    I remember clear as day getting this for Christmas in 1985. All I have left now is the trailer... I got the Toys R Us reissue back in 2002 and loved it, short smokestacks and all. Transforming it brought back every bit of happiness I remembered feeling the first time I did it that Christmas. It's an absolute legend of an action figure and hopefully I'll have it in one version or another for life.

Actually, I never realised that you're supposed to stand the command centre up on its end . I'm also relieved to see you've got his gun coz without that he's pretty worthless .... Well almost.

    Great review of G1 prime! Unfortunately, this one is a KO (at least the box is) Two things stand out, the grey line on the top of the window, and the "formers" being in the incorrect place. This is not anyone's fault, the KO companies do this all the time. there is a lot of misinformation out there.

Unfortunately, I was really rough on my toys so all I have left are fond memories and a damn good impression of Optimus prime in truck mode, air brakes and all.

    I have no idea what version the second one is, probably a Japanese only model, since I've not seen it anywhere online before (or here on YT) It's too wierd a design to explain, i'll have to dig it out one day and do a review.
