I was today years old when I found out that Ironhide had cannons and was a black truck in 2007.

Don't feel so bad, I didn't even notice he had a sword in AoE. How do you think I feel?

I mean I obsess over Bay Prime and I didn't notice. I only noticed the truck parts in his AOE robot mode but didn't analyze his sword. Ha.
Shmoptimus Prime
I meant "we" as in us nerds who obsess over these things haha
Well it's easy to notice in TLK but if you didn't obsess over the design from the aoe days then you could be forgiven for not knowing that it was a change from one movie to the next.

Yes they added the stupid circular talisman knight thing like we wouldn't fucking notice. The first time you see Optimus it has a huge closeup of the sword handle.

the sword design changed between films????

I wish those Knight Optimus would be as good as their rotb one. That figure actually had an excess of accessories, it only needed to have an orange ax but instead they gave two which are the modes on and off, they didn't need to give two canons but they did so you could display him with the weapon in any side/angle, still with this one you can't even display the shield or knife in both arms, and it'd be ridiculously easy to make. And those figures aren't 2 years apart, I don't know why Threezero lacked so much effort with tlk Optimus specifically

Had to do a double take to see if this was a rerelease. The lack of additional techy details for the red sore spot from Quintessa's bitch slap of mind control (patent pending) is just rubbish for a line that prides itself on accuracy to the film models. As had already been said, the evil heads and new accessories seen here should have came with the first release, and this or that should have been more AOE based with different forearms and accessories from that film. The sword still being the AOE design and not the TLK one with the Talisman detail is another particularly lazy aspect of this release.
As it stands all of these issues just made me not bother with the first release, and I'm much the same for this one, it sucks since I really like the design and this is probaby the best figure that will ever exist for it but I have to also consider if I really want to spend this much on a half assed double dip release from a film that I hated. Everything is tilting towards these TLK optimus figures just not being for me, perhaps they'll triple dip and make a theoretical AOE version, as redundant as that would be now.

This figure has one of the nicest headsculpts I’ve seen.
VVa
Oh well.
Angry fan
Not good enough. It's a high end figure bruh

Would be weird if it was exclusive. Actually with this, I wonder if they're going to do a modified DOTM version of their ROTF Prime. They went as far as to make new weapons for Knight Prime, wondering if they'd make the proper mods and include Mega Striker cannon, Shield and Axe for Prime…
Napalm
Standard release.
VVa
The stock head still looks good though.
Liege maximo
Is this gonna be an exclusive or an original release ? I don't see anything on 3Z website…

The upgrade head you got from dino / capkomkai actually has all the intricate lines / markings compared to threezero's which is literally just some red added on the original headsculpt. Lazy work considering the head is literally the only "Nemesis" part about that look. And they are releasing this whole new figure just for that look so.. Guess we gotta go 3rd party once again for an accurate headsculpt lol
