It's a good figure, albeit I wish they had retained the Headmaster gimmick, a retooled TR Hot Rod body with a recolored Quake head would have worked decently
I'm happy I waited for Minerva before making my decision and I can confirm I'll go with Minerva. Like you said, Elita looks really good, but this was meant for Minerva straight from the start! My only problem is that she's a Walgreen exclusive and there is no Walgreen in Italy... I just hope she won't cost too much on the aftermarket.

Elita is much more relevant as a character, yes, but I hate that I have to go through various steps to acquire the character this mold was meant for.
I stand by saying the altmode is a blocky mess same as Elita, but the unified color scheme helps tremendously. Love the bot mode; while it's unfortunate she's not a Headmaster, it's not a dealbreaker.
Ugh, I hate that vehicle mode too. I was hoping for some more earth mode retooling, at least for the clear roof.. I wonder if we'll be getting an earthmode version of this. I want more fem bots, but they are either oversized motorcycles or lack earth alt modes. I hope the RotB SS Arcee is going to be core class
Agreed.

Awesome figure, I can't wait to add her to my collection! I didn't have trouble with Walgreens exclusive figures before so I hope this is will be as easy to pick up. Thanks for the early preview PvP.
@@shanehai2699 I found a case of Red Alert figures at the Walgreens down the road from my work today when I was looking for Minerva if you're interested. There is a good amount of figures left.
MY GIRL’S GOT A NEW TOY! One of my favorite characters in TF and it’s been far too long since she’s got some time in the limelight. This is a 100% pickup for me if I can find her, otherwise I’ll just order her from somewhere. She looks so, so, so good. Wonder what the chances are of getting the other Headmaster Jr.’s anything soon…I would kill to have a shelve with proper modern toys of Goshooter, Cab, and Minerva all together.
I am cancelling my Elita-1 preorders and getting this one instead. As a HCP, I always get all of the rescue vehicles and I also have a dog named Minerva. 10/10 will buy. I might add some decos to the front though.
Holy cow! She’s brilliant! Now I don’t even know if I even want Elita anymore. Of course it’ll be tough to find as a Walgreens exclusive. Don’t worry about the bland paint, Toyhax will fix that…
great figure, awesome paint, but i really wanted the headmaster feature... we are rumored a legacy nightbeat soon, i hope we can get a second minerva from that.
I really like both from what I see with them. However I do have an issue with the fact they decided to cast Minerva's thighs in white and just paint over it in red, because it will chip off over time with play.
Looks absolutely dope! HOPE we get more fembots! I'd love a new moonracer! Good stuff, man! 😁👍🏻 It's a shame this has the exclusive doo doo like with Ratchet! 😮💨
I imagine that the junior headmasters have human names when human as well as codenames for their robot modes. Minerva being lifeline or possibly the female version of red alert.
I have no clue who this character is but the head sculpt and lack of a hat in vehicle mode make this the better version of the mold for me. If only the face wasn't orange.
Man...I have Elita-1 already and just got Minerva at my local Walgreens. I gotta say, I LOVE the alt mode colors. It looks so good as a little ambulance. I love the blue color of the windshield. Looks awesome. Elita-1 just looks too weird with its color choices.
@@jolt5644 wow, you realise that the entire English speaking world spells it mould? Only America uses the “simplified” mold. Like it’s spelled colour, honour, favourite, and so on, all over the world. But the arrogance to assume your way is the only way. Super American.
I like Elita more. They should of remolded the car up front of Minerva to make it look more like a Porsche. And have given her , her headmaster figure like the headmasters from titans return.
Walgreens exclusive. Dammit, means you won't be able to find it. Never saw the last exclusive in store (Kingdom Red Alert). And Siege Ratchet and Earthrise Bluestreak were a pain in the butt, but after awhile I did find them in store. Hopefully Walgreens doesn't botch distribution on this figure.
If it wasn't confirmed from the leaked photos already, it is confirmed now. Her Legacy figure isn't a headmaster. And I'm cool with that. I wasn't really a fan of the headmaster gimmick anyways. -Legacy Minerva looks awesome in both robot and vehicle modes. Like the comparisons between her and Elita 1. And like the opening photo of her with Netflix Wheeljack and SS86 Preceptor. Since the three characters appeared in the Transformers Victory cartoon, where they rebuild a wounded God Ginrai into Victory Leo. I do wish her guns were either the same blue as Elita 1 weapons, a more brighter/dark blue, or left clear plastic. Looking forward to getting Minerva and Elita 1.
Amazingly, after having made so many characters into Headmasters, the one figure I wanted to be a headmaster isn't. I like the Elita version. I'm thinking of passing on Minerva, but if I do get one, she will get HEAVILY customized.
What i like to do to differentiate legacy elita-1 and minerva is i fold the wheels against the back of elita so they doesn't appears over her shoulders
I don't really care about the Headmaster gimmick. So if I spot one at Walgreen's then I've eventually grab her and she'll be SIEGE Ratchet's nurse since I never found a solo Lifeline figure for a reasonable price.
I kinda wished they gave Minerva or Alita-1 a slightly sleeker hood and different looking feet, maybe even different head lights and side front hood of the car to change it up.
This mold is totally much better as Minerva, it is a shame Hasbro blows it again making this a Wallgreens exclusive, Im getting sick of those decisions, I now purchase less than half I did a year ago because of the stupid decisions Hasbro is making.
Minerva looks ok. But Elita 1 look ELITE! If you didn't know the character Minerva you wouldn't appreciate this figure. But Elita 1 just looks awesome regardless. The color pallet just makes her pop. I think the issue with the Minerva figure might be the choice of shade of colors.
@@marleyhenry5616 I have ordered mines from the Walgreens website. I don't think I ever seen her in any of the stores here, but then again, I go into Walgreens as often as I used to
It's a bit dissapointing that they didn't make her a Headmaster, when every single Headmaster up until now in WFC has been given the Headmaster gimmick.
Great review PrimeVsPrime!!! I'm super excited to get this figure, as it will be the first Minvera figure that is not just a head in my collection. :D Keep on being amazing.
I was hoping for an Elita-1 Cycle Alt mode for Legacy like the ARCEE but with her colors and a better.....upper torso. I really like this Minerva Colors but your right they should have given her some alt mode blue accents
Elita One as a Cycle is Ludicrous she's supposed to be the same size as Iron Hide and I hate the fact they keep making the females so petite looking when they were taller then a lot of the regular sized males.
If Kingdom Red Alert (2021 Walgreen exclusive) didn’t show up at your local Walgreen, then probably never for Legacy Minerva either. People who work there got absolutely no idea when it comes to toys.
I'm not crazy about the Alt mode, but the robot mode is nice. As for the lack of detail, I'm sure Toyhax will fix that.😎 I may take a black sharpie to the clear weapon.
I hate that she's exclusive to Walgreens (Like, I can count the number of times I've found Transformers there on one hand), but I'm sure as hell picking her up
well, I guess I'm gonna have to start camping walgreens. I didn't want Elita since I just got the Netflix one and having 2 identical characters (even if different lines) was weird to me except for main characters like Prime, Megatron, Soundwave, etc. but Minerva's really nice
Honestly, I wish she were a HeadMaster as she is supposed to be... but I do like the mold. If I didn't have the 3rd party better version of her, I'd probably try to find her. As it is, if I get lucky, I'll pick her or Elita-1 up for customization work, since I prefer the Earthrise version, even if it isn't screen accurate either. I like beefy fembots, but Elita-1 in particular only has been depicted that way with two toys, not other media, so it feels more shoe-horned for her. Minerva at least has a bit more variety in appearances, but still, I have a good version that is a Headmaster. But I would like some version of the mold for customization.
this is a nice repaint of elita 1 I didnt hear anything about this figure tho or the road hauler figure u reviewed:/ lol awesome review tho I will get this figure bc I want big collection lol great review always dude!
I will definitely get this as she is more hotter than elita1. Minerva is superior than elita1 in this mould. I can finally add her to my wreckers line up.
