    When looking at the previous four leader class figures, especially Grimlock and Megatron, it absolutely baffles me that Hasbro didn’t bother to add more paint on this figure. The trailer alone could’ve used more blue at the very least.

    I think it looked a bit better in the renders. But still looks worth.

    An evasion remold from SS38 is possible knight optimus would probably happen but I'm not so sure it will

    So has it been confirmed that the core Optimus figure will combine with Jetfire? I haven\'t been totally sold on SS32 and Jetfire so it would be nice to know for sure before I make my decision on them.

    I hope not, honestly. We just got AOE/TLK Prime barely two years ago.

    Yes. Leader Jetfire comes with a stomach piece that can be pegged on to this Prime so that they can combine. That’s one of the many reasons why I held off on getting SS-32, actually.

    Well it looks like they fixed that awful bright red that SS-32 has, but the lack of paint apps here is seriously disappointing.

    This may be the Studio Series OP that I get.

    That Trailer Armory Optimus is pretty freakin' sweet. Glad I passed on the Voyager version.

    I'm one of those guys who got SS-32 knowing this was coming out. T-Hybrid said this and it rings true to me...I couldn't resist getting a Jetfire/Prime mash up right then and there so I got both. I'll still get this guy. As far as I'm concerned SS-32 will spend most of it's time combined with Jetfire, and this will be a separate Prime to have around too. Win-Win situation for me!

    You're going off about a gun?

    That's....well, sure a thing.

    Everyone complaining about the lack of paint: the budget for paint probably went into the extra accessories.

    Wrong. Only Part of the budget went into the accessories. As far as engineering there is next to none as the core figure has been used twice previously and that covers the core. The lack of paint is VERY inexcusable on something this price

    Not enough but also thus far is a single use mold. Makes up for that with some nice engineering vs grimlock who is covered in a nice paint wash but has a much simpler engineering as well. I call them about even

    So, how much paint are you expecting?

    There is a marked difference between criticizing something and "going off" about it. Your condescending response is entirely unwarranted, though I suspect it made you feel like you're very clever.
