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?

Couldn't have said it better myself.

BEST PRIME EVAR

Articulation is surprisingly good.
He does blend in well with the other Primes.
Awesome gallery!

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.

I have been praying for this day a long time-the movie and all its assosiated bit offically rock!

I've been thinking about that for a while, too.

Thanks, Mulla!
I have posted the new Beast Wars galleries as of this morning as well which you can view from the toy section.

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

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? j/k

This is convincing me to buy the leader class. Very cool figure!

Fantastic gallery Ryan, and one of the most spectacular transformations I've seen in quite a while! Roll on June!

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.

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

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?

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.

not sure if this has been asked before but what is the difference between the Hasbro Movie Leader Class OP & the one that is going to be released by TakaraTomy (MA-01)?
