Convert From Truck to Robot
Suggested for ages 5 and up, Ultimate Optimus Prime is one particular of the most totally featured action figures you'll acquire. Initially, Ultimate Optimus Prime appears as a semi-trailer truck in Trailer Mode. 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 wonderful addition to a cabinet or dresser best. The truck is in a position to roll freely on carpet and tough surfaces alike.
Like all Transformers, there is alot 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 enormous, potent robot in Robot Mode. Using Power Mode, the trailer converts into the Omega Combat Armor, allowing Optimus to be placed inside for an impressive 22-inch high stature with extended wings. Equipped with a firing Ultimate Super Cannon and retractable battle mask, Ultimate Optimus Prime is handsomely detailed and articulated, so he's posable.
Advanced Lights and Sounds
Ultimate Optimus Prime can light up and make a variety of sounds. The Ultimax Super Canon functions separate buttons to make rocket and plasma firing sounds with coinciding flashing red lights. With a pull of the sliding trigger, the front of the canon opens up for a coordinated burst of lights and sounds, accompanied by the iconic phrase "I am Optimus Prime!"
Difficult Transformation Process
Serious collectors could possibly have some issues about the figure, specifically his posability. His wrists and waist do not move, limiting his articulation, and some of his joints range from being also stiff to too loose. The Ultimax Super Canon, while impressive in its massive weight and size, tends to make it tricky to balance Optimus when it's connected to his physique and limits his motion. Also, his wings detach often, yet are very easy to snap back on.
The figure's robot-to-truck conversion is particularly difficult to execute, taking up to 30 minutes. Younger youngsters might not be able to transform Optimus Prime on their own. Nonetheless, these flaws can be overlooked, given the general high top quality of the toy. For added connectivity, the figure characteristics six Mechtech ports on the highest wings and four on the canon, producing it straightforward to attach separate weapons for enhanced play (sold separately).

Client Testimonials

Reactions have been exceptionally splintered more than this figure. Some folks totally like it, but a lot of persons just hated it proper off the bat. I was a single of the men and women who definitely had high hopes for this figure, but knew not to set expectations too 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 tremendous, he's fun, and just all around impressive. Nevertheless, he is not screen correct (his combined mode isn't even featured in the movie), so if you are expecting nothing but accuracy, you can be disappointed.
Omega Armor Power Up Mode
Pros
- Enormous size, standing 22 inches tall (with wingspan). It's unbelievable to look at and makes an extraordinary display piece.
- Enormous mech-tech canon stores perfectly on his back, or flips down to give him a new helmet and significant gun that is held with both hands.
- Very stable, he will not be most likely to fall more than simply at all.
- Aside from some problems with his wings, he's pretty durable.
- Feet design make him incredibly stable
- 6 mech-tech ports on the top rated of his highest wings, along with 4 on his canon. Attaching a weapon to every of those make him look even a lot more amazing.
Cons
- His wings pop off frequently, but they're quick to snap back on.
- His arms do not stay together well, which can be a actual discomfort. You'll have to hold a massive portion of the arm maintain it in 1 piece while moving it.
- Limited poseability, quite popular for combiners, but for an $80 value tag that is a bit painful. No waist articulation, and only side to side leg mobility.
- Combined mode head is a also little, 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 suitable sized head.
His combined mode is fairly impressive, and the wing pop-off challenge is not that big of a deal. When it has rather small range of motion, the sheer size a lot 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 appear like a cloak, or way more like the jet pack he makes use of in the movie.
Side Note 2: If you want a bigger head for his combined mode, you have to do a mod to take away his canon's helmet from the canon segment. Look 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
- Pretty modest quantity of excess automobile parts (Kibble) are present in his robot mode.
- Decent poseability, not awesome but it really is quite fine. His balance is also pretty superior, he can stand on 1 leg with the other leg raised in a kicking position without any stability troubles.
- Awesome head sculpt.
- Quite durable.
- Stays together fairly properly in robot mode.
- Really sturdy smokestacks, not the ones that get bent out of shape very easily.
- Intermediate transformation, Revenge of the Fallen Leader Prime he is not. It is not rather tough, but it really is not easy enough for a five year old.
- Larger than a voyager, but smaller sized than a leader
Cons
- This con is subjective. Most people today dislike his "Popeye" arms. His front wheels from vehicle mode do not collapse or store in any way. But, It's not as significant of a drawback in individual as the photographs produced it seem.
- No waste or wrist articulation. For 80 bucks, I definitely did anticipate that.
- Shoulder guards can pop off (this could just be my figure although, it may not occur on all of them, and it really is very easy enough to snap back on).
I had a lot of fun with his separate robot mode, and posing him is quite enjoyable. His balance is pretty really good, and I just love his kibble-zero cost look. The arms, waist, and legs are a setback, but it extremely is not that bad. He looks substantially superior in individual and is Really far from getting the worst Optimus Prime ever as a few folks have claimed (In my opinion, that title easily goes to his Machine Wars incarnation or Titanium Optimus Prime). You'll either really like this mode or hate it. He may very well not be the most movie correct, but if you extremely want close to excellent screen accuracy, get Jetwing Optimus Prime from Takara (particularly pricey, though) 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 feel
- Rolls and turns nicely
- His combined mode's canon shops fairly well underneath it, and nothing drags on the ground when rolling it along.
- Little to no robot components are visible in his Truck/Trailer mode.
- The Truck itself looks fairly good, and has a particularly decent paint job.
- Mech-Tech ports aplenty. He's got fairly a few ports all over him to place any mech-tech weapon on.
Cons
- Paint apps could be superior on the trailer itself. It's a typical dull grey, and the Autobot logo could appear substantially superior.
- No automobile mode characteristics.
- Cab portion is a bit also tiny for the trailer
Side note: His trailer can fit on the Revenge of the Fallen Leader Prime, but it does require some customization to the trailer hitch.
Not a whole lot to say about this mode, it is particularly good and looks excellent, rolls properly, but the paint apps could appear greater and it could use some electronic for this mode.
Final thoughts: I went in with somewhat high expectations, but I knew not to count on an additional ROTF Leader Prime figure (simply because he's quite significantly fantastic), and I came away particularly satisfied. The entire package is very great. His combined mode is an incredible display piece, the size and selection of wing poses make him a pretty powerful looking figure. His separate robot mode is not the most screen correct, but it is a lot of entertaining. The trailer mode is a amazing recreation of his G1 appearance.
Do not go in expecting one other ROTF Leader Prime, mainly because this Prime is not screen accurate. Then again, he's a ton of a fun and is, to me, worth the value. His simple and easy transformation is less time consuming than ROTF Leader Prime, so he is much additional kid accessible, but is geared towards older children or collectors. Also, the instructions are not all that beneficial. It's all photos and no words, and with an instruction sheet this significant, it's pretty cumbersome and unclear in what it implies.
With supervision, it should be fine for older kids, but it will almost certainly be as well complicated (and huge) for younger children.
General: 8/ten

This Optimus most certainly has the "wow" element and is incredibly impressive. He's cool to look at and does so a lot of factors.
But how to get him to do those things. . .? This is a complex, difficult toy. There are many different directions for transforming him--roughly 20 steps for each transformation. The illustrations are mainly monochromatic (with a handful of highlighted parts), which could perform nicely below some circumstances, but doesn't in this case. The illustrations are also small, and the combination of the lack of color and the size tends to make it fairly complicated to pick out particulars. As I worked to move the robot-mode Optimus's torso away from the outer-shell armor, I had no idea what I was doing. First I discovered that a piece of twine nonetheless held the physique to the armor, so I managed to clip that. Then I nonetheless couldn't rotate Optimus's shoulders forward like the illustration suggested. Eventually, I succeeded--but honestly, I have no concept how I did it or how to do it again in the future.
Changing the armor into a trailer is troublesome. In the illustrations, the arms of the armor appear to magically fit into location inside the trailer. But those arms have perhaps a dozen joints! How does one manipulate them to get them to fit snugly inside?
My husband (who has a degree in agricultural engineering, has built lots of models as a hobby, works on automobiles quite often, functions with computers professionally, and is currently building a huge shed) took more than transformation from robot to truck for me, and he has just completed transformation from armor to trailer. It was a long, frustrating encounter--it most likely took 45 minutes--and then he figured out that we were attempting as well hard and that the arms do not in fact fit inside the trailer--rather, they sort of stick out underneath it. Suffice it to say that I believe a person could have greater luck with the transformations if (s)he did not consult the directions at all than if (s)he tried to follow them carefully.
I suppose I've come to anticipate frustration from Transformers toys. I don't keep in mind having negative experiences with my own Transformers toys as a kid, but my son's toys have been one other story. His interest began with a Bumblebee toy an individual gave him for his 6th birthday. That toy is quick to transform into a robot, but hard to transform into a automobile, and we're not positive it really is going to retain its capability to remain transformed into a automobile. 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 undoubtedly has its own frustrations. It's rated for ages five and up. It does seem sufficiently durable to manage getting youngsters as young as 5 play with it, but I have to wonder how lengthy it would take a kid that young to discover to do the transformations without having support.
Ultimate Optimus Prime may be a really good gift for older Transformers enthusiasts (teenage +) who have a lot of patience and intuition as far as transformations go, and I need to repeat that it really is incredibly, quite cool in some methods. Even the sound effects are pretty amazing, and I am not normally a big fan of toys that have sound effects. But I'm thinking that this distinct Optimus is not for most many people, considering that a toy this highly-priced should not be this frustrating.
