No seriously, you have seen the real G2 Optimus Prime haven't you?

Well, I mean, not as real as the real deal Laser Prime, but I find his design satisfactory until I get my hands on his far superior counterpart.

We've been getting 'real optimus primes for a while, now/

Well, amidst all the legends class, fast action battlers, and the dumb movie voyager repaints, this one seems to be a no-nonsense figure.
I don't even remember an Optimus Prime being released in Universe.

G2 Prime has that "campy wrist that you'll probably grow to love" look...

And this thread gave us a new acronym:

SIRFbwIB

Scourge is Red (eyed), Flying bat wing is Blue (eyed)...

Classics Optimus Prime. Admittedly 2006, but still of the neo-G1 line.

I was just talking about the Universe line itself, not counting classics.

Generations is Classics. Universe is Classics. We've been having Optimus Prime's coming out of Arcee's holy hannah, you just need to get caught up instead of acting like a pity party. Stop bending terminology to fit your facade, go out and get the Optimus Primes and Ultra Magnus' that you have missed for the past 25 years instead of bitching about the lack of these characters in retail. C'mon man.

They may share the same concept and style, but as far as stores are concerned, Classics, Universe and Generations are separate lines forming our Classicverse, just like Armada, Energon and Cybertron forming our Unicron Trilogy. In that aspect, OptiMagnus is right.

I really didn't read the posts or remembered if I posted in this thread or not, but I like G2 Laser Prime/Scourge/Black Convoy as the toy was...blocky but with more articulation than G1 Prime.

I don't like this version of G2 Prime. I think the way they re-imaged Classics Prime/Henkei Convoy from the original G1 Counterpart was excellent as far as a step forward in execution.

This version of G2 Laser Prime is a step back. Plus I'm tired of all the leaders being deluxe size also. I think this hampers on what they can do.

Has HasTak learned from U-Galvatron or WFC Optimus Prime/Megatron to know leaders are always bigger than their cohorts.
