Thus proving that "has been described as" is not commutative, since the Braves have definitely been described as cultural appropriation.Which would be the first time cultural appropriation has ever been described as "brave".

What IS news is that the Prime costume is shown with a matrix that specifically listed as "Sold seperately." Someone tracked it down on the manufacturers website.
So finally, after 40 damn years, Transformers One has finally delivered on something I've wanted for ages.
Matrix of Leadership
Light-up accessory with 3 LR44 (AG13) button cell batteries. Measures: 10" x 6.4" x 5".disguise.com
Definitely looks like cheap plastic, but until Hasbro decides to do their a Studio Series matrix, this will have to do.
What's even worse: Pulse has it labelled a "Leader Class" toy.Preorders are up for Brave Commander Optimus Prime…and it’s $80?! EIGHTY?!
I’m sorry, but I don’t “see” $80 worth of toy there. It’s nice, but not THAT nice. Certainly not compared to the joys found in Leader Optimus Primal.
I kind of wonder if, knowing this will get imported by Hasbro, TakaraTomy didn’t skew this offering a little “older” than Primal. Articulated fingers, seemingly a good bit of paint, unobtrusive gimmicks…it doesn’t feel as much of a compelling toy and more of a “quick/cheap collector item”.
In and of itself, that doesn’t mean much. Hasbro has listed other, oddball, imports as “Leader class” to denote larger or pricier items in the past. And the figure will be of comparable size to most Leader figures, which is an easy “catch all” term to differentiate it from the myriad of other Orion Pax/Optimus Prime toys that will be available this fall. They did the same with Beast Awakening Optimus Primal last year.What's even worse: Pulse has it labelled a "Leader Class" toy.

I feel like I'm Hot Rod because it seems like nobody else notices the Matrix has finger holes you're supposed to use.
It might be cheap kid's Halloween costume level of construction, but it still looks pretty dang good. And I'm guessing that the price will actually be pretty reasonable if it's intended function is to be used once as part of a costume.

They've even used the "Masterpiece" label for Takara items that are definitely not MPs.In and of itself, that doesn’t mean much. Hasbro has listed other, oddball, imports as “Leader class” to denote larger or pricier items in the past.
He didn't actually open it when he became Rodimus. It just glowed when he grabbed onto it and its light turned him into Rodimus without opening up. He only first opened it to destroy Unicron afterward.Hot Rod technically opens it without the finger holes at first; it's not until after he gets upgraded, defeats galvatron and picks the matrix back up that he puts his fingers in the holes.
I'd wager most non-fans/general audiences know Transformers from the G1 Sunbow show first, the live action movies second, and the G1 Marvel comics a distant third.

Yeah - none of those were toys.If this was a response to Dake, how many of those were toys or meant for kids?
If this is a response to Blot, well, carry on.
