I don't know why he'd be pictured transformed that way. I don't think the bumper looks back, but transformed that way and it's a joke.

Just by the looks of this I think I'd rather use Classics Prime over Henkei. I'd ratehr NOT damage my shiny chrome bumper by trying to remove it.

I broke out my Classics Prime and saw the bumper is screwed in. So it doesn't need to be one of those things where you can never go back

But there's a ton of cheap Classics Prime KOs out there. They might actually work with this pretty well if you want it to be Classics style, but don't want to use / don't have an official figure for some of the mods.Since it's supposed to fit G1 and PM Prime I think it'd work.

The bumper really isn't THAT bad. If you look at the serious picture you'll notice that you can't even tell he has it on when he's transformed into robot mode the right way. Granted, it doesn't fold up as nicely into the figure as the official, but if you're going to buy the set I doubt you'd want to keep him in standard bot mode.

And I think modding the bumper is absolutely nessasary in order to add the PM gimmick to a figure that really wasn't eman tfor it.

On the other hand, at the end of the show (Masterforce, was it?) Ginari and all the other Masters became their own bots, didn't they? Do you don't HAVE to do this mod to get something show-accurate. You can leave it out and pretend it's the fully-robotic Ginari at the end of Masterforce.
