This is the first time that I am doing a toy review of any form, of either an official or 3rd party product. When I received the toy, I had mixed feelings. The reason is I knew in advance that I needed to conduct a toy review, which gave me a certain amount of pressure. However, I have come through and would like to present to you: Knight Morpher Commander!
The dilemma I am facing is how should I treat this toy and give an objective view. Do I compare it with an official product? How about I compare it with a 3rd Party product? Not much to compare it to though, as there are not many to compare with in terms of 3rd party figures. FansProject? Nope, not until they release a full figure. So far FP’s products are mainly add-ons, thus it is not fair to do a straight comparison.
Anyway, as we are considering this as part of our collection, I will review it with my personal opinions and preferences. You may find that your views may differ from mine.
Rating: 5 ★s is full marks
Colour & Material: ★★★★
The main colors of the robot are dark red and dark blue. The rear cabin of the train is mainly grey and dark blue. I do not wish to comment on color choice as sometimes color is more of a personal preference, however the quality of paint applications on the figure aare reasonably well done.
Material used for the figure is ABS plastic and it feels solid. The joints and rotating parts of the figure are acceptable, however, I still believe MMC can further improve on some of the connections and joints.
Train Mode: ★★★★
The alternate mode of Knight Morpher Commander (KMC) is a locomotive train. The length of the toy is about 9 inches long making it about as long as a Generation 1 Optimus Prime trailer.
The train is formed by 2 parts. The front part of the train transforms into the robot, and the rear part can become KMC's battle station, just like his G1 counterpart.
Both parts of the train are connected by two slots as shown, and it holds on firmly. The train also rolls on it's wheels pretty well.
In the back of the train, there is a connector that enables it to tow another train, if one should be available.
There are no accessories such as weapons that need to be stored separately. All can be kept within the train mode, which I like. I love figures with this provision, such as Beast Wars Optimus Primal.
Transformation: ★★★
The transformation from train to robot or vice versa, is rather simple. The transformation difficulty level is probably about the same as Classics/Henkei Optimus Prime. The front cabin of the train transforms into the robot, with the smoke stack turn into his hand gun. The rear cabin can be transformed into a battle station.
Robot Mode: ★★★★
The robot mode of KMC is pretty comic accurate.
KMC is a bit taller than Classic/Henkei Optimus Prime.
The head sculpt can rotate 360 degree and comes with light piping, which is a nice touch. The shoulders can rotate 360 degree upwards or downwards. The upper arm can move inwards or outwards and at the elbow to connect with lower arms. The waist is capable of rotating 360 degree. The upper thighs can move forward, backward, and outwards. The knee and lower legs also able to rotate forward, backward and rotate 360 degree. In another words, this figure has plenty of articulation and can do some crazy moves.
The chest of KMC is able to open up and inside shows an object resembles the Matrix of Leadership. Unfortunately, there is no articulation on KMC’s hands, so he is unable to hold onto the matrix.
KMC's fists are able to interchange with normal a straight fist or slanted fist. The reason for this is mainly for holding his weapons, especially the sword as it will look better with the slanted fist. The image shows that the fists are light blue, however I've been informed that the mass produced versions will have dark blue fists instead.
The rear cabin can be open up, ala G1 trailer, and a huge canon can be used by KMC. KMC’s sword is stored within the canon. The canon can be pushed forward or backward, and rotated 360 degrees. One side of the cabin door can form his shield in robot mode.
My only complaint is the connection of the canon parts is a bit loose for my liking.
Conclusion: As an Optimus Prime collector, I warmly welcome KMC into my Prime lineup. As a 3rd party company, I think MMC did fairly well on their first attempt.
KMC is a fun figure to play with, however, I personally still prefer a Galaxy Convoy/Fire Convoy type of figure rather than G1 Optimus Prime type of figure as I always feel its more fun to have Prime in “Super Mode” by combining the robot mode with his trailer rather than having a seperate battle station.
Finally, below are some of the creative ways of playing this figure:

Nice review, RD. Would you put it on par with City Commander from a materials and quality standpoint, or not quite? Is it worth $85 USD in your opinion? Thanks!
PS, still think this thing looks great...except in that first action pose.

This looks like a pretty solid figure. I didn't realize you could do so much with the figure and the "trailer." The only things keeping me from adding this prime to my collection is the huge shoulder armor and the dinky upper arms. Just doesn't look right to me.
I may change my mind later though
Good review.

Material wise is on par.... Quality wise, in terms of parts connection slightly behind FP. However, as i said before, FP hasnt do a full figure yet, not mass release yet... So is a bit unfair to compare...

ReDev, thanks for the review and the pictures! Looks like the preliminary pictures weren't too far off the (almost) finished mass produced Knight Morpher.
I'm glad to hear the materials used and the paint applications are good. And I really like the versatility of the figures articulation.
I'm mostly wondering how the connections hold up. the pictures show he can hold poses OK. Anyhow, for me this will only ever be a display model: I won't be giving the joints much chance to become loose.
And I personally like the loose battlestation / trailer: it's a great tribute to G1 Prime. Last of all, MMC was of course mostly working with the HoS design that was available to them: in this regard they made a practically perfect product. You can't really fault them for the seperate trailer or for the easy transformation.

Connection wise is fairly ok.... But some of the joints of the robot have to handle with care (esp shoulder and upper arm part), so not to snap it....
I also mentioned about the canon as it can separate to few pieces and the sword is store within, this is a piece that the connection a bit poor....
Other than that, this figure is doing fine, quality wise.

Trailer is a bit bland, I wonder if Reprolabels could come up with a set to enhance this figure?
Overall, I would say that I like the look of the figure but I would have preferred a more metallic look.
As it stands its a pass for me but if Hasbro had produced it at a lower price then I would snap one up. £60 is a bit steep I think.

That picture with Black Convoy looks like he's thinking about doing bad, bad things. 
Figure looks good, HOS was an awesome series and I loved the retro-styling, darkly detailed designs from it. This figure is a pass for me, because I haven't really started Convoy collecting yet(still working on Megatron, Galvatron,& Starscream{if anybody can help me find a few i'd be eternally grateful and return the favor}). If MMC does Starscream, Octane, Scourge or Shockwave they WILL have my money and my respect for their duration though. 
I LOVE THE KREMZEEK!!
and great review RD, you answered all the questions the fans had, laid out straight opinions and kept them neutral. AWESOME JOB

Thanks for the review and all the pictures.
RD - can you explain the joints a little more? For instance, are they loose or are they likely to become loose over time? Also, how well does the figure stay together when in alt mode?

See attached. The front part & rear part of the train clip on this way.... Pretty secure too.
As for the robot part, the joints and connection is ok... I just hate the canon parts, a bit loose for my liking and drop off easily. The mechanism to connect the canon parts is abit lame in design... (Canon has few parts due to the storage of sword/lance)
I got the info that the next piece is HOS starscream.... Maybe this will change ur mind now...

RD - can you explain the joints a little more? For instance, are they loose or are they likely to become loose over time? Also, how well does the figure stay together when in alt mode?

Dammit...no more! These things look too awesome, and I don't even give two chits about HOS, but they're so spendy! I hope Prime makes it painfully obvious whether they're must buy figures or not really worth the hefty price tags...

Thanks RD for the joint info. Does the rocket pack stay in place well? I wonder if some nail polish is needed.

I'd really like to get this figure. The price is the only thing that's making it iffy for me.
