The deco is very nice, a cool homage to Nova Prime, however...
WORST WASTE OF RETOOL BUDGET EVER, WHY WOULD YOU RETOOL OPTIMUS' HEAD INTO ANOTHER OPTIMUS HEAD?!?!?
THIS IS WHY BLAST OFF HAS SLINGSHOT'S HEAD. GOD. DA*N IT.

Sorry, but that really hit my credibilty on this line, it was majestic, sublime and then this happened. Also, come on, Pipes has NEVER had any kind of update, he needed a new head as well, and I won't even get started on Scattershot, would it have killed them to give him a new combiner head???? As nice as Cyclonus is, he was completely unnecesary and he got a lot of new parts which Scattershot needed way more.

I think what scattershot needed most were... technobots

Something about this guy appeals to me, maybe it's just the fact that I missed out on the original colours.

You mean on Menasor ?

I had been against it from the moment I heard about it. I thought having him in white would just be absolutely stupid. Now that I finally got my hands on the red version and now that I look at these pics, I'm thinking Damn, now I'm going to have to buy the white version too. the head sculpt is a HUGE improvement and the white/gold/gray really go well together.
Thinking I'll do up the white vehicles (Prowl, Wheeljack and maybe a few Protectobots) with the white Prime and add Ironhide, Hound, Mirage and Sunstreaker to the red Prime for my division of combiner teams.

You gotta mix it up a little. Put 2 prowls and 2 streewises

I believe alpha bravo's the most influential member of the Arielbots the same way Blackjack influenced the stunticons. Alpha bravo is Superion.

i'm with you. white bots will look better on white prime while colorful bots will look better on red prime.

The White Optimus is OK - I don't think I much appreciate it being Optimus though.

I'll buy it if I trip over it. But wouldn't be likely to pay a premium price for it.... when the limbs come out they will be going on the red version of Optimus no mater what Hasbro says to do with them.

I prefer the white one as a stand alone as it's got a better looking head - so you may as well show it off.

[Zeedust]

Well, he is called Battle Core Optimus Prime. Which means he could be an update to anyone's head cannon on how at the CORE of their G1 Magnus toy was a white Optimus Prime toy covered in BATTLE armour

No offense, but that seems like a stretch.

Once they decided to make Blast Off a plane, it stopped mattering what else they did because the geewunners were going to hate it no matter which head it had, and I think they knew that.

Hate not so much, don't like quite a lot. At least if they did it with Firefly it would have a closer head to the original.

Guys slingshots head does look a lot like blastoff's animation head except without a brown face plate.



That's what brown putty is for.



I mean I was staring at Blastoff's visor and ignored the face and I saw it as Blastoff since the mouth and nose is barley visible in the first place due to black plastic.





There you go people I save the fandom (I'm surprised nobody else suggested putty at least from what I have seen).

Actually, with Nova BC Prime's legs being grey, Off Road may work quite well in this mix.

I'm not unloving AB, just moving him to a more 'appropriate' team.

[peaces]

we are an effective team

I disapproved of Alpha Bravo (yet I bought him anyway, though he will NEVER be a part of Superion), but I am OK with Rook replacing Groove (and I did get the Legends Groove to be the chest piece for Defensor) and I am also OK with Blast Off not being a space shuttle. If he was, it wouldn't make sense.

G1 Blast Off didn't have a visor, though. He had two separate eyes.

To be fair, Slingshot's big googly aviators basically look like two separate eyes.

I actually think AB goes rather nicely with the rest of the white limb-bots. That, and I'm not keen on Blades headsculpt. So now he's an honorary Protectobot.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Now give us a frikkin' Headmaster Highbrow.

They did well with Brainstorm, we should get the rest of the Headmasters, both Bot and Con.

Brainstorm was really good and I love that figure! Soooo much!
Something I would like in addition to the new headmasters: A Voyager Targetmaster IDW-based Rodimus. That would be awesome!
this legends Rodimus isn't cutting it for me.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Personally, I like the fact that Blastoff is a redeco of Slingshot. Means I'll finally get that mold Either way, I am ok with the new guys. Love all 3 of em.

PS: Recently I saw a good bit of stink over AB and Rook, but yet no one cares about Offroad. Guess most haters came to accept him

[D-Maximal_Primal]

OK question: Anyone know why Hasbro Toy Shop is not using the Free shipping over $50? I just attempted to order the protectobots and the free shipping is not activated....

Hmm, I forgot about him. I purchased him as well, but he'll NEVER be a part of Menasor either.

It was only a temporary promotion, probably ended right as they were getting all the expensive sdcc figures in (go figure )
