    Most impressive. I've resorted to a much lazier, but convenient for accessory storage solution to making the underside less gappy......... IMG_20200224_205510.jpg

    Grapple approves.

    Just a really dumb question for those who own him and the Legends Ginrai with the PE upgrades, can he tow the power master trailer?

    I’m asking this since I intend to use the trailer from PE’s Godforce Warrior repaint of their Jetpower Revive Prime as they are compatible with Jinrai Prime

    I think it would look pretty wicked

    It attaches to his back for him to lay down and be operated on.

    I got this guy yesterday.

    First impression: Literally the most boring figure I own.

    He’s Optimus! Just stripped to his most generic, most check-box ticky self. I loved Siege Optimus because he was so very G1 but he had a bit of pizazz too, but this guy... I don’t know. The main draw here is the Matrix in his chest, which I guess is pretty cool.

    Also, I have to say it. Charging Leader price for Ultra Magnus, Shockwave, Galaxy Convoy and especially Astrotrain was a little cheeky. This guy however is a Voyager with an empty plastic box. I feel like Hasbro’s having us on a bit.

    Don’t mean to be negative but honestly I’m thoroughly unimpressed with this guy.

    For those that wanted a more G1 toy centric head on their Earthrise Prime, the Galaxy Upgrade Prime head sculpt pops right on and looks great.

    I appreciate everyone's detailed feedback.
    I just can't justify $50 for this, tho. Cancelled my preorder, hoping for a discount down the road..

    I payed 37.50 usd for Prime with the current Target sale. That’s a much more attractive price.

    That's perfect, did you confirm that it fits in alt mode?

    Unfortunately, its just a smiiiiiidge too big. The window section wont collapse down completely.

    Edit: Actually, was wrong. You can get it to fit, but its all very exact.

    Fits just fine when in alt mode. This head is actually very slightly smaller than the Earthrise head sculpt.
