In my opinion, one of the best Toyhax sets of 2023. -
The Hasbro Pulse Con 2023 beat goes on with another new behind the scenes report from Mark Maher @markclonus, this one featuring the newly revealed Legacy Animated Universe Optimus Prime figure. The Autobot Leader lands as Voyager class figure with a totally new mold. He's got a big axe but no mask and more than meets the behinds the scenes on the making of this toy. - Read the Full News Story -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO! *Proceeds to shoot lasers from my eyes ala Devastator* But seriously though, they got roasted over this set on Facebook. Nobody wants this. What a waste of plastic. Why bother swapping out the ass skirt if you're not going to do anything better with it? At least make those two hinged pieces flip around to the back of the ass skirt to minimize it as much as possible. What about that shield I was talking about in my last comment? I thought DNA liked to give things shield for no reason? Who the hell thought it was a good idea to take that shitty chunk of flaps with molded missile launchers in it and attach it to the gun that has a huge extension on it? That's about the worst looking thing I ever seen. It's far worse than any attempt to turn Motormaster's base tower piece into something resembling a gun. Just fucking replace the pieces outright. Nobody wants to repurpose them into stupid looking shit. They already designed a full replacement for the ass flap so why not just make full replacements for the other parts too? What is going on with that chest? Did they intentionally try to invoke the visage of Omega Prime with that? It's bad looking on its own and its even worse since you put the entire old chest on top of it instead of just the Autobot badge that's on a 5mm peg. And all for what? to slightly cover the hands of the smaller robot mode in truck mode? What a roundabout way to go about doing that. Did they even try to match the gold paint? I've seen 3D printed sets on Ebay try to color match better than this. Do they really think those shoulder flaps look good up there? They accomplish next to nothing in vehicle mode either. At first I thought those would sit in the grooves instead of hovering 1mm over them like that. It's just stupid looking when they're being used in truck mode. Who would even display the figure like that anyway? This trailer is actually useful unlike the Earthrise and G2 trailers. So the trailer stays with the figure at all times as it's needed for the super mode. So there's no need to cover the super mode hands in truck mode as the trailer will always be covering them. Even still, who the fuck cares about the fists being visible? It's such a non issue. Oh and they block the 5mm ports on the shoulders on top of looking like garbage. The door fillers are okay I guess. The front skirt is okay I guess. Other than the bad paint matching. The hands look okay but I hate those tab and slot connections. It's nice they gave two ports but I can almost guarantee that they'll fall out. Those things almost always suck. Just not worth it honestly. Who really uses the finger articulation anyway if we're ALL being honest about it. You do a couple of poses here and there and it is pretty cool but that's it. You don't think of it again once it's on a shelf holding things. The feet things are less than okay. I thought they'd at least have some molded something on the blue parts to turn those pieces in truck mode into missile launchers. But no, they have the same kind of molded detail as the stock parts. So why even bother with more than just fillers for the toes? Nobody was asking for the super mode to be taller. I think it's too tall as it is. It's taller than their already established scaling. Just yet another almost complete failure of a kit from DNA. At least the SS RotB Scourge kit looks good. -

Hailing from the darkest reaches of Junkion, weighing in at an impressive 169g. He is the master of trash...This. Is. Trashmaster! Who, coincidentally, is also the first Legacy voyager Junkion who is a weaponizer, as well (my version of Junkasuarus will be in a separate video).
