This bring's me back to youheidx from just one single video dragged me into the super sentai fandom the power ranger's fandom the kamen rider fandom and the ultraman fandom such fond memories
The Titan’s Return/ Generations Optimus Prime’s feel like wasted opportunities. The Titan/ headmaster theme is lost. It would’ve be awesome if a new head was made as a new version of Orion Pax that when combined with the cab; became Optimus Prime complete with the Matrix of Leadership. And then have a Super Convoy mode when combined with his trailer and having Ginrai/ Jinrai linked up in his engine block mode in some practical way for the combination rather than just sit there for decoration. And roller could’ve been included as a supporter who can ride in the trailer or pull it and have a robot mode of his own with Apex as his head and combine in a way to add better stability. The trailer could’ve had supports where the trailer would rest on the cab or on Roller for both Trailer Mode and Base Mode. HiQ could’ve been a triple-changing weapon master with a gun mode and a sword mode both for Super Convoy. And Bomber could’ve had an added design to help emulate the effect of Optimus having been revived as Star Convoy. And as a added bonus; Optimus Prime while on his own could combine with four others from the Prime Wars Trilogy that form arms and legs which is a gimmick that many people wanted to see happen with Titan/ headmasters and kind of received in the form of Bomber. And as an added gimmick for combination; when his chest is open to reveal the Matrix of Leadership; a specialized barking of the Enigma of Combination (with the mark of the Thirteenth Prime Engraved into it) could be flipped out to go over the Matrix with a simple yet practical use of its own. I know the list of things I just said here is a lot and sorry for the lack of spacing paragraphs (the device I am using rarely allows me to do so), but these are things that could be done. The set could’ve been sold in three seperate packages and then in one to two special gift packs. Especially if Hasbro and Takara Tomy didn’t appear to often be in some sort of competition with each other over who can develop the better toy or whatever. And there are so many versions of each characters for each size scale that it’s just stupidly clear that they cannot make wise decisions.. There is a MP Optimus Prime that is the same size as the Kingdom/ Legacy Core Optimus Prime and comes with mostly the same exact stuff that the deluxe Core Pack that the Legacy version of Core Optimus comes in with his Trailer, Roller, and Bumblebee but without Bumblebee. Instead that MP Optimus comes with Sideswipes Rocket Pack (anyone else remember that it was originally Sideswipes?), some kind of stand, and OH YEAH! A bunch of different hands like we really need more non-articulated hands (balled fists a weapon can fit into are just fine for crying out loud!). I think there was one other thing, but I forgot. I’ve seen it at a shop and the shopkeeper was willing to drop the price a bit. He’s had it for a long time so either nobody is interested, or have other things they want to prioritize over that. I’m not saying all MP figures are bad by the way, I just mean that in a general sense; people want to defend these two companies and say they are on a budget. Some budget! Just how many versions came out in nearly one go for the “Rise of the Beasts” film alone!? And that isn’t even all nor is Optimus Prime the only one. Another painful example is WFC Ultra Magnus. There are how many versions of the same mold? I have the Spoiler Pack version which seems to be an in between from his less war worn down look to his looking a bit overcooked from shockwaves torture methods. There are even the games like Earth Wars which is basically a game version of the Legacy toyline that includes different models of various characters in it and recently: both Legacy Metalhawk and Bomb-Burst were released as ‘rivals’ from an alternate universe. And no I didn’t really spoil much since you still have to look up the story to learn about that. I think Skullgrin was supposed to have been Metalhawks rival and would’ve been a good candidate given what the current segment of the story is at and could have included two more Autobots and two more Decepticons, but development is a pain so many characters that have toys; haven’t been added. But enough of that.. Again; just a lot of potential flushed down the drain. And again; sorry for the long post with almost none, if any, spaces between paragraphs.
