it’s Optimus in a cheap Brave halloween costume. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world but nothing exceptional considering he’s got nothing special among Optimuses aside from connecting to dollar store Fighbird and a box in truck mode.

May as well make an entirely new toy at that point.

A local retailer put up preorders for a POTP Optimus Prime reissue. Not the toy from that line I'd pick to reissue but there's that for anybody who still needs an Optimus or Orion at this point.

Those are the same people who want gray Megatrons and Dinobots with yellow.

You’d think they’d just take a photo of the half-vehicle and a photo of the combined mode and save themselves the trouble.

Took a look at my Ironhide. I’d recommend filing or sanding down the tabs on the roof that connect into the windshield part and the tabs on the side windows that attach to his forearms in vehicle mode. The roof/shin parts undergo a lot of tension in vehicle mode and take an uncomfortable amount...

I won’t lie: clear plastic looks way better. At the new smaller scale though with more involved transformations, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. That said, if they do painted windows, pick a color that doesn’t look like crap

Which part broke?

Probably some intern picking a wiki image as their reference again. Or maybe a digibash from some fan forum.

I’d buy a solo Pathfinder if the blue’s nice enough. Not too keen on green Warpath who’s bland as hell and Fruitella gears here. too bad it’s a three pack. Don’t particularly care about Gobots or hokey eHobby fiction.

Things IDW should have done is a really long list to be fair.

I think it'd look better if the silver parts on the side of the faceplate were painted blue. As it is, it makes the face look too wide.

i’ll have to try it put first to see how soft the plastic is. I hate bendy plastic but i dunno if I dislike it enough to buy a blade. How bad is it?

Looks like they wanted more of a super mode head than just Optimus eith his face covered.

Find a toy in plastic bubble packaging, cut the clear plastic to fit and paint it to match the other windows. Attach it over the windshield with hot glue or blu-tack since it's gonna get covered up anyway and to keep it removable.

And preordered. Faceplate looks kinda big but it evens out with the visor. They're also selling the hammer with the clear parts in yellow for some odd reason.

These ridiculous scene-specific toys reminds me of what other brands with smaller casts have to resort to to make repaints. You can buy regular Godzilla, Godzilla with blue to represent atomic beams, Godzilla that time he got blasted by the Maser tank, Godzilla after he got slimed by Biollante...

The dead guy toys are all exclusives, right? Probably significantly smaller production runs.

I’ve seen cats do that. I think it’s an invitation to rub their belly. Or fleas, I don’t remember.

Thet’s really odd box design to have the Transformers text in the middle like that. Thought it was two separate boxes at first
