Glad I'm not the only one who was pumped for this guy, and satisfied when he finally arrived. That said I always loved the G1 pacifist take on him so I almost always stash his guns on his back in 'bot mode

I wished my preorder was delayed because I just saw him at retail for sale at $35 along with other Leaders - Tigerhawk, RotB Optimus Primal, Bumblebee movie Megatron, BW TM2 Megatron, and Skyquake 😞. Oh well, you just never know when they go on sale. But I did get BW TM2 Megatron on sale, so it wasn't a total loss.

yeah, but if you tab the chest well enough, it will hold... unless you get him into some really crazy chefatron poses LOL

I had problems getting the cockpit tabbed together at first and my helicopter rotor blades are stiff and won't spin freely and they are pulled up and I don't understand what the problem is causing this.

I would usually recommend getting a good optimus prime figure for people starting their transformers collection...

I want a maskless version of the Legacy United Sandstorm, I have decided not to buy it until that happens. Sadly it’s probably not anytime soon though.

I'm sure they'll have one for the SS86 line... the faceplate is actually toy accurate I think... because in the cartoon we could see his nose and mouth when he spoke
