Why does that matter? Smokescreen didn't turn out looking anything like his Arms Micron toy, and that was made (while not released) way before he appeared on Prime. Models change, it's a part of the development.
And like I said before, they probably changed it to Optimus' model to save money for another guy joining us in the third season.

What are you talking about? That comic is a direct prequel to the cartoon's third season (while simultaneously serving as a sequel to the Fall of Cybertron video game, helping to bridge the gap between the game and cartoon).Rated X wrote:I never knew TF Prime had a comic that had nothing to do with the cartoon.

Money. It cost a lot of money to fully render anything in CGI to the detail required by TF: Prime.

I guess thats why there was such a small amount of characters in Beast Wars. Im no fan of CGI. I wish they would go back to old school animation so we get a greater amount of characters.

2. why use the inferior prid mold rather than the first edition mold?
3. in any case this is not bad exactly just weird.

/agree
more new ultra magnus will soften the wait for the inevitable MP Ultra Magnus
2. why use the inferior prid mold rather than the first edition mold?
There is no FE UM...unless you're referring to BH UM's lower torso and legs. In which case, they used the PRiD Optimus mold because that's what the art looks like. Also, the legs of PRiD Prime are the entire back of the truck, so it was probably easier to mash the two molds together using those legs, keeping in mind that the upper torso and arms of BH Optimus are NOTHING but the cab (and cage-thing) of the truck.
mbd88prime wrote:But then,i just had this thought, considering that any toy they produce has probably been in the works for a long time its possible that the prid op exists solely because the had to redisign it to accomodate um add on bits. in other words that was the whole point of the mold to begin with and rather than um being the half-assed repaint that gets more money out of the op mold this time op is the half assed repaint (compared to fe prime) that gets more money out of the um mold! ha. idk. it is what it is.

But for me, the only thing that would top the CC add on is an integrated Ultra Magnus, like the original RID Maggy or the Titanium Maggy. Something like that with the articutlated trailer of DOTM Megs would be killer. Trailer armor is cool, but optionsl add on, and i just like integral Magnusesesesesii...
