I am really surprised how well I love that BB Concept Megatron. And it's Transformers, aerodynamics be damned I just love that he has a jet of some kind with a second tank mode. Best of both worlds in terms of alternate alt modes for Megs other than a handheld gun mode. Now I wish that Buzzworthy ROTB Prime was not such a bitch to find now. (I ended up having to sell my initial copy to help pay for a car repair). But yea, I might actually buy that Megatron and hope I can find another ROTB Prime later on or see if a better BB/ROTB Prime comes along. Also want that SS Pablo. Yea, he's not true Wheeljack but I do love the design regardless and I never saw the Target mainline/Buzzworthy 3 pack, so I will definitely be tempted to get this one. Scorponok is a maybe along with Junkheap. But Gamer Starscream and BB Rumble is a pass.

*Sees a side by side comparison of Voyager and Delux WfC Starscream* Wow... what the hell did they do to the cockpit? Seriously, 2012 looks so much better.

Looking like next year's Studio Series Commander will be 86 Optimus Prime.
There are a few other characters that probably deserve that spot more (like ROTB Stratosphere) but I would not discount a new Optimus Prime. For the longest time, I thought ER Prime would always be my go-to Optimus and I would not need any future version. But as time went on, there are some issues that have stood out and some even more so compared with other releases. The biggest issue with ER Prime I have now is he looks out of proportion with very long legs and a short torso. Also the blue around his blue eyes never set well with me. I would have preferred him to have kept his yellow eyes or paint his upper face gray. But the trailer is the one part that has become more of an issue over time. Well, maybe not an "issue" but his trailer is pretty small. Especially compared with the larger Kingdom Rodimus and SS86 Ultra Magnus.
Commander Class being $90-100, a new SS86 Optimus Prime would have to be something special for me to consider upgrading from ER Prime. If we can get a better proportioned Optimus, a larger trailer that can accommodate one deluxe class car-bot, and maybe blast effects that can plug into his gas tanks to mirror that image of Prime mowing down Cons in TFTM, then it would definitely all be steps in the right direction.

It would have to be fucking phenomenal to get me to shell out Commander Price for a toy we get design refreshed on a near annual basis, particularly with Reactivate Prime coming out that's actually *new* looking.

I...
*sigh*
I'm out.
They've priced me out. These things, they're just asking for too much money for what they're all actually worth. I'll pick up Core Classes and a few EarthSparks... But after my preorders, I'm pretty sure I'm out.
I might see if I can sell my Deathsaurus.
