I have the dOTM version of Battle Hooks Optimus Prime. It's pretty cool but they could've left out the stars and moon printed as well as the shades of pink on the figure.
Came here from a review of the DotM Dual Model Kit Optimus. Wow, I didn't know Takara had released the Voyager Battle Hooks Optimus prior to the "Revenge Optimus Prime" in the AoE Movie Advanced line. Anyway, this is a glorious - albeit annoying - mold. Even if I can get my mitts on the new design Voyager from The Last Knight, this one is the reigning champ for my Movie collection. (And I have the Walmart exclusive DotM themed repaint, which has a Matrix that's orange-gold instead of silver like the Takara one. (Still better than the boring flat white one that comes with the old HftD Battle Blade Optimus Prime...yesss!!)
@slasher0630 Yeah , as soon as I see leader class megatron(if he comes out that is) I´m gonna buy him. BTW , there is a human alliance soundwave out now and it´s really good though his vehicle mode could have better colors and paint apps.
It would make sence that the battle hooks would resemble the blades because they both come from Prime, it would make sence to make the markings look the same because they are both wepons that come from Prime.
The Matrix of Leadership from my Hasbro release has a thing for popping off when I make it flip out of his chest. It's a real pain especially when I am either trying to use that gimmick or when I am just trying to transform him :/ Do you know what the problem is and if it is fixable?
@slasher0630 The problem is, what would the price be? If a jetwing battle blades optimus prime voyager figure was released, it would probarly cost 40-50 dollars. BTW you can buy his DOTM swords on amazon and such. But they cost a lot, around 50-60 dollars and they only work with the leader class optimus prime.
@edwar1155 try out the buster optimus prime figure. that has a gun and the swords. and no, they didn't make them smaller because of the mech tech, it is because they are making space for other characters, like sentinal and bumblebee.
@slasher0630 Maybe the swords is more poular? And they should have made a version for the voyager like battle blades optimus prime. BTW , it´s takara who make the expensive DOTM swords for the toys and that might explain the price cause takaras toys is most of the time way too expensive.
@slasher0630 I recommend the striker optimus prime and jetwing optimus prime. Those figures is awesome , especially the striker optimus prime with his awesome mechtech guns that combines to the weapon optimus uses in the movie. The striker also gets a shield. The striker is also the only transformer with a true stealth fore that looks awesome. Jetwing is also very nice with his jetpack but the jetwing don´t have stealth force unfortunately. The downside of the figures is that they are expensive.
maybe in the movie the energon on the blades are too much used so the metal part was just left and maybe optimus hitting the others caused the metal to glow orange hot...just saying
getting really annoyed by the video adverts that seem to be favoured by youtube at the moment. Prime's looking nice but I'll pass. It'll be interesting to see if they do make a new mould for the third movie or stick with this one. He just needs poseable hands and a better sword gimmick to be perfect.
I think this optimus with a black repaint with bloodstained hooks and red eyes would be pretty.....
awesome.
@slasher0630 Agree , I love this figure. I hope there will be a jetwing version of the figure soon , that would be awesome.

This version of Peterbilt 379 Optimus Prime is okay, but I like the ROTF leader class mold.
Forget the HFTD leader version this one is way better, it's a good thing i waited can't wait to get this figure for my collection.
Love it gonna try to get the repaint:)
I'm going to get the American version with the swords and possibly at some point get this one
i like the Leader Class Battle Hooks Optimus Prime .

Do you know what the problem is and if it is fixable?
The transformation and the figure it self looks like rotf leader prime.

there have been rumor of a Hasbro variant being released with the hooks
@PsychicYardstick they still sell the regular
like this guy a lot. hard to buy it with the American version though. Should have waited
@autobotJazzfan HFTD voyager. It´s the same figure almost and it also has the matrix of leadership which is awesome.
@edwar1155 try out the buster optimus prime figure. that has a gun and the swords. and no, they didn't make them smaller because of the mech tech, it is because they are making space for other characters, like sentinal and bumblebee.

@remia1 No. It will be a repaint of Movie 1/ROTF VOyager Prime
@aryonas exactly the same with just hooks with a little different paint
Is there any difference between the guns? And are the swords flexy plastic too? Thanks and awesome review! Keep up the good work!
nice vid
i think they shouldve made a leader class blackout or grindorto fit in with this optimus
i have this guy in leader class and one of the back panels broke at the joint now i have him with wings WINGED PRIME AWAY
i wonder if they are going to, or have considered it, a smaller jet fire to with this prime
the better optimus prime voyager class
gold=decent
gun metal grey=BEAST
I would like them to make a Scout class bumble bee... So it would fit in with Deluxe Ratchet and Iron hide and also be in scale with The guy...
My leader Prime broke...and they dont sell the regular anymore. Would this be a good replacement? Please reply.
@peaugh did u know that the gas tanks/exhaust pipe turns into guns/canons for optimus?
Blowing on the mic? well.... it sounds like there's a storm out there lol
@anixben they do? Because I can't find any of them. I keep running into Forest battle Prime.
they sell this version in the states but with a mouth not a faceplate
Why does mine have the moon and stars on the windshield?
@anixben no a bonus repaint of land mime from the first movie just painted white and gold called commetor i got it
i got the leader. but don't know if it is takara. no i think it's hasbro. mine does not have the mouth armor thingy.
maybe in the movie the energon on the blades are too much used so the metal part was just left and maybe optimus hitting the others caused the metal to glow orange hot...just saying
i wish i had one
is this the one that was going to have the Jetfire parts?
oh and its in the dotm line as a walmart exlusive with a bonus sideswipe figure
I want one too ;)
and i don't really like the mouth armor. mine is battle damaged either... it's really cool
what is better...this toy or the rotf leaderclass optimusprime?
are there instructions online? my toy didnt come with one
@Limeisbeast the new repaint of this figure does :)
so is it the exact figure just with hooks???
did u get a matrix with that? because if u did u forgot to show it
hey should i get hftd voyger optmus prime or hftd leader battle hooks? please i need an opinion

Can someone tell me how to pop the hooks off
@autobotJazzfan I would get the voyager and another transformer(If you haven't allready)

@anixben what store is that?
@shockwave711 It´s good but I would buy the battle blades bumblebee if I were you cause it´s like human alliance bumblebee but smaller.
where you buy it
Where do you get him
@darrylhorton Ugh your realy going to ask that question after watching the review?
Are these rare? I have one but its in terrible condition :/
NIce ring.

Battle Blades are actually cooler than Battle Hooks so japanese one having those is not big deal.

getting really annoyed by the video adverts that seem to be favoured by youtube at the moment.
Prime's looking nice but I'll pass. It'll be interesting to see if they do make a new mould for the third movie or stick with this one. He just needs poseable hands and a better sword gimmick to be perfect.
