If "G1 with knees" is wrong then I don't wanna be right.Upset enough to start crying "G1 with knees" like it was an insult.
My mistake. It's been a while since I had my hands on an original Cybertron Optimus.But on the original toy, the chest windows were actual vehicle mode windows, in that they folded out to the sides of the truck and became a pair of side windows instead of the windshield like on more traditional Optimus designs. So they weren't fake windows; they were just "different" windows.
Hell, they managed to do that with Laser Prime, a mold that came out nearly 30 years ago.I feel like Cybertron was far enough ahead (and close enough to present day) that any “update” is essentially going to be a more expensive, inferior version of the one that already exists.
Why does he have Cybertron Downshift's guns?Powerlink Hotshot will be available in Japan in March 2024, exclusively via the Takara Tomy Mall site here.

It's perfectly fine if you dig the character design and especially if you missed out on or no longer have the originalI feel like the only person who actually likes Galaxy Upgrade Optimus right now lol.
Mostly agree, but Override proves there are improvements to be made. Sure she lost her Cyber Key gimmick, but on the whole it's a better proportioned and poseable figure than the original. So I'm not against them taking cracks at Cybertron just to see what they can do. They might surprise us.I feel like Cybertron was far enough ahead (and close enough to present day) that any “update” is essentially going to be a more expensive, inferior version of the one that already exists.
The way the robot mode arms just sit there at the sides, bolted onto the side of the cab, and the slightly off proportions all around to accommodate the armour gimmick limit the standalone robot mode.When Cybertron was out, Burger King had tie-in toys. One was an Optimus cab that transformed like a traditional G1 Optimus Prime, with the front of the truck forming the front of the torso, only now all futuristic and angular.

"Oh man," I thought to myself. "That is kinda neat. It would be great if that was done with a full-featured figure."
Years later, they did just that with Galaxy Upgrade OP, and somehow... it just didn't seem as cool as I always thought it would, and I'm not even sure why.

That's exactly why I like it, the OG Cybertron Optimus was the only UT Optimus toy I never got as a kid, so having some representation of his design now is likeIt's perfectly fine if you dig the character design and especially if you missed out on or no longer have the original
That seems to be happening more and more these days. While I certainly still support new figures for those who now can't easily get the old ones, if it isn't superior in some important way to the original (and I already have the original), I'm not going to buy the new toy and will be perfectly happy with my original.I feel like Cybertron was far enough ahead (and close enough to present day) that any “update” is essentially going to be a more expensive, inferior version of the one that already exists.
