The joints avoid the limitations of ball joints. Ball joints need that "cutout" in the socket and are limited in their motion by where the cutout is placed. Revolver joints swivel at both ends of the joint. Range of motion is not restriced in any way. The problem is that they can be a small pain to pose sometime... For instance you may want the hip joint to swivel where it connects to the pelvis, but every time you twist the leg the pelvis connection holds firm and the joint swivels where it connects to the upper thigh insted. So you have to get in there and really fiddle with it...and after about 5 seconds you get the movement you want.

Personally I really like the Prime fig but he does need to be bulky, and I take a lot of issue with this movie.

I know bro ....just kidding around.....but I agree, I dont think Hasbro just decided to get up one day and steal what Revoltech did. I just call it cramping Revoltech's style with these so called Transformers.

Thats just my opnion, pay me no mind, I really dont care for the Movie Transformers.......maybe Jazz because he is the the only one that look somewhat decent outside of Prime....but the rest are just butt so cheesy ugly.
