But do the knees bend? From the looks of it, no... Also, is it just me or is Prime wearing a jetpack, maybe the one he borrowed from Sideswipe. :P

Yes his knees bend. :thumb

 

Not quite all the way because of pegs behind the knees but enough to consider it an articulation point.

 

Haven't watched the review yet but having bout the toy just today I can safely say it was money well spent.

 

Most awsome/detailed incarnation of this scale since MP Prime. :thumb

 

Question does anybody no what the point of the hinged rear wheel wells are? I could see a point in it if one folded atop the other but since they only go half way what's the point? :tfhuh

I agree here. He ends up being a very satisfying purchase.

And he doesn't look as chunky IRL as the pics make him look.

 

I have managed to fold the rear wheels up and kinda clip them into his back pack (it also helps a little if you connect the two as one piece) but you have to be very careful since they are attatched to the legs - any movement of the legs means you have to readjust the wheel wells...

other than being able to kinda stuff them into his backpack - i dont know why those rear wheels fold....

I prefer Elrod's review.

It's to allow greater range of motion in the knees, while still keeping the wheels attached to the upper legs.

Movie Prime looks really awesome when holding MP1's Rifle and mini-megs.

I find it works just as well to not clip the wheels to the legs in the first place & just let them hang folded up as is. :thumb

I put the wheels up in the back pack too, and this toy rules all.
