    PCSX2 is the best PS2 emulator. Afaik, the armada game doesn't run very well on the emulator. If your laptop doesn't have a dedicated gpu in it, it's probably not going to run well.

    DM me if you wanna get technical with it. I think I still have a pcsx2 folder with a bunch of bios files.

    More shots from FH. I really think December release is possible at this rate. 20201110_105417.jpg 20201110_105436.jpg 20201110_105451.jpg 20201110_105508.jpg

    Indeed, but I feel it could look worse. The design of them works well with the rest of the figure IMO.

    The trailer hides the feet well enough for me

    I’m still trying to figure out how the trailer attaches to Prime. It’s a really weird connection.

    Maybe it has a unseen clip on that clips on via primes large feet, and has a swivel in between the clip on and the trailer? Or its a really long peg and there's a hole in between the feet you can't see. Just some ideas

    If I had to guess, there are tabs on the ankle joints (the blue parts near the back), I think the trailer hitch may use those given how far back to looks to be sat

    The hitch on the trailer is like a T bar shape judging by the photos of the combined mode where you can see it hanging on the back of one of the trailer panels. I wonder if you have to tab his legs together with that between and then secure it by clipping his feet over the top?

    Possibly. Looking at prime in truck mode you'll notice a bit of a shadow just below his feet which may indicate there's a hole beneath his feet. And that shadow seems present in between the feet too. Just noticing

    The white feet in robot mode don't bother me much, but in the truck mode, it's not the best. Granted, I'll usually have the trailer attached to the cab so that won't be much of an issue for me. Now onwards to a painted trailer pics and full HOT and painted combined mode pics.

    They won’t be white in the release version. They still haven’t added all the paint details according to their Facebook. They will probably be the same silver as the chest grill.

    If those are silver I'll be pretty happy with that.

    It seems that they’re going with the Dreamwave colour scheme (my personal favourite but comes close with the PS2 game) so the feet should be silver, but they might just go for black we don’t know.

    I definitely like what I see, but I still don't care about a) the supermode, b) the trailer, c) the trailer base.

    So I'm still very much hoping for a supercon version. Sad thing about that, however, is that the Final Battle colours are my absolute favourite colours (and not just for Armada Optimus, but for Optimus in general) and the supercon was only released in regular colours and Nemesis (well, and Cybertron colours and Magnus).

    I may be back in on this. I never had the original as a kid. I did have galvatron though, and I still have him. Will definitely get that, if they ever put it out.

    Love the super mode but that truck mode is terrible, worse than the original.
