Wave 4 Voyager Class Battle Core Optimus in Hong Kong

I ask his same question.

Does anyone really want him?
I don't, IMO Optimus Maximus's core should be normal CW Optimus Prime.

he actually looks really good with the predominantly white limb robots

[Zommael]

I'm liking the white and gold. It's possible I will get him to serve as the core for the Wave 6 repaints so I can keep Sky Lynx separate.

I want him... only so I can repurpose him as Nova Prime :D

not a bad option, I like the idea.

Already have TFCC's version, so no need for me. I was hoping they'd do him up a little more like Thunderclash, but no luck for me yet.

Definitely will look better with normal CW Prime. I can't wait to prove it.

That, and the limb-cars as Turbomasters in unapologetically garish colours would be so cool.

Na, not interested in him myself

I might consider buying this toy if Hasbro did this officially. TakaraTOMY should repaint this as Unite Warriors Star Convoy.

Hell yeah - repainting Swindle/Hound as Scorch, Wheeljack as Boss, Breakdown as Flash, Dragstrip/Deadend? as Hurricane and Alpha Bravo as Rotorstorm.

Could work quite well

And together they form Hyperdrive (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hyperdrive_(Turbomaster))? ;)

Looks like the Battle Core Optimus toy and the Japanese version of Motormaster have had their hip joints adjusted (http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/08/28/combiner-wars-battle-core-optimus-prime-hip-ratchets-redesigned-300494) to give the combiner mode a little more of a square stance.

It's not a huge difference, but if the legs bugged you, there are now a couple of options out there.

And now it has been found that the running change was applied to Hasbro Motormaster for the re-release in Wave 4.

[MV75]

Ah good. I'm actually after the wave 4 motor master since I saw it a few weeks ago, the colour is much better and in line with the g1 version.

[griffin]

Just make sure you check the link for the batch number on the back of the box, or get it out of a master carton that has the Battle Core Optimus. Otherwise you could end up with old stock that doesn't have the running change.

I'm thinking of getting it from bbts which has it bundled with battle core op. :) Going to get blackjack too. We just don't see these toys at all here. :(
