(More customer reviews)Ok, let see, I opened my Optimus Prime and looked for positives and negatives right away.
The POSITIVES- This Optimus prime is huge! He comes in the biggest box we have seen in a while and has a great look as a semi truck. The first transform into the regular robot and battle station is cool. The figure is the first to feature a moving mouth plate even though on this incarnation of Transformers cartoon he dosent move it. The figure is very close to the same idea of the original optimus prime and the smoke stacks becoming a gun is a innovative idea. The base transforming on its own is fun to watch and its very functional with a great deal of room for lots of Mini-cons. The sound effects are interesting and his Mini-con Sparkplug is the coolest so far.
The NEGATIVES-The main problem with the figure in regular robot mode is that it looks like hasbro was trying to save money, because there is a lack of joints in his legs. The actual posablity is non-existant. Plus Optimus dosent stand well in his own transforming base.
Then we have the Super robot mode. Oh boy, what were they thinking with this. The super mode dosent stand well. If the figure is on a counter top with smooth surface, he tends to start to fall from his weight. The cab that triggers the auto transform of his base, dosent fit easily onto the newly transformed legs in fact if played with in a regular fashion. It can fall apart, and possibly hitting the ground making it dangerous for children.
The arms on super mode dont go much past his mid section which makes the fact that he has a gun pointless since if it were real he would shoot his feet. The face of the super robot mode on Optimus Prime looks nothing like Optimus, and is down right ugly. Even though its the only poseable thing on the super mode, which in fact isnt super at all.
Lastly, its very hard to get the thing back to vehicle mode after you acheive super robot because the signal from the cab dosent seem to give the right signal when you want it to.
The prior Optimus Prime from Transformers:Robots in Disguise is superior to this one in both modes and is more fun to play with. Plus you can pose all the modes on that, even when merged with Ultra Magnus. Back to the drawing board guys, Optimus Prime is supposed to be the best of them all. Make him that way!

The wise and courageous leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, fights to defend the earth and all its creatures from Megatron. Now this brave and determined leader takes the form of a semi-truck with electronic lights, sounds, projectiles, ramps and Mini-Con stations. When the front of the cab transforms into a robot, the trailer automatically becomes a huge Super Base. Combine the base and the robot to make the ultimate super Transformer. Measures approximately 12 inches long. Requires 2 "AA" alkaline batteries (not included). May vary slightly from image shown.
