I DO LIKE THIS PARTICULAR VERSION OF PRIME's "ALT.-MODE" VERY MUCH MY FRIEND , BUT IT SEEMS THAT HIS CHASSIS IS RATHER DOMINATED BY HIS TORSO .
IT SORT OF MAKES ME THINK THAT HIS LEGS ARE JUST A BIT SHORT FOR HIS OVERALL BODY-TYPE & THAT HIS CRANIAL UNIT IS TOO SMALL FOR THE SAME REASON AS WELL . HIS LEGS DO , OF COURSE , LOOK GOOD , BUT THE MAIN TRUNK OF HIS BODY MAKES HIS THIGHS LOOK MUCH TOO THIN TO PROPERLY SUPPORT HIS WEIGHT .
I REALLY HOPE MY OPINION DOESN't OFFEND YOU SINCE I've NEVER SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT YOUR WORK BEFORE , BUT I THINK IF HIS FRONT BUMPER WEREN't QUITE SO PROMINENT WHILE HE's IN HIS BI-PEDAL MODE , THAT MIGHT DO THE TRICK .

Well, that's how Hasbro made the figure.

YEAH , I KNOW RIGHT ? ; INSTEAD OF TAKING THEIR CUES FROM THE PEOPLE WHOM ACTUALLY BUY THESE FIGURES , ALL THEY've EVER BEEN DOING IS PRETTY-MUCH JUST POPPING-OUT TOYS WITH AN - "WHAT-EVER-PEOPLE , I-DON't-R.E.A.L.L.Y-CARE !" - ATTITUDE FOR TOO MANY YEARS TO BOTHER COUNTING ANYMORE .
AND THEN THEY HAVE THE ABSOLUTE GALL TO ACT OFFENDED WHEN TRULY COMPETENT & INSPIRED CUSTOMIZERS LIKE YOURSELF CAN TURN THEM AROUND WITH SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS AN EXTRA COAT OF PAINT OR BY SWAPPING-OUT A FEW WEAPONS OR LIMBS TO MAKE THEM ALL LOOK GOOD & WORK EVEN BETTER .
{sighs heavily} PEOPLE IN THE TOY-INDUSTRY THESE DAYS JUST DON't TAKE ANY PRIDE IN THEIR WORK ANYMORE , & I'm BEGINNING TO DOUBT IF THEY EVER REALLY DID .
