I absolutely love it! I cannot wait! New Studio Series 86 Megatron next year, there' also a new Studio Series 86 Galvatron next year (though the Kingdom version is so great, I wonder how they could improve it).
I hope it’s a brand new figure but the galvatron will probably just be a heavy remold with maybe an extra accessory being smtj starscream related, perhaps the crown or his ashes
@@reggiebrown9508 I’ll take the online approach unless he is in stock at gamestop. Even so he will definitely get a re issue not to mention how hasbro has improved distribution this year. Almost all wave legacy United wave 2 is available same with studio series wave 2. And magma tron is also available online last time I checked. So I hope this ends up like magma tron and not 86 ultra Magnus🤞
@WorthyGibbon I think the difference is Magmatron is a all in Transformers fan character so it's not gonna sellout like UM that every Transformers fan is getting. I'm a g1 guy so I don't buy the none g1 stuff and characters.
This is it: the Optimus Prime I’ve been waiting for since I started collecting, which was back when Studio Series first started. I’ve never gone for a commander class before (I do want Ultra Magnus), but this one I will not hesitate lol.
Yeah, the torso in the cartoon is often, or usually, angled. Each side of the windows angles up to centre of the chest. It really depended on who was drawing Optimus. Sometimes he was depicted with thr flat chest and sometimes angled. And sometimes the angle was sharper than others. The Yolopark OP has the angled chest, but it doesn't transform or have the trailer. The Yolopark also doesn't get some details right, either. There's will almost always be a compromise. And the angled chest doesn't always look good. It can take away from OP's bulk. I think they made the right call to go with the flat look. I personally think this is the definitive OP.
Man this Prime looks absolutely amazing Shartimus. I hope we get a beautiful Megatron too and I hope we get a proper G1 Megatron in his Walter P38 pistol alt mode but I highly doubt it.
all my earthrise figures becoming obsolete and its saddening me. I mean they're still great but i love the cartoon accurate designs of the studio series
Looking at Earthrise Prime, they have a similar blue for the windows, it's fine. And torso ain't bad, I'm looking at my MP-44s and it looks very close. I love how this is getting the full MP treatment, it's incredible! But he's a Commander class so US, $89.99 with tax about 96 bucks least here in California.
I'm not too torn up about it. Yes, the gun alt mode is G1 accurate , but the tank is more practical and better to display (IMO). As long as the robot mode looks really close to G1 Megatron I'm good.
Maybe it's just me, but I think what throwing me off about the torso is that the midsection (specifically under the windows) is just a bit squat and wide, with the grill being a smidge too small. It messes with the proportions a bit. I've already Got my Preorder placed regardless. Nitpicking aside it does really seem like a more affordable MP-44 which I think we all could use in our life
I had a little play around in photoshop, the waist piece needed to flare out more towards the bottom and the torso needed to be a little more sinched to get the look just right
I think it's the head. It kinda looks odd, is a little small, and he has no neck. The chest is also a little bulky from the top and sides. But otherwise, the proportions are surprisingly good on this 😮
That torso could have been a lot better, those cuts in the stomach just make the torso looks weird and the window could use more paint to look like the animation. I'm thinking of getting the Yolopark G1 Prime instead since that one is more animation accurate and highly articulated, even if it can't transform but then again I rarely ever transform my TF figures.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but the latest video so I thought my question might get noticed; if not by Shartimus then maybe by other collectors. What flight stands does Shartimus use? I noticed he had Silver Centurion Iron Man held up, with one clasp arm, by his leg - For anyone familiar that Diamond Select figure it is pretty heavy and not even its included stand supports its weight...
That’s fortunately after tax and shipping. But as much as I think this is overpriced. We might have not gotten the amazing engineering without it being a commander.
I'm skeptical of the transformation, it looks like its just loads of panels or splits open, plus I prefer the leg vents, so until I see some reviews I'm sticking with WFC
I just bought the earthrise when Hasbro had those restock. I think the figure looks structurally the exact same, new molded pieces. Just a clone of the siege earthrise
The chest and front of the cab look a little flat and could have used some more (painted) detail. Also the blue on the windows is too bright IMHO. I am eagerly awaiting your review of the Ramen Racer.
Hey shartimus prime I’m looking to get into action, figure reviewing what’s a good camera for that that’s cheap any help you could give me will be appreciated
It seems like despite errybody's thoughts, the transformation AIN'T "Mini MP44". If anything, the proportion issues may stem from an interesting design choice: the side panels and the grille of the truck mode are similar to SS86-21 Ultra Magnus. And fiddy bucks for this?? My bro-ham in Primus, Unicron, and Gaea, you *DO* know that Commander class figures start out at _90_, right? They may drop over time, they may not, but they definitely ain't debuting for sub-90. But yeah...this may be the CHUGged out "MP44" to Earthrise's "MP10", but it absosmurfinlutely feels like this mofo shares parts and thus engineering with Magnus. The previous Optimus figure was Earthrise (YOU LITERALLY FLASHED A PIC OF IT AT 7:40); it was indeed repacked for Kingdom wave 1 - ironic because it was Earthrise wave 1!! Also, there was the Amazon exclusive "Alternative Universe" version (dead Optimus), and the Walmart exclusive no-trailer-but-two-Battle-Masters Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy version (in a more G2 lookin' color scheme), which was more sensibly sold AS A VOYAGER...at the 40 dollar price point, to be fair, but those Netflix WFC-T releases were a little more expensive anyway for some reason.
And that’s accurate. It’s weird, but the truck never had the white stripe in the cartoon and film. Really! If you watch the scene in the film, while he’s transforming, the white stripe disappears the second he transforms into truck mode.
It feels like a mandela effect for most TF fans. I think it’s beacuse most modern interpretations and toys (including the og G1 toy) had the stripe but prime in the cartoon and movie never had the stripe. I do prefer optimus with no stripe so this is a win for me.
0:59 Lite?! Today's _Generations_ is literally _Masterpiece_ only affordable, in an adequite scale and often actually better looking! There is a reason why TakaraTomy largely cancelled _Masterpiece._ Seriously like name one reason I should choose MP-44 over this figure.
It's bigger, fully painted, & more articulated are 3 reasons. It also has more accessories like a flight stand, battle damaged/starscream swap out parts. etc. Diecast is another advantage. Personally I'd go 3rd party & save money if I wanted MP scale. I do agree it's a golden age for mainline as they often take mp engineering tricks but it's not a superior. Now would I rather pay 100 for this vs 400 for MP hell yeah but if u said pick 1 for free MP.
My 2 issues w/ mainline is 1. hollow, waffle plastic. I've always despised tht. Like they had a near perfect Blaster & his hollow forearms are a crime, ruining a slam dunk. 2nd is aftermarket prices. At my local toy store the mainline grimlock is more expensive than mp grimlock & fans toys grinder which are both superior. They have all 3 opened but mint, complete & the mainline is going for more. That's nuts, but if u need tht scale...
Honestly it's more than a little disappointing. Downsides: hidden leg wheels, square gas canisters (should be round), lack of detail (especially in comparison to Missing Link 01), trailer doesn't have the two workstation things for little human-sized figures, transformation is likely to have lots of fiddly fake bits, moreso than Earthrise did. Upsides - nice articulation, the head looks better than Earthrise. Somewhat tentative on this. If there's a diaclone-painted version with all the stripes and diaclone stickers as paint apps, then I'd buy that instead, to be honest. I'm really, really tired of the 'animation accurate' aesthetic. It's an excuse to cheap out on paint apps and detail. Given two Prowls - one with cheap washed out colors and barely any paint, and one with all the paint apps of the G1 stickers and sharp looking paint, which would you want? Seriously!
"hidden leg wheels" It's based on the animation. Animation Prime doesn't have leg wheels. "square gas canisters" Animation Prime has square gas cans. "lack of detail in comparison to missing link" You're comparing an update of the original toy to a figure that, again, is supposed to be more accurate to the animation. %90 of your complaints essentially boil down to it being more accurate to the cartoon than to the toy, which...sorry, but that's literally the point.
Pleeease sir stop with the bullshit of searching the defects there are so many on earthrise more than this figure stop ruining my opinion of how great this figure is ! I don’t care about the price I already purchased him without thinking twice! The only fault I found. Is maybe the backpack you criticize to much and cheap for someone who has a lot of money!
This thing sucks! Everything about this is just wrong to me. I dont like the back kibble which can pose some difficulty attaching Sideswipe's jetpack, the torso is too blocky, the chest windows are larger than they should be and are opaque, I prefer them clear and a little less of that shade of blue. No ab crunch or butterfly joints for better possibility for a "commander" figure. We've yet to see the matrix of leadership, I doubt we'll get it with this one. Missing decals like the stripes on his arms which can be seen on the side of the truck cab in alt mode and gray parts are missing off his shins which makes the legs look bland, and again, blocky. The trailer still looks too bland and dare I say only better then Earthrise's version by a slight margin. Why on earth is the Ion blaster cast in grey instead of the usual black? And now, first the leader class figures are getting smaller, now commander class is getting smaller release, and all this is worth paying $79.99-$89.99??? Definitely easy pass for me.
1. we’ve been getting lots of matrixes but i see your point 2. ion blaster was probably more black, i will watch the scene to make sure 3. the gray stripes never appeared in the movie, and his legs were all blue. 4.the trailer looks a lot bigger then the earthirise prime 5. He didn’t wear side swipes jetpack in the movie and it barley appeared in the cartoon unless for one science where he was chasing the deceptions and he was shot down ( i don’t know why he needed a jetpack in the first place considering we saw the autobots flying and shooting at the dam somewhere in the first three episodes.) 6. even if he doesn’t have butterfly joints, his arms look good enough to touch the other side of his body to poses with the axe might still be good as well with the blaster 7. the windows took up half of the cab so i don’t think they look that big 8. we don’t know how big he is because the guy that had this posed him playing a piano and wasn’t smart enough to maybe place him next to diffrent voyager/leader class figures so we are able to get a sense of scale. 9. it would probably be 80$ which is a lot better then 100 considering the amarda prime was a similar price. edit: yes, the ion blaster seems to be more black to me then gray but i can kinds see what you mean, but they got the blaster correct and it looks way better the the chunky er version.
@@RajeevPrashad Welp, I was wrong about there being no matrix included with this figure, premature of me. Along with the preorder, new photos shows that the ion blaster is indeed much black, also premature. I know that this is supposed to be based on the cartoon/86 movie, it's just looks plain and lacking in detail toywise, I mean it's there, but it doesn't "pop" for me. Among many inconsistencies, the cartoon has been inconsistent with rather or not Autobots can fly on their own, realistically, they shouldn't be able to with some exceptions. If it can hold the blaster and matrix with both hands, that'll be nice. Idk, but the chest does seem out of proportion with his head, the head looks smaller for some reason causing his chest to look bigger. Also along with the preorder, Hasbro released a behind the scenes on the figure and scaled it with the Earthrise version, and this commander is taller so that's a plus. And as expected, it is $89.99, which I still feel is way too much for this with all it comes with.
This looks fucking awful. Why did Hasbro not just upscale Earthrise Prime and give it the 86 colour treatment. This new figure looks shit ffs look at that back kibble. Nah this a buy one keep it boxed and sell it later.
Takara is doing a cartoon repaint of Earthrise Prime in the Dramatic Capture series to go along with the Decepticon pack that came out at the start of the year. So check that one out.
the earthirise sucks, the backpack in this thing looks a tone better then the wheels on the earthirise’s butt, it was also lacking in articulation as well as a racy as his legs were lacking in proportions, and there no wheels that are visible in sight. the er figure was given a similar treatment in a three pack with telegram one and that thing doesn’t even look remotely as good as this figure, people would literly riot if they figured out the 86 COMMANDER WITH A HIGHER BUDGET IS THE SAME GARBAGE THING JUST BIGGER.
C'mon man! It looks great overall, but considering that it’s SS86 it makes no sense why he shouldn't have a more screen accurate MP-44 style head sculpt which is toon accurate compared to MP-10. Guess I'll have to use my customized R.E.D. Optimus Prime head sculpt to replace it, unless maybe a good 3rd party company can make one instead.

He didn’t wear side swipes jetpack in the movie and it barley appeared in the cartoon unless for one science where he was chasing the deceptions and he was shot down ( i don’t know why he needed a jetpack in the first place considering we saw the autobots flying and shooting at the dam somewhere in the first three episodes.)
6. even if he doesn’t have butterfly joints, his arms look good enough to touch the other side of his body to poses with the axe might still be good as well with the blaster
7. the windows took up half of the cab so i don’t think they look that big
8. we don’t know how big he is because the guy that had this posed him playing a piano and wasn’t smart enough to maybe place him next to diffrent voyager/leader class figures so we are able to get a sense of scale.
9. it would probably be 80$ which is a lot better then 100 considering the amarda prime was a similar price.
edit: yes, the ion blaster seems to be more black to me then gray but i can kinds see what you mean, but they got the blaster correct and it looks way better the the chunky er version.
@@RajeevPrashad Welp, I was wrong about there being no matrix included with this figure, premature of me. Along with the preorder, new photos shows that the ion blaster is indeed much black, also premature. I know that this is supposed to be based on the cartoon/86 movie, it's just looks plain and lacking in detail toywise, I mean it's there, but it doesn't "pop" for me. Among many inconsistencies, the cartoon has been inconsistent with rather or not Autobots can fly on their own, realistically, they shouldn't be able to with some exceptions. If it can hold the blaster and matrix with both hands, that'll be nice. Idk, but the chest does seem out of proportion with his head, the head looks smaller for some reason causing his chest to look bigger. Also along with the preorder, Hasbro released a behind the scenes on the figure and scaled it with the Earthrise version, and this commander is taller so that's a plus. And as expected, it is $89.99, which I still feel is way too much for this with all it comes with.
This looks fucking awful. Why did Hasbro not just upscale Earthrise Prime and give it the 86 colour treatment. This new figure looks shit ffs look at that back kibble. Nah this a buy one keep it boxed and sell it later.
Takara is doing a cartoon repaint of Earthrise Prime in the Dramatic Capture series to go along with the Decepticon pack that came out at the start of the year. So check that one out.
the earthirise sucks, the backpack in this thing looks a tone better then the wheels on the earthirise’s butt, it was also lacking in articulation as well as a racy as his legs were lacking in proportions, and there no wheels that are visible in sight. the er figure was given a similar treatment in a three pack with telegram one and that thing doesn’t even look remotely as good as this figure, people would literly riot if they figured out the 86 COMMANDER WITH A HIGHER BUDGET IS THE SAME GARBAGE THING JUST BIGGER.
I say this as someone who has always liked Earthrise Prime.
This looks 1000x better lmao.
C'mon man! It looks great overall, but considering that it’s SS86 it makes no sense why he shouldn't have a more screen accurate MP-44 style head sculpt which is toon accurate compared to MP-10.
Guess I'll have to use my
customized R.E.D. Optimus Prime head sculpt to replace it, unless maybe a good 3rd party company can make one instead.
