It would be a most welcome surprise.



I thought they said something about the Matrix being able to be turned off while inside the chest, not sure we've ever seen the chest with the Matrix removed?!

Yes you are right. Matrix is fixed in the chest and can be turned on or off.

Lol

100% agree. Love this peice, have my name down with my contact for it and will have it.

But the whole "collect them all!" mantra being thrown around with this line it's giving me a very lacklustre feeling.

Made worse by the fact we don't seem to see XM make bad decisions when they can control it. So this direction has me incredibly stumped.

Unless something changed and I missed it here in the forums or other sources, the last I remember seeing was that XM we're still sticking to their idea of including the OP hologram arm with one of the other TF pieces.

It was going to be an "Easter Egg", so we won't know which peice it comes with until the first consumer unboxings happen.

If that's still the case we can still get amazing looking Holo arm! Just got to PO Starscream, Magatron and Bumblebee to secure it. Because this line isnt going to be one you can wait for "in hand" if you want to secure one. Geez, when was the last XM peice you could do that on!

Will be the most expensive arm in history!

Really hope they flip on this and just include it. Apologies in advance if they have and I missed it.

I imagine there would be quite a few on the secondary market from people who don't own Prime but purchased whichever statue it comes with.

However, no, I haven't heard of any updates on how it will be distributed.

Any News about the OP switchouts and the hologram arm ?

[Sanitarium84]

Saw a video about STGCC 2017 with an interview conducted with a XM staff. He mentioned of the hologram switch out arm part for Optimus prime.

Can someone confirm this if it's true?

Sounds like the hologram arm is coming with Starscream.

From my understanding, what XM is showing at the show is pretty much all that comes in the box (a finished product if you will). The parts that come in the statue following each TF is EXTRA to the previous one. So...Bumblebee will come with extra Starscream stuff. Megatron will probably come with extra Bumblebee stuff and so on.

Btw....just FYI...In the Transformers interview with Hery...you can hear the entire confirmed list of the first 8 Transformers. And it sounds like they are coming in this sequential order.

1) Optimus Prime
2) Starscream
3) Bumblebee
4) Megatron
5) Grimlock
6) Soundwave
7) Prowl
8) Shockwave

Needless to say...I am completely floored and excited for this entire line. I plan to collect the entire line.

They certainly picked the best out of the bunch. I'd love to see what they do with Prowl.

I was a huge fan of Soundwave and his undying loyalty to Megatron. He was solid as f#$%

What an awesome line up!
