Googling suggests it's a third party Overdrive by X-Transbots, limited yellow colorway.

It works until you have to say it out loud, like they would in one of these shows. Unless it follows the same syllabic stress as Elita, as in E-REE-al. Ultimately I don't think it's really worth the effort at this point, since they've gone multiple series with her just being Elita so that...

Yeah, like it illustrates Bee's silly but shallow humor, and that IS the joke... But it's also a joke you put in a trailer that's the first indication of what your movie's humor (among other things) will be like. The follow-up deep voice bit is the same joke again, in multiple ways (it's saying...

Took a break from drowning in work and other work, and saw this was live, so checked it out. I'm glad everyone is high on this, because at least my lone flat opinion won't skew the overall vibe as much. I'm... Mostly shrugging at it. As a trailer it's fairly standard, having the usual...

I have wanted to like these, especially with the great robot modes and that lovely color scheme on Shard. But something about the aesthetic is keeping me from enjoying it. For Shard in particular, it might be how uniform the shards are in size and pattern. Robot mode limbs look like stacked...

I don't dispute any of that. And I do respect the amount of thougt that goes into considering so many narrative elements and factors; this amounts to literary analysis and that's fun in itself. I'm just a bit weary of the walls of "was this too long for the TFWiki notes section" material. But i...

Please don't take this as an indication that this is unwelcome here, but... Have you considered a blog

Well, nothing says they have to be non-transforming. Even the POTP ones transformed. I'm thinking something like a Legacy Skullgrin situation, more transforming Pretender shells. But swap out Skullgrin and Bomb-Burst for other Pretenders.

Be hilarious and kinda cool if these were still Pretender stand-ins, just at main price points.

Mostly this. I'm intrigued by the mold, but I still have oversaturation fatigue from the original so I'm waiting for that or any redeco. The same (minus the mold fatigue) is true of Bludgeon; I'm waiting to see if the supposed Mayhem release is better than the existing one.

Awesome.

Among other things. Like, PMOP seems like a straightforward slam dunk, and there have been two CHUG budget attempts at modernizing the concept between TR and POTP, and the later POTP take even has a transforming standalone robot out of the cab. The results here have been less than stellar due to...

I think a Godbomber is very likely.

The fact that this may exist before a G2 Go-Bot Optimus Prime homage from either WFC Sideswipe mold is kind of wild.

I mean hey, it's just not for me. If it checks those boxes on your list, absolutely get it and enjoy it, I'll get out of your way. It's just one of those tradeoffs, a design choice that doesn't appeal to me. But yeah, Soundwave is an encouraging sign that there are pairings where that is less...

I love that this is a thing we can refer to now. 40 years in, still some surprises.

Totally get that. The size making them difficult to enjoy alongside the regular stuff is one factor, but just as much of one is that the crossover could be more effectively reflected in the design. Soundwave manages this the best mainly because of the color matching, but Megatron really...

I just love how random this all is. Not having this Crosshairs yet (I'm fine with the TLK mold, and the fact that that's alao just been in storage all this time doesn't bode well for chasing down new versions of the character) I might try and get this instead.

This one's an unexpected 40th anniversary collab. Winter 2024 release, collaboration with Bingo Sports -- a moveverse-styled Corvette C7 Optimus Prime retooled from Studio Series Crosshairs. Now we can REALLY have a race.

Didn't get to try Siege until the spoiler pack Nemesis Prime, but I agree the limb proportions are generally much better.
