Video Review of War For Cybertron Optimus Prime

Must buy. Could be my favorite deluxe in the past year (aside from ROTF Lockdown...LOVE that fig).

Hasbro can't be re-doing Generation One every 4 years. This is as good as it gets, and let's be thankful we're even getting toys for a video game...

Why should we be 'thankful'?

Is it just me, or is this video loading frickin' slow? I have a cable modem and it's testing out fine at speedtest.net, but I can't watch this thing without it freezing and loading the whole way through. Finally just gave up.

Anyhow, the alt mode isn't as cool as I thought it would be, but it's still one of the figs I'm really looking forward to.

Probably because Hasbro didn't have to bring this line back to us.

Yeah, that's true, but Hasbro is a toy company that is making toys. We don't really have to be thankful for anything. Before I get blasted for saying that, I understand what you mean Blurrz, and I understand the whole buisness, but you all do know that we don't really need to thank HAsbro for anything, right?
I'm not Hasbro-bashing. I'm just saying that Hasbro needs us to purchase their wares more than we need to purchase their wares. I'm talking need here, not 'need' as in 'we need the "plastic crack..."' ok?
Hasbro isn''t the Grand Inquisitor, we don't need to be thankful for anything they 'give' us, becuase they don't give us anything, we exchange our money for their product.

Ok, Ok, sorry for that, just wanted to say. It seems like we've been getting hounded somewhat for not vapidly applauding things around here, to me at least.
That being said, I like the way this toy looks, but I also agree with Mr. Optimus Prime...it seems like it's lacking character to me. I liked the WWI designs, and this line seems like as much of a WWI line as we're going to get, and I'm ok with that, but this doesn't look like it has whatever WWI Prime had that appealed to me. Note that I said "me," as I'm only speaking for me, and I don't know what it was about WWI Prime, but it had something.
To Mr. Optimus Prime: maybe it's that this isn't "new", since we have the WWI designs? I don't know, just a thought.

i look at it this way if prime isnt bigger than deluxe that gives me hope of a properly scaled omega or even trypticon which would be great even if not this could potentially be one of the first lines in a while that i buy completely great job hasbro

And look what that gave us toy wise. It's time to move on, this design is phenomenal and this line is definitely something I am picking up instantaneously.

Ditto! I can't wait for the new lines to come out! What is the ETA on these awesome figures? Prime looks great. I can't wait for the rest of the line!

as much as i would likw wii prime whic lokos better than this but ill buy it its closest thing where ever going to get to wwi prime in deluxe class it has some simlar aspects in truck mode, & some in bot mode

i'm reading these posts and it's sickin

this fig along with the whole line for this game is:

new
fresh
and cool

WHAT IS MR. OPTIMUS PRIME'S BEEF!!!?????


dude, you're not gonna get War Within Prime or whatever the heck you wanted.
if you don't like it then have a drink by yourself.

personally, this is an awesome take on an already iconic hero.

i've always wanted to have a pre-earth prime, a cybertronian prime, a completely different design "prime".

this does that and more.

with the game coming out we get to see cybertron for what it is/was. and from the sound of it we're also getting one kick as story to boot.

ya, ok the alt mode seems a little weak but what did you want? a truck!? It's freakin Cybertron, there's no such thing as an earth moded truck up there.

again, if you don't like it just

you're never gonna get what you're asking for.

The bot mode is awesome and based on the points of articulation....i can almost assume you can get some wicked poses from it.

can't wait to see the rest of the line
