Seriously, those who were fans of the original series will note the return of a familiar power in tomorrow's episode...

I haven't been at the Stores lately but how does the toys work? Do they morph or something, cause of volume displacement. When Optimus Transforms he get skinnyer.

Since you can't get subspace-mass displacement form Toys_R-Us yet, then they do what all Transformers do...transform. By moving bits and stuff. Oh, and guess who picked up a japanese first season BW optimus Primal today? Possibly my favourite BW's toy now, just ahead of Depth Charge and TM Cheetor. And TM Optimus too. Original Primal gets points for the shit-load of weapons he's loaded down with. So much better than Optimal Optimus.

I used to have one, the original toy back in the 80's, but it was stripped of its red paint.

Alas the same cannot be said for the bizarre "white" Prime that is part of the Ultra Magnus toy. I recall many youthful attempts at improvised prosthetic surgery to replace it's missing white fist...
