It had to happen sooner or later! If you enjoyed this video - and I'm sure you did - please consider supporting over at / trdq Thanks to Patron Lena, too!
I'm genuinely suprised you went and got it. I love this guy personally as well as the other Animated lads not for what they look like, but what it represents as a franchise as a whole, like the WHOLE of Transformers. Like seriously, we probably would'nt have gotten ANYTHING Animated again if it wasn't for Legacy. And like, we're getting RiD, Rid 2015, hell we're getting Beast Machines Cheetor soon. BEAST MACHINES. THE ABSOLUTE STAIN ON THIS EARTH. WHICH I ADORE.
Something about this toy I liked might've been the "chunkiness" of it all, but I suppose that's due to me expecting all Transformers in the last few years to have a sort of uniform body shape to them, and this one comes in with a big upper body chest to make other big boys blush. Something about it enamors me.
It drives me crazy when prime fans say that animated got faithful recreations while prime was given the shaft. like no man not at all. this things enormous bulbous chest is more reminiscent of a high-moon design then a Derrick j Wyatt design
Its funny how we all said "we want more Animated" and a monkey's paw finger curled shut, but even as a huge Animated fan, I still think this guy looks nice and can't wait for the Toxitron repaint that WILL happen
I GASPED in awe when I saw this in my Patreon notifications. I have been waiting for you to review this as soon as it was revealed. I can understand why you don't like this as much as Bumblebee, but I can't help but love this. I'm turning 20 in April, I grew up on TFA, my G1 if you will. I'm the same age as the adult collectors who grew up on G1 when CHUG started. So seeing this, I feel old but also happy as this is what I imagined the first run of TFA in Generations would be like as it's different ywt recognisable, much like Classics Optimus.
THANK YOU for pointing out the bot mode proportions. Everyone says "oh he's spot-on," but then completely miss that HE DOESN'T HAVE AN ABDOMEN. His bulky chest just immediately transitions into his waist, his abs get swallowed up inside the windshield! What's the point???
As someone who grew up with Animated,in my opinion this figure is absolutely phenomenal; I absolutely love it just like the Prowl, I think the Bumblebee might be the only one that’s lacking in some aspects, but it’s still great.

Bad take, this was better than the animated toys, sorry. Better design, better art direction, everything.
they should have reissued the old fig with update modification rather than this awful fig..
Transformers fans is the only fandom that complains more than Sonic fans

Dear "A True Animated Fan" you're complaints about the fronts wheels are invalid as that is screen accurate.
If I want to play with an Animated Prime figure, I'll just play with my original Animated Prime figure. Screw this thing. I won't cave.
it kinda feels like this is animated optimus after he retired from the war, got fat and stopped caring altogether.
tired of the chug designs and it would have been better if they actually attempted to replicate the cartoon instead

The salt is unparalleled and I am here for it!

There Is a version with wings coming up.

I think any attention that Animated gets is a good thing and although they’re 1.5/3 so far I’m still happy to get these.
The way those forearms work is so good. So good!
Gosh i love Animated Optimus it's a Okay figure
