ssjgoku22: As many reviews have stated, the transformation is hard as hell. I completely agree. But it's the only IDW Prime that pretty much exactly like the animation model. I love the robot mode and it's excellent articulation. If you can get past the complex transformation, this is an awesome figure. Highly recommended.
ssjgoku22: While it is a ko, LT01 is covered in painted details that Takara's MP doesn't have. This figure is well made, well painted, is sturdy like the official MPM Bumblebee, and is affordable. I highly recommend this figure for any Transformer collection.
ssjgoku22: Honestly, if they can paint this like they did with the 1.0 Magic Square's Ultra Magnus, then this will definitely be a home run of a figure. That 1.0 Magnus repaint was probably the best looking core Magnus we've had to date. It will be tough to beat.
ssjgoku22: Nah, this isn't it. There are a few issues with this kit.
1. The included feet suck. They are significantly looser than the stock feet and it makes the figure difficult to stand
2. The axes and swords are fragile. I tried putting the axe in Prime's hand and the handle snapped in half. This is because the shape of the handle doesn't match the shape of Prime's fist and the plastic quality of the weapons is brittle.
3. The color matching for the red parts is off. The red on the DNA parts is very dull.
There is one pro and that's the blue pieces for the inner calves. Adding those to the calves clean up the legs nicely. The cannon looks decent, but is a bit bulky.
Honestly can't recommend this. The quality of the kit is nowhere near as good as what we're used to with previous DNA upgrade kits. If you really want this kit, wait for a sale. It is NOT worth the asking price.
ssjgoku22: Definitely knew this was coming. Slightly on the more expensive for a ko, but still better then paying double for the official. The LED head sounds like a cool feature to have. I might get this, even though I ordered DS-01 already.
ssjgoku22: 150% selling my Magic Square Cyclonus and getting this. This is literally the definition of a mini-masterpiece. Really accurate sculpt, excellent paint, and great articulation. I don't usually collect Legends, but this and a couple other figures are some exceptions .
