Prime is the worst, because for some reason he's ended up with a massive backpack in robot mode while his truck mode is basically a realistic cab with two fat robot legs sticking out the back.
Am I crazy for just wanting a high quality alt-mode that transforms into a good looking and reasonably well-articulated robot? Any time they go for realistic alt-modes it's either the Alternators trainwreck or the Bay garbage where everyone's face looks like a cat's ass.
