For some reason I'm LOVING the look of that deluxe Devastation Prime. Also interested on Wheeljack and AOE Prime, somehow.
Deluxe Devastation Prime will look great next to Legacy United G1 toy Prime. Two Optimus Primes in the same size class, one that's super animation accurate and one that's super toy accurate.

That's why I want it, assuming their sizes match pretty well. If one ends up being a head or so taller, I'll lose interest.

Welp that seals it unless I drasticly change my mind
I just got CW Devasator back in my collection so I have no need for Studio Devasator

Not that i don't appreciate these Jazz reissues (the first US release was right at the top of Studio Series, and the most recent one was in a multipack). But is exclusivity or whatever still affecting a "peacefully piloting the shuttle, not knowing he was about to die" Prowl reissue?

Doesn't seem terrible.

Picked up the RotB Optimus off Amazon. I've gotta say, it's a huge downgrade from the SS Bumblebee model. Less articulation, just looks awkward as hell, and his weapons are not great. I'm pretty disappointed.

I’m telling you, it’s those cel-shaded windows. They just seem to “complete” the look for a cartoon-based Prime.
The face looks a lot better on the updated SS86 version; that light gray is very nice. I just can't bring myself to pick up yet another iteration of that mold.
I’m holding out for some sort of sale or discount, myself. Not sure that will happen, but I was always ready to settle on my grey one. This one would be a bonus, anyway.

It’s not the most accurate, and it’s lacking in deco…but the “Voyager Core” figure really is a GREAT figure. The proportions and “profile” are REALLY nice. After getting it, I had NO interest in the Studio Series version. YMMV, though.

Both of mine will be staying.

Mostly because the aftermarket value will be destroyed by the new release but still.

Purple Galvatron: "Are you the voice in my head?"
Other Purple Galvatron: "No, I'm the voice OUTSIDE your head, if I was inside, I'd be in there, but I'm out here..."
Purple Galvatron: "Ah, yes, sorry, I mix those up."
Other Purple Galvatron: "Easy mistake to make, happens to me all the time. Let's take it out on Cyclonus."
Purple Galvatron: "Seems reasonable."

So AoE Prime with purple eyes, the red face tattoo, the knight gauntlets and given the past Nemesis releases, maybe darker red and blue. Might also give him the gun he used instead of the handheld movie 1-3-style sword AOE prime has.

Soundwave is probably an important enough character for a new mold with maybe a few minions packed in.

Astrotrain is maybe a Springer-esque retool. I don't see what they could do with a straight rerelease aside from withholding the battle damage. I guess the gray could be lighter and the purple the cartoon accurate shade.
