    That would probably be near impossible with the budget of a leader class figure. ER prime is made up of a lot more parts than the Siege Inner robot , Which would mean that most of the production budget would go to The inner robot and not the actual armor.

    I think we've got a preview of Dinobot's animation from Netflix's WFC Kingdom:

    I knew it reminded me of something.

    Man, how fu*king apathetic do you have to be about your product to not notice that Magnus's crotch piece is wrong in every single shot.
    Fu*king Hasbro, just a bunch of business bruhs that don't give a shit about anything...

    So I’m gonna be completely honest, Magnus deserved the Commander price point more Rodimus.

    i’m fine with what we got , But Damnnn would Magnus look amazing with the Size and Budget of a Commander figure.

    and it only costs over $100 and someone to take another figure after it’s released and given time to add on to it to achieve it.

    Count me in for all 3. Don’t mind doing some slight paint work to make them all pop that much more. The nitpicks most (including myself) have with these are just that, and can easily be remedied. Haven’t most of us gotten use to tightening loose joints, adding a dab of paint here or there, or adding/removing stickers by this point? Sadly? *shrug*

    I *was* perfectly content with CW Magnus, especially after painting & stickering him up, but then he had to go & do a shelf dive & break an antenna. Now he’ll probably stay in alt mode til I fix him & this one will be in bot mode on my shelf.

    And everyone saying “if only I knew this when Siege came out...” I find hilarious, albeit shortsighted. Did none of you notice the retooling trend picking up steam since Thrilling 30? Or sooner? When my buddy asked why I wasn’t getting Siege UM, OP, Ironhide, Ratchet, SW, Prowl, etc., I said “Hasbro isn’t getting me this time. You KNOW they have G1 retools planned for all of these.” YOU HEAR THAT HASTAK, I BEAT YOU AT YOUR OWN GAME THIS TIME FOR ONCE, AH HAHAHA!!!

    I'm sure it slides up like the Siege version. Shame on the photographer and anyone standing by.

    On another note please Airraptor or Arcadis from Airrazer!!!!!

    I can’t tell which is worse: Hasbro’s photographers and them not putting any effort into transforming the toys , Or TakaraTomy’s photographers always using figures Prototype color-schemes

    I figured that going in and I still bought them. Because now I have nearly definitive cybertronian versions of some of my favorite g1 characters.

    I think the photographers are just contractors, not Hasbro employees, and I'm not sure they even have the instructions or experience transforming them.

    But you'd think Hasbro would have an actual employee familiar with the toys available to ensure they are transformed correctly.

    Once I get the smudge paint removed I'll be fine with the Siege version.

    Boy...It really does seem like someone at Hasbro can't get away from the impression that Dinobot's sword was purple...I know it has to do with the lighting in some of the show's screenshots gave it a purplish hue, but...Come on...Just make it silver.
    I also wonder if you can turn the robot feet around on Dinobot,(It really doesn't look like it.) might streamline the under-kibble just a tad more...All in all though, it's still the best mainline version of the character we are probably gonna get.
    The robot-mode is perfect.

    Bad in that it's a rather weak remold of what was a pretty stellar figure.

    I was worried if I should have waited before getting the Siege Magnus, but I think I actually like his "cybertronian" truck cab more. Makes him more unique
    I'm also one of those weirdos that actually likes the scuffed battle damage.

    hasbro doesn’t have photographers. They’re commissioned out. They don’t even know what they’re photographing till they get in or show up for it. Usually it’s just shipped to them they do photos and send them back. I’ve listened to photographers talk about such things and they say the worst thing to photograph are toys because that have no idea what it is. It’s not just hasbro it’s most things. The problem is with transformers is they transform. Something most toys don’t do so it’s extra hard to deal with
