Why?
Bad tolerances. Parts not fitting well. Breakage and lots of paint chipping, worse than grapple.
Please note, this is all second hand info from social media. I do not, nor will I, have this figure.

Anyway youd hope he is better than them given he is at least 3x the price.

The cost of the figure is more than covered by the engenering, not just with Prime but with how Roller, the trailer, and the turret all interact. A few quick notes:
Believe it or not the cab was not properly transformed when I took it out of the package, one of the front wheels was stuck in the retracted position.
As I suspected the Ion rifle can collapse for storage, it can slide on a small track on the back of the waist, the rifle got stuck and that was the ONLY scary part of the transformation.

The instructions surprisingly don't show how the turret base can be used a stand.
Review is coming.

I’ve read about 30 or so in hand reviews now, and you are the first person to be so positive.

To be clear, I didn’t mean that to be so snarky, I was actually meaning to be a compliment. It was early, and I hadn’t had any coffee yet.

I still think that for MPM Movie Optimus Prime.

I transformed my MPM Optimus back and forth only once. Never again. It's not fun. And seeing how that MP-44 basically explode and reassemble himself is pretty intimidating for me. I still haven't transformed my MP-36 Megatron yet and I don't think I'll play with my MP-03 Starscreams for a very long while.
As if I no longer have the endurance nor the patience for overly long and fiddly transformations. Especially those who have ultra sensitive and fragile parts.

I've only transformed 36 once and it took me forever. Really hope this isn't nearly as bad.
