Presenting The Ultimate Optimus PrimeBad jokes aside, Hasbro makes three very bold claims with the Ultimate Optimus Prime
. 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.
I purchased this particular Ultimate Optimus Prime
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).
I'm sure you've already seen the film, then you know that despite the hype with Michael Bay holding this particular figure, Ultimate Optimus Prime
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.
