>>10543480>Optimus is not known for super modes and should never have had one anywaysWell, I'm not against the idea, especially since it harkens back to the original diaclone toy, and I really do think modular armored robots are cool and a robot truck warrior that pulls around transforming super armor as a trailer is a rad as fuck concept and really makes the toy feel "complete" as opposed to him just dragging around an empty box.
It's just that this particular attempt doesn't appeal to me. I'm kind of bummed they never took the original prototype any further than this. It looks like it was designed with a super transformation in mind, and I think definitely handles the hips, torso, and overall proportions much better than the version we ended up with. Better headsculpt, too; the final version feels like they were too scared to deviate from G1 as much as they should have.
