Reveal the Shield Legends Optimus Prime

He's little, he's red and he is wicked! sure he has the leg articlation of a brick and stabilizers on his wrists but for his size he looks really nice, has a torso swivel and good arm articulation, he also makes a nice little truck.

Very nice! It's hilarious that he has a better truck mode than Classics Deluxe OP and THS Convoy. (And, if I'm honest, probably a better robot mode than the Deluxe, too.)

Newest Additions: Lots of stuff I'm too lazy to list right now.

Agreed. And the paint aps seem pretty decent for a Legends class. At least it's not like Starscream with an unpainted head.

Really looking forward to this one. And while I knew he didn't have knees already, I'm still irked by it. Legends are half the price of a deluxe, but don't have half the plastic nor half the number of moving parts. I can understand when the plastic is too thin to support a joint, but for something like this it's ridiculous. Even small figures like the pcc minicons have knees and Nightstick has tiny elbows.

All that aside, really wanting him, these new legends are gonna look great with metroplex.

I was going to go for him, but now I've seen the pics of those horrible arms I think I'll give it a miss.

Damn shame.

Seeing the wheels under the hands makes me wonder if Op can pull off some sort of "mancycle" alternate transformation.

That was exactly my thought when Legends Animated Prime came out.

These kibble arms, however, aren't as much of a detraction for me this time around.

definately be picking him up. its a shame though about the leg articulation. there is really no reason he should have any. looks easy enough to fix though
