Talk about waiting until the last minute, it seems the crowd piled on the funding close to the end with 28,228 Backers getting on board this project. Hasbro's @bmacatron84 and @markclonus shared the update below annocuncing the final tally and letting us know the Omega Prime is rolling out to production.
I am beyond thankful for every person who made this the most successful #Transformers #HasLab yet!
Now begins the long process of producing #OmegaPrime. The wait will be worth it. We have a lot of work ahead of us to be sure this lives up to the expectations.
Thank you for making the #Transformers40 celebration a memorable one. Can’t wait to show you what else we have this year. #40YearsOneLegacy
Why is his neck so long?
This looks like a cheap KO compared to the originals. The only part that is interesting is the Bluebolt figure
Yes!!!!! All of the yes! Already put my order in as did 1/3 of the people needed so far within only 4 hours, 5 now.
I just want the option to get more Bluebolts. I loves me some Weaponizers.
I'm even thinking about selling my original set to fund a second set lol. I haven't looked at it in a while but last time I did I still had all the tires. They were splitting but I glued them on. Hopefully they haven't disintegrated outright. I'll keep Shotimus Prime though...oh sorry, he's...er I mean she's Yellow Splendid Convoy now isn't she? Shame that this means we'll never get them now be it Shotimus Prime, Yellow Splendid Convoy or any of the other deco options the original had. I gladly would pick up Black God Fire Convoy or the proposed OTFCC Defensor and MIdnight Shield Defensor decos of just Fire Convoy. But those will never come to pass now due to the stupid limitations placed on Haslab sets and reissues/redecos.
That's the only real downside to this set being a Haslab. No redecos. So far though, this is the only one of the four to really be affected by that. Sure Victory Saber has had a black redeco for the Robotmasters figure but that's about it other than Red Geist from Deathsaurus but that's most likely a legal grey area as to who actually owns the rights to that be it Takara or Sunrise.
