If you're looking for a G1 Optimus Prime figure as close to perfection as possible, you won't be disappointed. This set has it all, but for the sake of being even-handed I've listed the pros and cons so that you can make up your own mind: Pros: - Cartoon accuracy - Optimus looks like he stepped straight out of the 80s cartoons which will bring back pleasant nostalgic memories for some of us older Transformer fans. The detailing is exceptional right down to the painted sky blue eyes which is a nice touch missing from the Takara version. (10/10) - Playability - This set is full of features from his trailer which opens to form a battle station to store his blaster and axe, to the matrix of leadership which can be stored in his chest, and let's not forget roller. Also, if you purchase a few of the smaller masterpiece Autobot vehicles like Prowl or Hot Rod, you can store one of them in the trailer. Really does have all the features one could ask for in a masterpiece set. (10/10) - Transformation - Whilst his transformation may be slightly tricky for younger children, I found the instructions easy to follow and the process relatively simple when compared to some other Masterpiece figures. (9/10) - Durability - Apart from his thumb which will detach if too much pressure is applied when closing his hand, I found that everything else holds together very well. Whilst some would argue that he's designed as a display piece, not a children's toy, there's no reason why he can't be both unless your primary concern is keeping him in pristine display condition. (9/10) Cons: - Price - Depending on when you were able to acquire him, he can be quite pricey. I personally feel I got a bargain but I still paid over $200 which isn't exactly cheap. However, bear in mind you're getting a near perfect prime. Overall verdict - 9/10 If you want the closest you can get to the perfect Prime and you're not too concerned about the price, this is the set for you.Read full review

The product is very well made, and almost looks as the Optimus Prime of the G1 cartoon. and has almost the size of a Barbie. The trasformation really needs the instructions, at least until you're familiar how to transform it. The only odd things about it is that different to MP-1 Optimus Prime, the Matrix doesn't open and the blue part of the legs are shorter, making its proportions looks odd. The truck is also well made, but is a shame that it doesn't have the launcher for roller as their G1 original.

If you want an Optimus Prime that look as good in vehicle mode as it does in robot mode look no further. Extremely posable, well balanced and very robust. Looks like he jumped straight out of the cartoon. The trailer is also a great accessory with roller spike and repair bay. Great fun to transform and very involving. Weapons store discreetly the gun can go in the trailer or can be folded up and put in his back. Next to no back pack apart from gun compartment. Not suitable for children under the age of 10 in my opinion.

Good masterpiece, though some of the crane joints are really loose.
