    That particular cabover is sold overseas.

    That's cool. I guess for me in relation to Transformers.. it is hard for me to like the Evasion mode prime because of the supposed outdatedness of cabovers.

    He does have a mouthplate. He just uses it for battle. To be honest, I like the idea of it being like a battle mask.

    I honestly feel that the long nosed truck is more fitting for someone like Optimus Prime since I feel it carries as sense of largess yet a majestic feel to him. That said I'm not against flat nosed alt modes as well and I like how they pay homage to that in AOE.

    It never really got on my nerves. After all, Optimus Prime is, well, Optimus Prime.

    Unless you're a GEEWUN purist.

    Of course there are, just like there are people that insist on using that insulting term.

    I've grown to like him having a mouth (AoE has a lot to do with that as I feel he's really expressive in that one plus they fixed his nose so he doesn't have pouty mouth syndrome) and having a plate for combat.

    Anybody wish that Optimus Prime stayed a Marmon 97?
