Deep discount hero.

Optimus here is the Autobot counterpart of the Machine Boy/Mengbadi Megatron I reviewed earlier.

He’s a similarly upsized, high quality KO of the Generations Legends Optimus Prime. He also costs the exact same amount of money as Megatron (RM10/$2.50). So yes, he’s an absolute bargain.

While Megatron is better painted and has the nicer headsculpt, Optimus here beats him out in terms of posability. Like holy crap, at this size (smallish Deluxe) it’s impressive. It’s mind boggling to think this was originally a Legends mold.

Also, a matter of personal preference here. I prefer to keep his shoulder things down rather than up.

I said that Megatron was my go to as a cheap present for kids. Well, I can’t in good conscience give them a Megatron without someone to battle. So now my go to cheap present is a Megatron/Optimus set.
