Lets say money was no object and you had the choice between...

Planet X Project Genesis (WFC not Omega Supreme)

or

Platinum Omega Supreme


Which one would you get?

If I had the $$$? Planet X Project Genesis.

With my budget? Probably end up with Platinum OS/

G1.

Love that base mode with the moving tank.

LOL. Unfortunately that's not a choice in the OP

Planet X Project Genesis, but only is BBTS listed it again

Well BBTS is not going to realist the Project Genesis, Captured Prey is not even going to offer it. Robot Kingdom is the only place offering Project Genesis. Plus with the Generations Platinum Omega coming out and with Planet X being a new 3rd party company. I do not think projects Genesis is going to be popular since GP Omega Supreme will be cheaper, I myself would rather have the GP Omega Supreme. Than a 3rd Party Omega from a new company that could end up having very bad QC problems, plus with the $300 price tag. I am very apprehensive about buying Project Genesis

I'd love to have Genesis, but the price is prohibitive and more than that, as others have stated, BBTS pulled the listing (I had him preordered until they did).

After Genesis is released I'll probably order one, I just don't want to pay in advance for something and then have to wait.

The hasbro one. I'm not a fan of 3rd party. Most 3rd party stuff I bought was ****.

Do we have a price on the upcoming Hasbro release yet?

Of the two, and assuming money is no issue, I'd get whoever's biggest.

I'm not normally one for the vintage/G1 stuff, but I also prefer the original Omega Supreme to these other two. Turning into an entire base is just so fun and whimsical, unlike... whatever it is the others are supposed to be. Spaceship-thing and train-thing.

Sonuva.............

Planet X looks a billion times better, but if he's a parts former then no way. I can do without an omega supreme if they're all gonna be parts formers.

Come to think of if money really WAS no object, I'd hire someone to make a Generations styled version of Animated Omega Supreme. And then a Movieverse styled version, just to see what I'd end up with.

Hmmm, thats a difficult decision... NOT!

Project X - Genesis!

This figure looks super duper!!

It would stomp all over anything Hasbro has tried (and failed) to do, from that awful G1 block-former to any rehashed/recoloured silly-bot from a few years ago.

I thought I could have lived with that Hasbro one, but the more I see of Genesis, the more I want him!

Now, wheres my cheque book?

Wow, I'm one of the few to pick the Platinum OS over the Project X Genesis one no matter the cost.

Mind you, I'm not saying that out "loyalty" to Hasbro, it's just that I consider 3rd Party items to be display pieces, and not toys. And I like fiddling with my toys a lot.

That didn't come out right, did it?

Hey, what you do in the privacy of your own home is your business .

I may actually end up getting both simply because the new deco and claw on the YotS version does look pretty sweet.

Being a big fan of the Energon seres, I'd have to go with YotS Omega Supreme. He's just an awesome awesome TF, and he can combine with YotS/Energon Optimus Prime, to make Omega Prime. The 3rd Party one can't do that.

But I have to admit it looks pretty awesome.

the 3rd Party one looks like it will be massive, any ideas what its size will accually be?

Genesis is the same size, as Hercules. If not a little taller, I would go after Genesis but there are too many factors that are telling me not to buy it. And while I do like the Energon Omega mold, I hope they took away the ability for fatassimus prime to combine with it.

Back to Genesis, I am actually waiting for Robot Kingdom, to drop the figure, as they are the only store now to be offering it

Cool....so how tall is Hercules lol?

Hercules is about the same size as Cybertron Primus

Ok, this is the claw:


This is Hercules:



Between the two, I actually think I would go for the Energon repaint.
Especially if the vehicle mode for Project Genesis looks like this:

There's no way that's the whole thing... o_O If it were, the claw would be half the mass of the entire thing! xD

Well, this is what the claw looks like compared to FoC Bruticus!



And one of the very early teasers, with FoC Optimus to compare.



(Should this thread move to the Third Party section?)

His limbs are worryingly thin from that that concept art. xD
