    Even at Toy Fair I thought this seemed lacking.

    Isn't this thing Target exclusive?

    I think I'm satisfied with the Voyager, whose truck mode looks the least "torso-on-wheels" of all the BH Optimii.

    Been to a bar or a club where the lighting--or lackthereof--makes a chick look way better than she actually is? There you go.

    I can't stop comparing it to this:

    The figure itself looks well enough it's the accessories that are all over the place and garish to me.

    That looks bloody absurd.

    This on the other hand is rather cool, almost ethereal and beautiful.

    I think the New image looks better than the toyfare image, the arms are silver now rather than blue he's got extra paint on his shins, and he's correctly transformed at the shoulders.

    My critique remains the same though "That dragon wheel better be removable" as I have no need of it welded to his back and if/when I buy this it's coming off eve if I have the hammer some pins out to remove it.

    So I don't understand.

    Why does Optimus transform to a Dump truck and have a wheel on his back?

    Most likely a pass unless the show does something to change my mind. But bring on Ultimate Predaking, that guy is bough. He just doesn't know it yet.

    If that wheel of doom isn't removable, that kills it for me. I will pass in that case.
