    You sure it's brainpower and not just a bigger ego taking over. :D

    You are hoping it is an exclusive?

    I don’t like exclusives but at this point, I am hoping it’s real and not fake or an April Fools joke. We already got confirmation from Hasbro that POTP will only have 4 waves and we already know all figures in those 4 waves. However, Hasbro did say there will be exclusives and specials for POTP.

    Although I love that they gave the individual units robot modes, these two only truly shine together.

    IMO kinda a shame that we get Nemesis Prime and not a true SG Optimus to match Rodimus. Might've got the pair if this was indeed Grape Prime.

    Finally broke down and got Grimlock. A much better figure in hand than I expected, but I really want the PE parts to fix the proportions of his robot mode.

    And sadly.... most likely my last purchase ever at TRU.

    The Legends scale figures for this line are a lot of fun.

    Depends on who you ask. Not everyone thinks so. It's from a russian facebookpage.

    Same source as the photos of CW/PotP Wreck-gar. More likely than not, I suppose, but no official confirmation

    I'm torn on this - I, too, wanted SG Prime (and thinks it's unlikely we'll get multiple evil repaints of OP), but all the little touches on Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy are so cool. I also think, especially if we get a Nemesis Primal, that the new-headed evil black Primes will look really good together.

    I will give credit where it's due. PotP does a much better job of hiding the combiner pegs on the Deluxes than Combiner Wars ever did.

    I'll also give HasTak props for adding little unique molding touches to alot of the combiner pegs rather than having them all be exactly the same.

    So, I'll be honest with you all, the PotP line has been largely underwhelming for me. Rodimus was a bit interesting when first shown, though with my habitual dislike for the character I swore I'd only get a repaint (which Hasbro delivered!) and some of the Legends looked cool, but the only figures of the line that really made sit up and pay attention were the Duocons. I thought it was super cool that we were given a fantastic update to an intriguing G1 idea, but they were given additional robot modes as well. Now, yeah, some may argue that this throws out the nature of the Duocons and makes them little more than what we got in the Energon line, but I really like them a lot.
