Bent smokestacks on the packaging artwork? Way to go Hasbro!

Haha, I just noticed that too, guess somebody wasn't paying close attention, or just didn't care that day.

I like that they packaged him in robot mode, helps it stand out a little more in comparison to past movie voyager Primes.

Why doesn't hasbro give us Buster Prime instead? Something actually worth purchasing.

"Buster Optimus Prime only has the extra gun. Our new Leader Class has new face-ripping hooks, which is way cooler"

I could see Hasbro saying that.

I think i might pick this one up. I wont be getting the leader version any time soon so this looks like it could be a good replacement. It has the faceplate (thank you hasbro), blades, looks like the leader class and comes with the "matrtix" all for $20-$23. Id say thats worth it.

Wait. They say he not "particularly skilled," and then say that he is very skilled.
THAT MAKES NO SENSE!!

lol they would say that. Fine, give us a leader class grinder with a face that rips off when Optimus's hooks are inserted. Make sure it is a toys r us exclusive and in limited production. Please don't forget to repaint this mold into blackout and whirl. Please put him an exclusive two pack with some figure I don't want either but you guys overproduced anyway. That cool with Hasbro?

Hey, is that his face hanging on that wall?

I love how due to copyright they have to add Autobot/Decepticon to all the names. It just makes me wonder what a modern cartoon would have to sound like...

"Ha ha! I've got you now, Decepticon Banzaitron!"

"Perhaps! But you're forgetting one thing, Autobot Battle Blades Optimus Prime!"

"What's that, Decepticon Banzaitron?"

"That right behind you Decepticon Bludgeon and Decepticon Ravage are ready to attack! Taste our Decepticon Fury Attack! Die, Autobot Battle Blades Optimus Prime!"

"Gah! You're no match for me, Decepticon Banzaitron, Decepticon Bludgeon and Decepticon Ravage! I, Autobot Battle Blades Optimus Prime will defeat you!"

Etc.

In my mind, this new series is voiced by the cast of the English-dubbed Headmasters series. Soon, Sparkle will come and the battle will be over.

The toy looks pretty neat, though. I think the departure from the usual mold is the biggest relief - this one looks better than anything, Leader or otherwise, in the first movie XD

If you watched Animated, you'd see that the "Autobot", "Decepticon" and other prefixes prefixes are omitted in the show.

And it's trademarks!

Trademarks, shmademarks. I know what I said! And it was exactly what you think I thought you wanted me to say.

Also, I did watch Animated I just think it'd be funnier if they kept it in. Also, with Sparkle.
