[QUOTE="Steevy Maximus, post: 151797, member: 148"] For one, it would be Big Optimus PrimAL. And two, you jest, but I’d LOVE a big leader/Commander redo of him, especially with Magmatron being done. I think he’s probably my favorite Beast Era Optimus design (though, the loose Dino-connection probably helps too.). Given what we’ve seen with recent figures, I think we’d see some really nifty gimmick interpretations. On Star Convoy, though… I’m liking more and more, despite my best efforts (I need to cut back on spending, dang it!). I dig the base turret also become another hand blaster. Confirmation of an Energon BULLET is quite a demonstration of hubris from this design team ;) If anything, that feels like a “Warden feature” given the last time I saw a bullet accessory at retail, it was in a 3.75” GI Joe figure over a decade ago. About the only issue I have is the shade of the translucent blue. I think it works for most elements, but it comes across as being too dark for the decision to use it on the eyes. Without a venue for light piping, those clear eyes don’t really do much for me. I’d argue that an extra paint app might have been a better option here. But I’m REALLY digging ”Micromaster” Hot Rod. While no means a true Micromaster (or comparable micro figure, really), I’m really liking it on the merits as a Core Class figure. Despite the loss of the back spoiler, I think ALL the other details really click with me. Especially the face sculpt and colors. [/QUOTE]
