The top of my aquarium makes a decent stage NGL.

I bet the fish are wondering "What are those things above us, are they gods?"
It’d beat the time i dunked Tidal Wave’s boats in there.
They are not, no. But they're also kinda sticky and its very fragile plastic so I keep them that way so I don't accidentally break him.
Note to self: Never invite Optimus Prime over for Taco Tuesday.
Ah, I see.
Take more pictures, anyway.
The more I play with Prime, the more I'm absolutely adoring this figure. This really feels like everything I could ever have wanted from a mainline '84 Optimus.
To me, there's no way that Hasbro could really improve on this without being iterative at this point.
Stop making me want that! I've told myself that ER Optimus is fine!
I think ER Optimus will live on in my collection as a more toy-etic version of Prime (in hindsight, I kinda wish it got the yellow eyes as seen in the original stock images).
That mold is too good to just part with!
A darker shade of red would be nice improvement, or something to make the details actually pop out more, I just don't really feel this figure which is why I passed on him, something just feels off and I can't quite put my finger on it, but then I have been looking at the Earthrise mold, pretty much every day as he armoured up, well the Netflix verison and I see him as I walk into the room and power up my PC, besides, I think I'm hitting the point where "Do we really need another G1 Optimus?" I kind of feel its time for the other Optimus primes to shine or at least give OP a serious break for a while and focus on other characters, but then I might simply be nitpicking here!
It's funny. For me, Prime is the shade of red that I wish Earthrise was. The vibrancy really does it for me. But, of course, it's always subjective!
I don't blame anyone that's happy with Earthrise wanting to stick with it! I've always had nitpicks with the design, but I will always remember being blown away when I transformed it for the first time. Felt like witchcraft. I still prefer the transformation of it over SS86 (though I'm still learning the flow of it, too). But, yeah, it's a good toy in its own right!
I would have been more impressed with Earthrise Prime if they'd kept the leg transformation from Siege Prime. Not that he isn't really good as it is, but that would have made him near perfect.
The thing that impresses me most about Commander Optimus is how uniform the red is on him. It's a subtle thing but when somebody like Ironhide has like three or four distinct shades of red on him, Optimus being entirely candy apple red stands out.
Design team really went all out on him.

I like how it's basically the MP-44 just not hundreds of dollars
I really wouldn't have minded having a Buzzsaw, but I sure as sugar wasn't gonna buy everything else again to get it.
That's a great group shot, though!
