    got a color match for the blue or did you have to do some mixing?

    whoa, that robot scale is better than i expected. can you measure prime's alt mode width for me if you get the chance?

    Mixed a generic blue from Michael's with some black. Nothing special

    Well.. I didn't expect a Masterpiece, but is he comparable to Siege Optimus at least? :(

    What's wrong with it then? From reviews, people have been saying good things.

    Yeah it is sorta annoying when someone disses a figure just because the personally had a poor QC issue or two. It's gonna annoy me if he's less good than the Siege one though since I skipped out on the Siege Optimus to get this guy.

    Sculpt wise hes good, balance wise he is amazing but he is limited in articulation like his shoulder kibble hit his backpack making it so he cant reaxh anything over a 45 degree angle of rotation, the knees are severely limited to where they are less than 40 degrees elbows are limited do to kibble bumping against everything, he cannot put arms straight down to side in any angle do to the back pack and elbow kibble, do to how the neck is molded he looks up if you turn his head sideways his waist can only turn 4o degrees in each direction, his ankles are limited on rockers (although it's better than nothing) so I am not bashing him because of QC @SillyMcGilly he is being bashed on kibble getting in the way of each other limiting him severely in articulation, making it frustrating to pose

    You must be doing something wrong, cuz Emgo's review showed his articulation was pretty dang good.

    But if it's really that bad, I'll just stop the preorder. I was really looking forward to this, but am starting to become very frustrated at the whole thing. I don't even know who to believe.

    @pokemonsdoom I just want a good Optimus. I thought the SS 38 one looked better than the Siege one in proportions, but I'll get the other if it feels better.

    I'd go with the BB one, he looks much better and balances better. even with limited poseability he can balance on one leg

    Cool, I do like his overall look much better. I do hope they redo the Siege one in cartoon colors though.

    Sure thing!
    Just from a quick measurement, the length of the truck is roughly 6 and a half inches and the width of his cab is roughly 3 and 3/4 inches.

    Congrats on getting the figure. I picked mine up yesterday at my local Walmart store. Only had one. There were two rampage figures.

    I was able to find him at a Walmart today. The red could've been a little brighter, but a really good figure.
