So far, I would say better spent elsewhere.
I really wanted him to go with my Japanese G1 Bots, but if you don't have that kind of connection, I wouldn't say he is worth it.
Alt mode is still ugly, and I had a problem with the stickers sticking and then warping and it destroyed the one long front trailer sticker applying it. My fault, but it was a bit more difficult than I anticipated.
The deluxe sized Prime is pretty cool, and I love the yellow eyes and Action master styled look, but he feels a bit weaker in person than I had thought he would? Like he feels like a downgrade from Orion, despite how much I want to enjoy an Action Master Prime homage.
The main robot is really cool, and the paint work, head sculpt, shoulders, and legs are fantastic. The chest windows should have been retooled, no reason why they couldn't have been to be more accurate. and the problem with the star is you have to sort of unclick the chest bot to lock it into place. I see why many have snapped: you cannot have the smaller Prime locked into the chest and the star locked in at the same time, one has to be slightly unclipped.
He is ok, he needed some more work. He's worth it if you have the attachment or the desire or the love of the head sculpt. But outside of that, I'd say you're good buying the next wave of Studio Series instead
