    So sold, that looks superb. Looking forward to seeing in color shots and the alternate arm modes.

    hope we eventually see Wing saber and Omega supreme as well.

    ooh, it’d be awesome if they snuck a powerlinx feature in as well. What if he had the features of both emerging Optimus figures?

    That would be a little bloated imo. He never did it in the show and having it would just make more panels and kibble for the toy

    The result of the other Optimus figure also looked like this.

    The original energon Optimus also looked odd, but Fanshobby made it look incredible. I’m sure they could make the powerlinx version look good too.


    Either way, it’s unlikely.

    Well keep in mind that it probably balances better with Submarine 4.

    It is really sad that a 3rd party has to step in to make things right for the fans of the Unicron Trilogy. This is their G1 moment, we sometimes forget that.

    Im getting nostalgia for Energon Landmine. I would love that big fella to get the 3rd party treatment as well.

    Time to start advocating for the full UT 3p revival. Everyone gets a new figure!

    I wonder if they will include an optional Primal-like face piece like they did with their Machine Wars Prime.
    I doubt it, and I'd never use it, but it would still be pretty neat.

    I would be surprised if there wasn't something like that. After the ear options, anything is on the table

    That's if people ask.
    And so far I haven't seen anyone ask for that face option.

    While I personally don't care for the split faceplate look, I would like to see an Energon toy colors version of this guy. I really like the paler shade of blue used on him compared to the more typical deep blues.

    One of my favourites, definitely a good contender for a 3rd party update.

    I don't like the faux grill it throws things off.
