    Ask Hasbro they gave it the name "High-Precision Launcher Gauntlet". Also Autobot do kill, this is a war.

    I was attempting humor. In Animated, the war ended when Megatron and his followers were arrested. Also, that's where the term POKE comes from.

    Just picked up Prowl, and I love him! At long last, I can lay the old sticky-paint, pop-off door, hollow-bodied, head on a platter, Junior Soprano faced CHUG version to rest, lol. I only ever needed one Earth mode version for Prowl, and that's the MP. This is the version for my desk to fiddle around and pose with. And speaking of MP, he's like a mini MP version, especially with the ankle pivots. I'm really digging the vehicle mode too, man. Love the stream lines and transparent windshield. The car kinda reminds me of a futuristic version of a 1977 Corvette Stingray (if that makes sense), which to me is rad (my Dad had one back in the day; what a rad car!)

    As for the hollow legs, I'm not bothered by them. They look so much better in person. Any how, Hasbro really nailed the sweet-spot for me with this line. It's what I've always wanted with the posability, the Cybertron modes, and G1 aesthetic. Maaaan, I hope they get as much of the core Autobot cast as possible, especially Jazz and Sunstreaker! Now if only Hasbro could do something this innovative with their Star Wars line!

    Hasbro's "quality control" (until now I had only minor issues - though with almost every figure - like missing paint on Sixgun's foot, loose joints on Hound, crack on the Chromia's windshield...):

    I wonder what will seller say about this...

    I was actually thinking of "Gimme yo face!" when I took these. Technically he snapped ten years ago.

    I was thinking of a good trailer for the Voyager Siege Prime, maybe the trailer from the Cyberverse prime.
    Anyone have any pics to share of him with different trailer prospects?

    Does anyone have both Siege Galaxy upgrade Optimus and Cybertron Voyager Vector Prime? I'd like to know how Vector's sword looks with Optimus.

    The Cyberverse trailer doesn't fit. The wheels are too small and the front connection is too short (height-wise).
    The G1 trailer is pretty close but needs a different attachment.

    I love how Galaxy Optimus is articulated enough to do this. IMG_0512.JPG IMG_0511.JPG
    The night Optimus went crazy
    The night Prime went insane
    Realized he was getting a raw deal
    Something finally must have snapped in his brain
