yer i do agree that it was not a cheap toy, but for the series of cartoons that was on tv it was awesome to have a bot of that calibre written in to the story and to have O.prime combine into him was my favorite part. it is like G1 with metroplex not to flash on the development part but if you had that toy it was awesome. there are alot of toys out of different lines that have better development and look better but IMO i think that for it's time it was a great toy to aquire.
