I purchased this for my grandson's fourth birthday and he loves it.  He already has Prime and Bumblebee and I will give him Blade and Heatwave for Christmas to complete his collection.  He plays with his transformers by the hour and his creativity is amazing.

These little Potato Head heroes are so much fun! My 3 year old had gotten a few Transformer ones in the clearance aisle at a local drug store and he has the best time with them so I decided to get more. He is a big fan of Avengers and other super heroes so I was excited to find these. I ordered this set and have been giving them to him one at a time as potty treats. He is so excited when he fills up his sticker chart and gets a new hero! They all have interchangeable costume parts so you can really mix them up and use your imagination to create new heroes. And they fit together with the ones we had previously gotten so he has a bunch to mix up. These really provide hours of entertainment and creative play, and he really gets to work his imagination. I'm looking forward to finding more characters for him.

He loves the show and he spends hours playing Lego games on the Wii and building with Legos too. This was no exception

My son is a big fan of Transformers. I had to buy him this for his collection. At first I had a doubt being the reviews in here aren't very good so I decided to write my own. This toy was a success with my boy he absolutely loved it. We had no problems flipping it with ease to change it into a car mode. Its sturdy and converts into a Bugatti with the flip. Overall makes a great gift for any fan of Transformers and exotic cars.

I cannot stress this fact enough, this is not a kids toy.
But it is very good. It is a remold of the leader class revenge of the fallen optimus prime, but with some minor remolds. He has the dark of the moon abdomen piece. He also has the previously asian exclusive gas tank gun. He does not have his ROTF swords, but ive heard they hinder the toy when retracted. The robot mode leaves very little to be desired and the jetwings look great, even better then the original. They even have little stabilizers to put on optimus's feet that make him stand up better. Both robot mode and vehicle mold look great, But there's a chance you won't even make it to vehicle mode, for two reasons. One, the robot mode looks so good you'll have no interest in ever transforming it. Two, because this is one of the most complex transformers in the history of the toy line.
 Overall it looks great, it poses great, and its well priced. Its almost the smae price as the original now, but this comes with so much that it is the one to buy!

He loves it! I didn't know he even had the skills!

After watching a review on Youtube, I had to pick this guy up. I love the look of these guys on the show, and the RiD figure doesn't disappoint - as with most collectors, I recommend him over the First Edition. While he is easier to transform (which is a bit unfortunate for my taste) he has some very interesting tricks that make him fun to transform every time - the legs. I won't give it away for those who want a surprise; for those others, just look it up on Youtube - Optibotimus gives a great review. I recommend the RiD Vehicon for any Transformers fan; he's very unique and accurate, and a lot of fun!

First thing I want to mention is the posted age limit of 5 years for this toy. This figure is tricky to transform, and a lot of kids would probably have trouble with it. 5 may be too you, maybe somewhere around 9 or 10? For younger kids who want a movie Optimus Prime figure, I would recommend the smaller, less expensive Voyager class figure... although not as impressive, he is simpler to transform. Or maybe the CyberStompin' Optimus?
But back to Leader class Optimus Prime.
I own several Prime figures, including the first release of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime... and even that figure is easier for me to transform than this guy. But still, this figure is one impressive transformer. He looks good in both modes.
As a robot, he does an amazing job of capturing the likeness of his on screen counterpart, more so than any other figure, with probable the exception of the Robot Replicas line.
He has a good range of movement (arms, legs, feet, knees ankles and wrists), but does lack a turning waist... oh well. A very minor flaw.
But again... he just looks amazing! I look at this guy, and I still am surprised that he can transform into a semi truck as many of his truck pieces as so well hidden. Although he does suffer from a good amount of kibble on his back, but it's not horrible.
As a robot, he has two gimmicks: first, you lower this tab near his waist and press it down. It causes his chest to move up, the gears inside of it to move a bit, his lights light up (including eyes), and you can hear a recording of him saying "I am Optimus Prime" (possible Peter Cullen himself doing the voice?).
Second, he has his two extending battle blades from the film on each arm. There are buttons on the inside of each arm that when flipped, release the blades. The gimmick is neat, but flawed: the blades are so large that they are visible when retracted, and interfere with movement of the arms. They also are a major hindrance when transforming him. It would also be nice if his fists retracted too, but no luck on that. Still cool, but the blades are the only major thing they had been able to rework for this figure.
Transformation is quite a process. And as I said, it is tricky. Parts often have a tenancy to interfere with the this piece or that fitting where they should.
There are a few small cheats, like a few smaller pieces of his chest that look like truck parts folding up and not being truck parts at all. But the trick is keeping everything together and moving the parts in the right order. Don't be surprised if ball jointed parts snap off: they'll snap back on. But it's a pain.
The aforementioned arm blades will almost certainly want to spring open.
This may be the most complex transformer I have even handled.
Another gimmick though: when you either pop apart his waist, or put it back together, he makes the classic transforming sound.
Finally, when you get him to truck mode, you can appreciate how everything fits together so well. This complicated robot somehow becomes this truck. The truck doesn't look bad at all. You really don't see much robot kibble at all. If any, just a tiny bit on the very back of the truck where a trailer would connect. Even the back of the cab has no robot parts showing. And that brings me to the final sound gimmick. There is a small button on the back of the truck cab (easy to overlook, and it's not pointed out in the instructions) that makes motor sounds.
Overall, an outstanding figure. Pretty complex, so be warned about that. Other than that and a few small issues, I recommend him.

This Figure is AWESOME. Hasbro reached out with this design to do a lot of things and they hit a lot of buttons well. For diehard Transformers collectors, you may find some of the target market sacrifices annoying, so read through carefully, but for a play oriented display, the more than casual fan or something for a truck-minded kid, you'll love this.

The Trucks:
Each of the 6 Constructicons turn into big, bulky trucks. Compared to some older Generations Transformers, the plasitc feels lighter and more rubbery, but the vehicle's size and material are just begging to go out in the dirt and be played with, hosed off, and transformed. I do wish that Hook's crane could turn, or slide, or that Mixmaster's cement drum could turn, but the wheels all roll soundly. And I can forgive Long Haul's dump bed being shaped the way it is as needed for transformation, I suppose.

The Robots
Like the vehicles, these are BIG Bots. Some have said their size almost makes them feel like oversized Knock Offs, and I can understand that too a point. They are lighter than expected for their size, due in part because of the overall weight of Devvy. But the size of the Constructicons is also endearing, and if they were smaller we'd feel somehow shorted. its a good size for young and old hands alike. Transformations are very loyal to G1 for the most part, but still updated enough to feel new and not braindead simple, either. I wish they had more accurate guns, and not just Devy's accesories with gunbarrels. Takara is covering that in their own line, but at Takara prices+import. The Headsculpts are definately top notch though, right from the 86 cartoon movie.

Devastator
Two words. BIG. STABLE. You'd think for a guy standing on someone doing a hanstand, he'd have all the balance of a drunk pegglegged pirate in a hurricane. But on two feet, he's extremely balanced. The figure feels hefty, but just the right amount without being front or back heavy. And at 18" tall, he dwarfs most of his enemies. While smaller than the recent Metroplex, he's twice Leader Megatron's size and far larger than the other Combiners.  The way Scrapper and Mixmaster unfold and latch into Long Haul to form the legs is ingenius and almost foolproof. This figure can take a lot of play without falling apart. Hook and LongHaul connect together in three places and then both connect to the arm bots Scavenger and Bonecrusher, Hook through the giant's shoulders and Long Haul by tabbing into the treads that form the ribcage/armpit area. And THEN you can tab on the shield, which connects to Long Haul with clips, a peg into Hook on the left side (but oddly, not the right?) and then with slotted tabs onto both treads, as much reinforcing the existing joints as it is holding itself on, while simoultaneously not making the figure hard to take a part. On mine, the wrist joint is tighter than the joint the han swivels into itself on, which has resulted in me popping the hand off the cuff several times. Nothing broken, it's a simple knob in a divot and designed to give, but it is annoying. I also find myself missing the 5mm standard pegholes. He has 5mm handles in his hands for the smaller bots to hold them as weapon pods, but no easy-to-use peg hole. He actually grips his blaster. It makes the hands look good, but in G1, Devy had a Scorpion guy who turned into a gun and this Devy can't weild a recent Scorion figure easily. Minor gripe though in the grand scheme of things. And that headsculpt? amazing.

The bottom line is this: If you want a Museum Quality, Masterpiece Devastator, you might find this lacking. But this figure is fun to fiddle with, looks good with Generations toys, as well as the Robots in Disguise 2015 figures, has great posability, and definately stands out. You won't go wrong getting this for you, or your child, or both.

I had to watch a video on youtube to figure out how to transform him. As a truck it looks cool, as a robot, it looks like he has a big backpack on him. The guns that pop out are cool though.

Whenever I look at toys, I see the time and effort that went into the original sculpt.  This one was meticulously done.  There is a lot of articulation from the parts that will allow you to pose the figure in many different ways.  For obvious reasons, you can't move the head a whole lot - the original design of the robot doesn't allow that.

The forearms extend a little and add to the industrial appeal of this robot.  The only complaint I have is with the foot design which seems a bit hurried.  Then again a lot of time went into the rest of the design I'm sure, so footwear was probably getting in the way of someone's eagerness to show off the bot.

This would be way too awesome if someone could add LED lights to it and maybe a clear resin casing to where the operators have visual access.  Then again, it would probably cost over $200 with those added features so I'm happy to have this for only $20.

He has such an amazing talent. This is one of those albums I can listen to all day.

Only reason I'm giving him five stars is I can't figure out how to give him six!!  This is by far one of the baddest Transformers toys of all time in my opinion.  Great looking in bot mode and alt mode, great throwbacks to G1 but still modern and appealing.  My friends 4 year old ADORES him.  The only problems I see with him is I don't love the actual transformation of him, and there is one bit of plastic that always scares me is going to break during transformation, but this is mostly a matter of learning how to properly transform him.  Love love love this guy.

I was delighted to be able to get this for a young boy who is a huge fan of the Transformers in general and Optimus Prime in particular. The toy has provided hours and hours of playing time, which has, of course, involved bringing all of his transformer toys out to play as well. Interestingly, of all the features of the set - and there are many - the one that has been the biggest hit with him has been the book that accompanies it.

This will be a definite hit to any child who loves the Transformers. I will issue a warning: this is a loud toy. You can always remove the batteries and produce a quieter toy, but if you don't mind your kid getting a little loud - or to be more precise, don't mind their toys getting loud - this could be a perfect and hugely popular gift for all Transformers fans ten and younger.

Bought this as a gift for my son, and he is absolutely in love with it.
This robot is sturdy and makes a lot of noises, moves, had lights, and entertains my 6 year old for hours.  It shoots out disks, which is endlessly fun for him, and he loves that he can control it with a remote.
It has worked really well and we have had no problems with quality, durability, or overall satisfaction.
