A great option for a cheaper version.

Reviewer: Phoenix,

When I saw the pics of this toy online I really liked how the truck looked but was unsure about the robot. When I bought it today I must say the robot looks much better in person. I have seen the 44 dollar toy and it does look great, but with that said this cheaper toy really does hold up well in comparison. If I had one small gripe it's that Prime's chest is not the front of the truck like old versions of the toy and instead a fake chest is used. This is minor and really is made up for more than well enough.
All in all if you want a really good permanent Prime this is a great addition and well worth the price. It also was just hard enough to transform without being over the top hard like some of the other toys that have come out in this line. Bumblebee comes to mind.

Optimus Prime!

This is one version, of two, of The Fallen in toy form (the other form being approximately a 4 inch tall figure), and this figure is really neat! The Voyager series is quite possibly the best version of the Transformer figures we get with this particular movie. The figures run at about $23 depending on where you buy them.

I also bought The Fallen and Megatron figures of the Voyager editions and, this also goes with The Fallen, the figures all feel cheap. The plastic is extremely lightweight and it's tough to keep the figures from staying in their vehicle modes (Optimus) without the aid of a rubber band. As much as I love these figures I will say right now that the Transformers toys from the 80s were of better quality than these. These feel like toddler toys that will break apart at any second when you handle them.

The detail on this version of Optimus Prime is the best you're going to get outside of spending $45 for the electronic version. Granted, some detail in some areas is a bit shabby but it's the best thing without breaking your wallet. I really like the detail Hasbro paid to the face of Prime as it definitely looks like the exact same face Prime was given in the film!

The figure transforms in a decent manner but you'll want to keep the directions that come with it as you'll never be able to fully remember how to transform the figure if you aren't using it after a while.

Overall, the figure is exceptional and highly recommended for any collector or fan of the Transformers toys! The appendages look great as well as the paint job!

Excellent Optimus

I recently picked up this Transformer and aside from a few quibbles, I have been very impressed.

It has been a while since I actually bought a Transformer for myself, but recently I have been getting back into it. I had heard from a friend recently that the newer Transformers had a suprising amount of detail in the transformations. Add a resurgent fascination with Star Wars and I decided to pick up a couple of the Star Wars Crossover series. It has only progressed from there so with a recent birthday I decided to pick up this model.

First the good. The transformation of the toy simply wowed me. No more simple "unfold leg and twist". (Yes, the legs still "just unfold" but the details in that is what sells it). The panels that pop out and mechanically fold back under are just not there in the older toys. And considering this model is only rated at a 3 out 4 difficulty, I can only imagine what a 4 out of 4 would be like to transform.

Additionally, the detailing on the truck is excellent. From the "faceless driver" that flips out of sight when the door is opened to the spring loaded panels on the cab that pop into place as the legs extend, to the forearm protectors that slide into place, there were just so many details on this toy that impressed me.

Finally, the eyes in the head and the lights on the truck are clear blue plastic so that if you face Optimus towards you with a light behind it (like a window) they light up. Very cool.

The downsides. Some parts of the model I would guess wouldn't be that durable. Parts such as the rear fenders fold up but seem precarious and vulnerable to rough play. I imagine an older kid would have no problem with this but a toddler or someone on the edge of the rated age range might inadvertently break them off. Also, the nose of the truck just sort of folds up into a ungainly backpack in robot mode. It would have been nice if a little more thought went into this aspect of the model.

All said though, this is one of the coolest tranformers I have had the pleasure to transform in a long time and will only fuel my addiction for more to come

Highly recommended. Enjoy.

Last point, this toy seems almost identical to the one issued for the first Transformers movie with a simple paint change. Since I do not own that toy as well, I cannot speak to any change made among the various issuances, though I believe it is Hasbro's policy to reissue the same toy over and over again in various packaging.

Great Service

Reviewer: R. Zedeker,

Overall, this isn't a bad Voyager class toy. It transforms well and looks decent in both modes. However, I do have a few complaints. In both modes the colors are a little dull. The reds and blues aren't that bright. All of the parts that are supposed to be a metallic color (grill, exhaust pipes, gas tank) are beige. He looks good in robot mode. Although, the way he transforms leaves a big "hump" on his back. It's not that bad looking straight at him, but it's more noticable viewing him from the side/back. If you want a more "movie accurate" version I would get the Leader Class figure. The Voyager Class Optimus Prime is a good figure, but not a great one.
