    I don't think this is a must-have for me, but price and scale may be a factor on deciding if I get it.

    Did any other named character use this body type in the game?

    I had forgotten all about Second Chance before scanning this forum. Their Shockwave still impresses, but their Optimus feels more like they cleaned up the original toy. This guy feels like Planet X went to town bringing the game model to life.

    Part of me will really want this. Another part thinks it's kind of nice to have a few Transformers still in my collection that DON'T take 5 minutes to transform... plus I have the shiny cherry red Takara version... hmm

    If it's not too large, this might be cool. Voyager size or smaller would be neat. But if it scales with their FoC dinos, probably too big a scale for my collection.

    I think they are/will still sell pretty well. I can't find Genesis, and almost missed out on Vulcun.

    These new pictures look great. I can't wait for PreOrders to go up.:)

    It's based on the same character and has a similar look, but that's where the similarities end. This is pretty much designed from scratch, if you look at the arms, legs, shoulders, etc. This is not just an upscale and retool, and I don't think it's fair to discredit Planet X's designers.

    I knew this would happen eventually! I was hopping for WFC version, but this works for me! I'm totally getting this! :3

    I love WFC OP as a figure, but the in-game model was a bit awkward in terms of its proportions. Although the FOC design was a bit chunky, I actually think it's slightly more balanced proportionally.

    Beautiful, but is it possible to bash the chest windows similar to the original deco? I believe it's supposed to be black area with a red angular line through.

    Anyhow, as an aside, does anyone know if between the 2 games, OP actually changed to a different vehicle or was it meant to be the same vehicle but redesigned/re-imagined like the Endless Waltz Gundams.
