Seems decent enough, but I'm quite satisfied with my Evasion Mode Optimus Prime. After I see the movie I may decide to pick him up though.

WooHoo...Sooo glad I put the kabash on my Amazon preorder!
This is a complete piece of crap...actually liked the first edition AOE Prime better and I returned that one to Hasbro because of chrome issues for refund. I know I won't have any trouble scoring an Evasion Mode Optimus on launch day, but have to wonder how everyone else will make out when it is the ONLY worthy Prime in the line thus far.
Just my humble opinion of course...thanks for another great review.

Here's a thought: have we actually seen movie footage of the Dinobots in robot mode? What if they end up like Movie Scorponok, i.e. only an on-screen beast mode?

Hasbro confirmed they'd be transforming. Maybe its suppose to be a "surpise"

Are you ready to buy your Transformers: Age of Extinction figures? Afraid you might miss the boat or won't be able to make it to a store? Fear not, Hasbro is launching a scheme for online retail too! This coming Monday has been dubbed Cybertron Monday, and marks the official release date for online retailers of the movie toys. As a fun extra, you can also get a voicemail from Optimus Prime to remind you of the date! Check out more info here and below.
Monday, May 12th is CYBERTRON MONDAY, the official day when Transformers: Age of Extinction toys will go on sale at online retailers. The landing page http://www.cybertronmonday.com will go live shortly with more information about the event. Stay tuned for more details, as an official press release will make its appearance.
Also, as part of Cybertron Monday, we're letting U.S. fans sign up to receive a voicemail message from Optimus Prime reminding them when toys are available on May 12th. Fans can text TRANSFORMERS to 38470 to sign up.

I spotted Voyagers Optimus and Grimlock at WalMart today. I picked up Optimus only, (because I think Grimlock is hideous) and I wasn't disappointed. It's a very good figure. Dare I say better than the Leader. From previous photos and reviews I didn't think I would, but once I had it in hand at the store, it was a must-get.
I went to give his shotgun to DoTM Voyager Megatron, just to see if it would fit, and it does. Also, I noticed that Evasion Optimus scales very well with DoTM Megatron in both modes. In both modes he's juuuuust a bit bigger, but it's much closer than DoTM Voyager Optimus was.

The official Transformers YouTube channel has uploaded a new video, featuring a look at the work going on behind the scenes, directly on the desk of toy designer manager John Warden and Bill Paukert themselves! From colours, to alt modes to transformation to translating movie designs to plastic form, and materials, it's all in there, especially focused on the dinobots: take a look at the embedded video below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

"Just when you think transformers can't imprss you any more...", man that toy designer must have set himself some pretty low expectations for the films to keep impressing him.
Though I will say that Optimus on a robot Dinosaur is pretty cool.

i love behind the scenes stuff.. takes away a bit of the "magic" but it's always interesting. Wish hasbro would do a documentary about the process and how it changed from back in the 70s and 80s to now with technological advances and also certain considerations such as health and safety etc

Just an update for anyone who cares, Amazon appears to have either pulled or pre-order sold out of the wave 1 AOE stock. Maybe on Sunday more items will pop up as people drop orders, who knows.

I'm still waiting on stores. Seems dumb, I agree, but there's something fun about getting stuff at brick and mortar, plus the opportunity for that doesn't come around much anymore.

Looks like the only Prime I'll be getting from this line is the 'Evasion' mode.
