Advised for ages five and up, Ultimate Optimus Prime is one of the most totally featured action figures you'll come across.

With its vivid red and blue finish and distinct racing stripes, Ultimate Optimus Prime's truck form is as detailed and well built as any model truck and would be a best addition to a cabinet or dresser leading. The truck is able to roll freely on carpet and tough surfaces alike.
Like all Transformers, there is a great deal more to Ultimate Optimus Prime's truck form than meets the eye. When it is time for him to come out of disguise and lead his fellow Autobots into battle, he can transform into a massive, powerful robot in Robot Mode. Employing Power Mode, the trailer converts into the Omega Combat Armor, permitting Optimus to be placed inside for an impressive 22-inch high stature with extended wings.

Difficult Transformation Course of action
Critical collectors might have some issues about the figure, especially his posability. His wrists and waist do not move, limiting his articulation, and some of his joints range from becoming also stiff to too loose. The Ultimax Super Canon, even though impressive in its huge weight and size, tends to make it tricky to balance Optimus as soon as it's connected to his physique and limits his motion. Also, his wings detach frequently, yet are hassle-free to snap back on.
The figure's robot-to-truck conversion is particularly troublesome to execute, taking up to 30 minutes. Younger young children may not be able to transform Optimus Prime on their personal. Nevertheless, these flaws can be overlooked, offered the general high excellent of the toy. For added connectivity, the figure capabilities six Mechtech ports on the highest wings and four on the canon, creating it simple and easy to attach separate weapons for enhanced play (sold separately).

Consumer Reviews

Reactions have been very splintered over this figure. Some individuals absolutely really like it, but a lot of many people just hated it proper off the bat. I was a single of the consumers who certainly had high hopes for this figure, but knew not to set expectations also high. So, naturally, I tracked down this figure as soon as I heard he was released. It took me awhile but now that I have him, he's completely worth it. He's huge, he's enjoyable, and just all about impressive. However, he is not screen correct (his combined mode isn't even featured in the movie), so if you're expecting nothing but accuracy, you may possibly be disappointed.
Omega Armor Power Up Mode
Pros
- Massive size, standing 22 inches tall (with wingspan). It is unbelievable to look at and makes an stunning display piece.
- Enormous mech-tech canon shops perfectly on his back, or flips down to give him a new helmet and enormous gun that is held with each hands.
- Really stable, he won't be likely to fall over easily at all.
- Aside from some troubles with his wings, he's fairly durable.
- Feet design make him incredibly stable
- 6 mech-tech ports on the top of his highest wings, along with 4 on his canon. Attaching a weapon to each of those make him look even a great deal more extraordinary.
Cons
- His wings pop off regularly, but they are easy to snap back on.
- His arms do not stay together nicely, which can be a authentic pain. You are going to have to hold a substantial portion of the arm maintain it in 1 piece while moving it.
- Restricted poseability, pretty popular for combiners, but for an $80 cost tag that's a bit painful. No waist articulation, and only side to side leg mobility.
- Combined mode head is a as well tiny, unless you flip the canon out to give him a helmet.
- Helmet is permanently attached to the canon, so you have to have the gun out for a appropriate sized head.
His combined mode is fairly impressive, and the wing pop-off challenge is not that significant of a deal. Although it has pretty small range of motion, the sheer size a great deal more than makes up for it.
Side Note 1: If you hate the "Butterfly wings" you can fold them and position them anyway you want, in no way are his wing positions restricted. They can look like a cloak, or additional like the jet pack he uses in the movie.
Side Note two: If you want a bigger head for his combined mode, you have to do a mod to remove his canon's helmet from the canon segment. Appear up Peaugh's youtube video "Ultimate Optimus Prime Helmet Modification" if you want him to have the helmet with no canon.
Optimus Prime robot mode
Pros
- Rather tiny amount of excess vehicle parts (Kibble) are present in his robot mode.
- Decent poseability, not good but it's fairly fantastic. His balance is also fairly really good, he can stand on one leg with the other leg raised in a kicking position without having any stability issues.
- Terrific head sculpt.
- Pretty durable.
- Stays together incredibly properly in robot mode.
- Fairly sturdy smokestacks, not the ones that get bent out of shape effortlessly.
- Intermediate transformation, Revenge of the Fallen Leader Prime he is not. It's not incredibly tough, but it really is not simple and easy sufficient for a five year old.
- Bigger than a voyager, but smaller than a leader
Cons
- This con is subjective. Most individuals dislike his "Popeye" arms. His front wheels from vehicle mode do not collapse or shop in any way. In spite of this, It really is not as massive of a drawback in person as the photos made it seem.
- No waste or wrist articulation. For 80 bucks, I absolutely did expect that.
- Shoulder guards can pop off (this could just be my figure although, it may very well not happen on all of them, and it really is painless adequate to snap back on).
I had a lot of entertaining with his separate robot mode, and posing him is quite enjoyable. His balance is pretty beneficial, and I just love his kibble-totally free appear. The arms, waist, and legs are a setback, but it definitely isn't that negative. He looks considerably far better in individual and is Rather far from getting the worst Optimus Prime ever as a few folks have claimed (In my opinion, that title effortlessly goes to his Machine Wars incarnation or Titanium Optimus Prime). You'll either adore this mode or hate it. He could possibly not be the most movie accurate, but if you seriously want close to excellent screen accuracy, get Jetwing Optimus Prime from Takara (really pricey, although) or the Revenge of the Fallen Leader Prime.
Side Note: For those interested, he's about the size of an Ultra Class figure when he's not in power up mode, so his size is in amongst a voyager and leader class figure.
Semi Truck/Trailer mode
Pros
- Evokes a classic G1 really feel
- Rolls and turns nicely
- His combined mode's canon shops incredibly properly underneath it, and nothing drags on the ground when rolling it along.
- Small to no robot parts are visible in his Truck/Trailer mode.
- The Truck itself looks quite great, and has a incredibly great paint job.
- Mech-Tech ports aplenty. He's got fairly a few ports all over him to location any mech-tech weapon on.
Cons
- Paint apps could be much better on the trailer itself. It really is a normal dull grey, and the Autobot logo could appear substantially greater.
- No automobile mode characteristics.
- Cab portion is a bit as well modest for the trailer
Side note: His trailer can fit on the Revenge of the Fallen Leader Prime, but it does need some customization to the trailer hitch.
Not a entire lot to say about this mode, it's really good and looks excellent, rolls nicely, but the paint apps could appear improved and it could use some electronic for this mode.
Final thoughts: I went in with somewhat high expectations, but I knew not to expect a different ROTF Leader Prime figure (due to the fact he's fairly much wonderful), and I came away pretty happy. The whole package is pretty good. His combined mode is an incredible display piece, the size and variety of wing poses make him a incredibly strong looking figure. His separate robot mode is not the most screen correct, but it is a lot of enjoyable. The trailer mode is a brilliant recreation of his G1 appearance.
Don't go in expecting one other ROTF Leader Prime, mainly because this Prime isn't screen correct. Nonetheless, he's a ton of a entertaining and is, to me, worth the value. His quick transformation is less time consuming than ROTF Leader Prime, so he is significantly even more kid accessible, but is geared towards older kids or collectors. Also, the instructions are not all that valuable. It's all photos and no words, and with an instruction sheet this tremendous, it's quite cumbersome and unclear in what it means.
With supervision, it will need to be fine for older young children, but it will possibly be also complicated (and large) for younger kids.
General: 8/10

This Optimus definitely has the "wow" factor and is incredibly impressive. He's cool to appear at and does so a number of points.
But how to get him to do those issues. . .? This is a complex, complex toy. There are diverse instructions for transforming him--roughly 20 actions for every transformation. The illustrations are primarily monochromatic (with a handful of highlighted parts), which could work well beneath some circumstances, but doesn't in this case. The illustrations are also smaller, and the combination of the lack of color and the size tends to make it fairly difficult to choose out facts. As I worked to move the robot-mode Optimus's torso away from the outer-shell armor, I had no concept what I was performing. Very first I found that a piece of twine still held the physique to the armor, so I managed to clip that. Then I nonetheless could not rotate Optimus's shoulders forward like the illustration recommended. Eventually, I succeeded--but honestly, I have no idea how I did it or how to do it again in the future.
Altering the armor into a trailer is tough. In the illustrations, the arms of the armor seem to magically fit into location inside the trailer. But those arms have perhaps a dozen joints! How does one particular manipulate them to get them to fit snugly inside?
My husband (who has a degree in agricultural engineering, has built plenty of models as a hobby, functions on cars really often, works with computers professionally, and is at the moment constructing a large shed) took over transformation from robot to truck for me, and he has just completed transformation from armor to trailer. It was a extended, frustrating knowledge--it probably took 45 minutes--and then he figured out that we had been trying too challenging and that the arms don't actually fit inside the trailer--rather, they type of stick out underneath it. Suffice it to say that I assume a individual could possibly have improved luck with the transformations if (s)he didn't consult the instructions at all than if (s)he tried to follow them carefully.
I suppose I've come to expect frustration from Transformers toys. I do not remember having negative experiences with my personal Transformers toys as a kid, but my son's toys have been yet another story. His interest began with a Bumblebee toy someone gave him for his 6th birthday. That toy is very easy to transform into a robot, but hard to transform into a auto, and we're not positive it really is going to retain its capability to remain transformed into a car. The brittle old plastic on the vintage G1 Optimus I purchased on eBay resulted in a snapped leg [on the toy] in much less than a day of relatively gentle play. This new, fancy Transformers: Dark of the Moon - Ultimate Optimus Prime toy naturally has its personal frustrations. It really is rated for ages 5 and up. It does appear sufficiently durable to deal with having youngsters as young as five play with it, but I have to wonder how lengthy it would take a kid that young to discover to do the transformations with out assist.
Ultimate Optimus Prime could possibly be a superior gift for older Transformers enthusiasts (teenage +) who have a lot of patience and intuition as far as transformations go, and I will need to repeat that it really is fairly, fairly cool in some strategies. Even the sound effects are quite amazing, and I'm not commonly a major fan of toys that have sound effects. But I am thinking that this certain Optimus is not for most folks, simply because a toy this high priced shouldn't be this frustrating.
