But I AM impressed that it includes a Powermaster figure. I was not expecting that.

I didn't care much for the robot mode, but that was also incomplete and didn't have finishing touches.
I'm impressed.

First, on the back of the trailer, you can see the oversized WFC KO double jointed knees, and, I'm pretty sure, those are TFX-03 City Commanders shoulder launchers with gun barrels instead of rockets. I'm goin back to look at more pics to see just how much of this is original design...
Yea, the missile launchers are really similar, but it looks like the barrels extend for bot-mode.
If oyu take a look at the bot-mode, you can see that the double-jointed kneees are in fact the bot-mode arms.
But looking at the bot-mode again, it looks like the legs transform similar to WFC Prime's legs.

Oh btw to those who is asking for a reasonable price? Are you joking? All 3rd party stuff are ALL unreasonable. The only reason people buy them is because they know HasTak wont ever make them in the near future. For crying out loud Hercules cost 500$++. That is the price of 10 Leader class. I can assure you this guy would cost atleast 100$. So yeah have fun with that xD.
PS : And if you think 100$ is reasonable, think again. 100$ for a trailer that can become a MP-sized bot,in which case it doesnt even have a Leader class's quality standard.

I liked Grand Patriot, too. Mine's using the alt head and is now playing the part of Classics Bulkhead(he's a big green military grade vehicle, it made perfect sense to me).

Between getting a G3 trailer for classics Prime, a City Commander trailer for classics Ultra Magnus, and a Tanker trailer for G1 Optimus (Nemesis) Prime, as well as stickers from repolables, I think I'm gonna be down about $300. I also plan on grabbing a Defender, Scouting FOrce, and whichever 3rd party Arcee I can find. Maybe about $500 right there. Unless HasTak comes out with a classics Springer and Arcee soon then that sounds about right. Too much money for things like these. Eh, I can make more and spend it again. That's how the economy works!

Legitimate question here - Is your constant bashing against all 3rd party products due to their price, quality, the fact that they're not Has/Tak or something else?

I skipped out on the last tank-Prime GI Joe crossover they did, though it looked OK as well.
If I trip over a stack of hundred dollar bills, I'd consider it.

Same here, I only balked on Patriot because most vendors were forcing us to buy both versions.

Understandable. I was lucky enough to have a friend who loves Optimus to split the set with.

From the reveal, TF-01 is able to combine with multiple version of Optimus Prime, such as G1 Optimus Prime, Classics/Henkei Optimus Prime as well as G1 Powered Master Optimus Prime (front cab).

Very much so.
Am I going to blow my load on the first one to roll out the factories?
Nope!
I'm impressed with the flexibility of Optimus' this piece can accomodate. (Very impressed that one of them is voyager Classics Optimus. Didn't expect that.) I just can't see this guy fitting well with the rest of my Classics collection. It's like the G1 PM OP with better articulation, and I think it'd look like a 7 year old's crayon drawing compared to the degree level technical drawings of most Classics and 3rd party figures.
This is an expensive hobby, and I can't justify spending money on something that doesn't immediately shove it's hand down the front of my trousers and leaves me sore downstairs for the rest of the day as soon as I lay eyes on it.
P.S. Does anyone else think that the sides of the trailer mode are suspiciously absent in robot mode?

Seriously? You relate seeing a toy to getting a hard on? What are we twelve on this forum?
This kind of talk really bothers me on here. Have some respect for not only yourself, but for others around you.
This isn't a Judd Apatow movie. Not everybody in real life talks that disgusting.

I actually thought the comment was funny as hell !!!
Sodan-1 isnt known for having a sense of humor often so I welcome his sarcasim. Ive been on a mission to make these forums more fun for years. It doesnt have to be boring...

It's armor. Just like the original Powermaster Optimus. Cab becomes the standard robot and the trailer becomes armor that can only be used while in vehicle mode.

No, it doesn't have to be boring. But, it doesn't have to be perverted either. I like playful jabs and making funny comments as much as the next person, but that wasn't even funny to me.
I live a life where I laugh and crack jokes all day. Not once though do I, my family or coworkers talk like that. Of the 80 people I work with, not one person talks like that. Of the friends I have, not one talks like that.
Posted by Requiem Prime on March 14th, 2012 @ 9:38am CDT
I'll bump it up to a maybe. When are we going to get a decent Classics version of Powermaster Prime?
