In Transformers that main villain is Megatron the Decepticon tyrannical leader bent on conquering the universe. The 1984 classic cartoon provided much interest in Transformers because of that particular concept. To every Optimus Prime in every Transformer series there’s Megatron to that our hero has to stop no matter the cost. |

Prime has been almost in all reiteration of the series either in comics, animation, movie or video game. For every TransFan there’s one or two Optimus Prime in his/her collection. He was voiced by well known actors, but the most familiar for everyone to remember was Peter Cullen. He provided a father figure-esque personality in this 18-wheeler truck. He was the voice of the live action movie version inspiring the youth and any Sam Witwicky-wannabe. |

When you mesh it together you got two epic but humorous concepts this side where toy collecting is just a part of being a true Transfan. |

from the Transformers Dark of the Moon franchise. I know what you're thinking! "My God! His head is so small!!!" That may be true, but I say "Look at the size of his feet!" and I'm sure you're all green with envy.. There's the name of course "Ultimate", then there's the big violator on the package that says "Biggest Optimus Prime Toy" (THEY'RE NOT TOYS!!!), and there's the Level 3 transformation classification involving the Ultimate Optimus Prime and its three modes - Power Up Mode, Robot Mode and Trailer Mode. duting a Transformers DOTM toy launch courtesy of Toys R'Us at Robinson's Galleria for PhP 5,999.75 (US$ 136.37, surprisingly cheaper on Amazon where it's only US$ 89.99 plus shipping). never appeared in the movie. Ultimate Optimus Prime's trailer did appear and I was actually hoping that it would be as detailed as the trailer in the movie - i.e. LED running blue running lights - but sadly no such luck.
