    Has anyone gotten one with painted mirrors from TRU, or are those all clear?

    Most of the ROTF LC Optimus Prime reviews i've seen:
    -"Impressive representation"

    Most of the MPM Optimus Prime reviews i've seen:
    -"I can't recommend it"
    -"disappointing quality.."

    I'll even quote some random comment in seibertron


    That shows how HasTak failed in their new line.

    I want to see the MPM megatron if it is actually a bit bigger than prime to scale somewhat well, if is the same size, we can compress the hips :p .

    All that "shows" is that you've picked out specific quotes to fit a narrative.

    Why does a comment on seibertron hold any more weight than a comment here?

    There's reviews going both ways, but I haven't heard any say ROTF is straight up better, and I've heard a bunch say MPM is the best movie Optimus.

    There's also a ton of comments on here bashing it, but I'd say I've seen more positive comments, and more people who agree with those positive comments.

    Even some of the people bashing parts of it still like it overall. A lot that I've seen saying "wouldn't recommend it" are only saying that if you already own a premium version of ROTF.

    Whichever you like better, I'd say the ROTF can no longer be considered the universally-most-liked movie Optimus, and the MPM can't yet be considered it either.

    There are still hopes to see if Takara and Hasbro can fix it, so we can trust themselves again.


    We'll see the light some day.

    Yes, you get a trophy! And you get a trophy! -hands one to DOTM Ultimate Optimus and Cyberverse Optimus (but seriously I love that thing. Can't understand why they didn't reuse him for the TLK Legion figures)-

    I think it's more like #toydesignerlivesmatter. That's probably why they haven't told us who designed this a-hole.

    IMG_6760.JPG All issues aside these two just ooze character and considering their character depth was about as deep as a puddle of water that's saying something!

    Even just standing casually they have more presence on my shelf than I thought, my eyes almost always get drawn to them.

    Edit: picture should be upright now!

    This always works for me, so maybe it will on your phone too. If you rotate the picture in the editor, save, then rotate back to normal and save again, that one should upload normally.
