Even after getting the SS86 Optimus Prime, this DCS Optimus Prime is the one I have been looking forward to the most. His deco is perfect, has the more interesting detail that go along with the Siege/Earthrise/Kingdom/Legacy looks and the scale matches the previous lines better than SS86 OP. The New Age Megatron is also another big reason I'm excited for this Optimus Prime. SS86 OP is good but Hasbro/Takara are will need to re-release all new versions of all the figures from the previous lines to make them look like they belong together. SS86 OP jus stands out too much, but he does get his own shelf.
No way this is better than the Studio Series Prime IMO. The legs are super long and the wheels exposed on the backpack are an eyesore. This is probably the best color-way of this mold so far though.
Depends on what you're looking for. Objectively of course SS86 is better, but one glaring flaw can sink a great figure. A lot of folks myself included think SS is way too big compared to the figures we already have. You can say what you like about his superiority. At the end of the day I have no interest in rebuying my collection in a head higher scale. So this is definitely the "better" Prime for me.
Looks better than earthrise deco. But still, proportions are really odd because of those hips making the legs too long. Looks ok when standind straight, but as soon as you give him dynamic poses, spreading legs, it looks bad. Siege mold hips were better. By the way, you forgot to fold the 2 pannels on the lower back from your 86 optimus Prime (like we often do, haha!).
I very much enjoyed the ER mold before I sold mine off, but I might actually grab this pack, cuz I also don’t own Jazz. Big thing this has for me over the SS86 is scale, though SS86 looks like an absolute Marvel
The upper body transformation is PEAK/BEST out of EVERY Optimus Prime figure (86 Optimus included)💯 This one is a hell of a lot funner to transform than 86 Optimus Prime who is still the best Optimus ever made!💯 Dramatic Megatron and Soundwave have HORRIBLE colors.....TOO DAMN SHINNY IT HURTS MY EYES SERIOUSLY NO JOKE😣💯 I swapped the shinny legs out with Earthrise Megatron's legs and have Soundwave away and kept Legacy Soundwave (86 Soundwave is coming next year per leaks👍🏽👍🏽💯)
I do as well . I have both but I always liked the extra detail of seige /kingdom /earth rise figures had . They look close enough to g1 but the extra little details look so cool to me . Plus the transformation is just simple fun to fiddle with on earth rise
This mould has really grown on me over time. I was kind of biased against it because my ER copy had misaligned parts in chest (chest didn't peg all the way into abs part). I got SG version (once it got re-released) which is fine in terms of qc. I have just two complaints - rear wheels (not-so-much Earth mode) and front wheels (the way these end up in robot mode). On side note, I guess this is the way now abandoned (?) Premium Finish line should have been done.
yeah, it's a classic bro congrats on scoring that SG Optimus! and not paying scalper prices for it! yeah, valid points yeah, i never really got into that PF line since it was a hit-or-miss type of line...
You sold off Siege and Earthrise Optimus Prime, and this one looks so cool colors, red, white, and blue. Optimus Prime he was called Convoy, the original toy he was part of the Diaclone toys.
I'll stick with my ER, but he does look really nice all tooned out. I've never been a huge fan of the mold. It's good not perfect. At least he's in scale with the rest of my figures. Fyi the earthrise knees are identical. Just checked.
This is the best figure reviewer out there! Been watching you since the fxfranz channel you always brought something different and nobody ever matched your poses either. Nice work bro!
Is the blue window the same as the old one? Bcuz I think this one might be a lil bit better. Or maybe its the illusion coming from the surrounding colour😅

well said bro
I am curious about that new Optimus Prime as well... it doesn't look promising from the promo pics, though...
@chefatron do you mean the New Age Megatron? I know you have reviewed both SS86 Optimus Prime and this Dramatic Capture Series Optimus Prime.
No way this is better than the Studio Series Prime IMO. The legs are super long and the wheels exposed on the backpack are an eyesore. This is probably the best color-way of this mold so far though.

Agreed. I prefer this over SS86 OP.
cool man
Looks better than earthrise deco. But still, proportions are really odd because of those hips making the legs too long.

By the way, you forgot to fold the 2 pannels on the lower back from your 86 optimus Prime (like we often do, haha!).
I agree Siege has better proportions. I feel like its the arms that throw this one off by comparison. Still a wonderful figure though.
definitely ! yeah, I get what you're saying man, the legs do appear too long...
hahaahaha yeah, my bad LOL
Very tempted to get this even having earthrise optimus and SS86 optimus
oh you gotta get this one !! so worth it bro
While 86 is the best one, this repaint makes it the second best to use interesting colors! SG is third for me
I completely agree bro
I very much enjoyed the ER mold before I sold mine off, but I might actually grab this pack, cuz I also don’t own Jazz. Big thing this has for me over the SS86 is scale, though SS86 looks like an absolute Marvel
cool bro
yeah, I agree man
I'm actually glad I sold off my ER... this is way better
6:13 Yes the knee on the original could also bend that far
I see.. thanks man!
If SS86 and Earthrise had a baby
yeah hahahaha
It's out of a portion prime. Then we got to the far superior 86 optimus. Prime, you can paint this one up and it's not gonna change anything
The 86 version chest is clearly out of proportion. I like the Earthrise.
86 looks like he has no neck and the chest just looks to big while giving a squaty thick waist.
@@KingSausage74 Now I can't unsee.
All of them are slightly out of proportion
And SS86 isn’t? G1 was never consistent

cool man, fair points...
Yeah I like this more than SS86
cool man!
I do as well . I have both but I always liked the extra detail of seige /kingdom /earth rise figures had . They look close enough to g1 but the extra little details look so cool to me . Plus the transformation is just simple fun to fiddle with on earth rise
Finally a review on this guy. I feel like everyone is sleeping on this one because of ss86 prime
Nah, I'm in a coma for that one.
thanks man, glad you enjoyed the review 😀
Should’ve came with an updated Mirage instead of Jazz. I dig Jazz, but we got like 3-4 versions of him. 🤷🏽♂️
perhaps... but jazz is a figure that a lot of collectors have found difficult to obtain, so...
This mould has really grown on me over time. I was kind of biased against it because my ER copy had misaligned parts in chest (chest didn't peg all the way into abs part).

Yooo, if I get this who’s gonna want that Optimus and Jazz since all I want is the beautiful mainframe
oh okay....
11/10 Epic win review!.
thank you so much my friend 😀
@chefatron You welcome.
People have more than one Prime posed on their shelf..this can go with any display right along the 86 one. Esp if you get that NewAge megatron.
oh so true brother LOL
I thought about that Romulus but it's just waaaayyy smaller than I expected.... so I'm reconsidering getting one...
Much better than the Earthrise version...
I agree!
Better paint, better plastc, better Optimus Prime!
oh definitely !
mmm i don’t know, i don’t have any of these figures but u have ss86 prime, do i still get this one?
if you're really a huge fan of optimus prime and you collect a of the figures, then yes
but if you don't need a lot on your shelf, then no
@ guess that will be a yes then! I only have the shatters glass version of this mold.
You sold off Siege and Earthrise Optimus Prime, and this one looks so cool colors, red, white, and blue.
Optimus Prime he was called Convoy, the original toy he was part of the Diaclone toys.
oh yeah, thank the all-spark I did
yeah, you're right
Should i get him for 40usd? just for prime??
how badly do you want him?
Congratulations
thank you so much my friend 😀
I'll stick with my ER, but he does look really nice all tooned out. I've never been a huge fan of the mold. It's good not perfect. At least he's in scale with the rest of my figures.
Fyi the earthrise knees are identical. Just checked.
cool man
I see... thanks!
Yung Earthrise ko di ko pa rin binubuksan. Hehe!
hahahaahaa
This is the best figure reviewer out there! Been watching you since the fxfranz channel you always brought something different and nobody ever matched your poses either. Nice work bro!
I agree with that word for word love this guy and this figure
@@Deltacon84 thank you so much, I appreciate you!
oh thank you so much for your support brother, it really means a lot!
Surely you’re keeping this one ? ?
oh definitely!!!!! 100%. unless takara tomy re-releases this one with a better trailer LOL
The price😅😅😅
hahahaha
Yeah the pack is so vintage 😮 and the colors of the transformers is very very good good, Choice 👍
@@gdfish yeah, definitely !
Now did you do another day jazz in the pack review beacause him love so jazz
@@gdfish yeah, I reviewed jazz from this pack
Yup I agreed Takara does a better job than hasbro on the paint department Takara for the win.
definitely!!!
My primus this things good better get it for ma b day
oh definitely !
im getting this guy because of i dont like 100% cartoon accurate primes. no leg wheels is just a dumb design to me.
cool man, happy hunting!
Is the blue window the same as the old one? Bcuz I think this one might be a lil bit better. Or maybe its the illusion coming from the surrounding colour😅
I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure this one's better...
Takara Tomy colors are always better than Hasbro's LOL
Ss 86 is cringing in the corner
hahahahaha
Simply not, imo
Arise Optimus prime.
yes!
I would not call this a g1 OP. It’s G1 esque but definitely looks like it’s part of a different universe.
fair point
