The pegs the wheels are on are different colors. One set has a black peg, one has a red peg, and one has a silver peg.

Edit: At least that is the way it appears in alt mode.

 

OK I see it now, it's too bad they did not have the wheels peg into the body.

 

I don't expect museum quality Masterpiece from a toy. I'm excited for all three Leaders and as many Pretenders as they want to make.

 

Primal looks great! Its cool to see him on there.

 

I\'m eager to see how Primal becomes Optimal.

 

But you'll buy it so Hasbro will know people will keep buying cheaper and cheaper built toys. Okay so I guess yep? Insert eyeball face emoji.

 

only part out of the LEader class rodimus thing I plan on using is the Deluxe Hotrod portion of the toy.

That just looks so goddamned sexy. it's like a little deluxe sized Masterpiece Hotrod.

 

Looking at those, there are 15 Prime symbols

great job, Hasbro

 

THIS IS FUCKING SOLD!!!!!! THESE ARTWORKS MAN

 

He doesn't.

 

Hardly your concern. You're giving him snark for supporting the franchise? The eyeball face emoji was accurate.

 

:O the matrix has a maximal symbol in it

 

The Matrix Primal comes with does, Rodimus and Optimus's are just normal.

Well that's mildly disappointing.

 

NOTRAB FTW!

 

What did he do this time?

 

He didn't leak the current art? Well you go new guy!

 

Hasbro: *makes the Rodimus Prime we've been waiting ten years for*

Fans: Yes.

Hasbro: *needs to keep production costs down in order to keep retail prices as low as possible*

Fans: FUCK YOU HASBLOW! HOW DARE YOU MAKE YOUR BUSINESS VIABLE!?

 

Maybe I'm just weird, because I love the toy-ness of the recent lines. It reminds me of late G1, the move away from diecast toward plastic, which unlike many, I actually loved.

I love the stickers, I love the blatant toylyness (coins new word lol) of them, and the fact that despite cutting costs they're *still* producing what look like - to me - awesome versions of characters I've wanted them to do for ages with great details and articulation... is amazing to me. I mean seriously there's some real magic happening here, for them to cut the budget and cut corners yet still keep producing lines and molds that impress me MORE instead of less with each successive line in the Prime Wars trilogy.

I mean damn. Awesome looking Dinobots; an Optimal Optimus with a unique version of a Deluxe Primal which - perhaps not exactly what I hoped for in my pipe dream version - is still really cool; an actual winnebago Rodimus who comes with what is - again, for me - a better looking Hot Rod Deluxe than any made before and - again, for me - even gives MP-28 a run for its money in terms of capturing the profile and proportions of the character; and to top it all off, other than the grey hands which I can overlook or wait for Takara on, the most G1 looking and MP-10 like toy Prime I've ever seen!? (I don't even mind the alt mode, like I said, I love that it's unabashedly a toy.) AND the Leaders can all bear the Matrix?

Take all of my money. I'm throwing money at the screen, but it just falls on the floor in a sad little pile and stares up at me as if to ask, "Why am I being rejected? All I want is to be exchanged for these lovely toys. Sadface."

Besides surely we can tell more about them from the actual toy images than the art work. The art work for me is just a lovely bonus lol.
