- This super-sized Prime figure is sculpted around one major gimmick: rolling the toy forward in vehicle mode causes the cab to spin around, slowly unfolding into the robot mode torso. The legs are subsequently transformed manually, completing the robot mode. Pressing the Autobot insignia between Prime’s windows and the lights on his roof all activate assorted electronic effects, including red LEDs in his lightbar, yellow LEDs in his headlights and eyes, and sound effects including engine revving noises, a siren, and four speech clips featuring the voice of David Kaye. In robot mode, Prime’s (non-retractable) mouthplate jiggles up and down in time with his speech.
Prime is armed with a particularly cartoon-accurate axe, which can be held in either hand, but which specifically interacts with his right one. Placing the axe in his fist and pressing the button on the back of his hand triggers the axe’s pop-out translucent blades and rocket jet. Pushing down on the tab built into the back of his right shoulder extends the arm out fully, and releasing it lets Prime swing his axe down, accompanied by an electronic slashing noise. The left arm has a similar effect, except pushing the tab thrusts his arm forward in a punch, with accompanying sound effect.While Prime’s legs have a high range of articulation, like most Animated toys, his torso is heavily beholden to its gimmicks, and features no effective articulation whatsoever – the only part of his body above his wasit that you can manipulate that isn’t part of a gimmick is his right elbow.
