Legacy Jhiaxus
I'm not the most familiar with this character, and I hear the figure has a tendency to turn yellow over time, but he certainly has some presence for a voyager figure. His transformation is very clever, but I do wish his arms were used more. As they are, they just kinda sit underneath the jet mode. The nosecone is a little hollow, maybe they could go there.
Legacy Wildrider
Oof, this guy is a massive downgrade from Dragstrip. He's a very mediocre figure - I'd probably have ditched him if he wasn't needed for Mensaor. His quality control and design are fine, he's just very lazily engineered.
Legacy Knockout
I know a lot of people get irked by how they G1-ified the Prime characters and whilst I do understand that, this design is warming to me. Still, this is a retool of SS86 Jazz, and I've heard issues of breakage on this mold, and man does transforming him make me anxious. His spear is also engineered super weird? Very all-over figure, to be honest.
MasterMind Creations Reformatted Eris Kultur (Rule 63 Tarn)
MAN what a figure this is. A bit pricy, but 100% worth it. She's probably the best figure in my collection - she's insanely well articulated, her quality control is fantastic, and her engineering is simple yet satisfying. Not only that, but her overall design is phenominal - for a rule 63 character, I'm happy the designers didn't go 100% horny.
Studio Series Crosshairs
I'd actually been considering hunting down the old Last Knight version, but this is 100% better. Sure, he is like 90% backback but it's engineered well enough as to not feel like cheating, and it is screen accurate. The level of detail is a massive upgrade from the older figure too.
Studio Series Sideways
I'm still mad at how this guy was treated in the movie but that doesn't make the figure any worse. This one really highlights the comparisons to Barricade, but he's just different enough that it doesn't bother me. He's got a very unique silhouette, what with the gorilla arms
Legacy Minerva
I hear she's exclusive to a pharmacy in the US? Weird. Apparently that makes her super awkward to find lol. Not here though, got her at my usual place. She's better engineered than most female characters, but unlike Eris she does suffer from some of the usual sins, such as an upper torso that doesn't change much. Still, I think I prefer her over the original version of the mold (Elita-1). The ambulance-car form works better than the spacecar.
Studio Series Jetwing Optimus Prime
This is the new reissue, since I was broke af when he initially dropped. He's a very cool figure with a lot of features - he really reminds me of older leader class figures. Take Earthrise Prime for comparison - that figure is way simpler, and his trailer is just a hollow brick. This figure is about the same size but he has a trailer crammed full of cool shit, and the actual bot is FAR better than the older Optimus Prime figures. Tempted to get the upgrade kit for him.
Legacy Dead-End
I was hyped for Dead-End, given how well Dragstrip was made (Dead-End reuses much of the engineering), but I think I got one with dodgy QC since his legs seem kinda shit. Still, his car mode is very cool looking, and overall this isn't a bad figure.
