Haven't had time to mess with it, yet, but here's an initial shot...  He's got the touch. And the minion...  |

I still can not erase on my mind the "Okuto No Ken" chin he has...
In fact, the open mouth face suits well

I actually like most of those stickers. I just hope they don't cost like the Hong Kong Metroplex ones do.

UM: Do I really have to carry these guys, Optimus? OP: I got you a police escort, Magnus.  |

OceanDesgins labels : No comparing to the tons of patterns of Metroplex. The price is understandable. Btw, just purchased the UM set for $ 15.00 |

I want to raise an issue for UM. Not that he was actually a bad leader, it's just it really sucked to be him after what I heard Flint Dille commented in the 2006 DVD remaster of the 1986 Movie. About Dille's comments, I'll get to it after this back ground.In Diaclone, the toy was a step ahead from the original Battle Convoy. A power suit upgrade + a full transfomable scout car and a "flying" chest armor/jet. Not really sure what Hasbro was planning for him but I found an alternative battle scene in Transformers Generations (1st edition)albeit a very small one on what appeared to be G1-Megatron fighting a Diaclone colored UM.I found a bigger picture of the scene in "Pia"  It seems that prior to the 1986 Movie (even early ads of the Movie showed UM in these colors)Hasbro might have been planning for Op to become UM. Speculation on my part people. You can see in the scene the core robot actually transforming into him. This scene never appeared again in the toy box battle scene. In fact, only the Takara box/package battle scene showed both the white core robot and the UM armor separately in the scene (the background of the scene seems to be Earth with Metroplex in full robot mode in the right and Dinosaurer in dino mode on the left) So back to UM and Flint Dille's comments. Maybe old news for you guys but then again, whoever listens to the commentary track of the DVDS anyway? :lol: In the scene of transition, Optimus was turning over the Matrix to UM. Then comes a scene where we see (I thought it was an error in animation) where UM actually puts the Matrix into his chest twice or readjusts its fit. Well Dille commented that the "error" was more or less intentional or the scene's animation didn't convey the omen of things to come. The Matrix was never meant for UM #-o Sucks to be UM no? All this time, the story was supposed to build up into Hotrod's taking over the reigns of command. So all this "I can't deal with this " lines really was a put down on the current transitional holder of the Matrix..........which translated into the toy not having one. In the UK stories, UM really did give a lot of hurt to the 'cons, especially Galvatron in that time travel plotline of Furman but in DW War Wihin, UM was a wuss. Jeez....poor guy. IDw, well that's a really different animal. Maybe the saving grace for UMis this MP figure............a very well constructed MP over the atrocious MP-09. |

On the toy end of your statement, I think the idea might have been that hasbro or Takara wanted OP to become ultra Magnus, as you thought, like a power-up version.
Instead I think they looked at development for the series/movie and probably said, the toy looks too similar to OP, let's design something different. So what happened?
OP dies in movie. Powered convoy gets re-colored. They sell lots of that toy. Then we get a whole new toy for them to sell. Powermaster OP/masterforce ginrai. Then you have bought two toys - the new Optimus and his now commander in chief. And they have made more money.
