Blog #2725: Toy Review: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Beast Mode Optimus Prime

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Beast Mode Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime

Vehicle Mode: Optimus Prime looks pretty great in robot mode. He’s better than I would have expected for a gimmick toy.

Robot Mode: In robot mode Optimus Prime is very rectangular. Not awful, but not great either.

Beast Robot Mode: Lio Convoy, is that you? No, it’s not. If I said it was, I’d be lion. (Get it?) Anyway, Prime now has a lion’s head on his chest. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.

Overall: I swear there is someone at Hasbro whose job it is to come up with the dumbest possible gimmick for each toyline. This one is it for Rise of the Beasts.

Thanks for reading!

About lmb3

I’m 36 years old, and I work in network tech support for a public school system. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter, and Marvel Comics as well as numerous other fandoms. I’m a big sports fan, especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I collect toys (mostly Transformers but other stuff too), comic books, and Red Sox baseball cards. I watch an obscene amount of television and love going to the movies. I am hopelessly addicted to Wizard Rock and I write Harry Potter Fanfiction, though these days I am working on a couple of different original YA novels.
