Toy Review - TFPrime Optimus Maximus

[griffin]

Is there an explanation as to who Optimus Maximus is? Is it Optimus Prime with a battle suit upgrade, different character altogether?

It may well be something in the cartoon eventually, or it could just be a toy-only gimmick... the packaging "bio" is very vague.
It's not sentient, so it isn't a character. It is just an exosuit for the Cmdr class Optimus toy to sit in the chest cavity, with a helmet that flips over the top of the robot head.
The rest of the toy has other cavities for other Legions & Cmdrs to sit in, in both modes.

I think this is the most silliest toy of the decade!

I cant see this as anything but a modern version of the Machine Men power suits.

The real question is can BW Quickstrike fit in this? It's not perfect but it might make it appealing for Beast Wars cast collectors.

That's what it was reminding me of.... I was trying to recall where this concept had been used before in a cartoon.

Wow man... can't wait to skip this.

If I want an Optimus Prime transformable vehicle playset for smaller Transformers, I'll go play with Star Convoy.

That looks like such an awesome toy!!!!!1!!!!1!!!1!1!!!



Where is the sarcasm font??

It really should at least come with a redeco of Cyberverse Prime. At least that might be a motivation for someone to actually buy it. If they redecoed it in Fortress Maximus colours with a Cyberverse toy as Spike/Cerebros it would still have been rubbish but at least collectors might have bought it.
