Glad I'm not the only one who was pumped for this guy, and satisfied when he finally arrived. That said I always loved the G1 pacifist take on him so I almost always stash his guns on his back in 'bot mode

I wished my preorder was delayed because I just saw him at retail for sale at $35 along with other Leaders - Tigerhawk, RotB Optimus Primal, Bumblebee movie Megatron, BW TM2 Megatron, and Skyquake 😞. Oh well, you just never know when they go on sale. But I did get BW TM2 Megatron on sale, so it wasn't a total loss.
