I missed out on G1 Prime initially, but a couple years later a friend gave me his Ultra Magnus cab, which I then painted as Prime. He was my very first custom figure. Still have to him somewhere in storage 😊
Thank you for making this; I inherited my brother’s G1 Prime and I’ve been hoping to repair parts that I now realize I need to entirely replace. I’d like to one day restore him because he means so much to me.
It's easy to take the front wheels off. Push the axle fully to one side, tighten your cordless drill chuck down on the bushing on the other side. Put a set of pliers on the opposite bushing and turn on the drill. Easy as pie. They come off extremely easy in seconds. Been doing it this way for years.
Irony is I've got a bunch of Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus bits. Wish I got half the parts that you turn up with;). i at one point used to rebuild Generation 1 Transformers but the parts got stupid expensive on eBay so I stopped doing it a long time ago. Used to be able to get a big box of G1 Transformers for like 20 bucks damaged and it was usually just a matter of grabbing a couple of those listings and then you had enough pieces to put some together.ide so the ones that I had multiple of and keep the rest where I didn't already have that one in all my years I only have about 30 or 40% of Megatron he never seemed to turn up lol. The one that I've got in good shape but it's missing all the removable bits and what they charge for those pieces is insane nowadays. Looks nice to see somebody besides me at one point put a Optimus Prime together with Ultra Magnus parts I had one at one point that was half and half where I had a broken Prime and a broken Ultra Magnus and I did something like that where there was enough pieces to make one out of the two. I'm actually I got the missing RED parts and put it together and sold it with a trailer.
For a name, I suggest: PasTIMEius Prime - which mimics the original name of Optimus Prime and incorporates "Past his Prime" with the word "Pastime" as this is what Toy Polloi 2 is all about - your sharing of your pastime of toys with all of us, your loyal fans.
I think that Optimus looks neat. It’s like he was damaged in a fight and Ratchet didn’t have the parts to repair him, and Ultra Magnus selflessly donated the parts like the loyal soldier we all know he is. 🤣
Very cool Dave. Reminded me of when my G.I. Joe Breaker's leg snapped off at the knee. I replaced it with Snake-Eyes' leg, giving him one black boot. And by the way, Past His Prime is a perfect name for him. No need to come up with anything else.
Maybe it could be a veteran version of Optimus Prime during the wars before his ultimate sacrifice in that Transformers movie that left kids and fans alike seriously traumatised for decades to come. Or it was perhaps his stunt-double the whole time that deceived us all for so long. Also, Pastimus Prime should be a great name for him!

The guy on the DZTV channel has disassembled the axle part, so you might refer to that if you want to do that. I might try that as I have a junker Prime that has the interlocking zigzag part of his hips so worn, I can't keep his legs out so he can't stand up. I'm thinking of swapping those parts out with a junker Magnus if I can work up the nerve to do the disassembly.
Past his prime cool I hope he and mega gone will both each get a team mate in the future. You might looking to picking up pro wrestling figures Terry Gordy and Jim the anvil nine Hart as they come with pieces to switch to alter egos so if you could pick them up cheap you might be able to make your self some pro wrestler mascots then you could just pick up some build a figure parts .
I probably would have called him Doctor prime and said he’s from alternate time line and is combat medic who has Brooklyn accent and I’d give him a messenger bag with some mini books in it since I my mind he would be reader and also have a scalpel instead of gun . And a bowler hat
RUclips doesn't like too much content. So TP2 is for unboxing videos, Photoshop videos, and other stuff that doesn't fit with what I do on the main channel. For the hardcore TP fans.
Past his prime is 40 years a good name. 👍🏻😃

Nicely done Dave!
Nice job on a classic among classics. Thanks Dave.
I once used broken tab inferno hands for a custom prime. If you have some of those they fit and will fit him!
Megagone looking at the disassembled Optimus: I've been dreaming about this moment since my activation!
Red, white, and blue. I would call him Patriot Prime, but I live in the US so I may be a little biased. 😁
It wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro made this Optimus Prime. And got the idea from this channel. I'm not going to lie It looks interesting.
Good video Dave, enjoyed the "rock" music as well.
Take care😊
Of all the circuit-glitched, diode-blowing dim-wittery. You left a piece out!
hurray for all the G1 reissues from the last 24 years. the possibility of own a decent figure or spare parts for it.
Nice work! If you have a spare trailer, maybe you can have him pull one with a TP logo fixed on it
I think he still has the bits from the Optimus Prime repair to make a trailer
@@larrychilders6599 Or he can make one from plastic sheets.

Grate fixes as always
How about Suboptimal and past his Prime? Lol, good work Dave, cheers!
I did think about that as a name. But I already have Sub Atomic Man and it sounded too similar to me.

optimous past his prime?1 genius! awesome work as always man :)
I like the title of Past his Prime
I think you've already found the perfect name for him :)
Thanks. It's grown on me.

Ultra Polloimus!
Polloi Prime
I actually have a spare set of hands and a blaster.

Optimus Primes cousin Pessimist Prime. Hey they're still family right, could make a fun comic.
Optimist Prime, since you're always optimistic about being able to fix these broken toys 😅😅😅

Just grab the cab parts from after the Sweeps pulled Magnus apart and get the Junkions to rebuild Optimus

How about Orion Scrapped?
Swaptimus prime 😂
Needs a trailer that matches his color scheme. Thinking something medical like since you repair figures
0:28 G1 Omega Prime?
Maybe use Heat Shrink instead of PTFE tape ❤
Is there a benefit to that? PTFE tape works really well.
@ToyPolloiTwo faster and more secure plus lots of colours available just food for thought 👍👍
Looks more like a Patriotic Prime.
He looks great id have on display ,battle damage was in fight killed megatron I have seen can buy back piece now cool finish got any spare I qant a go

Partimus Prime.
Have you looked into 3d printed hands? Also RepairusPrime.
You can add stars and stripes decals and call him Patriot Prime 😂.
Past his prime cool I hope he and mega gone will both each get a team mate in the future.

I need to see a Megatron episode! Mine needs an arm
Fix!
That will be along in a couple of weeks.
Sub-Optimal Prime or Sub-Optimal Optimus
I probably would have called him Doctor prime and said he’s from alternate time line and is combat medic who has Brooklyn accent and I’d give him a messenger bag with some mini books in it since I my mind he would be reader and also have a scalpel instead of gun . And a bowler hat
why do you have 2 channels? what is the difference between both?

@@ToyPolloiTwo okay thanks for the explaination I wasnt aware this channel existed gonna have to take a look later
Awoke video! As far as a name, habit Artist Prime. With those white parts he reminds me of a transformer called Artfire.
how about "optimus polloi"?
I would like to suggest the name Magnus Prime.
Suboptimus Prime?
how abt pessimus prime (opposite of optimus)
Logan Paul variant
Sub Prime? 😀
Pose him in a bank selling loans.
Suboptimus Prime?
