This all would have been more appealing if the new G2 Optimus Prime toy had been a Voyager. He just looks too small for this armor.

 

I'm still waiting for someone to make a Wingblade Optimus upgrade for Classic Voyager Prime. Seems like that would be much cheaper and easier to do. Just make some wings and guns for the toy that fold up into a small trailer.

I wouldn't mind having this, but with the holidays, the TFC Dev's and just life in general, this may have to be a pass if it creeps past 50-60 bucks.

It makes RTS G2 Prime look like a little boy in a costume that's too big for him.

 

I would have been content with a transformable trailer and "laser" sword for Optimus Prime. The trailer as armor seems like overkill.

Still nothing on BBTS or RK about actual Price. Even though I know they put it out already. BBTS and RK will decide their own Price points for it

 

Looks good though, but for me the price will determine

Hmm, wasn't MakeToy's Seaspray and Powerglide supposed to be out already? So with the announcement for this we should be hearing something on those soon also.

Just went over to MakeToy's website and it's changed..but it now has a picture of their new mystery figure they are working on. While looking at it, I noticed it has Powerlink peg's on it. Just hope they aren't that awful bright blue that was on the figures originally.

I like how the trailer looks, but as an armor it seems out of place.
