DOTM Cyberverse Commander Battle Steel Optimus Prime

[Pascal]

Ok, this first post won't be much about the Battle Steel Optimus Prime figure itself because I think the deco is pretty bad (and mine had bad paint apps plus the left shoulder plate won't peg in properly in robot mode). But that's okay, I purchased the figure solely for his kickass weapons (signature guns and swords). Tonight I purchased another wave 1 Cyberverse Commander Optimus Prime to give them to. End result? Sweeeeeet.

Just noticed Battle Steel Prime is a slight remold of the original version: the front wheels are different (additional detailing on the sidewalls). Dammit, this means the completist in me has to keep it. :p

It's a great toy to fiddle with. I've got both Basics Optimus as well, and too bad about the bad paint on yours, mine is perfect.

I took the jetpack from the first Optimus and put it on this version, and he looks bad@$$.

I wonder how many more versions of this Optimus Hasbro will do?
