Dirty Knees Prime needs a Starscream with a muddy undercarriage.

Nope. Did the Netflix repaints get released in Japan? This might just be their equivalent.

Some of these make a lot of sense. The movie line editions.
BB Optimus was a rare mold. Difficult to get. Giving it a premium deco makes sense. Bumblebee, I don't think ever had a ratty deco? If it did it was a limited exclusive.
But their choices here for the non movie is just... taking the most common readily available Siege molds and either doing exactly what's been done already for a larger price, or actively making them look worse.
The one consistency with WfC, siege particularly, is everyone seems to really want "clean" versions. But that seems to be the only thing neither Hasbro or Takara is willing to provide.

Yep, this makes no sense at all. The only possible benefit that could come from this is if they ever put out the other see- attack jets, which might give people a chance to finally get some of the difficult-to-get characters. But they won’t.

Is this going to be a Nemesis repaint of the last premium movie Prime?

Post by Philip Ayres on Feb 9, 2022 21:20:25 GMT
Nope This is a improved movie-accurate redeco of the Studio Series SS-05 Voyager Revenge Of The Fallen Optimus Prime mold. The figure includes the two blades of the original release plus 2 ion blasters which came originally with SS-32 and SS-44 Optimus Prime toys. hobby.dengeki.com/news/1459066/ |

Once again a weird choice in this line. Going with the inaccurate version of the mold, for the more accurate deco.

Megatron's beast mode kills it, but so little else has changed that it won't be worth it to me.
Man, that says something about the wealth of BW releases, that I can now be so picky I don't even feel tempted by this one!

I mean, if I didn't have the original Kingdom releases this might be tempting. But they're just not different enough. Grumpy monkey Primal is almost tempting, but not worth the price of getting the entire set.
I'm actually surprised that TT haven't done a Burning redeco of that Primal mold. They did with the Masterpiece, eventually, but not yet here...

My packaging goes in the recycle bin (nowhere to store it) so no temptation for me.
Besides, you know this will be £90-100.
