Was able to get an early Xmas surprise in the form of PotP Leader Optimus, care of fellow board member Mr. Yonoid
Definitely impressed with the both the bot modes (despite the somewhat lack luster truck mode Pascal's transformation suggestion on the previous page does improve the look). The 2 piece gun is a cool design and the matrix is always a welcomed addition.
Careful popping it out, if you want to switch it with the Enigma one that came with Grimlock. It's a tight fit and can cause a little stressing on the casing/grey part of the matrix itself.
It really seems like Hasbro took influence from the MP version, which is nice for those who dont own the piece. Definitely worth picking up!
