Funny thing is I bought Missing Link... and I also want this? I donno... I've got sort of a growing "Optimus" shelf aside from ER Prime with the rest of my collection. So more neat Optimi that won't fit anywhere else is welcome.
I got that 'Log into Instagram' message at the bottom of the page and the video wouldn't play unless I logged into Shitstagram.

I tested it in Windows 11 and Linux. Video plays and I don't even have to close the log in message first.
Then IDK what the hug is going on on my end.
A rare toy is still a toy.
Is that Skylynx's cousin, twice removed?
I tried it on a similar setup. Video plays.
Jtprime17 hit us with one last set of revelations, sadly they're about what we're NOT getting, namely the Core Class has indeed not been solicited as part of the line next year and apparently wasn't selling the way Hasbro wanted.

Core class disappearing? + Earthspark Replacement
I know the writing was on the wall. I just wanted to clear some things up with what I know. You can take this as you will, but anyways. I have seen...

Kinda bummed we never got an Arcee or Wheeljack; and the lack of a Prowl/Bluestreak/Red Alert/ETC. mold is kind of surprising.
I feel like the smaller price point figures, while I am a fan of them, are kind of a lost cause at this point because of the pricing. It's just too much money for the size of the figures and I know there are reasons for all that but when you're looking at the figures on the pegs at the store, you're not thinking about that, you're thinking like 'Wow that is $12 and it's so small, that ain't worth it'.
The character selection is questionable. If they’re not smaller versions of big guys who also happen to have better/bigger toys on shelves simultaneously, they’re absolute fodder nobodies. And that was before they flooded the size class with the core dinobots who mostly look very similar.
The Core Dinobots were a mistake. That was six slots spent on bots I was incentivized not to buy because I wanted to wait for the deco they were obviously designed for. I guess they assumed the Dinobots' popularity would be enough, but they just aren't that good as individual toys or as a combined bot, and seeing Dinobots other than Grimlock isn't a surprise or a novelty anymore. The only point here was Dinoking, and they haven't offered to sell me that yet.
The resulting Dinoforce would also be heavily compromised by the inclusion of the Dinobot designs.
That Optimus isn't perfect, but I guess it's close enough, even without the trailer.
Now, if only Amazon.ca would list him already...
They're not listing Studio Series Steeljaw, either, and Amazon.com is saying they can't ship to me... OR a friend of mine in the States. WTF? Are they just keeping them all?
(Yeah, yeah, wrong thread, but I don't feel like unearthing the other one just to gripe.)
Anyway, as I said on Instagram: Wow, a classic Optimus Prime who transforms like a classic Optimus should. No fake chest, no rotating everything around backwards, no fake grill abs... love it!
Not that I hate the other transformations, but a lot of the time -- particularly for those emulating the OG G1 -- they seem to take a much longer route to wind up in what's essentially the same place.

Both are listed as out of stock on .ca, so I think they're just not showing up as a result.
Walmart has preorders for Prime, still, if you want to get one in somewhere
The Core Dinobots might've been more novel if they hadn't just done PotP Volcanicus and were currently still doing the Studio Series team. They felt superfluous now. Maybe if they'd gone for Monstructor or Dinoking first.
