Customer Reviews

You Have To Get One.
My mom bought me this figure for my birthday (which is today) and I love it. The Auto-Spin conversion is a very nice feature. He says two phrases in robot mode. He says "My Name is Optimus Prime" and "Bring it On". Sorry the Headmaster doesn't fit on him. I have been wanting this figure forever. Ever since I first saw pictures of the prototype online I couldn't wait to get one and I did. For an honest [...] bucks get one.

Overall great toy, some minor dissatisfaction
First off, I love this line of Animated transformers toys. Much more durable and easier to transform (fewer joints and pieces that fall off, IMO). They seem to be made with kids in mind, for a change.

The Optimus figure is cool enough. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the style of the semi that he turns into, but it's true to the animated series, so I can't fault the toy. Shelling out $50 for a toy, though, entitles me to gripe a bit about a couple of things that annoyed me:

1) within a day, his mouth plate stopped moving when you activate his sounds in robot mode. I replaced the batteries and find that I have to align the torso just right to get any wiggle at all out of his mouth, so my kid already says "he's broken".

2) The axe is cool and all, but it's heavy. I find his arm can only support the weight of it in one particular pose, or it gets all floppy and falls to his side.

3) it's pretty annoying to have to spin the torso half-a-dozen times to transform him into the truck. I understand the point was to make the truck-to-robot transformation cooler/easier, but it stinks going the other way.

A bit nit-picky, but again, you charge me $50 for a toy, and it better be right!

All-in-all, a nice, durable figure. MUCH easier to deal with than the Movie Optimus. These seem to be designed for kids to actually play with instead of just looking at them on a shelf.

Looking forward to the Ultra Magnus figure!

Roll Out Optimus Prime
Good toy but it is expensive for what you get. There are only 3 phrases, the transform sound, the diesel engine sound, battle sounds and the emergency siren sound that the toy makes, and for the price he should say more or be programable in some way. The "Hat" that has the red and blue lights in it is easy to knock off and when the toy is in "Vehicle" mode the front wheels dont stay "locked" in the correct place. Overall, My kid is very imaginative and he loves the toy despite the things I have mentioned above. He thinks it is cool just because It's Optimus Prime and it is probably the only Transformer that he can fully operate without "grown up" assistance due to the spin and transform feature.
