Yeah, the mold make for a totally not accurate robot and the jet mode suffer from MASSIVE undercarriage. Furthermore, his missiles launchers that replace his hands tend to shoot missiles all over the place when you look at them funny.
Why do I LOVE this mold? I find it's still nice looking and the transformation is wicked fun! Especially the auto-morphing chest. Plus, his bulky proportions inspired me my first ever complex custom. (Click on "Apetimus Supreme" in my sig!).
Second, it's Beast Machine deluxe Optimus Primal. He's not show accurate at all but he got a nice robot mode and a very intimidating gorrilla mode. Plus, his gimmicks and transformation are fun. He also... ahem... "evolved" into Apetimus Supreme at some point. Luckily, I found it back at a flea market for cheap recently!
the first movie starscream has a special spot in my heart. in the movie, he was fearsome and deadly, and only had a couple of lines. next movies they turned him back into the sycophant that his G1 self was. back to the toy though, id suggest everyone get the deep space starscream. he was a target exclusive i think, but essentially was the "premium" version of the mold (remember the first movie premiums?). it looked amazing. sure its got limitations, but i loved it. ive never wanted another movie ss until the lost age deluxe, but im still on the fence.
BM deluxe primal... i tolerated it. im one of the few BM fans out there, but i was pretty dissappointed. especially the bot mode. monkey was awesome though with the angry face thing and chest opening/flexing thing (and seeing his spark). blast punch primal (even with his limitations) blew my mind. didnt get him till years later though.
