Open mouth, insert foot, eh X?

Wow, thats a real figure ??? Im learning G2 one figure at a time. Im not a big fan of the fake cab windows on his chest just for the sake of looking G1.

G2 Laser Optimus and Hero Optimus are both that way. They look great, and that's all that matters to me! You should really check out the G2 line more, there were a ton of pretty great (and oddball) figures! For example, remember that Generations giftset with the redeco of RtS Prime, Jazz, legends Thundercracker, and legends Motormaster? Jazz's deco is of course inspired by G2 Jazz. Prime's deco is the unreleased redeco of this guy here! G2 "Combat Hero" Optimus Prime was to be a blue and red redeco of Hero Optimus Prime.

On the subject of G2 figures, you guys can keep your PRIME Dreadwing, can't beat the G2 version (The right one... the Left I call Darkwind)

Wasn't really a big fan of that mold, good idea, but there's a couple of points that break easily (legs, arms clips).

"Darkwind" however is a great mold and a great inspiration for Energon Starscream.

Who is that little fella to the left? I have seen him before but unsure who he is/was and what series did he come from?
Also has he been repainted elsewhere and as whom? (I dont ask for much me! )

From that picture, he looks really well articulated in all areas which is what I love from a Transformer, the more the better!

Perhaps you saw him in green? That's thesame mold that gave us the RID Smokejumper/Dread figures at Target.

And of course it's the inspiration for Energon Starscream and Cybertron Thundercracker/Skywarp. Of course you could argue for the sake of G2's Cyberjets in general too, more in the latter case than the former.

In my eyes, this is the best Optimus ever. He turns into a badass missile transport thing instead of a pansy truck, has his name/rank splashed across his chest to remind you who's boss, and he's wearing awesome pants. And that missile really flew - if you smashed those bellows for all you were worth.

They're a good pair of molds, aren't they? So much they've been repainted up to three times:

- G2 Dreadwing & Smokescreen (Stealth Assault & Ace Evader in EU)
- BWII Starscream & BB
- RiD Dreadwind & Smokejumper
- Robot Masters Smokesniper & Gigant Bomb

As for this Hero Prime, it looks like this guy comes from either Primax 388.0 Gamma, or Primax 787.3 Alpha, the two main Japanese G1 continuities, judging from "Forestonite", hailing from G-2, and especially Junpei

Since we got Destructicon Scourge, I've badly wanted a reissue of this figure, with maybe a better paint job. And no "Optimus Prime" across the chest.
I wouldn't mind a modern update either, such as we got with Laser Prime.

He's from Primax 895.0 Gamma, since "The New Battle!!" was part of no pre-existing continuity.
