4.0 out of 5 stars
A very nice representation of Prime, 9 Aug 2009
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Transformers Revenge of The Fallen Voyager Optimus Prime (Toy)
Well, I personally did not want to fork out the money for the leader class Prime, and for a while I wasn't sold on this guy looking at the packaging, I bought it with reasonably low intentions as I was under a strong belief that the leaser would be the only good prime. Boy was I in for a treat.
In my mind, this figure is great! He has a very nice vehicle mode, some nice detail and his paint is rather nice, a little dark, but quite nice. My only complaint is the Autobot and Cybertronian symbol, however I don't see these as any major complaint.
In the instructions, he has a 'vehicle attack mode' which I feel is a little 'what can we cobble together to make it seem like we're giving them more' sort of a thing, his smokestacks and petrol/oil tanks rotate round and form guns with firing missiles that pertrude from the front of the truck. It's really nothing to bother about really, perhaps a nice little addition for kids, but nothing brilliant.
The robot mode is rather nice, he has good articulation and detail and seems a good representation of prime, perhaps a little more faithful to the flat torso of the early generation primes, and suits this nicely, the weapons are alright, nothing special, but nice nonetheless, however, this figure comes with a rather large but. He has a huge backpack, which is a little disappointing and being pinned to his back, isn't removable, it's huge. However, it can be folded down, rather than up behind his head which does look a lot better, but it is still there; some may view this as something which ruins the figure, I personally do not.
All in all, a nice figure and a nice Pirme, I'd really recommend picking this up if a fan of Optimus and a definate buy if you have any voyager Megatron figures, a nice toy for children too.
8/10
