Fellow Seibertronian Agamemnon decided to look into the Motormaster which came in the latest wave of Combiner Wars voyagers (alongside Battle Core Optimus) just to verify if it also had the fixed hip ratchet. He confirms that it does and gives us the embossed lot number anyone should see on the boxes containing the fixed version. The part where the number should appear has been circled below (that image just shows where it should be using an image of the box from the first release).

I can confirm that my new Motormaster has the fixed hips. I think some were looking for the embossed lot number on the back of the box near the bottom. This is what my Motormaster had:

52231

I hope that helps anyone looking for the big guy with the right hip ratchets.

Check this area of the box to see if the number mentioned above is embossed.

Aren't they rereleasing the Optimus with the hip fix too? And if so, how do you identify it?

No, battle core o/p is the only one getting the fix. The case is comprised of the fixed mm and bco/p, so there's no room for the original o/p. TT's uw o/p should have the fixed thighs I assume.

He would look cool....

But Sky Lynx is too gorgeous and too proud to ever share a mold with a lesser being

It'd be cool if they did something like a harbinger of Unicron, that hunted and killed enemies of Unicron, him and other emissaries of Unicron like drancron, rartorata, elephorca, or shockaract, or The Fallen

Despite the badassery of Sky Lynx though, I still really want a Nexus Prime

That would probably be a funpub thing, and they have moved on, by next year, they will have titan returning wars' molds at their disposal...

Thats the first I hear of that, if you are referring to Hasbro releases. As far as I know, the only release of that exact mold to get a fix ratchet will be the Takara version, not the Hasbro version. And the way to identify it is that it comes in a takara box set

If the embossed number begins with a 4 it was manufactured in 2014 which would be wave 2. If it begins with a 5 it was manufactured in 2015 which means the lastest wave or so I have heard.

"Prime wars" gives us combiners, headmasters, etc..... I would not rule out a Nexus some where down the tracks, especially with this Sentinel they are putting out

I'm pretty sure he means Battle Corp Prime is the only one getting the fix.

Isn't that more or less Grand Scourge's story? He's a herald of Unicron with a time and space Matrix that lets him travel through dimensions to hunt down anyone with a Matrix (basically anyone with Prime or Convoy in their name). There's also CW Cyclonus/Galvatronus who has a somewhat similar thing going on without the dimension hoping.

Uh, yeah, that's already been well established in the last few posts. He's saying Battle Core OP is the only Prime getting the fix which is true.

He was speaking of hasbro Primes, not motormasters.

An evil little part of me considered buying the fixed Motormaster, putting my old one in the box and returning it.

But that just wouldn't be kosher, I guess.

He knew they were releasing MM with the fixed hips, as per the original message. He was asking if red prime was getting a re-release with hip fix, but instead we are getting BC Prime. Motormaster was never in question

Thanks, I've edited my post above!

Found this video, showing how you can fix the hips yourself, without any sawing or permanent modification. It is reversible and surprisingly good!

I just tried this on my Red Optimus Prime and it works beautifully.

Yes they do, but he asked about o/p figures, and I answered it, he specifically wanted to know if the red one was getting a fix and thus a release, neither of which is happening; but, I get your desire to have all the facts known, it's cool >:oP

Well....you could always fix your existing ones, thanks to albnok's video link! thus saving you money you would've had to spend on the Motormaster reissue, plus I'm sure the fix on that video link also works on Prime too
