Just after the big news yesterday of our first look at the upcoming Legacy Evolution Commander Armada Optimus Prime, we now have a new in-hand photo this morning of the figure’s super mode in a pose similar to the one shown off in the aforementioned product image.
While we’re still waiting for the official reveal, we will be sure to update with any further pics that come our way of this highly-anticipated figure, so stay tuned and let us know your thoughts on this guy in the ongoing discussion thread!
Update: Many additional pics added, including the cab’s bot mode, truck mode, base mode, size comparisons, and more.
Update 2: Even more images here.

I like the doors and the skirt part, everything else looks worse. Even the hands look kinda uncanny and lack the charm the stock ones do.

Not only do they not provide Mini-con ports, they actively remove the 5mm ports that are meant to stand-in for them, so you can't even employ the intended Micromaster stand-ins.

It was pointed out by someone in the 3rd party boards that the hands for the add-on aren't even that articulated. They just have a pin at the base knuckle and can be splayed.

Nevermind. I'm not talking about it though

Anyone know how to remove a stripped screw?

they couldn't even give the super mode shoulders mini-con ports. that's arguably the most important thing along with sparkplug. most of this is useless. even the articulated hands are useless. I never got the appeal of wanting to disassemble a perfectly good toy like Armada Prime and give him things he doesn't really need. some toys I can see needing it but I dont understand the want to "upgrade" every toy they release.

Anyone know how to fix the loose chest/back piece for the figure? It's the chest for combiner and the back for normal mode.

WTF is the deal with the grey gun tip??? It looks rediculous

Would be great if DNA did kit for Megatron, replace rubber parts, add arm covers, fix loose hips and stupid shoulders.

The only thing I absolutely wanted from DNA would be the split articulated crotch panel. I guess I could go with the articulated super hands but other than that I certainly don't need the rest of that stuff. I don't really see myself spending money on that.

The Metroplex one was pretty good, just the stuff you need and no bloat.
They really should've done the same here, make Sparkplug with new hands and skirts with maybe a gap filler or two and call it a day

The Studio Series Ironhide kit was pretty good value IMO.

Overdid it huh? Aside from the fist and side door panels, yup, the rest are really unnecessary.

Has DNA EVER had a kit worth the asking price?
lord ginrai
If you wanna get rid of either the Go Better or DNA door panels, hit me up. I'd gladly take either off your hands.

I'm interested in 7 pieces.
Fists, leg covers, foot pads, codpiece. Possibly the door panels but the GB set came with some, so this set would need to be better those.
So, 7-9 parts. No need for the butt flap or the weapons. Yuck.
Pixelmaster
Of fucking course they copied Fanshobby, that explains the new chest, duller gold and splitting skirt

All these pieces in this set and all I want out of it is the hands and new front flap piece. That’s a lot of waste. Assuming based on their recent prices this will be at least $49.99, I won’t be able to justify it.

I only hope this means they're thinking of releasing Sparkplug, and maybe Over-run, in a separate set. Because this is all completely useless.
I'm usually all for DNA's kits, but they got a weird bug up their butt on this one.
Tetratron
So they’ll make a whole Wheelie figure for Grimlock but no Sparkplug?
