The Energon Pub

1. In his instructions, and depiction on the back of the box, it has his back pack upside down. Now this couldn't be due to a budget factor, so why is this?

2. Am I crazy that I actually LIKE this mode better than the 'normal' way to equipt it?

I don't think anyone really knows why the toy and show have it different, but I do prefer his cannons under his arms, but its a matter of taste really, though at the moment I do have him linked with Wingsaber.

i agree its a matter of taste, although i like the way the cannons look on him, i really like the way he looks without them on at all!!! but thats just me!!

I prefer them under his arms, but due to display space limits, I have Prime in Super-mode with his cannons over his shoulders. Doesn't look bad, and allows other figures to be posed right in front of him properly.

I think it has to do with ineptitude at HASBRO's product design department. They transform the TFs and many times they do it wrong, and then use it for the pictures for their boxes or advertising.

However, if it is in the instructions that way, well then they never watched the Anime before designing the instruction booklet.

I bought the GF version so I am not sure what the HASBRO has going on, but yeah, I remember hearing this when they first came out.
