The robot mode seems to have some similarities in construction to the old Powemaster Optimus Prime with how the chest seems to plug in to those side panels and the head flips up. Weird.

On mine, it also seems like it's not holding as sharp of a shape, especially around the vertical bit in front of the trailer hitch where the jetpack clips on in vehicle mode. Maybe a different plastic than usual? Anyone else noticing that the blue plastic is showing stress marks almost instantly?

It sort of legitimizes something I had been considering last year: Buying Metroplex and populating him with a bunch of legends class figures. Something I always thought would be neat to do, but never got around to doing. funny thing about that ark.

I rushed to the computer to unburden myself of the amusement and share it with the world - presumably as some unread post in the lingering prior thread, because obviously you would not be still beating this horse anymore.
