From the Manufacturer
With the destruction of MEGATRON, OPTIMUS PRIME thought that he was finally, after millions of years, at peace. Little did he know that the escape of STARSCREAM would draw dozens of new DECEPTICONS to Earth. The desire that burns brightest in his Spark is that the war will soon end. He is determined to see that end come, and so he works with his human comrades and the other AUTOBOTS to hunt the DECEPTICONS that have come to Earth, and destroy them, one by one. Prepare for battle with this AUTOBOT leader by your side! In robot mode, this mighty warrior features electronic speech and light-up eyes and chest that are sure to discourage enemy attackers! With snap-out energy swords, this good guy is ready to take on DECEPTICON forces once and for all! In tough truck mode, get in gear with engine revving and racing sounds and cool conversion sounds that let you know this hero means business! MECH ALIVE gearing reveals moving armor panels and internal gears that let you recreate some of your favorite movie scenes ¿ or create your own!

Amazing....
i pre-ordered this toy like, two weeks back, it looked like it was going to be the best in the toy line. And I'm pretty sure it IS! This toy is (as the title suggests) AMAZING! I really like the flip out blade feature. unlike most transformer toys not a whole lot actually pops off. Once in a great while the foot will fall off, but it's not at all often. I got several from the new toy line and and from the 2007 movie line, and this is the best figure I own, hands down! The transformation is tricky to say the least (I spent two hours trying to get it to truck mode) but once you do it a couple times it gets easier. It really is a battle ready toy as well, It is sturdy and easy to pose. And unlike some where you have one pose and a kid couldn't really play with it, this one is perfect for that! Especially if you have Leader class Megatron! Anyway, overall an AMAZING toy!!

" I AM OPTIMUS PRIME" this a work of art folks !
Just got my Revenge of the fallen Optimus prime today on my lunch hour.
when i first saw spy pics on this version of prime..you really couldnt see the detail..now that i have him sitting on my desk..it was WORTH the wait! he was always my favorite transformer.

this Transformers 2 version is far superior than the first movie's Prime(its still a great depiction though).. when you look at this one you'll see right away that its Optimus . Its virtually cg accurate to his screen self. its the real deal.

The quality is incredible..it ranks right up there with the masterpiece Optimus Prime(which i have standing next to this one )

the plastic is more durable...he feels "solid" and well built...but i still wouldnt let little 5 yr old johnny, play with this unless he has an engineering degree. cause some parts can be fragile during transformation. these are made with the collectors in mind, and rightfully so. if you were around during the generation one era you know what im talking about. i got 2 of these one thats staying sealed in the box and the other is for display.

the paint job is more movie accurate. its also great that he has an autobot symbol on his chest.. i like the swords that come out for battle, but i wish they would at least have given him his trademark blaster rifle though..but this works also.

the moving gears feature is also a unique addition..you can tell that alot of thought was put into this Prime. takara/hasbro has a winner here ...no wonder hes flying off the shelves.

the icing on the cake is that they incorporated actor Peter Cullen's voice too! for the sound bite saying "I am Optimus prime!" when you press the "try me" button...you press it his eyes flash, chest rises and lights up as he introduces himself in his majestic/regal voice. that we all know and love.

for you non gen one fans..Peter cullen was the voice of Prime in the marvel/sunbow Transformers animated series...whis is really the only REAL transformers series period. they made a wise move in getting him to reprise prime for the films.

i cant say enough good things about this autobot ... if you get only one transformer from the Revenge of the Fallen line...this is the one to get. you wont regret it.

pros: peter cullens voice (nobody else can play prime)
Movie accurate in robot and semi truck modes
pretty good articulation/ excellent attention to detail
Packaging is better this time around

cons: well only one..no rubber "Desert Dog" tires.

Autobots, transform and ROLL OUT !

A True Work Of Art
I've been collecting transformers since I was a kid and if there's one thing I've ALWAYS hated about the toys up until now, it's that the product never accurately matched up with the character on the screen. Now, keep in mind that back in my day, things like what we see in CGI films like Transformers weren't at all possible...but Takara Tomy finally broke that depressing streak with THIS figure. This has got to be the most impressive example of planning upon planning for a perfected design that features an extremely complex transformation (at first)- but after the first few times you get the steps down pretty easily (only took me a few days). If you compare the 2007 model/version of this figure to the newly redesigned 09' model- you'll see a SIGNIFICANT difference in character comparison. This IS Optimus Prime, not just some inaccurate toy, it's so close to the CGI character that I don't see any mistakes in the design- if anything it's PERFECT. Every detail matches up with the CGI design so well that it's just AWSOME! The toy is durable, AND when you transform it, parts don't rub against each other and mess up the paint job- which i know some perfectionist collectors ABSOLUTELY hate. Buy this figure, because I honestly don't think you'll ever find another TF product this close to character/toy accuracy! BUT, i will say this- if you're a real collector and you want character/toy accuracy...go with the Takara Tomy version instead of the Hasbro version. The Takara Tomy version's name is RA-01 Optimus Prime and you can find him on the web in plenty of online stores. Get that version, because if you look closely you'll see that it's paintjob is actually correct while Hasbro's model has some of it's parts painted red instead of silver- don't settle for that lol. Mkay, well- happy hunting and have fun with this product!
