I adore him, just purely adore him. That grey is not good, but his blues are very nice nice and the red has a nice shine to it. The plastic feels dense too. His head sculpt is probably one of the best of all time too. He loses well too, and that weird crotch armor can create the illusion of an ab crunch sometimes. The transformation is weird, but it results in one of the best Optimus space truck modes. It looks like a truck, but still distinctly alien, unlike Siege, while not looking like a shoe, like the WFC. I think the Voyager treatment would do wonders for him. Better grey, bit bigger, better transformation, articulation (namely shoulders) and paint, UT I'm happy with what I have. Maybe Haabro will sell him and Megs in a deluxe assortment for better accessibity for kids and then make Voyagers, for older kids and collectors, or even special gifts. Lines like 2007 and Animated had him in multiple sizes, so why not now? But anyway, I'm fine with this little guy, he's just prime.
one thing i did to this prime is use a Sharpie to change the red, and oh boy, does this make him 100 times better, with the metalic finish the yelowed gray looks a lot better in contrast and it makes him look a lot more alive, so just by using a red sharpie you can make him look a lot better
I like the idea of a cheaper mainline Prime, but you can feel the difference between an actual deluxe and an almost deluxe like Hotrod That leader looks shiny though!
honestly if the scale were better and the ankles could move i would say the prime changer of this guy would have fit better as the studio series release. there’s no wasted space, the colours are brighter, and honestly the head looks a lot nicer. the problem with the prime changer line as a substitute for the studio series figures is that bumblebee is fucking huge for some reason and it’s making everybody else seem out of scale by comparison
idk why but the grey plastic looks so much better in ur video than in any other video ive seen, looks so much more grey. gotta see one irl first before i actually get one tho
Matrix of Breedership is gonna be added into my vocab now for this franchise. Still waiting for my towns Walmart to get the TF: One stuff in although I saw hella boxes during my last shift and I was rly trying to not body the pallet and tear into them like I did wen Kingdom came around
Delicious review. Very entertaining commentary! This figure is enroute to me now. I do hope they release a voyager size of this guy. I'm actually surprised the Studio Series wasn't voyager.
the camera makes him look better than the stock images, i'm still unsure if i'll pick him up cuz of shelf space, the prime changer dude is also kinda cool side note, glad to find you on yt, only recently started following on insta, great content :>
yeah no he for sure looks BETTER in hand but not by that much. prime changer has less posing power but is much more pleasing to transform and a lot prettier. and thank you :))))
I'm at least happy for an Optimus Prime at the Deluxe Price point again. Might make a decent TF One Prime until the leader comes out, or a good bargain if this thing goes on clearance when the leader comes out and I feel like feeding my kids in 3 months.
You are funny as hell. Still waiting for my Deluxe Prime, but I shouldn’t have to because that Legacy United deluxe looks like second date material. I’ll probably pick up the Prime Changer Optimus, so he can scale with the GOAT Prime changer sentinel, and because its cheaper.
If I were you just incase if you get tired of Hasbro's Generations and Studio Series toylines of Transformers? I'd just get and review Transformers toys from other companies like Yolopark and Blokees for awhile since that's also what I'm gonna do for now on because apparently I decided to take a not sure if permanent break from Hasbro for a long while. Now, if anyone would excuse me, I'm gonna go wait until I get more info for the reveals of Blokees' TF ONE model kits after seeing the Yolopark ones lol.
I got one and i honestly really enjoy it it poses well and the yellow isn't that bad imo. I cant wait for the megatron to go with this! Great video btw keep it up!!
From what I’ve seen, I like the colors on the Mainline Optimus more, the grey and the nice bright red. The Mainline TFO toyline seems to just be going good in general so far.
the colouring is a MASSIVE dealbreaker for me. and then the takara leader class got revealed soooooo. Still gonna watch the movie first before i buy anything TF:ONE related.
I passed it up a few times, then finally caved in and picked him up. I'm sure they'll come out with some kind of premium edition for this mold, but it's fine for what it is. I just wish it was Orion pax with his face sculpt. Maybe someone will make an upgrade kit for him
I think that other Optimus they showed that had guns coming out of the shoulders gimmick, i think its Takara exclusive or something, looks better than the studio series version. I would probably wait for that one, and hopefully that version comes with a Megatron thats equal to it.
Im glad well have a leader class figure, i suppose with the end of core class the deluxe is taking the place of miniature figures? Or this is because the figure is based on a unfinished design, idk im just glad the leader class figure is coming
Just discovered your channel. Awesome content, subscribed and looking forward to more reviews. Also just picked this Optimus up..... I couldn't agree more with your feelings on the silly wee truck gun things. Instantly threw mine into the grass.
Very glad to see someone pointing out some of the flaws when alot of people are hyping this up. Def doesn't seem like he's a war crime, but he's totally in the county jail
The figure looks oddly fiddly for what looks like it should be a fairly simple transformation, hell, the arms don't even transform Im colorblind, but can just see color well enough to say, that gun accessory on the front is ugly as sin in that color I wish theyd stop with these early release SS toys. They always suck and drag down the ss line for the rest of that movie
I picked this up after seeing the movie, fell in love with the movie and the characters and the franchise again, I was never big into tf had a passive interest playin devastation and shi but the movie and this figure makes me wanna get more into it. Do ya have any recommendations as for any figures (I'm a posing girlie so any figures with good articulation is my thing fr) and or like series or comics or games that I should check out, I know that's like a real broad question but I'm willing to check out anything at this point I'm starving for more of this funny little franchise
currently the skybound transformers comics are peak tf content. highly recommend reading those. and as far as toys, studio series concept art megatron has some of the best articulation of any toy i’ve ever handled. i’d also recommend looking into 3rd party toys if you have the budget for it. glad the movie is getting people back into transformers :)
@diaclona I don't think I've heard of the skybound comics (or maybe I have idk I lose track of the comics that aren't the idw ones lo) but I'll def check those out now, and that megs always looked super cool I regret not picking it up when I saw it in stores like a few years ago cuz aftermarket prices are not kind so far lol. But I'll def keep an eye out for dat guy. third party stuff always looked so cool. Especially compared to superhero shit I collect where they never have anything third party outside of like 12 inch stuff which I don care bout. Seeing crazy shit like mastermind creations and stuff is super cool
I seriously wonder why they chose that type of ugly looking shade for the plastic, but hey at least the mainline toys are actually pretty good this time around :3
This was such a waste of potential for a SS TFOne Prime. I bought him and returned him the SAME day! Genuinely so disappointed with the figure. Robot mode is fine, but the unfinished paintwork, the boring transformation and the lazy vehicle mode were the real kickers for me. One of the worst figures I've seen. I'm so glad Takara is releasing an actual Masterpiece scaled figure. Trying to warn folks off this guy as much as I can. Not worth your money 😭😭
"Trying to warn folks off this guy as much as I can. Not worth your money" Well can you like NOT do that if I want to buy a TF ONE toy from Hasbro or not? because I honestly sometimes just get alittle tired of everybody always telling me not to do something over the littlest things lol.
The touch? No, no, no... The ICK
YOU GOT THE ICK. YOU SAW A RED FLAAAAAAG
Him and Earthrise Wheeljack the kings of good toys with good decos but a weird pre-yellowed looking plastic

i’m glad you can get so much enjoyment out of him! and yeah i think i like this version of the space truck more than siege’s for sure
@@diaclona let's be honest, as Dr Lockdown put it: Siege was always more cyberPUNK than CyberTRON.
the way the hands just don't do anything was ultimately what broke the deal for me.
the minifig you in the corner is very cute
hehe thank you she was a gift :)
one thing i did to this prime is use a Sharpie to change the red, and oh boy, does this make him 100 times better, with the metalic finish the yelowed gray looks a lot better in contrast and it makes him look a lot more alive, so just by using a red sharpie you can make him look a lot better

agreed. i find the prime changer a lot more charming, even if he doesn’t really fit in anywhere. just a fun little fella
@@diaclonahe fits in with the other prime changers 😎
idk why but the grey plastic looks so much better in ur video than in any other video ive seen, looks so much more grey. gotta see one irl first before i actually get one tho
The mainline prime is pretty good
yeah i love him. fun-sized fun time
The mainline is slapping
I need to be given the matrix of breedership 🥴

WHAT THE SCALLOP
The head mold is one of the best ive seen for optimus. Unfortunately everything else sucks.
Matrix of Breedership is gonna be added into my vocab now for this franchise. Still waiting for my towns Walmart to get the TF: One stuff in although I saw hella boxes during my last shift and I was rly trying to not body the pallet and tear into them like I did wen Kingdom came around
don’t exercise restraint. tear into the pallet. consume the packing materials. retrieve the little plastic people
Silver paint is very easy, fyi. That's what I'll do since the mainline is so tiny
Delicious review. Very entertaining commentary! This figure is enroute to me now. I do hope they release a voyager size of this guy. I'm actually surprised the Studio Series wasn't voyager.
thank you! i hope you enjoy him more than i did
His headsculp is the best!

I wish I discovered your channel sooner
aw well i’m glad you’re here now!!
Yeah I was always turned off by how the figure came pre-yellowed
Picked him up yesterday and, after messing with him, honestly, prefer the prime changer
Diaclona is the perfect transfem name
I'm at least happy for an Optimus Prime at the Deluxe Price point again. Might make a decent TF One Prime until the leader comes out, or a good bargain if this thing goes on clearance when the leader comes out and I feel like feeding my kids in 3 months.
i could definitely see it going on clearance given how good distribution has been. and hey your kids could always just chew on old transformers🤷🏻♀️
@@diaclona that's what all the Matrix's are for.
You are funny as hell.
Still waiting for my Deluxe Prime, but I shouldn’t have to because that Legacy United deluxe looks like second date material. I’ll probably pick up the Prime Changer Optimus, so he can scale with the GOAT Prime changer sentinel, and because its cheaper.
thank you :) and yeah the prime changer is a lot of fun, and he scales with sentinel pretty well
I picked up the fig at a big w in tassie. i ended up recolouring mine with gundam markers for a more metallic look
Not the best Optimus, but I love him purely for the fact that he’s a fun little guy. Affordable primes are always pretty fun
I like him but I wish he was bigger and came with a real gun not just the small shoulder guns
I like you channel thank you for being funny

Now, if anyone would excuse me, I'm gonna go wait until I get more info for the reveals of Blokees' TF ONE model kits after seeing the Yolopark ones lol.
And this is why, yet again, the prime changer is the goat. Very solid, good looking, posable little guy with a better altmode than the SS one.
I got one and i honestly really enjoy it it poses well and the yellow isn't that bad imo. I cant wait for the megatron to go with this! Great video btw keep it up!!
glad you’re able to enjoy him! and thank you :)
