Let me start off by saying that I’m almost 30 years old. When I was a little kid I always wanted an Optimus Prime toy but never got it. So now that I’m a big boy I figured I would go ahead and fulfill my childhood wishes and get this new Optimus Prime. Let me say this: as a display toy this is a really cool action figure. I think it looks really cool. I had no intention of leaving it in the truck form but figured I would try to transform it to its truck form just to check it out. IDK whether its the rum and cokes or maybe I’m just retarded but I just couldn’t transform it. I tried to follow the instructions but I couldn’t get past the first step. I then turned to Youtube and had a little more success but gave up after a while.
If you’re buying this for a child that actually wants to play with it and transform it back and forth I would not suggest this toy. It is waaaaaaay to difficult to transform. If you’re getting it for yourself or for a child that is a rocket scientist go for it!

First of all, ignore what the box says, because this toy is NOT for kids age 5. It’s very complicated and requires a lot of patience. However, if your kid has that patience, or is intrigued by toy engineering, this toy is great.
It is fully detailed, and has a fantastic transformation which is unique and intuitive. It is also well articulated and has strong joints for poseability. The electronic features work wonderfully, and the toy looks good in both Truck and Robot modes.
For younger children, toys such as the Fast Action Battlers, the Legends, or the Voyager Class Optimus Primes are more appropriate due to their relative simplicity. However, older children will greatly appreciate this Leader Class version, because it is one of the most innovative and detailed transformers ever seen. Highly Recommended!
