>>11583731Transformation is...vexing. Not massively difficult per se but he feels more involved than Optimus Prime really needs to be, and for not much additional benefit. There's no wheels on his back, but the backpack he does have is arguably bigger and messier than ER's kibble.
The actual robot mode is great. Really nice proportions and a good level of sculpted detail. Would have liked more colour breakup but whatever. That said, my biggest gripe is the size. He's HUGE, like a head taller than Classics. I feel like Prime wasn't THAT big in the show most of the time. Admittedly the scale was completely all over the shop, and nobody stayed a consistent size (hence why I generally don't treat the scale chart as any sort of gospel given the animators certainly didn't) but he feels a touch too large next to the other guys?
