I took the forked toe pieces off of my Ultimate Optimus and it made him infinitely more pose able ...see pics below. Feet look better too IMO...

Good idea, but it looks a bit weird. I'm used to Bayverse Primes with the toes. I just took mine out of the armor as well, to make him more in scale with Megatron. I hooked the trailer up to leader Prime.

Any ideas if those forearms can be easily modded to not be like that? :-?

I wish I could figure out an easy solution to his forearm look and size. I wish I could swap his hands for some blades though.
I think his trailer is more in scale with leader Prime too, except for the wheel sizes.

The grill/bumper parts can be removed and modded slightly to pop on and off. With a little more work, you can attach those parts to the inside of the arms if you like, as I did. I don't mind partsforming, but I insist the loose parts be attached when you're done.

Bug me about it, I'll post som pics- my daughter's b-day is this weekend, pretty busy.

I would really appreciate those pics when you get some time. Thanks for the reply.

He still looks like ****. The figure is so terrible, For some reason I bought one, and I like it. But it's still a sucky figure. Why hasbro didn't just make a new trailer for a leader and make one hell of a US only item... no one knows.

I will admit, if you put the wings down completely, and give him the gun, he looks like OMGSUPERANIMEGUNDAMOPTIMUSPRIMEHAROOKEN

If only his arms could better tilt, and his legs were articulated.

Nice tip, but it sounds like the perfect way to lose parts!

I am not digging this Prime at all. I was looking forward to it too, which is even more sucky.

Is it turning out to at least be a fun figure for those of you who bought him?

Absolutely yes, I love mine. Huge, detailed, and just lots of fun to fiddle with. I like to think he's a modern-day Powermaster Optimus, they look great together.

I now have the trailer hooked up to G2 Laser Rod Prime. Fits much better than Leader RotF Prime. I like Ultimate Prime in combined robot mode as well, but he has a tiny head.

I like the small head, it makes the rest of him look bigger by comparison.

Yeah, but his head looks so small and unnatural. PM Prime at least had a bigger head we can attach.

I've always felt that PMOP's super head was too big. I too like the smaller head on UOP, it enhances the mechsuit aspect. Kinda like when the Iron Monger opens up his suit in Iron Man.

IT's SPAMMING TIME!
