Review #83: God Prime Perfect Effect Upgrades
PC-15 Perfect Combiner Upgrade Kit for LG-Jinrai
and PC-16 Perfect Combiner Jinrai Prime
Today we look at a pair of third party upgrade kits for the recently reviewed Powermaster Oprimus Prime. These upgrades come courtesy of third party company Perfect Effect. These sets were sold as part of their Perfect Combiner line, started as upgrades for Combiner Wars. We previously looked at the PC-05 upgrade set for Superion. On the surface, sets that upgrade a single figure may seem odd to sell under the "Perfect Combiner" name. But I suppose we could throw Perfect Effect a bone and say, "Well, Prime combines with Godbomber, so it counts, right? Right?"
Ahem. Well, the first set, PC-15, contains the lovely pieces shown in the photo to the left. A new Jinrai, er, Ginrai figure, a new head for Optimus Prime himself, and two random grey pieces I will elaborate upon later. |
We shall begin by looking at the new Ginrai (cleverly named "Jinrai" to avoid Hasbro and Takara's lawyers) figure. Here he is along with the G1 figure and the Titan Master figure. The Perfect Effect figure is on the left of these photos, G1 in the middle, and the Titan Master on the right.
Looking at both updated figures compared to the G1 figure, they are both very nice updates to that G1 figure. The Perfect Effect version has a more stylized look, and definitely benefits in robot mode from having two separate legs. Compared with the Titan Master the Perfect Effect figure is more articulated. They both have ball jointed shoulders, but Perfect Effect offers a wider range of movement. There's a few swivels at the hips that would allow for forward or outward movement. The knees are on ball joints that are quite expressive. The Titan Master does have one bit of articulation that the Perfect Effect figure lacks. The Titan Master has a ball jointed neck, where as the Perfect Effect figure's neck is static.
|
It is worth noting that the Perfect Effect figure feels somewhat fragile. The ball joints, especially the ones on the knees, seem to pop off easily. Not too big a deal, they can just pop back on, but it does make posing or transforming him a bit of a chore. More problematic are the swivel joints where the legs pivot outward. This is the joint between the red plastic of the thighs and the white plastic of the hips. There is a crazy thin peg holding this joint together which often comes apart and which I am extremely worried may stress and eventually break. The takeaway here is that this is a figure that is not for children to play with, and that even adults want to take extra care with.
Looking at the back view photo above, you will notice the lack of a face on the Perfect Effect figure's back. That brings us to what the main goal of the PC-15 set seems to be: removing the Titan Master gimmick from Powermaster Optimus Prime, and giving him a Ginrai figure that transforms into a Powermaster engine rather then a Headmaster style figure.
Of course, this then leads to an issue with the original head of the main figure's robot mode. Without the Titan Master figure, Optimus Prime would have hollow, dead eyes. Hence the replacement head that this set also comes with.

Again, Perfect Effect is on the left, G1 in the middle, and the Titans Return head is on the right. (Taking these photos is probably the first time I've been happy that the G1 figure's head is a separate piece!) The two modern heads are both obviously different but equally valid interpretations of the G1 head. The Perfect Effect one definitely has advantages. It has an extra joint (which we'll see later when we look at it installed) which allows for Optimus to look up. And the lack of a giant hinge on the back of the head (so that it can open up to remove the Titan Master from inside) is definitely an aesthetic improvement. In these photos, the original head's eyes (or rather, the Titan Master head's eyes peaking out from within the mask) do stand out more and thus look nicer, but the Perfect Effect head does have a trick up it's sleeves (or rather, in its eye sockets) which we'll see a bit later.
First, let's take a look at how the head and the Powermaster engine integrate into vehicle mode.
First, let's take a look at how the head and the Powermaster engine integrate into vehicle mode.
Meh. I mean, the head integrates well in that it goes on and stores away. (Installing it is as easy as sliding the original head's mushroom peg out of its slot and popping the new head in its place.) The Powermaster engine, meanwhile, can slot into some groves inside of the existing cab. However...
Unless I'm doing something wrong, I can't see how to have the Powermaster engine slotted in place and have there be clearance to get the doors making up the front of the cab closed. You can take the Powermaster engine and just kind of shove it inside of the cab in a different way, though, which looks dumb but doesn't rattle around (as there isn't really room to) and won't be seen anyway once the cab is closed.
And thus, we end up with an upgraded vehicle mode which... Which looks completely unchanged from the stock figure. PC-15 really doesn't shine here. Maybe it does more for the robot mode? Which reminds me... Remember those two grey pieces? I said I would elaborate upon them later. Later is now now.
Well, Hasbro's Powermaster Optimus Prime figure had some obnoxiously hollow bits. The most obnoxious of these would have been on the arms, which Takara fixed with the remolding they did to the figure. But one bit that Takara left untouched was the figure's inner thighs. These grey pieces are to fix that.

These grey pieces are to fix that.
These pieces are really good. They slot right in. Friction holds them in place. They look great. They don't need to be removed ever, as they don't impede any of the figure's modes.The color matches perfectly with the Takara version of the figure, as you can see. If you have the Hasbro version, everything in PC-15 is still compatible, but the color won't quite match on the thigh fillers. And if for any reason you ever decide you don't want the thigh fillers in, they come out just as easily as they slide in.
How does the Powermaster engine integrate with robot mode?

Well, with the robot's head no longer also in the chest, you can slot the Powermaster engine in farther back. Now the cab has clearance to close with the Powermaster slotted into place. Allowing you to have an awesome upgraded robot that...! That the Powermaster, frankly, has no effect on. Closing the chest again hides it away completely, leaving it hidden behind either the faux Powermaster chest on the Takara version, or whatever the giant silver mess is on the chest of the Hasbro version.
So, what's the point, then? Well... there's still the new head to look at. Let us take a closer look.
So, what's the point, then? Well... there's still the new head to look at. Let us take a closer look.
It is a good looking head. But then, I didn't really have a huge issue with the original head. The only great advantage this one offers is if you really don't like the Titan Master gimmick, now you can be rid of it. Oh, and the ability to look up a bit isn't too bad.
I did say I was going to talk about the eyes more. That is one neat thing about this head: it has light up eyes! Unfortunately, the included batteries (two size 379 button batteries) didn't last very long, and I've yet to replace them. So you'll have to deal with the enlarged crop to the left from a photo I took the day I first got him. (I'll share the full photo at the end of the review.) They look cool when on, and don't look awful when off, but it is hard to deny that the Titan Master's eyes are a bit more photogenic. |
So, when it comes right down to it, PC-15 adds a Powermaster figure who is practically invisible when not being used as an individual figure, a new head with negligible benefit if you aren't horribly offended by the Titan Master head, and some awesome thigh fillers. All this for the low, low price of $35!
$35 for some thigh fillers? Frankly it is a bit much. And PC-15 by itself I could not recommend. If only there was another upgrade set that would make PC-15's other componants more worth your time... Oh wait! There was another part to this review. And so...

And so we come to PC-16 Perfect Combiner Jinrai Prime, an upgrade set that the main thing it adds is a new cab for Optimus Prime. A new cab that actually transforms into its own robot, just like on the G1 figure! This leads us to an interesting situation here, where we are looking at an upgrade kit that can also work as a stand-alone figure, as well.
Looking at it in vehicle mode, it is a great looking Optimus Prime cab. It comes with a gun that looks very similar to the original G1 Optimus's gun, and which can be held on the back of the figure in what is kind of Optimus Prime's default obvious weapon storage. G1 Powermaster Prime didn't have a gun like this, but I kind of didn't let that stop my example of that figure of having one, so I like that this figure has one, too! They match! |
Like the G1 figure, the front of the cab does not form the core robot's chest, and thus there is a faux chest on the back of the cab. The G1 figure hid this a bit by having the arms fold up over it, something that this version lacks. So the faux chest is a wee bit more obvious. (And by "a wee bit," I mean, "a whole lot.") It somehow manages to not look bad, though. In fact, in vehicle mode, this is a figure that looks good from every angle.
There is a bit of a gap in the front bumper where it comes apart for transformation. Honestly, though, it is one of those things that gets really accentuated by photography. In person, it doesn't really bother me at all. Likewise, the really obvious ball joint on the sides of the cab blends in with the silver stripe to the naked eye a lot better then it does when the silver paint in the stripe is accentuated by the camera's flash.
One thing I was taken aback by when I first saw this figure was the blue patch on top of the cab. Sometimes you see things like this on official figures, as Hasbro's on a budget, and sometimes you have to deal with whatever color spruce a piece of plastic happens to be on. But third party figures usually don't worry about such things. If a piece is supposed to be red, either they will make sure it is on a red spruce, or they'll pony up for a bit of red paint. So, why is this piece blue?
Then I was looking at it with the G1 figure next to it. And, well, I'll be damned. The way the G1 figure's arms fold up leaves a blue patch on the roof of the cab. So the Perfect Effect figure having a blue patch there actually gives it fidelity with the G1 version!

PC-16 works excellently as a stand-alone figure, but let's see how it looks with something else. The official figure? Nope! Not quite yet, at least. First, let us see if maybe this figure can make PC-15 a little less useless.
The G1 figure had a spring loaded recession on the front that the Powermaster engine can plug into. The Perfect Effect version doesn't have a that, but rather the grill is on a panel that you can rotate around to reveal a recession that the engine can plug into. All that's left is to transform the little Ginrai/Hi-Q figure into the Powermaster engine, and plug him in. And, voilà!
Now this is starting to look more like a proper Powermaster Optimus Prime! The Powermaster engine looks perfect plugged in, finally making PC-15 seem like more then some nice thigh fillers and some useless fluff. It does stick out a bit more then the G1 version, meaning that from some angles it is a little obvious that it is a little folded up dude stuck to the front of a truck. But for the most part, this looks good!
Now, let us put it all together. Removing the original cab is as simple as removing a single screw. Once the original cab is removed, left behind is the perfect peg to use as a trailer hitch, which plugs into the new cab. Plug it on, and:

Yes. Oh my god, yes. Yes, please. This is what Powermaster Optimus Prime is supposed to look like.
The original cab is all but ready to be relegated to the junk heap.
Comparing it with the G1 figure, it is quite an impressive update in vehicle mode.
Now to look at the new cab in robot mode.
My god, this is a fabulous looking Powermaster Optimus Prime! Other than the oddity of having the smokestacks on his chest, it looks very much like someone just took the G1 figure and said, "Let's do that again, but with modern engineering. And those smokestacks? They grew on me quite quickly. It gives this Prime a distinctive look of his own, and their placement even kind of homages a large transformation hinge present on the original figure.
|
Looking at this figure with both the G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime and the original G1 Optimus Prime, it is clear that this figure is Powermaster Optimus Prime. (Or Ginrai, for fans of the Japanese fiction.) That being said, it seems to take a few touches from the original version, too. Just tiny things, such as the coloring on the feet. And, of course, the gun. (As mentioned, the gun my G1 Powermaster Prime is sporting here isn't original to him.)
Meanwhile, looking at the original version and this new version of Powermaster Prime from the back, it is clear there are some differences here. Such as the real cab ending up upside down on the new version! It is a nice touch that the Powermaster engine can stay plugged in on the figure's back as it can on the original.
For fun, to the right is a look at the evolution of Classics Optimus Prime, with the figure that I use as an updated version of the original Optimus and now this updated version of Powermaster Optimus. They look good together!
And now to talk articulation. This figure has it up the wazoo! The head is on a very expressive ball joint. The shoulders have a few joints in them, including more very good ball joints. There's a swivel just above the elbow, a great elbow bend, and a transformation joint just above the wrist that can double as a wrist curl. The wrists can also swivel, as the hands are attached via a peg. (More on that in a moment. |
Here is something you very rarely see in a Transformer: this figure has an ab crunch! And usually such a joint is just a happy coincidence of a joint needed for transformation, but here this joint exists purely for purposes of the figure's articulation. Below that we have a waist swivel that allows 360° of rotation. The hips have more excellent ball joints, there's upper leg swivels, excellent knees, and ankle tilts in the feet.
Going back to the wrists, remember I mentioned they were attached via pegs? This allows the hands to be removable, and the figure comes with an alternate set of open hands. Hand options and almost excessively awesome articulation makes for one photogenic figure!

If you remember my review of the official Powermaster Optimus Prime, I lamented that it felt particularly weird not to have the un-super robot as an option when he was in his base mode. After all, the base needed to have Optimus Prime commanding it, not just offering physical support by literally still being a truck cab and holding up the back of the base. Well, now you can have that! But it does lead to one issue... You do also kind of need that cab there offering that physical support and holding up the back of the base! One solution, of course, is just to grab the original cab and shove it in there. Yes, it means having a rather large extra piece that you don't really need for any of the other modes. And yes, not being screwed on, the fit is a bit loose and not perfect. But, it sort of works.
There is a slight problem with Ginrai/Hi-Q's interactivity with this mode. The official one can comfortably seat himself in one of the grey, double barreled guns, just like the G1 figure could. The Perfect Effect figure, however, does not fit sitting there. Really, between this and the lack of back support with the original cab removed, while the base mode is still usable, it is clear that Perfect Effect's upgrades did not have this mode in consideration when designing their upgrades.
Comparing it with the G1 base mode, Optimus does seem a little big compared with the base itself, but not completely our of scale with it. All things being said, though, while I still say that while I still think this isn't the worst base mode in the world, I can't escape the feeling that once this review is done, I shan't revisit it very often. The G1 figure, every once in a while, will be in my display in this configuration. I can't say I will do the same with the modern one.
It is time to take this extremely awesome Optimus Prime figure and remember that he is actually intended as an upgrade kit for another figure.

Removing the stock cab from the chest leaves a nice big opening for Optimus to slot into his Super-mode armor.
It is totally not necessary to have both upgrades, and PC-16 is capable of working without PC-15. You will need to have the grill turned around on PC-16's cab in order for there to be clearance for the Super armor's chest plate with the faux Powermaster to fit over the cab.
You end up with a pretty good looking Super Optimus Prime! I really like the longer smokestacks that the upgrade set adds to this figure. This isn't entirely accurate to the G1 figure, which had very stumpy smokestacks, but I do think it looks very good and screams, "I am Optimus Prime!" (Oh god... I just gave myself a flashback to Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Optimus Prime...)

I just gave myself a flashback to Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Optimus Prime...)
The stock head from the official figure can work with the new cab, but it is not without problems. First, there are two hinges on the Perfect Effect cab, circled in yellow in one of the photos directly above, that the hinge on the back of the head nestles directly between. This has the effect of cutting off the head's articulation. Also, officially the original head doesn't have storage inside of the cab for vehicle mode. It can fit inside if turned sideways... but thanks to those hinges that impede head movement, the only way I can find to turn it sideways is to pop the head off, turn it, and pop it back on. I suppose, if one was feeling generous, one could consider this a homage to the G1 figure's head being a separate piece? Yeah, not the most convincing of arguments... Still, while not perfect, the original head will work if one doesn't want to get both upgrade sets.
But of course, if you do have both upgrade sets, you'll want to use everything together. The chest plate was pretty tight to the cab, so how will it fit over the Powermaster engine?
The answer is that it won't! So what do we do? We rip that chest plate right off and replace it with a new one included with PC-16. The new one omits the faux Powermaster and leaves room for the PC-15 Powermaster to shine through. |
So here we have Super Optimus Prime as he looks when kitted out with both upgrade sets. And my goodness, he looks good. PC-15 finally comes into its element as Super Optimus Prime has a proper Powermaster on his chest. And the new head, without the giant hinge on the back, is able to make full use of its articulation. (And is able to store away for vehicle mode without partsforming.)
This is finally a worthy update to the figure I remember owning as a child.
Articulation is unchanged from the un-upgraded figure with the exception of it being improved slightly thanks to the additional joint in the neck.
At this point it is time to ask, is the upgraded figure still compatible with Godbomber? Why yes, it is! And so, we can take this worthy update to a figure I owned as a child, and turn it into a worthy update to the reissue I picked up in my adulthood!

The armor fits perfectly. Even better then before, actually, as it doesn't use those tiny clips I worried might break, so now those clips are safe and the armor still holds on quite secure without using them. You do have to fold away PC-16's smokestacks, as otherwise one of them would bump into the God Cannon a bit. (I suppose technically you could leave one smokestack out, but that would be all asymmetrical! No thanks!)
You can give him the gun that came with PC-16 to hold if you wish... but it isn't the best hold in the world since it bumps a bit into the Godbomber-gauntleted forearms. The ankles of the figure continue to be a bit problematic, having to contend with the weight of the equivalent of two Leader Class figures, and now a little more weight added by the upgrades. Still, my ankles don't seem as awful as complaints I have heard others make would make them out to be. I can get him into a good looking pose and keep him standing.
At this point, I am sure some of you may be looking at these photos and thinking, "Hold on, wait a moment. If you're using the Godbomber armor, what is the point? You were upset at PC-15 for being something that just hides away unseen inside of the figure's chest. Once you add the armor on, doesn't the same thing effectively become true for PC-16, too?"
Objectively, I must concede that would be a valid point. But two things come to play here. One is that I am not the sort of collector who just sticks their figures on the shelf and never touches them again. Sometimes this will be on the shelf as God Prime, sure. Other times, it will be Super Optimus Prime and his buddy Godbomber. Still other times, it will be regular ol' Powermaster Optimus Prime. Other times, everyone will be in vehicle mode. So at various points, everything will be on display.
The second thing is a bit more abstract... PC-15 by itself didn't feel right to me because the Powermaster engine isn't supposed to hide away unseen inside of Super Optimus Prime's chest. PC-15 together with PC-16 does feel right to me, even when hidden away inside of the God armor, because that is how it is supposed to be. Does it make logical sense? Probably not. Does it feel right? For me, at least, hell yes.
Will it feel right for you? Maybe. Maybe not. To help answer that, let's do something I have never done before. Let's crunch some numbers. Numbers being crunched here will be based on approximate domestic retail costs at the time of release.
If you want everything here, you will need either Takara's Super Ginrai figure or Hasbro's Magnus Prime. Either will set you back about $100. (Although at least Magnus Prime comes with some other figures, as well.) Then of course, you'll need Godbomber. Another $70. PC-15? $35. And PC-16? $60. So, all together, we're looking at $265 for this Powermaster Optimus Prime! Now consider that the domestic retail version of this figure has an MSRP of about $45. That's a hell of a difference!
Do you not care about Godbomber, not mind some reimaganing, and don't care about anything other then vehicle mode and the Super robot mode? Save yourself a bunch of money, go with the domestic retail version. $45.
Do you just really hate the Titan Master gimmick for some reason? The only extra thing you'll need is PC-15. $80.
Do you not care at all about Godbomber, but just want a more accurate Powermaster Optimus Prime? Everything in the upgrades will be compatable with the Hasbro figure, so you can make it happen for about $140.
Or you could be insane like me and go all out! $265 it is! Personally, I think he is worth it. But, of course, your mileage may vary.
At this point, I am sure some of you may be looking at these photos and thinking, "Hold on, wait a moment. If you're using the Godbomber armor, what is the point? You were upset at PC-15 for being something that just hides away unseen inside of the figure's chest. Once you add the armor on, doesn't the same thing effectively become true for PC-16, too?"

Before we conclude, something else I rarely do: let us take a look at something that has yet to be released. Perfect Effect is coming out with yet another upgrade kit for this. To be fair, this set seems aimed specifically at those who own Godbomber, so making it a separate kit does seem fair to those who don't care about Godbomber. This set, which will set you back another $35, includes the pieces in the photo to the left. Extensions for each of Godbomber's red wings, two replacement guns for Powermaster Prime's black guns (I am happy with the stock ones, but I have seen people complain they are too small and/or too thin), a new sword that presumably God Prime can hold without dropping it or having it fall apart, and two blue pieces.
|
Honestly, this set doesn't really do it for me. The added wing bits make the wings comically oversized. I don't need the new guns. I can live with the original sword. The only parts that interest me are those blue bits.
The blue bits are actually quite ingenious. When Godbomber is just being Godbomber, they fill in his somewhat gappy (but understandably so, given what they need to be able to do) arms, and hopefully even hold the arms together a bit nicer. Meanwhile, in God Ginrai mode, those same blue bits work to stabilize the figure's ankles. Ingenious! But $35 worth of ingenious? I dunno... Maybe if this set had also included something to stabilize the somewhat floppy God Cannon, which frankly is more of an issue to me then the ankles are. But for what this set does provide, it is not worth it to me to push my already crazy $265 investment up to an outright insane (if at least more even) $300! But enough about what I don't have and don't plan to get. Going back to what I do have... it is size comparison time! I slipped the stock cab back into God Prime, so we could see both he and the new cab's robot mode together with a standard DVD case. G1 God Prime is joining them for fun. |
This is a great figure, and if you are insane like me, I highly recommend having this in your collection. If you're not quite as insane, and still want a Classics style representation of Powermaster Optimus Prime in your collection, I have outlined some other possible options above. In any case, if Powermaster Optimus Prime is something you want, which ever way you end up going, I am sure you will be satisfied. Highly recommended!
Lastly, here's the full photo from the day I first got him, with the batteries for his eyes still working. It is also a nice look at some of my other figures, most of the ones in this photo being ones that have yet to be reviewed on this website.
