Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
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 armour panels and internal gears that let you recreate some of your favourite movie scenes--or create your own. Team up with this awesome ally and roll out.

This Optimus prime is very faithful to the 07 movie Optimus who appeared on screen in terms of looks and transformation. This toy has three sound features, one is in robot mode, Optimus saying, "I am Optimus prime" two is the classic transformation sound, three is truck sounds when pressing the button on the back of the cab mode.
Articulation is good, as you can see from the pictures, he has two blades one on each arm, they can be flipped up to be stored behind his arms thou they tend to get blocked by parts that make up his truck mode.
Transforming, this isn't for a rookie, it's pretty hard and the instructions aren't that clear because their done in 2D so they tend to be confusing, get stuck, YouTube it for help there's plenty of videos out there to help. I would rank him as a class 5 instead of Hasbro's rating system that rates legend class figures with the simplest transformations at 2, because of the complexity of his transformation
Truck mode, is only slightly larger than the 07 leader class toy but looks impressive.
I do recommend this toy for older children, for younger ones, adult help maybe required when transforming. The voice feature tends to get a little annoying during transformation due to how the head is designed to fit into vehicle mode so I recommend taking the batteries out.
Overall score 9/10 (voice gets on my nerves during transforming)

I'm no child but I love transformers, always have. I cant imagine the time it takes to design these incredible toys and most of em are technically brilliant and loads of fun, unfortunately I have to say I feel very let-down by this model. In robot mode, its excellent, truly excellent. Very pose-able and I guess it looks authentic. As a Truck, Its also very very nice indeed. The light and sounds are a nice extra which do add to the experience, But! Transforming it was an absolutely horrendous experience. The instructions given with transformers are never very clear but for this one I just gave up and tried to work it out myself which was a nightmare. For some reason some of the parts don't properly fit giving a springy feel, tucking the head into the engine compartment just didn't seem to work and I felt like I was constantly gonna break it. My 2 stars don't relate to the toy in general but the fact that it is supposed to be a transformer and transforming it is not something a child would be able to do without considerable help, put it this way, like I said I'm no child and have loads of these stored away in various boxes so I'm not new to the toys but its just taken me 4 hours (including breaks for coffee and periodic swearing) to convert it from the default robot form to the truck. Just be careful if you're buying it for a child. The box states ages 5+ but i would suggest the minimum age for this would be teenager and a very patient one at that.

Seems despite the figure from the first movie being pretty damn good, even Hasbro themselves felt like they could do better the second time round and they were right. I can't believe how much improved in accuracy this figure is. It's slightly bigger too and more posable with much less truck parts hanging off his back. Just overall much tidier and looks great. The truck mode too is an improvement looking far more seamless and even has the back of the truck done too.
Transformation to truck form is a little complex and there was only one bit I struggled with but I soon got the hang of it and have no problem whatsoever.
Lights and sounds are fun and it's nice to see his proper voice announce his name in robot form. Another great feature is that the figure combines with Leader Class Jetfire where Jetfire sorta becomes body armor/jetpak to Prime and makes the figure even more huge.
This is simply the most impressed I've ever been with a Transformers figure and it's worth every penny I paid.
Oh yeah, ignore the photo of the figure at the top. Hasbro's figure photography once again making the figure look far worse than it is and mistransformed.
The only things better on the 2007 model are that it had articulated fingers and rubber tyres. Everything else is far far better on this figure and it's easily by far the best Transformers figure I've owned since the series began in the 80's.

Takes ages to transform!
My husband spent the best part of Christmas day transforming this from a robot to the lorry! It is VERY fiddly. My son (5) was thrilled with it though!
