    Everything but the rear of the vehicle mold is pure win. I wish the legs could fully snap closed (creating a thinner side profile) and lock together (side to side for stability).

    Robot mold w/ chromed target master though. . . awesomeness. like he walked off of the tv screen.

    I agree. The mold is steller, I prefer the darker purple but that of course is just me. Besides it's much less than the Henkei version would be.

    Yes, the toy is fantastic. I have both the Henkei and the Universe releases displayed on my shelf.

    That said. All the "fabulous" remarks are far from old. The toy is a light purple. So what. The notion that darker colors = cooler or "badass" is ridiculous.

    Don't think I've ever heard people saying they prefer the darker colours because they're more "badass".

    I prefer the darker colours because of the accuracy to the original toy colours. Though in a minority to those who worship the 80s cartoon as the definitive G1 story, myself and others liked the toys first - and foremost still!
