- Awesome!
Awesome!! My husband loved this more than anything I have ever given him--even my virginity or my hand in marriage or for that matter our beautiful baby girl.

- Poor product
On Christmas eve, the toy package was opened. The plastic cover was torn down to get the transformer out. My grandson was very happy to see the toy. But one foot came loose. It was never stayed intact. Whever transformation was performed, the part kept loose. My grandson totally was dismayed. I could not return it, because the package was not in original condition as Amazon's return policy requires.

- My grandson loves it
I know this is supposed to be a collector's item but my grandson thinks it's the best Christmas gift ever. He couldn't wait to get it away from his father. He didn't care about the history, or the voice, or if the stacks were shorter than they should have been. He's 4 1/2 years old and can sing the whole Transformers song. Optimus Prime is his current hero and he absolutely loves this toy. His first comment...after he finally got it away from his father, was "This is heavy". I think it will stand the test of time and a child's abuse :)

- Not the best version
Between Hasbro's 20th anniversary edition and Takara's version, the Takara version wins in terms of quality. First off, Hasbro shortened the smoke stacks to comply with toy safety laws. Second, paint. The colors on this 20th anniversary edition are bright red (almost orange) and matte blue, as opposed to Takara's metallic red and metallic blue. The Takara Optimus' smoke stacks, grill, and gas tanks are chrome, whereas Hasbro's Optimus are a matte painted gray. The Takara Optimus' eyes are reflective blue, whereas Hasbro's are painted blue. The Takara Optimus' feet have a clear plastic over the lights, Hasbro's version has the lights painted over. The gun for Takara's Optimus is gray, the gun for Hasbro's is bright blue. There are a couple other differences, but you get the point: Takara's version is of higher quality. But don't me wrong, since it is still the same mold, it still is a fun toy and an awesome piece for kids or the casual collector.

The absolute must-have for Transformers collectors is not this version, but Takara's Masterpiece Optimus Prime... with trailer!

- The best Optimus Prime you can buy and display.
I have the original and even with its sentimental value this thing takes the cake in awesomeness. It is HUGE 14 inches+ and is very well made compared to today's standards. I am amazed at how many ways you can pose him and the accessories of Megatron, his Axe and the matrix are welcomed additions. It really looks great displayed with all my original G1 figures. If you are a Transformers fan and like to show a little bit of your nerdy side then this is the figure for you!!!

When finally manage to break prime from his million straps that hold him into the box. You will notice he has fingers and joints with pistons and the detail is just amazing I am serious when I say how proud I am of the work and design they did on this figure it is really well made and thought out. I won't transform him just leave him posed in his robot greatness.
