I've been collecting classics/universe Autobots for a while now. I've yet to find a Prime that goes with them, would this be your recommendation or is there something more G1-esque out there I'm not seeing?
Coolest thing about this figure is that you can have him holding a shield. Have one arm set to the reverse side, unfold his cab side flap, and flip up his hand. Insert the top canopy into his hand, and rotate the cab side so the front sticks up over the shield and voila. If you have Shadow commander, he can be holding a pink sword and shield.

I personally think this is how Optimus should have been doon years ago. This version, although Voyager class, is awesome for posing and playing. Aside from the Masterpiece Optimus Prime I believe this is the best version to date.
hey im from the uk and im having trouble trying to get this guy for his normal retail price on uk shopping websites does anyone know were i can get this guy on a uk shopping website for his normal retail price
i got him on ebay, and i also got the nemesis repaint and the nemesis ver of the armor. the armor is very cool, very good plastic tho its better for display (as the parts can be a tiny bit loose on prime) and the gun is a bit awkward. i payed £60 for it (ebay) and its definatly worth it. it adds a lot to the figure.
Guys, you have to check out the video I just did for the Generation 1 accesories to this guy, I was shocked when I found them and the fact that they fit this toy is awesome!!...come see the video and let me know what you think
I just got mine today for Valentines Day from my wife. Noticed something though. Mine has yellow paint on the fore arms where yours doesn't have any paint app.
a grat review, peaugh. i just have a question. how did you mount the rifle at the back of ultra magnus. just got my henkei convoy today. and im trying to figure out how you did that.
Both Classics and Henkei OPTIMUS PRIME have superior mold and excellent poseability. I have them both! How I wish Hasbro or TakaraTomy would release a Classics Trailer... ;-) great review Peaugh! for me, u're the best TF reviewer there is! =)
minor point mainly because I haven't gotten it to fit correctly, but his smokestack gun while unfolded can "sit" in his windvane-backpack to become a "twin shoulder cannon
I never got this when it was out initially..Which means i never felt like i was wasting money on the henkei version, which arrived today, and i love it! Also waiting for my city commander armour set..Ironically, i bought it figuring classics ultra magnus would be easy to find afterwards, but he ended up costing more than the armour, in his two pack with skywarp :/
first off let me say love your reviews man. sweet idea with the q-tips im going to try that cuz like i said in my review i dont like the blue on his shoulders. take care and keep the good reviews comming man!
he kinda grows on me, sure cant wait till prime gets his own trailer, although the city commander armor would probably serve a better purpose than prime's trailer.
Oh, I've got an order in for Animated Magnus, but I have no idea when it's going to ship. I went ahead and listed everything I have on order that I'll be reviewing eventually. The only things currently on the way to me right this instant are Henkei Megatron, Henkei Starscream, and SDCC Universe Nemesis Prime.
Can you have the trailer?
