    The autobot symbol picture looks like a computer render while the decepticon symbol picture looks like photography of the actual figure.

    Also, both figures show a dirty yellow on the nosecone, thighs, and legs--- i hope that is not his "battle damage". It just looks like grime and somebody with dirty hands mishandled him.

    My money is on
    1) it's deliberate, and that's somehow connected to how the faction symbol rotates
    2) it's an early render, or
    3) like all Hasbro stock photos, the top one is mistransformed.

    The render is mistransformed, notice the cockpit section is raised more past the pecs because it can’t fold in place all the way because the nosecone is still in the vehicle mode position

    Question

    Classics Optimus, never owned one but I'm told it has a peghole to attach a trailer to despite HasTak never actually making one, which opened the floodgates for third party companies to release their own trailers for it.

    It SEEMS like Siege Optimus has the same deal? or am I seeing things that aren't there?

    Classics didn’t have a peg hole, but there was a protrusion that third party companies used as a hitch.

    Siege Prime does have a peg hole though. Not sure what existing trailer would work with it without an adapter though. The BTS trailer had an add-on set with some 5mm port adapters that works actually very well with Siege Prime - once you get the adapters properly attached to the trailer. They are a little finicky.

    Ah, my mistake.

    That is neat though. Would be nice to try the BTS Trailer set if it were still possible to actually get one

    I tried looking for a normal silver BTS one. They're hard to find now and out of production probably. I've been looking for other types of trailers that might work but haven't seen anything else work yet.

    Yeah i really hope they get rid of the grime or dirt thats on his feet and crotch since it doesnt look good at all, looks like somebody ate cheetos and then played with it. If hasbro is going to add battle damage paint on their figures it better look right if we are paying 80-90$ for him. I personally wont buy it if this is what the battle damage looks like, doesnt look good at all.

    Well, damn. I brought home a Siege Optimus and he’s delightful. Want to mess around and see if Cog can turn into a battle trailer for him.

    I have two Cogs, definitely worth it.
    I think you may have responded to the wrong person.

    I think they used multiple Cog's though. Unless I'm thinking of a different post.
