I absolutely loved this figure when I bought it. Felt like an official figure at such a reasonable price and not to mention my copy had absolutely zero issues. Buying this compared to the overpriced official was so worth it.
@@Susukie Honestly, my Nemesis and SG versions of this KO have lasted several months with no real issues and feel just as nice as the official SS38 I also own. To the untrained eye, they might as well be official.
Man i got this from Amazon thinking it was the official one, i was wondering why took SOOO long for it to ship. Still an amazing figure, the plastic is very pretty, somewhat transparent with shiny/wavy bits inside.
@@LIMITLESS2774 yeah and I got more than half of the studio series devastator for $2 per figure and the dotm shockwave and I checked and they are official there was even the upgrade kit too
With how well this figure turned out, I hope they can do the same with the SS RotB Prime, since Hasblow thought it was a good idea to make it a limited exclusive release, to freaking Target, no less.
I have the same figure. Aside from some debris from injection molding, it’s fantastic. Watch out for those ear-horns, though. Mine developed a stress mark on the left one after a few days of handling.
lol, exactly my thoughts i had with this figure, i almost broke a nail trying to flip up the head panel, and i didnt think much of the stress marks on the thighs.
I ordered the same one. And for a knockoff, it's pretty decent, and the joints are pretty tight. The details in person are fantastic. I think they did an amazing job.
There's also a Shattered Glass version, which is great for those of us that couldn't get (or didn't want) the Earthrise SG Prime 2-pack. I've got the Nemesis and SG versions and they're just as good as the my official TT version too.
So your saying he isn’t a real transformer fan because he made a mistake. Bro seriously it happens sometimes, you forget a step in the transformation or you don’t realize what that joint was for. Im not trying to attack you but, people make mistakes sometimes. Its human nature
@MechaZeeReviews have you been able to get the head piece back to normal ? Thinking of buying it but I want to know if I will be able to transformer it and not have it stuck in vehicle mode. & also roughly how many inches is the the figure ? In regular non transformer mode? Thank you in advanced
@@ramirez9523 So I was an idiot and was doing it wrong the head is fine lol. You should also be able to loosen the top flap that's on top in the vehicle mode. Size wise it's the same heigh as the original which I think is like a bit over 7 inches?
so worth it. impress with the details. i guess because it was mass produced and buyers loved it, so no problem selling it for low price. also the character will always be loved by many generations.
I think the truck mode for the ss mold is not officially licensed but I still really want the ss version and yes I noticed the difference in plastic color on the leg pieces
There are some well done KOs out there such as the TLK Megatron Ko made by the same company (with the same box design). Speaking of really good KOs, one company is also knocking off Studio Series figures and have done SSO5 and SS32 OP (even with separate packages for weapons and a trailer), SS61 Sentinel Prime and the long awaited SS14 Ironhide KO which should finally offset the rarity of the poorly distributed Hasbro toy which scalpers are selling at ridiculous prices. Edit: they also made SS31 Megatron but the chest redesign they implemented was slightly too big and ruined the figure somewhat
Finally, optimus figure with his feet hiding, the first one i see breaking the curse of "obvious feet part in the back" 👍 Too bad is a knock off, so quality wise is not really good 😭
6:03 I bought the same thing as you I know why but my legs aren’t yelling at all. They’re just gray. I’m happy that they’re gray though because the yellow looks horrible on Optimus prime
I Bought this bootleg optimus because i didn't want to pay for the original since it's too expensive for me, Now i know i bought a good bootleg, Nice review
in truck mode, instead put the gun on the trailer hole as instructed by the manual,, you can also put the gun under the "chassis" and it would sit tight.. but the wheels will float a little bit.. 😅
I have this one but the shattered Glass decal, it's pretty good. Also, i have baiwei ss05 metallic version, and i have to say: it's amazing, better than star leader, I've had it for over a year since i bougth and it's still solid and nothing broke or came broken, i recomend
Well, I ordered a knock off of a knock off because I got this from a different seller with the exact same manual, but in a completely different box that’s very generic. The diecast parts are still there, but transformation is a lot harder to do than the one shown, and the colors are a lot more darker, so the bootleg of a bootleg is not as good as the original bootleg.
I have that same knock off but it’s not brown in spots. Also the Forearms are twisted in the wrong spot the window stop supposed to be on the back of the arm
Just bought a bootleg Optimum pride. Just for disclaimer, not all bootleg transformers are made equal. mines got a lot of nubs and the articulation joint for the right arm are very loose making it difficult for the figure to pose in a certain way. i can tell that mines going to broke sooner. so i don't recommend anyone looking for a figure with good quality
In hand, if I can get this figure for $29 or I can get a premium finish officials for 80 what would you recommend? This looks really nice and the video is great but you never really Cantel until you handle a figure.
I’d say get this KO mold and figure out if you want the premium finish ver later on. I got this as well as an official SS38 and the differences are pretty much indistinguishable unless you really look.
Ours had problems with the paint and diecast chip and the feet would not lock in place. Overall despite the darker colors which looked nothing like the sellers pictures, it is a good sculpt but really top heavy so kept falling over. Wish it came with the box ours had none. In any event a decent KO but would consider other sculpts over this model.
I got the mechanical alliance dark commander and his upper torso acts like the official version but the gun Is lose but the shins don't tab in so that's a drop
I literally have the knockoff Mpm-10 (the one where you broke the Matrix holder 🥲) as well as this one... except the Nemesis Prime one. I love absolutely everything about it, except the feet parts, especially during transformation. One of mine snapped off, and I had to glue it back on, and now can never transform it again. 😫
I absolutely loved this figure when I bought it. Felt like an official figure at such a reasonable price and not to mention my copy had absolutely zero issues.
Buying this compared to the overpriced official was so worth it.
Bruh, for a KO it's kinda expensive.
The only issue mine had was that the joints felt too tight in the shoulders and a gimped leg but everything else is fine 😊
@@rik.2293 It's ten dollars, it costs less than the core class figures.
disagree, ko does not last very long and its very loose plus they have garbage quality for each copy , but its your choice and i respect that
@@Susukie Honestly, my Nemesis and SG versions of this KO have lasted several months with no real issues and feel just as nice as the official SS38 I also own. To the untrained eye, they might as well be official.
Me realizing the forearms are wrong and that I'm a fake transformers fan 😞
Nahh youre a real transformers fan
Most transformers fans do miss a. Step I’ve even done it from time to time
Man i got this from Amazon thinking it was the official one, i was wondering why took SOOO long for it to ship. Still an amazing figure, the plastic is very pretty, somewhat transparent with shiny/wavy bits inside.
Thats was the same problem I thought it was the originally but it was not and 13 days to wait.
"somewhat transparent with shiny/wavy bits inside" may be pretty, but that's usually a sign of fragility.
I found it at a goodwill for $1 and only realized it was fake after not seeing that auto bot insignia
@@Gojiboi_productionsWtf you got lucky
@@LIMITLESS2774 yeah and I got more than half of the studio series devastator for $2 per figure and the dotm shockwave and I checked and they are official there was even the upgrade kit too
I think those "dark grey" pieces on the legs are just yellowed, not a different collor of plastic.
Just for camparison, my copy is fine thought.
Same. ‘Cause I’ve NEVER seen yellowing on that plastic…
Is it a different type of plastic on this one?
@@orionpaxproductions2702 Perhaps, r maybe it's just yellowed do to poor storage.
I have this exact same figure in Nemesis Prime colors. It's pretty good, although the hold on mine to the Ion Blaster is very loose.
With how well this figure turned out, I hope they can do the same with the SS RotB Prime, since Hasblow thought it was a good idea to make it a limited exclusive release, to freaking Target, no less.
No doubt they will.
I got this one. Better paint than the official. Great review

I Just bought the nemesis only issues i have are the wheels dont all touch the ground arms a tad loose but other than that i love it
It's a good figure. I have him and the Nemesis Prime version. Plus he was only $20. Also you can place his gun on his back for storage. Be blessed
i accidenlty clicked this while i had the box right in front of me, 10/10, love you man.
Honestly this looks so good you couldnt convince me it was a bootleg if i didnt know any better
Im totally gonna buy this it looks amazing lol
A real transformer fan would know that those arms are mistransformed.
I hope you’re joking. It’s one thing to point out a mistransformation. It’s another to gatekeep while doing so.
So your saying he isn’t a real transformer fan because he made a mistake. Bro seriously it happens sometimes, you forget a step in the transformation or you don’t realize what that joint was for. Im not trying to attack you but, people make mistakes sometimes. Its human nature
I just took this comment as a joke
@@MrBoi-po9hc This is litterally a gag he uses in most of his videos.
@@bleppyboo Because it is. People are dumb
I was able to get the premium finish version at a local toy store and I absolutely love the mold.
Im glad you exist, i really needed your video 😂 now he will stay in vehicle mode forever
I tried transforming it back into robot mode recently and I can’t get the head flap piece to open now 😭
@MechaZeeReviews have you been able to get the head piece back to normal ? Thinking of buying it but I want to know if I will be able to transformer it and not have it stuck in vehicle mode. & also roughly how many inches is the the figure ? In regular non transformer mode? Thank you in advanced

I got my copy of this figure for like 9$ since it was 20$ and I had like 13$ off. Amazing figure
6:25 they are different colours because it’s yellowing.
00:11 why that exists
please keep including the alien attack girl, it's just the perfect comparison tool.
Yuck...

Links for those ?
Glad this thing has an Normal Price this thing is More
cheaper than an a core class figure which is legacy
Mine was delivered today and i love it
I bought the nemesis one for $5 and you know what you get more on what you psy for the figure is fantastic..
Did you know you can actually store the gun in the truck's bed, in truck mode? Weapon integration!
Finally, optimus figure with his feet hiding, the first one i see breaking the curse of "obvious feet part in the back" 👍
Too bad is a knock off, so quality wise is not really good 😭
I got the Nemesis Prime deco from the same company, same box and everything, and I love it, very good for what is a KO
The hand Part didnt transform correctly. The panel supposed at the Back of the hands, not the side of the hands
Trust me. It gonna make the figure better
Glad i bought this figure! I got it for 25 usd.
Your copy has photodegradation btw. From the looks of it, it was stored in a place frequented by a smoker before you bought it
I had this one. This figure so damn good.
6:03 I bought the same thing as you I know why but my legs aren’t yelling at all. They’re just gray. I’m happy that they’re gray though because the yellow looks horrible on Optimus prime
You really love the word 'detail' don't cha??😂😂
Just got one from ebay for $25, love it.
I got the nemesis/scourge repaint of this comapny’s knock off and i love having it.
I Bought this bootleg optimus because i didn't want to pay for the original since it's too expensive for me, Now i know i bought a good bootleg, Nice review
SS 38 PRIME IS THE UNDESPUTED GOAT
You can put ion blaster all the way in the trailer port. It will stay better.
Looks like the parts that are different colors are actually yellowing
got both this one and the nemesis prime for less than 32 dollars from china a few months ago great figures for the cost
I have this version since almost 7 months and it's very nice and it never broke i live it
Had this guy in all 3 colors.
Settled for sg since it's tha rarer recolor.
I’ve always thought that he was from genshin impact🤷♂️
Yea! I remember Optimus Shogun but Optimus Prime? Who is he?
@@CT-TK idk probably a clone or another avatar of shogun

Just found your channel last week and watching your previous videos. Keep up the work
0:02 You know. I actually want Optimus Prime and the Autobots become playable in Genshin Impact.
I like how the chest is made of diecast. I had him for 6 month and found out in winter that he has diecast. And for some reason I got 2
Your fired for that beginning joke.
He's obviously from Metalgear Rising.
He’s also cheaper than retail ss38, with die cast metal! This is a no brainer
I was gonna get this bad boy had it not been for wasting my money on SS 44
The reissue?
@@Archive_7802 nah, the OG Studio Series release, there isnt a Target (where i belive most Buzzworthies are found) so it definetly wasnt the BB one
@@twistedaxles9126 OH. Shit… sorry about that…
That yellowing, yeesh
this is what im getting for my video
I have the nemesis colors version of this and while its just as good as the legit SS38, the paint on the metal parts has chipped a bit
I have one and it's wonderful
I have that same knock off but it’s not brown in spots. Also the Forearms are twisted in the wrong spot the window stop supposed to be on the back of the arm
The yellowing is petty atrotious but the mold is really good
W ALIEXPRESS BABY
I have this figure and its pretty cool
Thank you..
I find the fact that the yelloed plastic just makes him look really dusty kind of funny.
I’m planning on picking up this ko
it arrive today, the best 50 soles of my life, thanks aliexpress
Just bought a bootleg Optimum pride. Just for disclaimer, not all bootleg transformers are made equal. mines got a lot of nubs and the articulation joint for the right arm are very loose making it difficult for the figure to pose in a certain way. i can tell that mines going to broke sooner.
so i don't recommend anyone looking for a figure with good quality
I realized that now they are coming out with some parts that are sand colored and not gray
I have the nemises prime version...so friggin cool
I own this aswell! I got two and my second one broke!! Be careful with it unless mine was damaged before
I recently got into collecting transformers and now I can't tell if I bought SS 38 or this guy they are both so good someone please help
I have this toy and it's so cool bro
Can you review the nemesis one please?
In hand, if I can get this figure for $29 or I can get a premium finish officials for 80 what would you recommend? This looks really nice and the video is great but you never really Cantel until you handle a figure.
I’d say get this KO mold and figure out if you want the premium finish ver later on. I got this as well as an official SS38 and the differences are pretty much indistinguishable unless you really look.
I like this Transformers toy
I think your gas tanks and all that have yellowed. Mine are more of this dark almost gun metal color. How long have you had the figure, is it new?
Same thing, I bought mine like a year ago but the gas tanks are gun mental
I actually have this optimus prime and yes it is very good 👍
Thank you. You made me laugh. Otherwise an awesome looking OP. 6.17 Definitely a different colouration.
my copy's part where it goes in the head mold is not tight so i can easily use my fingers to open it
Cool video mechazee reviews

I have the Nemesis prime version and it Has the same Exact problems😳
How do you like the idea, try to build Lego Optimus Prime that also transforms?
You need to Snap the Ion Blaster to the thingy bruh so it'll get attached 💀 hope you'll notice me 😅
is there any good extra accessories you can get that scale for this guy anyone know?
I need that figure cause I missed out on studio series 38 and I tried to get it
It also has a purple version of it I have it
Yes it is different color
i ordered that
