First look at AoE Optimus toy at NYCC

. BUT, it looks like something a kid could play with and transform without too much help, and that's really more important than servicing the older fanboys.

a very good point, and something that Hasbro brought up at Botcon this year. An intention to split the toy design, some complex items for the older more "mature" fan and other items just as big but with less transformation steps to allow for more fluid toy play for younger fans.

Weird that this is being promoted in the press release as a Generations toy. My guess is either Hasbro is promoting it that way as a "preview" of the new movie line or - and this will horrify some fans, I'm sure - this is actually the "older collector" version of the toy and they are now using Generations as a banner for all toys with any kind of decent articulation and looks, and the movie mainline will be even simpler. Either way I hope we get it in Aus.

pretty sure he's just a preview figure being released in generations

he'll probably end up being 1 of "the 30 exclusives" too

when i first saw the image i thought it was a commander sized figure..looks rather meh for a leader...or a leader we are used to seeing

[Quickstrike]

The only interesting thing about this to me is that there's now a Leader class in Generations.

Time to start saving up money for the next line of movie toys

Digging the new Prime look though, the smoke stacks make him look tribal-ee.
