    This thing just keeps getting better, i'm really impressed with the thought that went into the ramp, which could have just been a tacky toss-in.

    Based on the toucan tip, it sounds like lining they will handle this the same way lego does. It's a random draw to see if you can get in that day.

    He looks like Dreamwave's The Fallen's flashier brother, the mythical 14th Prime 'The Fashion'.

    I hate Optimus Prime, but this toy kind of clicks with me. I think it's the intriguing skate-board ramp accessory. Maybe it just feels off.

    It's the only SDCC exclusive I'm remotely interested in, but... judging by the interest on this thread, it may be difficult to acquire. :(  Well, $50 is high enough, so if I can't grab him there, I guess I'll skip on this.

    If people want it for the Nemesis Prime vibe, you can definitely find a better one (i.e. the Tokyo Toy Show version), or something else down the line. This feels like a skateboarding oddity, with a proper accessory to make it cool. If not for his giant feet, it might have been cool to give Optimus a transforming skateboard.

    I was gonna say that it looks like The Fallen. It has a nice deco. I would totally use this as a Optimus version of The Fallen.

    Except the Tokyo toy show black convoy is nearly twice the price retail and a smaller figure.

    Well, shit, I think I want this now. As though I needed a 4th copy of this mold (and I still want Delta Magnus. . . )

    Though I don't bite, I gotta admit Headmasters is a pretty cool concept in itself already. And this play pattern of a skateboard park just kicks it up 10 notches. On the off chance Hasbro goes balls deep and gives these Titan Masters their own ridiculous accessory packs (just a head along with some accessories such as skateboards, hang gliders, surfboards, parachutes, hot dog stand, taco stand, vending machine, etc.*) you can bet I'm making a full plunge into the series.

    Hypothetical TR Hosehead has to come with a taco stand now, because if anyone would make the ridiculous mistake of having meaningless accessories, it'd be him.

    Not bad, and the simple paintjob makes his building mode work.  Kinda wish they ditched the silver guns to do something else.  Like a magnet in the board and metal on the rail and ramps.
    I do like the rail becoming a sci-fi railgun thing.

    It looks cool, won't be able to get it, but still it's cool.
    I like how the autobot logo and the company logo are still visible on the back of the legs.

    Also can anyone who gets this guy show him with transmetal Optimus Primal in his surfing gorilla mode.
    i.e. with this guy.
