Great figure, great play value, good articulation, definitely more of the updated look compared to the g1 optimus prime. What more can I say about classic optimus than, he's Optimus Prime.
Worth a buy. Detailed very nicely and close the the G1. This is an outstanding figure. Worth having for any collector out there.
If you could only get one I would definetly recommend this one its a must have Great Toy, Fantastic durabiliy. Articulation is awesome.
Although Classic Optimus has no action gimmicks, it's a fairly sturdy toy and should be able to withstand some mild abuse. There are of course a few differences such as Prime's lower abdomen not being the lower front of the truck as well as the design of his guns. (The gun formed from the weather vane looks more suited for Ultraman than Optimus) Thanks to modern toy designs, Classics Optimus has much more limb articulation than his G1 toy counterpart and definitely looks better as well. A word about the Classic series: The Classic series is a modern revisioning of the original toys and characters using modern toy technology and aesthetics. Although kids can enjoy this toy as well, it's best appreciated by the adult collector with memories of the original G1 toys and cartoons. Nevertheless, the designers put in plenty of references in the toys to entertain the fans of old.Classic Optimus does a very good job of evoking the image of Prime, both in image as well as in transformation. Hence, the toys will invoke the image of the G1 robots and alt modes but you'll find the designs quite different from their older toy counterparts. He has the familiar red & blue color scheme, the Prime style head design, front trailer windows forming the chest, arms formed from the sides of the truck, and rear towing part becoming the legs.
From what I've seen of the original Transformers, Hasbro has done a good job of making it look like the original Optimus Prime. I got this last year when I first got into Transformers, I think it was a good choice. Its really poseable, and it's easy to transform.
