    Wow, i knew it was gonna be bad...but not that bad. Wish hasbro at least made them detachable from the legs bots too, that way people who complain about partsforming can keep them on and people who like to display individual bots could pop them off. Im sure 3rd party will make replacements, between that and the combined form hands having spiked knuckles and finger articulation i would be happy with this version.


    Additionally, can anyone with the original optimal optimus explain how the shoulder pylons move up from the gorrila mode forearms? From all the old pics it just looks like partsforming.

    The new one gives you Primal, ankle tilts and better bot proportions. I think given the option id pick POTP OP OP

    I did mention that POTP had greater show accuracy and articulation, but can you honestly argue that its sparse paint applications and cheaper, hollow plastic is on par?

    Never knew the original predacons, but I'm getting a G1-y vibe. I'm curious to see if they took any engineering cues from the 4(?) versions third parties cranked out over the years.

    Of course with that many running around, they could've done it on accident.

    Thighs are part of leg bots and too big to hide in robot mode, in beast mode they are below the beast.

    So apparently we're seeing everything the Power of the Primes is releasing aside from the Outback/Cindersaur Legends wave? That's a bummer: would've been nice to get Flywheels and Piranacon from the line before it ended. For that matter, what are they going to sell between July and the rest of the year?

    It was partsforming. Those pieces were spring-loaded and kind of shot off when detached.

    I'm not a big fan of the individual Terrocons, but combined Abominus might actually be my favourite of the CW-style gestalts. And this is coming from someone who doesn't like the G1 Abominus toy.

    Yep, no Prepugnus and no Blast Off. I guess we will be waiting for SDCC to see those. I guess I am the only one who likes Predaking. Cool for me then.
