Optimus Prime features lights and sounds as well as some snap-on Energon blue body armor. The included sword is a great weapon but is also used as a lock to the changing gimmick. While the price might be a bit high for most, the toy is a solid, beefy, fun figure.

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

I have many Energon combiners and they CANNOT be compared to the Cyberverse duocons. First, the Energon ones were deluxes. And those deluxes were BIG. The Cyberverse are barely legends scale and they have an automorph gimmick. That design is from years ago in the RiD line. There is a gimmick, but there's no "rush" here. Well, unless you want fast gameplay.
So, apples and oranges, really.
Still, one thing you can compare both to are their weird proportions and the fact that most bots are silly looking. Especially in combined mode. Like, really. Don't tell me that this Swoop/Grimlock combined mode look "good":
It also can't pose at all due to the top-heaviness.

That's because they weren't true "Combiners" per se, but were instead a new take on "Powerlinxing", in which one Autobot augmented the other instead of it being a Mini-Con who augmented the Autobot in question. It's like when Optimus Powerlinxed with Jetfire and/or Overload, who augmented Optimus's super mode instead of making a new combined identity. The Energon gimmick was basically "Every Autobot gets a Super Mode with help from someone or something else".william-james88 wrote:It was the inverse with the Energon deluxes which don't even have a combiner head.

So much bigger than legends size and less than a head shorter than deluxe size.

So they are not the same size as the previous batch, who were just a re-release and repaints of the RiD Crash Combiners?
Nice for the size increase, but unfortunate for the cross-compatibility.
