Transformers Legacy Leader Laser Optimus Prime In-Hand Images

I just got this figure but the eyes bother me. Would a Gundam marker be good for the eyes?

The eye’s actually have light piping… it’s not the greatest. I have 2. I used gunmetal around the eyes and light blue on the eyes themselves. I used a bit of thinner and little paint to make the paint smooth out. Didn’t need much. Gave it to my kid. The head is glued I would not recommend trying to pop it apart. I used to have 3. Silver might make it look more like the Original toy.

Agreed. A standard G1 Prime is cool, but it's awesome when they take that design and make it unique.
G2 and the new Volvo Prime are great takes built on a solid foundation.

It's also interesting how they're opposites in where their cabs end up!
View attachment 29761164 Though I wish they'd do another G1/G2 inspired Prime where his arms come from the nose of the truck, like TR Prime.

TR Prime is cool but his articulation leaves a bit to be desired.

I love the Volvo Prime design. I’d like a Nemesis Prime repaint cuz I’ve never owned one. I almost got TR but I knew he was a pre tool of Octane (tone) and I wanted him more. I’d like more liberties taken for original designs like with Age of Extinction Prime. Badass customs btw!

I'm really enjoying this version of Optimus Prime! Maybe someday I'll get the Earthrise version.

Here are some shots with Rodimus Prime:

How about a sparring match?

"En garde!"

"One shall stand, one shall fall!"

"I'm not that easy, old iron!"

"I thought you were made of sterner stuff, Hot Rod!"
"HEY that was mean >=("

"This old iron is just teasing you, Rodimus. Good match."

"…so if you want your nemesis to be swarmed by bees, you spray them with a Super Soaker full of lemonade."

"That and Megatron's new neon paint will attract all the bees east of the Mississippi River!"

I love this Prime. I like OP designs that stray from the G1. This guy is a solid Optimus.

I just ordered this figure on Amazon for $37 before tax. I didn't think the G1 Prime was worth the $50 price tag, so considering how much beefier everything looks about this figure, especially with the tanker trailer, I thought it was a good bargain. I still wouldn't have spent $50 on even this figure, so I'm happy about the price. I'm looking forward to displaying it with Kingdom Rodimus Prime  

I remember being a little kid wanting to get an Optimus Prime figure that looked like how the character did in the G2 cartoon – you know, the cabover truck design. My parents did a day trip to Toronto and back and brought me home a surprise – Laser Optimus Prime! Of course being the anal kid I was, I was like "That's NOT Optimus Prime!" Boy I was pretty ungrateful saying that, wasn't I?   But I wasn't even 10 yet and didn't have a filter. But as the years went on I really appreciated what my parents got me as well as how awesome a figure that G2 Laser Prime was at the time. I still have it and I'm looking forward to getting the Legacy version  

My parents did get me G2 cabover Prime during their following day trip to Toronto, which I also still have  

So thanks mom and dad – this is one of the character figures that really got me into Transformers collecting.

I think the missile pods do a lot to help bulk up his legs, and they provide some extra color to break up all the black.

the clip on missile launchers that are the "barrels" when he holds the trailer in the official configuration are a little loose and will fall off if sharply jarred or shaken, but will stay on if properly aligned for general movement. the 5mm pegs are all fine, not too loose, not too tight. ill post a kit review later with more picks as this kit is specific to this figure and ive only seen one other picture on the general upgrade thread.

i havent seen any reviews or picks about the matrix workshop upgrade kit, so im just gonna drop this here;

Which has more sentimental value? If thats not an issue flip a coin. Usually the coin flip will help ypu decide one way or another.

Ah they both do, but Black Convoy has a deco that suggests that the designer was only half a fan of the OG colors

I remember RID '01 Scourge for $39.99 at TRU. But I'm an old fart and could be senile as well.
 

Really? Mine had him at $30 plus they did a promo with spend x and you got 2 free sets of spychangers. TWAS A GOOD BOUNTY THAT DAY!! G1 Magnus Reissue AND Scourge plus the unreleased G2 Gobot molds as freebies. God I miss those days…

I've been trying to decide, get this or Black Convoy… I thought the choice would've been easy…
