>>6594172>2007 Leader was the better toy.If the 07 Leader was remolded as a non-Movie design, just a nondescript modernized Optimus(mainly, remold the legs and toes, and shoulders, to make them seem less like movie kibble), I think he'd be one of the coolest modern Optimus designs; better than most of the IDW reimaginings, for example. He has a great blockiness and imposing presence, which quickly made him one of my favorite figures back in the day. I like Animated, but I do wish we got a line styled like Hasbro's original movie designs after 2007, like Wreckage, stockade, and the first attempt at mvoie characters in general. That blocky take on the movie aesthetic is just pleasing to me.
I still kinda wanna get the Nightwatch version to serve as a non-Optimus Prime for my other Primes collection. No idea who he'd be exactly, though.
