    My Energon Optimus review was nearly 10 years ago. I'm old.
    I think the yr of the snake colors work well for this set. Feels more like a transformer than a power rangers set.

      It’s odd the colours on both sets. on the energon set the trailer and drones are accurate while the robot isn’t and the head is bad with the mouth bit, and the year of the snake has the better robot while in accurate drones and trailers.

    @aaronlaluzerne392 2 года назад +5

    Another thing to note is that this figure is better when you have Energon Wingsaber on hand. You can split Wingsaber into arms and legs that attach to Energon Optimus Prime and believe me, it makes this figure even a lot better by giving him arm and leg articulation and guns to shoot missiles out of.

  • @KodyCrimson
    @KodyCrimson 2 года назад +31

    I've still got this guy from when Energon came out. I've had a lot of fun with it and he has taken wear and tear, but he still holds up quite well. I miss the UT figures, they're way more sturdy and strong than the modern figures (my Earthrise Soundwave's Ravage lost his leg and now his gun snapped in half less than 6 or so months after getting it).

  • @BonePapi
    @BonePapi 2 года назад +5

    One day I want to see Energon Optimus with Wingsaber's attachments, but with the sections of Wingsaber on both areas. As in, the top half of Wingsaber as both the arms and legs then the bottom half as well, sounds like it would be more cohesive.

    You know if you buy Energon Wing Saber he becomes limbs that not only have a matching color scheme to Prime, but also fixes a lot of the problems he has as well such as giving him better stability, better articulation, and more playability with more missiles to shoot. Plus there's Energon Omega Supreme who does the exact same thing.

    This prime isn't TOO too bad... once it's combined, in fact Energon had a MUCH WORSE Prime figure... Let's not forget the DELUXE Class which could split apart in order to POWERLINX with other deluxe class figures. That figure tosses proportions out the window in both normal bot mode and powerlinx mode.

    4:07, Fun Fact: Takara Tomy made toys of robots in the 90's from 1990 - 1997 called the Brave Series and they have certain aspects seen in Toku, Power Rangers and other mecha animes so calling these PR Toys ain't far off since the Brave toys function the same way especially the combiners.
    What's also cool is that Gaogaigar - the best of the Brave series by many (and you should go check it out), has elements of Ultraman sprinkled onto it, even the finale of the TV series borrowing heavily from the Ultra7 finale.
