    You know that this isn't the version of the mold that can combine with God Bomber, right?

    God bomber combines with takaras super Ginrai version of the mold, it's different. The primitive skateboarding powermaster Optimus is a repaint of hasbros powermaster Optimus prime which is not compatible with godbomber due to having different feet, arms and chest

    There's the American version which is used for the toy offcially called "Powermaster Optimus Prime". That one was redecoced as the black SDCC one. Takara retooled it as "Super Ginrai" and it can combine with Godbomber. Hasbro released Super Ginrai in a box set using the name "Magnus Prime". Only rhe Japanese mold works with Godbomber.

    It seems like he Atomatron would care, since he seems to be buying God Bomber with the intention of combining the two figures. (Also, it seems odd to say that I'm "full of it," then say "who cares?" as if you acknowledge that my statement was true?)

    The piece isn't removed on the Takara version, it's entirely remolded, so just taking it off wouldn't really work. Besides, the arms and legs still couldn't connect.

    Its more than just the chest piece. Takara's arms have a peg hole, and the hands slide out, Hasbro's don't. And the feet are completely different.

    So the ramps have pegs and the rail is long enough for those pegs to go into his base mode, making his base mode a skate park. He officially has the best base mode of the TR line. 20170724_174618.jpg

    Great review. Was wondering if you'd answer a quick question. Just bought one of these seemingly new and don't want to go rifling through it to find out: where did they hide the instruction manual for this?
