>>10358939Silly as the fire truck was I think it all works in service of the robot mode.
I do really like this diet Optimus look. He cuts a strong figure, with the broad shoulders and tall boots.
What I don't like, and this was even more true for the vehicle mode, is the black. It just does not work with the baby blue.
The red looks great. And don't even get me started on that one hit of blue for the Ultra Magnus mouth plate.
I know I never really played with Hot Spot, or the Protectobots at all, much when I got them, but this is some love at first sight stuff. I can't take my eyes off him now.
