From my point of view these is an accurate version of Optimus Prime. The Robot mode keeps these toy shines on all aspect. The head, the shoulders, the chest it is definitely an accurate version of the famous G1. The only noticeable difference is the knee pads it has 3 dotted lines on both knee pads where in the original cartoons doesn’t have. Also the whole design of the legs is somewhat different from G1 but it doesn’t matter as long as half of it was accurate these is the best affordable version of Prime. Most of the toy is made from a hard plastic. There is hardly no die cast parts on these one except from some screws but that doesn’t count. Details are really superb. Articulation is top notch I like the whole body rotating punch action when you push the black button on the back of Prime.

These Prime is actually a kneeler and he sure pass the high kick balance test and he can also actually do the splits but almost. These Prime is somewhat different from the voyager class of Transformers Classic and it is small like it is in par with a 1/144. Also the noticeable part is his gun. The gun here resembles like of a Tommy gun. The Gun of Optimus Prime can also be transformed into some kind of small gun that can be put on the back of Prime when he is on a truck mode. The transformation from robot mode to truck mode is relatively and you can easily follow the instruction manual without a hitch.

While on the alternate mode of Prime I think the truck mode is average not really an accurate version of the old Prime. The truck is more like of a crane less tow truck rather than a real bad ass truck. The truck is long compare to the old version. You can hardly see some seats inside the window of Prime. There are hardly some oddly miss proportions on the cab of the truck mode. The wheels firmly touch the ground and it rolls very well no miss proportion. The truck mode is somewhat detailed to its form.

In conclusion to the review if you want to have an accurate version of Prime this one is very affordable. By the way these Prime comes from a two pack deluxe called Leader for the Ages. Two Primes for the prize of one. These Prime is classified as a 1984 release while the other Prime that comes from the Deluxe is the 2007 Optimus Prime from the live action movie. I only review these Prime because I like the accurate version of it. I bought these one from Greattoysonline and it cost around 1500.

The only reason why I bought these is because it is cheap compared to the other Prime deluxe the other one that I was talking about is with Megatron it cost around 2000 plus. So I opted out for the cheaper ones. This is highly recommended if you want to have two Primes at once and it was really cheap too.
