Optimus Prime : Fall of Cybertron

After so many years....... i mean being a transformers fans when i was kid and now, finally able to own Transformers' toys in my collection.

Well, forget about my story and lets focus on this. I'm not sure should this post call as review or what ever i should call it but maybe i will just call it as my thought about this "Optimus Prime" rather call it a review because I don't have much knowledge about Transformers' Toys. And if anyone think of owning Transformers' Toys, i think the first character will always be the badass Optimus prime in any Transformers' series even though they are the so called loser in their war but i think the idea from the creator for this character is portraying hope from the good side.

So, this will be the Optimus Prime from the Fall of Cybertron (a.k.a FOC... lol) series which is a game, some called it as the Cybertronion series or Transformers Generation series which i'm not sure how to differentiate. I think this should be the series follow from another gaming series called the War of Cybertron ( I bought the deluxe class Optimus prime from this series and its... will tell more on the coming Transformers' post). I haven't play that game yet so i don't have much information about this Optimus FOC. As far as i know, there are lot of weapons and equipment can be change in the game such as the arms, hand or what ever it call can transform into many different kind of canon, rifle, machine gun or blade. I'm really wish that Hasbro might release some series which will have swap-able parts for different type of weapon as show in the game ( i think those collector won't mind to pay extra as long there is more variation out there). 

On the toy itself, there are few things that i'm really impressed such as the articulation, proportion, transformation and some minor detail. I mean the entire design not too complicated but it have great proportion while still able to maintain great articulation and transformation gimmick. Some of the joints is even better than the gunpla. As for the color separation, detail and....... nub marks? I was wondering toys do have nub marks too? Well, these will not be favorable for collectors. About the design accuracy compare to the actual look in the game, i will rate it in 75% max as the front wheels should store at the back of the body and not in the arms and the transformable hand to different type of weapons is another reason why i rate it so low. The rest of the comparison, i guess the picture below should be sufficient to explain more. 

New section coming soon (Transformers and Hotwheels thought)

Well, i guess Transfomers toys and Hotwheels should be every kid dream to own as much as they can ( Power Rangers toys too, those Megazords). Unfortunately, those who are rich can get a lot and those who are not, few or nothing. As for me, i can only get it if i score in my exam and which will never happen, LOL!!! At the end of the day, the dream can only become real from what i earn now.

Forget about the stupid story of mine, let just focus on what i thought about this topic. First, I will start with transformers toys. First of all, although I'm a fan of Optimus prime but I do not have much knowledge for Transformers series or toys. My first transformers toys is a bootleg made in China, never get a original one until i reach secondary school. My cousin give me an old Optimus prime from "i don't know which series" and a lion transformers which i believe it called the "star leo" which can combine with another "jet type" transformers. I never bother about it until i learn that the value of old transformers toys will increase few more times that its original price when it release. I guess the only reason that explain why is due to only few batches will release for one series and the production will stop for that series after that, i was totally regret for not keeping them in good condition and not to lost any accessory of it. At the end, i sold both of it at RM 150 while if its in good condition can sell up to few thousand ringgit.
