I don't think Dragstrip will look that bad in person. If you look closely you can see where he's actually two shade of yellow to break things up. It's lost in the smaller shots, but in the close up of the car mode you can see the difference in colors easier.
I just wish these weren't coming out the same month as BLUEstreak and the Arcee rerelease.

He basically sounds like the same kind of character as DOTM Darkside Optimus Prime, with the addition of being able to force others to combine with him.A mysterious warrior resembling the Autobot supreme commander Convoy. It is able to transcend space and time and has set its sight on the myriad Convoys and Optimus Primes of the multiverse. In addition to its own atrocious unmatched combat capabilities, it is also able to force combinations - controlling warriors or drones with the ability to combine literally as easily as he does his own limbs. The large, scarlet blade it wields, the "Matrix Breaker" is not only an instrument of physical destruction but is also said to be capable of severing the bond between the Autobot supreme commanders and their Matrices of Leadership.
And it's cool how the bio both includes and distinguishes "Convoys" and "Optimus Primes".
Also, for those curious about the original version of Grand Scourge, the only piece of fiction he ever appeared in can be read in English (from RIGHT TO LEFT) here - http://www.fantofan.jp/fan/comic/fansub/modelkit-gc/model%20kit%20main.htm

I actually like the Prime/Motormaster mold. Its not bad. Its not optimal, but its not bad. This is a good repaint. I really like the look of the combiner and I may have to order this just for that. I don't have a scourge so this will be a great edition. I really hope they get some good variety of limbs coming out.
But really, it aint the worst Prime.
(Looking at your Machine Wars)
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.
TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy

He looks good, and the giant cleaver is icing on the cake. Now we really need figures of his drones. We have Alpha Bravo already, so...
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl
- Spare CW HFGs (Air Raid/Skydive)

NEVER!!!
I've been resisting that Elite Guard black first edition Prime (TF:Prime) for some time, and will continue to do so until there is a proper Nemesi/Scourge release! Grrr.
Seriously... Why did the lesser PRID Optimus have to get the Nemesis treatment?
