    If it makes you feel any better, my brother - only 4 years younger... - calls me (bleeding edge of 23) a boomer at every chance he gets.

    I'm either the oldest gen Z or the youngest millennial. Either way, I lose :D

    The first thing I'm gonna do when I get this set is to combine Optimus with 4 set of arms. Just because.

    I like it. Makes it seem more like an actual drone rather than just "helicopter but smol" that the original was.

    Too similar to the fire truck for my liking. The entire top half of the vehicle itself is the exact same mold, only differing in the panels on the bottom half and the obvious livery up top like the ladder and propellers. Even the wind veiny looking section is the same mold.

    Hopefully drill actually has a drill foot rather than the same gundam toe thing the others have.

    To be fair portliness and Energon Prime aren't exactly strangers to one another.

    I hope they get together with Toyhax again and make the energon star port/spark crystal thing.

    I also don't know how I feel about this, it switches between one poorly proportioned robot mode and one that's half backpack.

    I really like it, damn shame for my wallet tho. Really the only thing I'd say I didn't like is the face, not even the entire head just the eye area.

    Also cool to see how the super mode helmet attaches now, gives him actual head movement.

    I personally think the eyes are too low. And imo the mask is slightly too small. The helmet itself is fine, the problem looks to be simply the face area. It looks zoomed out, if that makes any sense

    Yeah that's it. It's not bad by any means, just wish it was slightly better.

    I agree, the eyes are too low

    Problem isn't even that the eyes are too low, it's that they're too far away from the brow of the helmet, making them look lower than they actually are. Almost feels like someone stretched the head making it way too tall and spread apart.

    Digibash for possible coloured look. Did both his white and red chest appearance.
