I love Lego and Transformers so much so when I heard the rumors of Optimus Prime I was super excited. I am very fortunate to have this new set and it was a great experience! The legs were very boring to build but besides that I had a blast. I hope in the future we can expect a Megatron.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome set
on June 9, 2022
Posted by: Demongles
My Optimus Prime was delivered a few days earlier which is awesome since Lego said to expect delays. The set has some awesome detail, I love gen 1. It could be a little cheaper, but I highly recommend this set!

Difficult transformation

Beautiful set but falls apart every time it’s changed.

That's very strange and shouldn't be happening! If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help!

Looks nice, but be careful
on January 25, 2023

Looks nice, but has a few serious structural design flaws. The head pops off if you look at it the wrong way and the waist has separated on me twice, leading to rebuilds that took an hour+ each. If you get it, I advise build it, take some pictures, put it on a shelf and never touch it again.

Falls Apart When Moved
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: Alex
I am satisfied with the end result of the set (looks wise), but transporting and transforming this set is an absolute nightmare. Anytime you try to move a part of the figure it ends up falling off or causing something else to break apart. Doesn't transform like it should, needs to be more robust.

Missing pieces
on December 29, 2023
Posted by: DirectorGoodChipmunk
Overall this was a nice build and it's transforming ability is great. I was very disappointed however that my set was missing four pieces, the most I have ever experienced. This really detracted from the experience and I was only able to poorly substitute three of the pieces with ones I had of similar size and shape. Those really stand out from the distinct color scheme. The fourth piece is one of the silver ones on a gas tank and I have nothing to put there so is just a gap. Lego is a premium product that usually delivers a premium experience. The most missing pieces I had previously experienced were one from two much larger sets but usually they are all present. I hope this specific set was an anomaly in terms of there having been four pieces missing.

Love this set!
on June 6, 2022
Posted by: Jason
As a lifetime Lego builder and childhood Transformer fan this set was a must have. If you don't transform it correctly pieces may come loose or fall off but that really comes down to user error. I had little to no issue with the transformation process when done as intended. Overall it was a satisfying build and I hope we get more Transformer sets in the future, preferably as close to scale with Optimus Prime as possible (so no 14 inch tall Bumblebee please).
I would recommend this to a friend!

An amazing collaboration
on June 6, 2022
Posted by: Chiefmasterbeast
An amazing version of Optimus Prime that feels right. I got emotional while building it - two of my favorite childhood toys, Lego and Transformers, in one package. The transformation is very reminiscent of the original toy. The building of it was quick, and lots of mirrored building. It's also designed for display more than play, and that's fine. Eitherway, I'm very impressed and happy with this product.
