"entirely new mold" yeah...... no. its the same one just made bigger and with a few things added on. its sort of like generation sandstorm, except less changes.

It is based on a smaller toy, but it is entirely new. They did not use a single existing molded part from the AOE Evasion Prime to make this.

It's like how Siege Sideswipe is basically MP Junior, or how several Unicron era toys were similar to classics designs (I think I got those 2 right). They share engineering and Transformations and such, but no part of the mold used for one was used to make the other.

Hence, entirely new mold.

This is one of those stements that should be proceeded by "technically" and a glasses push up. New physical mold, but basically the same toy.

But you can say that about a lot of toys. This same logic would be that MP 10 is the sane toy as MP 01 but smaller.

Tis true especially with Optimus Primes. Quite a lot of them transform very similar to each other and most importantly to his G1 self. In this case though, there is very little distinction in the transformation. This however does not detract anything from Legendary OP.

Transformation is my primary play feature, and I want new and different. One of the reasons I try (and fail) at getting only one deco of a mold.

Now that picture just makes me happy!

You mean it's finally IN scale with Studio Series. I think it has to be fairly widely acknowledged at this point that not making the first SS Optimus a leader class was a blow to the whole "scale!" fortissimo of the line. The realization grows starker and starker with every release. You could argue it's close, but it's just not there. Optimus towers above the cohort in almost every scene, and my SS is pretty much equal with Ironhide in stature. Needed another inch or so.

No. SS Prime may be a lil small but no way should he should have been leader class at all. That would mean Starscream, Megatron, Blackout, Grimlock and such would have all had to be even bigger and that would push the size and costs way too high.

...And Grimlock would be freaking TITAN class.

Well, they had that Stomp n Chomp one, I think that would work!!

I've got the upgraded OS KO of Studio Grimlock pre-ordered. The one I'm gonna have TLK Voyager Prime sat upon in dino mode.

Well, this bad boy is now in stock. HLJ charged me for it yesterday. Don't know when I'll get around to shipping him though....

Or that!! I like that idea!!

You may have Optimus riding Grimlock, but whatabout Grimlock riding Grimlock?!

That is an awesome picture. Also when you look at height charts of the movie characters, they have got it right where they can. What doesn't help is that height seems to change in different scenes (how the scenes are shot doesn't help)

So you're saying..it's Sunbow all over again.

The practical answer would be probably between 1995-2002. But to me, it's only been the past few years, since we had the Prime Wars Trilogy Toys.

Previous Generations line toys were *neat* but didn't really evoke the feeling of the original series, nor has anything IDW published, except for All Hail Megatron, which was the brief highlight of the whole 13 year run.

I'm the complete opposite on all hail Megatron, I found it to be terrible. It had forgotten what the IDW run was supposed to be. That isn't here or there, my take on when g1 wasn't in vouge was from the end of g1 till t30 began.

Not at all. I really love ordering from them, they usually pack everything incredibly well

Hey, so I picked up the Bumblebee's greatest hits Soundwave figure up, and I was wondering something. A while back, it was said that the figure didn't come with his weapons. Has anyone reported them coming with weapons? I'm asking because mine actually did come with his grey blaster and shoulder cannon battery.

You took the guns out of the box? Because the way they are placed is kinda "hidden" for someone who is in too much of a hurry to take the figures out. And the guy may have dumped the box, along the weapons still in it, in the garbages.

That's what (may have) happen previously.
