I would have bought the DOTM Ark it it transformed into a Sentinent robot mode.

At 65 bones, this actually makes me consider it. I've been looking at it all wrong, always focusing on the robot mode with the combined mech mode as a bonus, when i should have been looking at the robot mode as the bonus. Hmmm... Man, I'm getting it :roll:

This fig wont move too fast on the shelves..That pricetag to the average consumer buying toys for their kids is gonna keep em away, I'll wait on this one. See what the customizing community can come up with and inspire me

Still want the Takara prime though...

In my area & the 20+local stores(walmart,target,tru,kmart) that I visit. ROTF Supreme Devestator as a major shelf warmer. their were literally pallets upon pallets of this toy that didn't sell.

stores in my area months/year later had to take drastic steps by doing a major clearance & selling the ROTF supreme devestator for under $30 just to get rid of it.

I didn't care for this toy. I bought & prefer the legends ROTF Devestator combiner better that walmart in america sold as a store exclusive.

Makes me reminisce back to the good ole' days of Energon Optimus Prime.

I'd be able to afford this, but I just entered an auction for G2 Bruticus. Eh, it's probably better than this. I'm not upset at all.

Cool as the figure looks, do they expect us to pay $40-50 just for the trailer?? If it was a LEADER CLASS with trailer I was ready to pay $90 for it. Voyager $20 plus $50 for a trailer that serves ONE function???? I think I will pass till its $40. LOTR EE and Warriors Way here I come!!

Dammit! I want it now. I guess I was just looking at him wrong.
But I'll wait for it to go on sale at Christmas and ask someone to get it for me.

I just got my DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime delivered to me from Fedex a few minutes ago.

the toy comes in a huge box. the box measurements are 16 by 14 by 6 inches deep.

The trailer wings & pointed downward like a cape inside the box. this is probably how i'm going to be displaying this toy in combined robot mode. I'm not a fan of the angel/buterfly upward wings that are posed on the back of the box.

the toy inside the box comes already in combined super robot mode. with a beyond huge mech tech weapon on the right side of the robot inside the inner box.

I just measured the combined robot mode inside the box from head to toe & it measures exactly 12 & 1/2 inches tall.

the mech tech weapon is huge,I measured it & it measures around 8 & 1/2 inches long.

YEAH,THE combined robot mode has a super tiny pin/under sized/small robot head. which makes the whole thing look awkward.

THEIR is a outer helmet that is attached to the mech tech weapon. So i'm most likely going to un-screw the outer helmet & try to place it over the tiny robot head. hopefully I can get something decent looking & similar to the energon leader sized optimus primes combiner outer helmet.

In a couple of days,I'm going to be doing a few u-tube videos on this toy. mainly trying to show what other reviewers of this toy didn't yet.
(1)like how poseable the toy is in combined robot mode. (2) trying to un-screw the robot head outer helmet on the mech tech weapon. then placing the outer helmet on the tiny robot head & seeing if it fits into place without the mech tech weapon attached. (3)doing a few size comparisons with other TF toys in all 3 modes of this dotm toy.
(4) measuring the smaller non-combining ultimate optimus robot mode. and letting everyone know exactly how many inches tall the robot is from head to toe.

Two things is this thing bigger than Omega Prime and second can anyone comment on what to expect for DA-28 DX Redecoration Leader Optimus Prime? :VEHI:

For those that own him, he looks pretty easy to transform. I HATE my RotF Prime, because he's a pain. Is this figure pretty simple? He reminds me of RiD Prime.

From the videos I've seen he looks really simple for a Ultra class figure. My only problem is that he doesn't have a weapon for this particular mode.

My ultimate OP and Ark arrived a couple of days ago, which was really fast! I used site-to-store shipping and they got it there in about 5 days. Haven't had a chance to open OP yet, maybe this afternoon.

I had a 20% off coupon at TRU so it ended up being $68 with tax.

Havent opened it yet as I am still undecided. Plus its so damn big I cant really put it anywhere until I finish my basement.

I figure I can always return it if I change my mind.

by **User897** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 10:16 am

Lower price or not, this figure is absolute pants.

HasBLO should have brought us Jetwing Optimus Prime in the States, because, you know, that version ACTUALLY APPEARED IN THE FRAKKIN' MOVIE.

Stupid bugbot piece of crap. Oh well. :roll:
