Tis one of those questions though. Visually similar characters are a mainstay of the story, but there has to be a reason in the fiction why there are quite so many jets that look alike. Why do so many business folk all dress in nearly identical suits?

For the same reason Scienticians wear white coats: because they know they're meant to.

And I have now Nemesis and Optimus. So my DIY G2 Optimus is complete.
Also now have Elita (whom I like a bit better than arcee), Bumblebee, and Soundwave. Elita and Bee I found in store before Walmart fulfilled my preorders. And cheaper.

Okay so. Bumblebee is immediately like favorite version of this mold, and easily the top two best updates of g1 bumblebee.
My only disappointment is he can't do something the sedan version can. Cliffcapbite can have the rear end turned upside down on it's back and imitate the throttlebot hood. Bumblebee can't really do that (well, he can. But it looks terrible).
Soundwave is as close to perfect as it can get. Kinda crappy that it's an exclusive (I think he and Bumblebee were planned for Earthrise, but were slotted for the cancelled waves). So I hope it gets a few reissues and repaints so anyone who wants it can get it without much hassle. And after that? I hope this fandom can finally move on from Soundwave as a Cassette Player.
Don't really have much to say about Optimus. Love the mold. Love the colors.

How...does it make sense? -Ralph G1 Megatron powered up with armour that looks like a clear boned version of his BW form in his BW colours? Tip of the hat too to how BW Megatron became TMII Megatron. All over that!

The G2 Megs was the ER mould, not the Siege one.

This is probably the only way I'd re-buy that Siege Megatron (as per my above post), if this is the set that has the black helmet, as well as that clear purple Paleotrex. Actually going to hold off on buying a standard Paleotrex for now, until we know more about the set, because I'd rather have a clear purple one than the standard one. A risk, of course, but if I end up with no Paleotrex then so be it...

The G2 Megs was the ER mould, not the Siege one. You make a valid point - I am currently quite tired. In which case, I don't have that mold yet, so please be a black helmet along with the purple T-Rex. Please!

It's very easy to confuse those two Megs moulds! There's not much difference!

So I gotta absorb a weird barricade (what, the fourth? Third?) In order to get purple Paleotrex?

The Barricde is presumably the Netflix dlx version. Apparently the seeker has a similar Sparkless Rust Zombie Deco
Paleotrex is in the Spoiler box with Megatron - I *think* it's meant to represent BW Megatron and this is G1 Megatron powered up by his BW version instead of vice versa!

Okay, definitely waiting for that Paleotrex/Megatron box set now - very much like the look of that. Although it isn't very bone-like in colour, I know. But still...

I think it's quite neat, and an inversion of what happened in the BW cartoon
