80% bought, but only because of the uncanny resemblance to Nova Prime. Just needs a pair of wings and booties and BLAM makeshift Generations Nova Prime.

Psst, third parties, that's your cue!

Ditto, although if they actually made the full armor addons as his trailer it would be cool!

Never notice primes hand go past his knees same with combiner wars combiners very gorilla like prime legs need to be long proportions on his arms are weird,

Original prime colors are better

[OptimalOptimus2]

Surprisingly, this Optimus figure has more paint details than the original Voyager Class Optimus Prime. I'm surprised nobody noticed.

Aaand that sells it to me. I was going to skip this and use his Deluxe partners on the Wave 1 toy (while Cyclonus gets the rejected ones from the first three waves because I got Quickslinger and Brake-Neck and hope for a Deluxe Groove outside the Guardian set), but to use it as a Nova Prime is actually a good idea.

Obvious Nova Prime homage is obvious.



Probably not called that due to being an evil character and bad guys don't sell or something.




This repaint is better then every single version of red and blue murica Optimus I have always hated the two colors combined.


White is a better color for leader type characters.

I like the White Prime, I was going to get the regular version until I heard rumours about the white version. Now I'm definitely sold on it.

He shall be the torso for the Combiner I call Outcast, which shall contain Offroad, Rook, Alpha Bravo and that Blast-Off that isn't a space shuttle.

[Doubledealer93]

pass.

[Madeus Prime]

Hm, if he's ever on sale, maybe as a stand in Nova. But otherwise, I just don't like the mold enough...

[LOST Cybertronian]

I didn't realize this guy came with a new head.

I'm thinking the same thing. I haven't picked up any version of the mold, and I definitely like it, but not well enough to snag at full price. This white version is spectacular for what it is, and IDDW Nova is a pretty cool character.

The toy is made to reflect the IDW comic appearance in the Combiner Wars event, and is intended to form Optimus Maximus with the upcoming Prowl, Ironhide, Mirage and Sunstreaker deluxes

I'm not sure if that really was the intention. In his first appearance he was the Ultra Prime red and blue. I'm 99% sure that they changed the colors on him in the comics because they got the colors for the toy in after the first appearance was finalized and Hasbro wanted this deco to be with the limbs coming out around the same time.

Another reason he should have been someone else.

2 new heads

Erm, no, the robot head is new, the gestalt head is the same.

Ah damn, I confused the pic of the combined head due to grey background and thought the combined head didnt have the side pipes and thus looked more like Star Convoy. Oh well, thanks for the correction!

And even then, the modified Optimus Maximus from Windblade #3 just looked like Wave 1 with a white head. I'd actually be down for just buying that one and painting the head to match.

Actually that's my plan fo Galvatronus waiting (and hoping) for some CW Sweeps.

Battle Core Prime doesn't look to bad. I may consider getting him if I see him in shops. I don't think I want him enough to go online for him.

I think that's probably not in the cards, maybe a Botcon set next year? (My money is on combiners being the exclusives)

[SW's SilverHammer]

Pretty cool star convoy, I like it better than the original, it has personality. Especially being decoed in a fasion reminiscent of nova prime.

[Ultra Markus]

i dont understand why he has to be all white reminds me more of ultra magnus
to be honest i think i would just stick with the red and blue optimus prime version that
came out in the first wave

[Zeedust]

I know I shouldn't like this, but i do.

It puts me in mind of a RiD/Unicron Trilogy style "super mode" recolor for some reason.

No idea if those two thing are connected.

Well, he is called Battle Core Optimus Prime. Which means he could be an update to anyone's head cannon on how at the CORE of their G1 Magnus toy was a white Optimus Prime toy covered in BATTLE armour

if you say so, although its not what i would consider an updated armoured optimus prime in my head cannon.
i think more along the lines of masterforce god ginria or star convoy for an updated look or a combination of both
or this

[MaverickPrime]

The deco is very nice, a cool homage to Nova Prime, however...
WORST WASTE OF RETOOL BUDGET EVER, WHY WOULD YOU RETOOL OPTIMUS' HEAD INTO ANOTHER OPTIMUS HEAD?!?!?
THIS IS WHY BLAST OFF HAS SLINGSHOT'S HEAD. GOD. DA*N IT.

Sorry, but that really hit my credibilty on this line, it was majestic, sublime and then this happened. Also, come on, Pipes has NEVER had any kind of update, he needed a new head as well, and I won't even get started on Scattershot, would it have killed them to give him a new combiner head???? As nice as Cyclonus is, he was completely unnecesary and he got a lot of new parts which Scattershot needed way more.
