    It's a Peterbilt 389.

    Actually, Optimus is a Peterbilt 379, not a 389.

    This Prime is strange-the pictures made it look pretty ordinary, and it cuts a few corners, but I also think it looks really really nice, especially as the OP in this excellent series.

    I personally like the darker colours on this guy, though the lack of flame details in robot mode is a bit of a shame. Poseability is great (esp as the swords really need it to be useful weapons), along with the proportions on the figure. However, he is missing/misapropriating a few important details (chest windows are weirdly shaped, no reflectors above them, silver cylinders aren't on his shoulders, hinges for bonnet stick really far forward, short smokestacks), which I understand on close inspection is a bit sad, but even if the battle blades is more closely matched to the CGI in that regard, this figure is far more slim, solid and playable, and the head sculpt is awesome.

    Transformation is really cool and wasn't what I expected-the truck mode is fine, the short smokestacks are less obvious than I thought they might be.

    Overall I think this is a good figure that, while not the best movieverse Prime, gets a lot right and looks awesome as part of the SS collection.

    Happy to have gotten this guy, colors a bit darker than I would have liked but that’s probably my biggest dislike about the figure. For scale he fits in well with the rest of the studio series figures, would have loved the hooks he had in the second movie so I could pose him tearing apart blackouts face.

    As mentioned it’s a really nice transformation and for the size I think it’s been really well designed.

    I'm not interested in buying this toy cos I got Movie Primes coming out of my ears
    The darker colours don't personally interest me, but judging from pictures this toy looks like it has a really good range of articulation. I'd love to have a play with this toy.

    I'd also like to see photos of this OP riding atop SS Grimlock.

    The only let-down for me is that this is marketed as ROTF Prime, but has swords instead of the hooks from the forest battle.

    Other than that, a damn solid figure with a super-cool transformation.
