It's for kids, not collectors.

Re: optimus maximus: whats the appeal?
That's probably more accurate reason for Optimus Maximus's existence, for the kids and not us adults who know better.

Re: optimus maximus: whats the appeal?
Also, the ad is hilarious.
As it has the Autobots atop this massive walking platform of destruction mowing down Vehicons like no tomorrow.
Seriously, the Transformers Prime universe as presented in the ads for Op Max and the leader replacements (name escapes me right now) is one of Autobots mercilessly mowing down Vehicons by the horde with fancy weapons to an absurd degree.

Don't they do that in the show anyway?
And yet the Autobot are still losing... seriously how many of those guys does Megatron have? Does he just grow them in vats on his ship??

The DOTM Ark was a great toy, it didn't have a robot mode, also the Ark original retail price is the same as Optimus Maximus, only now the Ark is hella cheaper due to being clearanced (Released in June of 2011, it's almost 2013 now)
