I have to say... Junkions are like potato chips. Can't have just one! I'd be on board for legends and deluxe.

Lol "geek", in the dictionary, means a person who is knowledgeable, but socially awkward.
And "nerd", means an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit.
They are very close in definition, but are different none-of-the-less. :-B

So yes, as the toy and the comic make clear, Optimus Prime is part of this combiner, which appears to be called Optimus Maximus.

I was getting my Optimus Maximus confused with my Ultra Prime. D'oh!

Red: Ultra Prime
White: Optimus Maximus
Blue: ???

I could go for an Omega Prime

I'm surprised they've never reused that name since RID (the real RID, I mean).

Blue would be Powered Prime.

I'm talking about the more modern usage. What was once used as an insult, now is claimed with pride. Especially with the general acceptance of "geek culture" surrounding the various fandoms. I For example: I "geek out" for transformers.

But you know; tomaytoes, tamahtoes.

Hey guys, in case none of you know yet, TakaraTomyMall wrote on their website that the Deluxe Groove mold they made is exclusive to their site bought as a box st and this particular mold will not see a release overseas. This is unlike the other 2 extra limbs (slingshot and wildrider) who do not have this disclaimer on their page.

It is unsure if this is a mold made and designed by Takara alone. The use of clear plastic and dual guns hints towards this being an inhouse product and not something Hasbro would pick up.

I actually don't have Defensor yet, or any of the Combiner Wars stuff yet in fact, my budget is kinda tight.

We never saw what was under the hologram. And even if you have a vivid enough imagination that you want to "pretend" that this was what was under the hologram, they used the wrong autobots. So its not even a homage to the masquerade episode. Its just a really lazy repaint. Ironhide with no window on his chest ? Cmon now ? Sorry to be such a killjoy, but I stand by my opening comment. These repaints are really going to suck...

I'm gonna be that guy, cause it's buggin me.

Mirgae's holograms? No. That would be Hound, who wasn't part of that combiner. Mirage was, and his "power" is invisibility.

Besides Mirage's invisibility, he can actually change how he appears, albeit in limited duration. Mirage aka Dragstrip (re-watch the show Masquerade again) and you'll hear Mirage state so...about maintaining the Menasor head.

I know the feels. I have Superion and Menasor, but probs won't be getting Defensor until the fall. I cannot for the life of me find G1 Megatron for less than $50 anywhere, and all my stores have Armada Megs, but not G1. Plus, I'm looking for Magnus in the fall too. Now that it's official, I will probs get the 4 limbs and Optimus to make Ultra Prime hopefully

Yeah I am hoping to get Cyclonus and some limbs of my choice, just so I have a CW gestalt finally. :HEADHURTS:

I am REALLY excited about Ultra Magnus though! :DANCE:

And Devastator! :michaelbay:
