    I almost feel sorry for Ultra Magnus..... he went from being "The Rightful King of Cybertron" to basically being an upgrade pack to the ACTUAL King of Cybertron

    Idk if you’ll see this Bert, but I have to say because of this review I bought this figure and I absolutely adore it. It opened up a new door for me in terms of RiD 2001 and the Unicron Trilogy, I only have to get Skybite and Scourge to complete my RiD 2001 Collection. So thanks Bert, you helped me stay out of trouble by finding another toylike to collect and for that I’ll always thank you and respect you

    I just realized that this guy's articulation is actually as good, if not, better than most modern toys.
    Also, you can store the gun on the underside of the fire truck mode's front, it enables the "cab" to roll independently.

      That wasn’t a knockoff, that would’ve been Universe Optimus Prime. It was an official redeco of this toy in yellow. The two of the same hand thing was probably just a QC issue

    It's funny how, looking at this review today, of a figure that is what, almost 20 years old? and seeing some of the same engineering still being used in the current Siege line, namely the Ultra Magnus figure and later the Galaxy Prime.

  • @StrikeFreedom78
    @StrikeFreedom78 7 лет назад +5

    I still have this version of Optimus Prime when I first bought it at Walt Disney World Orlando Magic Kingdom in 2002 during my 8th Grade Graduation Trip. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it since I also watched the original Transformers Robots In Disguise 2001 anime series (also known as Transformers Car Robots in Japan and this version of Optimus is called Fire Convoy). I too grew up with the Generation 1 Optimus Prime through watching Generation 2 as a child in the early 90s and I was thoroughly impressed as to the many variations he was introduced in the later series to follow afterwards. You, my friend, are a truly dedicated Transformers collector! Till All Are One!

    Hey, Bert. Finally got my RiD Optimus. Absolutely love this guy. But Omega Prime is where its at! He's big and chunky and massive!
    But that Optimus really is one of the best figures I've ever had. Sadly, mine has massive chrome wear on his chest, but since I usually have him in either Super Mode or as Omega Prime.
    I got him as a bday present on December 7th. I have to find what kind of batteries he uses, as his are dead. Luckily, Ultra Magnus' batteries are still going strong.
    Now I'm looking for the yellow version of Prime for normal mode display.

  • @Bobtimus_Rock
    @Bobtimus_Rock 4 года назад +5

    Hi Bert, always love your reviews, I never had this particular figure growing up... I had the universe recolor yellow version. Love this Optimus the most out of all of them, I felt this was the cleanest "solid truck mode" (Armada felt chunky, energon was a box, and cybertron felt too alien for a firetruck) One thing you never mentioned, and I had not checked the comments, is that in his truck mode, his gun slides under the very front to act as a wheel for weapon storage. I picked up RID Optimus and Ultra Magnus a year back, and I fell in love with the figure(s) all over again. Keep on reviewing! Cheers

    • @BertTheStormtrooper
      @BertTheStormtrooper  4 года назад +1

    My god, I got this guy and Magnus yesterday and just..... wow. I can see why these two are held in such high regard. I honestly am done with Optimus Prime figures moving forward, cause there's..... literally nothing that can top this duo. (Though MP10 is close, I do love the heck out of him)

  • @stevenjordan3839
    @stevenjordan3839 5 лет назад +2

    +Bert The Stormtrooper, the precise fire truck he is is a Hino brandier.
    Subtle differences between hasbro's and takara's versions include their tires, hasbro's are weaker due to the rubber tires having a tendency to split down the molding connectors, Takara's are more durable in the craftsmanship of the tires (where he can be driven a lot without fray on the rubber)
    Both ladders have their firing mechanisms performed differently, when you press on the Takara ladder it will cause all missiles to automatically flip up into firing position and they can fire/move all by themselves.
    Hasbro's ladder has them all on individual triggers and they each have to perform an action on their own.

      RID2001 was adapted (loosly) from the Japanese Transformers anime _Car Robots._ In Japan it was set in the G1 continuity and followed Fire Convoy as he battled Gigatron, it took pace in the present day of the year 2000. When it was brought over for the US as a filler series, it was made it's own universe.

    As cool as this figure is, I think ALL the other diesel-mode versions can roll WITHOUT his trailer. I wonder if some1 can stop-motion him with the dilemma of him "not being able to fully drive off 'cuz they took the trailer"...lol.
    BUT, what you were explaining about the ONE BIG HAND is the show was that he used it as a "Power Punch", I believe. He also in the very 1st episode used the "Rocket Punch" feature as it was launched from the trailer itself. ALSO, while battling Ultra Magnus for the Matrix, Prime had to recharge in exile; so, the gun tower doubled as a sort-of "recharge throne".

  • @josiaharaki7310
    @josiaharaki7310 8 месяцев назад

    With the Haslab version of this guy, I believe that is most main versions of Optimus Prime in some form between WFC and Legacy.
    Siege: Cybertron (which sucked)
    Legacy: G2
    Legacy Evo: Armada
    Legacy Uni: Animated, RiD
    SS86:G1
    I believe the only major incarnations missing are Energon and Prime. I'd love for Cybertron to get another go, and/or for the sideswipe mold to be officially retooled into G2 gobots Optimus rather than just being a toyhax conversion, but, I digress.
    Given that there is supposedly a deluxe Optimus coming out in Legacy Uni that isn't accounted for, perhaps it will be an Energon Optimus who can combine with core class limbs or a core class wingsaber for super-mode.
    Edit: We are also missing a modern version of Powermaster and Star Convoy, but at this point,we might be better off waiting and praying for them to be haslabs.

      p.s : i've watched the vid again and yes they split hmmmm..

    • @BertTheStormtrooper
      @BertTheStormtrooper  9 лет назад

      Izzat Hamidon Yes, sadly, they do. I bought mine new when it first came out. It has been shelf kept, in robot mode, in my collection room all it's life and they are beginning to split. Imagine my surprise and disappointment to find that mine, while the tires haven't yet split, are beginning to crack. I recently bought a second one to display in Omega Prime mode that came with split tires. I was able to very carefully, super glue them back together at the splits, then I heated them to soften them up and put them back on the truck. It worked! And they are still holding!
      So when you're looking for one, look for minimal damage on the tires so you can at least fix them on your end.
      Hope that helps!
