    Hi guys,
    I got the OP / Roller version a few months ago and I really like it - I even got the Bot Shots OP trailer to go along with it (it even contains Roller :)  ).

    I saw the "previous" Legends version (the RTS one) in a new packaging (due to AOE probably, but showing the "G1" IDW OP), and I'm thinking about getting it too..

    Looking for recommendations, comparisons between the 2 versions, etc.

    thanks :)

    Honestly, they are both fine figures, but I think the Generations Legends release has a bit more value. He has some better paint and not to mention he does have the Roller Mini-Con and a standard rifle accessory. Legend/RTS Optimus does not have any accessory unless you find a variant red carded version from places like Dollar General that did come with a sword accessory.

    Roller was a big part of why I decided to buy the Generations Legends in the first place, and after adding the Bot Shots Trailer, I got me a G1-homage mini-Prime :)

    The RTS version is pretty cool especially if you grab the variant with the sword......but l get more enjoyment fiddling with the Generations version...

    That doesn't look too bad, RonG. I failed to mention this in my previous thread, but his feet sticking up in bot mode would be my only drawback on that Generations Prime w/ Roller since it would make it harder for him to be compatible with any other type of trailer. I keep hoping for maybe another release in the future with remolded foldable feet with a new trailer.

    Its actually that exact molding of the legs which allow him to move the Bot Shots trailer along :) 

    and as the Generations version is a "modern" rake on G1, I thought the trailer (which is modernized) would suit him :)
