I guess this shows that the transformations is different from Siege Optimus Prime?Those forearms,doesnt like they convert the same

Still not a big fan of the Movieverse G1-ified Optimus. It's great for those of you who care, but to me it's just pandering to the G1 fans

I think he looks really good,but I get where you are coming from.The G1 designs should't be the only influence on the robots.

It’s not a retool of siege. That’s just a theory people keep saying but if you look at how his legs transform, they accordion from the side instead of the back similar to blastoff, rook and brawl molds. It’s a new mold.

My frustrations aside, that does look a lot better in-hand than the official product shots.

What frustration, that here on out every single toy will be Optimus Prime, to the point that we are currently looking at literally a Transformers: Bumblebee Optimus Prime?

This OP looks really awesome, and it doesn't make me regret buying the upsized Evasion OP in the least. Two different takes on the character, both of which I'm happy to have in my collection.

Alas, the one figure from Studio Series that I cannot afford to miss out on. I will definitely be getting this guy as soon as I see him in stores. I hope he is at least SS Voyager Prime's size(the first one), because I would like some size to indicate presence in my collection. Also, I am liking what steps of engineering that is present in this photo, like the folding side panels on the bottom of his forearms.

BTW guys, pictures of the components of Devastator and possibly a teaser of KSI Boss have been posted on TFW2005. Check it out:

Edit: You already know about Devastator's components, but the possible KSI Boss teaser is interesting, if it's not fake anyway

That spoiler's almost as big as Hot Rod's. XD

I'll have to get that new Megatron and sell off the old one.

I did that with Optimus, thats why i always buy my figures as cheap as possible. So that i can then sell them as equally cheap if ever need be and not be stuck with a bunch of unwanted figures.

For that Megatron, I plan to be a bit evil. The new one may be returned because he's "defective".

That’s the one. Just...so many Optimus Primes that all look the same.. I bet GEEWUN John Warden eats plain oatmeal and boiled goose every single day for breakfast, because he doesn’t seem to like any variety.

To be a little fair this time, it was Travis Knight who wanted a G1-looking Optimus in the movie, and at least the Siege line will be giving us a Cybertron-based Leader class Optimus.

We have confirmation?

On which part? For the former, there was that whole video in which Knight talked about the designs being G1-based like he wanted, while the latter had that IDW art of everyone (minus Windblade) in their Siege toy designs with Optimus as a retool of Magnus's inner robot wearing his Cybertron altmode's truck front on his chest.

The movie/G1/Studio Optimus proves what Bay COULD have accomplished if he'd actually tried...

[o.supreme]

Read up on Devastator this weekend, posting my thoughts now. It seems impressive. Still would have been cool to get all 9 Components instead of just 8...but I guess its better than 7, or 6...

I just wonder if they release other Constructicons later...(i.e Demolishor)...if they will have compatibility with Devastator as well.

Some advantages I see with spacing out the releases throughout 2019 & 2020, is that it is DEFNITELY easier on the wallet. Some disadvantages are...For some like myself, it would be hard to resist the notion that or may release some form of special Box Set, perhaps even as a convention exclusive the closer this thing comes to completion. The only bad part is, if one were to wait, and no such thing was ever made, then it would be difficult to go back and get some of the first figures that would no longer be available. But it would seem almost like a waste of funds to obtain them all upon release, if a box set appeared later....

decisions, decisions...

[Overcracker]

Looks off somehow. Not sure what it is. It's almost like someone took a robot and made it look like Prime, but its not quite Prime.

Not sure, how to explain it. Its o.k I guess, but there's something off about it.

The guns look very different to me. Beyond perspective. The one the box seems to have a rounded barrel, while the one he's holding in reality is flat and angular and much longer.

Need more pictures before I can say for sure.

[no-one]

It's his weird boxy shoes that look off.

Boxy, but good...

They almost look like they're turned backwards, better than visible toes I guess

[Overcracker]

Maybe, the feet, but also the torso. The legs are suitably Prime-y however.

Tbh I side with neither the G1 or Bayverse preachers. I love Transformers. Period. If the movies go full G1, that's fiiiine with me. Soundwave was amazing in this movie after all. Almost worth it just for him.

Isn't a case of being genuine or not.. they were just bad!

He said "geewun" (as in the derogatory "G1" term), not "genuine".

Sorry, I misread his post.. still doesn't negate them being bad

I get it, and I understand exactly what you are saying. But I think thats ok because while taking from other designs, it is still new and we never got a good look at this hybrid. So it needs some warming up to. I still think this toy is a great accomplishment for being this close to a brand new CG model and looking so "clean" in bot mode (kibble wise).

[TulioDude]

Please let's not derail the conversation again.
With that being said,why bother come here to leave a passive-aggressive about the movies and them leave?

Who is with waiting,the Blitzwing/seeker-body type toy?

For me, it'd depend on how they handle it because I've been holding off on getting SS Starscream because I've always hated that triangle body. I'd love it if they made the Cybertron Seeker design cause it was just so weird and quirky, but I'd definitely buy Blitzwing just to use him as a Starscream. But if he looks too similar to Starscream's original body type, I'll bite the bullet and just buy Starscream. Though, this would be acceptable too
