    I prefer this design as the live-action movie Prime. In fact, it's my favorite movie Prime design thus far. I guess we'll have to disagree.

    There's a shame, considering that the majority of the fandom, IMO, thinks that BB OP is the best, live action depiction ever, PRECISELY because it uses the original design of the ORIGINAL Optimus.

    But, welcome to the outspoken minority, I guess?

    That’s... not how opinions work? I’m sorry, are you saying people should be punished for not liking it? That’s... wrong on a lot of levels. Hell dude, I’m in love with this figure, but I don’t think people who don’t like it should be denied figures.

    I love it, but why it has to be a dang Target exclusive.
    I know I will get a back lashed on this, but I do really hate exclusives especially Target and Walmart. I undertsand some stores want to have exclusives to sale stuff.

    more the out right complaining or saying how Hasbro can't do their own intellectual property right when this shouldn't be a competition for them. I have much more to say but I feel and know this isn't the place for it. I get people don't like it, and that is fair. Just don't like how some are saying they don't like it really

    Oh, ok. There are some posts in this thread that are very rude and negative, and those definitely suck. But I mean, they have a right to complain. The IP part is a bit much I agree, but at the same time we can’t do anything about how they feel. Just use the ignore button and move on, I guess, that’s all we can do.

    I find it hilarious how Paramount couldn't manage to coordinate a CGI-Design and it's respective car prop and you lot are blaming it on the toy that gets it right.

    At first glance, the robot mode just doesn't really do anything for me. I know it's based on BB Optimus but it just looks almost too detailed in places (especially the face scuplt) but the truck mode looks decent enough. I really want to like it, but I just can't. But I'm not going to sit here and absolute bash it though and I'm glad it's there for people who do want it though. :)

    All things considered, what I mostly care about is whether or not this is a GOOD TOY. I can look past the kitty ears and inaccuracies if this is solidly built, fun to transform and holds together well in both modes. So far the only BB Movie Optimus toy Ive handled that fits those criteria is the oversized WeiJiang KO of the Studio Series figure, and that one is a little TOO oversized for me. This one looks to be the perfect size, so if it is fun and solid then I’ll be satisfied.

    Oh my, "fans" complaining? That's a 1st!

    Everybody should be happy...

    ...Realistic Prime based on G1 model for those who "hate" MP-44 for looking like Prime...

    ...Looks like an updated MP-10 for those who cling to MP-10 (and prefer the stylization). Gorilla arms and all...

    ...The best of Bayverse meets G1 for those in between...

    ...A 2nd, yet different MP Prime for Bayverse lovers...

    You can't go wrong with this one. They've combined MP-10, gimmicks from MP-44, Bay MP Prime, real world astectics, stylization, AND screen accuracy in one feel swoop. Some people are just never gonna be happy I guess. I wouldn't be surprised if HasTak learned to just start ignoring a majority of it.

    Nah, I am pretty sure HasTak only ignores fans whose opinion you dislike.

    Eh, it's alright. Will probably get him if I see him, but just another Prime so I ain't sweating it.
