    Tiny figure, only 18 pieces, but still a decent amount of poseability in robot mode. No neck or elbows, but he still has balljointed hips, knees and ankles. Optimus comes with a G1-ish gun that has 2 clips and that can also be held by bigger Constructbots like Grimlock. Transformation is very simple: clip the arms to the sides, swing the feet in and tab them together, flip the head back, move the backpack down and clip it in place and swing the faction symbol down and you're done. Only real downside: the wheels don't roll all that well, they tend to jam/slide.

    PS: Normally, you're supposed to move the faction symbol between the chest and truck front for transformation, otherwise he wouldn't roll in truck mode, but I decided to leave it on his back to allow a perfect transformation.

    They're the ones I want the most. Will buy ASAP. I just wish my Wal Mart was getting these early.

    Actually found them at TRU! I was scared the cashier would take them away from me (says TRANSFORMERS MOVIE on the receipt), but nope!
