    Do wish it was like pre-2007 when Optimus with Yellow eyes was more the rule rather than the exception.

    Looks awesome, what cracks me up is that the 1st "feature" is officially licensed by Hasbro. I can't imagine that there's a single person who gives a crap about that. If it's awesome I don't care if it's 3rd party or a billion dollar conglomerate that's making it. Haha, if anything, for me personally if it came down to 2 competing products that were very close, I'd probably pick the one that wasn't made by Hasbro.

    I like it, but without the rest of the body I dont think I can use it. Would be great to have for Halloween for my kids.

    why won't they ever make helmet for other Transformers it's only Prime or BB. sick of it.

    Why No Megatron, Soundwave or Starscream helmets?

    So burned out with Prime.

    There's always a solution to that. Go to Home Depot, buy a plastic planter, cut out the space for your face:

    I need this to wear with the Optimus Prime bathrobe my family got me the other year. And to answer the door. “No, sorry, I’ve already found Primus, thanks anyway.” :D 


    Literally the first thing I thought. I want a little mid-electrocution/macguffin-transfer Buster and cables to display with it.

    Going to hold out till we get more proper photos of the actual item vs these 2 images. Also GS tends to have a lot of sales on collectibles so might be able to wait for one of those.

    Helmet looks and feels great! The voice does “sound” like Peter Cullen but may be the guy who does voice on new cartoons. Sounds like prime!!!

    So excited now for Megatron one!

    only drawback, and I’m splitting hairs, are 2 things.

    1) comes with head strap you snap in and has back of head tighten adjustment. This is great… but then you have it installed back flap of helmet will not close all the way I will display and this will NOT be an issue

    2) the helmet is HOT. Moisture from speaking and breathing makes it steamy in there BUT the eyes have not dogged up on me yet. Can’t wear glasses with it though. Rubber nose pad inside mask.

    Just got my Prime helmet too. Here are some more photos. Says the following phrases/sounds (in order):
    Greetings, I am Optimus Prime.
    So, we meet again.
    More than meets the eye.
    ‘Transformation sound’
    Transform and roll out!

    Lights in eyes turn off after 30 sec if the button is not pushed again. Sound is pretty good and sounds like Peter Cullen. I’m used to the crappy voice changers in Star Wars helmets. Quality is comparable to Hasbro Black Series helmets. Paint is good even if I’m not a fan of the faux edge wear, it’s not excessive. Overall, worth the $110 and the long wait. Not sure I’ll get Megatron though unless it looks like they’ll do a lot more characters.
