    Default TF-03 1 Meter Optimus Prime Tower With Speaker Head

    Well this is my first review so just copied the same heading as everyone else, anyway here it goes

    Review - TF-03 1 Meter Optimus Prime Tower With Speaker Head
    Series - Speaker Towers?
    Size - Approx 43"
    New/remould/redeco - New
    Wave - ???
    Released here - No only online
    Approximate Retail Price - 299.99 US - $450.00 US from online stores
    Approximate Size - 43"
    Allegiance - Autobot
    Alt-mode - None
    Main Features/Gimmicks - Speakers In Optimus's Head
    Main Colors - Red, Blue, Silver
    Main Accessories - USB Cables, Gun, Smoke-stacks
    Difficulty - 2 Just attach legs and head
    Stability - Stands just fine on his own
    Poseability/articulation - His arms move but for some reason of you move one they both move, the legs move but only where you attach them together
    Playability - Limited mainly used as a speaker and for shock value as a giant ass transformer
    My Thoughts - Its pritty cool detailed after the MP Prime, will look good in anyone’s collection if they have the room for him
    Overall - Its hard to say i bought it because of his size and the way he looked, it is cool but for the same amount of money you could buy a decent amount of new transformers. Its to you but im happy with him

    And now the pics, sorry but there will be a lot of them

    The Shipping box he comes in


    The Box inside the Shipping Box that Optimus is in


    When you open the box


    The individual parts

    I hope you don't need a gun collector's license for that!

    Is the headpiece the only speakers?? How do one control the volume?

    It's illegal to import replica firearms into SA, but once it's in Australia then it's perfectly legal to own! Having said that, I don't think Optimus Prime's rifle classifies as a replica firearm considering it's not based on a real gun like Megatron.

    That gun is the coolest thing about that kit IMO. The fact that it dwarfs Fortress Maximus is mighty impressive too! (Fort Max is literally only 55% of that Optimus Prime tower's height!)

    It's not something I'd get cos it's just too expensive and would take up what little spare space I have in my TF room. But hey, if you got it you might as well flaunt it (I would!)!

    Yea sort of, 1/2 to show off and the other 1/2 because when i was looking at getting mine it was so hard to find anyone who owned one. Also couldn't find any good pictures of him as all the pictures on the robotkingdom web site made him look like crap and all the other web site use the same pictures. This way people can see what he looks like up close and know what he is like
