![5 SIMPLE Mods You Should Do To Your LEGO Optimus Prime Transformers Set [10302] [4K]](/img/tr.png)
Thanks everyone who pointed out that the “missing” piece is actually just on the hand in a different spot 😂my bad!
I wanna buy the lego set big time
you had one job
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎😡👎👎😡👎😡👎👎👎👎👎👎lego
Haha lol
You also forgot to push down the chest so it locks in
Lego traditionally doesn't put knees into their mechs, it's a hige build integrity issue as the knees will buckle from the weight and break a lego piece which is a no-no.
That’s fair enough - thanks man for clearing that up. Still would’ve been nice to have tho
They could have given him individual fingers though
They have a heavy duty ratchet piece, or could have installed a worm gear lock. Both would have massively altered the look of the legs due to their size and relative complexity.
I’d say within a week of it coming out someone will come up with some sort of easy modification creating knee joints.
@@qxillanote9952 From what I've seen, the only thing holding them together is a 1x3 plate, so you should just be able to remove that and the fingers would be able to move separately.
I can't imagine all the work the designers put in for it to not only transform but also be durable enough not to break apart in the process. It's by no means a complicated transformation but it still blows my mind. Lego has very strict standards for official sets yet they still took up the challenge.
I absolutely agree! The engineering that went into this must’ve been mental! Overall a very good product!
Hey, the head designer who worked on this used to work for Hasbro.
@@aualga is that so?
@@toonistiny Yeah, according to Tiago, another guy who reviewed the set, and even worked for Lego!
@@samurexatlas7373 The designer's name is Joe Kyde. He did indeed work for Hasbro and in the Transformers brand where he helped design a few OP figs for various lines as well as numerous repaints/retools of other figs. He posts regularly on Twitter, where he talks about his experience in both the Hasbro and now LEGO worlds. Cool guy.
There are no words to describe how happy I am, this is the Optimus I dreamed about when I was 4 years old
Ikr?! And it turned out great! :)
I want them to make a G1 devastater that it can be uncombined and each constructicon can transform on its own
@@Hannahneila that will would be amazing
@@killer_car_dude1702 it would be amazing, but quite unrealistic
@@MeisterSchwabbo yeah I know I was just saying that it would be amazing if they were to 😁
I feel that the lack of a knee joint was probably a decision made based upon LEGO's pretty strict guidelines on engineering. While neither of us know how strict they are, I think it's fair to say that it was most likely a result of it, similarly to the Voltron set where, just like the Optimus set, lacked knee joints as well
Lego is famous for not including knee joints in their mech/robot builds, sad to see it carried over to this set but I can see why0
I have been waiting for this for such a long time
imo
I kinda wish Optimus was given the Bionicle treatment but oh well.
I think the knee joint would have had to of been too unstable for their standards. You can bet fan designers will come up with something, interestingly there is a ball join the socket with a curved brick going back seemingly for clearance you don't need. So they may have designed it with fan mods in mind this time around
That Toy Guy gave him knees and he became a wobbly mess
I've always wanted a Lego Optimus prime. I even have some of the Kre-o ones just to satisfy my hunger for one. I'm so glad Lego is finally doing this. This is my most anticipated set of all time.
Ikr?! This thing is amazing and a dream come true to so many out there!
I just dug out the side panels from the Kre-o Optimus trailer. Might have to custom myself a trailer for the Lego set.
This is a childhood dream come true. I remember like it was yesterday when i used to search on the internet for MOCs, or fanarts of LEGO Transformers and the closest thing was the KRE-O sets; but here we are and it finally happened.
Same here! Lego obtaining the Transformers license is a dream come true! Can only hope they expand their character line up!
@@PrimeVsPrime A LEGO Megatron would be awesome and the perfect display piece to go along with Optimus.
@@PrimeVsPrime I pray they make Soundwave
Lego on a Transformers channel 🤯 What a time to be alive!
Haha ikr?! Thanks for watching!
@@PrimeVsPrime always a pleasure, especially as a long time Transformers AND Lego fan! 🥰
I feel like theyre going to eventually make more of these transformer sets, the reason I feel this way is because they include specs on the plaque and they included sideswipes jet pack. So these couple things give me hop that we will get more of these sets at some point
I really hope so! I would love a Bumblebee or Megatron!
@@PrimeVsPrime Lego won't do war related sets, so I don't see them doing Megatron transforming into a gun or tank. Maybe Beast Wars Megatron.
I'd assume most likely Decepticon would be Soundwave.
They do a lot if Star Wars sets so there is a chance
The smooth panels are known as Tiles!
1 stud high bricks are plates, and bricks are named after their length and width, + specialized names, Tiles, Plates, Bricks, Clips, or plate/brick with clip!
I'm really excited to see this done, and really hope it means more Lego and Hasbro/TF cross promotion! Certainly good for both companies, I'm sure!
Oh wow haha thanks for the info! Will definitely come in handy if (hopefully) we can get more sets
@@PrimeVsPrime Yeah, I follow both sides so I know a bit about Lego!
Technic is those rods and pegs, or rather known as Axels and Pins!
Then you have CCBS, like Hero Factory, it's a balljoint based system with armor shells and even customization with clips and pins, skinny rods that are like Axels, but circles instead of pluses!
My literal 2 favourite things. I love Lego so much and transformers and now they're put together 😃
Haha ikr!! Perfect combo!
Yes
I think the knee joint criticism is valid, and I too am kinda sad abt it, but generally most lego sets such as Ninjago mechs have struggled with knee joints. It was very rare for them to ever do them, it must have to do with the weight, but it is unfortunate they still can’t do it. Hopefully for future transformers the knees will bend
Yeah definitely a shame but I can see why they decided against it. Oh well, I guess I can mod it
It’s weird cause it wasn’t allways like this lego mecha and buildable figures even larger ones used to have knees they even have and still produce special friction joint pieces to help with weight issues .
frankly it used to be standard since 2003 with the bionicle rahkshi really bothers me that they’ve just stopped using proper joints all together
@@theplagueddoctor3686 it’s because knees get surprisingly weak the larger the set gets. Knees are an easy place to buckle and fold.
@@matoro4140 well like I said they had a piece made specifically for that issue
This is my favorite Optimus prime, even compared to something like mp44 or even mp10. The way it transforms has it using no faux parts. It’s proportions are amazing and I love how they did the ab/stomach part.
Just wanted to let you know, I think the 1x3 dark blue plate you're missing on the hand was actually applied between the finger slope pieces and the modified plates that clip them on to the hand so you weren't missing a piece
No need to think, its true
Oh WOW thank you lol! I must’ve done that when I was half asleep lool! I literally didn’t even notice haha
From an avid Lego collector, I can say that normally Lego doesn’t give knee joints to retain stability, HOWEVER of all the mech/large robot sets they’ve released there’s only one that I can recall that had working knees so it is somewhat interesting that he doesn’t have knees. But considering I love Lego and am a huge Optimus fan I will definitely be adding this to my small prime army haha
That being Zane's Titan Mech. Owning it myself, it's comprised of four different ball joints, two of which lead onto a general lever muscle, all so knees can bend. Undoubtedly impressive, but I doubt it could have been replicated here and still maintained the stability Lego would want.
Also, it only manages a 45 degree bend.
@@shadowclonier3062 the new Samurai X mech also has knees, but in not entirely sure how the engineering of them work yet
The Lego Avengers infinity saga ironman mark 34 has working knees
@@shadowclonier3062 that’s what I was thinking, they would’ve had to have made a much more sophisticated design. I own the set as well and was pleasantly suprimes and impressed
@@redlion-paladin4609 this is true but it is much much smaller and simpler in construction compared to this prime and the Zane’s titan mech that I was referring to. Both being significantly heavier
The problem is that, while Lego have made larger more ambitious sets, most mechs like that don't have knees either. It's because individual lego joints can only support so much weight without being very carefully balanced. Even the heaviest-duty hinge-movement joints (the ones used for knees on things like the AT-AT sets) still are at risk of stability issues, and require a large area dedicated to fitting them into the built due to having a long bar piece for connecting them.
Now, it still would be possible, and I guarantee we will be seeing videos on how to rebuild the knees to have a joint, but with Lego's stability standards I can understand why they weren't designed. They don't want him suddenly doing a Michael Jackson back lean and falling over which would be an even bigger problem for this than a normal transformer since, you know , it's Lego. It would break and then you might lose pieces.
> suddenly doing a Michael Jackson back lean
Okay, that is actually pretty funny lol
So keep an Eye on Chubbybots’ channel.
It’s cool to see two of my favorite hobbies collide! This is a definite buy for me!
Ikr?! Awesome collab!
This existing puts a smile on my face
Glad to see PriveVsPrime cover this! I'm happy to tell you you're not missing a piece on the left hand, just take the dark blue 1x3 plate from within the knuckle area and apply to the fingertips and you're all set! I kept staring at it like "it's right there!" lol. Lego Masters really did a number on me and trained me well! The absence of the knees should be a simple fix, I'll happy cover on my channel once I get my hands on the set myself. This model certainly changes the game for collectors and Lego Transformer designers like myself. It will be fun to playfully compete with their engineering. I hope to see more reviews on this channel if Lego decides to continue this exciting line! Cheers!
Thank you so much for checking it out! Looking forward to seeing what you think of this. & yesss haha my bad! It was staring me in the face!
This is just genius. As a huge fan of both, I am ABSOLUTELY getting this
Ikr?! The perfect collaboration!
Optimus Prime: "Optimus Prime, transform!"
Hasbro: I've created the most accurate G1 Optimus Prime with MP44
Lego: hold my butter bisuits
Haha literally lol!
This things looks so damn good holy crap! Younger me would be freaking out if he saw this thing! Can’t wait to get my hands on it. Phenomenal review as always Prime Vs. Prime!
Thank you so much! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts :)
@@PrimeVsPrime Of course man! I’m looking forward to just seeing this thing in person come June 1st! :D
It's amazing that this is the first Transformers in Lego.
Indeed!

Fun Fact: Joe Kyde, a former Transformer Designer who Designed a lot of Figures including some of the Redecoes of figures in the Unicron Trilogy and some figures from the WFC video Games and Thrilling 30s, designed the Lego Optimus Prime because he started working for Lego after leaving Hasbro. I bet Hasbro, when learning Joe Kyde was designing the Lego Optimus Prime, knew that it was safe to trust him.
I think a Lego soundwave would work so well I hope we get more lego transformers
Me too!
Man i cant wait to get this!
Theres no way lego left out a piece. You actually have it. It looks like you put it in the wrong spot on the hand that is "missing one". Thanks for the stellar review!
Haha yes you’re right! Completely missed it :’) thank you!
My wife purchased this Optimus Prime this past Sunday for me as a Father's Day gift while we were hanging out in San Francisco. It's a great looking Lego set. I'm more than happy to have him join my Transformers collection. 🙂
Lego Transformed has been a personal passion for a while. I use them to make some prototype models of certain creations...
Though this is better than what I make, most what I make are Deluxe, at best Voyager class...
Oh wow that’s awesome! I bet they were cool!
@@PrimeVsPrime Some are, some... Less. I tend to use Lego Digital Designer on them, models I got IRL... Are kinda haphazard in terms of coloring. Aside Beast Wars Rampage-style dinosaur made out of bionicle parts...
Lego: doesn’t give Optimus Prime knees
Lego modders: this looks like a job for me.
Imagine if Lego were to go all in and give us a Transformers CMF line !
For a second, I thought the blaster wasn't even made of lego, that's how good it is!
Finally, LEGO was making G1 Classic Optimus Prime for this Year 2022... a Great Autobots in the World
Now it's time to Transform and Roll Outs!
There is a Lego theme called Technic which tend to be more mechanical sets with working parts, and this set has very little of these parts so it’s amazing how they managed to get it all to work
Still I can't belive LEGO actually make Optimus.
Ikr?! What a time to be alive!
Just got this for my 45th birthday, can't wait to play!
the transformation is amazing for being lego and not falling apart. and optimus looks AMAZING being lego. defentaly picking this up
The blue section of truck mode… is interestingly about the best, flattest rear chassis of any Optimus transformer! Lol 😂
Go, LEGO!
Finally you got the new lego optimus prime figure, and it's cool that it transforms
Ikr!! Lego supreme!
It’s honestly amazing that the Lego optimus prime is less of a brick than the original toy. ;)
LEGO could not use knees due to the height and stability. This is noticeable in the Ninjago mechs with the smaller ones having knees but the tall ones do not.
Oh I see, better safe than sorry I guess
No way! I gotta cop that bruh ❗❗
It's so interesting seeing this set being reviewed by both Lego and Transformers review channels
It really is. I'm subscribed to quite a few review channels for both myself and seeing some of my favourite content creators from two of my biggest interests all coming together to review this guy is very heartwarming haha
I’m definitely gonna get this whenever I can
I love how Lego achieved making a transformable Optimus Prime that doesn’t break apart like some of Hasbros mainline releases.
Anyways, great job on this review!
Yes! THIS is the review we needed! ❤️😩
Thanks so much for checking it out 🙏🏻
@@PrimeVsPrime You're welcome! I have a Transformers fan for as long as I can remember and your channel is a JOY to watch! 🙌🏻
Totally Chic. The G1 accuracy and simplicity of transformation with the rocket pack from Sideswipe and inclusion of the Energon Axe, Matrix of Leadership to boot is outstanding!
Oh, yeah. I'm definitely getting that. No questions asked.
It’s awesome! I hope you enjoy it :)
once i saw that tiny hole in the blaster when you stored it on the truck i knew we will be getting a trailer down the line
Adding me joints to the figure would be super easy and you should probably do a video on how to do it and what parts should be used. For the joint itself you could probably use the same type of connection that was used on the elbows or one of Legos buildable figure ball joints
Yes! I actually might just do that! :)
@@PrimeVsPrime certain you could also use some curved plates like the ones used on the back of the legs except use blue ones on either side of a leg just below the knee so that the leg can cleanly clear the bend when bending the knee while still looking clean
It would definitely be awesome to get some consistent Lego transformers releases, I’m praying that Optimus does well, it could spark a HUGE paycheck for lego, a huge engineering headache, but the paycheck is worth it
Wow, amazing 🤩! First time ever LEGO did have a Transformers license product 😃! Unlike Kre-o, LEGO Transformers like this one do not need much take it off the piece to create vehicle mode 🚛 or robot mode 🤖, LEGO Transformers just transformed like regular Transformers did 😊. That's what i wanted for so long time 🙂. This LEGO Optimus Prime, the first LEGO Transformers ever is definitely 💯 percent fantastic 😊! I wish, LEGO can create more Transformers character and LEGO Transformers playset at future 😃. Congratulations, LEGO 👏🎉. Thank you for reviewing this awesome looking LEGO Optimus Prime, PrimevsPrime 😊.
Agreed! Thanks for watching
There’s a hint of irony that the lego optimus prime cleans up better then even some of the modern generations offerings. I’m eager to pick this guy up and mod the legs for that sweet sweet possibility. Great review as alway primevprime
Ikr?! Even better than MP44! & thanks so much! :)
I'll share you some Lego terms you must know: Regular pieces are called just bricks, those very thin pieces are plates, what you called "smooth panels", are called tiles.
9:22 I think you put two 1x3 dark blue plates together on the left hand (compared to the right hand）
I’ll take a look, thanks man!
@@PrimeVsPrime I just noticed it too! Accidentally placed an extra brick within the palm of the hand instead of the tip of the fingers 👍🏼
Other than the knees, LEGO have really done good on this model I plan to get this model as soon as released.
I agree! It’s a very nicely constructed set
lego transformers game would be so awesome and this lego prime is great
the "nice little touches" are literally essential details
But created out of Lego - very impressive
@@PrimeVsPrime you can do far better with lego though, this particular set is not impressive in the world of lego transformers
I love the fact Lego and Transformers have joined forces and i'm excited about this toy and the future collaborations. Maybe a playstation game and a lego Soundwave in the pipeline. I think it's overpriced though. £70 would have been what i expected but £160 is the RRP of a Transformers Titan. And there's no trailer included either for that price. It looks and transforms beautifully but i can't justify the price for the cab alone.
Great video! I need this in my collection. He looks awesome👍. Can't wait to see if Lego makes a Megatron
Thanks so much! I’d love a Megatron!
OH MY GOD ITS SO GOD DAMN COOL!!!
Bro, seeing an actual Lego set of Optimus prime, I love it
My childhood dream come true. I must buy this
I thought I would never see the day that he will Review a lego
A dream come true
Absolutely! Hopefully a Megatron next!
Looks awesome
Nice review. People amazed at the transformation - it’s literally the G1 transformation 😂 great job Lego and good decision to go with that simplistic transformation and design. It looks amazing.
If you told my younger self that in the future there would be actual Transformers and Star Wars Lego I would quite possibly explode with joy! Awesome review Prime, I’m definitely getting this!
Thanks so much! & agreed! I used to love Lego so much when I was younger and to think they now make transformers is just amazing
I cant wait to get this sick set! this made me very exited for this and when I saw it I was impressed with how it looks and the weapons the jet pack the energon the matrix of leadership and that little thing that shows primes speed strength etc (idk what it is called ) they are all mindblowing but the axe could be better but not bad but the optimus figure is just insanely amazing! I love that it dosent need any partsforming (except for that one piece for accuracy) this is a figure I will get as soon as I can (but I might get legacy bulkhead first or ss jolt my parents might get the bulkhead I would have gotten it there if I could but I am broke as hell so that is a no lol I wasent expecting to see bulkhead tho in Canada yet until next year I thougth I hope I can find more legacy figures as those have been hard for me to find recently lol)
Wish they’d included a Spike minifigure. All the other accessories are spot on
Legos 🔥 great review
Thanks so much!
This is beautiful. I will definitely wait for other sets, especially SoundWave and Star scream.
Can’t wait for this. Please be a separate trailer kit one day including wheelie and maybe a spike mini figure.
I made a Chinese LEGO kit of Bumblebee (an actual licensed one) which had jointed knees. It made him hard to stand up, so if OP had knee joints, they would need to be ratcheted or very sturdy and tight.
Oh damn I had no idea there was a Bumblebee
Amazing. Cleans up nicer in both modes better than some of the more recent WFC toys!
He looks absolutely perfect
Like you said in the video, if there's anything we don't like about it, we can change it because it's Lego. I'd say that applies to the lack of knee joints as well. Give it like a day on the public market and I guarantee someone will have figured out a way to give it knees. Granted, maybe not very stable knees, but functional ones.
I agree, I actually think a knee fix would be quite straightforward
POV: The waste just breaks while you’re transforming it
100% want a lego G1 soundwave next
I cannot wait for this to come out! Ive been saving up for it and I’m only £20 away. Ill definitely be picking this up when i get enough! As someone who grew with the kre-o transformers sets, this is what I’ve wanted from those sets.
Anyone find it hilarious that eventhought they created their own LEGO brand aka Kre-O but they couldn't replicate what LEGO had produce? Guess Hasbro should of leave it to the professional!
Ikr?! Lego did it great!
All I can say is that people for as long as I can remember have been making Lego versions of transformers. So kudos Lego u answered dreams with this 😂👍
Mind it's not the best but it is great for a start👍🔥
Man alive this looks amazing! fantastic review too! really enjoyed it. I actually owned the original G1 Optimus Prime Hasbro toy when I was a wee lad in the 80's( yes still got it trailer & all) & it is amazing how accurate to the original toy figure this not only looks but also transforms. I know you really didnt like the fact it had no knees, but neither did the original toy, so I think its not only a design choice, but again reinforcing the fact that Lego & Hasbro wanted to keep this as close to the original as possible.
This is a must have.. as Lego collector myself.. what I would like to have next is an Ultra Magnus Lego model.. since they already have this prime.. they just need to figure out how to create the body armour…
I'd imagine this will set me back $200. Maybe $400. As for Lego Megatron, I'm hoping his alt mode is a tank.
Apparently he’s 170 USD, but factoring in tax he’s probably very close to $200
@@ronramen5827 I might've guessed.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease make a Soundwave set, Lego!
Lego and transformers the best crossover
100%!
Lego has some really strict regulations were they said they won’t make any thing like a realistic gun or a vehicle used in war they even cancelled an off spray because the vehicle was only used by the military so if they did make a megatron it would have to be something that’s not a gun or tank
Hopefully we get a trailer at some point in the future
Oh man a trailer would be incredible!
Watch the trailer cost about $300
Definitely my favorite optimus figure something about it.
Great review! I NEED THIS NOW!!! But it ANNOYS me SO MUCH that you never reconnected the "waist" joint to the upper torso. 😂 I can't stand it!🤣 But really, great review!
I am soooo glad you did a review for this!! When it comes out I am buying it immediately!!!
Thanks so much!
Pretty cool but for the price, I'd rather just buy the actual Hasbro Transformer or a DLX Figure by Three Zero
I am getting this for my 10th birthday 😊😊😊
When I get this thing, I am going to try my damn best to give this thing knees, I have a few spare ratchet joints that'll definitely work
This is what Kre-O Transformers should have been from the very beginning
It's all happening! It's massive! I hope they create some transformers base sets for dioramas and background posing
I agree! Id love to get more!
Soundwave would be pretty cool
This cool optimus prime mister primevsprime
I agree man! :)
Yes
