Gotta agree. His bot mode is bloody fantastic (though not a fan of face plate-less head) but that vehicle mode is a stretch...and I don't mean because of the length.

He is? To what?Kurona wrote:He's an amazing homage
Yeah, that altmode is a letdown, but at the very least, I kinda feel like the more uniform Takara deco makes the altmode look slightly less offensive than it looks with the Hasbro deco's use of a rather unappealing shade of white/gray.Kurona wrote:and an incredible robot mode, but the designers about 4/5 through development remembered "Oh SHIZZLESNIT, this guy's supposed to be a Transformer", and hastily folded him up into nothing and pretended it's a vehicle mode.
The former. This figure comes with its own Prime Decepticon Hunter that's of a different mold than the one included with OP Supreme Mode. And the last pic has simply it holding the Supreme Mode one.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Am I seeing things or does the sword from this figure and Supreme Prime combine somehow?

Really? I'm asking because something seems off with the hilt

Oh snap, wait, now I see what you see. In the last pic, right? It does look like the Supreme Mode one is plugged into the hilt of the Hyper Surge one. That's awesome.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:How so?chuckdawg1999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The former.

It's rotated differently from the other pics in relation to the blade. Also I thought the hilt was gray and chrome while this one looks black

Maybe it's just me, but I kinda see Thunderclash in the American one.
Is it just me? Am I crazy? Is my as-of-yet-unadvertised Thunderclash love getting the better of me?
But... Thunderclash didn't have wings. Or shoulder guns. Or a big sword. Or huge swirling shoulders. Or faceplate armor. Or a red long nose cab. Or a gigantic physique. Or frankly any of Optimus's colors in any of the places they appear on Optimus.Kurona wrote:Sabrblade wrote:He's so TALL!!!He is? To what?Kurona wrote:He's an amazing homage
