I really love the set but I wish legos quality control would check all the sets before they got shipped out because I got 2 number 6 bags and no number 9 bag
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Character, Frustrating Experience

Prime has always been one of my favorite Transformers so I was thrilled when he was given the Lego treatment. Unfortunately this has been the worst set for missing parts. And the blue is unique so can't just use any spare brick. Finished it by having to improvise. The completed figure looks amazing and none is the wiser.
I would recommend this to a friend!

(Mostly) More Than Meets the Eye

Optimus Prime is a very good set for a Transformers fan. A little over a foot tall, loaded with accessories, and plenty of trivia in the instructions to go along with the build. Optimus, like any Transformer should, converts from robot to his classic G1 "square-cab" semi truck without the need to disassemble him - something the G1 toy couldn't replicate (you had to remove the hands). Of course, you'd have to switch out the 2x6 tile on his bumper for each mode, but this is negligible. Accessory-wise, you get Optimus' trademark Ion Blaster (which fills the leg gap in truck mode, and with that Technic peghole on the bottom of the gun, makes for a good trailer hitch - get working, MOCists!), his orange Energon Axe (which, I'll admit, kinda makes me think of a pirate's hook hand), an Energon Cube, the all-powerful Matrix of Leadership (Touch not included, but sits in his chest/cab doors thanks to small ball joint cups), and Sideswipe's jetpack used in the 3-part G1 series pilot (which does fill Optimus' back very nicely in robot mode). You even get the standard Lego info-plaque (which with two black Technic pins that were spare parts, I used to store the extra 2x6 bumper plate on the back - thanks, pinholes!)
Of course, Optimus isn't 10 out of 10 in all stats (just like the info-plaque says). The 1x4 section on his feet (the part with the clear red 1x2 tile) tends to pop a bit sometimes in transformation. The instructions tell you to put the stickers on his legs (the 2x6 tiles strike back!) upside-down, but a quick 180 fixes that right up. Optimus does have movable thumbs but his fingers are held together by a 1x3 plate, but whether or not you want to remove that is up to you - if you want articulated fingers, go for it. And be careful when you morph the chest - I tend to find that when I transform him and align the chestplate, over time the 4x4 round brick used for turning the cab around starts to disconnect slightly, but this could just be me being a dumb fleshling (as Megatron would put it - hint, hint Lego!)
Regardless, with the 40th anniversary of Transformers coming soon, I highly recommend any Transformers fan get this guy. Whether or not my review helps is up to you - after all, "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

This is certainly not how we want your icon to stand in robot mode! Let's fix this! Make sure that all pieces are pressed tightly together and double-check your building steps. Our brick experts are always happy to troubleshoot with you at LEGO.build/Service-BV.
