Word of warning with Missing Link Prime: Be really be careful with the sliding joints for the legs. I can see those snapping off one day. They're fine when sliding them out to widen the hips, but there is definitely not enough support for them when you're trying to manipulate their legs. The leg joints are so tight, especially the thigh swivel, that when you try to turn them, it puts a lot of stress on the respective slider. I recommend putting a plastic or hard rubber spacer between the two sliders when Prime is in bot mode so that when you are manipulating the legs, there is some support. Also, be very careful trying to turn his thighs on the swivel. It is so incredibly tight, that I imagine you could strain the slider very badly. Or eventually snap a leg off. It's a shame, because the toy is perfect otherwise.

Not to be all Gewunner or anything, but they've never topped the general aesthetic of the G1 toy boxes. It's one of those things they absolutely nailed the first time and have just never been able to top. They look so prestige compared to the newer series boxes. I adore Missing Link Optimus but I'm always terrified I'm gonna snap the legs off at the hip because the plastic holding them to the upper torso seems to fragine, I wish they'd done those bits in diecast or made them thicker. But I had the exact same experience, that "this is G1 Optimus, he shouldn't be able to pose like that" feeling. But he's brilliant and I'm happy they're doing Bee and Cliffjumper.

The Matrix compartment is removable. Some people have adjusted the screws in the thighs to keep them from being worryingly tight. There's a slight trick to getting him back into truck mode without a gap in the bed that involves actually following the instructions closely. I wouldn't typically know this but I believe this has some minor carry over subtle features from the Diaclone and whereas most later releases feature retooling that was done for Powered Convoy and Ultra Magnus to get him to adhere to the armor better. Ironically, the bootlegs on AliExpress and Temu also appear to be made from the Diaclone version. Leave it to a bootleg in this era to be MORE vintage accurate than what we got in the gold 1990 packaging or G2. But it apparently makes the new guy stand out that the sculpt and paint owe more to the original 84 production run than what most of us actually owned and apparently the painted eye details and such may even skew 1970s Diaclone. There are a number of lovely shots of him with Diaclone men and Takara synergistically did a three pack of Diaclone reboot fellas in largely the same primary colors as Diaclone Convoys. Those sold out most places quickly after this went up. It was like 40 quid for the three little dudes and some kind of forklift/crane thing that's about the size of a Titan Master vehicle. But, yes, you CAN have super-articulated Diaclone drivers for this and the original seats are under the removable Matrix compartment and all over Roller and the trailer.

Homebase have these bar LED things that you can stick or screw into the top of a shelf, they're battery powered and you can adjust the angle the light comes out so you can set how far back in the shelf they're illuminating. Would grt a bit expensive to get all your shelves lit up, but it's less than 20 quid for a pair of these, could be worth trialling on just one or two.
