Well, I finally got him out of the box. Bot is superb. I don't mind the trailer but it badly needs some colour. Simply molding the turret in blue would have helped a lot.

The set has three different wheels which is off putting. Grey painted steering wheels. Black driving wheels. And the grey trailer wheels. One thing SS Mixmaster did well was nice chunky wheels. CHUG wheels rival coins. Rimmel Rita Ora 820 Zinc Me Nail Polish matches the silver Hasbro has been using lately so has been a great little $3 buy for me. Add in a some black nail polish and my Prime (and a few other bots) now has silver rims and black tires on all his wheels.

The 5mm stud in the center of the trailer is interestingly placed. Doesn't work for much. Maybe Prime's back 5mm hold? Could be a portent for Roller. Speaking of rolling the 5mm stud on the tail gate doesn't help with rolling stuff out of the trailer.

Something that hasn't shown up in many reviews is that the turret base can be detached, then put back in reverse, then deployed outside the folded up trailer like the original. If some one could put up photos...

I love Prime's new hip articulation. We have seen it a few times on other bots and it is a marked improvement over the hip flaps. Likewise it is nice to have a Prime without kibble hanging off his arms. That has annoyed me for years.

I am liking the blue eyes. Light piping could have made them pop more. In hand I am not sure yellow would have worked. It is pretty dark under the visor. Maybe they should have stuck with grey hands. With little auto brands on them.

Anyway. I am having more fun with this figure than I should be. I guess I will be selling a Siege Prime really soon...
