If I did have any one nitpick to make about this set, it's that I was hoping it would be smaller. The original was pretty heavy, even without the batteries. And it towered over so many other figures in the line. In the show, the Autobot Brothers each came up to Optimus's torso, while their toys...

Not even with your tax refund? It is tax time now, after all. A thought just crossed my mind. Maybe they're saving Primus for the 50th anniversary. I mean, had they done Primus now, what would be more special for them to do for the 50th?

Why Hasbro didn't simply shape the windshield like this from the get-go is baffling. It not only looks so much better, but so much simpler and elegant since it doesn't have to break apart like the official one does.

I just wish I could find Snarl. Saw him once at a GameStop, didn't have the money for him at the time, and have never seen him again.

The whole set looks really impressive, especially the fact that Blue Bolts was turned into a full-blown Weaponizer like Cog, Sixgun, Slammer, and Fasttrack were. That's awesome. And the Matrix Blade being an all-new mold when they could have easily retooled TR Fortress Maximus's Master Sword...

This thread has come full circle. ;)

For the first time ever, Big Convoy is actually true to his name.

Greg Weisman has a few particular opinions about the inclusion of Josh Keaton's Spectacular Spider-Man in this movie:

First look at the Wheeljack that comes in this Selects 5-pack:

Pincher is a black and gold falcon?

And such compromises shouldn't have even had to exist considering all the Beast Wars characters got to keep their aesthetic, which is completely different from that of G1 and the Unicron Trilogy. If anything, Beast Wars's aesthetic is much closer to that of Prime than any others.

It was going to be a SS86 Grimlock retool.

Something that might get me to fund a new Omega Prime would be if it were actually a bit smaller than the original, so that the combined form wouldn't end up towering as much over the other three combiners of the original line.

Not mine. :giggle:

The designer notes given above literally say what led to this toy's creation.
