POTP Optimus Prime - Impressive but not perfect

[GotBot]

There is no doubt the Power of the Primes Evolution Optimus is impressive, but he is not flawless either.

Huge fan of this Prime despite the flaws in truck mode. And that's coming from the guy who pretty much owns almost all known transforming versions of the character. I hope Takara gives it a premium paint job later down the road (likely in a different line or as an exclusive). I see bits that could have been painted grey in trailer mode without impacting the Optimus look in robot mode and grey bits in Optimus mode that could have been painted red or blue without impacting the trailer mode to create more convincing decos in both modes.

He's pretty cool way better than tr powermaster optimus....i don't know how he got approved for production compared to potp optimus.

I tend to agree with you. He seems to have a bunch of qc issues that I was luck enough to not encounter, mostly related to poorly applied stickers and misassembled trailer panels. About the only strikes I can levy is lack of a waist, which is understandable considering everything he has to do and I really wish he could kick forward just a few degrees more. But, yeah, in general, he is a really strong version of the boss bot.

I really am considering buying this.. im like on the fence half way and just cant get off.

I want it, but the truck mode. Any thought from people who own it how easy it could be to make an upgrade kit to help? Any signs they might make a godgenri power armor for PoP prime?

I would imagine many kits could potentially make this guy into a really great Ginrai. I think they would be third party though. The TR pmop was really intended as a Ginrai, this guy is actually intended to be Optimus, but, undeniably, upgrades would sell to make this dude over since he is strong anyway.
