    Ah, I took another look and you appear to be correct.

    That's...unfortunate. I was really thinking/hoping that this guy could hold the Fireburst axe.

    Well, it's a good thing I'm springing for half of a blade set, because if he's going to have a shield it's nice to have a melee option. That said it's a darn shame that there is no Optimus out there who can do sword + axe the way he does in the climax. Closest you can get without mods is giving RtS Optimus' sword to Fireburst Optimus...and that barely works because the sword's handle is too thin.

    I recall there was an easy mod to make Leader Optimus' hands at least marginally 5mm compatible. Maybe I'll guinea-pig my mundane Leader OP.

    I rather TakaraTomy do something to the outlook rather than just the difference in licence plate

    Remember that the one in SDCC was probably handpainted and the license plate added via sticker or something. The retail version will most likely be the same between Hasbro/Takara like with the rest of DOTM ('cept Leadfoot of course)
