Well, aligned Prima isn't really an Optimus Prime arch-type, what with him basically being the party's uptight rules paladin.

The problem with Hot Rod in the film is that the movie isn't that well written, so instead of, you know, SHOOTING MEGATRON with those arm blasters he has, he had to interfer in a way that gets Prime killed. Like, what if Megatron shot Prime BEFORE Hot Rod got there and it was Hot Rod's...

Did we ever find out if Hasbro was indeed retiring the "Generations" branding with Age of the Primes?

I hated the twist when I first saw it, but I love it now. I had such a wave of confusion when it was first revealed and it's rare to get that strong of a emotional reaction from a superhero movie. The twist of making the "Mandarin" such a blatantly artificial character - He's middle...

Okay, that little ghost trap mini-con is adorable and I want one.

Given how many people I see complaining about the price of that set, I'm not sure I agree. Especially since the numbers for the Haslab were actually improving before this news hit.

I wish they had just done Orion Pax and D-16 (post cogs) for the deluxes and then done Optimus and Megatron at voyager scale.

Hasbro gave up on the Early Bird special. Everyone gets Tully if it funds!

My head canon is he starts off as Orion Pax, dock worker, like in the toon. Gets blown up by Megatron and rebuilt into Optronix by Alpha Trion (who doesn't have the matrix in my head canon.) who takes him under his wing as a data clerk (using his "Humble Origins" form.) Eventually, things get...

Yeah, but that's because they were lazy and didn't give them pre-earth names. (Outside of B-127 in the films) They went out of their way to give Prime a unique name that he would never use on earth and it's still loaded with Earth references.

It's not even the faux latin, it's that he shares the name of a bloody earth constellation millions of years before any human even walked the earth. :)

I like Optronix better, TBH.

My copy of the CW version sucked. Several figures can't hold up their guns, including Devastator himself and Bonecrusher's legs never went together well either.

Core Dinobots just got beaten with the budget stick. Had they been able to have just a little bit more articulation, clean up their propotions a tiny bit and include the better accessories from Dinoking, he'd be a rockin' little dude. As is, he's alright for what he is, but for a $72 combiner...

He was actually named Optronix in Dreamwave.

I was bummed we didn't get the arm mounted neutrona wands as a toy, but it's in the movie so little that I'm not surprised.

You said we were getting studio series figures "soon" and unfortunately that's not the case for all of them.

Studio Series Elita-1 isn't supposed to come out until Fall next year.

Depending on what day you ask me, I will no joke say Ghostbusters 2 is the superior film. The biggest knock I've seen against it is that it repeats a lot of the same beats as the first film, which okay it does, but it does them better. 1. Vigo is a bigger presence in the movie - Gozer was more...

Yeah, I guess the Ultra Pretenders are just an extension of the "combines with trailer into a super mode" aesthetic started with PM Optimus. Really it's the normal pretender "Transformer hiding in an action figure" that seem hard for Hasbro to pin down.
