Transformers Movie Voyager Optimus Prime Review

This guy definitely doesn't look as authentic as the leader class version in robot mode. I'll summarize a few of the bad points for the robot mode:
-The entire front end up of the truck to the roof of the windshield folds up and creates a bulky huge backpack looking feature on his back! The lazy design pretty much slaps you in the face here.
-The front end is re-replicated on his chest even though you can see the windshield from the truck mode on his back. Looks TERRIBLE and is obviously a very, very sloppy design.
-In several places, the figure has parts that sort of float freely. The shoulderpads that don't snap into place and the wheel covers that fold up on his feet come to mind.
-The weapons look fairly strange also. I've always traditionally seen prime with one cannon (even in the movie), but here he has two identical spring loaded guns.
Apart from these bad points, there are some good qualities:
-This version is considerably more durable than the leader class version. There aren't as many small parts involved with the transformation, and the only really fragile parts are on his legs.
-Of all the voyager class figures I've tried, this one's transformation is by far the easiest and least complicated. After a couple tries it should take 20-30 seconds or less to complete the transformation.
-The bulky front-end backpack balances the figure, making him a bit more poseable.
-Truck mode looks decent.
If you want a Prime figure for the kids this wins out over the leader class, but for any collector other than the most meticulous, I'd say this is passable.
