    lol, interesting.. Seeing as I still have my original OpOp, maybe this is the version of the new toy I need to get.

    With that crown though, gonna rename him King Kongotron.

    Man, I had no idea I wanted Optimal Optimus in regular Primal colors until this exact moment.

    Shame about those stickers, though. You'd think a premium convention exclusive item released this late in the line would have been able to escape them, but I guess not.

    It's not like I'm an expert on how toys get made, but if Hasbro is aware that the stickers are a failed experiment and they'll be dropping them in WFC, you'd think these last couple of POTP releases would have been able to escape the sticker curse.

    Hey, cool, these little Prime Master "Primetenders" are something cheap and fun I can collect all of despite pulling way back on my collecting. The price point means I can just enjoy it. :D  There's only 13 and they're nicely spaced out. Sweet.

    (Months later, July 2 2018):
    ...

    ... Heeeey, cool, I didn't really need them all anyway... heh.. heh heh... heeeh...

    Another strange exclusive. Seems pretty bogus to have the same smaller Optimus Primal figure in a set that is the only way to obtain certain Primes.

    now where is this "shut up and take my money" gif.
    I really mean it, it is awesome, a good guy as Primal being made as an ultimate Prime and somehow a little evil since he is king...? Welcome shadow spark/nemesis/shattered glass optimus primal :D 

    Except vector prime I didn t want to collect the prime masters, I didn t see the interest of the engines and didn t like pretender suits without their proper bot. but now.... everything I thought is put in question

    SDCC exclusives are always repaints.

    Fuck exclusives. Repaints are one thing but whole accessories are bullshit. Also, fuck SDCC in general.

    1. KnightswordJuly 2nd 2018, 3:49 pmThe 13th is the spark of the Arisen, aka Optimus Prime, that is why it\'s Matrix colored, based on the spark chamber from Beast Wars.

      the reason the Matrix is colored blue for the standard optimal Optimus release is because it is supposed to represent optimus prime spark holding and the crystal inside the Matrix.

    Anyone notice there are pictures of Hound, Star Saber, Arcee, Megatron, and others on the throne?

    And since I brought it up, man, I really want Leader Evolution Star Saber, but maybe Hasbro would think other people would be like "hey, why would they give that religious nutcase a toy?" without realizing the original SS was a world-class awesome leader guy.

    (Rassa frassa why does Beast Wars have to have such a dedicated fanbase? Grrrr...)

    I....don\'t get it. Sorry. I guess it\'s nice enough but the whole crown and king ape thing just doesn\'t make sense to me. But then again neither did the rock group Chug set. I think I\'m just not the target audience for SDCC stuff.  (Except the dino cassettes...darn you Hasbro!)
