The Hasbro versions tend to look a lot better than their Arms Micron counterparts. Makes me wonder how Breakdown and the Jet Vehicon would've looked.

That shark-torpedo is killer. Too bad the Microns didn't get a Hasbro release either.

Two did, technically speaking: O.P. and Bogu. They came assembled and painted with the Optimus Prime & Gaia Unicron 2-pack. Coincidentally, Leo Prime is mentioned in the set's bio.

I just got Hasbro Dreadwing, but AM Dreadwing could somewhat pass for a new character. All I want is Jigu anyway :lol:

Leo Prime is a clever repaint of Thundertron, I like to think of him as an aged version of the BWII character (which he actually is), like a successor of Alpha Trion. You hearing this Hasbro/FunPub?

I don't like how Dreadwing is decoed. Hasbro's looks better, being more accurate to the show. Takara's just says Generation 2 to me.

Leo Prime's okay, but I'm not sure if I particularly like the idea of him being a dimension-hopper.

Hence me clamoring for a new attempt.

Did you know 3H originally wanted to use the original BWII Lio Convoy mold for him?

Hello Thundercracker!

He says, "Hello," back.

I actually kinda like the idea of repurposing AM Dreadwing as Thundercracker. Prime Starscream is just too distinctive to really pass as anyone else (despite what the various redecos try), but Dreadwing is a rather generic jet-bot so it could work better.
