Its robot mode looks amazing... then I saw that its arms do that awful zig-zag thing in vehicle mode, just like the titanium figure did, and not like my beloved War Within Optimus from the comics.
At $130US, do you guys think its worth putting up with those double jointed arms sticking up in the air? |
In my opinion, the 6" Titanium WWI Prime was excellent. Probably one of the best from the line. (for what they were, that is. I won't pretend they were the best line ever)
But, having had this guy in hand I can say he's an absolute beast. The vehicle mode looks good, but I can see what you mean. You'd like a more streamlined vehicle mode.
Maybe the Iron Factory OP will be more to your liking? He's much smaller - only legends scaled - but he's got a tonne of personality. He's more of the IDW Stormbringer than WWI, but they are pretty close.
