>>9743752>New Age Smashes on paint finish and materials. Transformation is clever and the double windshield is not really a problem at the scale like the zoomed in pictures may have you believe. Comes in every optimus flavored repaint imaginable and is packed with all appropriate accessories. Fumbles on the truck mode bed and the original release not having double jointed elbows which is something they're fixing in new versions of the mold?
>Magic Square 2.0Proportions and articulation are immaculate at the scale. Extremely solid looking and great use of mass for the transformation to get to a acceptable truck mode. Paint and materials are Magic square so you either love or hate it. Subjectively, the flat window paint for the chest and alt mode is worse than the double windows of New Age. This possibly will be fixed with a metallic repaint at some point in the future. First release also dropped some trailer accessories so they could rush it out the door.
Objectively I don't think you can really go wrong with either. Neither are perfect, but they both do a really good job.
