Is he really colored dirty on the rear area? Or did i get a dirty toy?

I'm just disappointed that his robot mode turns out too small. Without his backpack, he's just a deluxe size! His head is about the same height as Wreckage!

Blackout needs to be redesigned as a Leader class! Then he can be the best movie toy

I toast to that! Leader Blackout!

I got Leader Prime a couple days ago, and it's one of the best figures i've ever had. Buy it. Now.

Yeah. My Leader Prime just arrived recently. One of the Best toys. He's the exact opposite of Leader Megatron.

Thanks.

The truck mode is an absolute winner.
Color is nice. Basically, all parts are good, except for the kibble behind his thigh. I like the individual fingers.

The transformation is amazing!

Japanese Longarm is a BIG frustration.

I don't know if it's the design flaw of Longarm itself or the questionable quality of Japanese make.

Here's the problem. It is almost impossible to transform him back to truck mode. Parts keeps on falling apart. You can't squeeze in one part to the correct position without dislodging another part. Took me 4 to 5 hours just to try to keep him together in truck mode. Still can't perfect it.

The one and only time i've seen him in good truck mode was the first time he got out of the packaging. That's it.

Some parts are too tight, some are too loose, some are not even attached. Making it impossible to come together into the truck.

I think the US version could be better. I never had this kind of problem with US Movie toys.

For now, i'd say AVOID Japanese Longarm.

I don't know if this applies to other Japanese Movie toys as well.
