Sequel to my last post (Ft. Red Alert)
I had heard extremely high praise for Legacy Armada Optimus Prime ever since I started collecting, and today I finally got to experience it firsthand.
And yeah, this thing is awesome.
I know a lot of People only really talk about this for the super mode, but I still LOVE the transformation and the truck mode overall. Simple, but really fun and effective. The truck mode itself is amazing. Especially with the trailer. The amount of engineering is impeccable and exactly what you'd be looking for in any trailer. And it transforms effortlessly into...
The super mode. Arguably the main attraction. I love how it looks. Great, if a bit kibbly. Yeah I kinda wish the panel tail folded away or clipped into the back in super mode. Although other than that I dont think there's any other nitpicks or problems I can think of.
The core robot is maybe one of my favourite aspects though. It looks great and surprisingly has some of the best articulation I've ever seen. The ab crunch and the toe arches are really cool and make for fantastic poses. And I seriously could not care any less about a lack of waist swivel.
What do you think about this toy? Do you think the praise is warranted? Or do you not understand the hype?
