Fun fact: the stock standard Silver Sharpie does a great job of matching Hasbro’s silver paint so anytime I find a chip one dot with the sharpie makes it look like new.
@@TheRevenantEdits yup, the one i own is a knockoff but it fixes one of the main issues the official one had, the chestplate tends to break from transforming it over and over, the knockoff has that part and the fron wheels made of diecast plus it came with two energon blades
If only the SS 32 Prime was just an upgraded version of the Hunt for the Decepticons version, we could have gotten the perfect Bayverse Optimus Prime figure. But at the end of the day, it is Hasbro that makes the toys.
SS38 is my favorite because he is so revolutionary in his transformation. Every bit of him does something from kinda neat to really cool! Barring the poor stability, the way his legs unfurl into the headache rack is awesome to me
If you want 102 ROTB Prime and are fine with KOs, I recommend the Baiwei KO. Fixes the back immensely and comes with all the weapons, including 38's gun.
Just for the fact that even you brought up the fact that the guy who was talking about the Transformers toys could be the same guy who did the same thing for the bionicle commercials gives you a thumbs up in my book because I had the exact same thought!
102's section made me realize that we've came a long way from 2018. I like how the designers were very open and honest about the circumstances of the figure, and how they went into a lot of their choices was also cool
This is one of my favorites because of this gimmick and this gimmick alone! 2:02 But my first favorite has to be both of the bayverse primes from studio series!
Honestly for SS32 and 102 the Baiwei versions pretty much completely removed any need for me to hunt down the officials especially with the insane aftermarket of both. The tabs on the KO32 don't break as easily (at least on the V3 version) and it brings back 05s collapsible wheel-wells for the hell of it. The 102KO comes with accurate arm guns, extra accessories and a cleaned up truck bed so it's basically the definitive version of the mold imo The fact they both come in Nemesis decos is also another big plus for me.
Big fan of SS44 since the chest can be swapped, and the the Baiwei KO lets you swap the face. Really nice to rotate modes in the display every once in a while.
@@RingoLoadagain I get your gorilla arms complaint for other figures, dotm Nitro Bumblebee is my only Bee and his gorilla arms annoy me a lot when I mess with him, but dotm voyager Optimus doesn't have that issue since he has wrist swivels so you can give him normal arms
I owned them all and the TLK Dark Optimus is my favorite movie Optimus figure of all time. I also own the Rusty and Nemesis verisons of Evasion Prime and that mold is so good.
That twenty eleven Optimus was my first Optimus prime toy... That my grandma gave me before her passing... And also the ss38 is my top favorite Optimus prime...
Ss05 Will Always Be My Favorite The Sturdiness is Amazing His Posing Is Absolutely amazing His Truck Is Amazing But His Transformation is a bit fiddly But My Favorite Voyager of all time
I just ordered studio series 44 dotm Optimus prime with his trailer. For half off. On Amazon. The most random sale ever. And it's in time for my birthday. YIPEEEE
The Takara version of the 2010 Hunt for the Decepticons Optimus with more accurate colors and chrome is flat out THE best Optimus figure. Lucked out on finding it on eBay - still wanna get the standard one someday.
Evasion Mode Prime is probably my favorite out of this lot, with the DotM Leader Class version of the studio series bayformer prime mold coming at a close second. Yeah, it's a leader class so it doesn't *really* count for this list, but that mold genuinely is a ton of fun. The massive hollow space in the back is kinda iffy, to be honest, but I've really grown to love the figure in general. The whole thing is just a shocking amount of fun to pose with and transform. Meanwhile, Evasion Mode is just such a joy to mess with. The deco is wack, sure, but it more than makes up for it in just how clever the transformation is, and how genuinely fun the whole figure is.
I had the original 07 Optimus, lasted 7 year old me 5 years I think? I never had a Megatron for it to fight so its only opponents were Deluxe Brawl, Barricade, and Frenzy. Good times.
HFTD is still a marvel. HFTD, ROTB mainline (that thing is so fun and I really want to paint it nice), SS102, SS05, then the original 07/09 era mold are probably my top 5. I'd love a premium finish HFTD.
102, Original 2007, and Evasion mode are my favorites. I'm considering adding SS32 to my collection, as I do enjoy complex and smaller transformers in general.
I wish I kept my 2007 Optimus. My mom gave it and 2007 Bumblebee (disguise) to her friend’s kid before they moved back to Japan, a few months before I got back into TF
buy the KO of ss102 from baiwei because the truck bed is improved, they add a little transformation hinge to the shins which slots into the back of the cab, cleaning the truck bed. they also added an optional parts forming trailer hitch which has ports for weapon storage
So happy with the SS38 rerelease, I don’t have any of the others. I wish I had gotten the SS DOTM Leader, but missed both the original and the Buzzworthy rerelease.
It is crazy validating to hear someone else say they prefer SS-05 to SS-32! I always enjoyed the better accuracy of 32, but 05 is just a much better all around figure to mess with in my experience, especially with the Premium Finish upgraded paint job.
About the HFTD, you can open his back and head, clearing space for tucking the matrix and his head, it's not in any instructions and I found out in 2023 when I got the Revenge Deco from AOE
I recently got ROTB optimus (its also my first optimus) and I am honestly so glad for it bc it really is a good mould, I got Transformers: One optimus like a day after and its pretty good too tbh,
It's impressive to see how many voyagers Optimus gets, they're indeed awesome, though it would be nice to see affordable deluxe class figures based on any of the movie versions Optimus. But yeah that aside, I do have both TLK first release voyager and 2008 Allspark power voyager figures of Optimus, I guess that for nostalgic reasons I'm going for the 2007 mold, it's definitely not the greatest with it's awkward leg automorph feature, but I had so much fun playing with that figure ever since and oddly enough, at first it did bothered me that it didn't had the colors like in the movie and far as I know, being based on the G1 colors, I'm sure orange wasn't part of it, but eventually I grew to like it, it's inaccurate that's for sure, but it is an interesting change of pace, for me of course and I have no regrets liking this figure and will still love it. Unpopular opinion: I will say, I do like the 2007 movie design a lot more than his most recent looks being faithful to the original, they're not bad at all, it's mostly since the 2007 era was the time I was introduced to Transformers after all.
SS32 and ROTB Mainline are the best imo, they just feel the most refined with their engineering and how much they can onteract w other toys. Like they dont have as much 5mm ports as i want so boooo, but SS32 can do the Jetwing Prime, and the best Leader Class trailer cause it combines smoothly lol, and i think to this day his poseability is the smoothest to pull off, w ROTB Mainline also being way better than the rest of the Primes in poseability And then i have SS38 and the DOTM Voyager as solid runner ups It helps that i actually like the toy proportions on SS38 more than the actual design in the BBM lol
05 proportions are somewhat accuerate tho, bayverse prime is quite wide with really long legs, also despite inaccurate backpack it cleans out more nicely, also the legs are accurate with that fold thing over the wheel
While waiting for my G1 Universe Legacy Unite Optimus Prime to arrive from Amazon, I've found my old Voyager Optimus Prime 2007 (from the Michael Bay movie) in the storeroom. Fixed the spring and plastic piece of the smoke stack blasters (cos they're so annoying when they keep firing the bullets). Overtime, I like the Voyager Optimus Prime 07 I got. So I'll take good care of it, along with my Animated Optimus Prime (that comes with Megatron and a free DVD).
My favorite is by far 102 for the Robot mode, posing, and transformation. I do like the Premire Edition TLK, and I prefer (funny enough) the wider chest of SS 05 to the later version. While I'm in the 102 over 32 camp, I will say that 32's truck mode is one of if not my favorite trucks; it looks so much like a real truck from all angles
My personal favorite is SS32. I'd be lying if I said I knew where you were coming from with the gripes about the transformation but I do agree that the mould has some issues. I got the Baiwei version of the mould that fixes MY biggest problems with the mould; adding the collapsing rear wheelwells and the longer smokestacks.
In terms of Studio Series, 32 and 38 are the perfect Voyager Optimuses. If you don't like them because you prefer the other molds, then that's fine, but I enjoy those guys.
The 2007 Voyager is a real sleeper hit, I got him off Toyfu at this years TFNation, I got the orange one, that I think is the Alspark powered version, It is a solid toy and it is fun to flip back and forth, My top 5 are 1. HFTD 2. Evasion Mode 3. Mainline ROTB 4. SS ROTB 5. 2007
Hmm. I had to do some thinking but out of the movie Optimus Primes I have (SS 05PF, 38, 44, 102 and Evasion mode) I think I have to go with SS 05 Premium Finish. I just love all the details. He looks sooo good. 2nd would probably be Evasion Mode and SS 38 a close 3rd. SS 102 was a bit of a let down as I love a clean vehicle mode. Hopefully they redo his lags one day.
I remember my dad getting me the DOTM one for my 11th birthday. Lame ahh figure but a nice memory. Also you should grab one of Baiwei's Optimus', I've got their 102 and like 3 versions of the SS32 mold (will sell one) because they keep putting out improved decos of that
Ss32 might be the best looking and posing bayverse optimus. Even better than the leader, mpm and thunder leader because all of them look wonk with proportionally that are weird, batsh*t horrible transformation with thunder leader. Id like to see a mpm optimus with ss32 as a base
Saying that you forgive SS102's horrible truck mode because it was a re-tool budget makes zero sense. It was still a full price voyager. Hasbro cheaped out and made more money because of it. That's pretty not forgivable if you ask me. And their excuse of wanting OP out in that wave without having to actually take any risk by having Target front load all of their expense makes it even worse. I get being a fan, but it doesn't excuse them of being insanely greedy and insensitive to the people that just wanna buy their toys.
I removed the kibble from my ladt knight optimus prime and that figure looks insane my favourite optimus figure is either studio series 102 studio series 32 or evasion mode
The only thing I dislike with the mainline Optimus is that the ankle are WEAK! Like seriously why no reviwers have brought this up? I don't mean weak as in floopy joints per say but the connection is weak. Also don't like that it connect to the feet in a soft locked that feels like it will get weak overtime!
HFTD was such a hit at the time I ended up buying two of them as both modes were very good. Now however I think the truck mode is the best display option for this mold as it's probably the most detailed, and nicely painted out of any Bayverse Prime voyagers. SS ROTF has a great streamlined and articulated robot mode, but the truck mode manages to fail on every level as it's dull, small, and cheaper looking than most. Still pains me that I completely skipped out on the DOTM Voyagers Prime, and Shockwave as they were literally everywhere back in the day. Evasion Prime, the only TF I got from that movie, definitely felt budgeted, but was still a pretty fun, and unique attempt at the flat nose truck design while still carrying over the Bayverse aesthetic. TLK Prime was nicely painted all around, but had minimal engineering, and felt cheap all around. High hopes to see what Hasbro can do with this design with a Leader budget. While it's scheduled to be AOE Prime, I'd be pretty surprised if this ended up being another Evasion Prime. Only got Premium paint Bee movie Prime last year, and despite it's quirks still probably one of best movie designs in toy form we've gotten from any of the movies. Robot mode may have it's flaws, but the truck mode is clean. May feel different once ROTB Prime releases next year, but as it will probably remain unchanged, the only real improvement is the robot mode.
My favorites... 1. HftD Voyager Battle Blade mold; I have that Walmart DotM Battle Hook variant, and love it. This is The King of Fighters amongst Voyager class Bayverse Optimus Prime figures, period. 2. AoE Evasion Mode: THIS mofo is an absolute McBeast. I think that one of the many repaints/reissues had a much nicer lookin' BLACK version of the shotgun for DotM MechTech Voyager Megatron...but whatever. And that's it. • I can't comment on SS38 or SS102, I ain't got'em. • To hell with the 2007/RotF Voyager • To hell with DotM MechTech Voyager, however, gimme that MechTech sniper rifle to war axe from Fireburst Optimus Prime, that thing was hot!! • The TLK Voyager is okayish but nothing special in my mind • The SS05 mold (I have the SS44 DotM Jetwing Optimus Prime version)? That can go fly into the heart of a lightning bolt and take SS32 & SS44 with it...lame quarter-assed nonsense. - SS05 looks fugly and can't do anything (but gimme them sick swords for the Battle Blade functionality). - SS32 (or SS44 if you use the included spare 2007/RotF style abdominal part that comes with SS35 Jetfire) only really looks cool when combined with Jetfire. - SS44 should've never been a Leader class, you can't convince me that dinky trailer and that lame weapons loadout is an additional 20 US bucks of plastic, engineering, paint, or parts count.
I honestly don't think any of these Optimus Prime toys are bad, but here's my personal preference ranking of the figures I've messed with; 1. Evasion Mode 2. Battle Blades 3. Studio Series 102 4. Studio Series 32/44 5. DOTM 6. TLK (I don't own 07/09, SS05, SS38, or ROTB Mainline, but based on what I know, Mainline, SS38, 07/09, & SS05 would be how they'd shake out amongst each other 😂).
1:02 _Studio Series_ _Rise of the Beasts_ is my favourite Optimus Prime toy period as of the release of this video, _Studio Series_ 32 is my favourite first 3 movies Optimus, _The Last Knight_ voyager is my favourite _Transformers 4_ and _5_ Prime though his uncoming _Studio Series_ figure has a pretty good chance at beating it and the others are inferior renditions of the same designs so I just don't see the point of considering them.
Well…. That just Prime.

Big fan of SS44 since the chest can be swapped, and the the Baiwei KO lets you swap the face. Really nice to rotate modes in the display every once in a while.
Personally I believe bumblebee movie optimus prime is one of the best
Best Studio Series Voyager Prime by far. SS102 could feel nicer in both mode but God, that truck mode is such a downgrade.
Honestly the original dotm voyager prime is overhated I actually find myself messing with him alot, the fireburst version is really neat
it's such a fun toy

That one third party ss102 fixes most the issues
The 2007/2009 one is my favorite, wish I still had all the parts for it
They actually increased the price of TLK figures by a couple dollars form what TF’s cost for years before then, so budget wasn’t smaller there.

My bloods pumpin with red white and blue spirit
5:45 ayo is that the Bionicle ad guy's voice?!
Can you do a review on the joytoy(?) ultramarine? Im kinda thinking of getting one
I have 2 of these
one of them is a ko Nemesis repaint
I removed the kibble from my ladt knight optimus prime and that figure looks insane my favourite optimus figure is either studio series 102 studio series 32 or evasion mode
Fun video!
I actually have that original one! It's missing a few bits, but I thought it was a solid toy
The only thing I dislike with the mainline Optimus is that the ankle are WEAK! Like seriously why no reviwers have brought this up? I don't mean weak as in floopy joints per say but the connection is weak. Also don't like that it connect to the feet in a soft locked that feels like it will get weak overtime!
i predict that the studio series version of evasion prime is going to be the best movie prime by a wide margin
HFTD was such a hit at the time I ended up buying two of them as both modes were very good. Now however I think the truck mode is the best display option for this mold as it's probably the most detailed, and nicely painted out of any Bayverse Prime voyagers. SS ROTF has a great streamlined and articulated robot mode, but the truck mode manages to fail on every level as it's dull, small, and cheaper looking than most. Still pains me that I completely skipped out on the DOTM Voyagers Prime, and Shockwave as they were literally everywhere back in the day. Evasion Prime, the only TF I got from that movie, definitely felt budgeted, but was still a pretty fun, and unique attempt at the flat nose truck design while still carrying over the Bayverse aesthetic. TLK Prime was nicely painted all around, but had minimal engineering, and felt cheap all around. High hopes to see what Hasbro can do with this design with a Leader budget. While it's scheduled to be AOE Prime, I'd be pretty surprised if this ended up being another Evasion Prime. Only got Premium paint Bee movie Prime last year, and despite it's quirks still probably one of best movie designs in toy form we've gotten from any of the movies. Robot mode may have it's flaws, but the truck mode is clean. May feel different once ROTB Prime releases next year, but as it will probably remain unchanged, the only real improvement is the robot mode.
9:42 that’s what she said
the OG 2009 figure just has a charm to it, but I may just be nostalgia blind.
This video is made for adult collectors because “master skywalker there’s too many of them what are we going to do”
I can't wait till the studio series aoe/lk prime
My favorites...
1. HftD Voyager Battle Blade mold; I have that Walmart DotM Battle Hook variant, and love it. This is The King of Fighters amongst Voyager class Bayverse Optimus Prime figures, period.
2. AoE Evasion Mode: THIS mofo is an absolute McBeast. I think that one of the many repaints/reissues had a much nicer lookin' BLACK version of the shotgun for DotM MechTech Voyager Megatron...but whatever.
And that's it.
• I can't comment on SS38 or SS102, I ain't got'em.
• To hell with the 2007/RotF Voyager
• To hell with DotM MechTech Voyager, however, gimme that MechTech sniper rifle to war axe from Fireburst Optimus Prime, that thing was hot!!
• The TLK Voyager is okayish but nothing special in my mind
• The SS05 mold (I have the SS44 DotM Jetwing Optimus Prime version)? That can go fly into the heart of a lightning bolt and take SS32 & SS44 with it...lame quarter-assed nonsense.
- SS05 looks fugly and can't do anything (but gimme them sick swords for the Battle Blade functionality).
- SS32 (or SS44 if you use the included spare 2007/RotF style abdominal part that comes with SS35 Jetfire) only really looks cool when combined with Jetfire.
- SS44 should've never been a Leader class, you can't convince me that dinky trailer and that lame weapons loadout is an additional 20 US bucks of plastic, engineering, paint, or parts count.
4:38 is my fav prime
I honestly don't think any of these Optimus Prime toys are bad, but here's my personal preference ranking of the figures I've messed with;
1. Evasion Mode
2. Battle Blades
3. Studio Series 102
4. Studio Series 32/44
5. DOTM
6. TLK
(I don't own 07/09, SS05, SS38, or ROTB Mainline, but based on what I know, Mainline, SS38, 07/09, & SS05 would be how they'd shake out amongst each other 😂).
There’s 2 ss Optimus prime molds, so close !
ROTF is my first prime. id like to get a rise of the beasts prime at some point
1:02 _Studio Series_ _Rise of the Beasts_ is my favourite Optimus Prime toy period as of the release of this video, _Studio Series_ 32 is my favourite first 3 movies Optimus, _The Last Knight_ voyager is my favourite _Transformers 4_ and _5_ Prime though his uncoming _Studio Series_ figure has a pretty good chance at beating it and the others are inferior renditions of the same designs so I just don't see the point of considering them.
pls do every movie deluxe bumblebee next 🙌
My ss38 had his left ear/horn thing broken off out to the box, and I never got my replacement head
They have the last knight studio series for pre-order on amazon
I think out of box SS 102 is better but modded like say the DNA design upgrade kit for 102 and modding SS 38…SS 38 blows SS 102 out of the water
My top 5 are
5. 07
4. Freeway Brawl 2-pack
3. RotF
2. Sam's Club 3-pack
1. Defender
For real though it’s
5. Battle Blades + Comettor (HftD)
4. SS-38
3. Fireburst (DotM)
2. Evasion Mode
1. Defender (07/RotF)
