This upgrade kit is great and all, but it also makes me upset that so far there has only been two 3rd party figures of TFA characters. Even then, those two characters shared the same mold and design and were background characters. I really wish some day instead of the fiftybillionth G1 third party figure we get something cool, like Animated Constructicons that can combine.
Looks like a great kit. Hope they do another run. I had to wait and now it's sold out everywhere. It was already pricey I sure as hell not paying the uncharged on secondary markets.
This one is a high point in 3P kits. It feels like it's been ages since there was one that really completed a figure vs just added to it. I don't think Hasbro was planning an upgrade, but I could see a commander class "perfect version" of him that was basically a reissue with an official kit
My only problem with this upgrade kit is that it took me too much deliberation to decide between Animated Optimus & Animated Motormaster. I eventually went with Optimus but I doubt I would've been disappointed either way. Love this kit
Maybe this is a camera thing, but the blues look quite different, especially on the leg pieces. I'm also just not really a fan of "upgrading" bots by giving them massive boots to stand on. It never feels proportionate.
I have this kit along with a gap filler kit that came out a little while back. All told, my figure is now worth about $105.00. In the end, the figure looks and feels great but man, does this get expensive...lol!
Oh man this was a long time coming, feels like 2009 Almanac came to life, happy new year to you too Peaugh!
Now that we got upgrade kits for both Optimus and Prowl, I hope BumbleBee gets an upgrade kit as well...

The blues are a bit off in hand on my copy, but it's not super obvious in more natural lighting.
I still prefer Sam's version. It makes prime much bigger. Same size as megatron.
The only issue with the flight pack is the connection point they came up with is pretty jank My copy's flight pack barely stays on.
This is very neat! Stay safe! Hope you still doing well too! 😎 👍
Kinda power master animated looks 👍
Am very tempted to get this set
