Great Model and spot on likeness

Overall this set was well worth the money. The build time was great and the directions were well put together. The fun info about Optimus on each page made it worth my time to flip through the book multiple times.
The only negatives were the stickers, while there were only a few, my anxiety and OCD can’t handle it :-) . My biggest complain is the elbow joints. While posing the figure and having Ion Blaster in one hand and Energon Axe in the other, the hands fall to the side. Once posed I would adjust one and then while adjusting the other, the first would fall. Not sure if the pieces in my set are bad or if this an overall issue because of the weight of the accessories.
All in all, I love this. Would just change the elbow joint pieces to be a little tighter so they remain in place.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for letting us know how much fun you had building the Optimus Prime and your feedback about the stickers. Feel free to get in touch with us at LEGO.build/Service-BV about the elbow joint issue. We can't take a chance on giving Megatron any advantage!

My wife loves transformers and loves Lego so this was a fantastic anniversary gift. We loved building it together. I really hope they continue to make more transformers sets. If anyone from Lego is reading this, Shockwave is her favorite.

buy this set if you are a G1 fan

I've always been a super big fan of the G1 Transformers cartoon and this set meets and exceeds any expectations I had of lego and transformers colliding. Definitely worth the price as well having over 1500 pieces and being able to transform it without removing any pieces.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worth the money and brings back memories of watching the show as a kid! The fact that it also transforms makes it even more worth it.

If you were ever a fan of Transformers, this is a MUST HAVE! Build is great, size is perfect, and nothing but nostalgia when it’s all put together! This goes down as a legendary piece to own and looking forward to future of Lego transformers. Maybe Megatron!

Second Childhood Dream
on June 19, 2022

This is a super-cool collaboration, concept & execution. The science behind making this thing work as a functional transformer is still mind boggling but the end result is a SOLID model. The legs in particular are really solid and well worth the two days it took this novice to build it. Glad to have this as part of my collection.
My only gripe is I can’t seem to get the jet pack on and the piece tends to separate at the waist when I try to transform him so I’ve actually yet to get him in vehicle mode as it just gets too frustrating & I’d rather leave well enough alone. I’m not sure if I did something wrong during build or just natural for a Lego. Despite that I totally love it and plan on getting an acrylic case to display it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

You never know when Optimus Prime will need his jetpack or to convert, so feel free to get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV and we'll be happy to troubleshoot the build with you!

Finally it is here! My wish cane true!

I wrote to LEGO couple years ago if they would have a transformers LEGO and they said NO! Won’t get into details why, but here we are now with Optimus Lego! Overall I think price and build is fair. Got to understand when they partner with another company they must get a fair share. Design and execution looks great and I want to thank the creators behind it! Now Gundam needs to partner up with Lego!
