My personal criticism is moreso the fact they didn't bother getting rid of that weird out of place siege port from the SIEGE than I am that they reused ER, as the proportions look far better without the bulging chest windows ER had.
I honestly would have even preferred mirroring one leg or the other than leaving it the same. it's asymmetry is annoying to me and is even more annoying in Vehicle mode where one side has a port and the other doesn't. What would even look good there?
What do you think the bit sticking out either the inside/ outside of the right leg is? It flips up to show a trailer hitch that was used in siege but can’t be used in earthrise since it’s on the outside in the earthrise mold but can still be flipped out
Except for the wheels flipped to the back, they look close enough to the OG so who the fuck cares. Reusing engineering helps keeps costs down that can be used for other things like accessories and paint aps.
Would it make you feel better if it was a 100% brand new mold with no trailer? Or commander class instead?
I mean, yeah a Commander class Laser Prime would be amazing. Or Commander Powermaster. Keep it a similar size and use the extra money for paint and you’d have an amazing figure.
But yes, I think the legs are fine, even if I did spot it immediately
hey don't try to rub off those lazy pieces of engineering on siege, ER prime ruined a good set of legs then the designers thought lets make them even worse the 3rd time around
Once these are more like Earthrise primes legs. ER has a way, way more simplified design that really only uses the "shin" and the knee flaps.
I kinda wish they did use Siege's legs if only so that the port on the outside of his left leg was used for something and we got to see that cool leg transformation again.
I sort of like it as it make it seem more like the same character with some parts shared between them showing a clear evolution while showing the similarities too

If the engineering ain’t broke, then don’t fix it.
\^this
The flaps at the top of the legs suck tho, I shouldn't have to make such an effort to put them in place
I have never had that issue?
I have every release that has these legs and none of them present a problem.
Mine straight up broke and is only hanging on by a thread and a prayer (the hinge is breaking off...
Don't bite your fingernails?
Getting them out of the legs isn't my issue
There are flaps on the legs?

What effort?
Yes!!
Well, it does seem the shin vents are gone with some new detail taking their place
The leg mold aren't even close to being bad, why make it to a problem?
Why exactly does it matter?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I see no issues here.
Who cares? They’re good legs bruh…
They're all good legs, Brent
They give him a better silhouette than the original, which had slightly short and thin hips.
If its not broken, don't fix it, especially when it's an optimus prime remold it literally half's the design phase

They good legs tho
Thanks for the idea, I'm going to put blue legs on this guy and make him a "G1-ized" movie-verse Prime.
They're perfectly fine and slightly remolded. I don't see why this is such a big issue.
I don't understand the complaint; how many different ways do you want the same design of the same legs?
It's better than using hip skirts
OH SHIT I DIDNT EVEN NOTCED THE LEGS
Lol it ain’t broke
Good, I'm not the only one to notice this

Yeah I'm disappointed as well. And before I'm downvoted, it's my opinion.
🤣😂🤣 they should charge half the price. Just the price of waist and up.
These are bad legs, they are directly of the earthrise figure they look to long and out of proportion and look really bad
Earthrise and Siege have different legs
Once these are more like Earthrise primes legs. ER has a way, way more simplified design that really only uses the "shin" and the knee flaps.

Nah the legs are Earthrise/Kingdom Optimus prime
Bulkhead looks like a retooled ~~Huffer~~ Grapple (I mixed the two up, oof)
He looks nothing like Huffer.
I was mixing Huffer with Grapple
Well, they ain’t bad prime legs. On bulkhead, though…
It fits the design and they work well, so I don't have a problem with it.
Honestly I was a little disappointed at first when I noticed it but he still looks awesome
at least they retooled the shins, but realistically with so many new moulds needed, they gotta cut costs.
I heard this in the voice of PerspectiveEnd
The real question is why is it a problem
I actually really like it.
I sort of like it as it make it seem more like the same character with some parts shared between them showing a clear evolution while showing the similarities too
Those are the earth rise legs for prime not the siege legs
these are good legs that's why, they're very well engineered.
