That weapon storage is very clever. The head of the hammer looks like a capacitor or similar for the cannon. I assumed however that the variable leg length was intended to make the super robot mode taller.
oh my, having the wheel go to the front section to fill the gap really makes a difference! also Emgo : "we upgraded the galaxy, people!" Samsung : heh.
The longer legs definitely help his proportions, I thought his legs looked weird and stumpy before. It's a nice upgrade kit! I didn't get this figure because I still have my original Cybertron Optimus, but if I had, I'd definitely grab this upgrade kit for him.
I noticed that too! It bears a uncanny resemblance to the Forge Of Solus Prime. Not that I'm complaining, I'm all for a Cybertron homage that also has a homage to TF Prime.
I personally would have prefered just an extra wheel to hang off of the waist like on the original Cybertron/Galaxy Prime, but I guess you can't have everything.
Got this set for mine, it's a great improvement. Especially with not having the big hollow sections of the cannons visible over his shoulders. The height boost is nice too. The weapons are a nice bonus, though I gave the hammer to Magnus instead.
Thanks again, Emgo. Your reviews have been a nice discovery during the quarantine. I have been doing retail therapy, though I admit I jumped back into collecting about a month before the virus really hit the states. Anyway, Galaxy Prime just finished off my desired Siege collection, and based on your review I sprung for the DNA kit. Turns out Magnus is the father!
I’m looking forward to ordering my upgrade kit for my copy of the figure. One thing that is consistent with the figure is the loose hips. Mine can hardly support the backpack when I pose it but other than that, it’s still a solid figure. One thing I found was that he can easily wield the weapons from the upgrade kit for TLK Optimus Prime. Sword fits snuggily while the shield can go into the arm ports albeit somewhat loose
I love that they added the second knee joint in. It was the first thing I said about it when they first released the promo pics. I do plan on picking up the two sets at some point. I haven't yet because I need five at the moment. I did a custom Delta Magnus, Galaxy Upgrade Nova Prime and a Galaxy Upgrade Toxitron. It should be easy to paint the new parts for Delta and Nova but I don't think I can for Toxitron as I think I mixed paint for him and now don't have enough for such a large area. I also don't have time to do this anymore. I might just end up with one for Optimus and one for Magnus and leave the other three alone.
I would really like this upgrade kit for my optimus prime but I've looked at many sites and they say they are out of stock. Getting desperate now lol. Any advice EmGo
The improved: Our worlds are in danger! Edit: you should repaint it into nemesis prime, with Black as the Primary Color, Purple as the Secondary Color, And Teal as the Tertiary Color, and a little bit of gray left in.
Seriously considering getting this kit along with Ultra Magnus. Both Optimus and Magnus are among my top 5 autobots and I love both Siege figures, and seeing how much these kits add to both is really appealing. I just have some concerns given that this would be the first third party mods I'd be installing. Seeing how simple it is here really helps, thanks Emgo. Gave me more of a reason to get them. Only thing I'm not so fond of are the sizes of the new weapons, as when I get both kits I'd be getting two hammers and two axes. The axe will go to Optimus and honestly it's a pretty good size. The hammer will go to Magnus, but it looks like a freaking judge's gavel. Maybe I'm just spoiled by Animated and Prime, but when Ultra Magnus wields a hammer it should be a huge massive war hammer. Ultra Magnus has Smashdown hammer mode equipped but it's still too small.
@@Adatunji Maybe he wants to make Magnus taller too. :) I'm actually surprised that both kits cost the same but Magnus doesn't get extra gap fillers like Prime did. Poor Magnus, always being denied something. :p
After watching this review i order both sets the one for him and the one for Ultra Magnus the only thing that is gonna suck is that both of my figures have been upgraded by toyhax decals. Toyhax is gonna have to come out with a decal set for the upgrade kits cause they are gonna look weird with no decals on the legs and feet.
What is the obsession with Hammers with Magnuses, Bumblebee, and now Primes and other Autobots? Lol! Anyway, looks like a good kit. The legs are pretty nice, but sucks you have to discard the stock ones. Hmmm, food for the Sharkticons, perhaps? =P i missed not having a "taller" than most skit at the end. Oh well, maybe next time.
I accidentally purchased premium MAGNUS so I couldn't give him the upgrade kit but if I ever get this figure I'm going to see if I can get this cause it really seems worth it
You mean Rhisling? Yeah, somebody *cough* Dr. Wu *cough* should put out one for this guy. Of course, you could always dig out your old Cybertron (or Galaxy Force) Vector Prime figure and just give him that one. It's a 5mm handle, so it would work just fine
I got them because they looked amazing, but the material is flimsy and parts kept falling off and needing to be reattached. They’re more of a hassle than they’re worth.
Can you still use the new knee joint when compressed? One thing I never liked about this mould is that the original knee joint is too high up on the leg, not the length of the leg itself.
I found this ratchet kit on tf safari. It does something no other kit did hide the head in truck mode. As for magnus Ngl the best part was it was for Netflix so it's my version I can fix the ass looking smokestacks
I prefer the other upgrade kit; does the same job without the fiddly bits for the new weapons; plus Prime don't need extra weapons. The front wheel thing doesn't bother me that much, since I will be displaying my Galaxy Prime in robot mode. I have to ask though; was it hard removing the other panels so you could plug the new ones in?
That weapon storage is very clever. The head of the hammer looks like a capacitor or similar for the cannon. I assumed however that the variable leg length was intended to make the super robot mode taller.
oh my, having the wheel go to the front section to fill the gap really makes a difference!
also
Emgo : "we upgraded the galaxy, people!"
Samsung : heh.
I like that.
Sent from my Galaxy S10e
Especially because it's also like that on the Cybertron Leader Class
Lieutenant Prime, you got new legs!
Magic legs
Hahahahaha. That’s a good reference
The longer legs definitely help his proportions, I thought his legs looked weird and stumpy before. It's a nice upgrade kit! I didn't get this figure because I still have my original Cybertron Optimus, but if I had, I'd definitely grab this upgrade kit for him.
That hammer strongly resembles the Forge of Solus Prime.
I had advantages as of the use of the forge of Solus Prime Slayers of primes if you will
It was probably intended for their Ultra Magnus kit.
Gawdley 14 you mixed up a couple of lines there
I noticed that too! It bears a uncanny resemblance to the Forge Of Solus Prime. Not that I'm complaining, I'm all for a Cybertron homage that also has a homage to TF Prime.
@@Webshooters1 definitely not a complaint, just an observation. I love the Prime weapon designs.
Super Mode! Cue overly lengthy Montage Sequence with Anime Streak backgrpund & exciting Theme Music!
This figure needs a Leo Breaker arm that doesn't transform at all. I've been wanting a good looking Savage Claw Optimus for years.
If you have access to a 3D printer, there’s a savage claw mode you can get from Thingiverse
Prime's big chest makes me think he's been stocking up on pizza bagels.
Energon flavered pizza bagels
That upgrade kit just make that Cybertron Prime even better!! It’s just beautiful
I personally would have prefered just an extra wheel to hang off of the waist like on the original Cybertron/Galaxy Prime, but I guess you can't have everything.
Looks like you could probably leave the moving wheel pegged into his hip and still keep the knees and thigh rotation.
Cant you just leave the bumper of the truck down in the robot mode?
Me: you are too much over quarantine, didn’t you?
Prime: I dunno what you mean
Primes belly: CHUNK
Hmmm, I wonder if these guys will make a similar upgrade kit for Nova Prime when he comes out? Maybe they’ll add a sword accessory and bigger wings?
Got this set for mine, it's a great improvement. Especially with not having the big hollow sections of the cannons visible over his shoulders. The height boost is nice too. The weapons are a nice bonus, though I gave the hammer to Magnus instead.
Great. Kit Looks awesome. Much better than the last upgrade kit for this optimus

Ooooh, that is some excellent weapon storage. Always appreciated.

This man has been doing this for about 13 years and I’m sad that doesn’t have at least 20 million subscribers this man earns 1000 million subscribers
Just the cannon Gap covers and extra weapons makes this WAY better than the previous upgrade kit you showed.
This is such a good set. DNA designs stuff is always so good.
I like that the new legs, help the proportions in the body so it doesn't look so boxy.
This fixes every issue I have with this figure. Thanks for the heads up. Ordered.
Bro, the new skylinx looks amazing!
*I'm currently sinking down a third-part Transformers rabbit hole*
Who wants it at home?
“Prime! You got new legs Optimus Prime”
I love that they added the second knee joint in. It was the first thing I said about it when they first released the promo pics.

Do you also have the Rachet's Operating Studio ROS-004 upgrade kit for the Siege Leader Galaxy upgrade Optimus Prime?
I would really like this upgrade kit for my optimus prime but I've looked at many sites and they say they are out of stock. Getting desperate now lol. Any advice EmGo
Im 12 and have been watching this channel before foc and i still love this channel he deserves more than 417k keep up the good work. :)
"Our credit cards are in danger,.."
Do you have a issue with the c clip that connects to the wings in truck mode?
The improved:
Our worlds are in danger!
Edit: you should repaint it into nemesis prime, with Black as the Primary Color, Purple as the Secondary Color, And Teal as the Tertiary Color, and a little bit of gray left in.
Hey emgo big fan and all I wanna say is keep up the good work
thank you very much :)
emgo316 ❤️
Already sold out on TF Source and BBTS.
How do I get the whole Galaxy upgrade kit I've never seen this until now it's really awesome
Seriously considering getting this kit along with Ultra Magnus. Both Optimus and Magnus are among my top 5 autobots and I love both Siege figures, and seeing how much these kits add to both is really appealing.

Ultra Magnus has Smashdown hammer mode equipped but it's still too small.
This kit is just Prime! A definite plus!
The leg extension does "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" xD
Still needs the boots’ holes filled like Magus’. Get on it Dr Wu
Now that's absolutely ...nice!
Will you be getting the ultra magnus version?
Hopefully emgo dose
He doesn’t really need to I think. Magnus really only needs the hammer I think.
@@Adatunji Maybe he wants to make Magnus taller too. :) I'm actually surprised that both kits cost the same but Magnus doesn't get extra gap fillers like Prime did. Poor Magnus, always being denied something. :p
Well it might be because Magnus already has a gap filler kit. It's a Dr. Wu kit.
I felt the upgrade are like DLC for figures
Nice video I heard about beastbox and mega box u could do a video on some of these things. Keep up the good work
After watching this review i order both sets the one for him and the one for Ultra Magnus the only thing that is gonna suck is that both of my figures have been upgraded by toyhax decals. Toyhax is gonna have to come out with a decal set for the upgrade kits cause they are gonna look weird with no decals on the legs and feet.
That looks so much better.
4:22-4:44 That’s what I call an easy fix.
Idk. This looks good but I got the DNA designs upgrade kit for POTP Optimal Optimus and it was real flimsy and didn’t work at all
I gotta remember to get this upgrade kit when I buy this guy
Great video and cool toy !
But I would really wanted a little funny stop motion bonus at the end with this figure and megatron 😥
I don't do gags for upgrade kits
emgo316 ha ok
What's the best way for tightening up loose joints?
what will make a good upgrade is the release of Leobreaker and Wing-Saber as weaponizers
I know I was off topic about this video but I was just curious about your thoughts on the new line of studio series.
What is the obsession with Hammers with Magnuses, Bumblebee, and now Primes and other Autobots? Lol! Anyway, looks like a good kit. The legs are pretty nice, but sucks you have to discard the stock ones. Hmmm, food for the Sharkticons, perhaps? =P
i missed not having a "taller" than most skit at the end. Oh well, maybe next time.
I don't do gags for upgrade kits.
are you going to get this kit for Ultra Magnus?
Hey Emgo how he looks like now standing next to the old leader class toys
Hi, how do you fix the stress mark I have the same issue please help, thanks!
Again, I’m so upset this figure wasn’t available in New Zealand. Does anyone know a website selling it for a reasonable price?
Hey emgo, what do you think about the new line of studio series? I can't wait for you to review them and see a completed devestater.
Goddamn, I really wish I'd grabbed this while it was available!
Colored boxes are now back YES!
I accidentally purchased premium MAGNUS so I couldn't give him the upgrade kit but if I ever get this figure I'm going to see if I can get this cause it really seems worth it
wish they include the Vector Prime OObari Great Sword so you can post him like on the ending mrEmgo The OObari mech pose Troope.
You mean Rhisling? Yeah, somebody *cough* Dr. Wu *cough* should put out one for this guy. Of course, you could always dig out your old Cybertron (or Galaxy Force) Vector Prime figure and just give him that one. It's a 5mm handle, so it would work just fine
@@rileymartin8284 thnxz i forgot there a Vector prime TF cybertron Figure.
how tall is he compared to the older cybertron prime?
Does the tabs on the side of the legs fold inwards? They stick out like a sore thumb
no
This is a good upgrade kit, but I can not help but feel remorse that it doesn't fix the damn fake wheels on the wings!
How do you fix the small stress marks like that?
hit it with a hair dryer. makes the marks go away.
I got them because they looked amazing, but the material is flimsy and parts kept falling off and needing to be reattached. They’re more of a hassle than they’re worth.
upgrade kits: feels like unfinished product.
Can you still use the new knee joint when compressed?
One thing I never liked about this mould is that the original knee joint is too high up on the leg, not the length of the leg itself.
yes
@@emgo316 okay, I'm definitely interested in the Magnus version of this kit bow
I kinda wanted to see a comparison of this optimus prime with the addons to the cybertron optimus
Thank you Emgo for the videos they are so 😎 cool.
I'm sorting to think that hasbro that does many hollow spots to figures for upgrade kits
There’s another upgrade kit right?
Are those legs upgrades available for ultra. Magnus
yes
You said you could fix the stress mark with some heat? I haven't hear of this...any recommended tutorials on this?
just hit it with a hair dryer. it makes the marks go away
@@emgo316 seriously never knew this... Thank you!
I like your new profile logo
Do they have an upgrade kit for ultra magnus?
yes
I'll get the Ultra Magnus upgrade as I passed on this OP for the simple fact, it just looked uninspired and I got the original Cybertron OP figure
How do u find them
Cool stuff.
Hey Emgo are you getting the dna dk-14 for ultra magnus
yes
emgo316 how soon I really wanna see your opinion on it before I buy it
I don't know. I'll get to it when I can. it's basically the same as this kit so I'm guessing my opinion won't be all that different lol.
emgo316 I guess I just like watching your videos and I like ultra magnus more than galaxy prime
Did someone say “OUR WORLDS ARE IN DANGER!”
I found this ratchet kit on tf safari. It does something no other kit did hide the head in truck mode. As for magnus Ngl the best part was it was for Netflix so it's my version I can fix the ass looking smokestacks
why do i want the figure just to get the upgrade kit?
It's a box! But with colours!
Is the magnus kit basically the same thing emgo?
The Ultra Magnus set lacks the cannon gap panels, and I think the weapons aren't painted silver. Otherwise pretty much the same from what I see.
When the legs dont want to stand up on their own oof
❤️❤️⚡❤️Love this Channel!!❤️❤️❤️⚡⚡❤️❤️💛⚡💛
I hope they make this kit for Magnus for the new legs
Okay just a opinion, to bad that kit doesn't include the smaller prime head without the battlemask up.
Wish someone would fix the chest the super mod chest is just too small for me
Anyone know if they'll make a version for magnus
There's already a version out for Siege Magnus.
But they still can’t fix the fist problem. 😢
I prefer the other upgrade kit; does the same job without the fiddly bits for the new weapons; plus Prime don't need extra weapons.
The front wheel thing doesn't bother me that much, since I will be displaying my Galaxy Prime in robot mode.
I have to ask though; was it hard removing the other panels so you could plug the new ones in?
it made prime into a scania 4 front wheel truck me likes.
I have the kit but it but I got it together I think it was earthrise
now if only there was a savage claw mode
Love the video
Where'd u get this
