Weapon: Reciprocating Laser Cannon
Octane Prime superior. RTS inferior.

The new ones cab mode just looks silly compared to the Laser Prime.

Those were Primals, not Primes. ;)
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

While the RTS toy has it's share of flaws (ugly head, overly rounded body parts), it does have some good points (great articulation, no faux chest window and better detailed rear section).

JelZe- That picture does look like some legs pegged together. I don't have the original to compare them.

When I transform the RTS legs, they don't feel stable in alt mode. Maybe its because the legs are so rounded.

You'd also need to stick the sword between them for the hitch. I just wish the tip pointed the other way... :SICK:
