Funnily enough, the authors of the BotCon 2008 SG comic story once said that they envisioned SG Optimus as sounding like Peter Cullen's Venger voice from the Dungeons & Dragons 80's cartoon.william-james88 wrote:President-prime wrote:It's a matter of preference, and what you collect.

But word to the wise,this seems to be a platinum exclusive so wait to see if an exclusive us retailer will have it or wait till the listings show up on e_bay before buying. I am pretty sure this will be available for 150 one way or another.

Huh, really? Not disagreeing with you but I'm not sure where this is coming from and I didn't see it anywhere else.

The original pic we got looks just like the back of platinum box sets.

Perhaps it will be distributed enough to get in a store that will eventually reduce it under $100.00 I'd likely bite.

That red bumblebee suggests otherwise. Also speaking of G2, they did make a G2 BB as well.

If it truly is a Platinum edition that doesn't sound too unlikely, actually.

I don't see that much paint on it. Or at least, no more than what was on the good version's trailer.Bumblebee21 wrote:Is the trailer gonna be painted that much
