The way that the grill twists around to have the matrix chamber become the front bumper was such a lovely step. I have the legends-scale version, but it's the same deal there.

@@BlitzStudiosIsinsideyourhome Not always, but- They do tend to make cool stuff. Though, another company, MMC i've heard a lot of good about, in pricing as well.
Hey Jobby, you should sell this older one and get the new 2023 version of Light of Peace. It is fully painted in a darker red, the plastic feels thicker, and it has diecast joints so that it no longer feels light. The smokestacks and hand axe are tight, not loose anymore. Major upgrades all around.
@@space_racc probably because it would be cheaper to produce since the insides of the wheels are all the same instead of various joints and so they can still claim there's diecast plus the wheels are quite distributed
I had the original legends scale of this figure and aside from adding mp features like articulated hands, it essentially is just an upscale of the legends figure in terms of engineering. Just shows how good the design is
My favorite gender of MP scaled transformers are the ones upscaled from 3p legends figures, especially Magic Square. They're pretty rare, but Magic Square is the absolute king of clean alt modes, clean articulated bot modes, and an intuitive and not overly complex transformation. The clever transformation are a requirement for such a tiny scale, but it also helps to make them incredibly enjoyable to transform at a scale as large as MP. I'm still hoping they'll upscale their legends Megatron and replace all the ball joints with universal joints. It would be the best MP scale g1 Megatron
I admire how despite how many times you review an Optimus Prime figure, official or third party, you manage to make each review unique and entertaining. Bravo.
The fact that I skip every other sponsor in every RUclipsrs videos but jobbys is saying something, he actually makes them entertaining and makes me genuinely want to buy the product he is advertising, jobby just has this charm to him that makes everything he does entertaining
The Articulation really is beautiful, ironically for the least articulated looking design, just blocky and simple but able to pull off dynamic and dramatic poses while looking like a cartoon is amazing
Honestly been waiting for this to get reviewed for a while! Jobby's standards of Optimus Prime figures feels very solid and his humor is always a great way to wake up in the morning!
Out of all the transformations I've seen in this channel, this was the most satisfying one! Not only bc of the figure itself but also the editing, great job Jobby. PS: u r losing money not making a ASMR channel focused on transformations lol (not complaining about the song u usually play with it tho, it's one of my favorite parts)
5:33: Unironically they did a metal version, a painted version where the paint is directly impregnated into the plastic giving the figure a more premium Glossy finish that doesn't has paint chips like MP-44, this version is called MS-02EX, and also they did a Nemesis Prime, Shattered glass, White Ultra Magnus version, and even a versión that looks like the original G1 toy, also this metal version has new accesories, better quality and now die cast
i really like the transformation part of your reviews, the music + the way you smoothly and calmly transform the figure is literal asmr. need them to be longer 😭
I’ve been praising the legends class version of this forever and I sang it’s praises whenever I saw a review about it. I’m a bit worn out now that we have an MP scared one but holy crap this guy is everything! I bought the legends class one and it’s my favorite figure to this day. I admit I don’t really like cartoon accuracy as much as that bit of realism the old MPs have, but this guy is an exception for some reason mmmmmm
Optimus doing what looks like a JoJo pose at 8:44 is cursed in the best way possible. Also at 10:53 the appearance of Amogus Prime is something I did not expect.
The ms-02 ex has die-cast for where the grey was and the rims are also die-cast and he comes with the jet pack that I don't care for. The matrix was also painted which makes it better
Keep in mind that this is based on a *LEGENDS-CLASS* Optimus Prime where they just copied the good parts of each Optimus Prime, and it was great as well. All they need it to upscale it and add more joints and moving parts for the new upscale. I have my own Legends-class Nemesis Prime myself and I love it (I'm planning on getting Meteorite soon).
Late to the party as usual. That said, I still had to give you aa peace of my mind on your review. You did an absolute outstanding Job, bringing something Fresh to the beloved vintage, nostalgic, and most iconic of all Transformers, Optimus Prime. Well done. Great use of factual details and showcasing the entire bot, but mixed in with a great nack for comedic timing. "Like this... uhhh"
For anyone watching in 2024, MS released a deluxe version last year with paint, improved tolerances, die cast in the feet, and a jetpack as a bonus accessory. They also have other decos now.
This is the only one with a flat tail section and a show accurate truck overall, on top of that the engineering of the transformation is surprisingly smart. I’d honestly get this if I had the money, looks far better than any other G1 Optimus I’ve seen Jobby review.
As someone who owns the legends version of this, all I can say is that I love the thing. A few things are different, like the feet, the ears, and the matrix not falling out every time you transform it. However the legends version comes a trailer, the usual gun/energon axe, roller, replaceable hands to hold the accessories, and also the bits so you can recreate that time Starscream disguised as Optimus for some reason All of this for roughly ~80-90 USD, so if you don't mind legends scale figures, it's a very high recommendation
One nitpick... probably the reason why the energon axe won't go all the way in was because Jobby was trying to put it in UPSIDE DOWN. Other than that, this video has convinced me to preorder the EX 2023 version of the Light of Peace since I missed the original release.
I thought TE-01 was the endgame MP Prime but it just doesn’t have the possibility and I dislike the grey plastic on the waste and lack of thigh rotation. If they could do a v2 of this with😊 some diecast (would fix the smoke stacks from breaking) and add a little more paint it would be perfect. I’m still thinking to upgrade though. Great review as a always!
As someone who used to pretend to have a toy review channel i can say that filming the transformation sequence is AWEFUL so thank you for making it so clean
As amazing as all the articulation is, I think what sold me on this Optimus(-alike, must state for legal reasons) is the fact that the transformation isn't fucking ridiculous like MP-44's. It manages to look borderline perfect in both modes, has full articulation in just about every conceivable way, and the actual transformation even resembles the on-screen transformations so my immersion isn't fully ruined by having to splay the sides off the truck and feel like I'm goring Prime like it's a Michael Bay film.
This guy is my first G1 masterpiece Optimus and I’m really glad I got him at tf con this year. The smoke stacks were broken but luckily the guys at toy dojo were so chill.
6:50 Optimus doesn't do it very often, but when he really wants to assert dominance, he's not afraid to T-pose. 6:54 And when he needs a little more height to be *_EXTRA_* intimidating...
For anyone looking at this in 2024, Magic Square released the MS-02EX, which seems to be just a better version of this one. Judging from the pictures, they seem to have fixed the issue with the Energon Axe, made the Matrix of Leadership orange like it is in G1, and added Starscream's head and jet intakes as extra accessories, but I don't have one so take that with a grain of salt. They still haven't made a masterpiece scale Megatron though unfortunately.
@@hubertushostihayuanta8873 Is that the mini version of this? I haven't seen any coverage of that. Plus if it's the same design but small, I get it. It's the same thing
@@SpectrumAnalysis No. The mini version is always coded with the letter "B". The mini version of this one is MS-B46 Light of Victory. What I was talking about was MS-01 Light of Freedom (a previous release). Same size as this, already used the same grill for both modes, although it had a tad bit more complex transformation. And the mini version of that is MS-B18 Light of Justice. I rarely see MS-01 reviews. I guess it wasn't as popular as TE, which is a shame.
I have never genuinely been so astounded at a 3rd party MP Optimus til' now, the conversion was so simple for one. Honestly would love to see this at a Voyager scale, people would buy it in a heartbeat.
