I would love to see 3P do Pretender Shells for the remaining Prime Masters though. I could see the following:
Amalgamous Prime - Waverider
Prima - Skyhammer
Nexus Prime - Crossblades
Onyx Prime - Maybe a Pretender Beast like Chainclaw?
I matched them based on color, but I think they could work decently enough. Onyx is hard to place since orange is an uncommon color for Decepticons (and he would make the most sense as the 6th Decepticon Prime Master).
Or they could give us the CW Sunstorm that Funpub was going to make.Emerje wrote:If there is a NYCC exclusive (last year Grotusque was revealed at the show but I don't think it was actually sold there) I'd like to see them finally us the CW Starscream head for themselves. Maybe as a 2-pack of Thundercracker and Skywarp or as just Starscream in proper colors (not clear or gold).

Onyx may not have an inherent Shell, since he's not designed after a Pretender, but rather his Covenant self. Yay for a blank canvas! We'd also need a Shell for the 13th Prime (who seems to be based on Marvel's Prima).

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

I dont mind having bought him (came out to $15 USD)but this is not an easy winner of the 3 POTP leaders. I find him very flimsy and he feels very cheap. All leaders feel that to a certain extent (very hollow) but I think this one feels cheapest. The thumbs keep popping off and those wings are loose. Plus that connection for flight mode is ultra weak. Granted, its not a mode I like but I would like to choose not to use it rather than not be able to use it due to pegs not working properly. I will say taht the robot mode for Optimus Primal looks cool, I like it. Nice headsculpt. Actually, all the headsculpts are nice, they are the best part of this toy.
So what are your thoughts?

I'll give you the bit about the jet mode (the tabs on mine are a bit too tight), but I can't agree with the other stuff. Mine feels very solid and all of the joints are nice and tight (some are a bit too tight, in fact). My only real issue with him is the stickers (which is not a problem exclusive to Primal).william-james88 wrote:Am I the only one dissapointed by the Optimal Optius mold now that i have him in hand?
