However, for me, I'm putting my leader class Primes in storage and using battle blades Voyager Prime with my movie stuff.

For one, ROTF Prime actually looks exceedingly accurate to the CG model in both appearance and transformation. The Ultimate Prime has the entire front section of the truck as the arms, wheels and all...
Not to mention, the Jet Pack of Jetwing Prime actually looks like what we saw in the trailers.

Something I gotta say...First of all "crappy toy"? IMO the gatling look detailed and the jetwing look awesome compare to the Ultimate version Hasbro did.
Secondly...You do realize Hasbro and Takara both make the toy designs right? That means if a Hasbro toys sucks what you basically saying is Takara sucks too...So really is this REALLY the first time? Try to think about it dude.
Lastly,Takara Tomy isnt a perfect toy company. They make mistakes too...So dont give me crap "Oh I never thought Takara would do a crappy toy!"...Try consider the Henkei,Binaltech/Alternity...Think about it...Takara done atleast one crappy toy on each line...So dont give me crap "Oh it's the first time Takara screwed up !" >.<
On topic...Awesome add-on IMO. Though I wish Takara would release just the Jetwing parts >.<...Cause I really dont need another Leader Prime xP.

lol. Trailer and full armours FTW
I agree, this armour is okay, but it just doesn't look like it can form anything. It looks a tad out of place on such a detailed figure. I also really can't be asked to cough up a huge amount of money for an Optimus I already have.
The Ultimate on the other hand, forms a PROPER trailer, and I'm sure with decent transformation (not the mistransformations seen before) the combined bot mode will look great.

seriously?... you would choose hasbro's ''ULTIMATE, sorry,''pretty princess fairy prime'' over this. yes it lacks in detailing but the figure itself has to be better. the only reason i would ever get ultimate prime is if i couldn't afford takara's jet prime, or i want the trailer.

Actually, no toy has gotten the correct look. Prime only has 1 pair of wings, not 2.

The other pair is the tailfins from his jet boosters

Gotta agree with you, Fairy Princess Prime is a huge P.O.S. compared to this. I really like Jetwing Prime, but I don't really want to buy another Leader class(I already have the ROTF Leader class). If they did a Voyager version though, I'd be all over it.

I wish they'd keep the complexity grading the same. As far as I know, most figures come with a scale of 0 to 5 and most are graded 2 or 3. This is now classed as a 3 and is the highest level. Makes it seem like nothing more than an arbitrary box art feature.

and even if the ULTIMATE is huge, i think is just crap, the armor, the optimus alone

So does this mean that later on the Jet-pack parts will be sold seperately?

This guy is decent, but I do believe more work could have gone into it. (yes, same with the trailer prime)

Is it better than Ultimate Prime ? Maybe yes, maybe not. I don't care, I know I will end-up getting both at the end ...

Again, I just don't understand the point of not having the chrome finishing in order to save some US$ 20 or 30 on the final price this already so expensive figure.

I do hope he ends up as a leader version here in the states as the voyager, ultimate, and deluxe DOTM Primes don't do the CGI model justice.

That's because it's Buster Prime. His tanks transform into a gun.

Don't really care for the "flying truck" mode, but I'm going to display him in jetwing bot mode, so there's no problem there.

I agree. This is the much better choice of the two. Considering you now have this backpack as an option, there really is no need for the transforming trailer. If anything, it now seems like a waste of money and time, to be honest.
I'm thinking a 3rd party or someone should create a trailer that could hold this thing (if it folds down), or give instructions on how to make one of your own.
Ultimate Prime looks great in vehicle mode.
TakaraTomy Optimus looks great, but the trailer is just ridiculous with all of the guns sticking out of it.
This guy seems to be the best one, so far. Give him a trailer and he'll be close to perfect.
Oh, and an accurate paint job wouldn't hurt...

My thoughts exactly. With a trailer to house the jetwings, this would be the perfect movieverse Optimus. I wonder if third party companies are interested in making something like that?
I'm wondering if the trailer for MP-10 Convoy [pre-ordered, major wallet damage] could be used for the ROTF/DOTM leader class OP truck? It won't be accurate, but it would be cool to have a leader class trailer.

On a more serious note, I have to say that this ranks right up there with just about every other DotM toy I've seen.

You guys do realize the wings are adjustable on the ultimate Prime and they aren't stuck in the butterfly position, right?
I'm not really digging this one, it's just Optimus with an awkward backpack. I'd rather get the other one.
