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.
