TFW2005 has received an official image of the Canadian packaging for a Universe “Battle for the Cyber Planet Keys” set. It contains a repainted reissue of Cybertron Optimus Prime, first seen in our report here, along with Cybertron toys Longrack, Blurr, Runamuck and Buzzsaw. Click on the image to the left for the full view of the front of the packaging.

That's too harsh. It has improved. Runamuck's head is better than Armada Sideswipe's.
I did … back in the thread where we found out about the Sam's Club 5-Pack.

I'm confused…people don't like the one without the trailer, or this one:
Optimus Prime (2002) – Autobot – http://www.tfu.info
Because I have the Yellow Costco Repaint of that one, and it looks great in bot mode, it's freaking huge. I didn't know people didn't like that mold.

I got it for $2.00 at Goodwill and I felt ripped off too.
Scourgatron
Thanks! Now I don't feel at all like I missed anything.

Anyone know the price the box is going to be? For $50 I'd avoid it. For $30 I'd consider it, and for $20, I'd think about buying multiple boxes.

oh, i THINK i get where you're comin' from, but this mold never had a trailer ~ that was the 'Super' class mold (who's cab is about on par with a voyager) and yes, it is truly horrible, looking back at it it's almost worse then i remember. (i recall telling folks i picked it up for 40% off and STILL felt ripped off…)
AutobotMarine
Hmm, I dig Prime, Blurr, Longrack and I can deal with Buzzsaw. But the Armada Sideswipe remold has gotta go, why couldn't they reissue Cybertron Sideways or Thunderblast in favor for that crap?
Scourgatron
They had a gray and red repaint of that Prime mold for Cybertron with the Galaxy Force colors. I never got the Armada one because I didn't like the trailer.

wha-huh?
Scourgatron
I might buy this because the only figure I have from the set is the Cybertron repaint of Bendy Prime. No need for that stupid fucking trailer on my shelf.

Titanium Armada Smokescreen is the next Titanium release. This is way the line was closed down.
Velcrohead
How much does he owe him? And when did Armada Smokescreen get dragged into this?
Fort Max
Massive lolz at those people who were going on about this maybe being G1 Universe repaints, epic lolz in fact
rikkomba
Well, he's right. Armada Smokescreen OWES Titanium Optimus Optimum Optimal Optimou, for example.
Velcrohead
I want some of that stuff you're smoking…
MagnusPrimal
Well, there's some money saved.
Meh.

I am still buying this, but isn't that Armada Sideswipe mold for Runamuck really considered like the worst mold of the last 20 freaking years? I have the Oil Slick of that mold, and it's completely gimptastic. It's about as exciting as Twintwist and Topspin in bot mode.

That's a new mold. It was created by retooling Armada Cyclonus into Buzzsaw from Beast Wars, but as a copter instead of a Hornet.
As for Armada Cyclonus, they could have more than 1 mold of the guy on hand.
Ruination04
How many times are they gonna use that Armada Cyclonus mold???? If the RiD Cars are gone from too many uses this thing should be on it's last legs as well!!
