>>459476But it's still stupid to say it. It's hardly a major aspect of his design. And to claim that pointless minutae like that "Emasculates" him is foolhardy.
It doesnt make the toy any less Optimus Prime. He STILL has the G1 design. He STILL Has the chest windows. He STILL Has the iconic faceplate. He STILL comes with loads of iconic accessories. I can't see why the smokestacks even matter at all. You gotta be pretty pathetic to let one insignificant detail ruin a pretty nice collectible. We still got a good toy and STILL people just put it under the fucking microscope and pick, pick, pick it apart and cry over how Hasbro mistreats them by obeying SAFETY LAWS.
"Castrated." Jesus Christ. Overreact much? No wonder I divorced myself from such a whiny petulant fandom.
