I guess hot off the Unicron trilogy, they felt they needed some kind of line-wide gimmick. Might also be an attempt to emulate season 1’s more common use of snappy stock footage transformations compared to later seasons.

If there is a Murphy’s law, we can postulate that the opposite is also true.

I don't know if I hate Blitzwing or the seeker mold more. Blitzwing had great potential scuppered by terrible QC while the Seeker has terrible proportions all in the service of from what I can tell, the retracting cockpit.

In truth, the only thing he is capable of evolving into is a pile of disembodied body parts. And a hook.

Like the look, love the sword but too bad it's that awkward sort-of-Legends scale that 3Ps really like making. Also, opened up big Primal. Thing's hugging massive but haven't had much time to mess around with it aside from checking the electronics and general build. I guess painting the mouth...

The head is the opposite of Goldilocks zone. Either make it more G1 or more Animated, not this weird in-between thing. And yeah, the smirk looks pretty bad. It's just a line, which works for Animated but with the more G1-ish look, more defined mouth would probably look less out of place. I...

I mean, I'd probably buy it when it comes out since the first part was good but I'm not hyped about FF7 anymore, if that makes any sense.

Steelbane gets floppy just standing around and i have to periodically retighten the balljoints. Must be the particular plastic they used on a lot of him. 1. yes, Dinobots being Dinobots is kind of important. 2. Hasbro does. 3. Hasbro does. 4. Hasbro hasn’t been as keen on mold reuse as prime...

Their Nova Prime had a rough development from what the release date and general half-bakedness of the mold tell us. I can’t think of a bigger way to miss the point of Studio Series than: 1. Dinobots in designs they never had in-game 2. At an undersized scale 3. Making non-dinosaur Dinobots when...

They did another Menasor just because CW Menasor was so bad. I can see them making another Devastator that's less gigantic a few years down the line. They'll also be out of relevant character in a couple of lines. If they intend to keep making game toys, they'll have to start stepping on 3P...

wonder if they’ll get around to FOC Dinobots or Bruticus or if the game subseries is just a filler thing.

The pink truck window and the pattern on the pecs say it’s supposed to be Scourge though the homage is a bit weak given the base mold’s lack of particularly scourgey details.

Not enthused by the Nemesis Prime colors but I wouldn't hate it if it was the version I end up with. I've grown to dislike white plastic over the past few years and it's a really nice albeit overused color scheme. I don't know why Optimus usually tugging around a big box doesn't wow me but this...

The core bot is a solid, simple design that looks great and has enough articulation to do Ginyu Force poses and that plays up the modularity aspect to its maximum, I don't mind them getting use out of it, though I wish they’d release something about their Night Raven seeker or Hungrr. That said...

Oh wow, it's straight up a Diaclone reboot toy. Except not costing a mortgage or two.

Given how they engineered a flight mode that isn’t just Optimus playing Superman, tabs on the sides of the wheel to go into the slots in his palms he uses to hold his gun would have been quick enough to do.

It does improve on all four modes aesthetically. Transformation didn't need to be particularly complex but eh. Also a nitpick but while OpOp always had a truck mode that was the robot mode using an exercise wheel, this one's hands don't peg in anywhere and just float in the approximate area to...

I bought a knockoff of Perfect Effect's Optimal Optimus. I sold off the original but you know what, for $60, various merchant coupons, a tiny ape minion and in black, I'll bite.

I like it except for the big decepticon symbols on the tank mode and to a lesser extent, robot mode. I'd prefer these sort of crossover things to be their own thing rather than shoehorned into the factions and it's harder to ignore when they take up half the altmode. Might wait for a sale or...

Executive meddling sucks because it tends to create bland, inoffensive product. Of course it would be an improvement in the case of the movies.
