I LOVE IT!
No worse than some of the extra modes in the anime
Don't know what deco of that mold to get, if any...
If you want G2 stickers, get the Chaos in Velocitron version.

I actually am keeping this version as my Laser Prime and skipping the Legacy one in favor of getting the Black Convoy repaint
I'm doing the same thing
I have all 4 molds Laser Prime molds in some form, and yes the new Legacy mold is better than TR in more ways than one, including actually having heels.
Anyway, I'll probably wait for a Magnus or Combat Hero repaint before I double dip the Legacy Mold. I'll keep my R.I.D Scourge as my main Scourge.
As for TR, he's a fun but flawed figure. Not a fan of the powder blue and his lack of heel support is annoying. But he is the more accurate G2 version if that's what you are looking for.
Reveal the shield is just a fiddly mess.
Oh I never thought TR would be the better Laser Optimus, that mold was made for Octane,
Weeeell, it has enough Laser Optimus to it that Octane ends up with a faux-parts chest and large shoulder pylons

Yeah... They especially blew it with giving Scourge (he's a Laser Prime redeco like Scourge, he has upside-down G2 Autobot symbols like Scourge, he has Scourge's Japanese name instead of being called "Nemesis Prime", so I'm pretty damn sure he's
meant as Scourge) the Nemesis Prime deco (Optimus is just mainly.
Some of that might be mold layout, but not all. And there's no excuse for not stickering the damn chest windows.
Makes me all the more glad I managed to snag an actual RiD Scourge for $61 ($79 after tax and shipping).
On the subject of Legends stuff, I do find myself amused at how severely Legacy Black Zarak changed the eBay situation wrt Legends Grand Maximus.
Before Black Zarak, there were always people selling off the Grand Max they'd presumably got bored with.
After Black Zarak, listings for him are rarer than loose G2 Slingshots.
