Just got mine today. Overall I'm liking this figure more than I thought I would.

I bought it primarily for the accessories: I LOVE the Ion Blaster. It's about time they did one in the deluxe class. The axe is a welcome addition but it feels ultimately unnecessary for the character of Orion Pax. The figure also does a better-than-normal job with paint apps and I was particularly impressed by the sculpt and paintwork of Orion's head. Exactly how you would picture a young Optimus to look. Articulation and balance on this figure are also very good.

My only gripe with this toy is the truck mode. It's like it can't decide whether it wants to be a 20's art-deco saloon car or a Cybertronian pickup truck. I would have preferred if they went full-cybertronian on this one which would have been perfectly possible given the way the whole front end and sides of the vehicle shell-form. The weapons storage in this mode is handy but looks silly.
