    Pretty much where I stand. Toy itself is ok but I don't like the design it's based on much, including the "what the hell is this supposed to be" alt mode. Would much rather save the 200 bucks and buy YOTS.

    That was one hell of an arm to hold up YOTS omega supreme. Its not light at all. I went for YOTS because its value for money. But I can't help but admire the engineering that went into the 3rd party. I do hope sincerely, that they make some money to continue in this business. Fans can only benefit from that.:)

    same here, YOTS Omega is good enough for me and its an official licensed product. no point paying 3 times the price for the 3rd party alternative. i don't know, while its much more game accurate, there's something about it (apart from the price) that i just don't quite like.

    My thoughts all the way. YOTS is the winner, even though Genesis isn't all that bad himself.


    Ow, and you forgot Genesis's lights. The lights are also kinda cool.

    Just said screw it and ordered it from BBTS. I think he should fit right in with Giant.

    Considering getting YOTS OS for my classics collection and put next to Hercules.
    I've always liked this mold and I think it's even better now.

    I find myself wishing that his feet were more G1 colored in part because the red especially looks a little too plastic and cheap toy. I do love that he appears to have a quick and easy transformation (am I wrong?). That comes in handy when you're playing with your 4-year-old. Every time he asks to transform my G1 Omega, I cringe. By the time I get done, he's moved on to something else and I'm stuck with a mess o' base mode on my floor! :D

    He'll be here tomorrow, BBTS getting quicker on their shipping? Ordered Sunday, shipped Monday, never had that happen before. Usually sits there for a few days in the warehouse before shipping.

    Waiting for Blaster and Grimlock to arrive before shipping my loot. Wonder what's taking them so long.

    I'm from Argentine, I bougth OS in RK and received it in monday... really fast.

    This figure is impressive. I have Hercules (without the arms XD) and match perfectly with him. Highly recommended.
    Hercules $500... this figure $109 and is bigger than Herc. It is a must buy. :scalper

    Just got YOTS OS today. BIG!

    I really like the ship vehicle, it is very elegant indeed. The super-train doesn't really work but so be it.

    The robot mode is sublime too. So large and kibble free.

    The mobile artillery vehicle has a 3 headed dragon knee-cap - does anyone know the significance of this?

    Love this guy! He looks great!

    Considering that I collect old Megazords, I have no issue with the simple transformation (though the battle cruiser is very cool), but I love that he has lots of articulation. He is one hulking Autobot.

    I think the design would have been slightly better if the thigh and knee fold up in the train like it does in the battle cruiser.

    Got him Wed this week, just got him opened and clicked a few pics quick. All I can say is this is well worth 100 bucks, I havent enjoyed a figure this much since I got GG. Honestly, in my opinion, much better in hand. Pictures just do not do him any justice.

    Aside from the new arm and head... he doesn't really look anything like WfC Omega Supreme. That guy really deserves a new mold, not this lame attempt at making Energon Omega Supreme look like WfC. He does look cool as long as you totally ignore that he's suppose to be WfC Omega Supreme.

    I was going to wait for a sale on Amazon, but BBTS only has 266 left, and Amazon is listing that the product is coming from Big Bad... so if you want one you should order soon. :)
