I already liked him, but these new pics have me very excited seeing the wings down and a better look at his details. He does seem to have some elbow articulation, but I'm not so sure the shoulders can support those big arms.
Only down side is I think he's smaller than expected. That HA BB in the box next to him looks pretty big in comparison.

By 22", did he mean the height of the armored robot mode or the length of the vehicle mode? Because I have a measuring tape in my hand, and I can't believe it's going to be THAT huge in robot mode! It's absurd!! EDIT: I have a 1:32 Mighty Haulers Kenworth truck model with a die-cast trailer, and it reaches 22" from the tip of the nose to the very end of the trailer. So, I guess he meant the vehicle mode.

In the report he's stated when it's combined and standing tall, but I'm sure it will depend on how you display the wings too, either up or down. If I were to buy one though I'd probably just leave it in truck/trailer mode and display it next to MP-04.

22" still doesn't sound quite right in robot mode, even with someone holding it. I wonder if it's measured to the wing tips?
One thing I did notice from that gallery is that the back of the combined mode is completely different from what we saw in the official pics. The official pics showed just the cooler unit from the front of the trailer on his back, but the show pics show a large piece covering that with what looks like some rockets making this a little bit closer to what we saw in the trailer assuming the rumors were right and that wasn't the Jetfire combined mode shown.

Let's put it this way, Fort Max was 22" tall, Ultimate Prime doesn't even come close to his size.

Yeah your right, maybe at the wings highest I can see maybe 18", still it's a pretty tall figure.

Oh yeah, no doubt it's a big figure, but the numbers are sadly just hype.

What throws me off with this ultimate prime is how his fists are molded/ un-articulate somewhat unusual to what we are accustomed to from the Leader Class series. The trailer meshed into Prime in robot mode just cheapens the over-all look of the figure even more....to me it kind of looks like a "super-sized" voyager series not Leader classs worthy. I'd have to agree, the definitive version of Prime has already been issued under ROTF, I'll go ahead and pick up the Buster combo pack. - Thanks guys for the input on prime.

I am holding out on Prime still. I suspect there will either be a reissue of the Leader Prime or an updated one. Either way, the best Leader Prime will likely make its way to Takara's MP line.

Well, if the Jp version of Buster Prime now sits at a solid $100 one can only imagine how much they're going to charge for a redux of it like MP starscream.....$200 perhaps for an even better paint job?...I really don't know how much better they can make it Buster Prime is pretty awesome as it is.

So it's called Omega Combat Armor, huh. And it extends over 2 feet! Holy slag that's more that 60 cm!! Also, have you heard of the Blitzwing rumor?! True or not, Animated Blitzwing will always remain my favorite version with his three personalities. ;D

I've been watching the new commercials again and I've noticed a bird like Transformer and a Transformer with either a long neck or tail. Makes me wonder if those could be Dinobots or Predacons or was it just Laserbeak and just another weird looking Transformer.

Look's like we'll get a Thundercracker repaint.

Hell yes, Mr. Kid I always preferred Skywarp over the other 2: That Black & purple color scheme and his teleportation abilites are what got me hooked. Also the fact that he was my 1st Decpticon toy growing up... IF they had him in any movie, I would love to seem him teleport during a fight scene or while he is flying in plane mode, kinda like in Jumper or Nightcrawler in X-Men 2 or something to that effect. -B
