    I have owned mine for a few months now and I still have yet to buy a single battery for it. :lol 

    I do owe it to myself to get them though.

    Mine still is perfect. no issues. I don't transform him much because he's so blasted heavy. So instead I keep him in robot mode guarding my office from intruders.

    Yeah I don’t know where exactly I will put him.
    And I agree, I had thought of displaying in truck mode but he looks too cool in robot mode so that’s how he will stay.

    Truck mode would be a little easier to find the space for though. You Just have to chalk that wheels. Once that thing starts rolling it rolls. It’s a heavy toy.

    Waiting on what Lewin's next project will be. Recent post on their FB page has this cryptic message when translated through google:

    "Humanoid new packaging, new layout, new liner, knocking on the blackboard: the inside and outside of the package are kept well. This version is not replaced after the New Year's edition. I don't know much, I will have a new color in the future. Guaranteed to increase the amount of 30% accessories [smirking] limited edition worldwide only for 1 time, if there is a chance to overseas mystery customer customization 1.8 movable celestial statue will also open a few to everyone to see our communication, in short, we do everyone to see Yes, our quality and service, everyone feels, there are many good things, and you will wait for us."

    Wonder what color scheme it's going to be? A battle-damaged one would be interesting.

    Man this thing is only $320?! Nearly 3 feet tall, still transforms, and yet is cheaper than MP-44.

    I may get him just so I can use the HOV lane when I go to work.

    Here is mine on display. Just wish you could get to his cab light switch without opening this chest up and having to close again.
    A remote would be awesome for another run. That’s hasbro mp10 below.

    Yeah. It certainly was a waste but I can think of a lot worse I could have wasted that on. Ha.

    Yup. Drugs, alcohol, anything really.
    I drive a truck so it's fun seatbelting him in the passengers seat and having him look out the window. WELL worth it.

    With the number of drugs I take for health issues I can safely say they are. Especially since they take away from buying moar 3p Transformers! :(

    i take them for health issue's too as suffer chronic pain and depression ....... nothing wrong with a coctail of illegal drugs and booze now and then tho :p  :lol  now if you were buying that every day yeah i'd agree its a waste i know addicts friends and family

    a lot of 3rd party tf's are a waste as soon as a new one comes along or hastak produce a better one the one you bought goes down in value .... even some hastak mp's have gone down in value for example mp shockwave as soon as the ko hit and then the redeco it dropped in price quick i lost money on it when i sold it .... but with that in mind if you you enjoy them thats all that matters :D

    Yeah. But man this Optimus prime is,in my opinion, better than the Takara/hasbro version in terms of material.
    Not even meaning the size. But the plastic, die-cast, chrome parts. All of it. The tight ratcheting joints and the lights. Just an all together awesome piece. It’s very impressive and kids love it.
    Very glad I got it. I have no doubt the price for this will go up once no longer available based on supply and demand trends. (Not saying it should go up as it’s certainly not worth more) I know it’s technically a KO but it’s a killer KO and the emblem I got off eBay (metal) just finished the figure beautifully.

    Hi guys,

    Do you also have problems with the battery cover for his head not staying in?
    Need replacement if yours stays in.
    This is him lying on my bed.
    As soon as i get him standing, the cover will just fall off.

    My gun button is broken and only light up when i press the button in the whole time.
    I need ShowZ to replace this one for me.

    But this is awesome.

    Hmmm. My head battery cover stays on. Not that I have fiddled with it to see if it would fall off, but it doesn’t just fall off. Sucks about the gun but that’s an easy enough fix.
    I doubt the batteries would fall out and at worse case, use a bit of clear tape cut just right to keep cover on?

    Gun is not a ez fix at all.
    I've tried to open it and fix it myself.
    But it's all glued together, not a single screw where the light and battery are in.
    Not going to cut it open with a knife.
    And problem is the button, not wire or anything.
    I've posted 3 pictures.
    1 with button in, 1 out and 1 pressed in the whole time.

    Finally took the time to transform him into truck mode for my pics of my collection. Probably need a better one of robot mode tho. Atlas 1.jpg
