    Hey has anyone bought a KO G1 prime lately? I bought one about 7-8 years ago and it was kinda grap (wouldn't roll, legs wouldn't stay up in truck mode, trailer didn't snap together properly) so I sold it. My kid now wants one, I know the quality ebbs and flows, are they decent now?

    I just gave my KO G1 Optimus to my 4 year old son, because he really wanted it. It's so cool and missing link is on the way. One wheel didn't roll smoothly and the trailer is a bitch to open. This is actually what a decent KO is. KO G1 Smokescreen is what a not decent KO is.

    Got it today, totally worth it....mostly.

    It did ship with the legs detached...

    Here's a full comparison with the OG G1 Metroplex.

    All in all, pretty great for a cheap KO! Plastic is kinda bad, but doable. The stickers are great! Legs are a bit loose, as others have stated (especially since I had to reconnect them!) Totally happy with this purchase.
