Product Description

From the Manufacturer

When he first became leader of the AUTOBOTS , OPTIMUS PRIME was not certain he wanted the responsibility. The war with the DECEPTICONS was going badly, and it looked like there was no end in sight. He vowed to himself and to the warriors under his command that he would never surrender, never retreat, and never stop fighting until the DECEPTICONS were defeated.

This review is from: Transformers Generations Level:4 Optimus Prime (Toy)

First off, he's not from the Movie toy line. He's from the Generations line (War for Cybertron subcategory), a new line coming out this year. Below are the pros and cons for this figure.

-Pros
- Extremely durable, he won't break easily. (Some have reported breakage problems, but I haven't experienced any such problems. After numerous transformations and poses I haven't had a single problem.)
- As with Bumblebee, his Robot mode is very accurate to his in game counterpart.
- Minimal kibble (excess hanging off his back)
- Gun can change from his Ion Blaster (rifle) to a cannon that can be set on the back of his car for storage and vehicle display.
- Vehicle mode rolls well, and stays together well. A sturdy alt mode, similar in look to his War Within design.

-Cons
- First few transformations are a bit daunting.
- More complicated than Bumblebee, but nowhere near as tough as the ROTF line.
- Kids will have a hard time with him, I'd recommend this for collectors.

Well, that's my take on the figure. He's highly durable, accurate, and just a great figure. However his transformation difficulty may make it a better choice to keep it as a collectors item than giving it to a child. I can't recommend him enough, he's truly a fantastic figure. Hope this helps someone out.

This review is from: Transformers Generations Level:4 Optimus Prime (Toy)

It's true this isn't the most durable Transformer I own but its by far my favorite. The transformation is incredibly simple with practice. It's difficulty at first is partially due to confusing instructions. He's not as durable as I'd hoped. But he'll survive sitting on my shelf and being transformed occasionally. I would not recommend this for a 5 year old. 10 or older.

This review is from: Transformers Generations Level:4 Optimus Prime (Toy)

The newest incarnation of Optimus Prime is most certainly one of the best. It does have a few panels that are part of the transformation, but the rest is truly complex enough for at least a voyager class figure. The joints hold up better than the Cybertronian Bumblebee that was also recently released, and though some panels seem a little flimsy, they hold up to most stress you put them through. I highly recommend this to anyone who collects Transformers, and especially anyone who collects Optimus Prime.
