The only toy I'm keeping from the aoe line up thus far. His transform is fun! But it's also cheating that this prime has a separate chest AND grill for bot mode xD, but yeah it's kinda hard to get the g1 cab looking like movie prime without cheating or extremely fiddly bits.
This is the only AOE voyager/deluxe together with High Octane Bumblebee that I don't want. The front of the truck is ugly with too many panel gaps. The colours yuk. Robot mode is awful, especially that grill and the faceplateless head.
I kinda wonder if it wasn't a copy of the G1 truck, would it be any less popular?
Heh, in that sense this toy's kinda reminiscent of Powermaster Optimus Prime.
I was going to skip this toy... then I saw the trailer. I don't think I would've gotten this toy if Optimus Prime didn't actually appear in the film in this form. Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised by this toy -- I was fully expecting to dislike it, but I've found it to be a really fun toy that's quite addictive to play with. The "paint by numbers" colours are incredibly mundane though, you'll get no argument from me on that.
Got the Platinum version today with the Myer sale. He is soooooo much nicer with the chrome and the face plate! My favourite AOE toy now.

I was really tempted to buy this piece and it seems to have gained a lot of love from most people.
from the pictures, the truck mode looks great! in bot mode, it the paint job does make it look very bland.
first thing i noticed are the pointy things on his shoulders are red and not silver. The whole bot mode just makes it look like chucks of blue and red plastic with very little detail.
and if they did do a more worn out look, im sure it will still look great.
Never fear, Penetrator!
The AD02 by TakaraTomy is a much better alternative
