  1. Best Official Toy: Combiner Wars Prowl. ( He just looks so nice, especially when you compare him to the rest of his team. )

     

    Best News Item: Combaticon Awareness Week. ( I just though it was very interesting to remind myself of all the good and bad that a Bruticus had to offer throughout the years. )

     

    Best Toy Reveal: Masterpiece Optimus Primal ( As someone who doesn't currently collect Masterpiece figures and is a huge fans of Beast Wars, I am excited for this. I home it turns out well. )

  2. I'm actually pretty excited about this. While, I do understand that third-party figures have created better Constructicons in the past, that doesn't mean that this is a bad figure. Yes, some of the robot modes are a little... off, but we knew the robots modes were going to be simplified, and I'm ok with that. I'm probably going to be displaying him in his combined forumanways, so as long as he hold together and stands just fine, I'm ok with paying one-third of the price to get this Devastator, because even while the third-party options are probably better figures, they are NOT worth three times the price, to me anyways.

  3. Well, I think most of us saw this coming, although the other 95% of people who will watch TF5 didn't, and probably will have no idea about the Quintessons and will probably be upset that Optimus Prime dies. ( Though he did return later in the series, but then again, I don't think the general public will be too happy about ( or even aware while ) waiting for TF6 for Optimus to come back. ) This is going to be interesting to see how everyone who isn't aware of the 1986 film reacts...

  4. So, basically, I am having a predicament on which deco of the Evasion Mode Voyager Optimus Prime Mold I should get. I am considering any Hasbro version, including Multi-packs, but I'm not importing anything from Japan, because I don't think that that mold alone is worth the cost of Importing. So far, Hasbro currently has 5 different repaints that we know about for this mold. I have set up a poll in this thread, and you can choose more then one if you feel the need to. If you are not aware of all of these repaints, here's a list of them below:

     

    #1 The "standard" Evasion Mode Optimus Prime:

    http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/transformers-age-of-extinction-generations-voyager-class-evasion-mode-optimus-prime-figure?BR=496&SBR=417&ID=32983

    This one is the first release of the mold and it currently out in stores now. Personally, I don't mind the blue shoulders as much as everyone else seems to be, but I was holding out on getting this one because of the next one.

     

    #2 The Platinum Edition Optimus Prime and Grimlock two-pack:

    http://www.kmart.com/hasbro-transformers-age-of-extinction-generations-voyager-class/p-004W008035584001P?prdNo=9&blockNo=9&blockType=G9

    Now this is actually the main reason that I was holding out on getting the "standard" Evasion mode Optimus Prime, as well as Grimlock. I personally really like the chrome on both much better than the "standard" release, but as you can see in the link to K-mart, he is priced at $60, which is a bit higher then I would prefer to spend on two voyager figures, even with the chrome. Also, the main reason I created this thread was because I saw option #5, which I will get to soon, which has made me very tempted to get that instead of this...

     

    #3 The Optimus Prime Evolutions Two-pack:

    http://tformers.com/age-of-extinction-optimus-prime-evolutions-two-pack-new-images/23509/news.html

    Now, this is a weird one for me, because although i think that this repaint of the Evasion mold is the least appealing to me, I really REALLY want that classics Optimus. You have no idea. I was planing on selling the Evasion Optimus from that two-pack, but if you think that this deco isn't as bad as I say it is, vote on it to let me know.

     

    #4 The Breakout Battle Three Pack:

    http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=view&album=23900&pic=Botcon+2014+Hasbro+Booth+Age+of+Extinction+Display+%28192%29.JPG&dispsize=600&start=80&sl=botcon-2014-age-of-extinction-updates-in-the-hasbro-display-case

    Announced at BotCon, this is an interesting Repaint because it is the closest we've seen this mold look to how he was in the film, even better then the Takara version. He does however come in a three pack with Rollbar, who is based off of Shane's car in the film, ( Almost exactly screen accurate ) and the mold is from the Generations Skids, and then we have Vehicon, who is based off of James Savoy's vehicle that he chased Shane's car in the movie, as well as the mold is from the DOTM Crankcase. Now, I do have both Skids and Crankcase in my collection, but I actually don't mind getting Rollbar, as I might just keep his displayed in vehicle mode, I do however, didn't like the Crankcase mold, mainly because my legs were so loose, but we're not here to talk about them. If you think I should go for a more rusty, screen accurate, Optimus Prime, then vote for him and let me know.

     

    #5 The Platinum Edition Autobots United 5-pack.

    http://tformers.com/botcon-2014-transformers-4-age-of-extinction-exclusive-multi-packs-and-deluxe-hot-shot-promotional-photos/23895/news.html

    Now, this has really REALLY tempted me into waiting for this. For one, I do not own Hound, Drift Bumblebee or Crosshairs molds from this pack, and they all look like they are painted up really well, including Optimus. I'm even tempted to stay that I like this deco better then the Platinum Edition with Grimlock deco. One thing that I am curious about is the price on this set. At the moment, if I were to buy the regular rental versions of these molds, ( two voyager molds, and three deluxe molds ) The price would be $95 before tax ( ($25x2)+(15x3) so seeing this set retailed at $100 would not be surprising, but I would prefer to see this set a bit cheaper, but regardless of price, let me know if the Optimus in this pack looks as great as I think it is by voting.

     

    That's all the decos that Hasbro will be repainting this mold into that I am aware of. If I missed one let me know. As for the poll I will probably keep it open for a while, at least a month or so, and I look forward into seeing what you all this is the best choice for me. Thanks in advance for your opinion!

  5. Oh wow. I did not even realize that the Armada Megatron was a Retool of the IDW version. I really want to get both, but I don't like getting two Transformers with similar molds. ( Although I was perfectly happy with the Generations Springer and Sandstorm sharing the simular molds. ) I might be leaning more towards the Armada Megatron, since I think a leader IDW figure is a bit too big for scale with the other Generations figures that I have ( Although I'm perfectly fine with Jetfire since he is suppose to be bigger. ) but this is all just my opinion.
