. It must have been a fresh case because there were 2 Hun-Gurrr's and 2 Elita-1s (Both had black feet instead of pink)
Also this particular walmart had wave 1 PM's on clearance for $3.00

See, in my mind they've already altered Primal so much by giving him an alt mode that reminds me of one of those Transformers flying coffins that an orange cockpit wouldn't strike me as anything unusual, and in fact be understandable knowing it would have been done to give OO a proper chest.-Kanrabat- wrote:Friendly reminder that that Optimus Primal is NOT supposed to be a Masterpiece.

His entire chest is an "irrelevant spot"?![]()

Yeah, and the whole cockpit already hides on the smaller figure's back in robot mode anyway. He'd just have an oddly-colored orange backpack instead of an oddly-colored gray backpack.Emerje wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Making the front of the transport mode orange would be very unpleasant to most peoples' eyes.

It's still the most prominent part of his chest that isn't a window.-Kanrabat- wrote:Emerje wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Making the front of the transport mode orange would be very unpleasant to most peoples' eyes.

The issue was only about the small grey part on the upper part of the chest that is "supposed to be" orange.
Pretty pointless.

I mean, the same could be same about the area surrounding Potpie Leader class Optimus Prime's chest windows. Those are properly colored red as they should be, but suppose if they were instead colored green or purple for whatever reason, while the rest of his torso remained red. People would make a fuss over it being colored "the wrong color".

...aaaand people are still stuck on the whole 'grey cockpit torso' part. Damn it people, is it really that important? And keep in mind I am a Beast Wars fanboy and even I think it's a understandable sacrifice.

It annoys me because they’ll go out of their way to reference the most specific G1 toy details and yet Optimal Optimus’s chest isn’t even the right color. The silver in the middle of all the orange is also kind of an eyesore to me at least.

Skritz wrote:But, seriously, I don't want to be the guy who defend Hasbro. They're an awful company and get be very lazy in many respects and cut corners but this? This isn't such a case. This isn't laziness or not caring it's balancing the piece count and color scheme of two figures who are utterly different in color palette. The only way this could have been fixed is if they had agreed on designing the orange 'optimal' ape so it had the cockpit in the torso, not the Primal figure,
Likewise, the cockpit part, nay, the whole front half of Optimus Primal's altmode isn't a part of his robot mode either. It just hangs off his back like a long backpack and matches none of his robot mode's deco colors or overall aesthetics.Wolfman Jake wrote:I'm assuming you mean blue windows and a red chest, but here's the difference, Sabr. What would be the justification for such a drastic change to Optimus Prime? That would be a weird change in color just for the sake of change itself. Changing part of Optimal Optimus' robot mode chest to gray is more of a logistical decision based on how the figure is a combination of two figures each with their own unique color schemes. The gray cockpit is part of Optimus Primal's new alt mode. Orion Pax and Optimus Prime essentially share the same color scheme, as do Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime. There is no reason to change Optimus Prime's chest to green or purple. Those chest window panels are ONLY part of Optimus Prime's robot mode. They aren't needed for Orion Pax's robot mode or the truck cab mode. In fact, they're just faux parts. These are not equivocal comparisons.

I just noticed something with this figure. If Primal's connection to Optimal works the way I think it does, wouldn't it be possible to remove Primal's backpack and connect it to Optimal, therefore having a backpack-less Primal (albeit without the ability to transform) and a complete Optimal at the same time?Sabrblade wrote:

It looks like that hinge (red circle on the image) is the only connecting point between Primal and his backpack. In theory, all you would have to do is knock out the pin (assuming that's what they've used), and you would be able to have them separate.Sabrblade wrote:...Poooooooooooosibly?Autobot N wrote:I just noticed something with this figure.

Actually, I think that might have been an interesting idea. It would have been kind of analogous to how Super and Ultra Megatron were to G1 Megatron, as opposed to how both of Optimus Primal's Transmetal upgrades were more akin to Galvatron instead. All they would have had to do was call it something other than "Optimal Optimus" and *boom* it's a whole new Super Robot form for a familiar character, rather than a new take on a preexisting form that's only "almost but only just not quite" there.Skritz wrote:You know, I still think this would have looked better had they decided to make the whole figure colored like Primal's first form.
....what?
I'm truly well aware that there would have been gnashing of teeth, rage and the cry of fanboys but frankly it had crossed my mind that this was a very real possibility until we finally saw pics and yes, it truly was colored like the original Optimal Optimus. While it would have been awfully inaccurate I do think it would have certainly produced a more unique and visually-pleasing figure.
