Great review as usual Those ridiculous mechtech weapons now have lights !! they made the figure dotm smaller cos of the amount of materials and now they put lights in to , I'm sure that will help I am with you on the arms as they do look weird with the translucent blue plastic on them and I don't see the point But I do like that the wheels transform on his back which is accurat to the show rather than the FE having them at his shoulders (BTW on another note, will you be doing a DOTM dlx soundwave review ?)
Nice review. I agree on the First Edition being the better figure so that's why I'm glad I was able to get the FE when it was for a more reasonable price when I had the chance. Though in honesty this mold could work for a Nemisis Prime type repaint. I mean the figure looks to be a mere copy and infeior version of thebtrue Optimus which I think suits the figure and the character more. So if they make a Nemesis Prime repaint of this I would get it.
We actually agree on this figure, Optibotimus. You were far kinder, however. But the final thoughts were perfect.
