    Except it’s not garbage though and is still respected and acknowledge to this day. And even without the cartoon, I’d still prefer the blue legs.

    In my opinion it's garbage.
    Especially when I can only sit through 2 episodes that I actually enjoy.
    Rest of it? Nah.

    I gotta ask... Which 2 episodes?

    "Foolish flesh creatures!"

    That expression is priceless. Haha. More so than the ruby crystals of Burma.

    I was gonna say the silver shins were G1 toy-accurate, but not even the G1 toy had them.

    ...Where did the silver shins come from?

    Masterpiece 01 Optimus Prime I believe. They were adjustable flaps and for right or wrong, the color scheme stuck.

    There are better episodes than them, although I like those two too.

    That Silver pop pulls the color scheme together, it would be a shame for it to be absent, but I'm sure we'll get an 86 version sooner or later.

    The silver shins originate with 20th Anniversary Optimus, aka MP01, as near as I can tell but seem to be a carry over from Armada Optimus.

    The cartoons and comics had blue shins, as did the toys.

    20th Anniversary is the first toy to do it (in muted gunmetal) as G1 Optimus. Robotmasters did it. Then Pepsi Convoy. Classics was the first retail mainline U.S. release to do it in the DVD 2 pack. After that, almost every figure did it.

    I'd like a metallic pearl white. Give it some sheen but make it bright, not dingy.

    I have an extra set of Kingdom UM armor for $25 shipped (in USA) if anyone is working on custom armor for Prime.

    No. It's just gravity plus tension, plus some odd shapes which make everything work in an unintuitive manner.

    There's no magic involved. It's just defying ordinary patterns of human intuition. Like a triple negative. "I never said that I don't disagree!" If you can unravel what that means, you'll also be able to understand how this stand works.

    Does anyone know the size/ dimensions of the screws that go on the stand itself? One I got only had the screws for the stand arms

    I think the problem is that they mold them as vents, it it was molded as a series of rectangles it would like fine without the silver added
