Thats not true, nothing accompanied YOTDragon Optimus. Omega was the second year of this and the trend wasnt cemented yet. In retrospect they gave that Omega a lot more effort and chose to retool him rather than simply giving a new deco which they did for the 2 years following. So what I am saying is that he doesnt fit the mold the past 2 years (and probably this one) did. So, to me, he would have made more sense as a standard platinum reissue which sees a tad bit more effort.
