    Is it just me or those metal abs are a DOTM Prime homage? They look very much alike to me.

    I loved movieverse cause of its unique aesthetic and designs. Obviously there were a lot of Decepticon designs that really didn't stick with me, but especially the seekers in the bee movie, and shatter and dropkick, those designs are what I believe epitomize what movieverse designs really should be. I feel that with this prime design, the g1 elements overwhelm the movie elements without allowing the movieverse elements to shine. Just my opinion though, I'll probably get this guy regardless

    Do it today. Honestly selling figures feels good. If you do it right you can make a profit, free up space, AND finance your next TF purchase! I did a major major purge in 2016 and 17, and I made thousands of dollars while freeing up space in my new apartment. It felt like monetary gifts from my past self who had less self control. It felt good. Now I sell off anything I don’t totally love and I feel less bad when I get new stuff. Plus if you REALLY miss something you can always buy it again. Practically every TF ever made is on eBay.
    Same. Fuck it. He’s the one bot I can never have too many of.
    It’s more like the DOTM abs were a homage to G1. Optimus has had metal abs since 1984 bro.

    Yeah, I'll probably purge this year. Considering it's racking up quite a bit of space in storage. Plus, I wanna move on to mps and mpms so ditching my classics and chug figures will probably do me well

    Hmm, theres some subtle changes on the figure compared to the CGI model. Which isn't bad, I actually think it translates to toy a little better, but comparing the two... Toy Optimus has windshield wipers and realistic smoke stacks. I wonder if they'll just give him an earth truck mode. I haven't seen the movie but I hope he transforms in it. Time will tell!
    Speaking of which, Tomorrow nights the night!!!! :D :D :D

    I was noted in my ig post that the silver parts on the ribs are mistransformed as it differs from the instruction cover image . So I’m guessing this is where hasbro is taking product shots

    Ah I can see it now, you can even see they're separate pieces. Interesting. And he's laying down so seems less likely to have a ton of back kibble.

    Plus it's so close to Christmas which would translate well for sales.

    I'm honestly not really excited in the least for that new Prime. Like Christ, how many Optimus Primes with a G1 paint job and alt mode do we need?

    I've been trying to tone it down more recently, but God, having the money to blow makes it awful. Especially now that 3rd party has entered the movie toys ring...

    I feel the same. There has to be a point when people get bored of buying the same design over and over again.
