Now, I don't know if this has ever come up and I still need to figure out the forums and such, but I was wondering what is going on with potp prime's feet. Mp10 has normal ones, his look like they're floating. Is that a result of the amalgamation of Pax and trailer?
Also just want to say that I'm glad I finally took the plunge and joined

Even though we get more combiners and old characters in the background, I feel more interested with the S3 cast (and other smaller casts in future franchises).

All they would need, IMO, is to keep the fixed hip and retool him so his arms lock into place better.

2. Not sure on the whole Leozack from Starscream thing....
seems to be ok on new ideas (Lynx Master, Grand Convoy, Grand Galvatron, Megatronia etc...). But if its an already existing combiner, they probably want to do it right, or not at all.

I mean, they made the Nosecone mold which is perfect for the driller and Rook would have made a good replacement for the firetruck as well as a decent submarine if you remove the wheels.

If you think about it however the Energon Optimus "limbs" were just drones. I, for one, like what UW did with Optimus/Convoys, they gave me the toy Hasbro should have been advertising, instead of trying to stick those limbs with the white Optimus. While its true they did release baldigus, that was because it was so straight up and easy to do. I'm kind of surprised they didn't try to do Guard City & battle Gaia first actually....but who knows maybe they will be late offerings after they run out of PotP material...

I'm just pointing out that we had an Optimus who was:
1) A combiner torso who attach four limbs.
2) With a boxy but modernized truck mode.
3) And whose combined mode make use of an opening chest panel visual with clearly matrix-inspired molding inside.
How did anyone at Takara not see this and want to make it in Grand Convoy will remain a goddamn mystery to me because it was the perfect mold for an update.

Looks like we're in the same boat. Cost-wise for both per wave...
Wave 1: Swoop, Slug, Grimlock
Wave 2: Sludge, Snarl, Hun-Gurr, Rippersnapper
Wave 3: Cutthroat, Sinnertwin, Blot
Huh, Wave 3 is the cheapest, followed by 1, then 2.
