Doesn't bother me with it having another use as a Custom Class figure.
Actually, the internet reaction is funny, here and elsewhere (just remember I'm having fun with generalizations here ).
Club does a custom class figure of something really desirable like G2 Sideswipe: "How dare they, I hate them!"
Club does a custom class figure of something really obscure or weird, like Primal Prime or this one: "That's stupid, what a waste of a figure!"

There were certainly a couple stinkers in the line but that's pretty harsh. Even then, some molds I originally didn't like all that much (Bumblebee/Goldfire) have been massively improved by their repaints (Million Publishing Go-Shooter). I'm actually looking forward to more repaints of Armada Starscream. Sure, it was a little small, but it was really well done and pretty faithful to the source material all things considered.

By the by, I happen to like this mold. It's not horrible, but is a little small.

Have you been following any of the Ask Vector Prime Facebook posts this year? Some big things have been revealed in those, and Jim Sorenson has been strongly hinting of some massive game-changing things to come in this year's TCC fiction that will dramatically alter the Singularity concept, for better or worse. For instance, one of the things revealed by Vector Prime so far is that non-Singularity versions of Singularity characters (like Unicron and the Thirteen) do exist within the Multiverse.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Now it's back to wondering if Nova Prime might or might not be Shattered Glass Optimus Prime reformatted by the good Unicron.
Does any Negative Polarity universe affect Primus and Unicron though? Last I remember, it was Primus who reconstructed Nexus Maximus Prime and his power resurrected Megatron into Galvatron, despite it happening in Shattered Glass.

Something like that, yeah.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Have you been following any of the Ask Vector Prime Facebook posts this year?

Alpha Trion is a good example of that. So basically, there are versions of Primus and Unicron out there that aren't gods, like the G1 cartoon Unicron which was completely build from scratch by Primacron...

The head itself is fine, sizewise. It's that obnoxiously tall flap that sits behind the head that makes it look too small. I always hated that flap even on the Orion Pax version.Gearslide wrote:Man, a custom paint job really brings the flaws of that headsculpt to light.

When put side-by-side with Pax, the heads are about the same size (Pax's is just a smidge wider, not taller), with the flap towering over Pax's head too.

I was really hoping for Thunderclash out of it. Of course, the club did him 6 years ago with Energon Rodimus, so maybe it got looked over due to that.
