When I watched the Bumblebee movie back in 2019 and when I saw Optimus doing the 1986 jump in the air from the '86 movie, I was amazed and every Studio Series Optimus Prime can do that pose is amazing. Love the review!
I grew up with the bayformers and I am quite attached to the designs, I can see why people don’t like it but it’s an interesting take on the transformers. I am a g1 fan but the bayformers hold a special place in my heart.
Same I grew up with the bayformers I admit I don’t like the last knight but I do like 1,2,3 and 4 they are awesome they will always have a place in my heart yes if you want to know I love g1 it’s amazing. I just hope that rise of beats will make a comeback for the transformers series I am confident it will though.
DUUUDE the transformation of this is absolutely AMAZING. Haven't bought a transformer in ages but if I manage to find that, I'm getting it. Holy, I'm mind blown how good this transforms
@@tristanwilliams4180 I'm agree with you. I can't understand people who don't like the battle damage of this figure. If it has everything that SS 38 Optimus doesn't have.
I love the mass-release version, but if I get the chance I'd love to pick this guy up as well! Its nice to have one for alt-mode and one in robot mode. Thanks for the great review!!!
Thank you for making this video! I was trying to collect all bumblee studio series figures, but seeing that optimus prime was the most expensive one, I was able to find the premium finish online for much cheaper. Thanks!
It's Good. I own the Mass released OP and wasn't planning on getting this one. Then I watch your review and now I have him ordered. I wanted A Live action G1 Optimus and this Guy hits all the right notes. Painted Yellow triangles, silver face plate, white striped truck... Now I need to find him a good Trailer
I love that mold. Would buy another one if I can find this premium finish version. It's a shame the TF Bumblebee movie didn't do well. That might be why it's hard to obtain the toys from it. I remember seeing the masterpiece bumblebee (from the movie) and not having money to buy it but now that I have it I can't find him anywhere in toys stores. Grrrr
I’m getting this figure because I missed the mass release and the mass release versions are all super inflated in price now. It looks like they improved the head mobility a bit on this one because some reviewers mentioned the mass release one not having up and down head articulation at all.
This "premium version" still lacks paint compared to the original pre order photos. The back thighs (gas tanks) are supposed to be silver, the inside of the forearms near the elbows are supposed to be painted. You'll notice the difference if you compare it from the photos.
Should I try to get this? I'm asking because I have the original SS-38, but one of his smokestacks broke in the middle. So should I try to get this? Edit: I didn't get my SS-38 recently I got it the year it came out for Christmas
I'm glad I found this chanel. I'm looking to start my Transformers collection and I enjoy your reviews and breakdowns. It really helps to better pick what I might want later down the road.
I've just ordered this from Ebay. I plan to do a little custom painting. Nothing serious, just some shading, giving some definition to the more plain pieces, maybe a little more weathering and chipping to "expose more metal" to show Prime's actually been thru a few billion years of war.
It's kinda crazy that the weathering is not done with dry brushing, but with some type of printing process (either slikscreening or tampoing). Also, I disagree with 7:36 , the 35th anniversary Optimus is meant to be G1-esque and not movie accurate, hence the brighter colors and cleaner paint apps.
Hey, are you going to upload at least one photo of the box? because that one has not been revealed not like the SS 1 premium Finis and wfc 01 premium Finish
Hey thank u for this review! I loved the cartoons as a kid. Didn’t translate much to toys growing up. But I think u have convinced me to finally pick this one up. Love Optimus Prime🙌🏽🙌🏽😜👌🏽
So personally I don’t think I really mind having the normal release over the premium finish. Lol but with that being said, which do you personally think looks better with the concept art Megatron?? I picked him up today and really want an Optimus for my shelf but don’t know for sure which one
It is a fantastic figure at voyager price point, but I wouldn't want to pay leader class price for the toy, unless I have some sort of discount that I have to use and this is the only toy applicable. Then I might change my mind. Edit: I just realized the side tank are supposed to be painted, at least it's there on the prototype. But no, we don't have enough budget despite us charging you 70% extra for the same figure.
Outstanding review! this one of the greatest Optimus figure ive ever seen and own! Its almost perfect, the lack of head swivel is a bummer, but thats my only gripe. It really feels great in hand and it poses wonderfully!!! Till all are One!
If it's the same plastic, I ain't buying it. Both the red and grey plastic on the first figure were so melty and bendy, they wouldn't hold a tab worth a shit and any part that could pop off, would. Getting it into truck mode was misery.
one thing i found out today i dont know if u know is that u can store his gun in truck mode by rasing the flaps underneith and having the gun fit in the middle
honestly my only real criticism is in the arms having the awkward door panel part on it, was surprised at how compact the chest was and no huge backpack either!!!
This comment was written in 2024. Gamestop recently re-released the mass release Optimus at retail price, and it is an AMAZING figure. I think that that's funny because now the premium finish ver. is pretty hard to find as well.
Lucky for me, i do not buy that main line Studio series Optimus Prime because the colouration at original version is not accurate at all ☹️, plus make the original version look like boring for me 😒. I wish, i can find this super cool premium version Optimus Prime at my country because the colouration at premium version lot better or i can say Ultra-awesome 😁. I like this Optimus Prime more than Netflix Optimus Prime, because Netflix Optimus Prime's characteristics so terrible, plus he looks like childish because he do not know how to make it a plan, so shame ☹️. I want my Optimus Prime was a great leader 😊 not stupid childish leader like Netflix Optimus prime 😠. Thank you for this video, PrimevsPrime 😄. Salam dari Malaysia 🇲🇾.
Whilst I don't really care for the bumblebee figures or G1 in general, I love that they are re-issuing a popular character- and with a better paint job. This opens new possibilities for another Ironhide and others :D
Many people seem to dislike the feet, but for me they are an easily acceptable trade-off. Less massive feet are easier to hide, and in this mold they don’t stick out in the truck mode at all. Clearly visible robot feet in truck modes have always greatly bugged me in G1-style Optimus Prime -figures.
I love this mold. I am very interested in seeing...and most likely buying, the Optimus from the new movie. I've grown to except and even like the Prime from the first movie but this design is superior. Michael Bay Transformers look like C3PO from the Phantom menace.
So basically, it's just the Aoyi Mech h6003-8 but official and with "battle damage". It still looks the best of all the premium finishes, though. Nice review PVP.
The blaster fits between the legs in truck mode making the drive train. Most people don't know this. I don't think it's in the instruction manual either.
I got the premium finish bumblebee and was pretty disappointed, which lowered my expectations for this optimus figure, but after watching this review I think I should get it as it looks a lot better.

Most of the Bayverse designs aren't good, but Optimus was perfect in my opinion. It was a perfect "realistic" take in my opinion!

DUUUDE the transformation of this is absolutely AMAZING. Haven't bought a transformer in ages but if I manage to find that, I'm getting it. Holy, I'm mind blown how good this transforms
On Amazon
I love the metallic finish but hate the battle damage. I wish there was a option for premium paint with no battle damage.
Agree
I love both.
Premium paint is basically battle damage. Or the other way around.
@@dexterdexter8208 well I would agree if I found the first one at a store are something

I missed this on original release and have it on pre-order here in NZ. This review confirms that I made the right choice.
Amazing! Glad you liked it!
I can't tell you how long I waited for this review and I will definitely be picking this up considering I wasn't able to get the 1st one

Its on pre order on big bad toy store its not on physical or online stores yet
And the toys were launched in 2018 with the movie and in bulk
I’m getting this figure because I missed the mass release and the mass release versions are all super inflated in price now. It looks like they improved the head mobility a bit on this one because some reviewers mentioned the mass release one not having up and down head articulation at all.
I think I like this premium version more than the original
Me too! Very vibrant!
Considering I didn’t get the first release, and I need a proper optimus in my BBMV collection, I think I’m picking this guy up
im getting this guy because i like the bumblebee movie design for him i am picking this optimus after christmas
you and emgo are my favorite reviewers for transformers. keep up the great work.
He looks amazing. Ima try to get him. He'll fit nicely with my Movie decpticons. Great PrimevsPrime.

if you have modding skills you can turn him into an evasion styled look because evasion prime also had 1 smoke stack
@@PrimeVsPrime I'll try to get it thanks for the recommendation
@@orhandalegend I could also try to do that, but I would have to like buy 2 one for the OG, and one just to do that
This Prime design is so good almost every figure is good
Ikr?! Especially Threezero!
Can't wait to see Megatron! I hope he is not going be the same lame o tank. An assault helicopter like he's animated series would be great!!
Thanks! But seriously, the tank thing is get old! Great review!👍
Thanks for your reply!👍

I own this figure and I do not need the Masterpiece version. So so happy I have this guy.
Prime vs prime late on a review again but love ur post mate keep up with the content
Thanks so much!
PvP i recently bought this figure and had a hard time transforming it but then i went to you and this video means a lot thx PvP ❤

Fair enough man! I completely get where you’re coming from in regards to the 35th prime! My bad!
Hey, are you going to upload at least one photo of the box? because that one has not been revealed not like the SS 1 premium Finis and wfc 01 premium Finish
My first ever favorite and best Optimus Prime/Autobots/Transformers Action Figure ever. Best of both worlds Live-Action and Animated.
Hey thank u for this review! I loved the cartoons as a kid. Didn’t translate much to toys growing up. But I think u have convinced me to finally pick this one up. Love Optimus Prime🙌🏽🙌🏽😜👌🏽
Hey any uk sites that are selling the premium finish of this prime?
Tell me Why the front of the truck mode resembles the evasion mode from the movie More than the evasion mode toy
You could probably switch the shoulder pieces so you get the gunmetal detailing in them idk if the exterior red matches tho
I need to add this to my collection thanks for the review PrimevsPrime
Thank you for watching! :)
@@PrimeVsPrime welcome PrimevsPrime
Can the DOTM Trailer fit on this truck mode?
Anyone know if I can use the SS Bayverse Prime blades on his hands?
Much as I hate Studio Series figures, I have to admit this one is lovely. Vibrant colours and that truck mode....gorgeous!
you... hate... studio... series?!
@@chriscarpenter3370 Yeah I'm wondering why he hates Studio Series.
I've got the original SS-38 Optimus and MPM-12. Won't be chasing after this new version just for slightly more G1 paint
So personally I don’t think I really mind having the normal release over the premium finish. Lol but with that being said, which do you personally think looks better with the concept art Megatron?? I picked him up today and really want an Optimus for my shelf but don’t know for sure which one
Still really wish they could've molded the side windows in the same trans-blue plastic they used for the windshield.
That would’ve been nice for sure!
It looks the same but different with the color
You’re right haha
It is a fantastic figure at voyager price point, but I wouldn't want to pay leader class price for the toy, unless I have some sort of discount that I have to use and this is the only toy applicable. Then I might change my mind.
Edit: I just realized the side tank are supposed to be painted, at least it's there on the prototype. But no, we don't have enough budget despite us charging you 70% extra for the same figure.
Yeah I noticed actually there are a few inconsistencies between this & the prototype :( it’s a shame
I pre-ordered him off of big bad toy store a few weeks ago, and I’m so exited for it to show up
why are there circles on is shoulders. when they should be 2 lines?
Outstanding review! this one of the greatest Optimus figure ive ever seen and own! Its almost perfect, the lack of head swivel is a bummer, but thats my only gripe. It really feels great in hand and it poses wonderfully!!! Till all are One!
Nice review!!! The mass release works enough for me, I will just stick with it
Thank you! & fair enough! Any version of this is a great version!
If it's the same plastic, I ain't buying it. Both the red and grey plastic on the first figure were so melty and bendy, they wouldn't hold a tab worth a shit and any part that could pop off, would. Getting it into truck mode was misery.
Now this…this is Optimus Prime
I remember like two months ago at a game stop seeing that they were soon going to have him there
one thing i found out today i dont know if u know is that u can store his gun in truck mode by rasing the flaps underneith and having the gun fit in the middle
Ohhh that’s a very cool idea! Thanks for letting me know :)
Can't wait for mine as it's expected to arrive tomorrow. Then Reboost is expected to ship soon so I'm very happy.
This figure looks gorgeous! Fantastic review as always PvP!
Thanks so much!
The engineering on the Live Action movie lines have always been so much better compared to the Neo-GeeWun lines like Legacy, PoTP, Titans Return, erc
We need a Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime 2.0 mold in the works.
That would be cool!
Great video! What’s the name of the intro music? Or is it just custom intro audio?
honestly my only real criticism is in the arms having the awkward door panel part on it, was surprised at how compact the chest was and no huge backpack either!!!

" good luck soldier I'll buy you some time ".
It actually look great & close to G1 design.
The truck mainly the grille and the whole front reminds me of Age of Extinction Evasion Mode Optimus Prime
Is it expensive because I never got the chance to get that Optimus prime studio series ??
It's gonna be like. $45.

It's great to see this mold get reused again
You make it look so easy. Every time I look at mine the wrong way a tab pops out of place.
Thank you for the review of this Optimus figure. I'm thinking to get it. What is the name of the music you used in the introduction of the video?
Only problem is still the legs on this mold
Yeah the colors here look WAY better. Definitely getting this. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching!
You should review the KO Nemesis Prime version of this body because it looks like it was made for that mold!
Will I possibly buy the this and occasionally head swap it with the Bay Prime….maybe.
If I ever find this figure.
Ooooo that’s a cool idea!
i have watched bumblebee and i loved it it brings g1 back again
Yeah me too my father really loved
Whilst I don't really care for the bumblebee figures or G1 in general, I love that they are re-issuing a popular character- and with a better paint job. This opens new possibilities for another Ironhide and others :D
will you get siege springer
Looks Fantastic! Question tho, will the premium line appear on store shelves or will it only be an online release
Ikr?! Just online I believe
"Autobots fallback get to the tower".
I don't think it's drybrushing, it looks like the printing that Hasbro uses on Marvel Legends.
Yes very true!

I just bought this one a few hours from someone for $57. Can’t wait.
"Where's B-127".
So basically, it's just the Aoyi Mech h6003-8 but official and with "battle damage". It still looks the best of all the premium finishes, though. Nice review PVP.
Haha thank you :)
When is the last 4 toys supposed to be revealed. Wheljack Jetfire shockwave and another prime I think?
So basically it's Siege Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime. Lol
The blaster fits between the legs in truck mode making the drive train. Most people don't know this. I don't think it's in the instruction manual either.
Looks almost improved, but they made that abdominal area an eyesore by using red plastic instead of reusing the grey/black plastic on the original
that's more accurate to his look in bumblebee
So when is this one going to be available or is it already out?
Hey pvp, SS44 or SS38?
SS38 :)
The paint was awesome in PF bumblebee also Optimus prime
The approvement on this figure is astonishing!
I agree! He looks so bad ass!
