Last week I bought from my local geek store the new Transformers Studio Series Sentinel Prime. That toy is absolutely fantastic and is ridiculously screen accurate for it's size and price point.
But last week-end I had a desire. The desire to get the original Dark Of The Moon voyager Sentinel Prime I spotted over there. So today I got him. I know this 10 years old toy is trash. But I wanted the
eksperience of finally handling him and to have the pleasure of shaming the poor thing beside his much younger self.
So without further ado, here they are.
Old DOTM to the Left, newer SS to the right, just in case:
Right from the start, we see that the old one is much smaller and thinner. He have a big gun but that's it.
Both do have a large backpack, but the old DOTM one have about ALL of his truck mode on his back. And because the bot is so small and thin, it appear much worse on him.
The newer SS at least make the effort to make his backpack look like a cape.
The old face sculp look like a basic police sketch while the new onelook like ripped from the silver screen.
The old truck is nice but once again, much smaller. It's also look much "toy like" and less "collector" than the SS.
The transformation of the old DOTM one was still interesting and fun. Way more simple than the SS. However, transforming the new SS is much more satisfying.
Well, that's it! I had fun comparing the two. Hope you had fun reading this silly post as well!
