New Gallery: Generations Combiner Wars Ultra Prime

Meh...

No shots of his closed God Jinrai-esque chest?

Why.....?

Can't wait to have this whole line!

AAAAAAA MY EYES! MY EYES!

This is one FUGLY Transformer.

This made me went to my collection and review the Actionmasters - they are actually not too bad - it was an attempt to "G.I.Joe-fy"/M.A.S.K.-fy the Transformers, which is something I would commend Hasbro in trying something new and "dangerous". Sure, they weren't great or even sane. for that matter, but it was an attempt in doing something different.

This Combiner Wars Optimus is exactly the opposite of that spirit - this is Hasbro's way of playing it safe and secure their bottom line by exploiting the willingness of Optimus Prime worshippers to buy anything that resembles their idol when there is a rich history and universe of Transformers characters they could had easily use, or create a new character altogether to add to that rich history and universe.

Then again, that would make sense - we can't expect Hasbro to be brilliant all the time.

The figure would probably look better if it had its chest doors closed.

Nope. Combiner Wars is worse than the Action Masters. By the way, Action Master Elites are still, Action Masters.

the prime torso isnt as great, but its still neat. and im drooling over the thought of takaras version...

Pretty sure it's supposed to be closed for Ultra Prime and open for Menasor.
