This Optimus Prime (Leader Class) figure standing at an awesome 13 inches tall, now infused with power from the Allspark, can go into stealth mode - hence the new colors. A more sneaky version of the Autobots head honcho it's really just a repaint of the first Leader Class model.

The detail on this toy is impressive - from realistic rubber tires to individually moving fingers. Truck mode even has a working horn and cab lights. There are not as many flames as the original version (which could be a good thing) but the nighttime blue look really adds a whole different attitude to Optimus.

The transformation process is challenging but not impossible as every part has a logical place to go. This version of Prime sports the automorph action (which basically is an automatic finish to the transformation into robot mode) with working lights. Unlike many Transformer figures both the vehicle and the robot modes are top notch. I can't decide which form to display this guy in because they are both so cool!

I have transformed countless robots in my lifetime but I have to say this is one the best quality Transformers I've seen. Nightwatch Optimus Prime is a great toy and one of the few 40 dollar figures you will find that is actually worth the cash.

This is the same figure as the first prime but with the dark blue paint scheme. This figure looks much better than the first prime. The first prime although original, the red, white, and silver paint just didn't look that good and the legs look very bulky. A week before the movie came out in the theaters I saw 30+ primes at Toys R Us and Target, of course they were all sold out during next few days. I didnt buy it because it just didnt look that good.

Then I saw this few days ago at Target and it looks really good so I got it. It's well built and huge.

By the way I saw the masterpiece version of Megatron at a toy store(Bandai Japanese version, I dont think it's released in USA due to the GUN design issue. It's huge and made of all plastic like this prime and the shop wanted $150 which is rip. If they release here for $40 I would get it.

I will start off by saying 2words,KICK-ASS!!!!!!This Optimus Prime is just a sweet figure all around.I love the stealth paint job.The detail is awesome and the new paint job just makes Optimus look so much more bad-ass it's out of this world.Optimus is very poseable&durable for playing out movie scenes or just having him displayed somewhere.The electronic sounds for when he talks and is in vechicle mode are very sweet also.The transformation may be a little difficult for a child of 5 or younger.I myself had no problem transforming Optimus back&forth myself.Overall This Optimus Prime is a very well made,durable,highly detailed,awesome figure.Also his gun does store easily on his hand in robot mode and on the back behind the cab part in truck mode.I highly recommend this Optimus figure to any transformer fan out there.Transformers Rule!!!!!!!

My son 10 year old son practically begged me for this Transformer. He was struggling with 5th grade math this year and I used this toy as an incentive to get him to bring up his math grade. It worked perfectly. I surprised him with it one day and you would have thought he was on cloud nine. He has it sitting on his dresser in his room. He is mighty proud of it.
You must be careful not to handle this toy to rough. It could be broken quite easily if forced into the wrong position. My son got frustrated transforming it the first couple of times but now he has it downpat!

This is a fun toy! Easy to change from truck to robot to truck. Not recommended for little kids 6 and under.

This is a great repaint of optimus prime. People has always love the original blue-red optimus prime because this is the original one, i think that it looks great too. This one is also a great piece green-gray colors, it looks very nice.

I have this toy and also brawl desert storm, that is another repaint, they are almost same height, but brawl is so much robust than optimus prime.

The only problem i think it has or maybe the only thing i would change is the automots insignia, i would like to see a more detailed insignia maybe in some other point of his body, but this is just an idea.

Im looking forward for the new movie and the new toys that release with it, hopefully can have the constructicons and devastator as well!!!

My son loved this toy when he first got it. It is fascinating that they came up with these things that transform, but the novelty wears off pretty quickly. I don't think my son has touched it since a week after he got it.
