Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning in. First time reviewing something, so please be kind lol. Pictures to come soon (Phone Recharging)
This a review of Fall of Cybertron figures - Optimus Prime, Jazz, and Shockwave.
I just got my set from Robotkingdom Thursday July 5th and it was shipped on the 3rd.
Lets get ready to RUMBLEEEEE!!!!
First up,
Optimus Prime
Prime is acutally much better in person (A lot of figures tend to do that eh?) I was really surpirsed. He is a nice solid figure.
Alt mode:
In all honesty, not much to say really. Its small, really small. Smaller than PRID Bumblebee. However, I personally like the way it looks. It is much more blocky than WFC Prime. The gap in the windows don't bother me, the vehicle looks pretty powerful, like it can plow through decepticons like a snowplow plows snows.

Robot mode:
Robot mode is not bad, again much better in person than some of the photos make him out to be. Better than alt mode.
However, I don't know what it is, but he kinda looks fat because of his chest. He has hollow forearms and back of the legs, due to transformation, that, when transforming him, the upper arms collaspe into forearm and the thighs collaspe into the legs. But that also add to the articulation. The legs look stubby but are actually nicely proportioned and have great range of motion.
The head. The head sculpt is very nice. Hint of a lot of primes head in it. One down side is that there is no light piping. It has a great of movement range, better than all my prime figure I have. He can look 90 degrees up 360 degree rotation, and you can get a pretty bad ass pose with him looking down like he is pissed. The colours of the head make the eyes pop out.
Each shoulder comes with a really nice looking autobot symbol.

Transformation:
Really nothing special, its simple. I won't give the details on him, but has an atuomorphe feature thats pretty neat.
Articulation: = High
Head - All around movement. Ball-joint.
Arms - Ball-joint Shoulder, swivel biceps, hinged elbow, and swivel wrist.
Torso - no waist but instead the ball-joint is in torso
Legs - Ball-joint hips, swivel thighs, hinged kness, hinged (due to transformeration) ankles and ball-joint feet
Pros:
- Great range of motion
- Looks overall really good
- Fun to fiddle with
Cons
- Size, he suffers from Hasbro's new sizes on deluxes
- Looks fat
- Some hollow spots, forearms and back of legs
Over all, not a bad figure. I would give he a 6/10 (for a collector) meaning if you want him, get him. but he won't be a missed figure if you don't. For me he is actually an 8, the more I play with him, the more I dig him.
