Exclusive Blue Silverstreak only 9.99 CAD (7.38 USD) at Winners

Enticing!

I never found Sky Lynx for $50 in Winners when he was found there, but maybe I'll have better luck with Bluestreak. Though I still think the MP version with silver instead of white looks better, you can't beat $10!

Interesting, may have to visit my local Marshall's or even Ross when the missus gets her nails done.

Ross has leader starscream for 15$

Must be a regional thing but whenever I go into a Ross they have nada.

Yeah, in the states it's regional, whereas in Canada it's national (since that country is technically as populated as Texas)

When the upcoming Studio Series voyager Optimus Prime for Rise of the Beasts was unveiled, many were cautiously optimistic since there was no good view of the truck mode's back portion. It was all suspiciously obscured. Well, looks like fans called it correctly on this one, since the promo images we were given do show him in his best light. Not to say it's all bad, what's good is still good, but the back is not as clean as the previous version. We have a comparison below.

The 360 video and new images all come from the Target listing where you can currently preorder Prime for 33.99. This toy is a Target exclusive in the US.

SS Galvatron ptsd flashbacks

Urgh, that looks pretty bad in alt mode. But the bot mode is so good it might make up for it...

Also, is this the mold they're using for the JP-exclusive Nemesis figure?

Top-tier MTG reference, haha

Weirdly enough...I don't mind it. Maybe my brain's just warping it so it vaguely resembles the back end of some offroad rally truck's frame, to mesh better with the front end's bullbar. I've probably been playing to much Motorstorm, hah.

But the rest of it does look killer enough for me to not mind it. I didn't even mind Galvatron's rear hitch (or lack thereof) because of how clean the rest of it looked and how the robot mode result ended up.

Yeah that alt mode is anything than appealing. Though I don't display them in alt mode I still don't want it to be unsightly, and this one is. Bot mode is alright but not one I particularly like, but it is better looking than other Movie versions. That said I wouldn't mind this mold for Nemesis Prime as it looks different than my G1 OP and I was never into direct repaints depicting another Bot.

Good news is that they've already done that (ie used this mold for Nemesis).

Bad news is that it's Japanese exclsuive, tied to a really specific promotion from the sounds of it:

I was wrong!

I really want this for the bot mode, but I really don't want this for the alt mode. What to do...

No, the exclusive Nemesis Prime figure uses the BB movie mold.

Have this one is bot mode and have the previous SS BB Prime in alt mode.

While I don't like the back, my main issue with the toy is that it goes out of its way to have the "fins" behind the exhaust pipes in robot mode but they are fake kibble because they dissapear for alt mode. And it's doubly unfortunate since those would have helped hide a portion of the kibble when viewed from the side.

I remember people complaining about the back of SS Bee Movie Prime's truck mode not looking clean. Eh, perception is in the eye of the beholder or something like that.

Compared to the previous truck, it wasn't that clean.
Then came those who just didn't gives a fuk like SS AoE Galvatron and that Optimus.

It isn't clean, but this one is worse

If it was ment to be a clean looking truck in the first place I'd be annoyed by the back, but with the given design I'm perfectly fine with the way it turned out.

Emerje

got my preorders in for that prime, and I am looking forward to him. Pretty amazing how different he ends up being from the BBM Prime.

Also, I really appreciate the sword on this one, given it can go forearm or hand held

Managed to win Fangry. He's pretty nice, although I'll probably be getting the upgrade set for him. Until then, he can have the TR Titan Master vehicle as a gun.
