Some fucker at Bandai really wanted to push Rock Lords considering they were also in some random French cartoon as well.

This thing screams mediocrity in every aspect. I might pick up Bumblebee and call it quits. It's like the designers had to figure out how to get that chonk within the current budget and rushed everything else.

It really is. Compared to the old Generations deluxe, it accomplishes a lot more with less moving parts and looks a lot more user-friendly to boot. It just could have used a few more parts to cover up the fists, clean up the shoulder stalks or to fold up the bumper in robot mode. The axe being able to transform between Optimus' axe and the generic axe used by other truck bots is also a neat touch but i dunno, those were parts probably better used on the main robot.

Hollowness doesn't usually bother me but this toy has so much of it in so many places.

I like how this looks but being less Optimus is kinda a negative now that I bought the corresponding Megatron. Also, the gasmask has to partsform with no dedicated spot to place it in.

It's a neat design but how many versions have they made at this point?

Optimus colors and jungle camo for the Rolling Thunder version and jungle, tundra and desert camo for the ICBM version with a limited run (horrible) Monkey King colors too. The ice and desert versions came with retooled vehicle mode parts, gun, head and missile head that were sold as a separate kit for the jungle variant which I decided to buy because it was like $20.

They teased a CAD of a heavily retooled Nova Prime version but no news on that one.

I like the functionality of the new parts but they strike me as grossly oversize for regular play/posing. Ah well, $20 was okay for the option.

It is insane how fast they jumped from Bumblebee to this. Paramount's leadership is worse than Warner Bros.
