Good thing for you too since that truck isn't for a toy.

How do you know he didn't want to buy a real truck?

Seriously, though, I don't think Evasion Mode Optimus Prime is really THE 30th Anniversary Prime. He wouldn't scale all that well with a leader class Megatron. I'm thinking we might see something very satisfying, like a Supreme Class Generations Prime, with the robot mode sized out to scale with a lead class Megatron, plus a complete trailer with lots of fun gimmicks (Roller, repair bay, props, etc.), but done in the modernized "Classics" style, or perhaps to match Optimus Primes more recent IDW renditions. I could even see such a package being the SDCC exclusive, with retail stores simply getting the package without the trailer and additional accessories. Yes, it's a LOT to hope for, and it's pure speculation at this point, by I've got a good feeling that Has-Tak will not drop the ball on this anniversary celebration.

Ugh, I wish TFW2005 and Seibertron knew to be more careful on what they report on as it's not a toy but a rendering of a real vehicle that will be on tour.

The Allspark reported it properly when it was first revealed.

That Optimus truck is not, I repeat, NOT a toy!

It is merely a real life truck being designed to resemble Optimus/Convoy that will tour Japan at various locations as part of this anniversary campaign event.

Though, the image itself is a design concept render of what the real truck will look like, rather than an actual photo of the truck.

Do not, I repeat, do NOT expect a toy out of this.

Quoted for truth. I wish people posting news would be more careful. Seems one page ran with the story (either TFW or Seibertron) and the other decided to report the same thing.

There is no toy. That's a concept for a real truck.

Well, don't I have rarified energon on my face now.

True. But that just goes to show how differently Hasbro thinks from the rest of the fandom.

Hasbro: "We already gave you a Voyager Optimus Prime that's a red and blue flat-nosed truck with silver stripes, has a red torso with window pecs, blue legs, a blue Optimus Prime-like head, and a gray gun. We even ggave you MP-10 with all the bells and whistles! And again as a Platinum Edition redeco! What more do you picky fans want?"

That's a good point.

And in any event, I absolutely love the Classics Optimus mold. I still wish they would make a version with an Energon Axe.

Pcc Chopster.

Caelus wrote:I actually don't like that COE - it looks like Huffer to me, not Prime. It feels small and efficient, not beefy and intimidating. Plus, the solid window without the vertical strut to mimic pecs looks good on Orion Pax, but doesn't seem right on Optimus.

I was gonna say CYB Armorhide, who has always been my Pipesxand got repainted into Huffer, but you'd be more correct.

Thank you for the corrected info. The news article has been edited to reflect this change.

Ugh. I wish people would keep their rudeness and their forum pride to themselves, rather than coming here and saying things in such a manner when we don't do the same to you.

You were one I respected. Past tense.

I would like a decent IDW style Optimus as he has looked for the past... has it been 4 or 5 years yet? I don't expect it though, not only do I think the way things are being marketed now that Has/Tak will overlook such opportunity, but like nearly every other IDW character who's gotten a new toy lately(Excluding Skids) he'd probably have a completely new form, which would kill it for me since his current form has been my favorite ever since he started using it.

It was a tactic I used in an attempt to get people's attention to correct the issue, so in my mind it was worth it to try and stop the spread of misinformation.

No hard feelings meant.

Randy

Could've just e-mailed news@seibertron.com or pm'ed one of the news crew, heck, even using the "report this post" button would have gotten attention.

No, it was a tactic in which to be rude and rub it in people's faces. I see you posted the exact same message over at TFW. I don't know how The ALLSpark's staff is supposed to conduct itself when visiting other boards, but I can't imagine this looks good. You're supposed to be a positive ambassador to others, not alienate people.

Our staff doesn't come to your board and do the same thing. It was rude and crass and you know it. You didn't cause change, btw. That was Sabrblade. You can't take credit for anything, here.

And no hard feelings meant? Total crap and you know it. I saw your news posting, which was a dig at us and TFW. You stay classy. *smh*

Oh, no. I welcome the public's help, because I'm nowhere near perfect and prone to mistakes. Sabrblade performed the same service without being rude. There is a difference between what Powered/Randy/(Randall?) pulled and how Sabrblade addressed it.

I welcome transparancy, even when I'm incorrect on something. However, a comment or request can be made politely without rudeness, but I realize this tactic was to garner page views for their board. Can't blame them for what he does, I suppose, but he should realize he's representing them and should present himself as a gentleman.

Yeah ... okay ... let's get back on topic guys.

Yes I agree.

I hope we see images of the actual truck soon and not just this rendering.

Randy (just Randy, my name isn't Randall BTW )

Well, I hope that they make a toy out of the super gt at least, and put an 'AI' with it,

I would buy the heck out of that.

Speaking of that Super GT car for Team Mach, it too will be touring Japan for its own event.

That's gonna be interesting to see driving down the streets of Japan.

Masterpiece designer Shogo Hasui next to Camaro-Bumblebee and the Optimus Prime torso (which was clearly based on his MP-10.)

Fellow Seibertron.com user Cyberpath has picked up an interesting image from Takara Transformers designer Shogo Hasui's Twitter feed. The mind behind fan-favourite Masterpiece figures is just hangin' with a Camaro Bumblebee and a giant Optimus Prime torso based on his MP-10 design (more images below, too), both part of the 30th Anniversary tour organised by the company.

Dear Shogo Hasui,
Please go park the car, and give us a MP Megs V2, Please....

If only Optimus Prime's windows were TVs...
