Alt mode, and the primary reason for me picking this version of VP - the almost entirely black spaceship looks badass. This thing makes the Legacy version's ship mode look kinda dinky by comparison - VP's wings extend further to the sides to make it look wider and more imposing, he's got a proper bridge with a port on top to mount Safeguard for more firepower, there's a button just in front of the bridge that can launch a springloaded missile, and the top part of his backside looks a lot more armored than Legacy's exposed wiring. His sword also has a dedicated place to stow (in the side of the nosecone - the hilt makes a stabilizer that mirrors the static one on the opposite side), and VP's toes become a pair of double-barreled cannons on the ship's underside. In fact, the ship's underside in general looks far better than Legacy's - pretty much the only thing the newer VP does better in alt mode is that it has actual thrusters on its back, while the old one only has a set of vague rectangle shapes molded onto his thighs in that general area. I really li
Honestly, I think I prefer the older toy overall, even though it has a much simpler (yet cleaner) transformation and has 2008-era articulation.
