Wait a slagging minute, marked down TO about $70? It's more than the price of a leader figure at the size of a voyager? Are you guys really going to buy that? I'd rather get leader class bumblebee than pay that price for this!

Bah, damn kids these days and their money and MTV and skate boards. *mutter mutter*

Free shipping to home, too.

IDK, might just get it for the alt mode, although I swore it off

I want this. Yeah, it seems to be a brick, but some of the biggest, coolest TFs ever are bricks. This guy would look fantastic next to God Ginrai, and maybe Star Convoy. I might be able to needle my wife into letting me buy him, but maybe I'll wait. $70 is a lot of money for a single toy, cool as it may be.

It looks like the elbows and knees get disabled w/ the armor added one, I wonder if it could be modded to allow more articulation. Sounds like a challenge!

EDIT- I don't recall seeing comparison pics of this guy with the regular Voyager Optimus, could someone point me to them if I missed them?

well, he DOES just sort of slip into it, it's practically a mech suit.
so im just gonna ask. can you put battle blades prime in there or not? Pics are appreciated!
I just hate the scrawney look of that prime! the truck fists and oddly placed backpack and practically protoform legs just rub me wrong. but it's combined mode is BEAST! It is articulated, and it's huge! HUGE!
the trailer is like I said, a mech suit. It stands on it's own without prime in it. so thats why I'm wondering what i'm wondering!

It looks like Dragonfly Prime >.>

I'm not alone here, am I? He looks like a bug with that trailer attached.

cool i expect to be able to find this brick n mortar like Leader class not one parents will be excited to spend this much moola for. If I decide I want it, Human Alliance has my attention the most as well as some Takara prods as far as DOTM goes

i couldnt resist wow 64.95 for popeye prime to bad i dont like it or buy it good price for those of them who do

Ya know, the more I see this particular Prime WITHOUT his armor, the more it makes me want a similiar trailer made to fit ROTF Prime.

I like it but there's no way I'm gonna buy it until it's marked down. The robot alone is smaller than a leader and he doesn't have a weapon in that mode.

I'll take one! Thanks Walmart.com!!!

It either this or the LOTR EE on Blu Ray, I chose this

That is a really good price but it isn't enough to talk me into this figure.

I honestly think this figure looks like ass. Not interested. ROTF leader Prime is just fine.

The combined mode looks okay, but by himself, the OP fig looks barely worthy of voyager class.

The kids will definitely find it easier to transform him as opposed to the leader class ROTF OP, but I do wonder if parents will pay that kind of money for it. If I ever buy this, it'll be strictly for my cousin's kids.

I'm opting for the dual model kit and Jetwings OP.

BURNING FINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To ugly, to small, to overpriced, just like every thing else in the DOTM toyline.

I Ordered it too about a half hour ago. free standard shipping to my house was a steal of a deal that I couldn't pass up.

I paid about $68 for mine.

So perhaps,since my USA state has a 6 percent sales tax. walmart.com is charging the sales tax rate that everyone's individual USA state offers.

Internet sales tax is calculated on the shipping address.

I'm determined that once I get this figure in hand that I can make it look kick ass. I think we've just had some very poorly posed/transformed pics of it so far.

I agree

I plan to try to pose the trailer wings downward to give the angel wings a cape appearance

Just placed an order for Ultimate Prime and the Ark play set.

I would have bought the DOTM Ark it it transformed into a Sentinent robot mode.

At 65 bones, this actually makes me consider it. I've been looking at it all wrong, always focusing on the robot mode with the combined mech mode as a bonus, when i should have been looking at the robot mode as the bonus. Hmmm... Man, I'm getting it

This fig wont move too fast on the shelves..That pricetag to the average consumer buying toys for their kids is gonna keep em away, I'll wait on this one. See what the customizing community can come up with and inspire me

Still want the Takara prime though...

People said the same thing about ROTF Devastator and at least in my area the damn thing kept flying off the shelves...

In my area & the 20+local stores(walmart,target,tru,kmart) that I visit. ROTF Supreme Devestator as a major shelf warmer. their were literally pallets upon pallets of this toy that didn't sell.

stores in my area months/year later had to take drastic steps by doing a major clearance & selling the ROTF supreme devestator for under $30 just to get rid of it.

I didn't care for this toy. I bought & prefer the legends ROTF Devestator combiner better that walmart in america sold as a store exclusive.

trash

Makes me reminisce back to the good ole' days of Energon Optimus Prime.

I'd be able to afford this, but I just entered an auction for G2 Bruticus. Eh, it's probably better than this. I'm not upset at all.

Cool as the figure looks, do they expect us to pay $40-50 just for the trailer?? If it was a LEADER CLASS with trailer I was ready to pay $90 for it. Voyager $20 plus $50 for a trailer that serves ONE function???? I think I will pass till its $40. LOTR EE and Warriors Way here I come!!

Dammit! I want it now. I guess I was just looking at him wrong.
But I'll wait for it to go on sale at Christmas and ask someone to get it for me.

Just got this beast in today from Walmart.com and I dont care what you guy's think, this thing is F@#%in great!!! And the wife tried to hide him from me....hahahahahahahaaaaa...but really this toy is great. Once you get this thing in your groubie hands you'll know what I mean!!! My problem is im a MIB collector(some of the good one I open but not all) and I really, really, really want to take him out(and I know I might cause Im thinking about gettin another)but will wait....

Transformers is my first love, but i collect other toys also and model kits(zoids and gundam) so room is my biggest problem

I just got my DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime delivered to me from Fedex a few minutes ago.

the toy comes in a huge box. the box measurements are 16 by 14 by 6 inches deep.

The trailer wings & pointed downward like a cape inside the box. this is probably how i'm going to be displaying this toy in combined robot mode. I'm not a fan of the angel/buterfly upward wings that are posed on the back of the box.

the toy inside the box comes already in combined super robot mode. with a beyond huge mech tech weapon on the right side of the robot inside the inner box.

I just measured the combined robot mode inside the box from head to toe & it measures exactly 12 & 1/2 inches tall.

the mech tech weapon is huge,I measured it & it measures around 8 & 1/2 inches long.

YEAH,THE combined robot mode has a super tiny pin/under sized/small robot head. which makes the whole thing look awkward.

THEIR is a outer helmet that is attached to the mech tech weapon. So i'm most likely going to un-screw the outer helmet & try to place it over the tiny robot head. hopefully I can get something decent looking & similar to the energon leader sized optimus primes combiner outer helmet.

In a couple of days,I'm going to be doing a few u-tube videos on this toy. mainly trying to show what other reviewers of this toy didn't yet.
(1)like how poseable the toy is in combined robot mode. (2) trying to un-screw the robot head outer helmet on the mech tech weapon. then placing the outer helmet on the tiny robot head & seeing if it fits into place without the mech tech weapon attached. (3)doing a few size comparisons with other TF toys in all 3 modes of this dotm toy.
(4) measuring the smaller non-combining ultimate optimus robot mode. and letting everyone know exactly how many inches tall the robot is from head to toe.

Two things is this thing bigger than Omega Prime and second can anyone comment on what to expect for DA-28 DX Redecoration Leader Optimus Prime?

For those that own him, he looks pretty easy to transform. I HATE my RotF Prime, because he's a pain. Is this figure pretty simple? He reminds me of RiD Prime.

From the videos I've seen he looks really simple for a Ultra class figure. My only problem is that he doesn't have a weapon for this particular mode.

Just ordered the ARK!

Ult. OP is "not available at this time" and full price of $79.96

My ultimate OP and Ark arrived a couple of days ago, which was really fast! I used site-to-store shipping and they got it there in about 5 days. Haven't had a chance to open OP yet, maybe this afternoon.

Asmuch as I hate to say it Im gonna have to cut offmy DOTM purchasing for awhile..Or at least until they figure out what size the wreckers are going to be (deluxe or HA) Tooooo much 3rd party goodness coming out to plop down cash on a UOP..

Yes Transformers Dark of the Moon Ultimate Optimus Prime is back at Walmart.com for USD 65.
Click here to order the largest Optimus Prime of all time for only $65!
Should you not be sure if he's worth your 65 dollars, well why not check out seibertron.com's gallery of the toy by clicking the below image?

I had a 20% off coupon at TRU so it ended up being $68 with tax.

Havent opened it yet as I am still undecided. Plus its so damn big I cant really put it anywhere until I finish my basement.


I figure I can always return it if I change my mind.

Lower price or not, this figure is absolute pants.

HasBLO should have brought us Jetwing Optimus Prime in the States, because, you know, that version ACTUALLY APPEARED IN THE FRAKKIN' MOVIE.

Stupid bugbot piece of crap. Oh well.

He is not that bad as everybody makes him .No not the best ,i just ordered "Hunt for the Decepticons " Leader Class Prime ,for half off and free shipping from Amazon he is the best Bayimus Prime .I can't get him (Ultimate ) right now ,but i will buy him WAY BEFORE any 3rd party stuff . I don't get it ,maybe a matter of taste .

The more I see this sculpt, the more I come to like it. It's really grown on me recently. If I could, I'd definitely buy just the cab of this. I love it in vehicle mode, and so-so like it in robot mode, though it still beats the crap out of Voyager Prime's bot mode.

Yeah cause, there's absolutely no way that Hasbro can ever even hope to release him release Jetwing Prime. Ever.

Then explain his appearance in a Hasbro cabinet at the recent toy show

That's nice. I can get it for my 12 year old for Christmas for less, so when he brakes it, I won't cringe. LOL!!!

I Agree with user897,The DOTM Ultimate optimus prime is a horrible toy.

I don't speak from on-line pics experience. I speak from a point of view of actually owning the toy then returning it.

I Bought the Dotm ultimate optimus prime toy on-line a month+ago when walmart.com first put it up for sale on their web site.

I transformed the toy for a few hours,played with all the parts & so forth.

Lucklily I was able to print out a Receipt from Walmart.com. then I was able to return the DOTM ultimate optime prime toy at my nearest walmart store for a 100% refund & get my money back. I certainly wasn't going to be stuck with this & be out $67+dollars.

the thing I hated/loathed most about this toy was the awful over sized beyond huge mech tech weapon. it's too be,heavy & further ruins the look of a already horrible toy.

second the robot head is too tiny & looks even more tiny in combined robot+trailer super robot mode.

third,if your looking for a new age decently poseable super robot mode,then this toy fails on all accounts.

fourth,this thing reminds me of armada leader sized optimus prime who wears a brick for pants.

FIFTH,All the extra doo dads & whatever further ruin this toy. why exactly did the toy need 2 yellow things next to each side of the robot head. is he picking up satelight tv/radio.

Sixth,again the mech tech weapon doesn't store properly on to the robot back pack. thanks to the weapon being too heavy & all the connector ports being to weak/loose.

Seventh,IMHO,Only get this toy if you want to throw out/storage the trailer & display the toy in smaller $27 usa ultra sized robot mode. as the smaller robot mode is leaps & bounds better than the 2007 voyager & HFTD 2009 Voyager sized optimus prime toy. Honestly this is the best smaller sized movie verse optimus prime toy if you don't like leader sized toys.

Personally,this toy is epic failure as it's got so many negatives & very few positives. to make matters worse,this super robot mode wasn't even featured in the DOTM Movie.

Why exactly did hasbro give us this brick piece a thrash instead of the DA-15 Jetwing optimus prime toy. Jetwing was featured in the DOTM Movie.

I trully hope & pray hasbro releases the takara DA-15 dotm jetwing optimus prime as a Toys R Us store exclusive.

To everyone who keeps complaining about this OP version not being in the movie, if I remember correctly every movie line has had figures that aren't in that movie. Look at all the repaints we get of figures, game based figures, non-transforming vehicles modes, ever buy any of those? Yes, Ultimate OP is a brick but it's a kickass brick and like all figures it's not perfect. I felt like a kid again when I got mine this week and I'll feel the same way if JetWing OP ever has a USA release. Look at the gallery here on this site and others, it will grow on you. It is definitely a great add to my collection, especially the OP subgroup.

Yea. It will grow on my 12 year old, I'm sure, but I'm sorry, Jetwing Prime Kills this thing in every possible way. Add a trailer to Jetwing Prime and it is OVER.
