Cyberverse Optimus Prime AWP Review Part 2



As the Part 1 review featured here shows only Optimus Prime without its trailer, this part of the review will be focused on the trailer and its combination with OP itself.

Vehicle Mode:



The proportions of the trailer to Optimus is top notch for this Commander class figure as it still looks stunning in its size. Transformation is a breeze with the trailer and the details are quite standard i would say for Prime's trailer.

Trailer Assault Vehicle Mode:


Honestly, this looks like a robot from an old science fiction movie when its standing on its own. It's "Legs" are a bit flimsy as the weight on the hands are a bit too much for it to handle. However, it stands up and is balanced very well after combining with Optimus Prime. Must be its designed to be that way huh. ^^

 Trailer Battle Base Mode:




Battle base mode really shows the details on the trailer itself as its all "folded out" in this form. I like the missile launcher posed this way rather than the ones showed in the manual which is opposite to the way i positioned it. Must be because i found a useful mech port location there.

Combined Mode:







Combination of the two is fairly easy as it uses the simply clip joints for connection, however, some degree of force would be required for it be snapped into place. The hands connects well to its "extended" arms and can some slight articulation as well. Not bad indeed!

Details:
Triple rocket launcher??

Grappling arm

Buster Arm


Kinda looks like the Macross Quarter doesn't it? 

Action Poses:


Well we didn't get to see this on film did we? (Trailer been smacked aside doesn't count)








Overall, this figure does very well and its well worth its price. With an addition approx RM30 compared to its Jetwing counterpart, i believe this is a better bargain and offers much more playability. With that said,

Cyberverse Optimus Prime AWP Review


My first Transformers DOTM figure is none other than the Cyberverse Optimus Prime Armored Weapons Platform (AWP). This little figure looked well designed and the accessories (the trailer) makes it a worthwhile collection compared to the Cyberverse Jetwing Optimus Prime. This line of Commander Class figures are so far the best as the transformation and details are up a degree compared to its predecessor, the Legend Class. And upon looking back at those transformers manual of the past, it could easily be a deluxe figure that time.

Vehicle Mode:




The plastic quality is standard and of cause better than those G1 encore series which are very much like those toys sold in "pasar malam" (no offence ^^). Parts are also very well concealed in this alternate mode which is pretty good. No hot burning blames included though.


Robot Mode:




Some neat details on the tiny figure:


Action poses:


The robot mode is very sturdy and have tight joints for such a figure. Though the transformation gimmick is not like those in the deluxe class and above, it does pays homage to the original G1 Optimus Prime in terms of "transformation style". Overall a great commander class figure however playability could be increased if they included a rifle/gun for him.
And of cause a humanoid figure will not be completed with a....
