Transformers Jetwing Optimus Prime + UFO Articulated Hands

Optimus Prime returned in the third installment of the movie with a jetpack and hence, the perfect opportunity for Takara Tomy/Hasbro to milk the franchise.

Optimus in vehicle mode. It is a close replica to the prime mover it was based on.

Optimus in robot mode. This is one of the best mold for the movie Optimus Prime. The hands were replaced with the UFO articulated hands which is a must-have option part.

The fuel tank can be transformed into a cannon.

I bought a pair of energy sword. It fits into the articulated hands well.

The not-so movie accurate jetwing pack. It is basically a set of gattling guns attached to a flight unit.

The prime mover with the jetpack attached to it. Looks pretty good.

This extra firepower might be enough to bring down the Decepticon!
This is my first Transformers movie figure and I have to say that I am impressed. The detail, articulation and transformation mechanic were great for a Transformers toy. My only gripe was the finishing or should I say the lack of finishing on most of the parts. The parts in this figure were molded in their respective colour so the figure still looks like a toy at best. I wonder if it is the same with the other releases which came with a glossy finishing. Guess I got to get one to make a comparison.
