It’s a Cool Figure but not fun to play with
on September 27, 2024
Posted by: Lego man
Verified Purchase:No
Like in the title if you’re buying this to just put it on a shelf this is definitely for you but if you’re like me and like to play with them from time to time this isn’t for you. This Lego breaks apart from every direction from his hips to his chest this figure is just not fun to play with. Half of the time you’re just putting it back together. And I know people will say just super glue it but I’m not a big supergluer, but for this figure I will have to super glue these parts together, for it to actually stay together.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a toy to play with
on December 7, 2024

Verified Purchase:No
We are disappointed with this one... as my son likes to play with the models. They are not meant to be just built and then sit on some self...
The truck version is fine, but the bot itself has a major issue with insufficient support for the middle part. The upper part and bottom part of the figure disconnect all the time when we try to play with it.
The same mechanism is used for models that carry less weight like Lego 71738 and it works. But this model is just too heavy for a solution like this 🤷♀️
We are really sorry to see that Lego is building models only to be built and displayed, not to be really played with 😥
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this set!
on June 6, 2022

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

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.

My most favorite lego set
on June 8, 2022
Posted by: RefinedJay030
I grew up with legos and transformers and seeing both company’s make this set just made me happy and I’ve seen a lot of reviews on this set and overall I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews. I’ve seen a lot of people argue that it doesn’t have knees but as a builder who’s built alot of mechs I know that if it had knees the set would fall over due to the weight. Overall this set it awesome and I would have to recommend buying it.

Fun bit of nostalgia
on June 9, 2022
Posted by: DrSeussFreak
The build was quite fun, and it looks great, and plays pretty well. Transforming him is a bit clumsy at first, and I've had to rebuild. The waist a few times due to my own errors.
I will also call out that there does exist a free build on rebrickable that transforms the waist/bumper onto a ball joint, making it so you don't have to take anything off. I didn't create it, but it is excellent!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a lot of fun with this set and its an awesome display piece. However one of the transparent window pieces in his chest came in a wrong color in the box i got (3 are transparent the other one is solid black).

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!
