New DOTM Leader Class Optimus Prime coming?

A CAD image has shown up on-line making the rounds highlighting a redecorated Leader Class Optimus Prime.

It appears that it is not an all new scupt but a slightly retooled version of the ROTF Optimus Prime. Presumably it will feature the new ribcage/chest.

Clearly it is coming with Primes big arm cannon but what is that in the right hand? Guess we will find out next week when the film hits...

Considering there's been a Leader OP for the last two movies, it would honestly have surprised me of they didn't release another one for DotM, even if it was just a slight remold. The RotF mold is pretty damn superior, and to have them throw that away in favor of a brand new toy, I believe, would be a mistake. Since the changes between RotF and DotM seem pretty cosmetic- barring new DotM gimmicks- it makes sense for a redeco of the RotF toy.

...On the other hand, we've gotten three new Ultimate Bumblebees at the same scale in three different movies. =\

Think I'll stick with my RotF OP (unless they include a Leader-scaled DotM backpack to go with, in which case...), though I still wish I had gotten Buster OP from Japan.

Just Prime

It'll be interesting if they do give us a new Leader class Prime in the states, even if its just a bare edition of the new Jetwing Prime they got in Japan.

Personally, I want the DKM-01!
