It does yes, his front wheels become the upper back, they're just not painted here at all. He has quite the skinny waist in the cartoon as well, bodybuilder Prime style

3 months later, I am still humming over this figure. I continue to see why this figure is so good and so loved. It is really good, I love it

today was a Megatron type day.

This figure is OK. not fantastic, but still good. His joints are a smidge loose, and he feels a bit thin compared to how I would like him to be, but he can pose pretty good, the tank mode is enjoyable, and the transformation is interesting, if a bit of a pain with the legs

Those stands look familiar, pretty cool huh? They're not the most stable, but can hold a voyager figure. I've even held a light leader before. I like how customizable they are.

They are pretty sweet. They were got primarily for the Marvel Legends, but also for some transformers poses. I think they were worth it

I totally agree and I should order another set. All the different sized claws and a 3mm and 5mm peg with each one. Pretty sweet ****. I keep a phillips bit handy to loosen and tighten the arms.

I have a little screwdriver kit handy for that, and I have the additional arm pieces with their screw standing by should I want to add some height. Moving in 2 months is gonna suck, but at least when I set up at where we go next, I will have some stands to help do some displays.

I've been getting more into the stands, I have that one tripod for alt modes, it's holding my TLK leader Megatron right now, and looks rad

I mean ditto 8-)

: I'm screwed

That's just what's in my desk, but I find a #2 phillips bit to be ideal so I don't overtighten.

Picked up SS-05 Prime from my buddy ironhidensh today. i can definitely see how the new version from last year was an improvement, but he is still cool. I like the faded paint, makes me think of the forest fight and him being all dirty.

The swords were the main draw though, they look fantastic! My 3 Primes are gonna be playing weapons swap here soon.

Took my Silver Knight Prime to work today, and gosh this thing is lovely. this is my first experience with this mold too, and it is a lot nicer than I have heard. And the paint work is sublime. This is gorgeous. We need more Primes like this

And Cyberverse Shockwave went to work last Friday. He's ok, has some nice paint work, but the mold is pretty weak, easily my least favorite of the 4 new deluxes. He was improved greatly when i discovered I could remove his hose from the gun, but he's still kinda just eh

Also, love this pose with invincible Iron man

Got a lot to share with you today.

Up first, today has been a pretty good 25th birthday. My wonderful fiance got me this awesome card with a Yoda magnet, a big bag of Reeses, and Endgame Hulk with gauntlet! Hulk is so cool!

Also got my package from Amazon, it arrived nice and fast! Got KSI Boss for $13 and I got Cyberverse Clobber! Boss is so beautiful paint wise (more below), and Clobber is fantastic. she is a wonderful addition to the lore, and she's a pretty decent figure herself!

My KSI Boss, he is gorgeous. it's amazing the amount of paint on this figure, and how good it makes him look.

I have a new running theory that after the first year of SS figures was successful, they put more paint budget into the figures. We have gotten some wonderfully painted figures lately, like Megatron, who came to work with me. That figure is the best figure of this year so far for me.

And finally, it's amazing how much better MPM Ironhide is with his newly stabilized shoulders

My favorite Optimus Prime though time

Also, I love this mold. I feel perfectly OK with having 3 versions of it

That comes later when every single Optimus Prime I own is included for a picture, and believe me, it's a crap ton more than I thought now, jeez

Mixmaster, while not as good as Megatron, is still a very good standalone voyager. I love what all you can do with his arms, and I do enjoy his head sculpt.

Mixmaster sure can dance, and he can dab!

These are the 5 components of TFCC Nexus Prime!

Center components is Heatwave (Shattered Glass Decepticon), Left arm is Decepticon Topspin (servant of Shattered Glass Loopy Alpha Trion), Right arm is Autobot Skyfall, Left leg is Autobot Breakaway, and the Right Leg is Decepticon Landquake (disenfranchised Decepticon).

He has been a grail item of mine for a long time. his components were released 1 a year for 5 years in the early to mid 2000's

I go by Nexus Prime, goes far better and is more enjoyable. I wish they had pursued the original name a little more: Maximus Prime. It's another reason this one is so special to me.

He wasn't too hard, I had some birthday money and there he was on ebay for the price where i could get him properly, man that was awesome to pull that trigger

Congrats. I remember I joined the club after the first 2 came out and had to ebay those two. The only thing about that combiner that annoys me are those damn feet that never want to stay on.
