I’m not going to go into a lot of depth on this set, the molds are all repaints, not that it’s a bad thing of course!
The box is very well done and as I’ve mentioned before, I’m loving the new Generations logo.
The back has everyone’s tech specs, but I laughed at one aspect shown here:
Lol, apparently Optimus Prime’s rank is only a 9. If being a Prime doesn’t get your rank “10”, I don’t know what would!
The two Legends class figures are Thundercracker and Motormaster (or Motorbreath for legal reasons):
Both come with weapons, which is unique to the GDO Legends, Thundercracker has his null-rays, and Motormaster has his sword, which stores awkwardly on the roof of the cab:
Not too bad, Thundercracker looks good, Motormaster needs a trailer and not an Optimus Prime head.
Speaking of Optimus, the first of the two deluxes is a repaint of Laser Optimus Prime: Combat Hero Optimus Prime:
He’s super blue, but I really like the red piping and sword. Oddly enough, I actually have G2 Combat Hero Megatron MISB:
This mold has grown on me, mainly because of Shattered Glass Optimus Prime V2.
SG Ultra Magnus is also blue so I didn’t bother including him.
My only issue is that my Prime has some QC issues. His arms don’t want to line up very well:
I do love the G2 Autobot symbol, I kind of wish Jazz had it too. And speaking Jazz, the main reason I bought this set was for Jazz:
I love this mold, and the G2 color homage is done really well. Lets take a look with Repro’d RTS Jazz:
His paint apps are very nice, car mode is outstanding:
The painted rims are a nice touch compared to RTS Jazz too:
So there we go, nothing super special but a really nice set for G2 fans, and it uses some great molds for the figures. I still find Optimus’ tech specs funny.
Next up: FOC Sideswipe and “Air Raid”, stay tuned!
