Here is a slightly less obscured image. Not much better, but a little clearer.

It doesn't look the same as the Takara one, Hasbro probably started afresh to make sure it hit the price point they wanted.

You failed to get them right on the original Super Base toy, successfully got them right on the Super-Con figure, and have now replicated the failure of the Super Base figure's shoulders on this figure. Heck, even Takara's prototype that they showed off with Selects Star Convoy had correct shoulders. Why, Hasbro? Why, outside of the Super-Con toy, do you insist on making Armada Optimus perpetually lifting his shoulders above his head?

Can we have Amrada Megatron now? I say let’s keep Legacy going for as long as we need to get some of those potential gems.

There is no secret, except that because the SuperCon version is smaller they can make the engine compartment pieces that make his collarbone and shoulder joints thinner and lighter. Bigger figure, especially one that is supporting the weight of Torso Mode right through that area, needs better reinforcement
So there are thicker pieces that can't collapse as well.
