    I just got this in and I'm really liking it however I'm just curious if anyone else has the issue where the rear mud flaps won't sit straight and end up hanging lower than the tires?

    Krampus Unicron is my pick. He's got the horns.

    Gaia Unicron is even about the same size, never got a U.S. release, and his altmode almost looks like a Christmas tree.

    Plus, it's a way to do a new or retooled Unicron figure that doesn't devalue the Haslab.

    I was considering it (mine should be here tomorrow), but not sure now that I will. Holiday Prime has green light-piping and to me OP should have blue eyes. Other than the eyes, I bet it would look amazing though.

    We already saw a pic when the designer himself did it. Unless you mean you want to see ER's head on Holiday.

    Man, that head really does look better. Really makes me wonder if an SS86 Op is coming...

    It's Prime so I wouldn't be shocked but I'd imagine that such a figure would be released near the end of the SS86 line.

    Of course there will be.

    SS86 will slowly evolve in to the general G1 Studio wing. It won't go anywhere.

    Got this guy in hand. Transformed it the first time and oddly felt like I had to be missing something around the shoulder area. Then I realized I'm not missing something, he is. G1 Optimus Prime looks weird without shoulder smokestacks

    But I got over it quickly. What a wonderfully fun Santa Optimus Prime. I really like the truck mode with the closed up back of the cab and accurate 8 wheels in the back

    No not yet.

    He’s growing on me. I think the alt mode looks pretty good and bot mode seems pretty expressive when posed:

    The back of the thighs/legs will require fillers.

    How's he look with the ER Prowl mold and the Legacy Laser Prime mold in alt mode? I think this guy has potential to look weirdly cool going head to head in cab mode with the Legacy Scourge.

    Not necessarily Prowl himself but his mold mates. It's my standard for a carbot since I have had Barricade for the longest and I like him the most with my semi trucks of the "full sized" carbots.

    Unfortunate. They seem to be doing better on the US side of Pulse.
