Just what we need: another non-transforming figure of Optimus Prime.

Makes me wonder if even the die-hard OP fans are getting tired.

there are waaay too many g1 prime toys that do not transform. it looks awesome though. seems like the only thing they can do now is to give them as much detail as possible to top the previous ones.

If it is highly detailed, articulated, properly jointed, and accurate to the original design, it'll be an awesome figure. But what they should be selling in the same box with the robot figure as part of a set is a highly detailed, accurate, feature filled, non-transforming vehicle/alt mode figure too.

Somewhere a supervisor is saying, "Yeah, it looks good, but does it have enough exhaust pipes? I really see this guy generating lots of exhaust. Like, even out of his forearms. Can we get some forearm pipes in there?"
