Was hoping for at least a new head sculpt, but yeah. The only thing he has going for him is the blinged out golden arms micron sword. The Deluxe OP mold is pretty meh compared to the FE Voyager.

 

Since I don't own dlx Optimus Prime mould, Orion Pax might be a nice oddity for me. I must, MUST resist getting Arms Master OP for the sake of minicons >_<

 

Im still hoping that when I open my Sideswipe box he has rubber wheels. -fingers crossed-

 

Can anyone confirm Sideswipe's release date? I heard that it was initially Sept-Oct, but it says on TFSource that it's November, and on BBTS it's December.

 

Sideswipe looks awesome, can't wait to have him. As for Red Alert, still disappointed by his red thigh. Looks like I'll be picking Red Alert when Hasbro release him at much cheaper price and hopefully they'll correct his color as well.

 

You know, now I want a second bot mode Red Alert so I can display one with a black helmet.

 

Is that Predicus i see? or someone else

 

So does anybody know if that big thing at the bottom of Arms Micron Weaponizer Optimus Prime a new Micron or just a weapon? I saw it referred to as a Matrix on TFWiki, but no explanation as to whether it was just a weapon, a matrix of leadership or a micron. Just curious.

 

Last weekend of Oct.

 

The base of his sword?

It's kind of all three. It looks to be something you build (like one of the Arms Microns), but it's a giant matrix for Prime, and combines with his Shining RA to form his giant sword.

 

Hopefully the Hasbro version of Red Alert will have him with the black helmet, as they tend to go for more of a G1 toy accurate than toon accurate. And hopefully his weapon will be black with a red tip and his Fire Chief will be back at the bottom of his hood/chest.

 

AM Orion Pax is definitely a must get for me
