This Christmas, toys from 2011’s blockbuster film Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon are in VERY high demand. If you want to please the Transformers fan in your family then the best toy to pick from Transformers Dark of the Moon is the Optimus Prime from MechTech.

The hero Optimus Prime can convert into a car and then back again. Of course Optimus wouldn’t be much of a Transformer if not! Optimus Prime also comes with an ion blaster that converts into a battle cannon as well, so you’re prepared to fight against the Decepticons. This version has been voted the top figure because it is the most realistic version that is very close to the movie version of Optimus Prime.

When Optimus Prime is in truck mode you can store the blaster behind a compartment in the truck so you don’t have to worry about losing parts. The transforming process can be a little tricky at first for young children, especially the arms that have to be folded away to turn into a truck, but after a few times it will be easy. When buying gifts for children it’s reassuring to know that Transformers Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime is a quality item and very durable as we all know how easily accidents can happen!

If your child wants to recreate some of the epic battle sequences from the film then the Megatron Dark of the Moon figure is a must-have! This figure is awesome as a Christmas gift but you will have to hurry as these are set to sell out very quickly! Each of the figures is well-designed; you will notice small details like the scar on the helmet of Optimus Prime that is present in the movie.

In short, if you are trying to pick a sure favourite Transformers Dark of the Moon toy you cannot do better than the hero, the Optimus Prime figure.

Spring into action with this vehicle-to-robot hero! Optimus Prime lays his life on the line in the defence of his adopted world. Every action he takes, and every modification he makes to his formidable body, is done to protect Earth. As the war rages on between him and the Decepticons, keep converting him back and forth, so he is ready to face whatever his enemies throw at him! The weapons work with any MechTech Transformer figure (each sold separately) so, as mentioned above, if you do check out the Megatron figure you will be able to use the weapons with this Optimus Prime as well.

So set the scene for your very own smash hit action movie at home this Christmas with your Transformer figures!
