So i always thought this figure looked cool but i try to avoid repeats of characters, even if they are from different continuities. I passed him in the store a bunch of times and after seeing reviews of his qc issues i felt like i made the right choice, but i kept getting this nagging feeling each time i passed him that i was gonna end up regretting it eventually, so this time i saw him and took the chance.
First off, qc was still an issue, its all in the mushroom pegs, his right arm and torso both have mold flash which will force them to twist off, but im sure if i take a file to them itll end up fine
Other than that, damn what a fun figure. I dont have any loyalty or nostalgia for animated, came out when i was in my 20s and not into tfs, but the design here looks great, and the toy just has such a great presence and dynamic shapes. The range of motion on the joints is top notch for mainline, the plastic feels great, the paint is clean. He really sells himself as a wholly different guy to g1 optimus
Im enjoying him so much im probably gonna grab the upgrade kit
