I didn't plan on ever getting prowl unless my sons asked for him, but holy hell he has no battle damage!! I felt I had to support that.

All the joints are great. The transmetal paint is also in great condition. A couple very minor chips here and there (the connector between Optimus’s legs, and the very tips of Megatrons two prominent fangs), but no scuffing, flaking or scratches.
Isn't it a great feeling when your patience for a figure finally pays off after waiting for so long? Especially if you find it just how you wanted it? And it's 3 times the satisfaction in this case!

OP and Megs cost me pretty much what a modern leader class costs, and they’re much bigger. Optimus was $60 with shipping, Megs was $55 with shipping, and Dinobot II was $32 (free shipping).

Both of my local Walmarts only got one case of Deluxe and he's just been hanging around. He's pretty good, the arms on the jet mode doesn't bother me at all. I really like the guns being connectable, the articulation and sculpt are great, and it feels like a single piece in bot mode. My only complaint is that the tank's top doesn't really tab into place like its supposed to, but it doesn't really hinder anything. Overall it's a fun figure and a great update.

I contemplated doing the fix, but the next time I transformed it, I actually got it to all close up nicely. I think you really just have to fiddle with getting it all compressed together, but it does work.Emerje wrote:I'm always hesitant to fix a figure by effectively breaking it. I'm fine with it not closing properly, it doesn't really hurt the figure and closing through friction is fine enough.

Same here, it takes a few transformations to loosen everything up and get the joints and tabs to flow more smoothly

For my purposes, he's been co-opted into Motormaster's crew. I'm still hopeful (perhaps over-optimistically so) I'll get my hands on a Unite Warriors Breakdown, so I'm not using CW Breakdown or Offroad for my Menasor, as I don't want two Breakdowns (and I like Prime Breakdown better), I don't want two of the same mold on one combiner (so I can't have UW Breakdown and Offroad), and I don't want all his limbs to be cars anyway (I know, blasphemous).
Plus, Drillhorn can fit in with the Stunticons on account of:
-having a land-based alt mode
-have a strong primary personality trait to add to the mess that is Menasor (overbearing stubbornness)
-Having a melee weapon to add to the street gang aesthetic in his power drill
-Wasn't there a tank in one of the Fast and Furious movies?
