    This Prime airs his grievances with a Festivus rifle! It's highly effective!

    How are other drivers on the road supposed to be able to read the "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" on the truck cab in their rear-view mirrors when it's not mirror-reversed. What lazy designers. Why didn't they make a Holiday Star Saber for people who didn't buy the HasLab. Booooo

    Nah man. The counterpoint to this toy is obviously a Halloween themed Nemesis Prime

    A new mold can be 100% recycled engineering. Look at Earthrise Screamer.

    A new mold just means that the physical steel used to make the injection molding is new.

    For example: the Tonka Devastator is likely a new mold. So are the o-ring Joes.

    Skellington Prime would be the ideal choice. White head, black body, white chest.

    Absolutely correct. It’s a new mold from the context. It’s just that terminology doesn’t really address the question that’s been debated so far in this thread: how much of him is shared engineering and from where?

    So they remolded Motormaster. Sucks it doesn't look like it'll go in the Menasor trailer.

    Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried but the license cost too much.

    Besides, Optimus is more of a Pepsi man, this is well documented

    They should have called it Christmas Optimus Prime. This does look cool.

    The real question: will Toyhax be able to get a set of monitors for the trailer out by the holidays?
