>>10794692Truck mode. While he still turns into his usual cabover truck (sans trailer), his transformation is easily the most complex of the bunch. Instead of the usual 'twist torso around, tuck head into cab, arms stick into the sides' classic transformation for him, Prime's shins now detach similar to Starscream's, but rotate backwards and around, bringing his feet to just beneath his crotch, where they fold in and become a faux trailer hitch. Similar to his Earthrise toy, his chest pops open under his windshield/Matrix chamber and his actual truck grill folds down from it; his bumper (designed a bit more like a cowcatcher or plow) actually makes up the sides of his robot torso, and both halves (along with his front wheels) flip around and rotate to meet up with the grill. At the same time, the manels that make up his backpack unfold, with the grey bits becoming side runners for the truck and the red parts becoming the top of the cab as his head flips back. The entire upper chest is pulled 90° back towards his legs. Lastly, the 'cuffs' around his forearms unfold to make the sides of the cab; his elbows bend in reverse and his shoulders tuck back, letting you rotate the sides of the cab into position. Then you fold down the top of the cab and finally close his chest, hiding his fists and completing the truck. Most of those steps have to be done at the same time, or you end up with parts clashing against each other, so part of the 'puzzle' to transforming him is figuring out not just what parts go where, but WHEN to move those parts. His gun and axe clip onto the sides of his shins to finish the look (and, surprisingly, his gun has no issues pegging in here like it dos with his hands).
