Calibur Optimus Prime

Calibur Optimus Prime is a significant remold of Movie Advanced Armor Knight Optimus Prime, who was himself a remold of Age of Extinction Leader Class Optimus Prime. He has a new accessory, an axe, which is pretty cool. In robot mode the original toy had a “backpack” that included the rear bed and wheels of his truck mode as well as his running boards and fuel tanks. This entire assembly has been turned into a removable accessory that transformers into his shield. Consequently the shield is heavy and he can’t stand up holding it without moving his feet apart. The toy has a major design flaw. In robot mode he is supposed to be able to put his weapons on his back and then plug in the shield on his back. I can’t get it to stay on unless I remove the weapons. The peg is too small (or port too big). I like the paintjob on this version, but Armor Knight Optimus Prime is still my favorite version of this mold.

Overall: The backpack issue aside, he’s highly recommended.
