We continue on with the toys, hitting the autobots we have not yet gotten to. Only one First Edition Autobot left to go, but he is a doozy
 |
| First Edition Optimus Prime voiced by the one and only Peter Cullen the engineering on this one is not quite as crazy as bulkheads but still quite innovative. The small "backpack" of his grill just winds up looking like heavier armor rather than looking cluttered |
 |
| Wheeljack, voiced by James Horan...not your fathers Wheeljack. Cynical, tough, and a lone wolf, he was one of the wreckers in this particular storyline, and shows up in the episode "Con Job", returns in "Loose Cannons" but doesn't actually join Team Prime until Season 3; His toy is not FE, but it could be. Excellent engineering, good show likeness and nothing wasted; he comes with a pair of vicious swords in terms of weapons, and he rarely needs more, but loves grenades |
 |
| Later in season 2, in the episode "Recruit" we get to meet toy more than I do, but I have some issues with it. the same "false chest" problem as we see with Ratchet, a completely "bare frame" back where the pieces that fold onto the bottom of his arms might have been used instead, and shoulder joints that as often as not pop out rather than fall into his rather fiddly transformation. He's a good looking figure from the front, but a living nightmare to move from one mode to another |
 |
| Early in season 3, we get Ultra Magnus, Voiced by Michael Ironside, and he is by the books and follow the regs all the way. his toy is based not on the FE version of Optimus Prime, but on the RID version instead, with a new head, chest, and shoulders. the weapon he comes with is the forge of Solus Prime. Almost every toy of Ultra Magnus has been a re-mold or a repaint of Optimus Prime, but this one is by far my favorite (until he gets a good mold of his own) |
And coming up in part 3-a season 1 overview
