This particular Optimus Prime looks like "lazy knock off" In my opinion. It is absolutely ridiculous to ask $45.00 for it then it's not even remotely comparable to ROTF leader class in the matter of detail and quality!
Lets just hope that this is not final product .

THE FU** DID i JUST WHITNESSED??? :shock:

the truck is awesome, can't complain about a thing like that.

But the robot mode??? what the hell happened to prime???

Hey Hasbro, I have 10 words for you:

IF IT AIN'T BROKEN DONT F-ING FIX IT, DAMN IT!!!!

ROTF Leader Prime was the summum of the bayverse primes... and then it all went to hell.

Ain't gonna get that at all. not even for the truck mode. It is safer to say now that I will definitively get Masterpiece Soundwave... with all his cassettes...

if that ugly thing is what is yet to come from the movie franchise, hell, it will be Masterpieces only. at least I'll get challengin transformations, quality and true great toys.

Hasbro can take that thing and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. [-(

Some of these are NOT Transformers. :-B

Too much drinkin' for the camera man... :roll:

Uhhh, yeah, but that Carnage looks pretty sweet. The head mold looks pretty right, surprisingly. :shock:

If it's from Hasbro, and it's in the bag along with Transformers, we report it.

No one seems to mention the one good thing on Prime: the chrome. After seeing him in action in the movie I might warm up to this design more. Right now it looks really weak and too anime-inspired, but we'll see. Hopefully the sword is like some kind of weapon he finds, not something he just goes around with. Doesn't really fit as an Optimus weapon.

I know!

But is it me, or is your non-TF coverage very random and unfocused? Death's Head II?! Woo? I don't get it. >:oP

Still, how bout that Carnage? =P~

I do have to agree and say it does look more like a Voyager than a Leader. The back kibble isn't bad, just about as much kibble on this one as the ROTF, just handled differently. Hopefully the rest of the Leaders for this line look as good. Leader Grimlock... dang... the thought of it...

Galvatron... please? I still have hopes that he's gunna be in AOE. XD

You are insane. If you think that rotf leader prime had the same amount of kibble. Rotf prime simply had back kibble.. And other than the folded up wheel wells, his back kibble was accurate... This thing however has a ridiculous amount of kibble everywhere.. Huge panels just hanging off.. If you can't see that good for you.. But a lot of us aren't liking the direction hasbro is taking this movie line.

I know there was speculation it might be a voyager....if it IS a leader, its definitely a step backwards, with all the kibble and giant rear axle backpack. I've always been optimistic when it comes to the TF movies, but I'm not sure I like this overall design either (just basing on what we can tell from the figure). Where's the chest windows?? Hope the cgi render is better.

Let me answer that with a quote:

Hasbro.Inc wrote:TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS OPTIMUS PRIME Leader Scale Figure
(Ages: 4 & up /Approx. Retail Price: $44.99/Available: May 2014)
The Leader Scale OPTIMUS PRIME figure from Hasbro is part of the TRANSFORMERS brand’s popular GENERATIONS action figure line and is inspired by the upcoming TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION movie from Paramount Pictures.

He looks decent enough, if he really is Leader-sized I will admit he looks too simple to transform for his size.

What some people unfortunately seem to forget that Leader Class and up have been overly simple the past few years, I mean look at Prime's Weaponizers which were roughly the same size.

I think what you seem to forget is that the weaponizers weren't leader class figures.. They were weaponizers, and their lower price reflected their simplicity.. This is a true leader class figure with the $45 price tag to boot. The last leader figures we got were bumblebee, sentinel, and ironhide.. And I certainly don't remember a simplicity trend with those.

So you see, no one is forgetting anything. This is brand new and it's bad.. Really bad, and if its any indication of how simple the rest of the line is.. It's a major disappointment to those of us who have actually enjoyed the movie designs, and a decent amount of the movie toys.

And lastly.. This is a $45 toy, what parent is going to buy this for their kid? I've never seen a kid in a toy aisle ask their parents for a leader figure let alone their parents say yes. The leader class and human alliance figures should be aimed more towards collectors, because they are the ones with the money to spend..

I fear hasbro has overlooked the size of their collecting market on this one.

Darth Vader looks good but wasn't Anakin bald by the time he donned the armor? (Injuries and all?)

by **Evil_the_Nub** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 5:53 pm

Does it have any electronics? The head looks like it's on a ball joint and I don't see any buttons or switches anywhere. There's no way anyone is going to buy a glorified deluxe with no electronics for $45.

Utter garbage. :SICK:

Looks like a BotShots figure that's tried evolving into a conventional figure.

From the looks of it, it's an Anakin figure that you can add armor on to be Darth Vader. Doesn't make any sense beyond being a gimmick, like buying two figures for the price of (probably slightly less than 2 figures).

I think "Bayformers" pretty much covers this as well as its predecessors.

Fair, however, someone will still want a "BETRAYAL" for this specific iteration of bayformers

Hasbro has been making Marvel toys for the last 4 or 5 years but I don't remember why Marvel awarded the license to Hasbro. I know Toy Biz continued making non Marvel comic figures for a little while after but I am not sure if they are still making toys.

Ho-ly crap. Even if this is grossly mistransformed, it looks impossible for that to tuck away neatly.

I cannot believe it's a leader class. Everything about it looks small, like a deluxe. Has there been a mistake? If this is leader class then the chrome quality is really bad:

and these are big pins in his shoulders:

I'm hearing theories that this OP was simply "inspired" by the AOE design, which I'm hoping is true. Not exactly thrilled by the design.

Frankly, while I do prefer OP with his classic windshield chest, I'd rather do without it if it's going to be more fake kibble.

boy.. for a leader class, they could have done a better job
like the rotf leader optimus that was the best so far! this looks like
