Today, I’ll continue sharing some interesting content with you. This time, I’m bringing you the oversized version of the Transformers 6 Optimus Prime launched by Lucky Cat.There were earlier rumors that Lucky Cat planned to enlarge their previously well-received small-scale Transformers 6 Optimus Prime. And in this review, we’ll take a look at this oversized version. So, how does this toy perform? Let’s dive in and find out.
▼The toy package contains only the main body and one large gun. Previously, Lucky Cat’s small-scale Optimus Prime came with many interchangeable hands, but this oversized version has a three-claw design, so no extra hands are included. Its size is comparable to the official V-class figures. I originally planned to take a comparison photo, but I figured a description would suffice to give you an idea of the scale.
The first impression upon handling is that it’s very heavy and solid in the hand, much heavier than the traditional V-class toys from Hasbro. Regardless, heavier toys always feel more premium than lighter ones, so this initial tactile experience earned a lot of points from me.

▼Let’s skip the packaging this time and get straight to the toy. The front of the robot mode looks great; you can immediately recognize it as the Optimus Prime from Transformers 6. Except for the lack of the official Autobot logo, the essence and detailing are well executed.
For those who’ve bought Lucky Cat’s small-scale Transformers 6 Optimus Prime, you’ll instantly notice that this is essentially the same figure, just scaled up without any modifications.
![]()
▼The side profile of the robot mode is excellent—virtually no visible backpack. This feature alone surpasses many third-party versions of Transformers 6 Optimus Prime, showcasing Lucky Cat’s impressive transformation design. The designers clearly have solid skills.
Both sides of the arms feature detailed armor engravings. Many manufacturers apply similar designs for their Transformers 6 Optimus Primes. It’s hard to say who borrowed from whom since these details align with the official design.

▼The back is also well done, capturing the necessary details and essence of the Transformers 6 Optimus Prime. If I had to nitpick, the legs are a bit slim—they could use some bulk to achieve a more robust physique. Additionally, the details are slightly sparser than the front, but there aren’t any major issues worth criticizing.
![]()
▼To my surprise, this toy also features the so-called “lobster back.” Unlike the multi-segment unfolding seen in the Transformers 30th Anniversary Optimus Prime, this one has only two segments. Still, it looks pretty intimidating at first glance. I wasn’t expecting much, so this feature turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
Speaking of the “lobster back,” I’m not sure who coined the term. But since everyone calls it that, I’ll stick with it. It’s a fairly descriptive name, after all.
Let me know if you’d like me to continue translating more!

▼The arm details are very intricate, and for the elbow bend, you need to pull out the forearm slightly. Once extended, it creates an additional rotating joint. The range of motion is excellent, with a full 90° rotation being completely effortless.
When not in use, you can push the elbow joint all the way back in. As long as the arm patterns align, the joint is effectively locked in place, so there’s no need to worry about the joint loosening over time. This is a great feature.
![]()
▼The head sculpt details are quite intricate, particularly the diamond-shaped design on the forehead and the detailing on the faceplate. The deep blue helmet, silver faceplate, and light blue eyes are all painted. The paint job is decent, with no signs of overspill.
A lack of screen-accurate head sculpts is a common issue with third-party manufacturers. I don’t think these companies lack the capability or resources to replicate the official designs. It’s more likely they avoid it due to potential copyright infringement since most third-party manufacturers don’t have official licensing from Hasbro.
▼The chest windows can be opened to reveal the Matrix of Leadership, which can be removed. The Matrix isn’t just loosely placed in the chest cavity—it’s held in place by a vertical rod, which not only secures it well but also adds a sense of depth to the chest area. This is a nice design—simple yet effective.
![]()
▼The Matrix of Leadership included with Lucky Cat’s Optimus Prime is made of plastic, unlike Hasbro’s official die-cast versions. It feels very light in hand, and as a result, it’s not very stable when placed in the toy’s hands.
Once upon a time, Optimus Prime’s Matrix of Leadership was a symbol of his identity and status. However, in recent years, whether it’s from official or third-party products, Optimus Prime toys are generally equipped with a Matrix by default. As such, the Matrix doesn’t evoke the same excitement as it did with the MP10 figure, nor is it as commonly used in display setups.
![]()
▼Let’s take a closer look at the lower body. Lucky Cat’s Optimus Prime does a fantastic job on this part—it doesn’t sacrifice the original detailing despite being a transformable toy. Whether or not you’ve handled it personally, just looking at the pictures makes you feel like it’s a great figure. It’s certainly a piece you can proudly show off to friends.
I’ve always believed that if a transformation design forces the toy to sacrifice certain details or compromises its overall aesthetics, it’s a reflection of a designer’s lack of skill.
![]()
▼The details on the large gun are rather average, but one commendable feature is the T-shaped groove on the gun’s handle, which connects with a T-shaped slot in the figure’s hand. Once these parts are combined, the gun remains firmly in place. Without applying external force, the gun can stay securely in the hand indefinitely.
Of course, everything has its pros and cons. When removing the gun from the figure’s hand, be mindful of the T-shaped peg on the gun handle. Forcing it out could result in damage, so caution is advised.

▼The toy’s articulation is excellent. Since this is a photo-based review, I won’t demonstrate the full range of motion for every joint. That said, rest assured, it can handle all the usual poses. Its articulation is more than sufficient, as long as you don’t expect it to perform yoga-like poses.
Let me highlight the foot articulation in particular. Besides side-to-side ankle tilts, the front part of the foot can also bend upward, allowing for poses where only half the foot touches the ground.
![]()
▼The half-foot pose is even more noticeable and dynamic when viewed from the back. It gives the impression that Optimus is about to head off into battle, leaving his silhouette behind for the peace-loving Cybertronians. If only I knew how to add a Photoshopped background, the effect would be perfect—too bad I don’t, haha.
The transformation design of Lucky Cat’s Optimus Prime deserves special mention. While it’s not overly simple, the transformation logic is very clear. After following a video or the instructions once, you’ll likely remember it. Each transformation step has a corresponding slot ready for the next piece, eliminating any confusion about where parts should go or whether you’ve made a mistake. It doesn’t feel like a typical third-party toy—it’s more akin to handling an official Hasbro product. Excellent work!
Toys are meant to be played with. Many third-party manufacturers, in an attempt to show off their skills, design their toys in a fragmented manner that makes transformations unnecessarily complicated. To me, this is putting the cart before the horse—it’s completely meaningless.
![]()
▼The vehicle mode’s front view is rather blocky and lacks intricate details. It resembles the G1 animated Optimus Prime more than the one from Transformers 6. This is because the toy is a direct scaled-up version of Lucky Cat’s smaller Transformers 6 Optimus Prime. While the lack of detail wasn’t an issue at the smaller size, it becomes more noticeable at this larger V-class scale.
The transparent glass on the vehicle’s windows is another somewhat awkward aspect, as it exposes the Energon crystal inside the cab. While it looks pretty cool in robot mode to see the Energon through the windows, it’s less appealing in vehicle mode, as it gives the impression that the transformation wasn’t completed properly.
![]()
▼The vehicle’s side profile is much more pleasing and stylish, thanks to added details like the smokestacks and fuel tanks, which make it look less plain. However, the truck cab features two hinge-like folding joints on its sides that become slightly obtrusive at the V-class scale. You just have to remind yourself that it’s a transforming toy and adapt accordingly.
The large gun can be mounted on the rear section of the vehicle. Regardless of where it’s placed, having storage is always a plus. However, the unit I received has a problem where the gun sags—a topic I’ll discuss later.
![]()
▼The rear design of Lucky Cat’s Optimus Prime doesn’t just involve folding the robot’s feet and pretending they’re not there. Instead, it includes thoughtfully designed storage, which, tail lights or not, surpasses most third-party products in my opinion. It’s a commendable feature! Thoughtful design always earns genuine appreciation from players, whereas lazy or sloppy design only becomes a subject of ridicule.
Another highlight is that the area behind the cab isn’t hollow. Instead, the robot mode’s shoulder components are neatly stored there to form a smooth surface, further enhancing the vehicle’s overall cohesiveness. I must say, the designer’s skill is truly impressive.
![]()
▼Lastly, let me talk about my “lucky draw” situation. The rear assembly doesn’t hold together tightly. Although it initially clicks into place without gaps, a slight touch causes it to pop apart. As a result, when the gun is mounted on the rear, it causes the tail to collapse into the configuration shown in the picture, leaving the gun sagging instead of being firmly attached. I hope this issue is unique to my unit. If it’s a widespread problem, it could dampen the enjoyment of this figure.
Most people know that I rarely play with third-party toys because I’ve always believed that their materials lag behind Hasbro’s official products. Plus, they tend to focus too much on showing off, resulting in overly fragile figures that can’t withstand frequent transformations. However, Lucky Cat’s oversized Transformers 6 Optimus Prime has significantly improved my impression of third-party manufacturers. The design demonstrates strong expertise, and the materials leave nothing to be desired. It’s genuinely a great toy.
▼Among Lucky Cat’s small Transformers 6 Optimus Prime, the oversized Transformers 6 version, and the massive Transformers 7 figure, I think this oversized Transformers 6 Optimus Prime is the best choice. It’s more durable and enjoyable than the small version and more portable and affordable than the Transformers 7 figure. If you haven’t purchased the small version yet, this oversized version offers better value and is worth adding to your collection.
That concludes this episode’s review. Thank you all for your support, likes, shares, and comments. See you next time!
