If this will be repainted into Scouge, it would be freaking sweet
I believe there will be a repaint for scourge, but it will likely be japan exclusive.
Knowing H yeah, you'll more than likely get that repaint.
I would rather have that over (G2 universe) Laser Optimus Prime, mainly because he’s got a more cooler paint job.
@@diacsquad1117 the Scourge repaint has already been leaked as part of the Walmart exclusive Velocitron line
@@diacsquad1117 nah its confirm to be a Walmart exclusive
I remember saving up for like a year for Optimus Prime when I was a kid, and by the time I was ready to buy it'd been replaced with G2 Laser Optimus. Best toy I every had back in the day.
To be honest one of the best optimus designs of all time,10/10 color-10/10 truck mod etc....,i hope we can see more laser optimus designs in the future
I just wish we actually got it in a show
@@chobispider2178 we did
Scourge from the original RID is just this design in black
And honestly this toy will make an amazing scourge
@@sentientsickness I might get the Scourge if the mold is as good as this.
The original, now 27 year old figure certainly was, however when you objectively compare this with the original, the original comes out as the far superior figure overall.
@@andrewrichards312 subjectively*
Really want to see a future Bayberse repaint of this like that old spychanger toy, in fact I can see some room here for maybe a Bayberse repaint, Scourge repaint and DOTM Megatron retool
I honestly think the bayverse repaint would work best.
Scourge is all but confirmed at this point. It's going to be in a Walmart Exclusive Velocitron sub-line
If theres one thing that bayverse did right, was the colors, they were FIRE as heck (pun intended😉)
@@TRUCollectors at least takara will make a generetions selects scourge
A Transformers Prime Magnus retool, maybe?
This guy could legit get a Mad Max Fury Road crossover retool. Even his shoulders look like giant speakers.
*That would go so hard!!!!!!!!*
He could be called roadamus maximus
Its so cool that we finally can have an official modern Laser Optimus
You mean a proper one since the Titans return mold is intentionally based on Laser Prime and 2010 is long gone
You mean an updated version? Because we had a modern version in the RTS line, and also the Titans Return version.
@@Keithchan2024 Titans Return didn't come out in 2010 tho
Too bad that when you objectively compare it to the now 27 year old original, this figure comes out worse. The transformation manages to be simpler in parts and more complex in other parts, while being far less elegant. The shoulder articulation is worse, the wrist articulation is achieved by removing the main gimmick of the original and the only net gain on the original is ankle tilt. I'll add that electronics have improved over the past 30 years, so it doesn't even get that pass on the wrist articulation.
The trailer on this has been so utterly gutted that it makes what happened to ER Prime's trailer look utterly tame in comparison. It's lack of accessories means that the weapon storage isn't as intelligent, and the removable matrix and scultped in, comparative runt of a laser cannon, comparative short sword as compared to the bastard the original had and not even removable, let alone firing shoulder missiles, don't even begin to offset the gutting of the air powered missile launcher, disc launcher and ripple fire missile launcher.
If Hasbro weren't going to do an update justice on arguably the best figure in the entire G2 line, then they should have left it alone.
@@andrewrichards312 you sound incredibly petty.
First off, this figure needs to be rereleased as Scourge some point down the line. Secondly, this along with Dragstrip and Bulkhead look like the most promising figures of wave 1 of Legacy!
It is going to be released as Scourge (it's also a Wal-Mart exclusive)
A Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus is probably coming too
@@narutoman876, it will most likely be a Hasbro Pulse exclusive too seeing as quite a few of their products on the website are Walmart exclusives.
Yeah, Arcee was just a fluke. And I didn’t even mind her design.
@@isaandreso215 it is, and it’s going to have the skull face sculpt, also getting Soundwave (Netflix mold), Slicer, Blaster and maybe Prowl
First of all the transformation is surprisingly more complex than I expected which was a pretty identical transformation to the original G2 Optimus Prime
This turned out to be actually better than I originally expected both in terms of looks and accessories definitely going to buy this
I'm very glad about the panel moving out of the way for arm articulation. One of my biggest concerns was the way Hasbro kept posing him made it look like he couldn't hold his arm straight out. Thank you for alleviating my concerns. Now we just need G2 Starscream.
Everyone talking about the Scourge repaint while I'm more excited about the Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus retool
Wow, I will always be a G1 guy but that is such an elegant design. It is really cool that, despite being so true to the G2 aesthetic, it shares design language and feels like the same universe as the G1 figure. I never thought I would want it as badly as I do now. G1 will always be "my Prime", but this is a really cool figure to play with and display.
I've been looking forward to this for 22-ish years. Pretty much everything I could hope for. Well... more rockets and missiles on the trailer base would have been nice, but there is only so much you can expect from a modern toy.
Can't wait for the RID Scourge repaint! Also: Hasbro, please keep that the name, don't put it out under "Nemesis Prime..."
This is the most accurate G2 prime I can think of.
But I think a few gap fillers for the legs and a more weapons for the tanker to give it the "Battle Tanker" vibe.
Check out FansHobby Gun Fighter II.
G2 Laser Optimus Prime released in 1995, 12 years before Bayverse Optimus Prime existed. (in fact, Bayverse Prime’s alt-mode and the cab’s colors fading into another were directly inspired by G2 Laser Optimus Prime)
G2 Optimus didn't have flames, he had red fade on his bonnet.
Maybe you're mistaking it for the Reveal the Shield version? Which had the flames, and came out a few years after the movies.
@@_V.Va_ Yeah, I forgot that G2 Laser Optimus Prime didn’t have flames only Red fading to Black. The G2 Optimus Prime (from Reveal the Shield) had added Red flames based on Bayverse Prime’s alt-mode. *I’ve corrected my comment above in post.
I still have my original 1995 version of this figure. It was my first transformer as a kid. It's old with loose joints and rubbed off paint but I've kept it for sentimental reasons. It's amazing how much more complicated the transformation is on the new one yet it still manages to look the same.
With a bit of DIY, you can rejuvenate the old bloke.
Now we wait for the Scourge repaint!
I personally think the transformation is one of the major draws to this figure. Pretty interesting.
Honestly it's the only draw for this figure.
@@ieyke No.
Oh no! It’s simple even though it makes no difference! Oh the horror
@@WyattTFdude The fuck are you talking about, hippie.
Just pre ordered mine, I really can’t wait to get this guy in hand, but I’m not keeping the stock paint job, I’m repainting it into either traditional prime colors (red, silver, blue) or Bayverse (flames) and this review just made me more excited for this dude to finally ship
This looks pretty fun. I have some issues with the proportions and the shoulders being too far down and not having all that shoulder armor being able to move is a bummer but still looks kinda cool overall. Love the alt mode, BTW!
I really need this figure so much it looks soooo cool. nice review
I'm glad that Hasbro decided to extend out to other parts of Transformers, especially one as obscure in the modern day such as G2. After nearly a decade of being pounded year after year with G1 mainly, I noticed that so far in this first wave.. only one G1 character while the rest so far are from newer parts and shows, etc.
And at least with this figure, they didn't half ass it, they went all out to make this guy a good leader class and it does so with flying colors
I think there’s 3 g1 characters in legacy so far. At least I thought there was
There’s 6 g1 characters in legacy. Skids, kickback, dragstrip, core hot rod, core skywarp, and iguanis.
@@scaledbrickproductions3736 forgot about the core class figures
This is the third G2 Optimus we've gotten in Generations
ZA WAARUDO !!!! 🕐🕑🕔
Not really a G2 fan. But this figure might make me change my mind. Amazing.
Oh nice!! The trailer still looks too small for it, but it's awesome
I hope that we can get an RID 2001 Scourge recolor of Legacy Laser Optimus Prime. He could easily be recolored to him because he was essentially a recolor of the original Laser Prime.
According to the leaks we’re getting one as a Walmart exclusive
@@ratfarmer1 Walmart exclusive, now those are words I don't hear in years
@@StealthBeeKid netflix was like last year though
@@ratfarmer1 wait these were Walmart exclusives? Forgot that sorry, I meant like Allspark power stuff
Dang bro’s always fast with the reviews
Wow...that Prime didn't skip shoulder day at the gym !
Laser Prime: "Hey, pal. Imma borrow your legs."
ER Prime: "Uuuhhh... sorry, pal. But you can't have my legs."
LP: "IT WASN'T A REQUEST."
ER Prime: "AAAAAAAAAA-"
**2 years prior**
ER: hey siege can I have your legs?
Siege: yeah just change a bit so it doesn't look obvious
ER: sure thing
@@StealthBeeKid and LP didn't even try to make it look different. You cna clearly tell lol
I love the G2 design. I sold my Japanese version and the Titan Return version for this one. This is a must have for me and I look forward to getting it.

Oh my god. When I first saw screenshots of your review on TFW2005 earlier, this was the first thing I thought. The figure looks so amazing that it’s a shame Hasbro didn’t put the same amount of effort in the Prime characters. Definitely keeping my pre-order on this guy.
Aaaand pre-ordered at BBTS. Thank you so much for the detailed review and look at the fig and what it does!
Easily the Legacy fig I've been excited for the most. While I don't care much for G2, Laser Optimus is one of the few things I do legit like about it. Great design and upgrade for the beloved character. I got the 2005 Takara re-release of Laser Optimus a while back and really loved the fig. Seeing this upgraded one in vein of the Generations and WFC style is great.
The transformation is shockingly very involved, but it makes the fig even more worth it. Much like how Laser Optimus is meant to be the next step and form for G1 Optimus, this fig does feel like the next step and difficulty level for Earthrise Optimus. It just looks bigger, has a more striking design, and a better implemented trailer.
Lack of hand articulation feels a bit disappointing, but I agree with you that it's not a big deal breaker. I'm so looking forward to getting this vid and adding it to the collection. I also await a possible repaint of this into RID 2001 Scourge.
Very nice to see a different optimus! I’ve always liked the more complex silhouettes, and the shoulder pads look great!
I like how the energy shield is reminiscent to the old launcher disks the G2 Prime had.
Yo this is the figure that got me into transformers. I gotta buy this asap.
You got into Transformers last year?
@@_V.Va_ No in 2007
Also, you KNOW ToyHax is going to do a sticker set with the old G2 stickers of Optimus burning down the forest.
Optimus changing from red and blue to red and black
🌟Optimus Prime: Far From Home🌟
The one thing that would make this figure a little bit better for me is make all the black parts blue as opposed to the black! All in all a smooth figure throughout!
I honestly really hope they repaint this figure to make a 'legacy Bayformers' Optimus Prime cause I really love the mold but I just hate the colours tbh
I'm definitely digging this G2 homage of Lazer Optimus Prime!!! And you know Toy Hax will absolutely have those G2 stickers on standby!!! A cool update and fresh look that has us collectors drooling!!!
This is a huge upgrade when compared to the head masters optimus with pylons and tanker
Alt mode look great, reminds me of DOTM Megatron.
I remember when this was first announced and people on Facebook were crying and butthurt because it used parts from Earthrise and we're calling it a lazy figure and retool, I think they were just mad it wasnt a G1 Prime
can't wait to get my hands on one, G2 Laser Prime is one of my favorite Prime forms ever
Looks really good with the G2 Megatron and I'm glad I picked that one up. Looking forward to this one too. Great review!
OH MY GOD!!! This figure is FANTASTIC!!!!!!
I am confident that we'll be getting the inevitable Scourge/Nemesis Prime repaint. That is the one I'll be getting.
Wow that transformation is way more complex than I thought it'd be. I'll be keeping my preorder I think
I’ve always ended up missing out on an optimus figure with majority if not all of these lines hopefully I can get this one cause I’m digging it
I’m not a fan of those massive shoulders, I do love the alt mode and hope it gets repainted to be blue instead of black. Not really a fan of G2 but I prefer the alt mode truck on this to the standard G1 Truck
Finally, the day has come, the review of Laser Optimus, thank you PrimeVsPrime :)
As soon as I finished this review, I ordered it right away. Coolest figure I've seen in so long.
The shield looks more like an axe
DEAR GOD THIS THING IS AWESOME! GOD I CANT WAIT FOR LEGACY THESE TRANSFORMATIONS KEEP IMPRESSING ME! wait....I CANT IMAGINE WHAT BULKHEAD COULD BE LIKE
Gracias por la review
Ryu:"You must defeat Gouki... to stand a chance!"
Scourge(RiD Universe):"No one... will call by the name Optimus Prime!"
Don't get me wrong, I like this Prime, I will get him when released, but I just hope Hasbro aren't going the cheap route. ER Prime engineering hides the fact that he's a truck very well compared here.
I don’t understand that argument. “Hides the fact it looks like it transforms” I’m sorry but what a stupid thing to care about
it’s accurate to the design…
It's so awesome to get a long-nose truck that turns into something that actually looks like Optimus Prime instead of a pile of jagged scrap and exposed parts like the bayformers! I'm just wondering how long they'll wait on the Nemesis recolor, honestly. It would be cool if they made a new Fire Convoy/God Magnus set to go opposite that! Man, I'm just super hyped for this guy and the Stunticoms, especially compared too the other Legacy figures seen so far.
Terrible opinion.
I wasn't going to get this at first but now I want it. This thing looks really cool.
You were not kidding about the transformation.
*GEEWUNNERS:* ''Optimus Prime's flames deco in the Bayverse is an insult to the real Optimus Prime!''
*G2 Optimus:* ''Hold my wacky '90s paintjob.''
Love this design of prime actually for the first time
Such a raw design. Thr backpack is the only weak part I think, the rest is fire. Legs look very fine and clean but man those shoulders. They're the bestpart about thid figure.
The core design is brilliant and it's why the original figure is one of the best figures in the whole of G2 and still holds up well today. However having owned the original, I can tell you that on balance, this figure is worse than the G2 original. If you love the design, track down the original - you wont be disappointed.

I personally hope we get this guy repainted into Car Robots Black Convoy (RID 2001 Scourge). I have the original version which is not a bad figure, but the chrome I feel is just a bad idea as it can flake and chip over time.
Well there is a "black convoy" coming
There was a G2 Laser Optimus Prime in Titans Return (Octane pretool), and long before that, there was the Deluxe class offering in Reveal the Shield. As for this beast...the shoulder pylons being stuck in place kinda sucks, considering that they were movable on the Deluxe (as the actual shoulders). That Matrix is actually a bit taller in exchange for the shortened length, which is fine by me.
It's definitely a figure I gotta get...if stores around me ever bother to carry it.
I can't wait to see the Scourge/Black Convoy repaint of this!
The vehicle mode looks so perfect holy cow
LEGACY TIME can't wait to see legacy bulkhead review
Glad to know the mold’s good. Velocitron Black Convoy will be a must-have.
I will buy this if they recolor it into scourge. So that i make him fight my bbm optimus prime. As i prefer them to be seperate designs like rid 2001 series.
Same here. Plus having "regular" Optimus Prime and this mold as Scourge or a "Nemesis" works better for me as I like it for not being just a black repaint of Optimus.
The main reasons why I want this is.
1. It's not straight up G1.
2. I love movieverse Prime, so the flames and long nose truck feels familiar to me.
Now we need an updated version of R.i.D. 2001/Car Robots 2000 Scourge/Black Convoy.
G1 Optimus prime: I'm Optimus prime. G2 Optimus prime: no I AM! G2 Optimus prime: no because alfa Tron said I was a better version of you 😎😎
Even when heavily remolded he still got the touch
Just the legs.
Can’t wait for the Bulkhead review!
WHAT
IS
THAT
TRANSFORMATION
That's amazing, was so unexpected to see that
Legacy prime look good!
Now we just have to wait until Takara or Hasbro itself recolours this figure into "Robots in disguise" Scourge.
I’m honest more excited for the inevitable scourge repaint as I have his RID 2001 toy on my self and it’s still a blast to play with despite it being older than unicron
THIS GUY LOOKS SO AWESOME!! i’m so hyped for legacy! iv already pre ordered bulkhead
Fantastic review PrimeVsPrime!!!!! We need a RiD Scourge/Black Convoy repaint from this figure. :D Keep on being amazing.
now this is the Optimus Prime that probably going to become my definitive since it's the perfect counter to my gdo Megatron which used the bludgeon mold.
So excited for Scourge repaint!
One of the best remakes of laser prime ever! Scourge is up next
Ok, so that torso transformation is actually really good…
Hello, I recently subscribed to your account and I've been thoroughly enjoying your review videos, I do have a question though? Why do you not share images of the boxes the figures come in? Some of us enjoy the box art, design etc so I was curious why they are never shown
if the cab could rotate around so the windshield points down it would feel slightly better I think from a visual standpoint. This guy looks so cool though
I’ve been WAITING for this review! It’s awesome!!!
This would be an good repaint of Optimus prime! ( the original RID show Scourge)!
Year of the goat Optimus retool and paint .
This is the update I had hoped for. Definitely picking up this guy.
Awesome piece! Can not wait for the Black Convoy Repaint.
I remember having the old version of this figure, I got it from my dad when I was a kid. I could never remember what the "Oil Tanker Optimus" was called, but now I do!
Definitely buying this when it drop ! Looks way better then I thought ! You are the “early drop king” always getting them super early salute
This guy would make a perfect Nemesis Prime for my collection.
I think I’m gonna hold off on getting this guy and wait for the inevitable Scourge/Nemesis repaint
SWEEEEEEEEEET. Great review! Thank you!
When it comes to Optimus Prime, I do prefer the classic cab-over version. But I DEFINITELY want this mould recoloured as a "Legacy Generations Selects" RiD Scourge / Nemesis Prime! Please, Hasbro . . .?
We're supposed to be gettin' the repaint into RiD01 Scourge. Annoyingly, it's apparently gonna be a Walmart exclusive.
I never thought I'd like the look of this figure as much as I do! When it first came out, I was iffy about the design due to the existence of the rts version. But now, I really do like it.
Thanks for giving me this first look at the figure, I have something to look forward to in the summer!
I still have the original version with box and it's such a great toy that still holds up to modern Transformer standards.
We need Gen selects bay repaint of this guy
I can’t wait to get my hands on this toy and for the RID Scourge Repaint.
This looks amazing, can’t wait to get my copy
