Kairo Riley your telling me you would rather have a new special thing that directly relates to the figure rather than a piece of RUBBER? You sir, ARE MAD!!!
+Stix N' Stones It's literally the tiniest fraction though, I mean you could literally drop a piece like this and never find it again. I don't mind a small piece but it's really taking the piss when it's *this* small, it feels really extortionate.
It's amazing how much a slight paint job can change a Transformer like that, I'm a big fan of the silver wheels instead of the black wheels, the retail version should have at least the silver wheels (unless you do it yourself at home, not really hard to do really), but in robot mode, it looks very nice, just a few changes in the paint application helps a lot for the look of Prime, really does make a difference, no matter how small the changes are. Cool review, Paul!
I went to the Sunday SDCC and the first thing I did when I walked in the door I rushed to the HasbroToyShop booth to get that toy. It took about 4 to 5 minutes to wait in line and buy the figure and there was plenty of them on display. This figure is totally worth buying.
I understand the reason for the price. I just personally will not be buying it. Plus I still have AOE Leader Class Optimus Prime that I custom painted up myself.
Or you can wait for Alien Attack's El Cid, Unique Toys' Challenger, and Toyworld's Knight Orion, their takes on AOE/TLK Optimus Prime. Emgo reviewed El Cid and Challenger, but before you pick those figures up, you better watch his video reviews of these figures. Emgo's Alien Attack El CID Review: ruclips.net/video/EVgUqVpkssU/видео.html Emgo's Unique Toys Challenger Review ruclips.net/video/eFy0GaC0KEM/видео.html
The reason for the package being ruined when opened probably is to establish value on the seal and to prevent people from removing the figure and resealing it. Just a theory, but that makes the most sense to me.
I like how hasbro put a little effort into this voyager and not give a fuck about the leader class as takara did with the armour knight and the follow up calibur.
Ooo I'm stoked to hear that this is available on hasbro toy shop, eBay prices for this guy were around $100, I wasn't exactly happy about that price but I'm easily willing to pay the $50 for this figure figure, even if it is double the price of the normal figure
Holy crap this version is a million times better! I got the original the day it got released and the lackluster paint job always bothered me. I would love to have this version, but not willing to drop the money when there's other figures I want. Damn do I wish they had the original look like this
There are still some areas where the paint can be inproved, what's the possibility of an even MORE improved version? The sword could be done in silver, more paint apps etc
Honestly if Hasbro wanted huge sales, this should have been released as normal retail instead of the one we did get. Well what can you do now? Better to paint up the voyager in stores. Still a nice figure at least but come on Hasbro.
I added paint apps to my standard Optimus and the sword and shield still looks better, but I understand why they didnt go the extra mile with the sword though.
The thing for me is that I don’t want to spend 50 bucks for the same figure, I would instead just paint the original figure but overall this figure is much better.
I would really like optimus to be a cybertronian jet similar to megatron, just to see how well he's toy could turn out. Maybe in the cybertron prequel?
I ended up paying more for mine since I got mine on eBay Kind of wish I had waited but I'm still happy I got this as well so I have one for reference for the retail one I'm customizing
jangofett23 why the fuck would you buy something on ebay, of course it's going to be more the person bought and is trying to get budget. You just fed him/her
Even if I think having an actual piece of the movie... I think a piece of tire is stupid. More when the exclusive should have ben the normal one, maybe adding more accesories or the "evil" version repaint... Anyways, I have the retail one and my friend sharpie helped me improving him..
The shipping cost for it to Canada is absolutely stupid. $32 usd, that's about $45 cad. I want it so bad, but not bad enough to spend that ridiculous shipping cost.
Huh...judging by the paint apps in robot mode, thought it was from Takara....guess not. Coming from SDCC on the other hand, this figure looks pretty good, kinda wanna see this if/when I can & see it.
I'm sorry, but the SDCC Optimus technically costs cheaper than the standard Voyager class figures they had back in the first movie and dotm in terms of quality. They don't have any valid excuse to not get the paint right in the first place besides some marketing ploy where they make you pay extra for an accurate paint job while they purposely made the retail version look like it was painted by a kindergartner. Hasbro really stooped down in their business practices and AOE is proof of that and so is this figure. But hey, money is money at the end of the day. Not like they care at all what we want as long as we're feeding their mouths.
Piccolo, I think what is that back the transformers were stupid easy to transformers with hardly any steps so the budget probably went to the size and paint unlike today it's the opposite excluding the aoe line luckily now we have studios series
Well shite, now I regret not picking this up at HK's equivalent of Comic Con XD Man I thought the price was just cuz of that piece of tire, I never got to see the figure itself transformed, and compared to the standard Hasbro release is really does just look so much better ;w; Even the packaging is lesser than the standard Hasbro release which is better for you if you keep boxes....dammit....
I saw a guy trying to sell this for a dollar the box was opened and destroyed but he put it back together. I wonder why the box was the destroyed until I saw Optimus shield was the blue color
I'd rather buy this than the original, because one: you could fuck up and mess up with the paint job and two: the paint where I live If FuCkInG expensive!!
My one problem with all the Optimus prime toys: they never add the goddamn knight arms! I always thought it looks cool but they never added them and it's pissing me off cause he had it for the past 2 movies and had it the full fifth movie! And I know about the knight armour leader class caliber op. But I don't want to buy it from eBay or amazon I'll just wait till bbts has them
So... just a piece of a rubber? They just took the "Optimus Prime" truck like a piece of ham with a slightly better repaint. I call that Bullshit, machiavellianly attractive selling point, but still, bullshit.
+Kagehn okay well I just ordered it from TAIWAN and it usually takes like a month to show up. So sorry everyone....no new reviews for a month cause I gotta review Crosshairs next :p

optibotimus do you have a spare SDCC OPTIMUS PRIME 2017 I NEED ONE PLS
optibotimus A tire peace really really...AWESOME!!! #Wave3BummbleBee
+Andrei Balajadia you can buy one yourself
Andrei Balajadia There is something called money oh wait there's also called stop being a lazy person and buy it yourself
optibotimus and
$50 for a transformer and a piece of rubber…sure, why not.
Ain't that pathetic?
Ye just take my money
Wtf u could get a KO masterpiece Thundercracker just for 40$.Hasbro is lame AF
Nowadays that price doesn't seem too bad
Supposed to be sleeping but Optibotimus is more important
Dragon slayer club productions Llaguno 😂 youre absolutely right
Nathan Drake same here bro
Yea
Doctor: you have 21:00 left to live
me:
It feels like they are just trying to make us cashing in for the exact same figure just more accurate paint
DEATHSTROKE out of everything they could have given you like oh idk a new sword add on or something they give u a piece of rubber
Kairo Riley your telling me you would rather have a new special thing that directly relates to the figure rather than a piece of RUBBER? You sir, ARE MAD!!!
Stix N' Stones no. If it was a piece of primes mask then it would be cool
+Stix N' Stones It's literally the tiniest fraction though, I mean you could literally drop a piece like this and never find it again. I don't mind a small piece but it's really taking the piss when it's *this* small, it feels really extortionate.
you figured that out alone or you needed help? Seriously Deathstroke, you are a better shot than that, usually ;)
They should have used the rubber from the tire to make real rubber tires for these figures.
I agree
It's amazing how much a slight paint job can change a Transformer like that, I'm a big fan of the silver wheels instead of the black wheels, the retail version should have at least the silver wheels (unless you do it yourself at home, not really hard to do really), but in robot mode, it looks very nice, just a few changes in the paint application helps a lot for the look of Prime, really does make a difference, no matter how small the changes are. Cool review, Paul!
It's pathetic that they're putting out more detailed figures for conventions. That's pure laziness.
I get your profile pic 😉
The Crimson Comet, or its budget, Hasbro also has to make, nerf, my little pony, marvel legends, and starwars the black series.
It’s not even that detailed it’s just a repaint I mean they could have put the knight arms for this one but no just a repaint
@@RyanFlores_ and now Power Rangers
I don't have the original voyager Optimus, so I ordered this one. More accurate to the movie.
I don't have the original voyager, so I ordered the Unique Toys release because it's actually good and doesn't suck like any of the official releases
And it's more accurate to AoE and if you search up "transformers age of extinction 5 pack" they are accurate too.
You made a wise choice
Me too
17:12 OPTIBOTIMUS! DEAR LORD! THE CHILDREN YOU JUST FLASHED...
XD
MY EYES !! (and also wheres his robo junk)
I went to the Sunday SDCC and the first thing I did when I walked in the door I rushed to the HasbroToyShop booth to get that toy. It took about 4 to 5 minutes to wait in line and buy the figure and there was plenty of them on display.
This figure is totally worth buying.
@optibotimus I really admire the way you review your figures and I have to figure out how to get this version of Optimus. I applaud you good sir.
They improved the paint but they could have changed the grey to silver and make the eyes glow like light pipeing
Meh I don't rlly like glowing eyes cuz over time you might not use and the battery is a complete waste
When you realize that you're holding Optimus' dead skin cells...
+Warren Mingrajal oh now you made it weird lol
It was already weird from the get-go. I just pointed it out. Hehe...
Warren Mingrajal whadda ya mean
I don't get it
Look I love all things Transformers and probably wasted money on less dumb things, but I'm not one who is going to spend $50 to get a piece of tire.
+Brett H. Yeah but see...a voyager figure runs 25-30 bucks. The packaging is unique and exclusive. Plus the tire piece. That's bonus imo
I understand the reason for the price. I just personally will not be buying it. Plus I still have AOE Leader Class Optimus Prime that I custom painted up myself.
Reminds me of the simpsons episode where the doll got a new hat.
I'm right there with you kinda good price but a lot of wasted cardboard for packaging
unless your a little dumb spoiled fucked kid...
I was amazed by the packaging. Nice detail of the tire tracking marks, the shape, the printing... you name it.
No, thanks, Hasbro, I'll still just wait for the upsized version from Wei Jiang.
Or you can wait for Alien Attack's El Cid, Unique Toys' Challenger, and Toyworld's Knight Orion, their takes on AOE/TLK Optimus Prime. Emgo reviewed El Cid and Challenger, but before you pick those figures up, you better watch his video reviews of these figures.

SDCC was paying attention to BuildersTV
Man. I wished this was the retail Voyager Prime...
9:30 the toy review actually starts
As nice as the SDCC exclusive is, it's just not worth $50. Personally, I think the SDCC version is what we should have gotten at retail.
So they chopped up Optimus and sold him?
Duh, they didn't. Optibotimus said that they chopped the tires.
Yixia Li i suppose you didnt get the joke huh xD
Well, they kind of chopped up optimus.
His ALT mode.
YixiaGaming138 ha- I- you didn’t get-
*r/woosh*
On the packaging you should've tried to cut all the tape around the box, and bend the clear plastic forward
was thinking the same...when he folded it to the side, only the front bit was glued it seemed.
Wow, this one looks so much better! I wish it was the retail version so I would have this one instead of the original xzd
No. THIS is how it should have been in retail.
SDCC 2017 Exclusive aka what Hasbro should've done from the get-go smh
Its the same figure just repainted and i have to say the san diego comic con exclusive one looks way better.
The reason for the package being ruined when opened probably is to establish value on the seal and to prevent people from removing the figure and resealing it. Just a theory, but that makes the most sense to me.
xPLAYn you're right, the toy is not meant to be taken out but for display only as like a collection or something
Fantastic mold, but I dunno if the extra paint and a piece of rubber justify the price.
His paint is so much better!!
I hope that this version of TLK Optimus Prime receives a general retail release.
I might just wait for a TLK OP movie masterpiece version instead of this one
... when it comes out :p
9 months later probably not making a master piece but there is still hope
Wish the sdcc had the red mark that is Nemis prime
For some reason I feel like the sdcc should have been the retail and the actual retail toy is a ko
This is me with that piece of ruber
Thrown away oh 15 MINS OF COMPLAN IF I GOT THIS I WOULD LITERLY CRY!!
You have a awesome video and toys review thank you for review my favorite Autobot Optimus Prime is so awesome thanks again Optibotimus.

Great looking figure! 👌
I like how hasbro put a little effort into this voyager and not give a fuck about the leader class as takara did with the armour knight and the follow up calibur.
Ooo I'm stoked to hear that this is available on hasbro toy shop, eBay prices for this guy were around $100, I wasn't exactly happy about that price but I'm easily willing to pay the $50 for this figure figure, even if it is double the price of the normal figure
The cybertronian at the bottom of the box says: "We must never tire in the fight for freedom"
im pretty sure after the set they destroyed the truck tire and gave it to people who will buy it and lucky i got one of those too!
Holy crap this version is a million times better! I got the original the day it got released and the lackluster paint job always bothered me. I would love to have this version, but not willing to drop the money when there's other figures I want.
Damn do I wish they had the original look like this
You're really tempting me to buy this optibotimus after buying the original FOR THE SECOND TIME.
i still really want this figure
If you ask me, this should have been the wave 1 prime.
Westley Cathcart yeah their our already
Only if you live in fort Myers
There are still some areas where the paint can be inproved, what's the possibility of an even MORE improved version? The sword could be done in silver, more paint apps etc
Honestly if Hasbro wanted huge sales, this should have been released as normal retail instead of the one we did get. Well what can you do now? Better to paint up the voyager in stores. Still a nice figure at least but come on Hasbro.
So if I buy that on Hasbro toy shop right now I can get a tire piece!!!
I added paint apps to my standard Optimus and the sword and shield still looks better, but I understand why they didnt go the extra mile with the sword though.
I think out of all the Optimus Prime modes I like the age of Extinction Slash tlk leader class mold looks cool to me
Wheres the Wave 3: Cross Hairs, Bumblebee, Straf, And Cogman?
+VaultPlayZz not here
Ok... but i know where to buy them
www.toyco.co.nz/toys/transformers/movie-5
VaultPlayZz its already available in Singapore well only a view at least
DEATHSTROKE You're right, i got Crosshairs in Singapore.
AUGUST 28 MY BRO
I was watching mp 18 silverstreak and the i got the amazing notification
The thing for me is that I don’t want to spend 50 bucks for the same figure, I would instead just paint the original figure but overall this figure is much better.
Nicely updated and improvement figure👍.
so an officially licensed takara tomy figure with movie accurate and detailed paint on a voyager figure is POSSIBLE??
WHEN YOU'RE PUT TO THE TEST AND ITS NEVERRRR ENOUGH!
He was put to the test with a piece of Optimus prime, and his ability to resist wasn't enough
theres a little bit of paint sploshed on the autobot insignia/logo
I would really like optimus to be a cybertronian jet similar to megatron, just to see how well he's toy could turn out. Maybe in the cybertron prequel?
Heck, he doesn't even need a new robot mode. A sky chase between optimus and megatron would be awesome
Optimus was never a jet and never ever should be. Leave the jets to the Aerialbots, The Seekers and Megatron.
this looks sooooooo cool
The blue paint in the middle of the grille is supposed to be there. The actual movie vehicle has it as well.
I liked the video because I thought the original was poor quality but a little paint goes a long way
Great review like always!
I ended up paying more for mine since I got mine on eBay
Kind of wish I had waited but I'm still happy I got this as well so I have one for reference for the retail one I'm customizing
jangofett23 why the fuck would you buy something on ebay, of course it's going to be more the person bought and is trying to get budget. You just fed him/her
Blasty so what if I did? I got what I wanted so what difference does it make? Yeah I didn't wanna pay more but I was fine with it
Even if I think having an actual piece of the movie... I think a piece of tire is stupid. More when the exclusive should have ben the normal one, maybe adding more accesories or the "evil" version repaint...
Anyways, I have the retail one and my friend sharpie helped me improving him..
in amazon.com you can buy the takara version its has way more paint than the original and sdcc
eds dio for 375 bucks? No way
All the silver crap on this I painted onto my personal version of the 'Premier edition', including the smokestacks
I think the sdcc one is more screen accurate than the original release
The shipping cost for it to Canada is absolutely stupid. $32 usd, that's about $45 cad. I want it so bad, but not bad enough to spend that ridiculous shipping cost.
It'd be nice if they put that much attention to detail and paint on their original figures
A random piece of rubber as a collectible item. Wtf.
Some dude who is brave enough to comment hahaha!
Huh...judging by the paint apps in robot mode, thought it was from Takara....guess not. Coming from SDCC on the other hand, this figure looks pretty good, kinda wanna see this if/when I can & see it.
G1 Smokescreen The Takara The Last Knight figures are the exact same as the Hasbro versions.
I had to paint his collar bones silver to look accurate
I'm sorry, but the SDCC Optimus technically costs cheaper than the standard Voyager class figures they had back in the first movie and dotm in terms of quality. They don't have any valid excuse to not get the paint right in the first place besides some marketing ploy where they make you pay extra for an accurate paint job while they purposely made the retail version look like it was painted by a kindergartner.

Piccolo, I think what is that back the transformers were stupid easy to transformers with hardly any steps so the budget probably went to the size and paint unlike today it's the opposite excluding the aoe line luckily now we have studios series
It will be good if they change the colour of eyes.
This Optimus prime is way better than the original toy,
If only there was a AOE voyager of this. It would be even better.
British people can get this on kapowtoys...
Well shite, now I regret not picking this up at HK's equivalent of Comic Con XD Man I thought the price was just cuz of that piece of tire, I never got to see the figure itself transformed, and compared to the standard Hasbro release is really does just look so much better ;w; Even the packaging is lesser than the standard Hasbro release which is better for you if you keep boxes....dammit....
Anyone exited for the bumblebee movie?
I wish they gave u a piece of the truck and not just the tire
I saw a guy trying to sell this for a dollar the box was opened and destroyed but he put it back together. I wonder why the box was the destroyed until I saw Optimus shield was the blue color
Another figure I may never be able to have because I can't afford it
$50 for a fancy package, slight repaint and small piece of tire. Wot.
Next transformers movie Optimus prime will have no tread on his tires
This fits the AoE 5 pack
cool optimus you got optibotumus
I wish i could get this figure this looks awsome!
Why the heck was this not the proper figure? I know it’s just a repaint but it actually looks like the movie.
People, please stop asking Optibotimus where some reviews are, he'll get them when he can ok?
+VikingsBlade247 it's not like I don't review just about everything that does come out lol
+optibotimus yeah. I was really surprised when you had the TLK Hot Rod and Nitro Zeus reviews.
Hey optibotimus are going to use the tf5 scores for your intro and outro?
+II TMTLEADER II I can't find one I really like sadly
Cogman isnt out yet?
Kenny Wiratrijaka he's the last figure he's wave 4
The whole line is out in Hong Kong and manilla
fc203 wait I thought it was only 3 waves
@Mr. Cheez-it It might as well have been, Cogman is the only new figure in Wave 4.
Kenny Wiratrijaka cogman should be cause wave three is out
What about the retail one? What are you gonna do with it?
I'd rather buy this than the original, because one: you could fuck up and mess up with the paint job and two: the paint where I live If FuCkInG expensive!!
How did they miss the flames on his shoulder pads smh.
My one problem with all the Optimus prime toys: they never add the goddamn knight arms! I always thought it looks cool but they never added them and it's pissing me off cause he had it for the past 2 movies and had it the full fifth movie! And I know about the knight armour leader class caliber op. But I don't want to buy it from eBay or amazon I'll just wait till bbts has them
If I sell a painted version of the voyager Optimus prime it would be 39.99 dollar
WOW is it still on stock? cause i can't find it in SINGAPORE yet..
i swear it was all of the tire peices that disliked
Would you be willing to sell your original voyager then?
So... just a piece of a rubber? They just took the "Optimus Prime" truck like a piece of ham with a slightly better repaint. I call that Bullshit, machiavellianly attractive selling point, but still, bullshit.
Hey optibotimis can u review crosshairs next hes my favorite character thx keep up da good work :)
+Kagehn okay well I just ordered it from TAIWAN and it usually takes like a month to show up. So sorry everyone....no new reviews for a month cause I gotta review Crosshairs next :p
