@@bumbleprime7713 Exactly. Honestly, most G1 were bricks with rotating shoulders, and elbows, if you were lucky. Even better would be those with rotating wrists. But 99% of them were solid from the chest down. Most of them did not even have moving heads. The only thing Prime had going for him in robot mode was moveable shoulders, elbows, and wrists (considering that the fists were plug in). No neck rotation, no waste, hips, knees or feet.

I was lucky enough to get the Toy deco version, trailer and all, and as someone who's never owned G1 toys before, I had an absolute blast with this thing. The core robot has been a consistent desk toy of mine - it's so fun to pose and flip back and forth between modes. The Anime deco looks surprisingly good, but I still prefer the paint on the Toy deco. Also, G1 Optimus has anime blush lines under his eyes and I can never unsee it.

The most bone chilling speech ever. "While this may vary well mark the end of the age of primes, leadership can be earned with or without the matrix, and in my view, you have each acted as a prime. As even Megatron has demonstrated on this day, every sentient being processes the capacity for change. I ask only this of you fellow Autobots, keep fighting the noblest of fights. Above all, do not lament my absence for in my spark I know that this is not the end but merely a new beginning, simple put, another transformation."

3:41 the head rotates is an upgrade of the original 3:54 Better shoulders 4:34 Wow! The original has a spring based elbow joint that is stif and tends to break. 5:11 That ab crouch is awesome. 5:36 The slightly rotating waist is just a bonus. 6:30 Finally hips movility, and the ratched knee is so sweet. 7:15 the original head was just screwed in the original toy, so the fact it can rotate is a win win... 8:06 Yes... That was the most annoying part of the original toy. The original hips have some twisted gears mechanism that is the fatal flaw of the toy, in a point if you're not careful, you can split it in two by accident... Overall is too expensive, but... Is one of those things that a fan of G1 would apreciate. P.S. Just dreamin' but I hope they release a Megatron G1 like this one, but all we know that never gonna happens again...
@Varia314 ай бұрын
I went for the toy version with the full trailer set. Gotta say, I do agree with the waist rotation critique and the legs can be a bit finicky when going back to truck form, but this is otherwise gotta be one of my favorite Primes now. I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s just a joy to mess with and flip back and forth to truck and bot mods. The posing and updated weapons are stellar. It’s some solid engineering with all the charm of the original toy.

I would not hold my breath on Bumblebee. The G1 toy is REALLY small and the wheels get in the way of any additional articulation. Plus the head being on a flap means it probably won't have any real options for adding a neck swivel. All that said, Jazz is a good candidate for the upgrade.
