With the destruction of MEGATRON, OPTIMUS PRIME thought that he was finally, after millions of years, at peace. Little did he know that the escape of STARSCREAM would draw dozens of new DECEPTICONS to Earth. The desire that burns brightest in his Spark is that the war will soon end. He is determined to see that end come, and so he works with his human comrades and the other AUTOBOTS to hunt the DECEPTICONS that have come to Earth, and destroy them, one by one. Prepare for battle with this AUTOBOT leader by your side! In robot mode, this mighty warrior features electronic speech and light-up eyes and chest that are sure to discourage enemy attackers!

Transformers Movie 2 Leader Optimus Prime Review

I’ve been collecting transformers since I was a kid and if there’s one thing I’ve ALWAYS hated about the toys up until now, it’s that the product never accurately matched up with the character on the screen. Now, keep in mind that back in my day, things like what we see in CGI films like Transformers weren’t at all possible…but Takara Tomy finally broke that depressing streak with THIS figure. This has got to be the most impressive example of planning upon planning for a perfected design that features an extremely complex transformation (at first)- but after the first few times you get the steps down pretty easily (only took me a few days). If you compare the 2007 model/version of this figure to the newly redesigned 09′ model- you’ll see a SIGNIFICANT difference in character comparison. This IS Optimus Prime, not just some inaccurate toy, it’s so close to the CGI character that I don’t see any mistakes in the design- if anything it’s PERFECT. Every detail matches up with the CGI design so well that it’s just AWSOME! The toy is durable, AND when you transform it, parts don’t rub against each other and mess up the paint job- which i know some perfectionist collectors ABSOLUTELY hate. Buy this figure, because I honestly don’t think you’ll ever find another TF product this close to character/toy accuracy! BUT, i will say this- if you’re a real collector and you want character/toy accuracy…go with the Takara Tomy version instead of the Hasbro version. The Takara Tomy version’s name is RA-01 Optimus Prime and you can find him on the web in plenty of online stores. Get that version, because if you look closely you’ll see that it’s paintjob is actually correct while Hasbro’s model has some of it’s parts painted red instead of silver- don’t settle for that lol. Mkay, well- happy hunting and have fun with this product!
