    Great review!

    Peaugh can you do more close ups when filming?

    So much detail is missed.

    I really noticed this in the head mod video.

    Right right, c'mon P, get that slow turning mirror rotisserie and a laser pointer! Hook it up!

    Thanks for your reviews and a great camera btw.

    Definitely my favorite of the DOTM OP just cuz his bot mode looks the best. No gorilla arms (I'd take the backpack over massive forearms any day) and the torso looks more accurate than the voyager class without it being "faked". If only they found a way to make one awesome DoTM OP instead of three "OK" ones.

    All new mold? Transformation similar to Cyberverse Prime? AUTOMORPH? SOLD I'm buying this! Hey peaugh can you take action shots of him? Also, do the mech tech weapons still function if you remove the springs? Wondering if it's like TF1 leader megatron where his gun stays open if you remove the spring.

    Yes, they stay open if you remove the springs.

    Another awesome review Peaugh. I love how easy he is to transform compared to some other TFs his size. BTW, how solid does he feel? I usually avoid deluxes (especially Bayverse) because they feel so flimsy sometimes.

    This new OP will be perfect for kids wanting a cheap yet good looking Prime.

    Ooh, I didn't notice before but even Megatron's feet look like Prime's now. They will probably be closer to the same height in the film but they look pretty all right to me. If it's not too much trouble, a pic of their vehicle modes would be outstanding.

    Thank you for the picture comparison. Prime definitely looks too small in comparison to Voyager Megs. I might still get him, but if I do, I'll be kitbashing a Deluxe class Megs to go with him (or who knows, maybe we'll be getting a Deluxe Megatron at some point, lol).

    Nice Review. That is by far the worst Optimus prime figure so fare to come out of the Movie lines! :thumbdown

    I wouldn't say that. The '07 Voyager mold was pretty bad.

    I like this version, but I won't buy him. His transformation is cool though.

    07 was great for it's time and even now imho, isn't a bad toy. The rifle backpack combo was cool

    Does anyone know what wave this figure is in? Or when I can expect to find it in stores?

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that this will be a Wal-Mart exclusive. Any truth to that?

    He is out at Wal-Mart, and I keep thinking of him. I keep thinking of a Nemesis Prime-type figure when I see him. I don't like his MechTech gun, though.
