- A new twist to the old concept
Lots of fun for my 9 year old son. I am impressed with all the detailed transformation. The parts are well seamed together. Though this model is more stylish it may not be as tough as the previous Optimus. All round it is still a good toy.

- Impressive!
Bought this for my 3 1/2 year old for Christmas and he really likes it. He isn't able to transform it yet on his own so do not buy it for a child under 8 unless you enjoy doing the transforming! It is sturdy and amazingly detailed though. Very impressive engineering! Well worth the money.

- Child's play
I purchased this toy for my 4-year-old godson, and he absolutely adores it! Everytime I've called for the past several weeks he has been playing with his transformer. He tells me that it was his favorite Christmas gift, and his mother says that it is the only toy he wants to take everywhere he goes. He is most entertained by the many things that the transformer can do. I tried to purchase the toy from Wal-mart and other websites right before Christmas, but they were all sold out. I appreciate [...] for having the right item when I needed it. Thanks!

- Pretty good version of Optimus Prime
This toy version of Optimus Prime is pretty good. The way his legs transformer I would say is the most similar to the way they are formed in the movie, and the color over-all looks like Movie Optimus Prime. The removeable gun that rotates onto his hand is a nice touch, even if it doesn't look like the gun he used in the movie. He even has poseable fingers, which are a nice touch.

A few things that bother me about this toy, is that Primes proportions seem distorted. He seems short and chunky, which he wasn't in the movie. Especially his legs have a lot of "kipple" on them which make them fatter and hard to pose. IN fact over-all this toy isn't as poseable as the Voyager Optimus Prime that came out for the movie. Also the rear wheels of the truck end up in an awkward position, kind of sticking out behind the legs, when in robot mode.

Another thing that is a little bothersome is the lights and sound gimick they put into this toy. While it isn't that impressive, it also doesn't detract from the toy at all. I only which they would have used the "transformation sound" from the movie or cartoons as the sound effect rather than the "whooshing" sound that they ended up using, which has no reference to the character.

Over-all this toy is well made, and transforms fairly easily compared to the rest of the movie toys. He looks pretty good and his truck mode is solid. I would recommend this toy to anyone who likes Transformers

This toy is pretty awesome! It was a gift for my three year old nephew. It is a little advanced for him. It is fine if its transformed into the figurine or the truck but he is not able to transform it. This toy would be ideal for a five year old and up to someone who collects. It was definetly worth the money though. Seems very sturdy.
