    Default YOTR Platinum Edition Hybrid Style G1 Optimus Prime

    News from TFW member Type-R about the Year of the Rooster Platinum edition from Hasbro. It's a reissue of The Hybrid Style G1 Optimus Prime. Pics in the TFW link below. Will try to load a few up once my photobucket stops having a fit...

    Already have this one but it's a great little fig for those who are keen. Alt mode is pretty terrible but great little bot with tons of accessories.

    I'd be interested as I was waiting for my Rooster year to come up. Probably keep it MISB.

    Can't see much to distinguish it from being a special YOTR edition though...

    Pretty much just the box. Shame the Autobot logo is just standard. Would have been better to have this Roosterised

    I'm not sure having a c0ck logo would be appropriate or to everyone's taste. The previous year's logos were hideous imo.

    Let me comment after I've finishing spanking the Year of the Monkey.

    In all seriousness, I'm a little disappointed with the use of this small-scaled mould. Optimus Prime YotD, YotS, YotH, YotG were of decent size.

    Dude, you can say cock. It's not an offensive word in this context since you're using it for its proper meaning (synonym for rooster). Don't be so chicken.

    I'm annually disappointed that they always go with Optimus Prime and never choose an alt mode that's relevant to the Lunar calendar's patron animal.



    Of course, the big dilemma that we're facing with the upcoming New Year is that there is NO chicken Transformer. It's something that I've been wishing for for ages now, but alas HasTak have never sought to make one. But even another birdformer would've been preferable to a truck. Or at very least redeco the trailer with the logo of a poultry company (then it'd really be poultry in motion ).

    For year of the goat they used mp soundwave and laser optimus, their bio write up was hey were chosen based on their "year of the" personality attributes.

    Problem is this is just a good excuse to stick to mostly optimus redeco's, the fact this one has NOTHING new (least on a glance) really hurts, if I see this at myers I'll wait for clearance as I like the mold, but it better be a good clearance.

    I can only imagine Hasbro being at the crossroads in releasing this toy. They would have toiled with the question, Why did the Rooster cross the road?

    Dude, you can say anally. It's not an offensive word in this context of these 'Year of the ...' have gone to crap.
