oh ribby! you owe it to yourself to pick up one version of this mold! he's still complex without being overly so, and posable as hell! the only negative i can give the figure are: the gun cause of where that silly handle is, and those elbows (which are easily overlooked).

im betting EMOP will live up to your standards

If I find the one I want, then I might just pick him up. Maybe you should work in sales for Hasbro, shajaki.

Thanks, if you hadn't, I would've.

It's cool. It bugged the crap out of me too, only because the thread title was like "HEY I'M PLURAL" except that it wasn't. I'm also aware that I have had several beers and my own grammar at the moment probably sucks.

That said, the collection of Evasion Mode Primes here is totally sweet. Looking forward to several of them and it's very fun to see them all lined up like that :APPLAUSE:

Or maybe the possessional is correct because Optimus is totally owning that mold...

I deserve a slap. Go ahead.

I bought the Autobots United Version and it's a decent figure. I'd love to see it as FG God Ginrai. Either head sculpt.

Have to admit... (figuratively) bugging the crap out of me, as well. Bad enough to have the error in the first place, but it especially stands out as brain-spasming since the thread title makes a specific declaration of plural when there is no plural in said title.

And if, as shajaki is now claiming, it was a deliberate error on his part at an attempt at humor... Then I fear it seems to have failed, and rather than humorous it does just come off as a poorly written title. (Unless, of course, the joke was at our expense, and shajaki is laughing at our grammar-fueled rage over his title... in which case, bravo, sir. Bravo.)

Anyway, on to the topic at hand. Even though I do own a large collection of Optimus Primes, this is one mold I do not own. By the time of this film, I had been rather put off of the Bay-verse as a whole, and thus hadn't collected any of the toys associated with it. Still, this was the one mold that did tempt me, and I did consider it. I may someday still cave in on that point. If I did, I dare say that that one from the Platinum Autobots United five pack certainly is the nicest of the bunch. Pity, though, it would come with four other figures that I would have absolutely no desire for.

Oy this took forever to get to. Damn night shift >:oP

But here it is! Gallery updated with the addition of BLACK CONVOY!
(Technically its "Nemesis Prime" but it'll always be Black Convoy to me!)

He is easily the best EMOP in town. He's got as lot going for him (aside from the usual EMOP greatness): faceplate, blood red windows, terrifying eye piping, sexy teal trim, and some strange flat black in bot mode that's nicely done. Though he might not be homecoming king - he IS dating the head cheerleader.

*pics are big and high res, so if you want to right click "view image" you see them bigger and zoomed in for more details*

Do you think that teal wrongly held shotgun is silly? OMG ME TOO!
Luckily, you can fix that with a Dr.Wu sword and MT Battle Tanker gun!

Doesn't it just seem natural that these two would be adversaries?

So that's about it. Unless i manage to snag a MILK EMOP (doubtful) then im done for now! Enjoy! ;)^

This really is a great figure. One of only 2 AOE figures I bought, the other being voyager Hound, and I regret wasting 16 bucks on him.

Actually, Evasion prime is the first movie figure I've bought at all since Revenge of the Fallen.

It really is an awesome figure. For me it's that and AOE Leader OP (Grimlock 2 pack) which are the only movie OP that I own and that ain't bad. :VEHI:

Ha! Well stranger things have happened

Honestly I don't even know where to find Lucky Draws besides the rare cases they pop up on eBay. Besides, I think I'd be terrified to open him if I ever did get him :shock:
