    Although nice, will this be popular now that the Titans return Optumus Prime/Octane mold is coming out?

    Man, like only if people prefer an ugly mess over this guy.

    Heck we have Striker Manus coming next month too, and the two IDW Optimus' on the horizon. If people want a really nice modern prime their are way way better alternatives than the really crappy looking tr figure.

    I love this.

    It's been getting love the whole time. The push is for a two pack to get sold. Duke is simply the one that had pics shown and an extemdes hashtag rolls off worse.

    I don't even like the color scheme on this prime, but preordered at TCP to support MT. Give me Duke, Dagger, then a Nemesis Re-release in this order. JaMon Maketoys, I am waiting to give you my money, so why is it taking you guys so long to take it.

    When you say "work with the Original Battle Tanker"... What are you referring to? The only thing that changed is the base figure. Outside of the shoulder add-ons for Laser Prime, everything else is the same.

    The sword holster is the only thing different. The o.g. Tanker didn't have the shoulder pieces or chest like the botcon sg versions did.

    I mean is if I buy just Gento, can I armor up Gento fully with the MT-01 Battle Tanker or do I need to buy the MT-05 set? In reviews people have said there are some different tabs. Also on maketoys website it says Gento is compatible with MT-02 but does not mention MT-01. I went back like 15 pages or so on this thread and the only answer to my same question was a link to the website, which does not mention it. I know it seems like a stupid question, but I just want to make sure before spending money.

    I am sorry, but I don't understand your opinion. I have the original battle tanker with Takara Optimus Prime. It was a bit of a hot mess to combine all the things together into the tanker/robot battle platform..."thing". Also, it's rather small compared to other third party and official Optimus Prime figures. Looking at the upcoming TR Optimus Prime/Octane, it looks to be a fairly large, solid mold, plus it's cheaper. I am sure Takara will make it even better.

    Also, as you said, there are even better third party Op Primes coming out, like the maketoys version, which requires no fiddling around with a slighty parts-forming trailer (itself fiddly), so why would someone bother with this mold now?

    Here is a comparrison in the attached pic:

    I agree with Lazy. I don't see a better Laser Prime option. The tr one may be large, but the design is an unpleasing, blocky mess for me and the hollowness is blatant. It honestly looks like a KO toy to me.

    So larger and cheaper = better? Sorry to disagree, but that looks bad compared to even the official laser Optimus.

    People should be fully aware by now that bigger and less expensive doesn't always mean it's better.

    I don't think TT could fix that piece of shit. It's actually insulting to compare that to MTs Battle Sentinel.
