    Absolutely brilliant review Stompy! It's a credit to you.
    I actually am liking this now but what's with the 'I am Optimus Prime' sounds again?.....arrrrrrrrgggghhhh! Mechtech weapon looks ridiculous and his head looks too small but $119 doesn't seem a bad price.

    The head is small in the Omega armour but he is wearing a mech suit, it is not an upgrade. I liken it to the mechs used in The Matrix movies which the humans used underground.

    Once again, another Stompy review has me looking forward to another purchase.

    (loved the comparison pics in both modes)

    Nice review Stompy

    Ultimate Optimus Prime for 119 seems like a great price. Recently I ordered Voyager Optimus Prime for at least 115 from BBTS.

    I am hoping that Big W will have Ultimate cheaper. Anyone know the price point?

    I love Optimus's "OMEGA COMBAT ARMOUR" but his "ULTIMAX SUPER CANNON" is terrible. I have made the quick mod that PEAUGH made and this enhances the figure dramatically.

    Target in Mildura actually had two Ultimate Optimus Primes today (which is funny considering they still have at least 8 Jetwing Primes) and seeing it in person made me very happy that I chose Jetwing rather than Ultimate. I'm sorry but Ultimate looks ridiculous. Jetwing is far more movie accurate. That's just my two cents on the topic.

    Here are more photos taken with flash. I was a little disappointed with it, they really should have his battle helmet separate so his head doesn't look oddly small when he's wearing the full battle armour.

    Was also so annoyed - took almost an hour to figure out how to fold the arms in! It just didn't fit in properly at all.


























    Don't laugh at my Monkey Jammies! Just wanted to show how the arms are folded.

    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.

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