This figure is from 2007. He is the leader of the Autobots. He appears in the 2007 movie. In the movie he is not really like G1 Optimus Prime. G1 Optimus is a really powerful robot but he would not kill Decepticons unless absolutely necessary. He was soft that way but this movie based Optimus is all guns blazing.
FUNCTION; Autobot Leader
MOTTO; " Freedom is the right of all sentient beings"
TECH SPEC; His origin has been told in several different ways. In the G1 cartoon series, ("War Dawn") he was a young power-plant worker named "Orion Packs" who went on to become the great Optimus Prime. A slightly contradictory story was told of Prime's origin years later (2003) by Simon Furman, in the Dreamwave comic series, "The War Within". However he came to be, there is little disputing, that Optimus Prime is the greatest leader the Autobots have ever known. The following text is from the Marvel Comic series, "Transformers Universe."
If he had been on Earth he would be a doctor, a mechanic, a scientist & a warrior. But on Cybertron there is no difference between these professions. So Optimus uses his skills to heal and repair which are the same things to Autobots -to improve the world around him and, if necessary, to fight. Both in power and intelligence, he has no equal. He has the personality of an Abraham Lincoln. He can be immensely kind and his compassion extends to all that lives, including the creatures of Earth. Yet he will battle unceasingly to protect the weak and defend what he believes in. To accomplish this Optimus knows that the Decepticons must be defeated for all time.

Very good figure. The Revenge of the Fallen leader Optimus may have a more accurate robot mode but this one has a more accurate truck mode. This truck is lore fun as he is not as complicated and is easier to transform. I have spent hours trying to transform the other one.
He has lights and sounds. His head reveal to finish off his transformation to robot mode is a clip . When this is released the level lifts up and so does his head. the panels on his chest also move apart. The eyes and the panels light up and there is a power up sound.
In truck mode there is a button on the cab roof which when pressed the windscreen lights up and the horn sounds.
The truck mode has a very nice and accurate insignia on the front grill with some red outlining which is much more accurate than the red one that Revenge of the fallen Optimus has.
He has blue translucent headlights and windows that is not realistic but looks good.
The truck mode also has rubber tyres which helps him roll very nicely. Whilst the Revenge of the fallen Optimus has plastic tyres.
In robot mode there is a lever on his right arm that when it is pulled forward his gun flips over his arm and also an extra pair of guns slide out form inside his arm. This looks like his gun is replacing his hand. The gun is not well hidden however and hangs on the side of his arm. The gun fires one translucent blue missile.
He has great articulation including individual posable fingers.
For the gun gimmick to work the gun must be in his closed hand .
Overall he is superb figure and definitely one to get for your collection.
