More Than Meets the Eye
I spent 5 HRS building it since I want to cherish the building process.. it reminds me when I was watching G1 episodes wishing that I have an Optimus Prime toy... now that I can afford it.. after soo many years.. I was able to build my own Optimus Prime.. I'll get another one since the one I have is intended to be displayed with my Lego Collection.. these are my feedbac...

Really annoyed
I am seriously dissapointwd with this set. This thing costs £150 pounds yet hold together horribly. Pieces fall off constantly and I've had 2 instances of the whole model breaking in half and 1 of these times the upper half completely broke. From a company who's slogan is "Only the best is good enough" I can't believe I paid so much money for it. It looks really good on...

The worst design
Really, if you can't design something well with lego, then don't. This garbage is so fragile that as long as you touch it, it'll disassemble into pieces. Transform? Are you kidding me? It barely stands as a statue.

Awesome crossover, frustrating design.
The legs pop off easily. I wish you could pose the legs and torso differently, you have to keep it in the same position which puts the chest at a weird angle, if you try to adjust it, it'll fall apart at the hip area.

Love this one, but.....
First - the pictures of the dark blue and black pieces on the dark gray paper were VERY hard to see. More light gave it glare. REALLY difficult.
Many of the pictures didn't make clear exactly where
something was supposed to go.
Love the look of the finished product. After all the reviews, we're pretty nervous about transforming it. We'll get there - just going to enjoy...

I liked it, it just can't stay together
The actual build is great, it's got great posablility, looks awesome, and is very accurate to source material. However the connections aren't very strong when transforming. I'd say the set is pretty worth it, the only issue is the transformation process.

Excellent set
This is a great set. I'm so glad I picked it up. Can't wait for more sets in the same Transformer theme.

This is the set I have been waiting for
This set is the set for all transformers fans. Of course there is the flaws of the 1/2 gap on the face and the no knee joint situation, but if you know how to do it, you can easily get that done. That's what I did (see the images below) absolutely perfect for you giant robots display

Great but not sure about the jet pack
Loved building Optimus Prime. Like most reviews I too was reliving my childhood. the jet pack just doesn’t seem to fit the build. Might have been an error on my behalf but for the life of me I can’t see where I’ve made an error on the build.

Very well executed
Looks great as both semi and robot, and transforms! Only criticism is that he's a little weak at the waist, which can disconnect during play or transformation. Overall though a great achievement! Bring on more G1 Transformers please!

Lego could have done better
I bought this kit and was excited. Paid $180 for it and later found a kit on an other site that was almost double the amount of parts, a better build, and at a lower price. That is how the LEGO Optimus Prime should have been. I am disappointed.

Digital instructions
The digital instructions leave some to be desired if I expanded this screen to see better I could not scroll to the bottom of the pictures

Very cool
One of my favorite sets it combines my love of Lego and of Transformers. Optimus being able to transform is great. Only downside is that fact he can fall apart if your a little to rough with him.
