This is a reissue Version, no bonus is lncluded.

![DNA Design DK-61 upgrade kit transforming Legacy United Vector Prime DNA Design DK-61 upgrade kit transforming Legacy United Vector Prime]()
▼Let’s just say… this kit was delayed for ages, but the final product disappoints more than impresses. Included parts: Shoulder armor, Arm guards, Calf side armor, Calf front armor, Wing replacements, Two swords (back-mounted pegs), Screw cover for jet nose. The highlight is a purple translucent sword — baffling choice. They should’ve redesigned the broken key peg on my Vector Prime instead!

▼Sword-planting poses work, but the sword is way too long.
![Back view displaying full transformation assembly extended wing design Back view displaying full transformation assembly extended wing design]()
▼Back-mounted sword storage exists but offers no locking mechanism — swords just loosely sit there.
![Top-down perspective of upgraded Transformer showing intricate panel Top-down perspective of upgraded Transformer showing intricate panel]()
▼Two swords: standard + energy blade. The exclusive is the purple translucent version.

▼Modular blades/hilts allow customization (the only praise-worthy feature).

▼Dual-wielding is possible, at least.

▼Now, the leg upgrades — my biggest gripe.

▼Foot parts are fine (toe articulation works). The calf front armor is a disaster: Visually bulky — calves look disproportionately thick vs. thighs/feet. Relies solely on flimsy end tabs (red circle) for attachment. The manual even suggests gluing it (later retracted), but it falls off if you breathe on it.

▼Baffling design choices: DNA delayed this kit for “calf armor adjustments,” yet ignored obvious peg/clip opportunities (red circles): Inner calf protrusions, Outer calf universal ports, Side armor tabs.
![]()
▼The 3D-printed “115” part (quality issues aside) worked better — it simply covered wiring gaps. Hasbro’s retools already painted the knee gold; just missing the vermillion center. No need to over-engineer thickness.

They even had me use glue during assembly (though I ended up reluctantly slapping on some Landin glue). Frankly, this isn’t how a properly engineered, mass‑produced plastic model should work—the designer clearly thought “bigger is better”: enormous wings, oversized pauldrons, a gigantic sword. In practice, the result is just so‑so: the shoulders are way too long, making the figure look unnaturally wide; the sword is absurdly long; and the lower legs… well, I’m too lazy to keep nitpicking.
