At first, I thought, like g1 optimus, that the legs went backwards, until I read the instructions.
I still have Prime and he is one of my favourites in my collection, not just because it was my first TF, but it is also very G1-esque. It is currently kind of my Classicsverse Optimus at this point. (not entirely though- in my UT display)
It also kept my love for tfs alive, by getting me into the Cybertron cartoon.
Good times, good times...
Cybertron Optimus is one of my favourite Transformers! A cool toy and a great way to get into TFs.

Mine would be probably recieving my first TF. Cosmos. I had asked for Optimus Prime (Of course) but my parents got me Cosmos. At first I was disappointed a bit that it was Optimus (hey I would have been about 8 or so), but then I started to enjoy Cosmos. He's a frikkin' flying saucer! Probably got more fun out of Cosmos than I would have Prime at the time!

I remember the next year, I got together with my best bud and we made our Christmas wish list to give to our parents. It was pretty much the figures we hadn't got yet that were in the catalogue. And one year my parents bought Omega Supreme!

I remember being over joyed at this, it was awesome. But then his treads broke. So we took him back to Target (I can still picture how it looked and know which one it was) for a replacement. But they didn't have any more. I was crushed. So they asked if I wanted to get a Supreme later, or something else now. I opted for something else and got Octane.

bet my folks were relieved And to show I made the right choice, which of those two has been reissued?

Aaah, good times, good times!
