Something that has just struck me as odd with takara prime. The matrix/spark of combination on his chest. Back when prime was first announced I was sure that Takara would pay special detail to it but to see it there unpainted is a bit disappointing.

[It Is Him]

Not to mention no ports for Hot Rod.

Yeah, have to wonder if it is unpaintable plastic? or if neither hasbro or takara cares?

I didn't even notice that. .. Does UW Menasor still have his ports for Black Jack?

Optimus has the ports they're the red spots on the chest.

There are. It's just the perspective of the image makes them look shot. Check it out again.

But i fear that just like the rest of the molds, the Runabout/Hotrod holes won't fit snuggly.

Well, given that Takara's Menasor and Ultra Prime/Optimus Maximus/Grand Convoy Prime/man-this-guy-has-a-lot-of-names don't come with a chest minion, I don't see why they would retool it.

[ZeroWolf]

Ah I see, boy do I look stupid -_- was it the legends line where they dumped power glide? I was wondering if they actually advertised his third mode

Convoy Grand Prime look so graceful in that one pic. Like he's dancing or something.

Yes, it's unpaintable plastic.

But at least the insides of the two flaps are now shiny dark silver instead of just solid red. And other little details surrounding the Matrix-styled design are colored to homage Energon Optimus.

Very true, it does make the inside look much better

[ZeroWolf]

That's true, something small like that does make a lot of difference.

The Matrix-looking part is what's unpaintable plastic.

Oh alright. I believe the only things on him that are the unpaintable plastic are the matrix piece and his little ear things in combined mode.

Yeah, have to get in early for those figures, like, right after you see the first in-hand images.

Anybody think that next year - since it was unavailable for this year - that G2 Devestator, using the TT version, will be a sdcc exclusive (or similar)?

Fully possible. They are loving the G2 repaints right now so it would not surprise me
