    How can someone nerdy enough to call himself "Orion Paximus Prime" not be nerdy enough to know who Star Saber is?

    I'm just curious why you even care what others will or won't buy. Why does it matter even how they justify what they want? I don't get it.

    Do you go into subways and berate people for their sandwich choices? I don't even know what in the fuck is going on here.

    There's not much to improve transformation wise but they can certainly add more articulation, especially to the smaller forms. Then it's just the usual thing of improving proportions, adding detail and trying to find ways to tweak certain details of the transformation.

    I expect their biggest headache will be trying to give him both the brainmaster gimmick and a head articulated to modern standards.

    I think OPP's original question wasn't how you could have nostalgia for Star Saber's selection, but why are so many people excited for Star Saber's selection in the first place, since nostalgia is more than likely not the overriding factor for most people.

    A question which I noticed remains unanswered.

    Personally speaking, I could not possibly care any less about this "big announcement"... but I am happy for all the Star Saber fans out there.

    Victory Leo - Transformers Wiki


    "Feeling guilty over taking up Star Saber's time in such a manner, Ginrai was quick to come to his aid when the newly reunited Breastforce combiner Liokaiser proved too much for Star Saber to handle, Unite! Liokaiserand also later when Star Saber was lured into a trap on Earth by Decepticon Emperor of Destruction Deathsaurus. Confronting Deathsaurus in battle, Ginrai was struck by a blast from the villain's Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon and badly damaged.

    Despite the best medical efforts of Perceptor, Wheeljack, and Minerva, Ginrai's body was left useless and immobile. Due to a slip by Perceptor, however, he learned of the existence of a reconstruction process conceived by Star Saber that would allow him to become a power-up for the Autobot leader. Star Saber refused to allow him to submit to the process, revolted at the notion of using his close friend's body in such a way, but Ginrai insisted. Perceptor and Wheeljack brought his life functions to an end, and then restored him to Star Saber's specifications as Victory Leo."

    I was going to write something silly making fun of all of the BS going back and forth. Then I decided I just don't care.

    Those who like it will buy it, those who don't wont.

    And Florida IS little Japan!

    Armada Optimus got second? I almost wanna see what would have happened if he got first, just to see reports of Transformers fans' heads exploding all over the world :lol 

    In any case, this doesn't surprise me at all, and I'm actually pretty excited for it. I won't ever buy it since it will have to be imported and I couldn't afford it, but I always love seeing old designs get updated, and Star Saber could benefit very much from this.

    Plus, this also means that Victory Leo should follow suit!
