Such a good looking figure. Jhiaxus was a wonderful surprise, and that transformation translates well for him. The original figure may be heftier but this one is a much more satisfying Transformer.

I can see him meeting [Galaxy Convoy] again and not knowing who he is, because of Whovian Time Lord wibbley wobbly, timey wimey shenanigans. Namely, Vector Prime is younger while [Galaxy Convoy] is older.

I personally like both uses of the mould. Jihaxus is often a static personality unless he's straight up choke slamming Megs and Optimus...kinda the Darkseid or Thanos of transformers. But yeah Vector is a warrior so his dynamic pose-ability makes sense lol.

[@TheBlackBrickStudios]

I genuinely do not understand how so many people hate this figure. Pre-ordered this figure day one, and have zero regrets. Genuinely one of the best Legacy figures to date. The original Takara Vector Prime has been my holy grail for years, but I am flat broke. This figure, imo, and this may be a spicy take, is ALMOST as good as the Takara deco on the original figure, and makes me not want to get the old one anymore.

[@sabregunner1]

they hate it for a couple of reasons. It got remolded from an exisiting figure and its not what they wanted it to be. IMO its not bad, i preordered one and i am looking forward to adding it to my collection

Jhiaxus is my favorite Transformer. Him getting a toy was the coolest thing ever to me.

[@KarachoBolzen]

I think just folding the tail fin underneath where you can still see it works for him, means the arm-bricks aren't the only thing down there and kinda helps his space-frigate look

[@Ninjagofan456-fi9em]

Someone finally got a review out before prime vs prime

[@scatterbrain8764]

Already have this pre-ordered, and where I live it's currently estimated to ship out in August. Vector Prime is a character I have a weird spot of nostalgia for. I had the original Cybertron toy as a kid - I think it was a birthday present? I never watched Cybertron, so I had no idea who he was, but the toy was quite fun. I'm very excited to get this Legacy update. The Jhiaxus mould was a good fit for him IMO, and I've heard good things about said mould, so I'm excited to try it out. Also, your Nova Prime crew shelf looks awesome.

[@shadowclonier3062]

I wish he had the obvious leg coverings, both the clockwork spaceship and the ancient armored knight are harmed by their intrusion onto his appearance. I would also much prefer vambraces and bigger pauldrons to complete his look, but those aren't quite as distracting. Alas, if only he was a 4 mold retool instead of only 3. Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure every one of my favorite Transformers uses a melee weapon. Sword > gun, though both might fail against a halberd.

[@LeHasnurg]

Looks different, and the transition to vehicle mode has a twist.

[@S0n0fG0D]

[@vilmerkrogandersen316]

YES!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A LEGACY!! now we just need legacy animated Shockwave and Escargon then i'm happy

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Have this one and Hotshot shipping in July. Even owning the original, the mostly backpack free transformation and Jhiaxus level articulation won me over easy. Not without it's flaws, but a really imaginative update given what Hasbro was working with. Also love the contrast between white, gold, and burgundy opposed to the chocolate brown of the original NA release.

[@cernstormrunner7263]

I stopped collecting Transformers back before Beast Wars came out. Seeing the posability of these new toys is freaking mind blowing, considering my G1 Optimus could bend at the elbows and that was about it.

[@thomasmorgan9768]

Huh. I really didn't expect the sword and wings to be made of flexible plastic like the original.

Original US versions. The Takara and Moccom(Korean) version uses a stiff plastic instead. On a side note, the Legacy's color palette is based on the versions of the toy I mentioned, rather than the bright white and brown of the OG US version.

Titans Return Hot Rod, I sold because he was too wonky compared to everyone else. 86 seems to be my only choice now.

As someone who's very first TF figure was a secondhand OG Cyberverse Vector Prime in his weird specialty colors- I gotta get this new dude to have his actual colors. XD

[@TechnicalJimActual]

To whoever buys this Vector Prime, it might be a good idea not to cut off those hinge parts. If there's going to be some sort of upgrade set to this figure, it might utilize those hinge bits to hold some pieces in place to improve the look of the shins or something.

[@45TRANSFORMERSFAN]

[@MilesDashing]

Thanks for the review! About ten years ago I picked up the original version, even though I had never heard of the character, because he was gorgeous and cheap. Wait, this is starting to sound like a story about my ex-wife... Anyway, Cybertron Vector Prime and I are happily married, and although it looks like a good toy, I don't think I'll be dumping him for a younger model.

The alt mode is my main issue, its just not as accurate as it should be, they put the red paint in the wrong places and tbh they should have just done him as a new mold, 2025 is the year of the primes anyways so he'd fit in perfectly, plus he could have been repainted into an alpha trion which is always nice, jhiaxus should have been retooled into smth else

[@ailestriker9888]

Jhiaxus’ head will always be a grumpy rooster face to me and for that reason I’m out. Vector Prime though is a core childhood memory and eill be in my collection ASAP

[@POWERtothePEOPLE-GP78]

I've still got the original in excellent condition - and I don't think I'll be swapping it for this one. It just isn't right for me - I think the mold isn't suitable and as you said, they should have made SOME effort to put cogs on the legs and just tweak the mold to remove the redundant empty joints from Jhiaxus' batwing ankle things. Maybe it's still owning the original that shades my opinion, but it just looks all wrong and like the designers just crammed it in to make the Jhiaxus mold more profitable. I'm glad the character is getting some new love and I enjoyed your review as much as always, but this one is a miss for me.

I think it's a better retool than the Slipsream we're going to be getting.
