I am a huge Transformers fan and having this as a Lego set is amazing, the build was fun, it looks great once all together and it's nice on display. I just wish the arms would stay up after putting the gun and axe on the arms. They stay up for like anywhere from a few hours to maybe a couple of days but as time passes they just slowly drop back down.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This set was a great time to build. it wasn't too difficult and when it was finished it looked exactly like the original G1 toy. I only hope that in the near future they release a lego trailer as well as more lego transformers to go along with this wonderful set.

The fact that this transforms is impressive!

The build is amazing. I can not believe how detailed this model is. The fact that it transforms without disassembly and reassembly is amazing! This is a must for fans of the original series and anybody that enjoys intricate and functional builds!

My son is absolutely obsessed with Legos and Transformers, specifically Optimus Prime (my daughter LOVES BumbleBee ;) ) and he cannot stop looking and playing with this. His smile is so so so big. It’s amazing that he can transform too!! My daughter will be patiently waiting for BumbleBee hopefully!!

Prime looks great

This was a fun build. I like that he transforms. There is a down fall. When you move his legs, the mid section comes apart. When you rotate him, you can take the upper section off. It's not contacted. With those issues. It's still a great piece. Transforms like g1 prime does. Lego did a great job. Would like to see primes trailer and Soundwave with cassettes.

“Until the day, till all are one.”

I love and hate you at the same time, Lego team. I love the fact that you’ve managed to put two things that I love, one being a hobby and the other I use too watch growing up-Legos and transformers. I hate that fact that I keep underestimating that you, as a company, think you’ll run out of ideas, or fans will. I think I’ve seen everything and then this pops up on my screen. Knocked this one out of the park…again.
I didn’t have any real issues with it. The only critique I had was on the eyes of Prime. I kinda wished that there was more detail, the blue in his eyes. It signifies the Autobots as the red eyes signify the Decepticons. Other than that-great build. Keep the transformer line going.
This build was knocked out of the park

Excellent engineering!

Personally, I think this it one of the best Lego ideas ever! It's a robot that turns into a truck and it's made of Lego bricks! :) The design is excellent and it matches the original toy design very accurately, down to how the parts move when transforming. Though like with many Lego sets, there are some piece that fall off if you play with it. In this case, it's the pieces above the foot.
I also like the accessories: sure, the "energon cube" is just some purple bricks, but it's a nice addition. I'm a little surprised by the rocket backpack because even the instruction manual says it was only used once in the TV series.
