ALL ILLEGAL AND UNAUTHORISED BY JOHN TAKARA smh my head
Cartoon accuracy and TFWiki strike again. This is the only picture on the wiki of this character from the cartoon and I'm 100% sure that's why they went with mangled face.
We only see the broken face for literally two seconds in the cartoon. Maybe if they had actually watched the episode, we could have gotten his extend-o arm.
What could have been...
Anyway, the color of this toy reminds me of Powerlinx Optimus.

Or maybe, just maybe, Mark instead chose to give it the mangled face simply because he wanted to immortalize a memorable part of the character's single episode appearance?
I like that it has the mangled face. Definitely sets it apart. Although there'll be times I crave something less distinct (or something with a silver faceplate to break up the sea of dark navy), so I may get one of those Achai heads for the Armada mold.
NGL, this isn't doing it for me. I was hoping he'd have his trailer and, at the very least, a swappable head for one with a faceplate, since I never got the regular Optimus version.
I mean, I might not have gotten this one, either, but there would have been more of a shot that way. I'm just kinda disinterested.

A swappable head would up the value of this for sure. Even if they used the dumb "swappable front half of head" thing from the Buzzworthy army builders.
I also wish it came with a Run-Over. Although yeah, not in the show.

I, unironically, want to see something derived from the Costco exclusive deco.
I genuinely want that as well. But this time with the trailer.
I'm craving a ton of early 2000s stuff really. Sam's Club Prowl (Red Alert) and Starscream. Costco Optimus Prime. Universe 1.0 Primal and Silverbolt. Cryotek. We're getting Razorclaw. Battle in a Box Magnus, Smokescreen (Hot Shot). Checkpoint and/or Wrecker Hook (from Scrapbook?).

Ah, yes, Nemesis "Evangelion Unit 03" Prime...Maybe if they had actually watched the episode, we could have gotten his extend-o arm.

At first glance the Tidal Wave wings look like Megatron's got his arms out, going "Really, lifting a guy into the air? Really?"
"Hey Starscream, check out this sweet kite!"
