Disappointed
on June 13, 2022
Posted by: Andres
Was very excited when I saw that this was going to be available but disappointed once I put it together. First off the color of the pages of the instruction booklet did not go well with the blue colored bricks. It hurt my eyes trying to figure out which blue bricks were needed. Once completed the robot was a flimsy mess. Pieces kept falling off in particular the rear tail lights that go on the feet. Once you “transform” it into the truck the pieces don’t align too well. Overall it us a fun nostalgia trip but not worth the cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A excited set
on June 11, 2022
Posted by: Bestist
As a Transformers fan, I'm very happy to see them now making lego transformers. Putting it together brought excitement to me, but I feel like the limbs could been done a bit better because the arms kept falling off when trying to adjust it. Overall, I enjoyed it and can't wait for more lego transformers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Looks amazing as robot, but sloppy mess as a truck
on June 11, 2022
Posted by: JeffP
I have to say that 14-year-old me was excited to see the announcement for this, even 30+ years later. The build is pretty straight forward and doesn't take very long. I feel like the axe and the cube and jetpack are kind of filler, but as a robot, Prime looks amazing.
Unfortunately, the transformation is pretty terrible. The hands are flimsy, the torso rocks all over the place, and the "under carriage" around the hips will absolutely fall apart. When it is as a truck, everything fits in a sloppy way. It got worse when my smart 12-year-old tried to transform it. It just isn't meant to be played with. I figured it would be tight like the Voltron set, but it's not even close. Fairly disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Made of STERNER STUFF

I have to say LEGO really blindsided me with this set! I am a big Star Wars and Transformers fan, so each year, I wait in anticipation for new SW sets. But when I saw this set's photos, I could not believe my eyes!
The set overall was a great build. It comes with a nice display piece with the iconic Autobot leader's name on it. And yes, the set TRANSFORMERS!!! Which is fantastic and not too difficult to do. Optimus is posable but limited; however, you can stand him in a few of his infamous poses. Honestly, I have no disgruntles about this set. I would love to get a G1 Megatron with him eventually, but I understand why it is unlikely we'll see him in the future.
Must buy for any transformers fan! I highly recommend!

Awesome Transformation!
on June 10, 2022
Posted by: Hulkaphile
When a Lego build has a more complex transformation than the original G1 toy, you can realize the engineering and thought that went into every detail of this build set.
I know a few people have noted little nitpicky things, but with the build scale of Lego, an exact recreation wouldn't be possible without going to a larger scale build.
My one note would be to make the knees actually bend. Overall, though, a fantastic build and a needed addition for Lego & Transformer collectors alike!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Set!
on June 9, 2022
Posted by: Designer3D712
I love this set! I was missing a piece (top of hand in picture) and already ordered a spare, but with over 300 sets, this only happened twice. Some parts fall off or come loose when transforming so you have to be careful. It also leans forward a little too much, but I really like this set and I'm probably going to buy another to display both modes. I love how you can store the gun and jetpack on the truck in that mode.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your review. The pictures look amazing!
It's rare for a set to miss pieces, but if it does we don't want to keep you waiting long. You've done the right thing by requesting the replacement pieces right away.
If you're having a fidgety experience while transforming your Optimus Prime, we'd recommend to closely follow the steps in the back of the building instructions for the best way to do so. Got any more concerns? Be sure to let our team know at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can look into it.
