- My son loves this toy...He's so proud to have it.
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!

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

- Repaints... Rollout!
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.

- Blue paint scheme is awesome
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.
