I've never actually read Beast Wars Reborn. I just knew who Logos Prime was because 1) I wanted the toy as a counterpart to Cybertron Soundwave and 2) as I alluded to earlier, I've always been into the lore/backstory aspects. Previous Matrix barers is still an aspect of the franchise I'm into...

It just floors me that Hasbro's brand team will make super deep cuts one moment and then go "what is this we've never heard of it" the next. A good one at that! Well an ok one. The Cybertron Soundwave mould was very conceptually cool but lacking in execution. Looks wicked in the Soundblaster...

Odd.

Hasbro didn't?

There are model kits, of the non-transforming variety done by licensed third party companies. And Hasbro seems content to leave the model making to them. And it's all for the better. People with experience have explained by transforming model kits wouldn't work unless you're talking something...

Regardless, I don't think RotF had any real barring on Optimus being made the Thirteenth. We know from the Binder of Revelations that this wasn't the original plan, with Optimus specifically said to count both Prima and Alpha Trion as ancestors, which doesn't work if he's their brother. Clearly...

Mark's IG lore dumps? https://www.instagram.com/p/DDYFD0uxHq_/?igsh=MWluMGJzbmQwa2lkYw== Armada Red Alert being descended from Prima is new but fitting I think.

DotM prequel comics establish that the "Seven" members of the Dynasty of Primes that the Fallen was a part of were all (thought) to be dead. Sentinel was "the last descendent" of the Primes but he suspected there was one other and found a young Optimus and recognized he was likewise a Prime...

I remember when I first saw Cybertron.... I figured Vector Prime must be one of Optimus' distant predecessors as Prime/Matrix barer who got involved in modern day events due to time travel shenanigans. I was actually excited because back then the roster of pre-Optimus Matrix barers was slim. You...

The script idea that became Possession involved the spirit of a G1 Autobot possessing a member of the BW cast. They tweaked the idea to Starscream because Starscream canonically had a history of possessing other characters and, more importantly, they had a character model ready to go from The...

Was that Starscream as a ghost though? It looks like Starscream is flying through Cybertron in that scene and I just assumed Cheetor was dreaming about something he watched or read once about the Great War. I mean Cheetor's dream doesn't even take place in the same episode that ghost Starscream...

IDW established that Space Fascist Nova Prime was a legit Matrix bearer so the precedent's already there for less than upstanding individuals to hold it. This gets into a wider annoyance with the Thirteen in that they made them all Primes. I donno. I'm Jewish. The idea of 12-13 ancient tribal...

I don't think so. He was packaged in jet mode though, and looked cool and I'll cherish that short time we had forever because he's never going back 😆

He seems to be holding up rather well after a few hours but this much clear plastic will always put me on edge.

He was scarier to transform then my G1 Thunderclash. He looks so cool but I'm never putting him back into jet mode 😅

I don't think anyone is acting like it's a slap in the face or anything. The decision to make Optimus the Thirteenth has never been popular, and this toyline is specifically referencing it, so of course it's gonna come up again.

Ultimately, yeah. I really dislike the idea of Optimus as the Thirteenth but I'm really digging this new Star Convoy and will probably make it my first Titan. I can just toss the Jewish Christmas ornament he comes with to PRiD Ultra Magnus who I'm repurposing as Zeta Prime to make him my...

I missed that entirely 🤯
