I'm in the same boat.... I'll be happy with my red Prime and his '84 limbs.

I'm actually disappointed that I didn't know white Prime was coming before I committed to getting red Prime. I try not to "Over Prime" and Whitie would have been a cool anomaly for the collection. I too will be happy with Red an '84 limbs, as that's how my 10 year old brain always imagined it.
The only thing that might tip the scale is if Maximus gives off a heavy Thunderclash vibe.

Heavier than the last attempt?



Also, the red prime is the way to go for anyone who cares in any way of having their toys represented in the fiction (or vice versa)

I never noticed that before, so Thunderclash right there!

Did the regular Voyager Beast Hunters mould ever get that redeco done?

Everyone needs a Thunderclash in their collection!

Nope.

Don't forget, the original rumor from Venksta said that Optimus Maximus would have a new headsculpt for his standard robot mode (leaving the combiner head the same, though).

I did!
Thanks for reminding me. *tune slowly changes*

Drat!
Back to my Lazy Custom Thunderclash then, its a WIP yet to be revealed!

Unless of course someone surpises us with this guy?

Oh! That looks nice!

I can see the Club doing that, with a new head.

Oh I would have snatched that little gem right up had I ever seen him. Wasn't he a Canadian exclusive like the good Magnus?

Ha! I just saw what you did with my name there. And no, he wasnt exclusive to canada. I thought you had him for some reason. He was exclusive to Target though, as part of Predacon rising, the very same line that gave us Prime Skylynx and that clear plastic abominus (which you would love!). Here is the link to the entire exclusive line which the states had. Lucky for Canada, this all happened when Target was still around. Good times...

For me, at least, it just isn't something that I want, no matter what it looks like. The mold is not my favorite, and I don't need a third iteration of it after Optimus Prime and Motormaster. It doesn't represent any character in fiction that I have an interest in. I can't see any reason why I should have any interest in this toy.

Your mileage may vary.

Fellow UK Seibertronian Crankcase79 brings us another update from the grey shores this side of the Atlantic, confirming what collectors knew, deep inside, to be true. In an unsurprising but still disappointing bout of retail logic, Hasbro has confirmed the following (thanks to Transformers Addicts Facebook group user David Polwarth: Wave 1 of Combiner Wars? No problem! Wave 3? Yeah, hitting stores between now and July! Wave 2: lol, nope. Read on below for the actual reply from Hasbro UK, and offer a shoulder to the Disgruntled Brits - and probably the rest of European distribution for now, too - in solidarity.
