IIRC they designed it as the most awkward pose for an unconscious character to lie for a particular skit then kept running with it for some godforsaken reason
Mine had the back of shin fillers break. Dumb design decision considering how it doesn’t really affect articulation and could have just been a panel or something.
mostly an aesthetic thing but still
Didn’t have any trouble with it that i can recall. IIRC one of either the Hasbro or Takara runs had a widespread misassembly issue that prevents it from transforming as intended.
They're also making Nemesis and EVA variants. With the lanky build, it might have made a decent Evangelion Prime but they hugged that up with the color placement. Even the stupid Gundam decals would've been more at home there.
The craziest bit is that this Optimus design isn’t even all that complex conceptually. Aside from the usual Optimus design problem of handling the grill/abs, all the major truck parts show up on the robot mode more or less untouched.
I thought the armor thing had too much black. This helps the g1 accuracy but jetfire’s destined to be a sea of white. Wish the armor at least exposed the cockpit. Really needs his antennae too.
