He looks even better than I imagined. It's insane.

One major crit though (and not with the gallery) about the figure...

His waist is awfully small compared to his torso. I do fear that in time, it could easily wear out and break. (Probably could buy the figure again during the sequel films, if they stick with this animation model and what not...)

Perhaps I'm wrong. Did it feel sturdy to you, Ryan?

Nice to see him with the MP Trailer! It seems to fit nicely.
Articulation is surprisingly good.
He does blend in well with the other Primes.
Awesome gallery!

Pretty spiffy figure....but does anybody else think that Masterpiece Prime still looks like he could take a heavier beating?

Also.....light-up nipples?? WTF??

Remember back in the 80's when Gobots would talk and their Windshields would light up while in vehicle mode? I think that's what they are there for.

You take such damn good pictures - you're making me want to buy one now! I'll probably just stick to the Voyager Optimus, though. I still gotta eat, y'know.

Hmm. I like it. A lot. Much better than the official images make it look. Now we just need to convince Hasbro to send you a Prime helmet so I can buy it off of you.

As much as I generally dislike the design of Movie Prime, I have to admit that this Leader version almost looks better with the Alternators than MP Prime does, both in terms of size and style. That alone could motivate me to buy it.

Ryan, if you have some extra time, some quick shots of him next to a couple of Autobot Alts in bot & vehicle mode would be most appreciated :)

Thank you, Lord Cthulhu, for what looks to be the sweetest transformation I have seen in a long time... a long time.

Now if they would make a leader class everybody... okay just Ironhide and Blackout, I could die happy.

So, Seibs... where do you live, exactly? :P j/k

I knew i shoulnt've looked. I need to find these damn movie toys. That prime is kick ass. I guess the try me thing is for the automorph feature. Cant wait to see this guy on the big screen. I like the pic with all the primes at the end. You should take one with all the Optimus toys. From g1 all the way to cybertron and clasics.

Awesome Gallery Ryan. I wish Hasbro sent me free Leader Class Figures :grin:

He's looking good. Looks like an Intricate Transformation.

I think i might just cave in, get him.

Many thanx for the galleries. And Congrats on the cool surprise by Hasbro.

The try me button is used for him to remove his mouth shield when speaking and scar your G1 childhood. :grin:

Actually I was wondering what the try me but was for as well. I also want to know what Robo Vision means. Do you look through a hole in the back of his head and see everything through Optimus' optics like Emporer Zurg in Toy Story 2?

One of the greatest pics ever(and I'm not even a Prime nut):

One thing: Why does Voyager class Prime get two cool looking rifles that can clip onto his front for some firepower in vehicle mode, and leader class Prime gets a little pistol?

It's not a little pistol actually, it's his arm. It doesn't translate well into plastic, but in the movie, his entire forearm becomes a BFG of doom.

From what i can gather from the Ryan's amazing gallery, he has a Forearm weapon, and a gun that attaches to his arm, but is infact removable.

I like this figure, as long as I don't think of it as 'Optimus Prime' nor a transformer. Really digging the truck, as always (but I still don't think it's Prime enough). Using the fuel tanks as battery compartments is a great idea.

I couldn't care less about the lights and sounds (not worth sacrificing an interior complete with Peter Cullen figure!). Glowing tits and maybe some horn honks aren't that cool in my book.

The automorph thing looks FAIL to me. Pulling a switch to pop up his head? That's actually pretty handy (though hardly 'advanced')! But having the switch split up his chest, one of the only G1 parts of the figure?? That's a punk move. Is there a way to keep the head up and keep the windshields together that doesn't involve opening the chest and screwing around?

Now that I've looked at every picture of that gallery, things I overlooked have killed my enthusiasm. Last time I looked at the gallery, I liked the figure even though I didn't want to, know I don't like it even though I'm trying to.

I really think they should have ball-jointed the head. What's the point of having light-up eyes if he can't look forward nor up due to what looks like backheaviness?

Oh well. I'll drop the 70 bucks on a kickass Lego set instead.

The gun is detachable to deter breakage. Nothing else. That is indeed his forearm BFG of doom.

I think today is the biggest traffic day that we've ever had on the site because of this gallery. It's not as big of a day as I had hoped, but it's certainly close enough. I think we're going to hit around 390,000 pageviews for today. Our previous record was when I posted a gallery back in January of diablien's prototype of Voyager class Starscream. I think we hit around 378,000 pageviews on that day. :D
