I honestly think that this figure is worth the extra cash over the other version of bayverse optimus, its an incredible figure and the best version of this optimus as a figure that actually does transform
These figures have been looking really good. Hasbro has not been slacking off. Shame that I'm not able to get Studio Series figures right now. Out of my budget.
WFC looks good but I feel like there are too many G1 retreads and the studio series is a breath of fresh air. Currently only collecting constructacons. Justice has finally been served.
the movies have a special place in my heart because I grew up with them, and always loved movie Prime and Starscream designs. Just overall, I like the bots themselves, however the movies themselves.. I especially hate the way they kill off the characters.
Bumblebee movie got better praise but the action scenes are nowhere near as good as bay movies. Transformers are all about action now "Give me your face"
The windows are also cast in solid plastic and painted over, compared to the previous version's translucent blue. But yeah, very minimal changes. You can also peg the small gun onto the feet in vehicle mode.
@@Kids_Scissors You're wrong the line isn't full of cheap figures like this. Then you're admiting that this line sucks and you still are willing to waste your money
Jake Rouler I hope some company does an upgrade kit to fix the wheels of the trailer, gap fillers and make better weapons, I hope there is a way to fix the windows on Prime
Funny you mention a jetpack. There's now an upgrade kit called DNA dk15 that gives him better trailer parts, jetpack, guns, swords, axes, shields and knuckle dusters.
Hey, Baltmatrix! Are you aware of Commandroids? It's a transformers-based rpg on Kickstarter. It has a little over a week left to go, and isn't quite complete. If you could give it a shout-out, that would probably bring it enough attention to reach it's initial goal.
Well, I’m an idiot and now I have the three movie Optimus primes..... I feel like They will release a ROTF Battle Damage Optimus Prime, with battle hooks
Baltmatrix if i was you i would have grimlockimus paint your first optimus prime aka duplicate into nemesis prime, not saying you have to just curious, just in case you can have a custom nemesis
1. SS44 has solid blue plastic painted over in silver for the windows and truck grille (yet the tabs on the grille are STILL stupidly easy to break). 2. I take it you don't recall the Hunt for the Decepticons Voyager class Battle Blade Optimus Prime mold??? That's a pretty complex figure, heralded as the RotF Leader class mold downsized to Voyager. Now THAT'S a transformation that's no fun. Only Movie Optimus figure I can think of that's worse in that regard is MPM4 and all its KOs.
The Voyager retool irritates me. They should have engineered the flight deck / Jetfire to combine with the original studio series figure rather than retooling a few bits, necessitating a whole extra figure being purchased by those of us who got the initial release. Also should have had the hook weapons. Just feels like an EA with Battlefront 2 move to me....
This would have to be the trailer Optimus Prime was seen with in Dark of the Moon. I thought it was a Revenge of the Fallen Optimus figure, because of the Jetfire parts, that give him flight capabilities
If you think about it in the 2nd movie Jetfire dies so Optimus can fly then in the 3rd movie optimus's trailer turns into a jetpack and a weapons platform meaning the took a dead former deception and re built him into a triple changing sparkles thing and then in the 4 and 5 movie Optimus has thrusters in his feet meaning HE HAD JETFIRE BUILT INTO HIM
It's effectively a Voyager with enough extra parts to warrant that $20 price hike to the $50 Leader class price point; just ask Siege Ultra Magnus, Shockwave, & Astrotrain and Earthrise Optimus Prime...
I have a question if someone could answer, how come many images, and even the first one of this video, depict the middle abs part as being red instead of silver, but the video shows it as silver? Do some models just have different paint for it or?
aside from the hollow jet engines of his flight pack the other thing that kinda bugs me is the two front trailer's wheels are fake, why they did not make them working wheels? is it that costly to make?
There's so many design cues that are off on this thing. How come the Voyager movie Primes always look so unlike the on-screen design? The ROTF Prime/DOTM Prime is as close to a perfect on-screen representation as you can get aside from the MPM figure. They should've just kept reusing that figure.
when it comes to the optimus prime figure, which mold would you prefer? the studio series mold or the battle blades mold? because im trying to find a voyager class optimus prime that scales well with the studio series 38 optimus prime.
I really dig your reviews, but I wish you'd take a little more time editing. It's a little jarring to watch you repeat lines a couple times, in addition to the empty space where you think about what to say next
Can this Optimus Prime wield the sword and shield from the Voyager Class Optimus Prime from "The Last Knight" toyline? Or maybe the Jetpack from this Optimus Prime can be connected to "The Last Knight" Optimus Prime?
SS Optimus Prime can wield the sword (has wrist swivels), but his forearms don't have 5mm ports to accommodate the shield. TLK Voyager Prime can't use the jet-pack (it won't fit).
I skipped one of the Studio Series Primes once before, and....while I like the aesthetic.....I’m getting ROTF Leader Prime flashbacks watching you transform the robot, and while I like that figure too, I’ve long since gotten used to the relative simplicity of the Prime Wars and now Siege lines-it’s nice to not have to worry about origami when transforming a figure lol. I’m gonna have to give this one some thought.
The voyager class figure from the first movie is far superior to that thing. In fact I don't even know why Hasbro wasted money making the Studio Series because none of the figures look like their big screen counterparts; with the exception of Optimus Prime from that Bumblebee movie.
Nice figure for a really senseless movie... Bay's transformers were just unnecessary, so is this arc thing... Optimus is cool, but this headsculpt is just bad, It's accurated to the movie, that's why is bad, actually. I would never buy this figure, but i gotta admire the cleaverness of the engineering and sculpting.
“They’ve got my trailer! I need that flight tech.”
I love that this prime has the most accurate paint job, I just wish the axe had paint and that the shield had a better peg to act like a shield
I was not expecting to learn what a refrigeration unit on a truck trailer looks like. Always making these reviews educational as well as entertaining.
I honestly think that this figure is worth the extra cash over the other version of bayverse optimus, its an incredible figure and the best version of this optimus as a figure that actually does transform
These figures have been looking really good. Hasbro has not been slacking off. Shame that I'm not able to get Studio Series figures right now. Out of my budget.
As for me, too busy with Gunpla.
I'm too deep into War for Cybertron line to backtrack to Studio Series now. lol Hopefully later...
WFC looks good but I feel like there are too many G1 retreads and the studio series is a breath of fresh air. Currently only collecting constructacons. Justice has finally been served.
@@xboxgamerJ16 well this comment didn't age well haha
I may not like Michael bay’s transformers but it’s really hard to deny transformers that can just be upgraded with giants suits are awesome
the movies have a special place in my heart because I grew up with them, and always loved movie Prime and Starscream designs. Just overall, I like the bots themselves, however the movies themselves.. I especially hate the way they kill off the characters.
Ariel Azaria yeah before killing a character had meaning but in the bay verse it’s just “he dead, back to fighting”
Bumblebee movie got better praise but the action scenes are nowhere near as good as bay movies. Transformers are all about action now "Give me your face"
Instablaster
@@khoyrulalam8274 yeah, every action scene in bumblebee look puny compared too Optimus rage scene in dotm alone
Just found the buzz worthy bumblebee studio series 44 Optimus Prime at target and I love it. I need to get the dna design upgrade kit asap
Saw thumbnail.
Realized how hollow the wings look.
Said to myself Balt is going to HATE this figure.
Watched video anyway
I’d prefer getting this one for the accurate colors, plus he’s still compatible with jetfire
Hes also compatible with jetfire.
Same mold.
@@TornaitSuperBird Jetfire comes with a replacement abdomen piece to replace it.
Windows are painted on and has better hinges on the 2 parts that connect the gas tank panels to the rear of prime on ss44
So glad I didn’t touch the earlier Primes
The windows are also cast in solid plastic and painted over, compared to the previous version's translucent blue. But yeah, very minimal changes.
You can also peg the small gun onto the feet in vehicle mode.
...and I will-
The world may never know
Drinking game: take a drink everytime balt says "vehicle mode" or "knees are loose" you'll be so hydrated!
That one dislike is shockwave. He's mad that prime got a figure before he did.
Poor shockwave
The trailer ring is called an Anullar ring just thought that I would mention it
Underwhelming shield small axe lack of rolling wheels on the trailer hollow backpack might skip it.
Skip the whole line because that how it b
Nice rotf box art.
@@Kids_Scissors You're wrong the line isn't full of cheap figures like this.
Then you're admiting that this line sucks and you still are willing to waste your money
The entire line is full of hits or misses.
Jake Rouler I hope some company does an upgrade kit to fix the wheels of the trailer, gap fillers and make better weapons, I hope there is a way to fix the windows on Prime
Once you get the hang of the transformation, this figure is real fun
Funny you mention a jetpack.
There's now an upgrade kit called DNA dk15 that gives him better trailer parts, jetpack, guns, swords, axes, shields and knuckle dusters.
How much and where can I get it
“I will be honest this is some real origami” -Baltmatrix 2019
you seen to be forgetting about Voyager Battle Blades Prime...that thing was the leader shrunk down..that thing is way more complex than this
Hasbro: *Studio Series 44
Also Hasbro: "What is paint?"
I love this set but GEESH
The budget went to the trailer.
I'm happy I skipped on the original SS-32 Optimus, it has become redundant to this point
SS-38 Optimus Prime finally had a trailer
Hey, Baltmatrix! Are you aware of Commandroids? It's a transformers-based rpg on Kickstarter. It has a little over a week left to go, and isn't quite complete. If you could give it a shout-out, that would probably bring it enough attention to reach it's initial goal.
That's hollow pieces is where dr wu does his magic
This looks amazeing also the suits in his trailer, also hes a jet transport now? Lol
Thats not funny thats awesome
Well, I’m an idiot and now I have the three movie Optimus primes.....
I feel like They will release a ROTF Battle Damage Optimus Prime, with battle hooks
Baltmatrix if i was you i would have grimlockimus paint your first optimus prime aka duplicate into nemesis prime, not saying you have to just curious, just in case you can have a custom nemesis
We kinda needed another Optimus to round out the movie trilogy.
The truck is cool the weapon circle is cool the bot mode is like not
1. SS44 has solid blue plastic painted over in silver for the windows and truck grille (yet the tabs on the grille are STILL stupidly easy to break).
2. I take it you don't recall the Hunt for the Decepticons Voyager class Battle Blade Optimus Prime mold??? That's a pretty complex figure, heralded as the RotF Leader class mold downsized to Voyager. Now THAT'S a transformation that's no fun. Only Movie Optimus figure I can think of that's worse in that regard is MPM4 and all its KOs.
Wow, Balt, you cut off your own outro.
He does shit like this all the time
@@Nomadfilms_ That's why we love him ;-)
boomermatrix
He first used the device in Dark Of The Moon in Chernoble
The circle shaped weapons rack was used in chirnobyle
Hey balt when is the jetfire review. I really want to see it
Love the vids man keep up the good work
I just picked this guy up today at walmart.. the truck transformation is tricky tho.. but not as hard as MPM-04 (which i do own)
I actually want this set
The Voyager retool irritates me. They should have engineered the flight deck / Jetfire to combine with the original studio series figure rather than retooling a few bits, necessitating a whole extra figure being purchased by those of us who got the initial release. Also should have had the hook weapons. Just feels like an EA with Battlefront 2 move to me....
Can this guy be combined with the Jetfire of the line?
Yup. Jetfire comes with a spare 2007/RotF styled abdomen piece for SS44 to swap out; that way the belts can attach and complete the look.
This would have to be the trailer Optimus Prime was seen with in Dark of the Moon. I thought it was a Revenge of the Fallen Optimus figure, because of the Jetfire parts, that give him flight capabilities
If you think about it in the 2nd movie Jetfire dies so Optimus can fly then in the 3rd movie optimus's trailer turns into a jetpack and a weapons platform meaning the took a dead former deception and re built him into a triple changing sparkles thing and then in the 4 and 5 movie Optimus has thrusters in his feet meaning HE HAD JETFIRE BUILT INTO HIM
Leader class? They just keep getting smaller
It's effectively a Voyager with enough extra parts to warrant that $20 price hike to the $50 Leader class price point; just ask Siege Ultra Magnus, Shockwave, & Astrotrain and Earthrise Optimus Prime...
Great video. ❤🎉
The second difference is the silver windshield added to the new one.
What I will never understand is that the ROTF prime doesnt combine with jetfire, but movie 1 and DoTM prime does.
Am glad that you went back to the old format i didn't like that much the new one
Is this more complex than the ROTF leader class optimus prime that says “I am optimus prime”?
I have a question if someone could answer, how come many images, and even the first one of this video, depict the middle abs part as being red instead of silver, but the video shows it as silver? Do some models just have different paint for it or?
The box pic is probably an incomplete prototype.
aside from the hollow jet engines of his flight pack the other thing that kinda bugs me is the two front trailer's wheels are fake, why they did not make them working wheels? is it that costly to make?
The platform is called a battle-portal no joke
There's so many design cues that are off on this thing. How come the Voyager movie Primes always look so unlike the on-screen design? The ROTF Prime/DOTM Prime is as close to a perfect on-screen representation as you can get aside from the MPM figure. They should've just kept reusing that figure.
I just have one question, if he's the same mould as the previous prime can he combine with Jetfire?
Yes
Why is the abdomen section red in the thumbnail?
when it comes to the optimus prime figure, which mold would you prefer? the studio series mold or the battle blades mold? because im trying to find a voyager class optimus prime that scales well with the studio series 38 optimus prime.
Good moulding, but this REALLY needs better paint.
I bought this and the bottom grill hinge IMMEDIATELY snapped off making me
Unable to hold the front grill together or into the arms at all
I think 🤔 the arm is the most difficult part to transform
My Optimus can only carry one weapon in his hand, the other hand is smaller than the other
I think they needed to work on the trailer more. Put it is amazing
98% sure the trailer is jetfires remains thrown on wheels for optimus' convenience soooooo
Jet winged Optimus Prime
I need and want that need cause i want to make stop motion videos and want cause its the best optimus toy in MY OPINION
When will you review BB movie Prime?
I really dig your reviews, but I wish you'd take a little more time editing. It's a little jarring to watch you repeat lines a couple times, in addition to the empty space where you think about what to say next
How long did it take for your package to arrive?
i think you have the wings twisted upside down
so does the trailer work for the bumblebee movie prime or not?
Is the figure really 9 inches tall?
10 inch you say mmm optimus got one
When I transform this figure, I don’t think it’s hard.
Ar you going to review sentinel prime
Perfect Effect revive commander plz
Is the trailer compatible with Bumblebee Optimus in vehicle mode?
No. The peg on the trailer is too big sadly.
@10:07
Gave up on the new format already??
Couldn't possible have made all the wheels on the trailer roll? Yikes.
I wish the traller would be sold by itself because I honestly don't like that prime design or that particular figure
Micheal bay prime has a dad bod
Precio
Can this Optimus Prime wield the sword and shield from the Voyager Class Optimus Prime from "The Last Knight" toyline? Or maybe the Jetpack from this Optimus Prime can be connected to "The Last Knight" Optimus Prime?
SS Optimus Prime can wield the sword (has wrist swivels), but his forearms don't have 5mm ports to accommodate the shield. TLK Voyager Prime can't use the jet-pack (it won't fit).
@@twistedgaming9185 Well, thanks anyway.
Stop describing the transformation in degrees it makes the transformation sound more difficult.
I would love to see a 3rd party Prime as an electric semi (Tesla,Thor ETC..)
Battle blades is much better than all three studio series optimus primes.
I skipped one of the Studio Series Primes once before, and....while I like the aesthetic.....I’m getting ROTF Leader Prime flashbacks watching you transform the robot, and while I like that figure too, I’ve long since gotten used to the relative simplicity of the Prime Wars and now Siege lines-it’s nice to not have to worry about origami when transforming a figure lol.

First oh my god baltmatrix I’m a huge fan been watching since 2016
The official Shane when did click on it I clicked on this video on a switch at 32 seconds
Sup
why they make prime as jet dont get it remember the truck version
Hahaha congested
So basically a worse version of the earthrise prime
The voyager class figure from the first movie is far superior to that thing. In fact I don't even know why Hasbro wasted money making the Studio Series because none of the figures look like their big screen counterparts; with the exception of Optimus Prime from that Bumblebee movie.
Rollin-Kimble Croskey what movies have you been watching?
And Perfect Effect did it better =/
I watched on switch and when 32 seconds it was made and so first
Nobody cares.
Tell it to the other people who said it
@@FrostyNuggetTheCool which people?
Bottom well for me comment
Bulk Matrix dummy that is not a battle platform that is a space Bridge
Nice figure for a really senseless movie...
Bay's transformers were just unnecessary, so is this arc thing...
Optimus is cool, but this headsculpt is just bad, It's accurated to the movie, that's why is bad, actually.
I would never buy this figure, but i gotta admire the cleaverness of the engineering and sculpting.
