I just noticed these shoulder bits open on a hinge. I assume it must be for the up coming jet power upgrade kit.

 

I think they haven’t shown it yet but probably definitely considered and planned it. I’m sure Star Saber has these little secrets as well.

 

OwO
I just realized the bits on the outside of his legs come off as well revealing a place to plug something in.

 

Aren’t those for LED access?

 

Not on prime. The lights are in his knees. The piece on the outside of his leg detaches kinda like on Drift. Underneath is a spot to attach something.

 

Most intriguing.

 

Instead of posting 20 pics in a row,I did some sort of Slideshow for this figure!
Maybe some people might enjoy this:

 

Oh rad I’ll check it later

 

Will be greatly appreciated!

 

Certainly some nice photography, the lighting shows up ver well.

 

It really does seem like the fandom doesn't like non-transforming transformers figures as a whole.

 

I wouldn’t say that, there are a lot of us who want high end action figures of TF characters. The folks who don’t like them are just very vocal about it.

 

Ehhhh, a vocal part but not the majority. Between seibertron, TFW2005 and reddit, I see lots of positive reception to this stuff.

 

I’d honestly think its not much of a big minority/majority split if you were to really look at it.

 

Hi guys, seeing as how it’s been months since this release, what known problems have popped up on the toy? Been thinking of getting one

 

I think the problem is moreso that genuine interest in this line is somewhat narrow because of the high buy-in cost.

 

Maybe double check the switches for the LEDs, as they like, this small plastic notch. On my 3K Prime they're fine, but my 3K Megs came with a stressed one on his shoulders that eventually broke off due to how tight those switches are. I had to use a screw driver to move it towards the "ON" position permanently, and only put in the batteries when I wanted to light it up.

Generally they're well built, but due to the weight the hip joint may feel weaker than you'd like. There's no way Prime/Starsaber could strike a dynamic pose without the stand once they armored up.

 

Mine has loose knee joints.

 

This is something they all have. I don't really consider loose as more they move very smoothly compared to the others.

I have had no problems with any of mine. There are definitely some sharp or thin parts to look out for on each, but Optimus doesn't really have much of that other than his antenna.

 

I would say too smoothly on my copy. I have most of the other K^3 releases and they have some perfectly toleranced joints. I wouldn’t put the knee joints on my Optimus in that category.
