Crimson Jack's first appearance was in 1977, so he's one of those characters that's been around since practically the beginning, and has even showed up in modern comics. He was originally an antagonist for Han Solo.
However this guy is also Captain Silva and Jarod Na Nod, thats three different...
So its interesting that Jude's character seems to have the moniker of Crimson Jack; since that's been a reoccurring Pirate character from the comics dating all the way back to the old Marvel comics. I wonder if its supposed to be him, or if we have a Dread Pirate Roberts situation.
Sudden random throught: Does it though? Optimus might be the reincaration of Nobody Prime. All the others are known to be someone or something. Not 13. No definining traits, no defining artifact, no known tribe, etc. "He exists" is about all there is to him. If he's somebody, its becuase of his...
Hell, I have a freind that missed out on Combiner Wars becuase he wasnt actively collecting at the time and one of the things he kept telling me for years was he wanted them to do a new Superion... He didn't want "Menasor remold" which is how he sees the whole "frame" connecting idea.
Right now, with the blue sphere with the Arisen symbol on it; which I know is supposed to be the Zodiac, but my mind is thinking more long the lines of Optimal Optimus; This is Optimus after merging with 13th's spark. The Star designation being due to 13's symbol being star-like.
I wish the colors on the new one were a bit darker, but I do like that they kinda homaged the TR version by keeping the tread legs; technically they're there on the g1 toy but not as the entire "boot". I'm basically gonna have them be Pre-Earth and Post-Earth bodies.
