How can you say the blue is too dark? I think it's too light.

More playability with brickformer Megatron? Prime can look in every direction: forward, up, down, sideways and Meg can only look forward and up. Prime has articulation all over the place and Meg is missing an elbow. I had to do hours of work on Megatron just make it so I could bare to look at him!

I was fortunate enough to be sent the Hasbro version of this figure yesterday from America as a birthday present by my parent-in-laws (knew I was marrying into the right family).

I was thinking of getting this guy, or rather the Buster version, but less because I was interested in him but more for combining when I get Jetfire, and because everyone here rated him so much.

I was pleasantly surprised. I think his transformation is complex but satisfying rather than annoying, his truck mode is deliciously solid and his swords are nice. The lack of a cannon is a downside, but for a character I don't really care about it's a great figure.

He does seem very playable and fun...

I think RoTF OP is a really great figure in just about every way except for some of the previously represented points. Everyone has their opinion though, and that is alright by me.

ROTF Leader Optimus Prime: 2009 Transformer of the year. By far.

The transformation is way too complex for me. And those chest pieces worry the Pit out of me. The swords get in the way when folded back-and for some poses, they work better folded back.

I have ROTF Leader Prime as well as both regular and Premium versions of the '07 Prime. Personally, I kinda prefer the '07 incarnation. Though not as film-accurate as the new one, he has a solid feel to him, better articulation in places such as the arms and fingers, and just looks better IMO. Though kudos go to the ROTF version for its many attributes, I just like the '07s better. Sturdier, better proportioned (not as gangly) and better weapons that don't interfere with the poseability. Not to mention a MUCH easier transformation process.

Honestly, I prefer 07 Leader Premium over ROTF Leader Prime. I like my Primes with a bit of bulk, and the ROTF version is lean and ninja-like, which may make it more screen accurate, but the 07 version feels more like a Prime to me.

I can go for that. I also enjoy the Transformation of the 07 version more too.

My one gripe is the slight backpack caused by the battery box. If they can fix that for the third film version, well, I don't think I could ever be happier!


The buster release is pure love. Great paint job, great face, good gun and swords...man, it's just the backpack that pokes out a bit that's a shame. Change AA batteries for watch batteries and slim that down so it lies flatter, maybe make those boxes on his booty fold away, and it'd be 100% perfect.
