To me this is like painting a piece of poop with gold paint. Still don't like the mold and paying even more for it is dumb. Pass.

 

The metallic red really does work for Prime here,since it makes him look more like his in-game counterpart.

 

They already did make War Within figures and tbh they all looked pretty meh to terrible, although Megatron was especially bad looking. I much, much prefer the WFC/FOC designs.

As for MTME (and RID), characters that have a WFC/FOC counterpart usually have those bodies, so in some ways these are MTME/RID designs too.

 

Apparently you can polish a turd

 

Hah, TG-01, the metal in Resident Evil Code Veronica, funny.

 

Not really fair to the War Within figures, considering they were all Titanium figures, which were mostly lackluster.

I'd love to see a regular line of the series, but that's definitely never happening, since most people seem to want to forget about Dreamwave for whatever reason. I mean, I get that Pat Lee pretty much took a giant shit on everyone in the end, but what they had going on in their series - especially the G1 series - was outstanding. I've recently begun reading all of the IDW stuff, and I just finished 'International Incident'. With the exception of a few issues here and there, and the All Hail Megatron arc, nothing in IDW can hold a candle to Dreamwave. The beginning of their run (Infiltration, Escalation, Devastation, etc.) was far too convoluted for its own good...

But, alas, I went off on a rant there...back to the topic at hand.

Lastly, I really like the FoC Optimus mold...I know it's small, but that's a piss-poor reason to called the figure crap. The mold itself is terrific.

 

Actually you haven't read MTMTE and RID apparently they are the best things ever made.

 

No, I haven't quite reached that yet, but I -am- quite stoked for it, as I hear good things.

Still, I doubt it's potential awesomeness will do much to fill the hole I've had ever since the Dreamwave continuity so abruptly ended, right when things were about to get epic...

 

Received Amiami instock notice and will be shipping mine within a few days  

 

Moreover this figure is even smaller than FOC Jazz,what the....

 

The size is one of the main things that bothers me about it. I saw it in person and it just looked ridiculous. Even putting him with other FOC figures he looks out of place because he's shorter than them, yet he's supposed to be one of the bigger characters. WFC Optimus does a much better job filling in with FOC/WFC, I think.
