I've heard complaints about Alternator Optimus, and I'm assuming it's because the windshield won't line up with the hood. I've figured out how to fix this! Just turn him over in his truck mode and push on his arms! You will hear a pop and his truck mode will be as good as new!

Dude, thank you SO much! That little bastard hasn't been transformed correctly into his truck mode since I got him.

great. now i just have to find one

I thought that was pretty obvious, ahh well.

And the best way to fix alt prime (or nem alt prime as thats the one i have) is to drop something very heavy and pointy on it.
Repeatedly.

The thing is lame.

It is lame as Prime, and it would have been lame as Ironhide.

Lame

Lame

LAME!

He tucks it in and kisses it goodnight every night before he goes to bed.

Either way, I don't own it, but I don't want it. It doesn't seem as good as the rest.

Lame Prime, pretty awesome Hoist though. I admit I didn't like Prime all that much at first either, but after taking him apart and looking at the design, I think it was a pretty decent first attempt at recreating a truck.

The shoulder pads could've been more like Mirages and I've never transformed one that didn't have flimsy knees, but the effort actually is there. Unfortunately, like most things today, shortcuts were taken to reduce their costs.

I think one thing that could've helped was adding some sort of sliding panel to the chest that would move up in alt mode under the doghouse to better hide the head. That and removing the seats from the underside of his forearms.

At first I hated it. I saw how hard it was to find and finally saw one at my local Walmart so picked it up. Its grown on me as a figure but isn't exactly my favorite Alt.

im going to make him into jetfire or ironhide..... im just looking for heads....

Jetfire? I cant see it.

Infact those shoulder things would make him more suitable as a seeker. But then again that'd be a stupid idea too.

I was thinking about Hoist as well. It would be a cool kitbash.

The head from BTA Broadcast would make a decent Ironhide. The Prime head can then be painted red and given to Broadcast to make Crosscut.

Personally I'm making a trailbreaker out of the spare Nemesis Prime I've bought with a Swindle head and reprolabels.

Sometimes I wonder if Broadblast was meant to be Ironhide because of the head similarities.
