 Sloppy Robot Mode, But There Are Some Positives Aug 28, 2007
By Shanghaied
This guy definitely doesn't look as authentic as the leader class version in robot mode. I'll summarize a few of the bad points for the robot mode:
-The entire front end up of the truck to the roof of the windshield folds up and creates a bulky huge backpack looking feature on his back! The lazy design pretty much slaps you in the face here.
-The front end is re-replicated on his chest even though you can see the windshield from the truck mode on his back. Looks TERRIBLE and is obviously a very, very sloppy design.
-In several places, the figure has parts that sort of float freely. The shoulderpads that don't snap into place and the wheel covers that fold up on his feet come to mind.
-The weapons look fairly strange also. I've always traditionally seen prime with one cannon (even in the movie), but here he has two identical spring loaded guns.
Apart from these bad points, there are some good qualities:
-This version is considerably more durable than the leader class version. There aren't as many small parts involved with the transformation, and the only really fragile parts are on his legs.
-Of all the voyager class figures I've tried, this one's transformation is by far the easiest and least complicated. After a couple tries it should take 20-30 seconds or less to complete the transformation.
-The bulky front-end backpack balances the figure, making him a bit more poseable.
-Truck mode looks decent.
If you want a Prime figure for the kids this wins out over the leader class, but for any collector other than the most meticulous, I'd say this is passable.

 Optimus owns May 07, 2008
By Christine W. Elliott
"joseph elliott"
I am very impressed with this figure even though i thought i was going to hate it. It is the most durable Transformer figure i own. It looks great in robot mode and has excellent articulation. He uses the smoke stacks from vehicle mode as guns. Prime transforms into a blue and red Peter Built truck. The vehicle mode is also quite nice. Both the robot and vehicle mode are very detailed. One gripe. This Movie Voyager prime is not tall enough by my standards compared to the other Transformers. So I will be purchasing the leader class optimus prime. The reason this will not hurt the rating is because this is a movie voyager and can only be but so big.

Pretty Cool Feb 02, 2009
This guy was my third transformer. After a while the missles have trouble staying in the cannons. The trick to making him stand up is that his feet unfold more than they seem to. This guy serves his purpose as audobot leader.
 Better alternative to DOTM voyager OP Aug 26, 2011
By John B. Connor
"dragonsandsuch"
If you are looking for an easy to transform, movie version Optimus Prime, than this version is much better than the new DOTM version. He is larger, better proportioned, and has more articulation. His engine "backpack" is a bit of a draw back, but his truck mode is much better than the current one.
My First Optimus (Movies) Jul 29, 2011
By Felito
I was searching which Movie's Optimus to buy. So i compared between all Movies Voyager Class (included NEST, ROTF and first movie)and this was the winner. This Optimus Voyager Class is much more cool than the newest hasbro had made. Except by the guns and the backpack (many figures has it, even worst) this guy is very awesome, the rigth colors in robot and vehicle mode, good shape in both modes, good size and good transformation. The bad things are insignificants in this case for me.
The good: Excellent colors and paint details (i love it). Good shape in robot and vehicle mode. The "fake driver" in vehicle truck mode is a wonderfull thing.
The bad: The backpack (like many others transformers). The guns (just a little weird). Some delicate parts (but cool), just handle with care.
The verdict: In Truck Mode 10 of 10 (i like it so much). In Robot Mode 8.5 of 10 (because the backpack and guns).
