That's an awesome picture.

I think the re-colors of CW is not even close to be being done. After all, we haven't even gotten to all of the shattered glass and diaclone homages yet.....

 

You know, no one is forcing you to buy those toys. I don't have every remold in that picture.

 

He looks pretty good, like Fireguts Astrotrain. I'm saving my money for Takara Astrotrain, I think.

 

I did a few pics of this:

 

Yeah, that looks better! If I can find him, I definitely doing this!

 

I wonder if 3rd party makers will do the Megatron: Origins Apex Armor.

 

Really tempted to buy two for matching gun pairs  

 

I am in love with this Prime. The face sculpt is so good. Poseablitiy is great. He's just fun and awesome. Wish all of the the train wheels were painted, and such, but I am going to work some magic with a Gundam marker.

Great figure !!

 

Oh boy I hope so. I would be right there.

 

Not buying until I see what Takara does with him. I hope they don't repaint him in DOTM or Animated Sentinel Prime colors.

 

I know some people hate repaints, but I'm weird and I actually dig repaints. Toss in the Headmasters gimmick is going to make head swaps at home the easiest thing ever and repaints start getting even more tempting.

But I hope that Hasbro does something like a DOTM or Animated repaint rather than Takara.

Ha ha, and people have me paranoid that if I skip this figure there will be one or two paint apps easily done at home that will really make the figure pop.

 

Honestly I can't see Takara do a Sentinel Prime for the Legends line at all and it's due to Sentinel not having much to do in the original G1 universe. The Legends line mostly consists of characters from the many TF shows from past eras and Sentinel never had much of a role in the G1 show especially when compared to Astrotrain. If they do one I'll eat my words but still I'm expecting them to use the Sentinel head for another character.

 

Does the Prime (or Convoy) lineage exist in Japan like it does in American fiction?

 

No, only what was shown in Five Faces of Darkness AFAIK. Sentinel Prime was entirely a creation of Simon Furman for a strip in the UK comics annual, and then a reference in Matrix Quest (which set up the lineage used in the IDW comics much later too), "We are Prima... we are Nova... we are Sentinel... we are Optimus... we are THUNDERWING!"

Sentinel didn't exist in Japan until Animated and DOTM, though those drew their inspiration from the comics, especially DOTM.

 

After seeing this oh so orange Sentinel Prime, he suddenly reminds of this =
