There actually are flip out stands to hold the trailer up (the blue shin canon things in super mode), the Canon gun thing can be pegged right above that red pin hole looking piece in that gap in trailer mode by splitting it open then putting it back. The headlights also need to be pushed in to avoid torso gaps in super mode

For those that get this figure, PLEASE watch out for the leg panels. They can become stressed over time due to the tightness of the joint and repeated lifting to get into any mode. I've already had my right leg panel snap. If you want to check for the stress marks, look just above the silver paint for white lines. To fix, undo legs (bearing caution because of ratchet), take off panel from post, and shave down post.

Legacy Armada Rodimus Prime or Armada Vector Prime need to be made next. They where my two other favorites from that line that I had (other than Unicron himself).

I had no idea this was a thing that was being done. But I love the idea that they are remaking "bad toys" (personal opinions notwithstanding). While I have no rose-tinted glasses for Armada as a show or a toy line, I always felt bad for the toy line itself and the design choices that were made back in the day, which resulted in nice-looking designs being lambasted for their shortcomings back in the day. Giving the Armada line a new shot at some love is something I absolutely support. More toys that were "limited by their times" deserve the same.

This figure was such a long time coming, and stands as something of a redemption story for the channel LOL (we all still sing of the legend of the house fire created by the original). This is an amazing modern take on what was a phenomenal toy in its day and for the time. Armadamus Prime still to this day stands as my all-time favorite Optimus toy and second favorite version of the character in continuity. This figure does everything right. One very important feature this take on it has that was sadly missed in the review is a fully functioning Matrix chamber with removable Matrix. Absolutely fantastic touch for this figure. I really sincerely hope they roll out a Legacy Evolution Armada Jetfire and Overload to go with this guy. If this figure is anything to go by, a complete Legacy Evolution Jet Magna Convoy will be incredible.

So everyone already commented on the trailer struts but I noticed another mistransformation. In super mode you can actually flip the regular mode's feet out and in to to fill the gap in the back of the super mode's wrist. Great figure btw. My biggest grips is the lack of hip ratchets and the side skirts in super mode 'locking' into the hips 'ratchet teeth'... that being said, I am using the broad edge of the sides skirts (not the pegs) to support an A stance atm so... its something
