"I don't know why you want a whole video of me bitching up a storm about this figure."
That's the whole appeal of this channel for me
I hope I can be more to you one day.
Yeah, it’s funny. Not the main thing I like the most about PE (what I’m gonna start calling him ‘cause I don’t like typing his whole name) but it’s a nice added bonus.
@@PerspectiveEnd😂😂😂😂
the Netflix version not only is better bang for your buck, but also it has better, and prettier paint, (you can actually distinguish the Eyes from the face, the eyes are a different shade of blue). You also get some pretty battlemasters
Netflix version is much better
Pretty pain?
I Sometimes Glared Into that things Eyes Because Of Their color, Man It was pretty.
Mines isn’t let’s see the clear plastic on the battle masters god they are an issue both of mines broke and the Netflix Optimus god it has issues the sides of the truck that are made from clear plastic it cracked and broke and the leg snapped off just randomly no warning just boom snapped clean off it’s NOT EVEN MADE OUT OF CLEAR PLASTIC HOW it’s literally plastic and still fucking broke gosh
I paid WAYYY to much for it
The trailer hitch not being completely halved in the robot mode bothers me so much more than it should.
I know right? This asymmetrical crap is so annoying.
I much prefer how this figure treats its kibble over the sieges, but the siege is definitely the better figure
Yeah, this was my reasons I don't like it, but if the kibble doesn't bother you the way it does me that's fine.
@@PerspectiveEnd I mean I love the seige looks I like him more than the earthrise my earthrise optimus primes head is very very very loose while my seige one is loose but not as loose as earthrise optimus and sorry for this long comment but what version of optimus prime do you think I should get if I just only have the seige optimus prime
I use all that kibble, with my imagination, they server a purpose. The back pack can be a Jetpack, the window screen on the wrists can be moniters or scanners, and the headlights under the wrists could be guns or lights for Optimus while in robot mode
If hasbro would’ve token the siege figure and modify it so the arm kibble is on the backpack, the upper chest could fix a matrix, opening hands, and remove the cyber style truck replace it with an earth style and that would be a good ER Optimus it would keep the good parts of siege but be rebuilt for an Earth style that would be a voyager cause that trailer should be in a weapons pack like the centurion drone pack
Yeah this would have been better as a Heavy retool rather than the shared engineering.
From what I heard, this was *supposed* to be a toy-accurate deco, but they gave up last second for some reason and gave him blue eyes and blue hands, which I find stinky since I personally like yellow eyes, but I can prolly just paint it
I see the flaws, but honestly, I don't mind them as much as you do. The paint on his mouthplate seems to be an isolated issue with yours. Literally looking at my copy and seeing no issue as bad as yours. Also, apparently, you could attach the Siege Prime's axe to the arm of this figure after folding in one of his hands. I guess it was a way to recreate the energon axe Prime had in that G1 episode, but it's a useless feature unless you have the axe. It does leave me wondering why they never gave him an accessory like that. They gave Earthrise Megatron a new weapon (a figure I despise more than anything else I've seen in wfc) but they never gave Prime one for it, when clearly giving the two leaders close combat weapons would have been a good idea for kids who want to play fight with them or for people to make a battle scene diorama.
I'm bothered by the fact it's just a retool. When it comes to Prime it should be a crime to retool. I mean really, we deserve better.
It's fine if you don't put the stock in the flaws like me. I'm just glad you see where I'm coming from.
And yeah it is weird that say in the netflix version he didn't come with one.
@@PerspectiveEnd My little sister kept pushing my earthrise optimus off the shelf and the mouth plate didn't scratch edit: I get your points
I have 4 copies of earth rise optimus 3 out of 4 of them have bad paint on his mouthplate
@@victorystarsaber7807 Damn! QC got you 3 times? Funny and kinda sad. At least you got one with a decent mouth plate, or did you get the Netflix one?
I find that the extra forward motion for the hips really helps dynamic poses. I can't seem to get the Siege into anything super dynamic. Plus, painting the eyes gold really helps the look.
Man I can't help but get the Siege into a dynamic pose, and I mean again their posing is very similar with more points in favor of the Siege.
The only real bummer on the Siege is the forward leg kick, and it is I think enough, where as the ER can't kick back nearly at all.
The only reason I thought people liked it was for the truck. Thanks, TheLazyEyebrow I guess for making me think that I guess. But no, I was given the Siege figure as a birthday present, and I fell in love. I have literally NO reason to replace it for a worse Voyager MP-10
As I understand it that guy is HUGE on altmodes with painted hubcaps.
Thanks to your video, I saved my money and bought the Siege version
Happy to have helped you there, and brought the light of the Siege one into your life.
See? There you go making me smile again and it’s not even 60 seconds in. Kudos to you sir! 👍
What part is making you smile?
Also glad to hear that.
@@PerspectiveEnd your delivery is what makes me smile.
what do you think of the haslab star saber and victory leo?
I wish I had something more interesting to say about it but I'm not particularly interested in it my self.
Guessing before I watch, because I recall some of your reasons: Proportions, the forearm and shoulder touching at a 90 bend with no bicep, butt flap, face paint, useless scrapped transformation bits in the legs, fauxforming grill. Love your work man and I'm sure I'll love this one too!
Man you called basically all of it.
Earthrise prime was my first transformer getting back into collecting after a while so it got me really excited and I thought it was almost perfect but you convinced me to finally get siege prime and I couldn’t be happier. This is a fantastic toy! Thank you, PerspectiveEnd :)
I'm so happy to hear that! For a second there I was worried that I just made you like a figure you enjoyed less, but hearing that I caused you to find the joy of Siege Prime warms my heart.
@@PerspectiveEnd you didn’t ruin anything for me at all! You just helped me to understand what I had been missing out on
I have a question about the proportions, do you feel the same way with the legs on the earthrise sunstreaker? They use the same type of leg articulation.
It does, but this isn't like a cursed type of leg articulation. It can work, but it doesn't here.
@@PerspectiveEnd interesting, I can where you're coming from, as prime really looks like he was based off of that famous g1 painting and not much else, hence why looking up at him has the best proportional look. Thank you for the reply
HASBRO
Hasbro employee: HMM what will get people to buy more transformers
Other Hasbro employee: Opening hands........
HASBRO: YOUR PROMOTED
And sadly it worked
Yep and he keeps doing it every time he wasn't to justify something being over priced.
With the tires on the legs the reason they are at that angle is not because they have a bad grip, it is because the plastic in which they are held is bent, when I paint that part of my Optimus I discovered it and fixed with glue
So is it fixable, or just an optical illusion, or broken?
@@PerspectiveEnd It can be fixed, by removing the wheels and having exposed the part of the plastic that this exit I saw the opportunity to release a little glue and with a stick I put price to keep the piece there until the glue makes everything solid
On your redit I made a post, taking a screenshot of this video, trying to highlight the part I comment on.
Can you possibly do a review on the Titans Return or g1 colour reissue of Chromedome? I absolutely love him, mainly from my memories of somehow watching the English dub of headmasters when I was a kid and he was the main focus of the show. If you don't have one, Popcultcha has a titans return one for a decent price, but shipping may be a little bad since they are based in Australia.
Unfortunatly I do not have him. I wanted to pick up the Reissue, but it just never came to any stores near me.
@@PerspectiveEnd I've had one for 5 years. He's basically the Combiner Wars Dead End mold transformation-wise, except now with the extra step of being a Headmaster. His articulation is alright for a Prime Wars guy. But man oh man, the original release *looked* great. It nailed the IDW aesthetic really well, even with it having the "wrong" alt-mode (he's not the crazy space car he was in MTMTE, but rather a cyberpunk car that kiiiinda looks like his original toy so Takara could just repaint it, give it a new head, and treat it as the Headmasters version of him). He's a fun guy- not great, just good and fun.
Is it possible to disassemble both and use the hips of the siege version on Earthrise?
It is, a subscriber of mine did it a while back, but it can't transform like that.
@@PerspectiveEnd Oof. I thought it was still possible to transform. Didn't think the hips had that much going on there, so I thought it was possible.
After having two versions of this mold for a while, I now agree with this video. We need a SS86 Prime. One that looks like mp44.
I would kill for a new mold to come out of 86.
The siege has better plastic colors, and legs, but I personally prefer the Eartrise’s proportions, aesthetic, transformation, and kibble treatment.
Fix the plastic, colors, legs, and head, on ER and you have the best mainline Optimus figure ever I think. He should’ve come w roller and his axe tho to make the price better.
In my opinion the siege’s kibble and proportions are more off putting compared to the relatively sleek and athletic design choices of the Earthrise. For me, the Earthrise kibble isn’t nearly as bad or noticeable as you say it is; I think they blended it really well with its sillouhette. Siege’s kibble is much more noticeable and damn ugly imo.
The Earthrise is not perfect, but it’s the closest thing we have to perfection in the CHUG line atm (the price is shit tho I agree). I will always prefer the best earth mode optimus to a great cyberpunk one. I’m biased, I know, but you can’t blame me for wanting the best classic Spider-Man before the best PS4 suit Spider-Man.
In a way, Siege feels like extra credit, something I’d get only after getting Earthrise first.
I agree with basically that whole paragraph, but I also think you need to reduce the size of his truck Titties, since his arms can't reach around the chest as those are too big.
Like I said for me the fact that it is over all so clean is what makes it's one piece of kibble stand out so much. It'd have been a bad piece on any figure, but on this it's a pretty gnarly crack in the glass.
I think you are right, this is the closest thing to the Perfect G1 Chug figure we ever got, but at the same time by falling short where it does, it doesn't achieve what it needs to, and it's over all a less interesting figure than most of the others, so by not nailing it's goals, it's a lot more harmed than other Optimi.
It drives me nuts when people say that "I got the ER so why would I ever consider the Siege?" I don't know, maybe because the Siege is really good and fun, and different. Nothing wrong with having both.
Is it just me or does the back of the head look metallic.
I didn't notice that but yeah, I think they painted the back of the head and just the back.
Opinion on the Netflix Nemesis prime? Do You recommend it? Even with the trailer?
The Netflix Nemesis Prime is based on the Siege Mold and not the ER one.
I say go for it, it's a great figure and the Netflix Nemesis Prime comes with a Bunch of accessories making it worth while.
Even if they are accessories directly off a different figure.
:D Thx
I’ve been wondering whether I should get earthrise Optimus, siege Optimus or ss bumblebee movie Optimus. What do you think?
I think the Siege, the Bumblebee Optimus is quite good but the Siege is better.
@@PerspectiveEnd if siege is 33$ and ss is 25$ is it worth the extra 8$?
@@younglinc9950 That is an interesting question and to that I will say both are good and I think you will be happy with both, but I still like the Siege more for that price.
I prefer someone complaining a figure funnily rather than someone praising a figure
Well then I'm glad I can fill that niche, though I don't know how funny I was this video.
As soon as I saw the notification pop-up I was like
OH GOD THE TIME HAS COME
hey perspective do you think rise of the beasts will just focus on normal transformers and the beasts will just be an extra part or will they give us a movie where the beasts are the main character
I think they will probably focus on humans, but I hope they will give as much focus as the studio will allow on the robots.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah thats the normal with live action so far
hey perspective, my birthday is tomorrow, and I was wondering if you could review ss38 (bumblebee movie) Optimus Prime for it. you don't have to, but it would be nice. Thanks!
Man... Why you gotta tempt me like that. I mean I cant do it tomorrow I just don't have to time to do it. And here's the thing Friday and Sunday's videos are both like set in stone, but I'll do it next Wednesday.
I know that's a little late, sorry about that but believe me, it should be a good week all around. I think you will be happy to see what I'm covering on Friday.
And Happy Birthday!
@@PerspectiveEnd oh Wednesday's fine! I didn't even think you'd reply to be honest but thanks man!
I respond to EVERYTHING. Some times it takes time, but I respond to it all. And you are more than welcome.
What was your favorite year in high school and what was least favorite class
Like I said the siege is better but earthrise is the one I got is not better than the siege that my brother has
The Best Buy ER prime is like 30 i think still
None of my years in high school stand out they all blend together, and the class I hated the most was math. I suck at math.
When we were first getting images of this figure, I was crazy excited about him. I had the most impossible time finding him. I saw him once, but I couldn't get him right then. I didn't see him for a while after that. I finally got impatient and paid overprice for him on Amazon. It was just a couple dollars more though so I don't think it was a scalper. But of course, I saw him at Target the very next day. Then he started shelf-warming. He's an okay figure overall, but the proportions and the trailer leave a lot to be desired. So he doesn't exactly live up to my initial hype.
Man I'm sorry you paid too much for him. He's already too expensive. That's just always the way isn't it.
@@PerspectiveEnd I just try to tell myself that everything balances out. I have gotten figures for well under the retail price.
Wonder what you think about studio series 38
I did cover it in my WTB Optimus prime.
Can you do a quality control comparison with kingdom leader Prime? Because on mine the hip is broken since he is my favorite figure (i know, unpopular opinion)
I don't have the kingdom version, and that would be an extra 50 bucks. Sorry.
@@PerspectiveEnd it's okay lol
My copy has a VERY loose gun hinge. The gun is one of my biggest complaints.
Mines not loose, but it's almost impossible to get it straight.
“The thumbnail pops up in my notifications”
Oh ya, this is Gonna be good
Yeah that’s exactly how I felt
And was it?
@@PerspectiveEnd As usual, it was amazing. Like I said previously your videos have everything and more that is required for a good transformers review. But you’re at your best when you talk about figures that you know really well like this one and the siege version.
That and you Spew profanity
@@PerspectiveEnd Well it passed my expectations so well done
Why is the back of the head casted in red and painted blue?
I don't know. It's weird.
Yea, it maybe look's nice in Robot mode, but the Truck is just barely "ok".
Where the only good thing that make's him stand out is the opening matrix chamber. (even if he him self can't open it)
And as for the question of the video..
(Playing devil's advocate here)
So, do you think there is a way to still sell this figure with the "Leader size" prise, but make it worth it, even with out "make him leader size"?
Absolutely, they've done it before to more or less an extent. I mean The kingdom Rodimus without it's trailer is a pretty solid leader value.
Had they made the trailer alot better here, and gave this the siege's hips fixing the leg proportions plus shrinking the chest a little to give the arms more range then it could have justified the price.
I think the whole reason everyone praises it is cause it's the closest we've gotten so far. We're gonna get something better in the future for sure, considering that Siege Prime and Classics Prime had the same thing, with everyone praising it before something better came along
I just think we could already be getting better than this.
Honestly, while I see where you're coming from, I still disagree about the leg proportions. I personally think that the hips being Incorporated into the thighs is a perfect compromise for amazing articulation.
Not only that, but to me, If you're gonna complain about the wheels on the back, you'd also need to complain about Siege Sideswipes blocky back, because it's inconsistently wrong compared to the rest of the body.
I do agree about the trailer. For the cost, it should have been a bit more full featured. More paint, thicker plastic, more detail, etc. Or it shouldn't have come with it at all. But looking at the figure alone, at Optimus Prime, I think he's the best mainline prime we've ever gotten. Siege has some horrible arm kibble, and the giant slab on the back is inexcusable. I'm not saying the ER is perfect, but I still far prefer it compared to the Siege figure.
I did complain about Siege Sideswipes baggy sides, and by extension his back.
It also should have come with a roller.
Personally for me the back Kibble on the Siege is no bother, and if I were to remove some it would have to be the wrist stuff.
Irrelevant question: Have you heard of Cang Toys Predaking? I kinda feel like they're rivalring Mmc Assaultus. But not all the member are released, so we'll see. I'd love to take a look at one of their products.
I don't see that as being accurate. It might be good when it's finally all out, but I see three major issues that probably won't let it truly rival the MMC.
For starters apparently the transformations are painfully complex despite doing very little, plus there is partsforming for the hands and feet.
Also the Aesthetic is very off the normal look of the characters so it will clash a bit with a normal no Japan Focused collection.
And lastly they might not be all out because they can't get the tolerances right and it might not work at this stage.
I would play doom ii, and I would constantly get stuck on levels because I can’t find parts of the map to complete the level.
When you say Doom 2 do you mean Doom 2 or Doom Eternal?
We still haven’t gotten a definitive Optimus prime for G1.
Siege is great, but is Cybertronian, and misses a lot of features like matrix, trailer, and articulated hands. Earthrise is close, but a bit shitty
I'd tend to agree with you there.
The Siege one still looks passable as a stylized Earth Truck rather than Cybertronian which already has a distinct look as seen in IDW, War For Cybertron, Animated, Fall of Cybertron and the upcoming TF One.
7:22 i think it depends on how you put the matrix in there. If the little notched part is on top, its really tight, whereas if it’s on bottom (how i usually do it) its much looser
I think it might just be a QC thing, like how much paint it has in there letting it be a little freer... Huh Freer is a word.
Really enjoyed this one, more than other reviews you’ve made.
Really, is there any reason you can think of as to why?
I just thought it was funnier than some other ones.
This is the second video of yours I've watched and I love your rants ALREADY! LOL that trailer Bit had me laughing for REAL. I don't collect anything outside of masterpiece transformers, but I still like to watch a good critique.
Thank you very much! I'm happy to hear that I'm able to bring the comedy, and I'm glad that even if a lot of my stuff isn't on MPs I can still entertain you in the other ones.
I agree that this isn't the "bee's knees" , as you say. I had to get aftermarket upgrades for him, which should have come with him for the money. My concern was the materials used to make him. A tab broke way too easily off the door. I had to supply all the goodies for the trailer ( Roller, missiles) as well as a proper gun and a battle axe. If it came with all of the above, it would have been worth the $80 Canadian I paid for it. PS, the Siege crotch breakage issue was what turned me away from that figure, as well as the canopy flap.
Yeah it's kind of criminal just how little does actually comes with to justify the leader price.
And no crummy it feels in comparison with its directly preceding counterpart, they definitely is spent less money on this.
It may have flaws but I prefer it over the siege version not to mention I have the Netflix version which has better colors along with the silver I added
The Netflix is absolutely the better version. It fixes most of the paint and color issues, and at a lower price, and it's fine which ever you prefer. You aren't wrong for what you like.
sadly bought two cause the side window broke and the second one leg piece that has flaps on his kneecaps broke really poor qc from my end and it bs
Another fact: you can do a full 360 waist rotation if you remove the back bumper and his leg can go back further if you remove it
This is true, but you shouldn't have to partsform a figure to get normal range out of joints.
WOW I had no idea he was that disappointing compared to Siege Prime… what is it with Hasbro/Takara and botching attempts at doing Earth modes for characters who they nailed so well during Siege or past lines?
Also, quick question: what determines your perspective on a character- the first piece of media you see them in, or the first toy you get of them?
I think it might be because ER was a quick cash grab, they knew it would sell so they rushed it out the door.
For me it's all about the media. That's what makes me want a figure. It's the attachment to the character. If the figure is good I'm sure I'll like it even if I don't know the character but it's missing that special sauce.
@@PerspectiveEnd Ah. You said in one of your past videos that IDW ruined Prowl for you, yet it also made you like Star Saber and Deathsaurus, so I got the idea that the supporting media helped shape how you felt about certain characters. Just wanted to see if that was true, sir.
i think earthrise is better then siege due to the fact earthrise comes with a trailer and matrix of leadership.i mean when was the last time you saw an matrix of leader ship on Optimus an master piece figure, but this figure does that for way cheaper, maybe not just way cheaper, but also better,but maybe.
Are you... Are you joking? Every MP or 3P Optimus I've ever gotten had a matrix. And the Vast Majority of Chug ones do now too.
It's honestly annoying to get another one at this point. I don't want any more ever again.
Dear PerspectiveEnd, i sent you pictures of siege Soundwave on your shoutout e-mail, but you havent responded. Should in send them to you on a diffirent e mail?
No. I just rarely check my emails, so I have them, and yep that's pretty cool.
@@PerspectiveEnd thank you, i appreaciate it, i just thought that the e-mail was broken and that you just didnt get them
Do you still have this figure?
I mean I just had it in my Legacy Bulkhead review so yeah.
I really like my earthrise prime, but I do feel the figure would be greatly improved by using the lower legs of the siege figure. The resulting prime would be really cool.
Also, I’ve discovered more figures that are compatible with the trailer than just prime and huffer. It turns out, the sideswipe mold is the perfect size to carry the trailer, and runamuck/runabout work pretty good as well.
There was someone on my reddit who swapped the legs and it looked great.
Interesting that it fits on sideswipe, The Trailer also works with the Siege which is nice.
@@PerspectiveEnd the trailer also works with SS38 Bumblebee Prime, which is probably the best use of the trailer
The video we've all waited for
I don't know why, but I hope it satisfies.
Awesome video. You format your argument very well. I definitely agree the siege one feels like a more quality figure and looks better. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you very much, I'm glad I was able to not just sound like a whiny jerk.
@@PerspectiveEnd I definitely don’t think you do. You explicitly state at the beginning exactly what this video is, and that these are your own personal gripes with the figures. You aren’t trying to force anyone to change their mind and you explicitly say that if someone likes the figure then good for them. I’m really not sure how anyone can say that you just bitch and moan because it’s just your opinion and you try to approach it logically and consistently. That’s why I love you channel honestly
If I were to ever get a version of this mold, I'd likely get the one that's a corpse.
That way it can look bad because it's dead.
Finally someone said something about it
I take it you appreciated my message here.
Unrelated but your channel is doing so well! Good job! The views are always consistent lol
I know right! I have such a crazy loyal fanbase! You guys are the best.
Nothing related to the video but, I don’t know mp style combiner I need to get since they all have their pluses. Hear me out I know you would recommend mmc bruticus but he is to small for my taste, so these are me contenders: DX9 menasor, Toyworld constructor (normal ver), Fanstoys menasor, Zeta bruticus . Please recommend one of these !
I really really do recommend the MMC. The Toyworld has much more limited posing in the shoulders than you might expect.
There are MANY problems with the Fanstoys. 1 it's not all released yet, 2 it's very expensive, and 3 you won't be able to find them. It's fanstoys, everyone is sold out.
I don't hear Great things about the DX9, like parts kind of tend to fall off that thing as far as I know, though I'd recommend you look up reviews on that.
I guess by elimination that, that leaves the Zeta, but I don't recommend that for the robots being horribly inaccurate all except for the onslaught, and the level of partsforming being unconcionable.
I think you will find the size is not as big an issue as you worry it will be, I emphatically recommend the MMC, the rest are with Extreme trepidation.
I hope that helped. Probably not though.
It did in a way but not that much since I knew mmc assult is great.
@@krimix4662 I mean I did give you an opinion on each individual set.
True
The main problem is how small the torso and arms are, the legs were meant to composite for the size but it makes it look awkward.....
Yeah the torso be tiny on it.
The leg mechanics on the Siege Optimus do look fun, I definitely wish they'd done something more with the legs on ER/Kingdom model. I may try chasing a Siege down the line, but for now my personal gripes about the face paint, the arm dimensions and the fact that I stress marked his chest shelf on the top right side transforming him the first time aren't deal breakers for him being my main rep for the character. Then again my standards on a lot of these figures are still at a skewed average by the originals, as for all but my core group of beloved characters, most are still the first iteration of the character I've had in hand in thirty years or more.
My in-hand Optimus experience has been 84, the Powermaster, and this. So I'm far from seasoned experience wise on what's out there.
I definitely get the gripes you're talking about here, though.
And that is as valid a reason to like it as any.
Every figure you like or dislike you can make a video you can fan boy rant or meh about any figure and we will love to watch it.
So what you are saying is that I can make EVERY video a rant and you guys will love it.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yes
I like this figure anyway and it will be my definitive Optimus until they bring out a better cartoon-based Earthmode one in the main line, but I do agree that the proportions are off with is legs being entirely too long compared to the rest of him.
I'm glad that you can still enjoy him.
The thing i am conflicted the most about are the legs. not the fact they don't transform, but their lenght.
because, given that, siege starscream should suffer from the same problem. And, when i focus on it, i somewhat see it onhim, how his torso is just tiny. But when i don't pay attention, it just blends in how it should.
how about you?
I find that Siege Starscream wears it better than Optimus.
Finally , the earthrise prime review.
I hope it was everything you were waiting for.
Honestly
I had my friend custom paint it
And it looks alot better
And the paint feels amazing
So i like it alot more right now
The fact that you needed to have it fixed is kind of telling though isn't it?
@@PerspectiveEnd yea
1:26 Dear god I can’t unsee that now, Harry high pants lookin’ ass.
I'm sorry to corrupt your mind.
9:44 This. It looks exactly like G1 (minus pants going half way up the stomachimus prime) so people (geewunners) claim its amazing without any flaws.
Fun fact
ER primes face is blue because he was going to have yellow eyes, like the product images show (also grey hands)
Yeah because they wanted it to look like the original toy which was a horrible idea because now the face just looks ugly and they gave up on the yellow eyes and just made them blue which doesn’t pop out in the face and at this point I would have preferred if they just use the siege head with no changes
@@JayD05 it wasnt a horrible idea
The horrible idea is swapping the eyes blue, which they did
@@naapurihei True it wasn’t a horrible idea but it was definitely not a good one plus if they gonna give up and make the eyes blue then they should take a little bit more effort and make the face grey
And they didn't do it, and they changed nothing after the change because they put no thought into this.
I actually like him esp after I painted the parts hasbro should of done & stickers from Toyhax
The fact that you had fix a 50 dollar figure that was over charging by 20 is kind of telling isn't it?
I just wish it was good enough in the first place.
@@PerspectiveEnd I hear ya but most of the figures i have I need to add stuff to or paint to make look good lol that’s why 3rd party’s are killing it right now & Toyhax does both toy look & toon look all the figures I have I have added 3rd party or Toyhax too anyway! But atleast WFC has great base! I wish hasbro would just make a great fig but if they did why would we ever buy another OP know what I mean lol
The big gap only makes sense if Prime has no engine, transmission, or drivetrain. That's definitely the biggest flaw in my eyes.
Also, I tried to email you on the shout out email address but IDK if you've seen it. Is there a better way to send you an email? I just received my copy of Deformation Space 01, their version of Starscream...I was wondering if you would like to see amd/or review it?
I did get your email, and thank you for the offer, but mine should hopefully be arriving today.
@@PerspectiveEnd I really hope you like it as much as I do. It feels amazing in hand. I have one or two nitpicks with bot mode but I love it. I'll never display it in jet mode so the "questionable" back section really doesn't bug me. Price was amazing and the smell after opening it took me back to being 10 years old
How was the netflix 30? it was 40
Was it 40? I remember it being 30?
@@PerspectiveEnd Huh, all the netflix voyagers are 40
Honestly, I do truly love the Earthrise Prime, as it stands he’s the best mainline Earth Optimus we have, but I can’t deny that many of the points you brought up are either things I agreed with before watching, or agreed with once they were brought to my attention.
The legs being a complete mess, and the arms not being able to reach around his chest were huge issues in my eyes, but even so I still feel he’s the best we currently have despite his flaws. Though with that said, I genuinely do hope that we have one more Prime in the works to replace him. Studio Series 86 has already set a precedent with a retooled Arcee and brand new Ironhide figure, but I believe it’s already been leaked a new Magnus is coming, so an SS86 Prime might be in our future to truly give us the perfect Earth mode Optimus we need. Until then, I’ll keep modifying my Earthrise Prime with improvements as needed.
I'd still argue the Siege was better but I do get that that thing looks less accurate so I understand why people would prefer this.
And I'm stoked for a potential 86 Prime so long as it's not just ANOTHER ER rerelease.
The only problem I have is that his proportions horrible. Even if he has opening hands they are more useless than a charred car battery because he has stubby arms. Personally my opinion on this somewhat like guilmo deltoros thoughts on striker eureka. Basically it’s arrogant. It’s trying to be perfect and (unlike striker eureka) fails at it. With horrible proportions and it’s trying to be perfect with everything. I personally prefer the ss 38 bumblebee movie prime. It feels like Optimus. It’s big and isn’t trying to be perfect.
@Shawn O'Toole I LOVE Pacific Rim dude...
That is a deep cut reference.
speaking of optimus i always wondered on how you feel about SS32/SS44
I don't like the movie design for Optimus prime so I never picked that one up.
Perspective
It’s not the chest that’s blocking the arms it’s the arms themselves if you put siege and earthrise side by side you see that his chest is the same size on both the bicep-elbow joint is shorter on the earthrise
I suppose it would be a combination of the two then. If the chest stuck out less it wouldn't be as much of a problem that the arms are too short.
Yup, I knew it. I don't know if I like the Siege version more than this or if I like this more. I like them both. Anyway, great review.
I'm glad to hear you enjoy both of them.
Awesome video as always, after some time you made me see how flawed this figure is, anyway I got my own magic square light of freedom and oh boy everything you said about it is true, it's a work of art
I'm sorry if I robbed you of some enjoyment of this thing, but am STOKED to hear that I motivated you to pick up the Magic Square, and I'm so happy to hear that I did not lead you astray.
@@PerspectiveEnd you didn't rob me from anything, I always thought that there was something wrong with it but I didn't know what exactly it was
@@PerspectiveEnd update on the magic square: good lord it's getting better and better the more I play with it, why can't all masterpiece style transformers have such enjoyable transformations
Y'know, I got excited when I got him but later in the year as Im playing with him, transforming untill the chest wouldn't tab and one of my legs became looks, the head on ER Prime was loose, couldn't even look up
Sorry to hear it wore out for you so badly.
I just realised that some of the flaws on this like the eyes and rectangular shoulders could be because hasbro was originally making a toy accurate prime instead of a cartoon accurate one as pre production renders had yellow eyes like the toy and the toy had rectangle shoulders
I think you are right about that, I'm pretty sure toy accurate was what they were going for. I remember early test shots of him had specifically grey hands.
YES
This hate is my FUEL
Glad you enjoyed it.
It’s Ben building up to this we’ve seen hints of its power now prepare for the boss fight
It's the final phase of the boss fight
Please the Final boss laughs at this paltry minion. ERcee hides behind the curtain.
Unpopular opinion but I don’t mind nose cones on the back of seekers
Remember?
I'm really interested in getting this thing just to know what you're talking about.
Of course, and I don't think it will be that momentous of an experience. It'd probably be pretty anticlimactic honestly.
Go off sis
What?
Having dedicated reviews is a good thing. It allows people new to your channel to be able to find your thoughts all in one spot.
I totally get where you're coming from. This is the curse of the Transformer collector. Sometimes it's not a big flaw, but the flaws sticks out to you more than anyone else. You can see why other people like it, but you just can't get over those flaws even if you know it's minor. I felt the same way on certain figures.
Also, having the Siege and Earthrise figure side by side would probably save you the trouble of doing that illustration. But the effort is appreciated. The proportions of the Earthrise figure looks more like the Toyworld Freedom Leader.
Yeah, that does make sense so they don't have to watch the whole channel to understand me.
And I'm glad you do, I just wanted people to finally understand what I mean when I say these things Not agree with me.
Perspective, I've wanted to know if you liked transformers prime and if you wanted to review figures from that series
I plan on reviewing TF Prime after 10K subs, but I'm not too interested in reviewing the figures, no matter how I feel about the show in general, the designs I found to be uninspiring.
It is weird how the matrix is hard to remove for some copies. My copy, I just have to tap his back a few times kinda like he burps it out. But I got the generations selects shattered glass version and legit have to untransform his torso and poke a tool through the hole behind the matrix chamber to get it out
That's an interesting idea, maybe I should drill a hole my self.
@@PerspectiveEnd well there’s a hole already there behind the matrix, I just mean it’s easier to push it out like that than pulling it out
I fell like this could go very wrong
As in
The people who cant take criticism will just come flodding
Also
Can you review one of your favorite figures,that you havent reviewed before?
I mean I did the Siege Prime last time, and believe me I have many great figures I can cover in time.
Also I haven't really gotten the hate you were worried about.
Oh alr
All of my worries have disappeared
I like him.
Overpriced: yes
Bad proportions: yes
Better than the siege: no
But he’s still sort of cool and is my favourite chug earth mode prime.
yeah that’s how I feel as well and honestly my biggest problem with this figure just comes with the trailer
And that's perfectly fine. You don't have to justify that you like it, you just do. I'm just saying why I personally dont.
The kibble is MEANT to be there, it's Studio OX. You may despise Studio OX, but it's meant to look like that
I don't see that as being the reason. I think it wound up their and they were like "Yeah no this was like... Totally an intentional reference... Totally."
@@PerspectiveEnd Thats the actual design tho
Overpriced Voyager😶😶
Hasbro : 🤑
Yep.
Earthrise Prime is Ryan Reynolds with a broken nose 🤣🤣🤣🤣 5:20
I'm glad you found it funny.
I just realized how fast your channel is growing. It’s crazy man
Really? I mean I hit 4K in one year and talk about how proud I am of this community fairly frequently.
that’s what I was thinking about the legs, when I bought this figure, I was thinking, “hey, this legs look long as hell, also, what’s with the grey stuff?” I also had a problem with the back wheels on his leg, it was lose, what’s worse, my primes head is lose (not sure if people also had this problem too, but the loose head is annoying!)
I quite recenlty got this figure, the Kingdom version because I just got new job and decided to treat myself and realized that in years of collecting transformers I don't have any G1 style Optimus Prime, or Megatron. So I got Earthrise Megatron and Kingdom Prime. Overall I like the figure, the only thing that bothers me a little are the proportions.
I'm glad to hear that you like it. I hope the Kingdom version had better QC than my ER version.
When I first got this I thought it was great. But after a couple months the some of the paint on the hands and head came off. And then I got the siege and realised how bad this figure was.
People were calling me crazy for preferring the Siege for a long time, now sentiment seems to be swaying around to my point of view.
I want to get both the siege and earthrise versions-- I LOVE the siege version for it's chunky aesthetic and shorter legs making him look like a buff warrior, but the earthrise's long legs and thinner proportions make him look like the lean veteran leader of a resistance. Also as someone who has really long legs earthrise prime is some good body representation!
That's an interesting way to reconcile the differences between the two figures.
I like ER optimus but the one of the tabs locking his leg together broke but it doesn't affect his alt mode that much
I'm glad to hear that it doesn't ruin the figure.
i like how i begged my mom for years for this toy since its the closest thing i can have to mp44, and after getting it
my boy just straight out did a disstrack on the toy. funny yet sad ngl
I'm sorry about that, I hope I didn't taint anything about it for you. This wasn't a video on why you shouldn't like it, just why I don't. I just wanted people to stop thinking I'm weird for not liking this thing.
