(More customer reviews)Hasbro has been listening. When the first Armada Prime came out, many fans had a few problems with it. The following are some of those problems, and how Hasbro has fixed them.
1) Poseability. Fans were disappointed at the first Prime's lack of articulation. Hasbro says, "they want articulation? Let's give it to 'em." This new Prime has eleven points of it, including a head that can look up, down, and side to side. The ANKLES even pivot so that when Prime is posed with his legs apart, his feet can be flat on the ground. Good work, Hasbro.
2) The trailer. Infrared technology is cool and all, but the trailer seemed to still have a few bugs. After an initial try, many fans found the trailer to be more trouble than it was worth, what with the noise, partial transformations, and battery problems. Besides, half the fun of Transformers is transforming them by hand! Hasbro says "who needs a trailer at all?" The new prime marks the first semi-truck Prime figure ever (that I know of) to not come with a trailer, and that's fine with me. His mini-con has a place to ride back there, and there's a hitch that suggests (along with Hasbro media) that future accessories will be able to be "hitched" to Prime.
3) Cost. The first prime was just plain expensive. This one, which is an improvement in nearly every way, comes in at just under $.. at most retailers.
4) Accuracy. This Prime, partially because of the articulation, is far more accurate to the comics and TV show, which translates into a really cool-looking figure. The awkward "shoulder pads" look and clunky legs of the first Armada Prime have been addressed.
Seems pretty durable.
Two problems I have so far: I can't figure out how his mini-con unlocks the "double-punch" feature, he plugs in and the lever still doesn't want to move. Maybe I'll get the hang of it. Also, the mini-con looks great on its own, but as Prime's "gun" kinda looks rediculous. Other than that, the best Prime toy yet. Great job, Hasbro!
