If you mean he's light – then yes he is flimsy feeling – probably due to him having such slim arms and hollow legs and chest.
It's all relative really though like when people joke about DOTM Deluxes being small but fail to notice that many Beast Wars Deluxes were a similar size *like Iguanus or TM2 Cheetor or TM2 Prowl*
But DOTM Deluxe Optimus is certainly lacking the heft of your average Energon Deluxe that's for certain. But if you put him next to Animated Arcee or Classics Mirage he doesn't seem slight so slight after all.

Cybertronian versus Unicronian.

Well, as it stands I could go out and grab him tomorrow with no problems… Besides the $30.00AU price tag.
Whereas, if I wait for the Big W Retail chain to get it's act together by the end of this month I can pick him up for $23.99AU – It's a small saving and well worth it to wait IMO.
That being said, I do very much want to get Jacky so will be waiting with great anticipation.
seekerblackout
Get Wheeljack first. He is so fun to mess with.
Hursticon
It's a very welcomed feeling after such an absence isn't it?
For me TF: Prime is having to wait, at least until a local Retailer gets it's act together , but in the mean-time I'm chasing a couple of leads on Animated Swindle.
SearchmanDS
I have to agree that Wheeljack great. Picked him up yesterday and I've been enjoying transforming him back and forth. It feels nice to be on the hunt again.
PurdueAV2003
Yeah, it's so simple, I wouldn't classify it as "automorph", but that's debating semantics.
At any rate, I still think his design fits more with what we saw in First Edition. Actually, I hope this means that the FE design team is also working on PRiD, and Wheeljack is good omen of things to come.
seekerblackout
Yeah, I just got him today and that's exactly what it is.
Vangelus
Technically I believe Wheeljack has an automorph head reveal, it's just very simple (the hinged push-reveal through his chest piece)
PurdueAV2003
A couple quick thoughts on PRiD Wheeljack:
To me, his overall feel is different from the other three deluxes in wave 1. He is missing the automorph that the other three have, besides the screen model accuracy. To me, I almost wonder if he was designed under First Edition, but that line got canned, so they moved him to the PRiD line. Something else to ask at the Hasbro panel at BotCon (if I was going, that is).
AxionPrime
Alright! Some love for RID. I loved that show. It's what got me into Transformers.
I will definitely support anything RID for recognition nominations.
Wingnut
Yes, I'm totally with Vangelus on PRID Wheeljack and am curious as to what his take will be on Soundwave when he gets him in his hands. I myself am not as impressed by Soundwave as others seem to be. I'm willing to accept I might be in the minority though. But Wheeljack rules indeed!
Fisitronus
Yup… thats all I have to say.
G1Wheeljack
Another great episode, I really enjoyed the Hall of Fame talk. I fully support bringing Daniel Riordan to a future Botcon . Also, Aaron's Lego talk has me wanting to buy a new building block set myself.

So I am assuming this is it:
AM-14 Decepticon Beacon
Code: TKT45258 Series: Transformers Prime
It says its on 'order stop'
Does this mean they are not getting anymore or thats their back order?
I really hope they get more cause I want to make this one the 'vehicon commander' and all the PRID ones the army cause they'll be way cheaper!
EDIT: Found this one:
First Edition Decepticon Beacon
Code: TKT43775 Series: Transformers Prime
looks like its discontinued, so much for that!
TrueNomadSkies
I just thought it was either a translation issue (these happen often because things that resemble real words in one language often get literally translated before names are official & end up staying that way on certain documentation) or playfully even a way of keeping the riff raff away, but that works too, especially if yelled in stereotypically thick (and ultimately inaccurately spat) accents.
Beacon's a cool name for a TFer, though.
SearchmanDS
I saw that the other day when I back-ordered a FE Bulkhead. It's like they were trying to say Vehicon really fast .
Sideways77
Drat. Once again referred to as 'someone' on the podcast… Touch luck, I guess.
Anyway, 6 Eradicons is insane. Maybe we can get a picture of all of them?
And good to hear Aaron is a Swindlite.
