Optimus Prime Reviews
The Brothers Brick
“For LEGO fans, this high-end, fully transformable mech is a worthy and relatively unique building experience with a decent selection of new parts and old parts in new colors. For Transformers fans, I don’t see how you can possibly live with yourself if you pass this up.”
Brick Fanatics
“Prime is an iconic character that has made for an iconic toy – to this day he has had the highest number of toys of any Transformers character, while anyone growing up in the 1980s and early 1990s will instantly recall the shape and design of that very first iteration,... More perhaps in part unwittingly so thanks to its mold being re-used dozens of times over the years that followed an original 1984-85 run on toy shelves.”
Jays Brick Blog
“Whoever thought that LEGO and Hasbro would work together to craft a G1 Optimus Prime made out of LEGO bricks, but here we are. In many ways, despite having built the set, I’m still in some form of disbelief that this is actually a thing. Transformers and LEGO fans, you’re in... More for an absolute treat. Yes, it transforms. Yes, it’s a G1 Optimus Prime, and yes, this is going to be one of the best-selling toys of 2022.”
