"I'm going to take back Scourge's key and then! **Take off his head.."**

[raiden_edits]

The truck mode looks messy because they ran out of budget. I think it would be cool if they re-released this figure fixing the back if the truck, as well as a few other modifications(different grey plastic, different shoulders, better accessories, etc)

This reminds me of a student working super slow and meticulously, making the best school project ever...

...and then realizing that it's due tomorrow, staying up all night scrambling to get it done before class only to run out of time and turn it in unfinished.

I'm amazed how accurate the on screen transformation is to the figure! That truck kibble is probably the worst I've seen since Power of the Primes... Prime, but also like that guy the robot mode makes up for it.

you know?
you could use Optimus Prime Shoulders to move those pieces instead of doing it with your finger
just point out his arms up and use them to move the sholders, would be much easier I think

[slugmaligma]

You forgot to flip down the grey panels at the back of the cab. It helps keept the shin panels locked.

[NguyenReactions]

To rotate the shoulders for the transformations just move the shoulders up and push back on them, it's so much easier

[bphater]

You forgot to rotate the grey part near the smoke stacks down. Great review

[BobaFettTheth]

Why this figure is in the bb line is because this was a planned retool / repaint of the Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime. But I assumed they were allowed to make a new figure

[omegamaximus]

This should not have been a n exclusive, it should’ve been a mass release.

[Saiyan]

This thing is like 80% great. 20% i wouldnt even say awful i would say that coulda used extra work. I freaking love it

[BryanChumbers]

Not just the since where optimus said stand down. It was also used in the since where he said. I’m going to take back scurge key and then take off his head and the last since everyone Gard the key

[cslance]

For me, this figure and Evasion mode Prime are the only figures that feel easier to get into vehicle mode than robot mode. Yes, you read that right. To me, the conversion from Robot to vehicle feels smoother than vehicle to robot. To be fair, my SS 102 Prime has modified legs.

[obsessivefanboy]

Apparently Hasbro said they ran out of budget which is why the truck mode looks awful from the back, as most of the budget went to the robot mode which is why it looks great. But it doesn't bother me since I display my transformers in robot mode anyway and have the ROTB mainline voyager Prime in the truck mode next to the SS102 Prime.

Welp good thing DNA design kit had the option to remedy some of the problems

[That_One_Gaming_Guy]

Damn, Mini-Balt sounds so unamused about the plethora of Primes. It's honestly pretty funny.

[astrealkoh]

Yeah sadly the figure wasnt perfect. Some sacrifices had to be made to make it at least look good in some way. (Imo head's a little too small as well)

Side note: Little Balt part was adorable as heck. Keep up the good work Balt!

[BryanChumbers]

It’s not for the transformation it’s a drop down hinge so the leg can go forward a good amount it’s not for the transformation

[TerranIV]

Something must have happened in the development of this mold that compromised the truck mold. I wonder if we will ever get a slight remold that will fix the back of the truck and maybe actually include the additional transformation that it looks like it must have had at some point in the design process.

[ZombieNYT]

Does your figure have the same problem as mine where if you transform the legs all they way, his vehicle mode becomes bent? Cause I noticed the cab of the truck is bent forward a little bit, and that’s the same thing I did to try and “fix” the vehicle mode problem.
