[@jonmorganphotography]

I love the SS version but wanted to try out a MPM because I love this version of Prime but after seeing this review it seems like they kinda dropped the ball in a few places. I didn't notice the cat ears before and that actually takes away from the design of alt mode!

[@MosheMaserati]

Serious inquiry. Can I buy what remains of your TW prime? I could use some spare parts for mine, which has suffered a similar fate. Let me know if we can work somehting out.

[@656delta]

I'm a little late to comment, but I just received this figure, and I gotta say I love him. He's a rad looking truck, a kick-ass robot, and I don't have to write off the entire afternoon to transform him. When I got my first Optimus for my birthday back in 1985, I think it took all of two minutes to transform him without instructions. It didn't bother me that the truck wasn't a perfect scaled down model of a real Freightliner, and I gave a steaming turd about the robot mode not being "cartoon accurate." Isn't a fun toy the entire premise behind transformers in the first place? I have several third-party figures, and they are awesome. I researched every Bumblebee Movie OP I could find, analyzing the trade-offs between scale vehicle mode, movie-accurate robot mode, what other people liked and didn't like, etc. Then I thought about how I rarely take my "accurate" Transformers out of my display case to fiddle with, and I decided that fun would take precedence over accuracy. I also really like the chest-plates on this figure, mainly because of the sun-visors that wrap around the main windscreens. It's a small detail, but I think they make both robot and truck mode look bad-ass. There's room for improvement, but that's been every Transformer since 1984, and the "flawless/accurate" examples we've seen over the years look great in your display cabinet, but let's get real; they're not fun to play with. I'm having as much fun with this figure now as I did when my dad got me Optimus when I was nine. I have no regrets.

[@stinkyfartguyofficial]

this would be completely valid if this guy wasn't 100+ bucks and wasn't in the *masterpiece* line, which is supposed to strive for accuracy. not only is he completely innaccurate, he's also more complex yet less good looking than the studio series version, which is an actual toy for kids.
