Interesting redesignOctober 13, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A word about the Classic series: The Classic series is a modern revisioning of the original toys and characters using modern toy technology and aesthetics. Hence, the toys will invoke the image of the G1 robots and alt modes but you'll find the designs quite different from their older toy counterparts. Nevertheless, the designers put in plenty of references in the toys to entertain the fans of old.
Classic Optimus does a very good job of evoking the image of Prime, both in image as well as in transformation. He has the familiar red & blue color scheme, the Prime style head design, front trailer windows forming the chest, arms formed from the sides of the truck, and rear towing part becoming the legs. There are of course a few differences such as Prime's lower abdomen not being the lower front of the truck as well as the design of his guns. (The gun formed from the weather vane looks more suited for Ultraman than Optimus) Thanks to modern toy designs, Classics Optimus has much more limb articulation than his G1 toy counterpart and definitely looks better as well. Although Classic Optimus has no action gimmicks, it's a fairly sturdy toy and should be able to withstand some mild abuse. Although kids can enjoy this toy as well, it's best appreciated by the adult collector with memories of the original G1 toys and cartoons.
I like it a lot.August 17, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I got this last year when I first got into Transformers, I think it was a good choice. Its really poseable, and it's easy to transform. From what I've seen of the original Transformers, Hasbro has done a good job of making it look like the original Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime. The greatest leader in the history of the Autobots. The greatest toy in the history of Transformers? Well... maybe not the VERY best (next to the Masterpiece Prime), but this figure is certainly a very nice addition to anyone's collection at a very affordable price point. Prime stands around 8 inches tall and has excellent detail and articulation. He combines a sweet bot mode with a super sleek vehicle mode for a great overall package of a Transformer. One of the best things about the figure is that all of his weapons store on the figure in both modes; one gun converts into his smokestacks while the other becomes the windsplitter on the roof of the truck. He's a sturdy block of a Transformer; he is very securely constructed and holds his shape well in vehicle mode. Some people have had problems with the panels on the sides of his arms that are the only real bits of kibble leftover from the transformation process, and I'll admit that I wasn't a fan at first (it actually kept me from buying this figure for a long time)... however, I have come to love those panels because they work so well in his alt mode and they can actually be thought of as extra movable armor panels in his bot mode. This Optimus Prime is an excellent Transformer well worth the price!
The images show both robot and vehicle mode (Earth Helicopter). The image of the robot mode shows that Megatron has decent articulation, but unlike the Leader Class version, his cannon cannot be attached to his forearm.

Seibertron.com Reviews Soon To Be Released Glu Mobile 'Tranformers: G1 Awakening' Game Thanks to staff member Stormrider, I was given the chance to make contact with a member of Glu mobile;#x2019;s PR staff, and was able to play a demo of the soon to be released ;#x2018;Transformers: G1 Awakening;#x2019; game for cellular phones. Glu Mobile was very kind and even sent me a compatible phone loaded with the game to play, as they do not currently have a version available for the iPhone.
I was able to spend about a week with the game, wasting many precious hours, staying up until the wee early hours of the morning as I played the addicting game, and tried to experience as much of it as I could before I had to send the demo back....
First off we have Stealth, err, Goldbug... I mean ELITE GUARD BUMBLEBEE by Tamo536. Straight up repaint of the Original Animated Bumblebee, but according to the reviewer the 'stingers' are now able to better fit into the arms...
And also a huge picture montage courtesy of the Japanese Transformers Image Board showing Sentinel in package, with other Elite Guard members, and with the Headmaster unit firmly placed on his shoulders.
Everybody should want to get Sentinel as soon as they can...
