I like it.

But that doesn't matter, because I buy ALL Optimus Prime molds.

If they ever made an Optimus Prime that transformed into a turd, I would have to buy it, as well.
Actually it might be interesting to display it together with the shoe.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???

Wow, where to start?

1. "Ultimate" means freaking Voyager class with a trailer? Call me when they make one for Leader class.
2. Fairy Princess Prime mode looks...off. It certainly doesn't look right.
3. The trailer deco leaves a lot to be desired - lots of plastic with a smudge of paint.
4. Fairy Princess Prime mode gives him one hell of a backpack.
5. Fairy Princess Prime mode makes him look like one hell of a shellformer.
6. I was hoping that maybe we'd get a battle station trailer. I'd sooner have the trailer be a brick than to be bot mode accessory.
7. Primes fists now come out of his grill? Boy does that look stupid.

Long story short: Thanks Hasbro! You just helped me decide on whether or not to get this figure. (Hint: the answer rhymes with "snot".)

WOW, nice lookin figure..most likely its a leader because of the light and sound.I may buy this if its on a sale. I noticed Prime's ankle doesnt have the wheel anymore. I guess thats a minus on movie accurate prime. I think I'll stick w/ my buster prime

Yey! How I've missed you, Superpants Prime!

Anyway, if it's $80, it'll be somewhere between £60-£100 (depending on just how optimistic Hasblo UK are) which is frankly too much for me for anything other than an MP size and quality TF. I do however oddly want it.

man, Stilts Prime was not the use of the trailer I was hoping for. I don't think his knees will bend, or his elbows in powerup mode. Also, they have cleverly hidden the wheels which are on his forearms, so the arms in powerup are going to be even more over the top. sigh. I like some of the molding, but just like ROTF powerup Prime, he will have one pose, standing...

by **soundwave1994** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:48 pm

ok here is my full opinion of the toy
1. the chest is better than the other one
2. the head is as good as its going to get
3. the arms are a cheap cop out they could have atleast found a way to hide the wheel arch somewhere and the same goes for the bumper so the arms dont look so stupid
4. i have no problem with what the trailer does to the arms and legs
5. it should have added to the chest and it should have had a base rather than those silly wings.they couldhave atleast allowed the wings to reduce in size by folding or detatching th form four different weapons
also the feet look riddiculus

Excuse me, but where does it say that the main bot is voyager size? if it is voyager size wouldn't that put him in the same size class as Energon and Cybertron Primes making the whole thing Leader class?

I expect the combined mode will be more in Unicron's size class.

I'd bet those top wings are supposed to go down and angled more. Nobody that isn't a fairy princess has wings like that. Very interesting. We'll see once some better pictures come out.

The resemblance to a moth is startling.

He looks really angular and even blocky. A lot of parts seem like they should fold in on themselves some more. He's almost certainly mistransformed, but to what extent?

The jetpack/armor doesn't resemble what we've seen. Perhaps Prime gets two?

by **Doubledealer93** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:51 pm

bad ass! dont like the regular bot mode though

by **gothsaurus** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:58 pm

I dub thee.... Mothtimus Prime!

by **meowshk** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:01 pm

I personally like the combined mode. I've seen worse and it's probably at least a little mistransformed. My one problem is the bars attaching the suit's legs to the backpack.

by **Ultra Markus** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:02 pm

its super ginrai!

by **Street-Convoy S0S** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:07 pm

So i guess this is what we all saw in the Superbowl ad? at the end of the trailer for Transformers DOTM. Prime flying and kicking ass on the ground.... hmmm?

by **BigBotPrime** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:09 pm

I'd give it a 7/10 I mean hasbro should hire the guys from Bandai who design PG Gundams to put their gundam knowledge designs into the Transformers movie design. (>_<);

by **LordOfAnnihilation** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:18 pm

I think they could do a lot better with this one. Optimus' legs are practically THE trailer. Don't Get me wrong, the trailer's great but I wish it broke up more. Voyager Megatron looks better!

The trailer seems huge(height) compared to the cab, may just be the pic though.

Definitely not an $80 toy(to me). It sounds like you may need this to make Prime combine with other bots though, so he may become a necessity.

by **SFTFAN** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:19 pm

NOTHING about this looks good or right! TOTAL EPIC FALE!

it looks NOTHING like the Prime from the recent superbowl movie trailer that flies in and kills three cons in one swoop....no huge jets on his back, instead just a flat pannel...what? is he supposed to flap those ferry wings to fly? no BFG at all...instead some pants and gloves to put on him?? just awful looking!

the only thing that looks remotely OK is the ALT mode...and even that is pretty poor and the scale of the trailer and the cab looks way off....the cab is tiny, the trailer is massive. suck.

this figure is so horrible looking that it has forced me to make my 2nd post in four years to express my displeasure!

BRING ON THE LASERBEAK FIGURE! (looking to be my only DOTM purchase...unless they botch it too)

What? NO! Hasbro PR NEVER makes mistakes in their pictures! They are teh genyuses! They don't even need directions...

...by the way, their PR department consists of two trained chimpanzees and a lemur.

So he is now Gundam X? Can he fire the solar laser? No, no, no, no.

:BANG_HEAD:

by **BATTOUSAIXD** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:30 pm

The robot and alt modes look good to me, but that power-up thing is terrible! It may just be mis-transformed though, or you can fix it to look pretty good to look like the Jetfire/Optimus from ROTF. I'll wait for more pictures, but not holding my breath. And if it really isn't leader class, I probably won't want it anyways. I really hope Megatron and Optimus do get leaders...

Well no wonder he rips it off. Looks like one of those cyber stompin things.
