Ah, Grapple. Hoist's buddy joins us in the Earthrise line and much like Leader Optimus Prime is an affordable option to the Masterpiece figure. Transformation is smooth, but make sure to file down the pegs that peg into the bottom of the feet for vehicle mode, there is a high rate of breakage on those parts. Overall this is a solid figure and worthy of a place in your neo-G1 collection.

How many times do you recommend filing the pegs? 'Cause I want to know for when I get him.

Good question. I did it until they were flat-ish on four sides. The nano glass file leaves the peg smooth and clean. You'll have to do a little trial and error.

I just kept trying the peg whilst sanding the pegs until I didn't get almost any resistance going into or out of the peg holes
