It doesnt look too bad for a pop up transformer. Good for the kiddies I think.

A fun wee figure for younger fans. I'd pick it up myself if I had the space and wasn't planning on buying at least three other versions of Movie Prime already.

not bad, I still won't buy it though but mabye for my coz. ha ha ha I said butt.

You know, not bad as far as "Action Figures" go. Honestly, this thing looks a lot easier to play with than the Leader Class version. I don't like that the Wheels intended for the back of the legs are on the back of the Figure, but whatever. I'll buy it. My co workers will come to my desk and play with it...

Not to bad for a little figure. Ill buy it just to keep it in vehicle mode like i do with the legends figures.

I like it, yes. But, what gives on the string? I guess it is suppose to be a safety feature in case you decide to shoot your sister with the missile. The funny thing? The Nintendo Wii has a safety strap too. But, we all know how that one (doesn't) work.

This is actually the only FAB I don't like. He just doesn't look like Prime at all. His huge backpack doesn't help...

the other FABs are great though.

We've come a long way from the Throttlebots.

Piece of crap. Just riding it out till the return of the Alts and the Classics now.
Boy am I gonna save a lot of money this year.

I wonder if that head is on a ball joint. Would be sweet for kitbashing.

Can't really tell if it is a true ball joint but you have 360 degree movement with no way to angle it up or down

Throttlebots for ever!!!!!!!!!!!

He's got one of those Shockwave style cords-over-his-shoulder. Guessing that string is so the kids can't shoot their eye out....and yet still too short a string to tie a noose.

I give my safety thumbs-up!

The thing looks like a ghostbuster.

not that impresive

The figure fails, plain and simple, though I do like the Autobot symbol above the grille.

It dose work some people just get way too involved it wasnt ment for hard core throw around action. But this fig is a pass its a kiddie toy.

Maybe I'll get 5 and make them Big Prime's drones and worker bees?

I do like the Autobot hood ornament, however the hole in the grill is a throw off. I know it's for the kiddies, but so's everything else in this TOY line, but visualy, it would be more apealing if that ornament plugged that hole.

I still like him though.

The string is there because he's "Grapplin' Thingy Optimus Prime" or somesuch. The missile is not a missile- it's a hook. The string is for him to swing on, Luke Skywalker style.

By the way, 83457- does your unreleased toy grading system have any marks higher than "F"? You seem to give it to everything. Maybe you could think about switching to an exponential scale or something, just so we can tell the scores apart

My scale is 'Win' to 'Fail,' I've just been seeing a lot of the latter recently. Now that Real Gear Laserbeak - THAT'S a winner!

That's gotta be the best Prime ever made. I'm gonna get a case so I can open a new one every day. And that dolly attached to his back, ingenious. Now if there are repairs to be made on other Autobots he's ready to slide right under them. All he's missing is the ripcord and he could roll on his back like those new Ninja Turtles.

Ahh- my apologies, chap. I forgot about the li'l mp3-bird.

-Nick

how much more horrific junk is this movie going to keep puking out?

Nice, can't wait. Gonna but 2, so I can repaint me one as Nemesis Prime.
