I am soooooooooooo happy to have gotten this figure. Was near the top of my list. I should have gotten it sooner. Holey shiznit, this... work of ART is IN-CRE-DI-BLE!!! If you don't like the movie verse, the designs, Autobots, etc., DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THOSE THINGS!!! As the Plastic Addict has said, Transformers is the sum of 3 things in a toy: A vehicle, an action figure and a puzzle. Optimus Prime has a beautiful Alt Mode. His robot form is magnificently detailed. And the transformation, while a teeny bit tedious, is just plain fun once you learn the tricks. This is THE ULTIMATE Optimus Prime toy. Better than anything!! Everyone, and I MEAN... EVERYONE... must buy this toy. Save up money. Get it. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! So, as for the fan club, I call the spot of President!!
That's some nice hyperbole but you could have probably posted this on the review thread for this toy. I agree with you that it's a great toy, but I can't say for sure he's the best Prime yet. I DO think that most anyone, weather they like the movie look or not, should have this toy.
But I bought it because I LOVE the movie! Damn, I even bought Leader Megatron. The first two TF figures I ever have. Hopefully I won't buy any other, because, to me, all the other figures suck. I don't get the hype over Bumblebee, because I haven't found a decent one. Hasbro/Takara need to get the feet right. Optimus on the other hand is one great movie figure. I collect movie figures by the way. 1/6 scale ones. The only thing I don't like about Leader Primes is its back being so bulky, and its butt being literally neglected (no design, no gimmicks, no panel, nothing).
Awesome figure , but there's only somethings I want. 1. Waist Articulation 2. Hand Articulation 3. Rubber wheels 4. More Head articulation. THEN after that It's a PERFECT ROTF Prime.
allow me to complete that list, Razorwing. 01. better paint job 02. head needs to be 5% bigger 03. forearm needs to be redesigned so that it's more movie-accurate 04. back is still too bulky 05. nothing on its butt, there should be some panels. 06. armor on its biceps need to be a bit longer and curved on its edges 07. pelvis area needs to be a bit narrower 08. legs need to be a bit longer 09. LED for the eyes need to be in blue color 10. tires a tad too big. I'm sure those toy designer working in Hasbro/Takara can figure out a way to implement all these changes. But I'm sure they're going to do that for the 3rd movie. That way, they can cash in first with the current Leader Prime. I'm sorry, no offense here man. But I buy figures for its form and its design. And what I see in HA Bumblebee is a figure that's missing two eyes, a greatly dumb-ed down leg and arm design, and its feet doesn't look strong enough to carry the weight of the body.
I completely agree! First time I tf'ed him I thought "there's no way I'd give this to a nine year old!" Personally I was blown away at how complex he is, totally loved it!
