Get Primed for Optimus - You Know You Want One!

Transformer fans are excited about the new Electronic Optimus Prime Transformer Robot. Hasbro has updated and improved this figure in several ways. He weighs just over two pounds he feels a bit heavy when you take him out of the box. Sanding 10 inches tall in robot mode, he feels sturdy in hand. The head and upper body have good definition and his chest and eyes light up.

Design

The lower body also has more details and better design than the older version. The wheels tuck back and out-of-the way and the legs are less bulky. Be careful not to break or damage the feet. The feet contain the mechanism for automatically changing certain parts back to truck mode. He has greater mobility than previous models and can manage different poses quite easily.

A little longer than its original model this new one has fewer visible seams when in truck mode. Less cartoonish and a bit more serious; this Optimus Prime is ready for anything! Fearless and wise, as a hero he has earned the respect of humans, everywhere.

Battle Ready!

Prepared for battle, Prime comes with two missile cannons. They are not detachable and when he is in truck mode the missiles turn into smoke stacks. His voice is clearer and he speaks more, which is always an important feature. Other sounds that consumers enjoy are the air horn, revving engine and the changing mechanism sounds.

I say...Get Primed for Optimus

For collectors and older children this is a great choice and is reasonably priced in the $40 range. If you shop online or the holiday sales you may find some bargains. Check out this loved and respected character, you might just want to take him home for some earthling you love.

Optimus Prime is a well-built, electronic transformer toy. Although designed for children five years and older, we found there were some confusing moments during the transformation of this toy, children might need adult assistance. Once it had been completed a few times it was not a problem.

Long time fans and novices will love how Optimus Prime looks and performs! All of us look forward to the release of the new movie next year.
