Those are some pretty sexy legs. Somewhere, out there, Elita One is jealous.

Sorry. Sunday morning headache (not alcohol related either!). May come across as grumpy. Don't take too much of what I say to heart today.

C'mon, guys. It's not that bad. It's the price to pay for a working trailer. Plus, it's not as bad as other figures like Original RID Ultra Magnus.

Rid Magnus! And that toy was all the craze in the best design thread back in the day:

Yeah, but you can't do a transformation like that on RID Prime and still have it look like the character. What they could have done is made the lower legs collapse an inch or so, but they clearly wanted to give him height.
Personally I'm not that bothered by the proportions, I don't think the legs are as ridiculously long as RID 2000 Ultra Magnus' legs and the proportions are the same as Warrior class Optimus Prime.
I'm surprised TFYuki didn't compare Optimus to his beloved Star Saber since he's the same size as Superion.

Compared to the show model, the toy have the lower legs a thigh leight too long. That's not perfection, but I'd still take this over the bricktastic mega 1/3 step changers.
