I look better than you.
​

I can transform.

I am more movie accurate.

Many Primes died because of you.

Many Primes died to create me.

We are Optimus Prime.​

 

Hide your faces, sh*t's about to get real serious here!

 

we don't know for sure what impact that kos actually have on the sale of official products. If you're talking about stuff like studio series and mainline figures, the primary returns Hasbro gets from those figures is from the sale of these figures through official retailers, and most people who buy from these are usually younger kids who don't know about the presence of kos and thus doesn't affect the industry that much. In terms of the sale of mp or mpm styled figures, the primary sale and return usually comes at the beginning when the figures are revealed, with a large influx of orders, which later dies off. So most of the time these kos are made a long time after the official product and thus should have little to no effect on sales especially because they have been revealed long after the window wherein there was the largest number of orders for the official figure. I'm no economist, so just take this w/ a grain of salt. But looking down and insulting people based on how they want to live their life is downright hateful. Hasbro isn't going to give you anything in return for what u perceive to be good deeds for their benefit and they largely have other more pressing matters to attend to. So I don't really understand what you're trying to achieve here.

 

Bringing the topic back to some appreciation, I'll say that I'm really enjoying ss32 a lot with ROTF Megatron:

You're so weak!

I quite like this mold. I can understand its criticisms, but I still think it's a really well done figure. At least in my opinion that is.  

 

Where did you get the RED BOUNCY BOY FOR £12?!?!

 

What criticism? As far as I know people generally prefer that mold

But how did you do that? How did you fit the claw through

 

It's legit!!! It's shipped! Woohoo! Thanks for the heads up @Sideways77 !

We are here, we are waiting  

So, a lot of people from what I hear still prefer the HTFD Optimus or the AoE EM Optimus because of factors such as scale, accurate smokestacks, screen accuracy in the legs and thighs and not having faux windows. Plus, ss32 does somewhat feel a little more fragile than other SS figures I've handled, but I digress. He's still an incredible figure if you ask me. He's got some nice heroic proportions, a strong sculpt, fun transformation and the ability to combine with jetfire and his jetwing trailer kit.

As for the blade sticking through him, I lifted up the backpack and raised the panel his head was on and unfolded the faux windows slightly.

 

Fine...:

Wouldn't exactly call that cool, but it's a peace offering

 

Captain, we've encountered an unknown vessel, maybe Klingon or Romulan in origin.

Something is happening, the vessel appears to be...changing.

All engines reverse, get us out of here!

Too late!

 

Yeah I see. It's incredible that this can be done with him. can we call that a gimmick?

 

Some SS44 fun

 

(slaps roof of trailer) This bad boy can fit so many weapons

 

mine shipped too! i’m so excited!

 

So many of you are aware of the countless plotholes of the Long Haul designs being everywhere in the Live-action series. As far as bayverse goes; there was roughly three Long Hauls total (not counting Garagebot) and Studio Series is essentially hasbros only shot at clearing up the discrepancy. And that's where Payload comes in...


Most will probably disagree; but I really think we should get a leader class toy of Payload with the proper "earth mover" dump truck alt-mode that the twins, Leo and Simmons were next to.


Canonically, it's been confirmed by hasbro that the real "Long Haul" was Devastators leg the whole time. The other Long Haul we originally thought was the main one from the firestorm battle can easily be re-identified as Payload because on screen, he was way bigger than his constructicon peers and even megatron himself which definitely qualifys for a Leader class toy.


And to tie Igor and the third Long Haul from Chicago loophole; I would go under assumptions that it was Devastators recovered limb from Egypt torn off by Megatron so the scalpel drones can fix the body for Igor to reattach and use again for the final frontier.


I'm probably getting a strong headache from just typing this but bottom line is that we need a Leader class Payload to build the Movie cons numbers.



Spread the word to Hasbro and Takara, please. I just solved a piece the continuity troubles for them.

 

What did you do to make your's taller?

 

Hell yeah! Glad to see the Jazz crowd rising

 

My bday is the 20th. I was planning on getting SS Long Haul and Dropkick. I've decided to go for MP Jazz instead. Studio Series can wait lol

 

You and me both (23rd for me). MPM Jazz is the best kind of birthday gift!  

 

Hey everyone!

I kinda just created an account here to ask this question, as I have been collecting Transformers since 2001...

After being damned impressed with the Studio Series line with Devastator's pieces, I picked up Studio Series 44, Leader Optimus Prime. I probably shouldn't have gotten him right after getting the FansProject version, but hey.  

I am wondering - is there any discussion or thought out there about upgrade kits or 3d prints to fill in the gaps on the jet engine? It's bad enough that you can see the mold pin marks on the wings (that seem quite hollow too), but the engines being hollow is REALLY offputting. I see that DNA Designs is doing something for SS32 and 35, but that doesn't really help the jetpack.
