That's the inevitable Selects version.
Toy Brawn’s deep pine green is far superior to cartoon brawn’s puke green anyway.
Hopefully Outback will get the same amount of remolding that Pipes did from Huffer.
I've decided to just keep on truckin' with my LG version, which I have loved for a long time now. He's tiny and simple, but he just works for me. The mold references his G1 model close enough for him to stand among my modern '84 bots, but he's ever so slightly updated, which is nice.
There are parts of the SS86 version (like his legs and feet) that just look too doofy for me to take the plunge on. He's got a huge noggin, seams that run the length of this legs, weird little hinges all over the place, and tiny, boxy feet that just don't look good, IMO. I do appreciate the amount of creativity and engineering that went into his transformation, but the end result is really uneven. Basically, I don't mind how he looks from the waist up. But I'm not swapping out my LG version to get another version that I only like half of, just because it's new.

And the only way he could resolve the story as the two that he got the idea from, were going to outlive him, he thought, it would be best that he had them die!
They both need a sammich
Dammit. I'm going to buy that Legends Optimus/Bumblebee set just to get that trailer, aren't I?
Love the new Junkions. Bludgeon looks good, though he could have used a bit more remolding to differentiate himself more from Tarn.
The Air Warrior looks a lot more lavender here, which I really like.

Bludgeon looks a lot cooler than I expected, I'll gladly take him as a replacement for whenever time inevitably ruins my RotF one.
Didn't get a chance to watch all of the stream. I did see Bludgeon and Optimus though. Bludgeon looks pretty good to me and I don't have have any modern representations of him, so will probably pick that up.
Is the Bumblebee that comes with that little Optimus w/trailer set the one that was released in the Buzzworthy line? It kind of looks like it. If so, that toy's a bit of a turd, IMO. And is this just Core Optimus (again) but with a trailer, or is it an all-new toy?

I believe that's the same old BB and the same old OP, just with a new hat*
*Actually a trailer.
So either, because they released the core toy, they should never ever ever release another version with a trailer? Or because there's no way to include a trailer in a $12 toy, they just should never have done an Optimus Prime in core class until now?
Also it's funny that this trailer is more feature complete than the one that came with ER Prime.
If the price isn't too ridiculous, I might. I don't need Optimus or Bumblebee, but I do like that trailer quite a bit. If the price is too unreasonable, though, I'll wait to see if I can get it some other way or on sale.
EDIT: Ah, it's $40. That's too high to justify for only wanting the trailer. I suppose I'll see if they release just Prime + Trailer or something later down the road.

That Core Pack is $40, so they apparently think the trailer, roller, the med drone and the axe constitutes a $16 value.
I might wait and see if it goes on sale.
