    Of all the times we have seen chrome misused in this line, this was the one place it couldn't be overused if they tried. And they used none. Imagine if this figure had the luster of the Target exclusive deluxe Optimus. It would take a step beyond tacky and become cool in a funny way. Tragic, really.

    I think we have our 1st nomination for worst figure of the year. BTW, I do like big women and my steak medium well but I can't for the life of me get behind this, this, depaint.

    Literally the only thing positive I can say about this figure is that it doesn't have piss colored windows like the original FE.

    The 1st FE has blue windows, it's the regular leader that has the ugly yellow windows.

    It looks better than the FE as it is without all that ugly chrome.

    This Silver Knight looks more like a Gray Knight Optimus Prime to me.

    There is only one leader Optimus Prime, First edition is not a leader figure.

    I don't think fans really wanted any version of this mold in the first place if we're being honest. But taking a subpar mold and doing this with it - egads.

    As a whole, most of the movie toys are awful. I'm only picking up the dinobots. It's a shame that you have to pay premium (tt) for movie accurate paint apps and paint apps that look good.
