    It's pretty weird they based it on the toy, instead of the actual design. It's not like it has to transform.

    Pretty sure I once tried to build an R2-D2 from this brand. It sucked and broke when I was almost finished with it.

    They based it off a mistransformed version of the Voyager figure so no wonder it looks weird

    I had a G1 Optimus from Metal Earth - that kit was a nightmare to assemble. I gave it up halfway.

    Can you imagine spending so much time to build something this ugly?

    My parents can imagine :')

    Anyways... I never had one of these metal kits. If they are made of metal sheets, aren't they sharp? Do I need a vaccine before building them?

    YES you do... I dont show it, but I talk about it in my Soundwave build video... I did cut myself bad while building it and bled all over the place...

    the MU MODELS are far better than Metal Earth:
