    I guess everything is relative. Is he crappy for $10? No… for that price he’s a fun little guy. Is he crappy compared to Newage or Magic Square legends size Optimus’ (Optimi)? Yes… the Hasbro Core Class sucks donkey balls compared to those versions of Optimus. If you don’t care e about the $50 price difference, there is simply no comparison. But if you DO factor in the price, Core Optimus is objectively fine.

    Gee, who would have thought the more expensive thing would be better in certain aspects.

    I don’t really understand a lot about this. Not because it doesn’t look “G1 enough” (I am all for creative interpretations) but because it just looks kind of bad. The idea of treads on the trailer is fine, but they look awful as they are. If they get painted on the final version they’ll look better.

    The extreme grid detail on the outer surfaces of the trailer looks really aesthetically unpleasant. Its too busy and it makes it look like screens or fencing.

    The folding light thing…what is it? With Optimus propped underneath it looks like he’s taking some “me time” under a “happy light”. It’s not like Core Prime is the kind of figure that deserves a display spotlight.

    Points for originality and functionality (storage for Core Bits is great) and I love that someone made a dedicated trailer for our crappy little Core Prime, but there’s so many off-putting decisions that I might have to pass on it. Allowing for possible changes between now and production, I won’t rule it out yet.
