    If I had one nitpick with this gal, it's that I wish she was as tall as Override is.

    Other than that, she's marvelous.

    Looking good! Nice looking sculpt, great posability and a very distinct alt mode.

    Definitely didn't expect her to be shorter than the kingdom Arcee mold. Probably still gonna buy it though

    They really committed to the scale here.

    Definitely not a ploy to sell $25 Legend scaled figures.

    Love how customizable the backpack is, the articulation is great and the deco is fantastic.

    Easily one of the best Fembots recently and I can't wait for more uses of this mould.

    Is neat that the back panels can be moved around a lot, although I still think the stock configuration is the best looking.

    You end up with some interesting alternative options when you "choose" *wink wink* to not look at the instructions

    By the way, I think is because of the perspective that Legacy Elita looks shorter than Earthrise Arcee because she seems about the same size as Netflix Elita and Arcee and her share the same mould.

    Honestly unless something is given as scale to reference, I always assume a toy is bigger or smaller than it actually is, like with Elita or many Legends figures.

    Same goes with Cartoons honestly, like I can't imagine the PWT or WFC cartoon characters being even the same size let along bigger than even the Energon cartoon models.

    At work right now, so I can't watch the review atm, but just as I suspected, this Elita seems really tiny and too cute for Optimus' ass kicking girlfriend.

    She doesn't look bad, but to me she looks almost like an anime teenage girl.

    Even if the Netflix isn't that great of a figure, I feel that one does a better job of looking like a Cybertronian warrior first lady.

    I still can’t get past the disjointed color distribution in alt mode. Looking forward to Minerva though, as it looks like a good design in general.

    She looks great, look forward to getting her probably my most anticipated of wave 2 of Legacy.

    Really small. Looks like it might be even smaller than ER Arcee. Was kind of hoping to get one but she doesn't seem tough enough. Hopefully I can snag a Minerva and Minerva's colors make for a better looking alt mode if not there be a bit of a remold. Still no fan of that Cybertronian alt mode.

    She looks slightly smaller than the ER Arcee mold. Not a lot but slightly.

    I'm doubtful the Walgreens repaint into Minerva will be a headmaster

    Yeah, looking at the images put up from the review she would pretty much be a bobblehead. Too bad because not only will she lack an alt mode similar to her original (thanks to Hasbro's obsession with tiny Cybertronian fembots) but also her original gimmick.

    Still want to see a TFA Nightbeat from this mold, though. It seems very well suited for her.
