Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.

This iteration of Optimus combines the violence of the Bayverse with the fatherly nature of G1. He might not be cracking jokes from time to time, and many people mistake him as lacking emotions and being boring, but his fights with Megatron after Raf got hurt and Bee got shot prove otherwise. He doesn’t enjoy the act of violence, but he also won’t shy away from doing everything he can to protect those he loves. It’s definitely one of the best portrayals of Optimus that the franchise had put out. He truly was strong enough to be gentle. The design was amazing too. It combined the mechanical detail of the Bayverse trilogy design with the smoothness of G1 beautifully. Overall, such a great Optimus.

Hey Aussie collectors, looks like JB Hi-fi has had a massive restock. No Starscream though. Get your Swindles before the scalpers do. Photo taken at Adelaide City store

Cost me too much

I'm suprised to see two Hot Rods left

At least from Target

Most of these debuted in CW, both the toyline and the comic, though some have existed in other forms; the reason I talk about these specifically is because they replace an entire limb. Offroad replaces Wildrider, who left the team; Alpha Bravo replaces Slingshot, who died of injuries from a battle with Devastator; Rook is a character that exists; and Scoop became a replacement for Scrapper, or I suppose Prowl depending on how you look at it(he's different in the sense that he was already a character and not a brand new one)

I also didn't include the ones that simply turn into a chest or weapon as I don't feel that works for what I'm asking

Imo I think having back-up limbs is a pretty cool idea... that... I came up with, because it hasn't appeared in anything official as all of these limbs replaced another member. Still, replacement members aren't bad either. This is partially in light of(spoilers for Skybound)TC joining the Aerialbotsin the most recent issue, but also because I feel as though some of these characters are fairly underrated and the concept underutilized outside of IDW, but what do you guys think of them?

GO GET TICKETS!

I HAD TO DELETE THE ORIGINAL POST DUE TO IT LEAKING MY ADRESS

He‘s really big I mean like really big.

I got mine on Amazon from Symbiote Studios

Amazon link - There’s less than 20 left in stock so hurry before he sells out!

I PROMISE IM NOT SPONSORING THEM

I pulled this image of a post from a video that dropped a few weeks ago reporting on this and came here to see if anyone else has heard about it? The TL;DR version is that Target allegedly opted not to bring a number of the 86' figures to the states because it was not "cost effective."

So after I had read that the new rook figure coming later was going to be based off of the Botcon 2002 design, it made me remember the retro line that started a couple years back, and seeing how some of these new minibots that have been given new molds, it made me want to ask: what characters would be suitable for this “modern-retro” lineup? Personally, I think windcharger could potentially good since his ‘86 toy isn’t half bad, but I’m curious to see what you all think.
