Toy Review - DotM Ultimate Optimus Prime

[TF76]

Great photos above but still doesnt win me over for buying this thing. Too much grey and looks ridiculous.

I don't know why but love reading your replies short and exactly how you feel. It's awesome.

I have mixed feelings, it appeals to me in a G1 brick kind of way a bit like powermaster prime but it isn't really as good as it could have been.

Nice toy. No idea where to put him as he is huge.
Pros: Nice paint apps, tons of play value. Looks amazing in combined mode. Very stable; haven't had him fall yet.
Cons: head is tiny in combined mode. Inner Prime is badly pulled off though worth the sacrifice. Truck is out of scale (too small) for the trailer.

Verdict: Worth the $89 I spent on him.

In other news my son has nicknamed him 'Butterfly Prime'. You know...Cause of the wings. Sadley I tend to agree with him. Still worth it. Goes well with 'Dragonfly Prime' (Jetwing Optimus)

Totally with you on this...

I've been oscillating between buy or no buy for quite a while still can't make up my mind. Already had a Jetwing and I hate that the Ultimate OP's got the forewheels on his arms.

But then again, how I'd love to help my OP got back his trailer!! He said he needed that flight tech.

If only Hasbro has packed that trailer together with my Jetwing OP.

These pictures really emphasize the odd proportions - the long torso/short legs.

I'm not going to be buying this guy, but I did enjoy seeing the pictures with the trailer.

Yeah, why didn't they make a trailer for the leader class figure that could fit the Jetwing attachments inside...? It wasn't really made clear in the movie, but the impression I got was that the wingsuit wasn't the trailer itself. If they could have incorporated the cool 'weapons ring' as well then we'd have an absolute winner.

Does anyone know what scale truck mode ROTF Leader Prime is? I wonder how hard it would be to make a custom trailer to store the wings in.
