    Oh absolutely. We'll probably start seeing more Bee Movie based designs as we get into 2020.

    Idgaf about another reuse of G1 prime. I already have SS Prime, but that's awesome.

    SS38 in retro box is very tempting. Release him in the white Magnus and they'll get my money!

    Title should be changed to reflect that it's a boxset including both G1 Prime and SS-38, in original G1 style packaging. First Japanese release of a trailer-less Convoy.

    This is a great idea but they’re not even gonna give ss38 some more paint or something? These are both available now separately and have been for a while...

    This is rad i want that G1 Prime for my MISB Encore collection. I think.the BB Optimus Prime is just a more accurate version of what it is minus the metallic silver.

    @Black Convoy the colors are more screen accurate, not G1 based. :)

    I wonder if this is why Hasbro didn't invest in the trailer for the G1 reissue of Prime.

    Anyhow, this is a very nice set. Not something I need, though.

    That's neat, but I kind of would have loved to have a G1 Prime included with MP-44 and have the G1 packaging, I realize that would be much more expensive though.

    Oh good call, I thought they were more G1 accurate when I looked at the box art compared to the G1 art.

    Love the G1 packaging and artwork for Studio Series Prime but this is a definite pass, especially for $100. Maybe I’d be more interested if there was a new trailer included that worked with SS38.

    Correct me please if I understood this incorrectly, I think here it says it's G1 based/inspired. My Japanese is very basic and I just support it with google translate:

    オプティマスプライム　商品イメージ

    オプティマスプライムは腹部のカラーリングや肩のエンブレムなど、G1玩具をベースに仕様が変更された特別版となっている。
