Great toy, nice poseability with a pretty lame punching gimmick. Made my neighbors jealous Minicon needs some more poseability and the truck could use a little less paint.

Not bad.Decently articulated but his legs have very LIMITED range of articulation.It's a shame because slightly smaller thighs was all that was needed to increase it.The minicon is good but doesn't pass for a targetmaster well.The punching gimmick $ucks

The "punching action" is more impressive if you pose him to look like he's shooting his forearm guns (A la THUNDERCLESE!) but the toy is AMAZING otherwise. A ten if it had been able to punch right, and Over Run were kinda cooler.

I wish 1st Armada OP had this level of articulation! Altho truck doesn't look as impressive, robot mode is better in almost every way. Posability of arms, legs & head is awesome. Punching gimmick is GREAT. Looks a bit small next to other Armada figs.

Easily the best toy released in the Armada line thus far. Poseable, detailed and a lot of fun otherwise. Best apology thus far for the BIG Armada Prime. If this is any indication of where the line is headed then sign me up!

Stellar articulation, looks great in both modes. What other optimus prime toy can you get that is actually a great toy for under $10. I highly recomend. Lost one point b cause I sure would like to see rubbery wheels again. Plastic wheels are cheap.

Compared to the first piece of engineering fiascal; this Prime has high possibility, right level of transformation difficulty for a toy its size, great color scheme, innovative mini-con, and a great price redeems Hasbro of its past mistakes...for now.

An okay Transformer, the best thing going for it? Articulation and the Face mold. Punching action a waste of time. I have to down grade this toy due to the fact that it can only hold 3 mini-cons! Even those extra two have to go on oddly...

I love the figure. It's true to the original O.P. I just don't like when he's standing next to Megatron. He looks like Roddimus next to Galvatron. This would have been a good O.P. to have a matrix included. Otherwise, for the price, you better buy it.

Why can't the rest of armada be like this guy? I compared him to the larger prime, (just the cab)and the only thing better about the larger one is the electronics. Small Prime is great but the punching gimmick is stupid, and his minicon is ok

excellent too bad big optimus wasnt this poseable i like his minicon over run i really dont understand this so called "punching action"?????????

Maybe it's just mine, but his legs won't kick up very far out in front of him. even the big prime could raise his legs like that. form me that was a bit of a bummer on the posability front, but everything else is good on articulation.

I haven't bought any Armada toys except Minicons because all the figures bigger than them aren't worth the money. No possability = major pissability. But not this. This toy is near perfection! Over Run is a little odd as a robot but makes a nice gun. A+

all inspiring posablity. why do the forearm guns come off? the grill is too black. i like him more as a show piece, like a statue. the other is more fun to play with. OR looks great, except in rob mode, great gun! bad place for powerlink

Looks much cooler, chunkier and more poseable than big Prime, but he is teeny. And big Prime's got all the groovy auto-thisandthat-ing. Get 'em both if you like Optimuseses, they're worth the cash.

I have been disenchanted with Armada toys until this one. The articulation is extraordinary. The robot mode totally rocks. The mini-con works best as a jet pack & gun. If you really want action take the bigger Prime's gun & use it with him..ohhhh-mama!

The Phantasm
This guy is one of the good Armada figures I've seen thus far. As far as the double punch gimmick, it isn't awful. Runway is great as a plane only. His robot mode looks terrible, and his target master mode doesn't fit.

Don't think about the mini, it can be replaced. This toy is one of the most awsome I have ever picked up off the shelf. If they could build a trailer to sell for it seperately, I will buy it. It will be the best toy I will have ever had. Thank You.

Size doesn't matter here. This is just a good toy. Improves on points where the original lacked in poseability, making this one as mobile as a Stretch Armstrong doll. Only slight setback is Overrun.

Assaulticon
Really poseable, and good articulation. VM looks small though. Only real saving grace is Over-Run.

Truck mode is a bit super-deformed, but his robot mode is great! This is by far the best Armada toy. Very cute too.

For some reason the left arm keeps coming off on mine when I transform him to vehicle mode. My Overrun also won't fit into his fist. He does fit perfectly in the other Prime's fist. Other Armada Prime slightly better.

Runway
just buy it
