    Never thought I'd see a Prime with such a huge cog.

    It's always neat to see stuff like this surface after all this time.

    That first one with the big cog wheel shoulders is pretty hilarious though.

    I'm guessing sketch one was like a real basic idea about having gaint cog wheels then sketch 2 and 3 refined it and made it more of a XTREEM Power Master. with the cannons arms linking to the torso rather then him holding the guns handles. Or maybe the other way around 2 and 3 were the OG idea and 1 was after they were forced to make it way cheaper to produce.

    Could be a fun project for a 3P or 3D printer type to make a conversion kit for an existing PMOP.

    Not a huge surprise. Late G1 fed design evolutions into Beast Wars and G1 continuations and reimaginings like Classics and IDW. G2 not only gave us tank Megatron but the first Megatron with a purple face.

    That second one is so good holy hell.

    For God's sake bring Action Masters back. And no, I don't mean RED or other boring, non-transforming figures that are just an existing design's robot mode copied form animation or something. Actual action figures made of the same plastics as TFs, but with colours, features, and design aesthetics of the original AMs, with a few Elites sprinkled in for variety. Optimus with giant wheels/cogs is so strange yet so distinct.

    Wow the second one with the double guns is freaking badass. I think I would buy that if they put it out right now.

    I wonder if Hasbro would let super seven put something like that out? Usually they don’t allow licensees to make transforming toys but this is kind of a tweener
