Still want the Takara prime though...

People said the same thing about ROTF Devastator and at least in my area the damn thing kept flying off the shelves...

In my area & the 20+local stores(walmart,target,tru,kmart) that I visit. ROTF Supreme Devestator as a major shelf warmer. their were literally pallets upon pallets of this toy that didn't sell.

stores in my area months/year later had to take drastic steps by doing a major clearance & selling the ROTF supreme devestator for under $30 just to get rid of it.

I didn't care for this toy. I bought & prefer the legends ROTF Devestator combiner better that walmart in america sold as a store exclusive.

trash

Makes me reminisce back to the good ole' days of Energon Optimus Prime.

I'd be able to afford this, but I just entered an auction for G2 Bruticus. Eh, it's probably better than this. I'm not upset at all.

Cool as the figure looks, do they expect us to pay $40-50 just for the trailer?? If it was a LEADER CLASS with trailer I was ready to pay $90 for it. Voyager $20 plus $50 for a trailer that serves ONE function???? I think I will pass till its $40. LOTR EE and Warriors Way here I come!!

Dammit! I want it now. I guess I was just looking at him wrong.
But I'll wait for it to go on sale at Christmas and ask someone to get it for me.

Just got this beast in today from Walmart.com and I dont care what you guy's think, this thing is F@#%in great!!! And the wife tried to hide him from me....hahahahahahahaaaaa...but really this toy is great. Once you get this thing in your groubie hands you'll know what I mean!!! My problem is im a MIB collector(some of the good one I open but not all) and I really, really, really want to take him out(and I know I might cause Im thinking about gettin another)but will wait....

That would drive me crazy being a MIB collector. I think I would if it was the Comic Con version of Ultimate OP

Transformers is my first love, but i collect other toys also and model kits(zoids and gundam) so room is my biggest problem

I just got my DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime delivered to me from Fedex a few minutes ago.

the toy comes in a huge box. the box measurements are 16 by 14 by 6 inches deep.

The trailer wings & pointed downward like a cape inside the box. this is probably how i'm going to be displaying this toy in combined robot mode. I'm not a fan of the angel/buterfly upward wings that are posed on the back of the box.

the toy inside the box comes already in combined super robot mode. with a beyond huge mech tech weapon on the right side of the robot inside the inner box.

I just measured the combined robot mode inside the box from head to toe & it measures exactly 12 & 1/2 inches tall.

the mech tech weapon is huge,I measured it & it measures around 8 & 1/2 inches long.

YEAH,THE combined robot mode has a super tiny pin/under sized/small robot head. which makes the whole thing look awkward.

THEIR is a outer helmet that is attached to the mech tech weapon. So i'm most likely going to un-screw the outer helmet & try to place it over the tiny robot head. hopefully I can get something decent looking & similar to the energon leader sized optimus primes combiner outer helmet.

In a couple of days,I'm going to be doing a few u-tube videos on this toy. mainly trying to show what other reviewers of this toy didn't yet.
(1)like how poseable the toy is in combined robot mode. (2) trying to un-screw the robot head outer helmet on the mech tech weapon. then placing the outer helmet on the tiny robot head & seeing if it fits into place without the mech tech weapon attached. (3)doing a few size comparisons with other TF toys in all 3 modes of this dotm toy.
(4) measuring the smaller non-combining ultimate optimus robot mode. and letting everyone know exactly how many inches tall the robot is from head to toe.
