Just a question Caelus, why do you choose to have that antenna sticking out back of Galvatron's head instead of having it lay down his back?

Thanks guys. I was super-excited to find that clear stand at Hobbytown, and had to do something cool. And yeah, this was what I was expecting at the end of #55 - I was rather disappointed when it didn't happen.

To me that bit sticking up on the back was always a distinctive feature of Galvatron. I didn't have the toy as a kid, just the movie on VHS, and the cannon's iron-sights sticking up from his back was just an important part of the look. Not essential, but important, like Optimus having wheels on his lower legs. The big spike made him look a little more alien and a little more wicked, a little less like a generic dude in armor.

Folding it down and out of sight on the toy just looks 'wrong' to me.

Cobotron suggested I post this here too, just a copy and paste from my collection thread though..

Oh no, a Squirrelcon!!

Optimus Primal..MAXIMIZE!!

I need a better vantage point!!

I need better camouflage!!

With a few new options for Optimal coming out, I've been getting really excited about the idea of expanding my collection with them and some potential other beast Primes.

Oh struggle, why are you so real? :lol:

you mean because of the cartoon? The Takara version also has a red tongue and silver teeth -- and a Decepticon insignia on his chest.
