"But I won't, cause this I's a fucking family show"
Truer words have never been fucking spoken
I'm glad you agree.
They could have used magnets for the chest piece
They could have done a million things.
scok

Velcro would of been more effective
@@Sky_8D Velcro wears out much faster. Magnets can last for years.
@@nujevad28 I’m just saying Velcro would be better than what they did
This one’s helmet design is now one of my faves.
It's really cool, and it's got a Smiley Face printed on it.
I've got quite a lot of FansHobby stuff, including their take on G1 Power Master Optimus/Ginrai, but somehow never realized this one (and their G1.5 Thunderclash) were effectively retools of that figure. I'm more attached to the Thunderclash version as it was a toy I really wanted as a kid but somehow never managed to get, but I think this one looks pretty neat as well.
Getting the truck cab to slot into the trailer for combined bot mode has always been kind of a pain with this mold tho.
Yeah it sucked. If you notice it was for most of the video not attached properly because when I went through the the whole Rigmarole of combining and transforming him and taking him apart, to write the script, I just couldn't get it back in place properly.
Watching the drawn out diagram of how the best wedges into the arm gap almost made me spit out my coffee, the shaking of anger in the wedges as you explain it feels like every time I've ever explained why I hate something rolled into one, therapeutic!
I'm glad to hear that it got you so good. I've known for like a Full year that I wanted to do that to illustrate the problem here.
I like how he's meant to be battle already but he has a smiley face on the mouth plate
I noticed that too in the edit.
I’m… actually impressed you somehow found a parts-forming piece that could rival Cliffjumper’s
Oh this is worse than Cliffjumpers. Cliffjumpers is pointless and dumb. This is just awful.
Holy Primus, this is probably the most enraged you’ve been over a toy (and that’s even with putting Cliff into account)
What about Dai Atlas?
If animated came back it should be done by the people who did rise of the tmnt
Like the Animation Studio or the writers?
@@PerspectiveEnd yes all 3
If this helps, as a fellow Machine Eagle owner, you can extend the bottom part of the front truck grill in the combined mode and then attach the chestpiece. That way, the piece itself fits a bit better
I did not know that. I always thought it looked like that part moved, but I tried a bunch and just concluded that it doesn't move.
@@PerspectiveEnd Just be careful if you do attempt to move it. Just to prevent any potential breakage
every time that partforming plate piece flew off the figure, i literally had a sudden sharp reflex reaction in my jaw, like a flinch or something. it felt that uncomfortable. it must be really frustrating in person
Oh it's so much worse in person. I didn't catch a lot of it on camera, but that's just because I knew to structure my shots around avoiding it. It is constant and unbearable.
Most people I’ve seen usually get this guy to have a big MP scale Powermaster Prime in their collection. Most don’t care too much about the other modes outside of the main combined mode.
It’s clear that this guy was mostly made with the thought of “we need to find a way to retool this guy to look roughly like this other guy as cheaply as possible”. Quite the shame, as having a version of that character that isn’t suffering from GPS would be neat.
I mean I feel like they could have come up with a better way to peg it on without changing anything, just by making the partsfroming piece not stupid.
My jaw actually dropped seeing the wedge pegs, dude must have been in a coma designing those
and to add insult to injury, atleast Dai-Atlas's noodle holds the torso and legs together atleast within an inch
What is this about Dai Atlas?
And yes the Wedges are actually mind boggling.
@@PerspectiveEnd wasnt dai atlas held together at the waist by a literal noodle of joints? im saying that it atleast held the 2 halves of the figure near eachother, not this wedge bs that could fall apart if i inhaled near it
The highlight of the day. May you find all that you seek in success and accomplishments.
Thank you. Proud to hear that I could brighten up your day with my insanity.
That slot for the gun is fantastic, it should be standardized amongst 3P/MP!
Agreed, and I don't know why it's not.
Hey perspective I don't know how often you hear this but I just want to say I enjoy your content ever since I first started watching, I find your content and review style just find it refreshing, how unfiltered you can be which leads to some funny remarks and that you interact more with you audience, it's nice to talk to another TF sometimes as it kinda feels like a niche thing because when i talk to about it non TF fan's they assume the terrible bay movies which kinda sucks but it's nice to be part of community with other fans here which reminds me I still can't get over the wheeljack joke where I commented wheeljack more like dealin crack and than you replied wheel jack more like kidnapping kids in back.
But yeah just wanted to get that out because your cool dude and one of my favourite creators and just wanted to get it out incase your having a bad time.
Thank you very much, it always warms my heart to hear this stuff.
Yeah, I know what you mean about people assuming it's about the Bay Films.
Man I don't remember saying that, but I do kind of remember you doing the Dealin crack bit.
I'm not having a bad time. I just really convincingly play someone having a bad time on TV.
But again thank you.
I was going to do something until I got the notification of this, and I just went "Nevermind, Perspective End time and wait... upload on Friday? Lets gooo"
Yeah, it was hard but I got it out for *THE WEEK*
I considered "super" mode to be a related but distinct from combiner technology. With a combiner you have to seperate and independent robots, complete with their own alt-modes you combine into a large robot with no alt-mode. With a "super" mode you have one complete independent robot with his own alt-mode and then an "accessory" which usually isn't a "proper" vehicle and doesn't have a robot mode. They do "combine" together in the literal sense of the word but not in the Transformer sense of the term. Then on top of that some "super" modes have a "hyper" mode, such as Apex to Powermaster Prime's "super" mode. They related technologies but not the same.
All of this is fair, but does that mean I have not Cheated? Because the point of this week was supposed to be guys who were just Inherently Huge.
Obviously this isn't the most accurate representation of this character (he's not supposed to have a super mode and the base mode is WAY bigger) but I understand that Fans Hobby more tries to emulate the character and for that, excellent job guys!
I mean as a Retool it makes sense, but damn what doesn't is how PHONED in the Retool Aspect is.
WOW, that is a horrible chest plate!! Thank you so much for this outstanding review PerspectiveEnd! I almost contemplated getting the Thunderclash version of this figure a few years ago, but passed on it since it was going for $300 on Amazon. Your review has dissolved all my regrets due to this figures horrible QC issues, especially that chest plate that wants to fall off an become an actual plate. lol Keep on being amazing.
I don't know if that's a QC Issue or them just being insane. Like it's not like there's a good working version of this.
The moment he started talking about the chest piece, I started hearing boss music
As you should.
My headcanon for MW Prime is the form that he take after the war ended, and decided to become an explorer.
Someone else told me, that their head cannon is, it's Dion if he was Rebuilt by Trion first.
The core robot must have had both his kidneys stolen
And they just never sewed him back up.
Kinda shame it turned out as it did, I love idea of Prime combining with his trailer, as it makes adding giant block of plastic to him is finally worth it
I feel like it can be worth it other ways, but it is very fun when it happens... Typically.
4:10
That sound reminds me of when I used to put batteries in a remote and feel like I’m loading a rifle.
I do feel you on that.
I forget what third party figure it was but I have seen reviews of some third party figures that have their weapons designed to be held in the same way this figure does, and honestly I'm really surprised it hasn't been done more, Its great.
in addition to fans hobby, make toys thunder manus has a similar way to hold weapons. dunno about their other figures as thats my only one.
It's funny that a Different Power Master Optimus Prime holds their guns the same way.
Yeah have a couple myself just commented that, was surprised this was his first time seeing that
Yet again, a figure that probably works better as the black Nemesis repaint because some of the flaws fade into the darkness and become barely noticable.
Great review, I kinda liked that it was a bit all over the place and random and legit I don't remember you raging this badly. Toyworld Constructor probably made you a ton angrier and you cussed a lot more, but that rage, shouting and voice crack... I loved that 😂
Quite possibly yes. Dark colors do hide flaws.
Yeah I left the crack in because it felt right.
In the last 3 years or so I always thought that the base bot modes gut was a deliberate design choice because of how out there it is.
Man I just can't get behind that. There's no way you do something that hideous as an intentional act.
The person who designed that chest piece wanted people to suffer 💀
Why are we here, just to suffer.
Perspective End screaming about the partsforming tab genuinely scares me.
Sorry about that. It's the Partsforming. It drove me Crazy.
@@PerspectiveEnd No need to apologize. It's just that I have no witty banter to write so I just wrote that observation.
I actually have a sealed Machine Wars Optimus as the centerpiece of my collection. I may have no connection to Machine Wars but he was only like 70 bucks.
That's pretty cool. And unlike Thunderclash he doesn't have GPS so if you ever did open that up, it'd still be in working condition.
I want a commander class thunderclash, his design is pretty cool.
Also something very small that always annoys me, thunderclash and the others from that era are g1 characters. They were released at the end of g1 (outside of America) and then a few of them were rereleased in g2
I don't know that he needs to be a Commander Class, unless they went ALLLLLLL OUT on that Trailer. It BETTER have Spring Fired Missiles if they do.
Yeah, they were kind of that G1.5 crew.
From 1994 until 1998 Power Rangers had the peg hands to fit their weapons.
I had those figures, and I remember how the hands worked, but I don't think they had these slots like this.
2:02 It looks more like Ultra Magnus trying to cosplay as Optimus, but he’s too thicc to actually pull it off
That's an interesting idea, what if Magnus became Optimus.
Man I’m surprised that you published 2 videos in the span of a day, very interestingggggg,
r.i.p machine wars starscream, left to rot in then tree. :cry:
and also, You somehow remind me of James Rolfe but if he reviewed transformers for his whole channel. Too good too good
This is just the old Schedule I used to have.
I have been called the Angry Video Game Nerd of TF Reviewers before.
i mean there’s nothing wrong with him. Same with you
I like to think machine wars prime is actually Dion as a prime in a flashpoint paradox reality
That is an interesting take on the character.
@@PerspectiveEnd I could tell you more on your Discord server if you want?
6:34 When the smart friend says something really stupid.
I feel like that's more the Smart friend when dealing with the Dumbest Friend who though it would be a good idea to boof some hot sauce.
Speaking of Machine Wars... here to hoping the RID Towline retool of Evo.Leg. Scraphook gets redecos as Machine Wars Hoist & Hubcap.
It's definitely within the realm of possibilities.
6:30 - 6:42 This is probably Perspective at his most mad-confused
Indeed it is. That's exactly what you just experienced with your Ear Holes.
You should make a Big Bois playlist. I was introduced to the channel through the 3P Defensor review but I'm having trouble finding the older big boi videos. I love bingeing your older content as well as watching the newer vids.
That's a good Idea I will get on that.
It is done.
@@PerspectiveEndThank you! I can't wait to watch them.
That slot in the hand is an awesome idea
I know right!
I remember fans hobby Overlord. Thats the textbook definition of big bois.
I've never seen a Size Comparison for that thing so I don't know how big it is.
@@PerspectiveEnd , imagine it 2 inches taller than fans toys Phoenix.
Man, I always thought Machine Wars was the coolest line since G2's also another one of my favorite TF series in my unpopular opinion lol.
Machine Wars definitely had a unique cool factor to it, that I kind of want to go back to.
This is an… interesting figure, to say the least. Btw as someone who grew up with Prime and the Cybertron games, I am really looking forward to you roasting my favorite designs. And seeing as you love Bruticus, what did you think of his FoC design?
Will will do some more roasting soon, so hopefully that gets voted on next.
3:39
optimus: feeling lucky punk
alpha trion: easy optimus
optimus: just kidding i just wanted to show them my cannons
NOOO! NOOOOO!!! DONT DO THAT!!!
@@PerspectiveEnd mwahahahahahah
Those missiles are so badass. They could pass as real bullets from a distance. Australian customs would confiscate that straight away
I mean they are GIANT compared to bullets, but yes they kind of could.
Fun fact: Thunderclash is from G1, he was exclusive to Europe
Wasn't he from G1.5?
@@PerspectiveEnd probably, him and his team were part of the last things from G1
“Big boy” hearing that made me instantly think of knock out
Why does that make you think of him.
@@PerspectiveEnd 😏 If you’ve watched prime…
@@PerspectiveEnd Because Knock Out is the type of bot who says those two words in a tone so sultry it sounds like a... specific euphemism.
Hey, you got the one I recommended to you a couple years ago, I personally love mine, especially combined with the God Armor (apex armor)
Btw the partsforming piece works really well for my figure so it's probably a qc thing, and the core robot is supposed to look like that for Ginrai/ core bot Optimus
It's been so long, I didn't remember who Recommended it, but I did buy it on that Recommendation. So thanks for reminding me who to blame.
I don't understand how that's possible. The way it plugs on is literally insane.
@@PerspectiveEnd the more square shaped tabs have better friction on mine, so it’s probably related to that
I used to own the original power master optimus way back before I seriously collected figures and I ended up giving it to goodwill, oh the pain.
Oh yeah that's brutal. Especially considering how valuable that thing is now a days.
Some men loose their minds after experiencing the horrors of war.
Perspectiveend looses his mind after experiencing the horrors of shitty parts-forming.
It's like a war... Kinda... Maybe...
From reviews I've seen, their Powermaster Optimus/Super Ginrai "Power Baser" is pretty decent...I'd personally wanna get the full God Ginrai set repainted in orange & red as Fire Guts God Ginrai (and I completely forgot their name for that repaint, not that I know ever bothered to learn to begin with). On the other hand, hawt diggity DAYUM, that price!!😮😮😮 Shiiiiiit...I'll just be good with the Takara Transformers Legends LGEX God Ginrai...
However...that large head for the Machine Wars Optimus is fuckin' siiick!! Fans Hobby should consider selling that part by itself for folks who want the previous versions of the mold, in respective colors according to each version (original PMOP, black Nucleeon Quest Superconvoy, red/orange Fire Guts, purple Shattered Glass, etc.)
Yeah that price is brutal for a Partsforming Piece like this.
I don't think any third party company ever has just sold one of the standard headsculpts for their figures separately.
Those missiles look like adult toys for the ladies.
Man I don't know about that.
I had a G1 Thunderclash as a kid, and I thought of him as my stand-in Ultra Magnus
He does have some Magnus Energy.
I feel it is an in-character requisite for Thunderclash to be a "good poser". Heh.
Was that like subtle shade against Thunderclash?
@@PerspectiveEnd A bit, yeah. Still, can't help but enjoy the glorious bastard in IDW.
Siege Cliffjumper is no longer the most hated partsformer on this channel XD
Well it already wasn't him. Or are we Forgetting Toyworld Devastator.
6:07 its those ear fetish guys
The lowest form of man.
"This is a fucking family show."/10
I didn't know that being a Fucking Family Show could be rated out of 10?
I own the Machine Wars Optimus (I’ll re-review him within the next month, have some newer stuff to get through), and I just got this recently from a friend of my channel. I DO like it, but my hands hurt, and GOD DAMN THAT CHEST PIECE. UGHHHHHHHHHH
Oh and this was my first 3rd party, and my only MP-Scale figure. :)
Glad you like it, sorry that your figure is just as insane as mine.
We want perspective slurs! Come on, all the cool kids say. Come on jake, smoke with us. All the cool kids doing it.
Nah. I'm good with not getting Canceled.
This mold is a fantastic Powermaster Prime and maybe a bit iffier as Thunderclash and MW Prime, but still good
I mean it'd still have the Bad Heels, but yes, without the Partsforming piece this would be way better.
Great to see a Friday video again.
Can't be a consistent thing. I BARELY got this out on time. But glad I managed for once in recent memory.
(Note commenting b4 watching the vid)
Dunno if PE has discussed Machine Wars b4, but the topic's sure to reappear again when Legacy Skyquake rolls around
Oh for sure. I hope for some Machine Wars Starscream repaints of that Skyquake.
They could've solved the chest piece with a magnet and thin metal strips attached to double sided tape.
There are many practical and Impractical ways they could have solved this.
9:58 the first figure to litterally be perspective's blender
I feel like there have been a few figures before that were combinations of ratings.
Fan’s hobby figs has the tracks in the hands too
You mean the other figures by this same company?
Fanshobby products are more expensive than Fans Toys. Which is absolutely ridiculous if you ask me.
I've not really run into that Phenomenon. I mean yeah this was 200 but so is most Fanstoys, and this is Significantly bigger than those.
I like the Austin powers reference there, nice 👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed that bit.
That core robot (without the chestplate) look like combiner wars prime with an unfinished c-section
I do see where you are coming from with that.
Alright folks make your bets, is the final review for this week of big bois, going to be say haslab star saber, a Titian or something completely different?
Well unless I'm a double Idiot, it's not a guy who combines to be big.
What point does a parts forming peace need to be resigned, because here, the goal post is seemingly ways away when it have been passed more than twice.
Also, something somewhat ironic, I only have a second party Optimus, being the Lego one. I have more 1st party Bumblebees than Optimus, hell, I have more 1st party needlenoses than 1st party Optimus.
(, 1 party is Hasbro and Takara, 3 party is unlicensed transformers, with 2 party being licensed but not Hasbro or Takara right?)
Man that is weird place to be in. Your only Optimus is a Semi Official one.
Also what do you mean the goal has already been passed?
@@PerspectiveEnd one, its partsforming, two it can barely hold on THE TOP OF THE TRUCK, WHEN GRAVITY IS ON ITS SIDE.
Which one do you think is faster?
Hot Rod or Wheelie?
Do you think Brawn can have TR Kup's leg engineering?
Which character do you think is the best partner for Warpath?
1. Hound
2. Roadbuster
3. Hardhead
4. Kup
I haven't seen new Core class figures at all since Legacy started.
What do I do? I want Legacy Shockwave and 86 Wheelie.
My bet would be on Hotrod.
Yes, I've seen at least one Third Party Brawn with TR Kup's Leggeneering.
I feel like hound.
I don't know, Ebay is a thing, so if you can only find them that way, it will probably work, but I don't know outside that for your country.
I’d love a generations Thunderclash. I don’t even need the trailer. Just give me my good paragon boi
That would be fun yes.
Random question, have you gotten the Legacy evolution Tarn?
It has Finally Arrived yes.
@@PerspectiveEnd review it after the week of BIIIG BOIIIS
Out of all your rages, the chest is now my favorite, dethroning the diatlas.
Also, are you going to get the trojan horse waspinator
Yes, I plan to get that Waspinator.
And I'm glad to hear this rant is up there with my Best. I was very proud of it in the moment.
Machine Warrior Prime: Power Master Prime on steroids
Yeah that's pretty apt.
6:37
How to break a Perspective End:
How to break anyone with a functioning brain.
Remember?
Parts forming is the best thing to ever exist and if you disagree, you should fucking burn.
-No one
Of Course.
-ABSOLUTELY No one
Would you say the engineering for the chest piece for this big boi is the worst thought design? Or is there something worse?
It might very well be the worst thought out thing I've ever covered. The only thing that gives me pause on that is because it's not a Ground Up design. This was designed after the original figure without being able to change that OG figure like an Upgrade kit.
This would be a lot less excusable if this was the base form of the mold and it was thought out this bad.
Though why they weren't allowed to change the base tooling is beyond me.
Darn, and this weas one I kind of wanted, too. Well, maybe we'll get a Legacy version, since they've already done his Decepticon counterpart Skyquake.
Yeah hopefully they put out a Machine Wars Optimus in this line, or at least a Thunderclash who they can retool into a Machine wars. But yes this guy is just infuriating.
@@PerspectiveEnd Skyquake in MW Starscream black and silver is my big want, but MW OP was ... well, theoretically cool. A lot better if the front/wings could fold up into samurai shoulder pads like the fanart I drew back in the day - entirely doable, if a little fiddly, basically just have the windshiled fold or slide down in behind the grille, then rotate the whole thing 90 up and back along the rotation axis of the shoulder if there ad been a shoulder joint to begin with, and fold along a hinge near trhe wheel ell so the half-grille ends up facing upward on top of the shoulders, with the wheel well/fender segment behind them. He'd still have been super squat proportions and have a chin worthyt of TF:Animated, but at least the arms wouldn't be stuck inside a pair of wing/shells.
If they came up with a missile-launch base mode trailer to use Crimbo Prime as G2 Hero OP it could work for a Thunderclash/MW OP trailer as well, the same way the ER OP trailer was put on entirely separate sprues for ease of reuse. I'd still rather see the cab sold as a VOY and the trialer a separate DX-equivalent via Generations Selects or something like that, at least as long as it's on the general online distrobution network and not a store exclusive, or at most an Amazon exclusive that basically everyone in the world who wants one can get anyway.
Only saw Thunderclash in IDW, and he was hilarious.
He was quite fun there yes.
That kind of looks like G2 Optimus.
I kind of see what you mean, what with the grey Chest and all, but this is based on a post G2 figure.
As much as I admire the overall character design, you had every right to inspect the many flaws with it.
Yes you’re uploading three days a week again😊
Not Permanently this was just for the week of Big Bois.
@@PerspectiveEnd ok
YOU FINALLY REVIEWED FANSHOBBY GINRAI!!! LET'S GO!!!!!
And how did you like the result?
@@PerspectiveEnd I loved it!
i do like to see Machine Wars Optimus Prime with the Combiner Wars Prime Mold
“Worst piece of partsforming in the history of partsforming” the entire rear of HISS Tank Megatron says hi
Man, I wish Hasbro would do a Machine Wars Optimus update sometime soon. Heck, why not redo all of MW? We’ve already got most of the right molds (Kingdom Mirage for MW Prowl and Mirage, Evolution Scraphook for MW Hoist and Hubcap, Evo Skyquake for gigachad Starscream, Selects Rotorstorm for Sandstorm, TR Hardhead for Soundwave) to retool into the main characters, so why not make that the next Amazon-exclusive subline?
The entire rear of the HISS tank can Fuck off cause it's losing this contest.
I'm fully expecting the Evo Skyquake to get turned into Black Titan Starscream.
This is probably your funniest video, love when you go full hater on a toy
I'm glad to hear that. I thought it turned out great.
Almost beats siege ultra magnus with the bloating thiccness
Oh, I'd say it does that for sure, not almost.
Have you heard about the combaticons series by Keyan Charlile Transformers Channel.
Oh that's who Kenyan Charlie is? I've never heard that's his name, but I have seen the trailer for that show.
I'm debating whether or not to grab the thunderclash version, I both love and hate what I see
It's the same figure as this. So it will have the same problems in a Different Color scheme.
I planned on ordering Fans hobby’s overlord but right now those plans are on hold. When I do get it though, I will tell you how it is, if you don’t have it already.
I do not have it, so I will be happy to hear from you when you get it to see how it turns out.
own a few fanshobby products myself and next to MMC and Maketoys they are my favourite 3p company. Their boxes even the big bois are not space hogs, their prices are not always wallet destroying, hell even THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICES is SUPERB. I personally feel their name really reflects, its not some of collecting obligation or pretentious declaration of owning something; its a HOBBY, something that is FUN
That's all fair, but man was this a Phoned in retool. I expect they've never released anything this dumb since.
@@PerspectiveEnd after this project I believe their next combining optimus they did was the armada prime which i own and is my personal favourite 3p toy for its presence and my aforementioned fun factor the company does seem to pride themselves in. The only annoying thing about that thing is the connection tabs on combined modes upper torso takes a HERCULAN strength to tab in and might not be the most posable thing out there given the design
It’s so funny cuz I have the fanshobby g1 power master Optimus and I adore the core robot mode but one day when I was messing with it I put it in a cool pose and left it there for a minute and the left arm exploded like the spring broke the ratchet area on the arm and now I gotta keep it in combined mode permanently
That's so weird and I'm sorry to hear that.
It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen you comment.
Wait, so how big is this figure's combined mode and core robot compared to other figures? I know you said bigger than dinobots, but there are quite a few figures bigger than the dinobots.
It's bigger than the Giga Power Dinobots. So that's your scale.
Ok so when is Gaudenter gonna show up in one of these. Still waiting! Was the “oh no I’ve gone cross eyed” a Thew bit, I swear I’ve heard it somewhere after someone got confused but I can’t remember where.
No that's an Austin Powers Bit.
And Gaudenter isn't going to show up in a week of Big Bois, but he will show up eventually now that I've done the WTB Grimlock.
Riiiight, I knew it was some British man. I shall be waiting.
The Machine Wars Prime design really speaks to me, so this figure gets a pass purely by merit of being the only modern rendition of that design, official or otherwise (another 3P did a repaint of IDW thunder clash but the designs are so different). That being said, its definitely a flawed figure, and one that I'll probably replace if Hasbro ever decides to acknowledge MWOP someday. One nitpick - the truck mode is actually (seemingly) based on a real truck, just one that is apparently more popular in Europe. If you search for a Scania flat-nose cab you'll find examples of trucks that look remarkably similar to this one.
I mean maybe the Grill is based on that, but in general that back half is all toy.
And yes that's why I bought this, because it's a Cool Prime Design, but man is this a flawed version.
Man, Fanshobby’s early toys kind of sucked… I don’t know if they had a fluke or just legitimately got better, but their Armada Prime and Megatron don’t reek anything CLOSE to this. Sure, they are heavily stylized and a lot of people reject them for that, but they retain just about all the play function of the original toys whilst still keeping a modern transformation and poseability.
…okay, the Armada Prime has a severe Build Quality issue on its first run, but people were sent replacement parts and newer runs of the figure don’t have that issue anymore…
Oh right they are the guys who did the Armada Stuff.
Wait. Commander Armada Prime is already out?
Thick?!?! Laughs in in Super-Link/Energon Optimus Prime.
I didn't say that.
@@PerspectiveEnd "semantic nonsense" ie I wasn't gonna rewind video while eating breakfast to check your exact wording. Anyhow, Energon OP makes makes this OP look like an anorexic.
Im just saying i did not notice the chest gap until u pointed it out. I just thought that part was colored Black. Even when u pointed it out i didnt really see the problem. Tho My eyesights not the best and i did grow up with lego Hero factory figures (yes lego used to also do buildible action figures look it up) and a lot of the internal components on those were Black and they sometimes had a few gaps like that so maybe im just used to it.
It's a lot harder to visualize on camera since it's a 2D image, but in person it's so visible it hurts.
