I got the G2 Prime (G1 with black trailer and voice box) for my 9th birthday. Of all my birthdays as a child, it is the only one I remember the main present I got because of how much it meant to me to have an Optimus Prime. I still have that toy about 30 years later. And as much as I loved it, this version improves on that in EVERY way.

This looks incredible, I cannot wait to get these figures. I had to preorder both versions because if I only got one I'd forever be kicking myself for not having the other. It's already my figure of the year and I don't even have it in-hand yet. I forgot how much chrome adds to a figure's appearance, it really does make a toy look more premium than just silver paint does. Also not to be all Gewunner but they really have never topped the G1 box aesthetic, have they?

@UberNoodle5 ай бұрын
I just received my toy deco one with the trailer. Be very careful with the legs. The sliders don't lock into place at the hip in bot mode, so a fair bit of pressure is put on these sliders when manipulating the legs. And rotating joint at the thigh can be incredibly stiff, because of the chrome. You have to be very careful otherwise you will possibly snap the leg off. I would suggest untransforming him and holding the top of the thigh and the middle of the thigh as best you can, and turning the thigh rotation joint very carefully until the joint is loosened up. Also, while there's no launcher for Roller like the original toy, the switch is moulded into the back of the trailer for accuracy. But amazingly, the missile launchers on the drone are fully working (!!!!) With a range of at least 2m. This is something I haven't seen in a toy for about 30 years. :D
@SixoTF5 ай бұрын
Yeah, I’ve clocked a similar thing with the thighs. Definitely one to be careful with!
@UberNoodle5 ай бұрын
@@SixoTF I very gingerly rotated them a few times just to loosen them up. And it worked. As for the hips, I cut a little bit of a rubber eraser and slid that in to the gap between the two sliders. It keeps them from moving inward. But they will flex outwards, and there's no way to stop that. For a while I thought the transformation instructions had a step missing. Because it looks like that should be away to lock them into place using the piece of plastic down the back that creates Prime's butt crack. But there isn't.
