I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but does anyone know if the Generations Jetfire is still going to include both large guns, or is it just going to be released with one?
Why do people not understand that the new design for Optimus, in order to be a toy that can transform, HAS TO BE A FOOPIN' SHELLFORMER!! Look at the design. See any truck parts THAT ARE NOT THE SMOKESTACKS??? You don't. So, in order for him to be able to transform, he needs to be a shellformer. A small compromise so he can still transform
Do you think Generation toys and AOE toys will be in the same packing boxes since they are the same highlight?
Yeah everything's going to have the same branding form now on. The only difference is the AOE stuff will have the movie logo in the corner like we've seen, plus Generations products will have the 'Generations Collector's Series' sticker. I suppose the non-movie Gen figures may have a 30th Anniversary logo on the box instead of the AOE logo. The MP Grimlock packaging has the new unified branding on it.
Then should I still get a Leader Class Optimus Prime or First Edition Optimus Prime?
Get the Leader, it's better (and will be cheaper) than the First Edition. Ignore what the others are saying, it is a leader class, and the Evasion Mode is a Voyager class.
I was talking to some customers at toysrus about this year being Dinobot themed toys. But one of them got really mad when I told him about a Grimlock Mr. Potatohead.
I was asking if I should buy one or the other just to have a bigger AOE new truck Optimus in my Autobot team.
I guess that depends if you like the bot mode, if that doesn't matter… I'd buy the First Edition or wait until it gets released as a mainline Leader, it should be cheaper without the chrome….
I don't think there will be one, seeing as releasing the figures as part of Generations is going to make things a bit different than before, I'm even surprised Grimlock has 2 figures. I'd wait till the cyberverse comes out (there were listings for legion class) so you could at lest have a token figure to ride your Grimlock
Then should I still get a Leader Class Optimus Prime or First Edition Optimus Prime?
The one-steps are bad with a capitol B, but I'm liking a vast majority of the new figs, even the constructobots, which up until now i've been lukewarm to.
question: is that giant grimlock an ultimate/supreme class? Looks different than the leader pics…more beefy.
Verdict;
If the alt-mode ends up being a mistransformation then it might be worth buying – but if not then wait till its a lot cheaper in price. Don't buy this thing for any more than voyager price.
From the front this pile of trash may look interesting or even cool – but don't be fooled as a quick look from the side reveals that this is a shell-former with the entire lower vehicle segment on his back
Verdict;
If your going to buy an TF;AOE Optimus Prime then you should probably go with the evasion mode Optimus Prime which will be worth more in the long-run and will likely be more fun to play with due to its G1 vehicle mode.
Verdict;
Probably your best Leader Class Optimus Prime figure for you to buy from Tf;AOE – however I'd wait for the inevitable movie-accurate repaint as this version lacks detail.

May add to this later.

Not really a small compromise considering it is the entire figure's design.
And not the consumer's problem they went with a poor robot design in the first place.

I think people are getting confused. Evasion Mode Prime is a voyager, the other Optimus figure is a leader.

I saw in pics it's a helmet, not a separate head….? Looked like it slid over the regular head, just like the Classics version did.

The First Edition isn't a Generations, but it is a Leader Class. There are only two Generations Leader Class, and Prime isn't one.

Sky-Byte's shark mode look pretty cool,it look as if it is really swimming.
Probe
It is. There are only 2 leaders.

If you're talking about all of the ones meant for kids, yes. If you're talking about Generations…

I just feel that the Age of Extinction line isn't for adults but it's for kids.
