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.

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!

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!

Be an Optimist Prime, don't be a Negatron!

I know that this comment is very common for this item but for me as a huge Transformers G1 and LEGO fan, this LEGO set was something I was dreaming during my childhood! The Figure and Truck looks awesome and I hope so that you will create at least Soundwave, Bumblebee... Unfortunatelly I have to mention that stability of this set is very debatable... If you want to move figure leg part with the red light brick is always disassembles, if you want to place Ion Blaster in Optimus hand, hand has an issue to keep the position and hand is falling down... I do not have an issue to change it into a truck like lot of fans and it is acceptable (not more) for me.
LEGO please add an option to choose SERBIA in the country list for Write a Review section.

Breaks whenever you transform
on August 30, 2025
Posted by: BigDyl4970
Verified Purchase:No
I’m extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with this set. I’ve purchased many lego sets before, including others with “moving parts” (technic vehicles, star wars ships, etc.) and this set is by far the flimsiest. For a set that is literally designed to transform between vehicle form and figurine, you would think there would be more thought put into the strength of the pivot points. The waist breaks nearly every time you try to pivot it between forms, and several pieces are always falling off (“lights” above feet, etc.). If there was ever a set that i’d actually recommend just krazy gluing, it would be this one. Overall build quality is just poor and for the price, very unfortunate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Flimsy - do not try to transform
on February 3, 2023
Posted by: StrongDuck045
If by transform, Lego meant "falls apart the minute you touch it", then they nailed it. It's not bad looking and I was skeptical of its ability to actually transform and I was right. It's barely held together at the waist, so it just breaks the minute you try to move it. As a piece to put on a shelf, it's fine. Except, his head is very, very tiny.

Optimus should be able to transform smoothly. Some rebuilding might be needed. Make sure all the parts are tightly pressed together. If you need help with the build, reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV.
