    I have the Energon version of Omega Supreme and I'd buy this for it, honestly. However, cost is the deciding factor. I think it looks like a nice set, and I'm sure it'll look even better when it's all said and done, but seriously, if the price is too high, I'm passing on it.

    I realize that producing these things costs money, and I know it takes money to make money, but this is some rail road track and a couple of snap on pieces with lights. If it goes above $100.00, I'm not buying.

    Even $80.00's pushing it.

    Someone mentioned the Battle Tanker? Well, that was a lot of solid plastic with a bunch of features and snap on pieces. A lot of this is thinner, hollow plastic and only does so much for the figure. Battle Tanker redesigned Optimus from top to bottom, plus gave him a playset of sorts.

    This is just a backpack. A fancy backpack, but that's all it is.

    Truth, I'd pay 40 bucks for the kit at the most, probably less than half of that for Omega Supreme himself on ebay.

    That kinda looks terrible.

    The new cannon looks.. alright, but I kind of like his multi-barrelled blaster, and it really looks tacked-on. They should have copied the right arm and just replaced it wholesale. The wings are shit and all the stuff on the legs is ugly. The base mode especially looks bad, having a battleship just kind of sticking up like that.

    It'll probably fit, but the colors won't match. Be prepared for some customizing

    Project Genesis? Never heard of it...

    Okay, I just couldn't justify the cost and I love my YOTS Omega. This upgrade is a total MUST have for me!

    Beautiful. The tracks look a little think on his back, but the base mode hits all sort of sweet spots for me.

    Year of the Snake Omega Supreme is $100:

    Amazon link

    I know this is nitpicking, but you've doubled the figure's actual cost to make your point. So I feel it is warranted.

    Genesis is a nice figure, too. It's possible to like both. I do.

    You know... I cant help but agree about the cannon arm, it really needs to extend on back some... but I digg the base mode. :D 

    I am gonna wait and see what it looks like painted, the cannon mode probably wont look that bad in full color.

    RK has plenty, over 300 left, they're the cheapest and best source to get one. Some places are already well over the $400 mark, like Ebay, so don't miss out.

    yeah, yots os is about $100 and hopefully with this kit will still come in under $230. and for an updated version. yes maybe the figure is around 10 years old but that's newer than the original and this upgrade really brings it up to snuff.
    and hey i think genesis looks cool and i like what it did for 3rd party but i'm just not into wfc toys so that has no place for me. and to ME this upgrade will give a better base mode than the secret base mode of genesis.

    Makes for a pretty fun alt-mode I think, but doesn't do much for the bot.

    If this is remotely close to $100 then im out. Can't come to terms with an upgrade kit costing as much as the figure itself..

    Asked the wife her opinion between this and genesis (without mentioning price) and she liked the look of this better. Said genesis looked like a fat-ass.

    I would be ok with this mold if I could do something about the lack of ankles. just makes the legs feel so unnatural. Speaking of...how to you add ankle tilts to things? Saw that uuser's custom has them, I just have no customizing experience.
