It came from the Toy Chest: Trukk not Munky

Yes boys and girls I HAS an Optimus Prime... a G2 inspired Optimus Prime, but still an Optimus Prime that transforms into a truck.
Let's get on with the review shall we?

As I said this Prime is G2 Inspired... (Holding back my GEEWUN rage) but the G2 toy was pretty cool so I can let that slide... The Bayformer flames on the other hand... I DESPISE Them... Then again I Despise Anything related to the Bayformers movies... (The DOTM Starscream toy seems to be the exception...)

Now unto the ratings part of the review. 1=bad 5=good

Articulation:
As said on other TF reviews, the toys are pretty articulated thanks to their transforming feature.
One tiny tidbit that makes Prime stand out. He can actually do a better Power of Grayskull pose than He-Man! Ouch!
5.0
Paint and sculpt:
The Sculpt is really cool, it looks like a hyperdetailed version of G2 Prime... He even has a Matrix of Leadership sculpted into his chest! The Paint is minimal since most of the parts are molded in the appropriate colors. While I hate the flames, they're well done. My only complaint is that the Sword handle is a bit too thick and can leave stress marks on Prime's hand.
4.0
Accessories:
The Sword. It's pretty cool since it transforms into part of the truck. He does not have the Trailer, but that's kind of expected for a $10-$15 figure.
4.5
Overall: 4.5
The thing that had a negative effect on Prime is the Sword Handle being too thick that causes stress marks on the figure's hands. Other than that he's a pretty solid Prime figure that is safe for the kids.
