Cautiosly excited for this guy! (The figure)

 

So much potential. Can't wait.

 

Prepared for disappointment, but hoping for excitement.

 

I know I'll like him from the waist down!

 

Are we still doing phrasing?

 

Thank God we’re finally getting a Matrix accessory.

 

Cool, it's a different Matrix.

 

Loved this figure from G2. Genuinely excited for this remake.

 

I'm ready.

 

The star of Legacy is awaiting us!

 

you joke, but unless you were an MP collector before siege or earthrise it was annoying as hell trying to find a matrix. before then it was all in exclusive boxsets that stuck you with classics rodimus or galvatron. or both.

 

Matrix accessories go back to the New Year's Convoy G1 Optimus Prime reissue in 2003. Maybe even further back!

 

tbf, it looks a lot better than the previous version.

 

Goes back to the 90s where it arguably had a far better execution of the holding pose than the current one does.

 

The RtS Battle In Space set was hardly that expensive and was a great way to get a Classics 2006 Rodimus (who commanded INSANE prices especially given that was around the exact same time the Fansproject Rodimus Prime armor came out) and a Universe 2008 Cyclonus who is a great figure in his own right.

 

The Matrix is a minor improvement, but it looks like it's going to be just as annoying for figures to hold as the original ones, the handles still look too small.

Otherwise, the accessories at least look good. I really hope the figure itself is, because everything below the waist looking to be the same as ER is kinda disappointing. I hope a 3P brings out a new set of legs for him, he's just looked too lanky in stock images so far.

 

Oh yeah I forgot about Big Convoy. I had him too!
