Spark Toys - War Within Optimus Prime

[Tober]

Apparently aprox MP Grimlock in scale.

I like it except for that Dreamwave 'tiny head' look.

It looks like the transformation is exactly the same as the titanium figure.

I don't see the appeal.

[Lord_Zed]

It's still an awesome design, even with the tiny Dreamwave head. It would be nice to have something a bit better quality than the rather sad Titanium figure. On the other hand not sure my collection needs an MP size War Within Prime, maybe if he looks good next to MP 10, but otherwise one would have though a large Voyager size toy would make more sense.

[Trent]

Yeah I love the design of WW Prime too. But it looks to be a very simplistic transformation for the size.

I had actually hoped to see the trailer too.

[kup]

Yeah, as a Voyager or Ultra, yeah it works. As an MP, can't say it does. Even so, as bad as the Titanium built quality is, the robot mode looks better due to more aesthetically pleasing proportions.

[Crimson Prime]

I think I like it, yeah it would have been cool if it was smaller so as to scale with other things but seeing as my eventual plan is to have one huge shelf of just Optimus figures probably in chronological order, not sure if story chronology or production; this doesn't really matter.

Surely I'm not alone in thinking this will look even better with a nice WW Autobot ReproLabel somewhere on it.

Some scale comparisons. Thanks to Cheem the Rup on TFW2005

Do they just make them so large so they can get more profit?

Seems a really weird idea to got to the effort of making a rather nice looking WW Op and then making to a scale that fits nothing else like it.

I'm thinking they are creating a new market for themselves, although I think it's meant to scale with MPs. I like a lot of the Titanium designs, but they could have been better.

[Trent]

The face sculpt isn't good either.

[Megatran]

He reminds me of Gladstone Small.

Looks pretty cool

[UltraMarginal]

I liked a lot of the War Within designs, not sure this fits anywhere in my collection and I agree with the comments about simplicity of transformation, not sure if a more complex transformation would just be complex for the sake of it though.
