| Good transformer 2010-08-06 |
| By Amazon Dude |
| It is a very difficult to transform the first few times. After you got it down, it is a real fun toy. Real realistic to the movies. |
 Shame on Amazon! 2010-08-05 |

| this was an absolutely gorgeous toy!i got it when it was still 33.95!The blades are a small issue because of articulation being hindered by them.i knew how to remove them, but because it was probably used one of the screws that needed to be removed was completely stripped out of box! luckily we found a store that removed the stripped screw and had new ones.But the toy is wonderfully detailed, lots of fun good sounds.Although i must warn you, the transformation is HARD!!!don't say it is misleading with the age 5+ sign, that is the choking safety sign! at the top right corner it says level 4 transformation witch is the highest level. for difficulty, I'd say 10+.when u learn it it is easy.I learned amazon may be cheaper, but it is safer to buy from Hasbro.if u are the type of parents who are not very good at this type of thing, and u buy it for a five-year-old,u will both be in tears. it is only bad if it is the wrongs parents buying for the wrong kids. |
| The coolest toy/puzzle I have ever owned. Not for impatient kids. 2010-07-27 |
| By sarumandali |
I was never much of a Transformers fan before the first 2007 movie. When I was a kid, I thought the toys were cool but I never owned any. I've bought most of the Leader Class Transformers from both movies and while I very much like the design of all of them (with the exception of Megatron) this version of Optimus is by far the most complex and awesome toy of the bunch. Other reviewers have stated that this is definitely not a toy for 5 year olds. They are correct. I would say the youngest child to actually figure this thing out would have to be around 12 or so. It's just way to complex for most people in general much less little children.
It's best to approach this toy (pretty much all of the Leader Class versions) as if it were an expensive puzzle that you didn't want to break. If you are the impatient type, don't bother. If you have clumsy sausage fingers don't bother either! Considering how complex this toy is, I think it's fair to say that it is very durable. You just have to use some care and think about what's going to happen before you go ripping his arm off. Slow, deliberate movements are what's needed the first few times you change him from robot to truck and then back again. As one person had stated in a previous review, once you have successfully transformed him a few times, it's waaaaay easier to do it again. The same can be said for the other leader class models as well. (Brawl and Ultimate Bumblebee are particularly difficult.) I have deliberately taken several hours to transform all off the transformers I own to avoid breaking them. It paid off. With this version of Optimus (I actually have the "Buster" version. It's the same toy, with the exception of having lots of nice shiny chrome and the added bonus of gigantic cannon that he holds in his right hand.) I spent probably 5 hours transforming him from robot to truck on the first go around. After that, I could do it in less than ten minutes.
Other reviewers have complained about the instructions. They're right when they say they pretty much suck, but they do help. This is a toy that will make you think. I'll be the first to admit that after an hour or so of staring at a series of black & white drawings you may start to think you're never going to get it transformed, but don't give up. Once you've figured it out, you will be quite pleased with yourself! You may also gain an entirely new appreciation of the engineering of this toy. It's truly a work of art. My hat goes off to all the people responsible for creating the most movie realistic version of the mighty Optimus ever made.
The most difficult part of the process for me was transforming his chest area to the truck mode. You actually have to pull each side of his chest out of the slots that they ride in. Once I had figured out what I actually had to do I was terrified that I was going to break it, but I didn't.
Another complaint I've read is the positioning of his extendable swords in robot mode interfering with his movement and posing of his arms. At first it seemed impossible for me to arrange him so that he could still move his arms around when the swords were in their closed position. However, it wasn't. Just be patient, and there actually is a "sweet spot" for both arms to have almost total articulation whether the swords are closed or open. Overall, this character is very posable. Most of the images I've seen of this character don't come close to how cool you can make his stance. Standing bolt upright looks completely dumb!
I wouldn't recommend this toy for daily use either. Its best market is probably for collectors, only to be transformed once in awhile and displayed on a shelf to admire its beauty, accuracy and complexity. I love the commercials that Hasbro had running for these toys. They are completely misleading on how long it takes to change them around. Also, you wouldn't want to be playing with any of these toys in a dirt pile after you dropped almost $50 on it!
Bottom line, it's a great toy for the price but don't give it your 5 year old. If you do purchase it, remember to take your time and just enjoy yourself. It really is a puzzle to be figured out. |
| Best of the best if you pay attention to what you buy!!! 2010-07-21 |
| By Guillermo Loayza |
Transformers is a well established multigenerational franchise. It appeals to fans and collectors way back from the original 80s merchandise to the modern and contemporary concepts introduced with the latest Michael Bay's movies. This means customers targeting goes from toys designed for small children, all the way up to thirty somethings adult collectors. This Optimus Prime is intended for the last.
To be honest, the design of it is not as complex as some reviewers had tried to point out. Their problem may reside in if they purchased this product for the right targeted age. True, there is also another version of this product labeled on its packaging as suitable for 5 & up years old. But this, obviously, is intended for parents that wants to encourage their children with challenging toys that require a higher degree of care and patience. The fun factor of this kind of product comes not from the time spent playing with it as a toy or action figure, but instead from the time and challenge it requires to transform it from one mode to the other and back. So, as some reviewer compared it to a rubick cube, the fun of it is in the challenge and the satisfaction of acomplishment you get when succedding at the end.
For its complexity and attention to detail, to this day, this might be the more accurate and detailed version of movie Optimus Prime. Very well assembled. High quality materials.
Also, this Buster Prime version has chrome painting and details not found on the regular version, such as a gas tanks that combine to transform in to a gun.
Very recommended for any collector and to any parent that wants to encourage their children to new degrees of patience and challenge. |
| Optimus Prime Rules! 2010-07-21 |
| By MOLLY SILVIA FERNANDES |
My son has written this review:
This Optimus Prime is awesome! The features for this toy are lights and sounds and a
voice recording of Peter Cullen saying "I am Optimus Prime!".It also includes Mech Alive moving parts and orange blades which pop out when buttons are pressed.It's very thin and detailed compared to the first movie's Prime. The problem with it are that the toy is a little difficult to transform at first,but as you practice a little,you get the hang of it.But if you are trying to pick one of the three Leaders,get this one.
Overall this is a great toy.
