I like him a lot.....hell, even PRID, I thought it was ok. btw, I was a ollector by the time Armada one and Energon came out, thats why I see these rock!

Overall it isn't too bad but that backpack...

I'll probably still pick him up as he's only 29.99 and that isn't too bad. The backpack might not be as bad in person.

Yea, much like HA Sideswipe, its not like I am gonna display him backward on the shelf. Looks good enough for me. Sure it has flaws on the legs, backpack, etc, but it isn't terrible. Thanks for the pics and the earlier video review.

no thanks

The rather charitable price for a Leader-sized figure helps me want it.

I will probably buy this too.

Shocked that the lower legs are hollow. Had they not been, and had the arms been longer I think it would look better.

Looks decent it's molded in good colors so it doesn't look as cheap as PRiD Optimus.

Wallas if you have PRiD Optimus, how do you like this one in comparison?

Sadly this is my first Prime from this series and not sure if I'm looking forward to buying the Powerizer version, FE is my first choice too. However should this change I will show him off with other versions as well.

He looks fun, and if I don't get him at full price, I would definitely pick him on sale.

This just makes me wish we'd have gotten proper leaders.

There are small things with this that look brilliant, and they just make me imagine how brilliant it could have looked if it was more complex and didn't have the huge gimmick to deal with. Even with a battery pack it could still have been something special.

As it is it still could be a contender for "which OP do I get because FE costs too much."

These are my exact thoughts.

The legs are awful in every way, the face looks derpy, and the proportions are off, BUT: the gimmick is awesome, the size is nice, the backpack although larger than the RiD one, is actually less visible from the front, and his chest area is properly painted!
