    It's much simpler and a lot smaller than WFC Optimus.
    That said It's a neat figure and would be good for younger fans of the line for sure.

    Wow... didn't realise he was that much smaller I'll be sticking with WFC Prime so he's at least in scale with Megatron.

    I don't hate the mold, but it is not the best figure ever created. Transformation is too easy, dimensions are very strange and the feet are just there in alt mode sticking out like a sore thumb.

    Yet I still like it. Visually it is nowhere near as good as the WFC version, but the simplicity of transformation is a positive when compared to the original.

    It is very small, so I can only recommend if you can get it cheap, love the FoC Prime model and do not have the original/do not like it.

    It' s actually quite detailed, mostly the head. Although small, it fits well with Shockwave. Looks better from the side than straight on. I have him side on with one foot forward on a rock. Really reminds me of him going: "I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message bla bla." He looks better in person but still kind of mediocre. Better than nothing though. I think it's good to add to a Foc scene but not by its self as lots of other deluxes tower.

    It's not a terrible mould... it's just not worth the full Deluxe RRP IMO. Would be nicer with darker colours too. Had this toy been sold for $20-23, then I'd have less gripes... but $28-30? :/
