Man I was watching ninjago when it fist came out and kept up with all the series seasons and coming from a season that was mostly Cole centered it was a big shock and no he wasn’t my favourite character he was still a part of the main group and you can’t the ninja with out Cole unless they find some way to get a new voice actor but it just won’t seem right
what an awesome toy, I still remember going to toy stores and looking at this guy and the leader megs and wishing I could get them. I'm always happy to see new reviews of this era of toys, it's interesting to see how they hold up in terms of today's standards (and it helps to have more thourough, modern quality reviews of them for reference)
@@DrLockdown i know you can probably only handle so much praise at a time, but JESUS FUCK i really liked your review of weijiang thunder leader, it was so well paced and well done i barely felt the time go by
I think that the reason the 2007 Leader Class Optimus Prime didn't end up like the Revenge of The Fallen Optimus Prime is because Hasbro was most likely using just the concept art. Most if not all of the 2007 figures have the year 2006 on them. Meaning that Hasbro weren't able to see the finished CGI model and how Optimus Prime transformed.
Man I hear that! I got this figure when I was 9 years old and it was absolutely amazing! Then my brother had to go and forcefully pull off the dang back panels and smash the chest in 😤 to this day I’m still pretty peeved about it
never was able to pick this guy up as a kid in 09, yet I have fond memories of needing this figure just for the Energon blades alone! thanks to the Forest Battle for hooking me on those blades
Glad i got this as both a christmas present and a Hand-Me-Down from my cousin to boot and i am glad i got him as well as the underrated IMO Leader class ROTF Megatron and I think he is kind of better than the Studio series one, the SS one is 70 bucks on amazon now and the size of the OG figure just brings me joy to handle and the ratchet joints are OH SO GOOD after all these years
I know a lot of people don't care for it, but I still miss the days when Leader Class figures came with lights and sounds. It just made the feel that much more.... extra. The HFTD Leader Starscream still stands as one of my all time favorite figures, even compared to the MPM Starscream (Though to be fair, the MPM does have some compromises compared to the Leader, but that robot mode is pristine). I just wish the Leader Screamer had been given real voice clips like this figure has, rather than clearly not the VA like we got. Also holy cow this figure is awesome, and I might need to hunt it down.
Its a shame inflation and rising oil prices are a thing. Fortunately the new commander class has the same chunk factor as the old leaders, minus the gimmicks.
I keep getting this comment, but every time I go to look for it I can never find it. Now I'm getting confused as to whether I'm stupid or being gaslit...
what I love the most about this era is that they didn't focus on robot mode accuracy but in vehicle and TRANSFORMATION accuracy. having a robot that actually transformed, with vehicle parts making the robot is so satisfying and something we kinda lost with the turn inside out faux parts transformations nowadays.
I’m casually transforming my Black Apple MPM Optimus while I watch this, and when I heard that you have a “bittersweet review” planned for next week involving an Optimus, I looked down at BA Optimus and thought “RIP” lmao
I just bought the MB-11 Optimus Prime for $138 on Ebay. I got an MPM Oversize DOTM Prime but that is unfortunately not the easiest thing to place with. But fortunately for me, I'll be getting my first Leader Prime soon.
Still grateful that I got this guy in my first set of transformers during a childhood Christmas. Looking back, I got no idea how my mom managed to afford this leader figure back then but it's one of the best figures I own.
“And as such, I think next week we have a bittersweet way to celebrating such. It’s the end of an era and this particular video is but a prelude, so see you next week and I’ll see you all for some pain...” Oh boy, this next video is going to be a big deal 👀
Much as I don't like the movie design for Optimus, this figure is surprisingly accurate while having a conversion that isn't a total pain in the butt. I'd argue that it's more accurate than the mpm version of Optimus Prime. Still doesn't really intrest me, but still, the engineering is pretty solid.
@@DrLockdown yeah i know, but the Armada hot shot Fans will be more devistated, i am more the guy who looks to other people and try to help them before me
I still cannot find enjoyment for modern reeditions of Bayverse Optimus, as none was able to capture his movie presence as perfectly as the original ROTF mold..
This is still the prize off my collection. I remember being confused when looking it up for the first time, as my version is the battlehook one rather than the blade one. Nonetheless, it's still a nice display piece, although the right shoulder pad is broken from a nasty fall a while back. Nice review!
This is still...my favorite optimus prime figure, my only issue I had as a kid...was his blades when turning him back to truck mode. They kept popping out. This figure, earthrise, evasion mode and ss 44 are my absolute favorite primes! Also...tfp first edition optimus prime...the 3rd party version.
I unfortunately never owned this guy, but I remember someone had brought it to our after-school thing and had left him on the floor outside while he went to play with his friends. It was almost in vehicle mode, then I went and put it in full truck mode. Then I put it in robot mode, then put it back in truck mode. Before everyone got picked up, I had gotten up and one of the adults had me stand in front of everyone and showed them the truck, then turned my back to them and transformed it. Why is this a memory I have
I want to know a fun fact technically every movie Optimus is inaccurate because the swords in the movie become his hands also I'm really going to miss Kirby Morrow he was such a big part of my childhood cuz he wass hot shot and I especially loved him as Cole from Ninjago
the back tires can be tabbed in. you just take the tire covers and oush them down in between the space the rear wheels hinges are on. sorry for crap explanation.
Ah, ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime, the first Transformer figure that I bought on my own. I fondly remember buying his Hunt for the Decepticons version with the battle hooks at my local discount store way back in 2011. His design, on-screen accuracy, and articulation still astound. To me, he represented the ups and downs of collecting Transformers. To clarify, I enjoyed playing with this masterpiece but enjoyed too much to the point of breaking him at the black hinge joint. Never again will I carry any Leader Class figure in a shoe box. The pain of breaking him is lessened by the fact that I only spent less than $20 on him back in 2011, but I still wish that my own copy would be repaired ... somehow. A pipe dream, I'm sure. In the meantime, stay safe for the rest of the year, everyone.
Man, I've always wanted this figure when I was younger. Always been on my wishlist since forever. I've been starting to collect the movieverse Transformers figures from the old lines, and I've spotted the Movie Best version of the Leader Class ROTF Optimus Prime (MB-17 to be exact) on my local toy store. It looks amazing from it's paint apps and seperate weapons accessories such as the energon blade and the barrage cannon. Costs about 148 USD. Should I get it? I already have the first 2007 Movie Leader Class Optimus Prime (amazing figure too) so I'm a bit hesitant to get another leader class. Then again, us Transformers collectors really do have the tendencies to buy Optimus prime figures over and over again.
I remember that and i my favorite mold, i was added in my wish 6 years ago but i cant affford it because my salary its not enough to buy it and also its not fitted in my room because is so small, but now i had my Black Mamba LS-03f Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime (Knock-Off Version upscaled masterpiece movie)
Jeez, why so much hate for the Battle Blade mold? It's a better offering than the Studio Series mold (despite Studio Series mold gettin' both the RotF Jetpower AND DotM Jetwing formations, while Battle Blade went ignored by Hasbro, Takara, & third-party alike). And yeah, the RotF Leader Optimus mold is infinitely superior to MPM4...even with the borked leg articulation. And meanwhile, the Studio Series Jetpower formation is infinitely superior to the RotF Jetpower formation... thanks, RotF Jetfire...ya turd.
I disagree on the battle blades version. I find the transformation really clunky with the transformation shrunk down to a smaller size. The articulation suffers as well, whereas the studio series one is a joy to pose. Yes, it has faux parts, bit that's not something I consider a 'flaw'
I disagree with you on the studio series transformation, the leader class is far easier, it actually works unlike the studio series where nothing likes to tab in
I just got this figure I ordered from eBay. And man it's a tad more difficult to transform than I remember as a kid... Well I remember what goes where, but I miss some details that make the things tab properly. Such as the window tits, I'm not sure where the thing clips in properly to make the vehicle mode look good. Edit: I’ve figured it out with the help of RUclips.
I Just Recently Bought The MB-11 Dotm Optimus Prime Which Is The Same Dotm Mold With More Accessories And A Better Paint Job He'll Just Be As Good As The Original 😁
@@DrLockdown quick search says no, I was referring to both RotF, this best movie leader Optimus(AKA. a "legend"), and said BIONICLE movie all being released in 2009
I recently got the battle hooks version and I can't get the lights and sounds to work in truck mode. Is there some button I'm missing? I replaced the batteries and they work perfectly in robot mode.
I want this so bad. I don’t care that. Some people don’t like it. I don’t care that it has that Game workshop grey it’s nostalgic at this point as much as the 2007 one which I have already
Neither. The studio series figures are deliberately designed to be robot mode scale accurate. Old leaders are close to modern commanders; budgets were very different back then.
Eh I still don’t like the way movie toys are done They’re just way to complicated and I just don’t feel that the robot modes look all that good Which is partly the reason that the only movie figure to survive my childhood was rotf rollbar Also why do I get the feeling that the worst figure of 2020 you were referring to in the double dealer review is gonna be the next figure you review which I assume is gonna be movie masterpiece Optimus
I remember getting this guy when I was a kid, cuz the only other Optimus I had was Energon and I didn't know about any of the toylines going on at the time other than the bayverse. I messed around with it cuz it was my best prime, but for the love of god, I hated this figure then, and I do now. His proportions make him look ridiculous, everything on him flaps and flops away, the transformation is easy yet so unpleasant in how nothing wants to snap into place, the chest thing is annoying and I hate it, the swords won't stay in, his hands suck, he feels uncomfortable to hold, he has ball-jointed feet and it didn't take long for him to become impossible to pose... I know there are bayverse fans, and I got alot of toys from the rotf line, and I've played with them, and I got a bunch of them for some reason, and I think as a kid I just enjoyed having transformers at all, but I wish so bad that they had been making wfc when I was a kid, because that's what I always really wanted, just nice, poseable figures with the more simplified look and feel that makes them nice to hold. Ugh, why did it have to have some garbage light and sound gimmick? Why does his chest do this gross undulation whenever you activate it? Why did he just say, "I am Optimus Prime." I know, alot of people have nostalgia for this toyline, and it played a big part in my childhood too, it represents most of my childhood transformers collection, but I just have no reverence for it because I was getting those toys and then sitting and watching the 86 movie wishing I could get modernized, non-masterpiece versions of the g1 figures, beast wars figures, ect. I know, cringe, but that's what I always wanted. I don't get the appeal of this giant ass dummy saying his own name as every part of him flops apart and stabs into my palms.
Yes. I realised I missed a step with the backs of the legs. Sorry.
Lol
Its ok, we all make mistakes.
You also missed that the back wheels do tab in
Didn't grow up with Unicron Trilogy, but I remember Kirby Morrow as the.voice of Cole from Ninjago, rest in one piece, quakemaster
Yeah I was in highschool when Ninjago hit. Loved the first few seasons. He will be missed
Man I was watching ninjago when it fist came out and kept up with all the series seasons and coming from a season that was mostly Cole centered it was a big shock and no he wasn’t my favourite character he was still a part of the main group and you can’t the ninja with out Cole unless they find some way to get a new voice actor but it just won’t seem right
It'll have to do. This sadly happens
Same

I remember getting this guy when I was a kid, cuz the only other Optimus I had was Energon and I didn't know about any of the toylines going on at the time other than the bayverse. I messed around with it cuz it was my best prime, but for the love of god, I hated this figure then, and I do now. His proportions make him look ridiculous, everything on him flaps and flops away, the transformation is easy yet so unpleasant in how nothing wants to snap into place, the chest thing is annoying and I hate it, the swords won't stay in, his hands suck, he feels uncomfortable to hold, he has ball-jointed feet and it didn't take long for him to become impossible to pose... I know there are bayverse fans, and I got alot of toys from the rotf line, and I've played with them, and I got a bunch of them for some reason, and I think as a kid I just enjoyed having transformers at all, but I wish so bad that they had been making wfc when I was a kid, because that's what I always really wanted, just nice, poseable figures with the more simplified look and feel that makes them nice to hold. Ugh, why did it have to have some garbage light and sound gimmick? Why does his chest do this gross undulation whenever you activate it? Why did he just say, "I am Optimus Prime." I know, alot of people have nostalgia for this toyline, and it played a big part in my childhood too, it represents most of my childhood transformers collection, but I just have no reverence for it because I was getting those toys and then sitting and watching the 86 movie wishing I could get modernized, non-masterpiece versions of the g1 figures, beast wars figures, ect. I know, cringe, but that's what I always wanted. I don't get the appeal of this giant ass dummy saying his own name as every part of him flops apart and stabs into my palms.
Vaughan should destroy leader Jetfire for the crap faux-scottish voice alone.
Maybe ROTF Jetfire didn't read the disclaimer
