Ultimate Optimus Prime Video Review

I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna need a bigger shelf if I'm getting this guy...

Kick ass, I'll definitely save up for this after my Wave 3 collection is complete. Wave 4 isn't going to be out for a while, so yeah

What gets me is that it's not even able to hold anything in trailer mode. Couldn't even hold one deluxe or scout vehicle. Blah. (although, yes I am getting one)

jeez. i cant even sit through the whole video. what a piece of crap. im mean come on, for 90 bucks all we get is recorded sounds of little kids making explosion noises with thier mouths. and thanks again for 'I AM OPTIMUS PRIME'. he sounds like an idiot just learning how to speak. this is just gettin sickening. thanks again for the crappy ass figures. and now i cant even find classics stuff, the stuff i really want cuz the shelves are just plastered with this crap. im almost ashamed that i want leader class ironhide but he looks pretty cool. the human alliance wreckers look pretty cool too but thats about it for me. the ultimata optimus had better look awesome in the movie at least cuz the toy looks like hot garbage.

Remember tha movie from Botcon about video reviews? For some reason I'm thinking about it and chuckling to myself now.

Agreed.

I still think we need a HA Prime.

Yeah I suppose.With that kind of price tag you expect him to be bigger than Ultimate BB >.<...As for the HA Prime...Chances are we wont get one cause of the size issue and what-not.

On topic...Damn this guy look worse than Kre-O Optimus in BOTH mode !!! Here's some cons I saw atleast from the video :-

1) The trailer is FAR from the truck...It's supposed to be closer.
2) 80-90$ for an Optimus that doesnt even look close like the CGI!? Seriously the robot mode looks far worse than the first Movie Voyager >.>...
3) HUGE monkey-like arms...
4) Small for a 80-90$ price tag...
5) Damn simplistic transformation...
6) The trailer is pretty much useless in alt mode...

And I got all that just from watching the Transformation video...Imagine if I were going to check the first video...The cons will pile up so much that it will make people who buy this piece of crap feels like a piece of crap...

Agreed.

IMO, I like to think of Peaugh as a Professional Reviewer - this guy's more of doing it casually.

Can I dream along with you? Not to sound cynical, but cash and time spent designing this figure could've gone into a HA prime. With Peter Cullen and David Kaye as human partners thrown in.

I don't like this figure, but I'm interested. I'll pick him up if I manage to get a hefty discount; in M'sia, this thing would probably go for $100.

Come on guys !

When Takara anounced Voyager OP with trailer, everybody complained that the toy was a crap because the trailer was a useless weapons-cabinet in robot-mode.

Now that Hasbro releases Ultimate Prime with a trailer that actually transforms into something (battle armor + wings),
the toy is a crap because the trailer is useless in vehicle-mode (i.e. other TFs cannot be transported inside).

So, what do you guys want ? I am myself reasonably satisfied with both Takara's Jetwing OP and Hasbro's Ultimate OP besides the imperfections. After all, any design is constrained by trade-offs.

By the way, is Ultimate Prime painted in silver or is it just bare gray plastic ? What about the trailer paint-apps ?

Im realy suprised im actually not a big fan of this, watching that video put me off.

Like some of you, I'm trying really hard to like it but...it's just so hard. I was all "It can be a new Omega Prime!"...but... the regular Prime just looks so lame. Maybe if you could substitute a better Prime like the HFTD Voyager or something, but I'm almost certain Hasbro wouldn't put that much thought into it. I would probably buy this if it costed maybe $60, but $80-$90 is just too much.
