Was reading TFWiki recently, and I found apparently you're meant to fold the cab panels from RotF Leader Optimus up against Jetfire's torso with Jetpower Optimus:



Folding the cab panels on Optimus like so makes a subtle but noticeable change to the silhouette. It's not well shown in this photo, but the Blackbird engine nacelles stand out more, which is more screen-accurate.

As someone who likes to combine my leader movie Primes with Jetfire, I'd never done this before. Having to resist the urge to go do it now and continue working!

There are several faction-exclusive sub groups that buck this trend, including...
* Jumpstarters
* Battlechargers
* Junkions
* Lightformers
* Trakkons
* Motorvators
* Turbomasters
* Predators
* Stormtroopers
* Axelerators
* Aquaspeeders
* Brainmasters
* Breast Force
* Multi Force
* Powered Masters
etc.

And there are obviously other sub-groups which aren't bound by faction, such as Headmasters, Targetmasters, Action Masters, Micromasters, Pretenders, Clones, Powermasters, Power Masters, Godmasters, Obliterators, Transmetals, Fuzors, Mini-Cons etc.

The way I justify that in my head is that those teams which you have suggested Gok are teams defined by a technology, rather than a theme (ie: Dinobots are a team of Autobot Dinosaurs, whereas the Lightformers are a jeep and a plane who use light based weapons).

So apparently the Optimus Prime that comes with Stratosphere is small enough to fit into Combiner Wars Devastator's hands! Also I think Optimus is Micro Machine size

I would take photos, but I'm pretty buggered at the moment so I can't be bothered.

UPDATE: Actually it's not only Devastator who can hold him. I tried it on a few figures (Titan Metroplex, MP10 Optimus, Armada Tidal Wave) and they all can hold Optimus Prime. In fact Stratosphere can also hold him.
Hope you didn't lose your lil' Optimus Prime, because a lot of bots can in fact, hold him.
