Toy Review - HFTD Battle Blades Optimus Prime

[iceburn]

What's this poll about? lol

hahaha from http://www.otca.com.au/index.php?pageid=Transformers
I don't even know what the poll is for...

[griffin]

Hmmm, didn't realise that. I'll have to mention the toy name in future...

[Tallestblue]

I had to get the girl from Toyworld to pull him down from pretty much the highest point of the top shelf, (Along with a box of wave 3 of Generations.)
He's a neat representation of Optimus, and the guns are a great addition.
and finally Deluxe Rathcet and Ironhide have someone to lead them into battle against Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp.

...Now where's a Scout class Bumblebee?

I'd consider getting this toy if it were really cheap... otherwise not really interested.

If they released a Voyager Prime with Battle Hooks then I'd be all over that like a cosmic rust infection.

Takara is doing one for what its worth

I got this Prime today from Minotaur for $35
I say it's defintaly a good figure, but i feel i probably would like it better if i didnt already own the leader version, they are very similar
i probably wouldnt have paid $45-50 for it, but that's just because i already have the leader version
the fact that it has swords and cannons (and the matrix) are nice though
I'd say get it if you dont already have the leader version

Got the Taktom version yesterday not realising it was different to the Hasbro version:





Since I've yet to see the Hasbro version in stores, I'm still undecided whether I prefer the blades or the hooks.

[Tallestblue]

It does have nicer colours. But The Hasbro version is good enough for me.

[Stompy]

I'm not partial to the meathooks at all. Although I read somewhere that the Matrix of Leadership in the Takara version is coloured and not grey. Is that right Fungal?

[GoktimusPrime]

The hooks appeal to me cos I already have the leader class one with the blades.
