Honestly if you ask me, there doesn't seem to be enough conversation to warrent two Super7 threads.
Heck, I'd even suggest merging all three into a generic Transformers Action Figures thread. But I can see where that would be more confusing than convenient.

I feel like this line misses it's greatest potential to do something actually different.
Aside from one TFP and two BW entries, it's just following in step exactly what they're doing with Generations (sunbow focused), Masterpiece (sunbow focused), S7 Re:Action (sunbow focused), S7 Ultimates (mostly sunbow focused), and just about every other licensed toyline (usually sunbow focused).
But the biggest thing they could have done is focus on other specific artist renditions.
Instead of generic Optimus Prime, Geoff Senior's PM Optimus Prime.
Instead of generic Prowl, Andrew Wildman's Prowl.
Alex Milne's Rodimus, EJ Su's Starscream, Sarah Stone's Windblade, and so on.
That just feels to me like it would be so much more interesting.
(Apart from being the only feasible way to get proper pretender shell updates)

Can you imagine a whole line based on Su's designs? Man, that'd be... like over a decade too late, but still awesome. |

Su's designs have been cruelly overlooked by Hasbro and 3P. Earthmode TF's have never looked as good. I still yearn for a toy of his Bumblebee design.

The Bumblebee movie Bumblebee is kind of the closest we've gotten to that... but still not close enough. And given that none of the toys really match the screen design anyway, yeah, we're still waiting.

I do like the look of that Primal.

I mean, Primal doesn't look bad, to my mind he doesn't look any better than the Kingdom Primal - which also converts.

So far I've been able to pick up this line as every release drops to half price or less after not too long. They're a bit rubbish though. Why am I buying them?

Oh I need me that Ultra Magnus.
I miss those white optimus UM repaints.
Torn on Knockout. I wanna support anything not Sunbow worship, but Knockout was my second least favorite reality defying designs in TFP (Bulkhead was the worst).
But also this is the first time there's been an accurate version of him, and the only way a show accurate version is possible.

They really should have given him some new accessories.
Get rid of that axe, and swap out the optimus gun with Magnus's

Why is it that looks really good, yet the Prime really doesn't?

It's been so long since we had one that I've become nostalgic. White Primes come from a simpler, gentler time.

We each feel nostalgia in our own way, young Pinwig. Nostalgia is as nostalgia does.
(How any Transformers fan can feel nostalgia for the Nostalgia Killing Movie is very confusing, but then The Doctor is very strange.)
