The plastic isn't cream but a very faded gray color.

That's not just albino prime. That's Albino-Roadkill-Prime.

In bot mode though......not so much. In bot mode there should have been more application of paint then wiped off to highlight more details and panel edges with the paint remaining in those wee crevasses and panel lines. With less straight brown "blotches" sprayed on from a spray gun. A little more care in those regards and some grey would have been nice in alt mode. Like in the elbows, shoulders and knees.
IMO.

It was grayscaled on purpose. So we couldn't see the new deco.

Actually, the grey pieces are brand new parts, built into the original. New parts are always grey at first to make them stand out more, but also for testing purposes. Ever seen fully colored prototypes on first reveal?

Battle Command Optimus Prime is a real throw back to the early 2000's Transformers for me. Ultra class sized robots/vehicles with a chunky heavy feel loaded with gimmicks. I look at this figure as the center piece of Takara's simplified line since all the one step figures can interact with Prime in both vehicle and robot mold. By the way, if someone can explain to me what the heck shaking the toy does I'd really appreciate it.

I would have liked this figure a lot more if it wasn't 60% kibble.

Both versions of the figures feature chrome detailing, while the Takara Tomy figures feature more of a matte finish in spots and slightly different paint apps than their Hasbro counterparts.

There goes the whole point of the SDCC set...
Posted by Sabrblade on September 3rd, 2014 @ 9:05pm CDT
Not when Takara only made these two and only as exclusives for the Transformers Expo. Hasbro's got them beat in terms of member quantity (all five Dinobots rather than just two) and secondary-market availability.dalekslayer96 wrote:There goes the whole point of the SDCC set...

Well, that's true.
That also reminded me: is Takara producing anymore Black Knight Dinobots?

Eh, don't back down that easily. Your point was valid. (That's not to say Sabr's wasn't valid either.) The SDCC set was meant to be exclusive and therefore expensive, and when you make the main figure available like that, well, it kinda mucks things up for those who put big money into a set for that exclusivity and it's gimmick. (And let's face it, when you mention the word Dinobot, and G1, the first name that comes to mind is Grimlock. If you can get this guy and don't want the set, you're golden. No need to buy the set when you can buy this.)
It reeks of the whole Classics Seeker fiasco nearly a decade ago. (Wow. A decade! *smh*)
A bit of consistency would go a long way to appease the fans. I don't think we're asking that much.

Hasbro has a knack for screwing with exclusives and making the fans angry.

I had it typed up and in the correct forum before he did, but he got it published before I did. I retracted my news and left the post not thinking.

If that G1 colored AoE voyager Grimlock is somewhat reasonably priced, I might consider it.

I will probably regret that, when i find out the only way i can buy it is importing it at great personal cost, waiting months for it to arrive only for it to be seized by Royal Mail until i pay the import tax and £20 ransom fee.

at the end of all this... im going to have so many AOE dinobots...
retail fruity dinos, sdcc, platinum 5pack, and MAYBE these bastards too...

More like, "We already have an Optimus toy, what do we do with the Power Attacker to avoid duplicate characters outside of Grimlock?"

Wouldn't be a repaint to Japan, as they never got the Power Attacker Optimus in some form until now. They did get the One-Step as an exclusive.
