I'm not getting notifications so let's see if this works. I'm glad Prime is bigger, it looks really, really good.

That SS86 Optimus is pure PERFECTION. It's even better than the MP-44, especially for the price.
Everything is also of the RIGHT SIZE for the Generations scale.

I preordered him so hard!
Yes...
Hard. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I got lucky by randomly looking at my phone and saw something about the preorder. Initially i got mine preordered on TFSource, but was able to secure a preorder through Hasbro Pulse. I will keep both preorders for now..
If by chance the preorders sell out across all the sites and someone is wanting this, pm me. We can discuss further.

Is it? The hands look the same. But the eyes are yellow, and the nose is blue. The face looks different, The ears don’t look as wide

Still not sold on the backpack, it's too big and ugly. Wish they could have at least given it a vague jetpack shape or something other than a pile of randomly shaped folded panels. I'm a little concerned about the size, I know a lot of people wanted a taller Prime, but this feels maybe too tall. I guess I can see why they made Ultra Magnus so ridiculously oversized, but now I'm thinking the Dinobots are too small. #-o

Anyone want to share the Amazon pre-order at least? Even if it's sold out we can still wish list it or have it in our Amazon browsing history. Nevermind, Death posted it in the preorder thread: https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Stu?tag=seibertron07-20& ... 283&sr=8-1

The thing about Ultra Magnus that a lot of people don't realize is that he was a size-changer in the cartoon. Not as extreme as Megatron and Soundwave were, but when he transformed, he shrank when going from vehicle to robot mode. His truck cab was equal in size and shape to Optimus's, and his car carrier trailer was about the same size as Optimus's trailer; both of which were big enough to carry some of their smaller Autobot Car comrades. But in robot mode, the entirety of Ultra Magnus's combined cab-and-trailer robot mode was only a head taller than Optimus's cab-only robot mode.

So, it's a lose-lose situation when trying to make a toy of him: Either his vehicle mode ends up being too small in order to make his robot mode the right size, or his robot mode ends up being gargantuan (just like his original G1 toy) in order to make his vehicle mode big enough to accommodate Deluxe class Autobot Cars.

About making an SS86 Astrotrain that can change into a vehicle of the right size?
So that his... transport functions are movie accurate?

:-?

Evan has previously said that if they were to do a SS86 Astrotrain, it would likely just be a redeco of Siege Astrotrain, indicating that they care more about Astrotrain's robot mode scale instead (likely wanting to keep him and Blitzwing the same/similar height).

I love my ER Prime, but ooooooohhhhh this one fixes literally every single problem I had with that mold. I wonder if they'll do a single release like they did with Netflix OP.

the backpack is horrid, just as much as the mp-44 was. but the rest of it is spectacular imho. and not ridiculously overpriced for what you get. consider me sold.

So you want a toy that can Transform into a bot the equivalent size of Megatron, but can form a space shuttle big enough for SS86 Devastator to fit in it as well as almost the entire Decepticon cast? Yeah...laws of physics called...quoting Scotty...

No worries! I don't always read myself, sometimes it's difficult to find the time and it's easier to just ask

Pre-ordered mine on BBTS. He may not be perfect, but I still say they knocked it out the park.
