Via Perfect Effect official Facebook account, we have proper color renders and details of the upcoming Perfect Effect PE-DX-10 Jetpower Revive Prime.
This is a very original and promising project. This Optimus Prime figure combines elements from other different previous incarnations of the character. The alt mode is easily recognizable as the G1 truck, while the robot mode mixes elements and colors of the classic G1 and the first movie trilogy design. To top it all, the trailer can combine with the main Optimus Prime figure to create a winged armor, obviously based on the combination of Optimus and Jetfire from Revenge Of The Fallen film.
Here you are the full description of this item, including size and parts:
PE-DX-10 JETPOWER REVIVE PRIME
Est. Release Date: March 2019

As far as I’m concerned each time this thing is delayed, it’s a stay of execution on my wallet.
ZombieGavinS
Yeah when I preordered from Kapow it said the estimated shipping date was March/April but I'm not expecting to have it in hand until at least August… Doesn't meant I don't check my emails every morning praying for a dispatch notice though

In reality this was only teased 6 months ago. After another 6 we will probably know more
rikkomba
Understandably so, given that Studio Series has two alternative versions of the same idea, and everything together will probably cost less than PE's offering.
It might take a few more months.
Hexatron
No and I don't think PE has said much of anything about this for a while.
Requiem Prime
Have we ever seen finals of this? Didn't PE say they were redoing the shoulders?
ZombieGavinS
I am so hyped for this figure, literally can't wait for my preorder to ship (whenever that is)…
Props to Perfect Effect because I never thought I'd want to buy a Bayverse inspired design

It's possible that they'll give us a big update after the Chinese New Year holiday is over, which I believe is on the 19th. So we might get an update at the end of the month. Fingers crossed, I'm looking forward to this guy.

Well that's true XD
How long do you expect this one will be delayed? Since they didn't released new photo in months, at least couple months?
Pcm979
Quick rule of thumb: Third Party products are always delayed. Always. Sometimes for months, sometimes for years.

Is this PE jet prime getting delayed?

Free plug for Unicronic: anyone wanting pc-16 bad enough hes selling ginrai w/ cab and head upgrades for 150 + ship. I thought I wanted it that bad… but with going back over this thread I talked myself out of it.
DracoPrimal
A bot can hope…
stprime
They kod um so maybe prime is next.
DracoPrimal
Have you heard a voice shouting it joyously as if from a mountaintop? No, which means at least I have heard no such thing.
The general consensus seems to be that it won't be compatible, due to the remolding needed for the cab figure. BUT… If I could pay for this and have it work with 2 trailer options instead of paying >$100 for pc-16? Oh, yessssss
stprime
Was it ever discussed if the main bot can be used with the lg pm trailer?

THEY SUCCESSFULLY PREDICTED WFC SIEGE LEADER CLASSES!
There really aren't very many flames on it; I bet it would be easy to paint or sticker over them.
That said, I'm sure PE will repaint this at least once, possibly twice; that seems to be how PE do given its track record of 'leader class' releases….

While you are right that it's bot mode is referencing ROTF Prime it's alt mode is referencing G2 Prime, being the G1 cab with the black trailer.

I personally think it's a cool "multi generational" homage to Prime, but I get how some people don't like the mix, and want it to be one or the other.
Pcm979
The self-justification begins. I won’t be seeing any more of it, so have fun.

Yes but the figure isn't Homaging Bee Prime, or G1 Prime or (Insert Prime here). It's Homaging ROTF Prime, and for better or worse (Yes I know most people prefer the classic design, but there are bayverse fans who actually like the designs) ROTF Prime had Flames.
