Maybe I’ll finally have a generations Bumblebee. I hated the partforming on the last one and the Classics is very noticeably gigantic next to the generations cast.
The Japanese "mook" ("magazine book") legends sized clear Optimus Prime has new colour images of both the toy and sample pages. It features both Legacy/G1/BW and ROTB content, so I'll post a link to this post at the ROTB thread too.
Currently, this isn't available yet, but I'm sure it will be soonish:

Wait till we find out its a remold of ER Cliffjumper.
That would be hilarious.
Earthrise Cliffjumper is one of my favourite new moulds so sure! 
It'd be a pretty good mold if they retool away the lame car trunk on a stick, sorry, "shield."
It's fine, just leave it on his back where it belongs.
-ZacWilliam, where it looks fine and does the good work of Throttlebotting up the mold a bit.

Being unable to leave it on his back is the entire problem.
Then there is no problem it fits on his back fine and stays on his back fine.
-ZacWilliam, does the fact that it part forms during the transformation seriously bother you? I honestly can't imagine caring about that.

There isn’t any problem…? I just decided not to buy that toy and moved on. I don’t understand why this is an issue.
You're the one that seems to be making it one...
Partsforming does suck. Anything that has to be set aside disrupts the flow of idly flipping something back and forth. In ER Cliffjumper's case I was prepared to completely forgive it if they took advantage of it for a Camshaft remold, but that never happened.
I'd still forgive it. I still want the Omnibots.

Omni and Throttlebots should be on everybody's list.
My Powerdashers are lonely.
Did you see the upgrade kit that allows it to fully transform without the need to remove it?
I don’t trust 3D printed parts for anything that has to move. Plus, Bumblebee is an exclusive, making it somewhat harder to track down and it’s just more effort and money I’m not willing to spend when another Bumblebee is a matter of time.
“Nah man, just put those bits somewhere else and it's fine.”
“That’s partsforming.”
“Why are you causing problems?”
All I ask is that the partsforming thing do something. Transplanting an unchanged third of the vehicle mode as a backpack is just inelegant and the kind of thing I’d expect from MARS Convertors or dollar store knockoffs.

If it had only one peg and could stay in one of Cliffjumper's hands the whole way, I'd be happy with it. There aren't enough bots that enter robot mode with an accessory already in hand.
That'd be cool. We need more of that and weapon storage that a toy's suite of articulation can actually access.
