Wow, looks like FE OP is as good as it's going to get! Glad I'm collecting TF Prime figures. Trying to finish up my movie collection, I don't need the added frustration and expense of the First Edition debacle.

I love how the reviewer states "I am not afraid to expose this TF on my shelf so long as it's the front part", hilarious! :))

Now the laugh factor aside what's not to laugh at is this new Prime...WTF?? Can someone confirm that his feet look white with no paint apps? It's bad enough that they chose to leave his hand weapon without paint apps but his feet, c'mon Takara!! They could have at least used the same paint that was used for his upper legs above the blue. #-o

And after considering this Prime over AM Prime it think it's pretty clear which I will pick up. I seriously think there is a perverted designer over there at HasTak with the pink-like nipples on AM Arcee and now the red pecker sticking out of Weaponizer Prime how couldn't there be...'nuff said! :VEHI:

What a piece of crap!

Hollow legs, Meh-tech ports and that stupid bloody cod piece weapon deployment knob. What the hell were Hasbro thinking?

Its obvious the budget was spent developing the gimmick rather than creating a decent toy.

Guess I'm somewhat the deviant as always, as I kind of like it.

As a Leader sized/priced toy, it definitely leaves a lot to be desired. It's not too hot compared to the FE one either, but I think we just have to face that for the most part nothing they produce now will be on the same level of quality we had with those toys. We've got new designers and a worse economy, so it's to be expected (not that I feel those factors justify how Hasbro's handled this line).

Compared to the newer Voyager, this one has a few advantages. Sure it looks a little sloppy from behind, but overall I think this one looks a lot cleaner than that toy, and the bigger figure is great for those who care about scale (not that I do in particular).

All in all, I think this one will be pretty good if you could score it for less than retail, or if we never get a better chance at the FE figures. I'll probably go for it should they also make a bigger Megatron.

I hate being positive.

Another example where the gimmick ruins the figure. Easy pass.

I can tell you that his feet are not white, what seems white due to my halogen light system is actually light shade of grey, for orientation I'll say it's the same kind of grey used on Voyager DOTM Megatron or Movie Camshaft, or Battle Blade Voyager Prime, for example.

I'll produce initial pictures of this toy on the same background soon if that will be useful to anyone.

Personally, I think kids will love it, and that's the bottom line. As a collector's item, yeah, it leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not meant to be a collector's item. As a toy for kids, it does exactly what it should: transforms fairly easily, looks good in both modes, and if it has a gimmick, it executes it well. The only hitch is the design of the lever, and that's not something most kids will get.

Thanks for the review. I think the robot mode looks pretty good. I was doubtful I would be getting an Optimus from this line because I have not liked the mold that much. This thing I could see displaying in bot mode though.

If you could that would be awesome man thanks! Is that same shade for the gun too? If so then I may reconsider getting this after all. :-?

Hmm. Well I can't say it's all terrible. It looks pretty great in both modes...from the front. The super-exposed robot kibble is pretty bad and that is one of the worst backpacks I've seen. But for what it is, a big, gimmicky kids' figure, it's pretty cool.
