Overall, I like it. It just looks cleaner than the original. The cab looks closer in size to the deluxe version, but the super mode is definitely an upgrade. I still have and like my original, so I probably won't get this unless I find it at discount. I never cared for the trailer, mine was always combined with Jetfire.
Waiting to see comparison shots to the original.

Was it that way in the series? The original super mode figure has red eyes, so they werent going for toy accuracy.Sabrblade wrote:Wow, that truck grill is bland.
And his Super Mode eyes should be red, not the same golden yellow as his mouthplate, ears, and everywhere else it's found on his body.

He's not less accurate than the previous toy we got of Knockout, and the car mode is great. So, eh

Ooooffff...
And the fact that it's not Knock-Out, but Knock-Outish doesn't help his case.

Can Armada Prime do the Heaven and Hell attack?

Same. Legacy Wave 1 is STILL hanging around at most places, and has been restocked multiple times. Meanwhile, I've never seen Elita-1 at retail (though I saw her wavemates a whole two times), and never restocked again); and every other wave has been stocked a grand total of once and then never again- but that doesn't mean I ever saw Crankcase, Skullgrin, Dead End or Inferno. But hey! We have all the Velocitron and Legacy beast figures you want, over and over and over!

The few times I saw wave 2 deluxe at Target several months ago, it was mostly Eliita I saw. I finally did see them all at least once, but as they all sold, at one point the single peg for Legacy deluxe at one Target I went to had 4 Elitas and nothing else. At a different Target I saw a single Crank Case once, and nothing else from deluxe wave 3.

Yeah, I remember the OG Knock-Out Prime toy and it suck. That one have at least a good base.
If I ever get it (on sale or used for cheap), I'd customise him into an OG character with a another head.

Someone has to say it, so it might as well be me.
Armada Prime looks to be the 2nd figure this year (after Tarn) that will beat out the 3P MP scale option, giving us a much wanted transforming character that ticks all the boxes and is significantly cheaper than the 3P option.

I have similar hopes for SS86 Ultra Magnus.

Importing commanders is impossible for me right now due to silly third world country stuff, but I've only heard good things about them. I suspect they're at a point where they don't have to be as big as a titan, but they're still a big ticket item, so they're right at a price/size junction where a lot of the budget can go to looks and engineering in a capacity that is impossible in leaders due to budget, and impossible in titans due to size.
So there's a good chance Magnus will be great too.

Yeah...looks great but either the torso is too big or the legs are too short.
Or the codpiece is just too large. Not sure.
I'll get him, but I think they could have added another inch to the leg length to make the proportions more accurate.
As I've said before, nice to see some lines other than G1 getting some love.

The original can barely point his arms forward.
This one, may be able to get his hands close enough, but both modes have solid fingers, so no way to interlock them to recreate that attack

It's too early to say. The toy looks pretty good, but it would have to knock it out the park, in way that makes the very tought of an Armada Masterpiece Optimus Prime feel unneeded.
Also, we have to see the other characters in the Generations line.

I was under the impression that Super Mode had Jetfire-style hands. Not perfect but good enough for a little GGG homage.

Sort of. The ports do not seem to retract into the palm like Jetfire’s do. But the fingers are molded together. You may be able to bring the hands together to sort of fake it with one fist inside the other hand, but will depend on shoulder articulation.

Did Super Mode do Heaven and Hell? I honestly don't remember.
