That's why I thought glow in the dark over translucent.
GitD can be done with both plastic and paint.
I mean they could even limit the glow to robot parts, and say he possessed an actual jet.

Or they could just re-release the version from the Galvatronus box set.

That's wildly out of scale with optimus and ectotron

As I stated, this "line" is actually in scale. Ecto, being a voyager, is in scale with this optimus.
And like, that can't be a coincidence, otherwise why not use PotP Optimus, or Siege Optimus?
Both of those they could have thrown in a smaller Starscream and cranked up the price, if they wanted a high priced exclusive.
In fact, both of those would have allowed them more freedom to do cool things, than the MP mold allows.

Fair point. And that actually does make it really weird that they did go with MP-10 in the end. Especially since I only made my suggestion because it was the obvious, cheap one, so it’s bizarre that Hasbro went for it. Maybe they’ve got factories set up doing all these MP-10 repaints at the moment, so it was easy to roll this one out..?

I got mine today!!!
He is really cool, but I doubt the rubber parts will survive for long without extreme care.
He is also absolutely not a Hotspot retool. He doesn't even really share his engineering.

There looked like there were reused parts, notably on the upper legs & upper arms which are gold on Ecto 1 and an annoyingly hard to photo black elsewhere! Any chance of a side by side photo?

Don't know about reused parts. Won't have access to the hotspot mold until tonight at the earliest. But they're saying on that internet thingy I once heard about that they share thighs, and maybe biceps.
His head transforms exactly the same way, and he has a very similar knee assembly, but the legs transform differently. That's as much as they share in the engineering department.
No photos because I've never found a host I like since Photobucket decided to charge.

Seems to be same upper legs. Otherwise looks quite different to me.

Has anyone pre-ordered one from Star Action Figures and if so has it arrived yet? Still waiting for mine.

Not from Star, but from Kapow and still waiting (it was supposed to be last week, then this week but still nothing).
So I guess the UK sellers are still waiting to get the stock from Hasbro.

Also pre-ordered from Star, and also received nothing, so am also assuming the same. Also.

ID Toys also said their stock has been awaiting customs clearance.
I completely forgot to order one when they were available so will have to take my chances on the aftermarket!

They'll be waiting too because it's Hasbro UK's import that is the hold up, not the individual shops'. They're all waiting on the same shipment to get to Hasbro.
