    With shuttle Blast Off in hand, King Starscream is now complete.
    Take-Off and Charlie Delta now form the legs.

    Ironic...this pic is meant to be funny, but it's the first time I feel like this Optimus looks epic. (lol) I don't know what it is...somehow this pic accentuates his face, and he looks so stoic to me. Geeze, now I want one... (lol)

    The black repaints for these two are pretty fantastic. Found a Rodimus Unicronus in the wild today. Hell yeah.

    Throne of the Primes is so lame. A super exclusive item that is (so far) the only way to complete the Prime Masters, I think I'd be less offended if they included them in the Amazon exclusive ones (instead of doubling up characters) cause at least I can just order those online easy at 'regular' prices.

    I have zero interest in another monkey Prime but I'd have to shell out eBay prices on him and some cardboard to get the bots I actually wanted. :( 

    Just makes me annoyed cause I collected (and like) all the PRE-TEN-DAH!!! ones but unless they come up with another way of getting the others, I will never have the whole team.

    I feel the same. I wanted to have all the primes. I'm working on getting wave 3 of them now. I love the pretender shells. I use them with my son for his 1 step rid figures.

    I know this might be a super unpopular opinion but I don't care for optimal Optimus/Optimus primal. I didn't buy the standard release, I'm not gonna give triple the price for the exclusive version.

    Starting eBay bids are around $80 and up. Amazon has it for $200. Given how "needed" this figure is, I suspect that the price will go up. The reason for the price being somewhat higher than original recipe optimal is due to a recolor and a cardboard throne with a new scepter weapon that can house the included 4 prime masters.

    It looks cool. I'm not the biggest fan of it after staring at the official photos for what seemed like hours. I think the only thing that I'd want is the hip/thigh parts. Grimlocks thighs bother me for several reasons when in torso mode as they are kinda weak with the weight being the main reason.

    $200 is crazy! $50 figure, 5 masters x $5 Each?, scepter maybe $10? Throne $10? Plus tax so thats like $100 tops. And thats prob being generous
