Only buy this if you want the swords to go with the first wave version (which has the movie flame decos - this one doesn't).
I don't like the colours much on this one... I don't think it is meant to look like anything in particular, as the Gen1 Optimus doesn't have the blue front.
And I'm not too much of a fan of this blocky chest version of Optimus.
So the swords are the only good thing of this figure.
