LOL

I definately pay this much or around for a HA Prime, especially if it came with a trailer.

I'm glad I have seen these videos, because now I know for sure that I will NOT be buying this thing.

You did it Hasbro! You finally did it! You 100% RUINED Optimus Prime! The new voyager was close with its heat shield panels and giant gas tanks, and the Battle Blades repaint with the night sky all over it, but this takes the cake. This is a complete joke. I haven't even seen anything like the combined mode here in the previews. What we've seen from the movie looked like the TakaraTOMY leader Jetwing Prime.

These are the times where I think Hasbro is better off leaving Transformers to TOMY in Europe and North America.

I am not even sure Prime has this mode in the film...

(thanks for the review though, it was at least interesting to see)

I completely agree. I am not sure what to think.

If the trailer does this in the movie, it may tip the boat.

wow! He's not bad!
Size wise, he's Freak'n massive!
Love giant bots, cant get enough!

Baaaaaaaaaaaaw!

They did the best they could. Getting a trailer to transform into a screen-accurate jetpack is impossible. Jetwing is for the jetpack, this is more for the trailer.

That's a matter of scale. If you want a Leader OP that is in a reasonable scale with Leader Sentinel Prime and the new DOTM Voyager Ironhide in both vehicle and robot modes, DOTM Ultimate OP is the best choice:

In both modes he is smaller than Sentinel Prime without the trailer, and bigger than him with the trailer/battle suit.

Very well done Hasbro !

Of course it still has its flaws, but no TF toy is perfect. I personally think that the robot-mode is unbalanced when OP is not wearing the suit, his BFG looks horrible (2 separate weapons would be nicer) and nulls most of the articulation that is left in the combined-mode, and it seems that the trailer is not silver painted (what is inexcusable for such expensive toy).

Anyway, I can't imagine myself collecting DOTM and not getting him.

I really wish there were just add-ons you could buy for the ROTF mold, or that they made this guy decent. This is definetly a clearance/ebay item.

I think that's a good job for 3rd-party companies. Unfortunately, most of them aren't interested yet in upgrades for movieverse toys

It's called Jetwing Optimus Prime.
