Transformers Movie Transcanning Optimus Prime

Back again with another post. This time I will showing you folks the Transcanning Optimus Prime from the Takara movie line.




At first glance, I keep thinking T-800 from Terminator. This is actually the base toy for its add on parts, I don't think we see anything like this in the movie. The figure is surprisingly articulate and can do all kinds of posing. Its just to bad about its strange terminator look though.




This is suppose to be Prime's cybertronian mode in the movie. I don't really know how accurate it is, it still reminds me of T 800. Its a little less articulate with all the parts snapped on him. A stand is included to showcase him in 'crashing meteor mode?' Another resemblance is Saint Seiya and Garo figures.




Prime's Earth mode in the movie, sadly the only mode I like is the vehicle mode. The robot mode has almost no articulation with all the parts hindering each other. The elbows bend in a very awkward manner, but at least there is chrome. I like chrome, did I mention that it is also extremely hard to transform to vehicle mode?
