A month later, and now 100% for sure, these are finally in. I've worked on Optimus a little bit so far, and as much as I'm afraid to say it, I think I like him a little bit more than Ultra Magnus. The base mode definitely looks bigger on the picture tho. It just feels kinda pushed for nostalgia, but it kinda works. I was hoping the ramps could go outward, cuz the shoulders block them completely, and it's kinda frustrating. Why would you have ramps you can't even use. But the turrets are cool and Apex fits perfectly inside as well as in the cab. Don't think it closes all the way tho. Now to try out Blaster.
Oh, a cool feature about Optimus is even tho they are blocked with plastic behind them, he does have two rear windows on the cab. Just thought that was pretty awesome
Edit: Blaster's transform can be kinda complicated, but I think his base mode has more going for it. Love the opening tape deck

That's been known for some while now, having been suspected since the moment we saw the leaked Blaster image.
Here's the earliest photo showing it I can find from Blaster's NYCC appearance in early October 2015

Just so people know the spy tablet thing can fit in blasters chest. Now you have a reason to buy those things. Although it says Soundwave they can also fit in blaster.
From TFWIKI:
"Soundwave is also capable of holding Legends Class 'spy-tablet' figures in his chest compartment."

they've only announced through September right? Since they do a wave a month I'd imagine they get too him before to long ~ they are only releasing 3-5 figures across all scales per month in Legends, its probably going to take them most of the rest of the year to get through wave 1 & 2.

At least you know they are wave 1. Takara hasn't even announced their PMOP/Ginrai yet. I don't know how long I'm going to have to wait. Could it be next year? Unknown…

It's a decent game. I've only played a little so far. It is open environment, so it feels like you have a lot of freedom, but you really don't. Like when you are in the city, the game only has you go to certain sections. You can switch between turtles, but they don't make each one that special or individual. Otherwise, the moves are pretty good. The fighting in this one can get a little tiring.
I know I'm just getting impatient, but I was sure these two would be out by now. Optimus was practically done a long time ago, being an Ultra Magnus remold and retool.

That's still pretty cool, let me know how that is? I love Platinum Games, and even if I'm not mega into TMNT I absolutely loved Transformers Devastation so I might try this.
Omegaprime90
Ah, so it's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. That's interesting. It's always just said "Gamestop" on there. Dang it. Got my hopes up and everyone else's. Seriously tho, they should be coming out real soon

If that turns out to be the case I am not paying a 55% markup for some silver paint that I can do myself with a paint marker.

Don't think it is BBTS, they do send you a notification stuff has come into stock.
The company you mention distribute video games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cokem_International

I ordered the case. Optimus was sold out individually. I didn't get a notification from BBTS. I get emails from UPS telling me that they'll be delivering a package the next day, and it usually tells me the name of the company shipping it. This one says Cokem International, which I assume could only be affiliated with BBTS, since it would say if it was amazon, tru, or anything else, and I haven't ordered from anywhere else outside of ebay.
Also, all the other preorders for the end of May came out on Tuesday, so this is the only thing left. Their website said May 2016, and I assumed it would be end of the month. You'll probably get it around the same time.

You preordered both of them? I've had the Case of 2 preordered since last month and I haven't gotten any notices yet, did you preorder the case or did you get them individually?
Omegaprime90
If you preordered from BBTS, they should have shipped by now. I got a notification from UPS that the set I ordered is coming in tomorrow. So excited for both of these. Can't figure out which I'm more excited for. Probably Blaster, since I have Ultra Magnus and Optimus is similar.

A couple years ago, I would have laughed at the belief that Takara's PMOP might be drastically different or better than Hasbro's, outside of the obvious paint improvements. But after Armor Knight Optimus and Titan Devastator, I can't rule anything out anymore.

Only want that Blaster…
Elbastardo
For me, they could not have screwed up that blaster any more than that. Guess I'm finally getting the KFC one.
Skullhammer
Proportions are good, but those hollow limbs…ugh…

Definitely craving that Master Blaster.

When you consider that Takara has still not shown off their version of PMOP and there is a rumor that there will be an Apex armor coming out I would expect that Takara's PMOP will not only have a better paint job but it will come with the extra trailer as well. However, since Takara is now showing off product that wont come out until the end of the year i would not expect Takara's PMOP to come out until some time in 2017.

Powermaster Optimus…that one I'm definitely getting. Actually, it likely will be the only I'm getting from the TW line. But I'm going TT because it will likely be better painted and importing a TT figure is often cheaper than importing the Hasbro version or buying it in a local shop (if available).
But it will definitely need some work in filling in all those glaringly hollow parts that have no place on a leader class figure (or a voyager even).
