some lows ...
1. the figure has seams when transformed
2. most of the paper work is missing (instructions, how to remove toy from foam, proper figure check list, red visor)
3. the figure check list packed with the toy features Ultra Magnus, Galvatron, and Rodimus Prime ... all post movie characters. (no Jazz, Sideswipe, Trailbreaker, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, Megatron, seekers, etc)
this is an awesome purchase for $100 ... these bootlegs far surpass any Takara or Hasbro reissue. I noticed all reissue Primes are made from G1's press of Ultra Magnus. (my G1 UM has the long pegs) ... this is a TRUE press of G1 prime, unlike what we've been buying since 2001.
This is all good to know. I've already purchased a black and OG red one, but now I really have to think about buying any more.
