Well, I think they're both good ones, but what can I say? I'm a sucker for a half-way decent G1 Prime!

Crap, you beat me to it!

I am a bit shocked at the photos used for G1 Prime, since they weren't truly photos of G1 Prime. That was the one that came in a two pack with a Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime, and the two toys shared the DotM Prime's trailer. (And the G1 cab was modified to accommodate, as otherwise the trailer hitch would not have a peg hole to plug a gun into.)

Do you mean this guy?

Thanks so much for catching that, it's been fixed along with another tiny edit.

Well, if you remove God Bomber from the equation, he basically is Powermaster Optimus Prime. And I suppose you could even include God Bomber now, thanks to the domestic Powermaster Prime reissue that included him (renamed Apex Bomber). It really is a tricky case with him, as he is one toy that has two completely different fictions as two completely different characters, all pretty much depending on which side of the Pacific you live on.-Kanrabat- wrote:...I would have put in Alternity Optimus Prime.

I almost included him in the ones I mentioned, too... But he's just too damn frustrating to transform, I find. And this is coming from someone who finds, say, Masterpiece Megatron a fun transformation. Heck, I transformed my Masterpiece Rodimus last night and found it an entertaining time. But my Alternity Convoy? Ugh... If I transform him at all, it is only because I typically transform all of my Optimi at once.
As far as realistic licensed vehicle based G1 Optimus Primes go, I actually prefer the Alternators/Binaltech Dodge Ram mold over the Alternity mold.

The theory I have is because Masterforce was never shown outside Japan, they released the first version of the toy with just a bio on the box explaining the story. Is there any European or Amercan comics that show an original story for PM Prime? Because for me, there is only ONE. Ginrai.
-Kanrabat- wrote:As for Alternity Optimus, I find transforming him quite easy. The legs are the most complex part, but it's easy to figure out where everything go. Compared to Bee's ultra hard and tight chest transformation, or the self-destructing seeker mold, I find Alt OP to be a breeze and pretty fun. As much as Megatron in fact. Optimus is also the best Alternity to pose without flopping all over the place.

What I have is a Reissue of God Ginrai. For some reasons, the new safety measure made the missile extra long. It have the fold in hands and the cab is all diecast.
So, it IS God Ginrai. Just a reissue.
-Kanrabat- wrote:Also, I have a G1 Takara Ultra Magnus Reissue. His missiles are stupid elongated as well. Cherry on the cake, one peg to hold the missile launcher in vehicle mode is all crooked. :/
-Kanrabat- wrote:My Alternity Convoy's chest transform like a breeze so maybe yours is either broken of have a factory error. That suck because getting a replacement will be quite expensive. Maybe get the Super GT version?

That is kind of what I limit myself to these days, due to display space concerns. Here's my collection as it currently is displayed, minus Classics Voyager Prime who is on display on my Classics '84 Autobots shelf.
