One of the reasons that this is my favourite channel is because of the Transformer noises and little quotes from the show that you do when you’re talking about and playing with the figures. I can see that you’re having a tremendous amount of fun with these - it’s like being 10 years old all over again and I feel the same. Brilliant video, brilliant channel. Regarding the figure, it seems that Masterpiece figures are becoming more and more redundant as the years roll on because these more affordable alternatives are getting better and better.
Stephen Word! doesn’t chef have great videos?!!’ Imo he has some of the best poses in screenshots too haha. Nobody else really comes close to great poses. And I agree about the Masterpiece point, especially with the newest Beast Wars coming out....an altered Cheetor but pretty much the same mold when they could’ve done an entirely new character and mold
Andrew Snay Andrew Snay Thank you for your kind and polite reply. Yes, some of his figure poses are great - I can’t get them into those poses myself. I’m just not used to posing figures as I’m a relatively new collector. I’ve been collecting Transformers for about a year now, prior to that it was in the 1980s. I love this Transformer channel. Chef’s information is very relevant to the figures whereas on some of the other channels they tend to waffle on too much about other things that aren’t always important. This channel’s video quality is excellent, the audio is excellent, the transformation commentary is usually very informative and he explains clearly any issues that we need to be aware of. I find myself coming back here constantly. The other channels I’ve left behind. I don’t even look at Masterpiece figures anymore so I’m not really aware of what’s coming out next. They are far too expensive. You can buy four Earthrise figures for the same price.
@@StephanieLærkeAndersen glad i was able to help, bro. while we're on the subject of posing figures, i do have some how to pose action figures videos, you might be interested with :-)
Don’t be too confident since I doubt they’re gonna make all of those repaints maybe at least a Nemesis repaint but not something like a Sleep mode prime
I was very tempted to buy this, since I already have the siege one but damn that possibility/poses you showcased really wants me to get it. Earthrise is looking amazing so far, lets hope it becomes as good or even better than siege.
@@andrewsnay3356 I think they should bring back the coupon system where if you have the box it has the code and if you quote it and hand the receipt, you can get discounts on your next figure. Also feedback form to gain points which you can spend to get discount.
i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
Great review! Thanks for the transformation tutorial. The personal sound effects really sells it for me. Also, the trailer goes really well with Kingdom Deluxe Huffer. The trailer hitch fits perfectly into a slot in his truck bed and scales really nicely with him overall.
I need this figure, just hope to see a Micromaster version of Roller (at least) instead of a "convention exclusive" re-release of the same leader class toy plus Roller! XD BTW Great review Chef! (Thanks for the advice about the paint quality) :)
LOVE the fact that you have the original version to compare to as well as other versions of Optimus through the years. We can tell you are a true Transformers fan who cherishes your collection as much as we do. Till all are one!
I like how the War for Cybertron Trilogy series pays tribute to G1. And by the way, the G1 toys came first, not the G1 cartoon, not the G1 comic books and not the G1 video games.
I was just fortunate enough to find one at my target that had no blemishes no problems no loose joints and it was perfeçt and they had a ton at the target I went to I only wish that I could be gotten the starscream they had
22:13 roller as a triple changer battle master or micromaster 2-pack like soundwave's cassettes being roller and Sparkplug from armada to go with the optimus that'll hopefully release?
@@optimuscprime That's a good point. The size of the trailer here bothers me a little, but also seeing the dearth of interior detail compared to the original. There should be all kinds of dark blue stuff back there. And Roller of course.
Finally picked up this Leader Earthrise Optimus. A great figure and fun transformation. Going to be hard to top him with any other characters coming out later this year.
awesome ! yeah, i think this is the definitive Optimus Prime for the entire trilogy, unless they do an exclusive with a bigger trailer, with roller, and with better paint apps. smh LoL :-)
@@chefatron I would get some toyhax stickers for the trailer. Give him the white stripes down the side to brighten it up. Dont think Optimus really needs much extra on him. Given him the siege gun, helps make his legs not look as long
i dont think the matrix is too small at all, in the 86 movie he held the entire core area in a partially closed palm, it would probably look perfectly sized in a deluxe hot rods hands
I actually prefer how the legs of Siege Optimus tuck away the wheels. I wonder if those are interchangeable at all. Also, I would really prefer a cheaper version of this sans-trailer. Still waiting to see what they do with Megatron for Earthrise.
For some strange reason I found the hands are painted in metallic blue so they can chip with putting in the gun. Also the gun itself is also painted black and can chip.... kinda weird as heck. Also they didn't paint the silver around his sides all the way....
The last half of seige isn't even being sold in my country yet and some are not coming at all like walmart exclusives but if this comes on amazon I see if I can yet it looks quite good apart the cheap look in the plastic
FINALLY! A review that transforms it in the right direction. Every other review starts from vehicle mode. I HATE THOSE GUYS! How stupid can they be? I just got this guy & want to know how to transform it from robot mode because he's packaged in robot mode. THANK YOU for doing it the right way.
So the days of 9 or 10 inch figures have passed us . Nothing over 7 and we pay 55 bucks or more. I love the figure but really. I'm becoming more and more selective about what I buy now. Eventually I may stop collecting Aleast we'll have people like you to inspire us to stay intrested in transformers. Thank you Chef.
I found one of these in Target today and I grabbed it up, headed toward the registers only to find it was register locked. Seems to be street dated for September. I pleaded with the manager to let me purchase it without luck.
Good Morning to you, Chefatron. My Earthrise Optimus Prime arrived at the house on yesterday. I had previously preordered him from Hasbropulse.com last month. I have not have time to open him up yet. Earlier this morning, I preordered that Deluxe Centurion Weaponizer Package that includes a Blue Roller vehicle for Prime and other accessories for other Earthrise G1 figures. I preordered this from Hasbropulse.com as well.
Great review! This will be the first Prime I've bought in a long time. Looking at some real pics of trucks with trailers I think a size somewhere between what we got and the original trailer would be perfect.
FYI, Prime’s inner chest and the Matrix both have a 5mm port. Meaning that they can hold WFC Trilogy Blast Effects. Also his wheels are reused from the SS 2007-DotM Prime Molds.
I just got this figure and the gun shouldn't do that as mine snaps into place nicely but the only problem I've had is his left leg joint is a little loose and the trailer doesn't close properly
Im really fine with the reused parts since the only shared transformation is only the same in the feet. The shared parts are the head(slightly different paint applied), the center/blue section of the lower legs are shared, and lastly the three part feet are shared.
Probably going for the 35th anniversary Prime; Earthrise is great but we could really have asked for more plastic or at least more trailer paint/stickers for the price.
Great review. :D I tried to order Optimus Prime from Amazon, twice, but both orders were cancelled, and now he's going for $81 U.S. dollars. :( I'm struggling on getting him now, or waiting for him to appear at retail. Keep on being amazing Chefatron, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
wow that's an awesome score bro! years after both versions have been out, they are still very difficult to find in the wild.... so congrats on the haul bro 🙂
They made the trailer short so they didn't have to make the packaging bigger. Thats what it seems like, it's too bad thats a good rendition of the G1. I gotta find my G1 Optimise and jet-fire those are the ones that are still in the box.
I'm not sure about this version But I did some math and measures on Lewin Resources Optimus Prime and assuming he has a 24.5 Rim Like Real Freightliners and the tire is 45" Old Optimus Would be around 53' tall.
I need this I'm am hunting it everywhere! one time I had my hands on one but then someone snatched it from me then bought it, and that was the only optimus. :(
Would have been cool if you held him at gunpoint and almost killed him for his toy. Sort of like those stories you hear of people getting mugged for their shoes in the hood.
if you like the figure 100%, then definiltely! but perhaps just wait for the rumored Studio Series 86 version... I have a feeling they'll just repack this figure into that... like what they're doing with Springer and Soundwave...
I'm not personally interested in the trailer for space reasons and considering how prices go this will probably costs 60 Euros (which is the standard leader class price on Amazon here, never chanced to see a War for Cybertron Trilogy leader class in brick and mortar shops) where I live which is a bit much for a trailer that isn't that good and I'm not interested in. The expense bothers me to the point I was tempted to get the KBB MP-10v which can be had on eBay for little more than half the money (and considering the price of repro Autobot stickers it would be at least twenty Euros less for a much nicer figure) but it's slightly too big for my Siege Megatron (I always picture Megatron either in equal or bigger size than Optimus) and I don't trust myself to modify it with leg or waist extenders. I'll probably wait if I get lucky, or just find someone who sells a copy with damaged box at a steep discount like I did with Shockwave.
Yeah, MP10V is an incredible figure, but as something Voyager sized, it's easily the biggest possible Voyager; it's just barely taller than the Generations Springer/Sandstorm/BotCon Battletrap/Cloud Hot Rod mold and Transformers Prime Shockwave. So it doesn't scale well with much of anything...largely because it can't. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@chefatron Unfortunately I can't access brick and mortar stores where I live (small island), at least not realiably. And online prices rarely go down and often just go up (last Black Friday/Cybermonday basically nothing got discounted from the Siege line that I could ascertain), Sideswipe was 44 Euros on Amazon.it last I checked. Voyagers though aren't sold at a huge markup for some reason by and large, I got my Megatron for exactly 29,99 Euros with free delivery from Amazon. I had to travel a couple of times and got Soundwave plus Laserbeak and Ravage and Hound but even then what I found was completely random, there was a place that had a lot of movie and cyberverse figures plus one lone Siege Refraktor. Of course I could get lucky with this Prime but I'm not counting on it.
Nice review! I'm debating on getting him, price is a bit much. I'm happy with my Siege Optimus, with his smokestack upgrade kit he looks G1! Maybe find a ko or 3rd party trailer soon.
i think this figure is great, my only gripe with it is the same gripe i have with almost every modern optimus toy and that is the fake grill for robot mode instead of using the truck's actual grill
I think you mean Battlemaster, the little figures that turn into weapons, and come with effects parts. And honestly, I think Roller would fit perfectly like that. He wouldn't even need a weapon mode, he'd just need to turn into.. Well, roller, and come with a unique, or differently-colored effects part. I'd buy that up to go with my Optimus, for sure.
You know, the sad part is after watching the whole video, they could have spent like 5 bucks more in plastic on the trailer to it, for the cost anyway, 90% of the buyers of this figure are collectors.. so why not make some noise and give the fans what they want...
i think they will. hasbro's been listening to the fans lately. and fans want G1 looking updated generations toys. Scorponok, Arcee, and Skylynx for Earthrise have just been revealed at NYTF this weekend. looking good. i just feel Scorp is looking to have a very simplistic transformation and that arcee, man it's a parts-former ! :-( but sky lynx is looking fantastic!
It's the best in the earthrise line imo. They should do a nemesis prime repaint. Notice how there are no hollow part on his body? Finally Hasbro is listening. I hate seeing hollow things. This figure will go down as one of the best optimuse prime retail toys out there. No wonder people are calling these "Masterpiece Jnr". haha
perhaps. i know right? and they're really giving us the G1 treatment for the figures we've been asking for. yes, i think so too. and this is just the first wave of figures. there's more awesome figures to come i'm sure
Great figure, but I have to say, I utterly despise the complaint of the Leaders being "Voyagers with extra accessories." It's got a higher parts count than the Siege Voyager, more complex transformation, and yeah, the extra parts included make up the rest of the 20 bucks. It was never about height of the figure. I know you only mentioned it once here but that's such a common thing that I feel worth discussing
i still think it's a voyager class with extra accessories. however, i have made a video discussing the new scale and vehicle classes of the WFC trilogy. don't make me out as the bad guy yet. i try and explain hasbro's logic with their new class sizes in that video. stay tuned for that :-)
Why did they have to screw up the trailer so badly??? :( I am probably going to pass on him completely due to it, and take my chances on a repaint coming out later.
NGL, I just find this figure boring. I get it, for folks looking for a G1 Optimus at this scale, for this price point, who's as accurate as they can get to the old aesthetic but 'better,' this is great. But I've seen so many Optimus' trying to be G1 that I just roll my eyes at this stage. I was way more excited by the Siege Galaxy Upgrade prime, I never thought we'd see a return to the Unicron Trilogy versions.
kinda awkward for optimus to be tied like that in the box like he was in a BDSM situation hahahaha anyway this new version of optimus is the best one so far second is the bee movie optimus in terms of updated G1 look ,the blocky proportions on the earthrise optimus is excellent the details and panelines are excelent for me kinda weird he has metallic hands lol but the bright cobalt blue on legs is good kinda wish that the red color is much more brighter but eh...its a really good figure thanks for the nice review again chefatron damn i wanna pre order it now hehehe
Very comprehensive review :). I really enjoyed watching it. As always, great job :). As you already know, I mostly agree with your point of view in case of this one :D. I didn't know about paint issues, shame that qc still is so bad :/. I didn't notice that trailer is too small and lack of Roller. On the other hand, I'm terribly annoyed by these front wheels, it looks like lazy enginering considering how the chest folds in robot mode. All in all, I believe it's the best leader we got so far from WfC Trilogy line. Lots of play value. Reminds me a bit of CW leader Magns, he could carry smaller deluxes and legends in his trailer :).
To me it’s a studio series repaint with the trailer we should have got in the first place . I only want the trailer. Still a good optimus that mold is great .

Can you Link the stand you used on him?
Can’t wait to get him too.

The expense bothers me to the point I was tempted to get the KBB MP-10v which can be had on eBay for little more than half the money (and considering the price of repro Autobot stickers it would be at least twenty Euros less for a much nicer figure) but it's slightly too big for my Siege Megatron (I always picture Megatron either in equal or bigger size than Optimus) and I don't trust myself to modify it with leg or waist extenders. I'll probably wait if I get lucky, or just find someone who sells a copy with damaged box at a steep discount like I did with Shockwave.
Yeah, MP10V is an incredible figure, but as something Voyager sized, it's easily the biggest possible Voyager; it's just barely taller than the Generations Springer/Sandstorm/BotCon Battletrap/Cloud Hot Rod mold and Transformers Prime Shockwave. So it doesn't scale well with much of anything...largely because it can't. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
or perhaps just wait for it to go on clearance.
perhaps just wait for it go on clearance then
@@chefatron Unfortunately I can't access brick and mortar stores where I live (small island), at least not realiably. And online prices rarely go down and often just go up (last Black Friday/Cybermonday basically nothing got discounted from the Siege line that I could ascertain), Sideswipe was 44 Euros on Amazon.it last I checked. Voyagers though aren't sold at a huge markup for some reason by and large, I got my Megatron for exactly 29,99 Euros with free delivery from Amazon. I had to travel a couple of times and got Soundwave plus Laserbeak and Ravage and Hound but even then what I found was completely random, there was a place that had a lot of movie and cyberverse figures plus one lone Siege Refraktor. Of course I could get lucky with this Prime but I'm not counting on it.
@@det.bullock4461 i see. i hope you can still get one for a good price
Nice review! I'm debating on getting him, price is a bit much. I'm happy with my Siege Optimus, with his smokestack upgrade kit he looks G1! Maybe find a ko or 3rd party trailer soon.
awesome bro. i think a 3P trailer would be better for the mold
how much, I am thinking about getting him
What’s the price point for that optimus?
You know how they did the part were you can tuck in the hands they could of put that on seige soundwave
They didn't, because of the budget probably.
perhaps
i think this figure is great, my only gripe with it is the same gripe i have with almost every modern optimus toy and that is the fake grill for robot mode instead of using the truck's actual grill
yeah, i noticed that as well, but i've kinda learned to accept it with this figure. makes his abs look better LOL :-)
If roller doesn’t get released as a micro master I’m gonna loose it
How nice would it be to have a transforming Roller at that scale?
Paul Gaither pretty nice
I think you mean Battlemaster, the little figures that turn into weapons, and come with effects parts. And honestly, I think Roller would fit perfectly like that. He wouldn't even need a weapon mode, he'd just need to turn into.. Well, roller, and come with a unique, or differently-colored effects part. I'd buy that up to go with my Optimus, for sure.
What is up with that box posr5
which one? the opening pose?
SS38 BB Movie Prime is my personal favorite, though the earthrise figure is spectacular👌🏿
yes, indeed
You know, the sad part is after watching the whole video, they could have spent like 5 bucks more in plastic on the trailer to it, for the cost anyway, 90% of the buyers of this figure are collectors.. so why not make some noise and give the fans what they want...
I already got one. and its amazing!
I wish Hasbro included his energon axe, and his roller
yes, same
Chefatron pumping out these reviews quick lol!
hahaha thanks :-)
I really hope they keep selling earthrise G1 looking bots, I preordered almost the whole wave and don’t regret it one bit
i think they will. hasbro's been listening to the fans lately. and fans want G1 looking updated generations toys. Scorponok, Arcee, and Skylynx for Earthrise have just been revealed at NYTF this weekend. looking good. i just feel Scorp is looking to have a very simplistic transformation and that arcee, man it's a parts-former ! :-( but sky lynx is looking fantastic!
How do you get your stands so stable
i'm not sure... i guess i just find a good balance with the stand and the figure's center of gravity...
I enjoyed this figure so much I bought another haha, great review btw
hahaha ! awesome ! thanks bro :-)
Wow nice video thanks for that:) now i know what buy ^^
thanks so much, man. no prob :-)
Definitely a buy. But I wish it came with Roller especially for 49.99 it seems like its missing a key component of prime
yes definitely. happy hunting !
Remember the days when Transformers didn't suck. It has been a few years.
Uhhh why are the back of the legs grey OnO
it's alright. it's coz of the way he transforms
It's the best in the earthrise line imo. They should do a nemesis prime repaint. Notice how there are no hollow part on his body? Finally Hasbro is listening. I hate seeing hollow things. This figure will go down as one of the best optimuse prime retail toys out there. No wonder people are calling these "Masterpiece Jnr". haha
perhaps.
i know right? and they're really giving us the G1 treatment for the figures we've been asking for.
yes, i think so too. and this is just the first wave of figures. there's more awesome figures to come i'm sure
@@chefatron I'm hoping blitzwing is planned in this line.
@@UToobUsername01 yes, that would be nice, as well as proper versions of octane and broadside and sandstorm
Thank you for 1130. I was wondering why they put those hinges. Nearly broke my figure!
no prob bro, glad i was able to help :-)
Yould you ever get godforce warrior?
i'm not sure. might not be able to afford one
Excellent review as always! just wondering kung pwede kaya sa kanya yung trailer ng MP10-v?
wala ako nun bro eh. baka pwede siguro
Great figure, but I have to say, I utterly despise the complaint of the Leaders being "Voyagers with extra accessories." It's got a higher parts count than the Siege Voyager, more complex transformation, and yeah, the extra parts included make up the rest of the 20 bucks. It was never about height of the figure. I know you only mentioned it once here but that's such a common thing that I feel worth discussing
Kaynowa I disagree. I dont think Siege Shockwave is worth the original price point, maybe $40 but not $50
i still think it's a voyager class with extra accessories. however, i have made a video discussing the new scale and vehicle classes of the WFC trilogy. don't make me out as the bad guy yet. i try and explain hasbro's logic with their new class sizes in that video. stay tuned for that :-)
8:12 your not worthy
*you're
Why did they have to screw up the trailer so badly??? :( I am probably going to pass on him completely due to it, and take my chances on a repaint coming out later.
the trailer kinda grows on you, man. i'd give this one a second look if you see it on shelves
NGL, I just find this figure boring. I get it, for folks looking for a G1 Optimus at this scale, for this price point, who's as accurate as they can get to the old aesthetic but 'better,' this is great. But I've seen so many Optimus' trying to be G1 that I just roll my eyes at this stage. I was way more excited by the Siege Galaxy Upgrade prime, I never thought we'd see a return to the Unicron Trilogy versions.
kinda awkward for optimus to be tied like that in the box like he was in a BDSM situation hahahaha anyway this new version of optimus is the best one so far second is the bee movie optimus in terms of updated G1 look ,the blocky proportions on the earthrise optimus is excellent the details and panelines are excelent for me kinda weird he has metallic hands lol but the bright cobalt blue on legs is good kinda wish that the red color is much more brighter but eh...its a really good figure thanks for the nice review again chefatron damn i wanna pre order it now hehehe
Very comprehensive review :). I really enjoyed watching it. As always, great job :).
As you already know, I mostly agree with your point of view in case of this one :D. I didn't know about paint issues, shame that qc still is so bad :/. I didn't notice that trailer is too small and lack of Roller. On the other hand, I'm terribly annoyed by these front wheels, it looks like lazy enginering considering how the chest folds in robot mode.
All in all, I believe it's the best leader we got so far from WfC Trilogy line. Lots of play value. Reminds me a bit of CW leader Magns, he could carry smaller deluxes and legends in his trailer :).
thanks bro , i really appreciate it.
yes, good points bro, agree with you
To me it’s a studio series repaint with the trailer we should have got in the first place . I only want the trailer. Still a good optimus that mold is great .
I know it needs room for the trailer but he looks like a deluxe class figure in a leader class box.
perhaps
