there are no fembots in the IDW universe. Arcee was an experiment by jiaxus.

Actually, Elita-One/Ariel appears in this frame of Megatron Origin #3 at Bumper and Fastback's funeral. This is probably just a cameo though, but she's still there nonetheless, so I'm not sure if it would be considered relevant or not. Make of it what you will...

I think that's artistic license (similar to Fat Albert and the Cosby kids appearing in Kingdom Come) as that's clearly supposed to be Elita-1, Optimus/Orion, with Alpha Trion… though there are definitely continuity/design errors in IDW-universe such as bad-ass War Within looking Orion Pax on pre-Civil War Cybertron then a less imposing-looking (but still nicely designed) Optimus Prime in the early days of the Civil War…

Think of it as a Waspinator butt. But yeah, it would probably look better folded up, though I wonder how it's even attached. What actually bugs me (because I'm nitpicky design-wise) it that Optimus' shoulders in robot mode are impossible in vehicle mode considering the markings and shape even with arm and stack/cannon rotations, the blunt corners (or rectangular markings) are in the wrong corners, Also can't figure out where headlight/fender parts (that would be at the sides of the waist if not completely transformed) go in robot mode.
Dr. Heavy B wrote:the arms are simple. fold the shoulders back like G1 optimus, then rotate the smokestacks down. as for the fender/headlights, all i can think of is somekind of back kibble and a rotating waist

Gross!
So what was your fourth thought?

wings may be part of the trailer

Um, it's Nova Prime. The wings are definitely part of the trailer and yeah, the legs are very reminiscent of Energon Rodimus.
Thank you. I'm glad I wasn't the only who noticed that. that whole pre war Cybertron "Orion Pax being built like Optimus before the War while in Blurr Spotlight Optimus looked more like 'Orion Pax'" had me scratching my head....NemesisMonkeySupreme wrote: though there are definitely continuity/design errors in IDW-universe such as bad-ass War Within looking Orion Pax on pre-Civil War Cybertron then a less imposing-looking (but still nicely designed) Optimus Prime in the early days of the Civil War…
