Arise, Transformers_ Age Of Extinction Optimus Prime

While everyone was busy politely arguing over the teaser trailer for Transformers 4: Dino Riders, Hasbro put the first toy for the fourth film in the franchise up for sale. What do you think of Transformers: Age of Extinction First Edition Optimus Prime?(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; rummy best cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/new-transformers-movie-somehow-looks-worse-than-the-las-1514556000 This version of the Autobot leader, available in limited quantity through Amazon for $59.99, continues the movie figures’ proud tradition of a robot with a truck cab backpack. His skin is crammed with tiny details, which helps draw attention away from the obvious truck bits. I’m a little put off by the fact that the figure has alien insect feet paired with sculpted humanoid sword-holding hands. If we’re going to evolve human features we should really commit rummy golds from head-to-toe. The movie bots have shown amazing versatility as far as the items they can transform into, so why not just reformat their bodies into something a bit less alien? I tell you why. Pride. Hubris. Trucks. That’s fine vehicle form, really — there’s no looking at that and thinking it’s anything other than a truck with a blazing shield strapped on the back. I like to poke fun at the Michael Bay movies, but I’ve grown to appreciation this form of Optimus Prime, even if I haven’t enjoyed the films and tend to avoid the toys. To an entire generation, this is sort of what Optimus Prime looks like, if you squint realy hard. Transformers: Age of Extinction First Edition Optimus Prime is a figure no dedicated Transformers collector should miss. That’s rummy mars because Hasbro decided this special edition is number 14 of the “Thrilling 30” line of 30th anniversary celebration ‘bots. Should I bite the bullet and buy, or give up my dream of collecting all 30 figures?
