hiya, well Im only really a collector of Transformers Classic line, but recently i saw a few pictures of the Cybertron (G.F) Optimus prime. I gotta saw, Wow, he looks really cool, reminds me of like Powermaster prime from G1. So im wondering if hes a good figure? how much does he usually go for now these days? wonder what other transformers im missing out on =P

Well I don't won him, so all this info's gonna be second hand but...

The Cybertron toys tend to be really good quality- durable, easily transformable and poseable. That's not all of them, but most of the ones I've encountered.
I've heard more than one person on this board say that Cyp Prime is one of the best Prime figures out there, and as far price goes, I've no idea. The Forbidden Planet in Edniburgh i still selling Cyb Megatron for its original price (£40), bt I reckon if you look on ebay you'll be able to find him a lot cheaper.
Hope that's of some help! Hopefully somone who actually owns the figure will give you some proper advice!

I own him and really like him. He is an excellent OP figure. Ryan has a good gallery here on Seibertron: http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery. ... =0&start=0

If you're new to this you are missing out on a lot of great molds, across all the lines (depending on tastes). Obviously some of the lines are more 'densely populated' with "good" figures than others...

-I.P.

I own a Galaxy Force OP and he is awesome! He has his standard vehicle mode- then he has a jet mode- he has his robot mode and then he has his super robot mode. He also combines with Leobreaker and also with Wingsaber. He sells for $50 or $60 dollars US on Ebay. I think he is worth every penny and more. The cybertron line is a quality line. I would highly recomend him and any cybertron TF.

Cybertron Prime and I do own the figure, well the original blue and red release. Instead of the later black and red Galaxy force release, is one of the best Primes from recent times not counting of course Masterpiece.

He's got lots of meaningful points of articulation. although his arms due to the way he transforms are a bit limited.

He has 2 main robot modes which can take add-ons. Like has been said the Breakers: Leo and Nemesis and Wingsaber.

He's got firepower up the wazoo. Has open able chest compartments. And he's the only mainline Optimus Prime AFAIK to actually have a removable Matrix of Leadership inside.

If you like that and want other molds from the Cybertron line, I would suggest Soundwave, Cybertron Defense Scattorshot, Downshift, Dark Skorponok, and of course the big tamale Primus.

This is a great figure. There is a review and some more pics here : http://www.bwtf.com/galaxyforce/galaxyconvoy/

It might be worth checking Family Dollar stores to see if you can find one for $20. That's how I got mine a few months ago. The chances that any more are out there are pretty low, but it's worth a look I'd say.

I really dig the regular color scheme, but the GF version isn't bad at all! Too bad they didn't put Autobot symbols on his shoulders like the original, though.

I have Galaxy Convoy (the Galaxy Force version (ie Takara's version) not to be confused with Cybertron Galaxy Force Optimus) and he is excelent.

I'd recoment getting this version as he has the best paint aps of the three versions of the leader class Cyb Prime.

I'd just keep looking until you can find one for a decent price you are willing to pay.

And in the meantime Classics will be harder to find as time goes on. so if you are missing any, go forth and find them.

Very nice toy, one of the best Primes. Regular price is $40, but dollar stores have/had him for $20.

If you can, get the Hybrid Version (its THS-01 or somthing) it cooler because its smaller, in alt mode it seems simular scale with wstfs, and those are cool too.

There are two main line versions, the normal colored one and Hasbro's "Galaxy Force Optimus Prime", which is red and orange. Takara had a crystal version that came in a gift set, and there is also the smaller hybrid and legends versions. There were also 3 lucky draw versions, Silver, Gold, and Green.

Here are a pic of the ones I have (not shown Hasbro's GF Prime, Classics, and Hybrid):

Edit: Crap, it cut off the crystal Galaxy Force Prime.

by **CecilValiant** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:11 pm

so which one is better? the orginal red/blue one or the Galaxy Force red/black?

The Hybrid and Crystal versions are like vintage Vettes, just ment to look at and clean with a diaper!

However a regular version(reguardless of color scheme) should be purchased at once and toyed with as this is probably one of the BEST Primes ever!

Multiple modes, combination capabilities, terific articulation, and a Matrix(why don't all modern Primes have one?).

An increadable figure, highly recomended!
