Optimus Prime

I was drooling over him at my TRU last week....think he worth the$120 price tag?

I absolutely recommend this guy. There are only a few things that really bug me about this figure but they are not enough to keep me from loving it. The only flaws with this figure are "One the size, he is much smaller then the original masterpiece prime. Thus next to Masterpiece Megatron he is alot smaller making it not that realistic. Two the stomach where the grill is. The grill more matches the comic or a poster I saw that I bought not to long ago. It doesn't match the original G1 look in my opinion." Besides that it is a great figure. Comes with a little spike Witwicky and Roller. The spike figure is not an amazing figure but just that they included him and that he can ride in the cab and roller are a nice bonus. The matrix of leadership is metal! Which is another awesome addition. Adds some realism and weight to it. The chest piece that opens to reveal the matrix is highly detailed and looks just like the scene from the G1 Movie. He is all plastic which makes his weight not as much as the first masterpiece. The windows are clear which make it real easy to see his inner chest. That is a flaw to me and a plus. A flaw for robot mode because you never could see his inner chest. In vehicle though you can see spike riding along in the cab which is awesome. The trailer opens up like the G1 trailer and is an almost spot on clone of it just bigger. All in all I give him a 9 out of 10. He is a must have. forgot to mention his gun transforms and can be placed inside his back when in robot or truck mode. And his energy axe is included. Its awesome but it falls apart easy. At least mine does. But I think a little super glue will fix that. I hope this helps in your decision. I know he is pricey but from a G1 fans point of view he is well worth it.

Thanks for the in depth opinion..my toys r us brought layaway back
So think ill put him in therr.
