@@PerspectiveEnd It has been done
I still seem to have only 7005 Subscribers?
@@PerspectiveEnd he said he will subscribe after hes done gaming and when he comes over at my house we watch atleast like 3-5 of your videos
@@dr.spicememedefender8779 I'm skeptical 🧐
Here's a fun fact : the back of the legs in robot mode are molded weird so then in Vehicle mode the sword could store under the truck .
That is so bizarre.
Like the original toy, but I think they could have done it better.
Does it?
@@PerspectiveEnd yes it is
Laser Prime is my favorite Prime design, so when I got this I was over the moon. Transformation is addictive, alt mode is awesome. Poseability is ok for me, I really wish the shoulders did more. If this is the least well-executed of the wave, that says something.
Agreed. A great figure thats a bit heald back by the arms. I'm with yu on being a sucker for G2 prime and you bet ill also be getting the scourge repaint
The box lies about how far the shoulders can go.
It turns out that the head is indeed on a ball joint that has about as much range as the WFC trilogy offers generally. The problem is that out of the box, the head is mounted a little too far back; by carefully shifting the head forward-or accidentally pulling it off in the process and reattaching it accordingly like I did-the neck articulation works as intended.
That's weird. I will have to see what I can do about remedying that.
4:16 I like how you weren't holding any weapon at that shot, that made me chuckle!!!
Thank you. Glad that bit got you.
I personally like to think that Laser Prime is basically the G1ified Bayverse Prime, personality and all, because his design to me just gives off feelings of something Bay would actually make, just with 10x more detail.
It does at least make some sense like that.
Im imagining a world where there was an actual G2 cartoon with these designs and trying to fit in the 90’s theme of Radicalness and Edgyness. God that sounds hilarious
Here's the thing there was a 90s TF show, and it was called Beast Wars, and aside from Cheetor spouting catchphrases and the Radical Music it wasn't very 90s.
Glad to hear that Im not the only one who thinks the legs work better on this figure
Yeah on Prime the legs were too long. On Laser they are just long enough.
I like to imagine Laser Prime as Nemesis Prime turned good.
I think Bayverse Prime has a great characterisation for Nemesis. Bayverse Prime does care for his men, he just loves the old ultra violence a bit too much. And I think that characterisation is more interesting for Nemesis than “generic evil guy”.
Anyway the Laser Prime bit is mostly because I think it would be cool if the “pure evil” clone of Optimus was still a decent enough guy to not side with space nazis.
It's funny because the original Laser prime became the first Nemesis prime (Scourge)
@Gabriel Castro
That was one of my main inspirations for the idea, although I am not the biggest fan of Scourge as a name for him.
I think it is a cooler name than “Nemesis Prime” but it’s already taken by another guy.
So, I would just like to say that on your bulkhead video you said it was an impossible prime retool, but that was not what is said about it, the theory is that it will be a beast hunters prime, great video just bee on on my mind
Given Beast Hunters Optimus’ large chest and the way the tarp on Bulkhead connects and folds in like Optimus’ wing pack, yeah I think it’s save to say he’ll be retool.
They can also do tf prime ultra magnus because why not. And of course scourge
This is not correct. Before the figure ever was seen by non Hasbo Eyes there was a rumor that it was an ER Prime retool, and those did persist for a while after the reveals.
That figure does look like it could be fun with all the neat gimmicks and the trailer. I've seen other reviews, but yours if the only one that really shows the potential play functions this has.
Which is weird because I don't normally focus on stuff like that.
I'm only thinking about this figure because of the trailer, I have the United Laser Prime (Takara RTS Laser Prime) and while it is a bit finicky due to being a deluxe class, it has much better possibility AND solves both the shoulders and the back kibble! If you get one I highly recommend it.
I have looked at that one with interest before.
I've recently grown to love this design since it reminds me alot of Bayverse Prime, who I have alot of nostalgia for (which is ironic since Laser Prime predated Bayverse Optimus) and yeah, I agree that the articulation could've ALOT better, especially when it came to the shoulders. Overall though, i'm really excited to get him, I've kinda grown to not care for ER Prime anymore so this figure is pretty refreshing for me. Also, nice review btw 👍
Honestly he might more be the Inspiration for Bay Prime than the regular prime.
@@PerspectiveEnd Honestly yeah, I agree. That defintely is most likely the case.
As good as this thing looks, I think I’m going to wait till the scourge version comes out which we all know is coming. I prefer scourge to nemesis as In my mind an evil Optimus wouldn’t just paint himself black but would put enough missiles on his shoulders to level small cities.
You have no idea how many times I've heard this today. Didn't realize Scourge was so much more popular than Nemesis.
@@PerspectiveEnd I always saw scourge as nemesis so when I see rid scourge I just call him nemesis, though this figure does make a good nemesis imo, even with the paint job
the holding nothing when talking about no gun was amazing
I'm glad you really enjoyed that bit, I was feeling particularly inspired with this one.
This easily takes the cake as my favorite chug prime since the classics one. Absolutely love this figure.
Glad you are so uncomplicatedly positive about this one.
This video is TOP notch! The clever editing and humor is a reminder of what separates Perspective End from other reviewers. Not even peak knowing the potential for what’s to come.
Thank you for the vote of confidence. I think there are better editors out there than me, but they don't produce 3 videos a week.
-The weapons can tab into the trailer with tabs.
-glad to see you’ve joined Laser Prime gang
-I love this thing even though it’s flawed.
Yeah, it may be VERY Flawed but it's just got an energy to it.
I'll get this one for nostalgia. G2 laser optimus was one of my first transformers in the mid 90s. Loved the aggressive look. Wish I still have the original, it had so many accessories
I think this is a solid update of that old guy.
Decided on buying this guy and I was actually very surprised, just like the rest of the legacy line lol. The heft, the colors, the trailer, (wasn't a big fan of the energon weapons so I gave him Siege Prime's Axe and my custom painted screen accurate Last Knight Optimus Sword and he looked way better) and his really fun transformation. This was the biggest surprise this year for me, and while now the most posable figure, he's very playable with his gimmicks that I didn't realize I missed. Though I took out his matrix because it looks weird in his chest
Glad to hear you are enjoying it so much. It's so strange I can't really say why I like this thing, but it's just fun is as best as I can put it.
The adult in me is saying wait for the black and turquoise repaint. But the child in me is screaming we need both!
The Child is Powerful.
Just got the Scourge deco of this mold and i'm in love with it. The gimmicks and accessories are very fun, and the deco on it is glorious. Easily my favorite figure of the year so far, might have to start collecting the rest of the Velocitron figures tho...
It is a Very Fun Figure.
Thanks for my small shout out at 0:52
Also I think this review is perfect for the legacy Optimus. I love it but that isn’t to say it definitely comes with many flaws. This video really captures how I feel about the figure and you did an amazing job. Definitely will be getting the RID 2001 scourge repaint of this when it comes out.
Also heads up that their are ports in the trailer where you can plug the weapons in on the inside
I guess I should say slots but yeah in the trailer walls their are dedicated ports to old the weapons to they some bounce around inside the trailer
Thank you, happy to shout out your good idea, and glad you felt a good connection to this video.
I tried finding ports like that, but as I never use directions, I couldn't find them.
@@PerspectiveEnd it’s not to obvious but I had a friend point out to me and it’s there.
On the axe Handel you will see two square shape pegs sticking out on the. Open up the trailer and near the area where the wheels are you will see a port that looks like a squished “H” that’s where the axe goes
And the on one side of the sword you will see two square pegs sticking out and next to the axe port you will see two ports across from each other that are the same, that’s where the sword goes
But yeah again, great review
holy shit having a bowl full of matrixs would be such a good cutaway gag
Too bad I didn't think to do that, and just reference it.
Fun fact those little new covers actually filled out so the arms can tab in it really helped me when a tab on my Earthrise Optimus prime broke
What covers?
@@PerspectiveEnd Covers on the siege one on the knee
This guy has even more features and such. The hollowness in the legs is so you can store the sword at the bottom of the alt mode, like the old toy, the gun can plug into the shoulder pads (for some reason) which is why the peg is there. You can even fan mode a BFG outta the main turret that can be held by Prime which those pegs on the side help with.
Basically this dude is stacked with play features and gimmicks.
I think it's my second favorite from wave 1 aside from Bulkhead, it's a loving tribute to the OG version while sticking to today's budgetary restraints. Though the shoulders not even rotating is bothersome, hope DNA or someone fixes them since they're on screws that can be fully disassembled.
Wait the Legs had to be hollow to do that.
I tried to get him to hold that, but it just didn't work.
Like I said more Gimmicks than joints.
As much as I may say that it is flawed, I do enjoy this more than most of the others my self.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah he's a really fun figure. Getting a second one in soon to repaint into SG Magnus.
Congratulations on 7k I saw 6.99k before I went to school today and ran home hopped on my tablet to see and yep 7k congrats I've been a fan since you started this channel
Thank you so much. Glad to have motivated you to stick with me all this time.
Epic review PerspecitveEnd!!! Your review has convinced me that websites are insane still having this figure street dated for release on July 1st. >:( I hope this figure appears at my local Target store soon, since this is the Legacy wave 1 figure I have been most excited to add to my collection. Keep on being amazing.
Wait, why did my review do that. And thank you, glad I was able to entertain and inform you.
@@PerspectiveEnd You're welcome. Truth is I'm upset that Amazon still has Laser Prime still street dated for release on July 1st when he's already been found at Walmart and Target stores across the U.S. :P
Laser Prime has been repurposed as a body for Optimus Primal. I use him that way myself. My main issues with this toy are it's not G2 enough; no G2 Autobot logos, no stickers, incorrect colours in places, but I really like it.
Toyhax just came out with a set of Reprolables for him.
I just keep the axe folded and use it as a shield. Gives him much more of a knight aesthetic.
It works better that way yeah.
I've figured out that if you remove the hand off of its attachment point and put the handle of sword in there you can give this guy an arm blade
If you are a fan of arms swords like that, then that is a remarkably smart idea.
Personally I'm not big on those myself though.
The axe looks like a padel racket
Indeed it does.
“I’ll harm you!”
Optimus, I mean Laser Prime 2022
Truly an eloquent speaker
Turns out Laser Prime is a Nerd.
@@PerspectiveEnd He’s the quiet kid who finally snapped. I kinda want this figure, to use him as Nemesis Prime. Yeah he doesn’t look anything like that, but I seriously need a Nemesis Prime and his truck mode is black
Looking from a front angle with the weird proportions he looks like if someone tried to draw laser from memory
A bit yeah.
the cab is abnormally large compared to the hood of the truck. My dad used to drive trucks when i was young so as a kid i was around a lot of trucks. No trucks look like that, except maybe in Europe. I passed on this guy and Scourge because I cant see past the wonky truck proportions.
That's a very interesting view point.
Can't wait to get my hands on him, this guy is to be the one of 2 Optimus I'll ever need... given my original plans of just getting Scourge are now abandoned
Why aren't you getting Scourge?
@@PerspectiveEnd Colors aren't what I wanted, though they don't look bad, so if I am to choose one of the two I'll take the laser optimus.
Thank you for your videos they bring me so much joy and thank you for Ashley a pain attention to your fans and Ashley Caryn thank you for taking time out of your day to entertain us (A I big dumb that’s why there are so many typos)
Siri you murdered me with words
Almost 7k subscribers! Congrats!
Thank you very much!
Conglaturations on 7K subscribers!
Thank you so much!
My favorite part about this guy is the style of the trailer and the transformation
Those are both great aspects of the figure.
I'm exited to pick this guy up. I don't have a truck mode like this, I love the colors, the goofy stuff, and the absolutely ANIMEEE accessories. Legacy seems to be looking pretty good right now!
If only the sword was also a gun that way it could be the most Anime.
Here's a tip: the limited head joint is caused by the head not being fully connected to the ball joint. If you push the back of the head hard enough, you will get access to his Ball joint at the head. Hope this helps!
Someone else has since gotten me to propperly attach the head so I do know this.
@@PerspectiveEnd oop my bad
I got this guy along with bulkhead. I glued some yellow paper onto his face to give him eyes.
He is in desperate need of them.
I'm so agreeing with you with these types of figures fully embracing the gawdy-ness, I mean, they're going full-on gawdy with the toy-style repaints like the Selects Galvatron.
idk if anyones already said this but i had the same issue with the head on this figure, you need to pop it off the balljoint and make sure when you put it back on its at the very back of the socket hole on the head, this gives it better tolerance and positioning on the body as well as articulation
I've gotten a few messages about that. I never would have thought to do that. Thank you.
Great review PE. Was never too interested in this one but I like your idea its a different Prime from Optimus. Though speaking of Primes I do have a confession to make, after having my SG ER Prime I think I’ve come to like that mold a bit more than the siege one. I still like the Siege but the ER just does more for me imo.
Side note, really loved your joke posing this episode, Prime getting his balls faded gave me a good laugh. Also love how Warpath seems to be one of your go to extras lately, makes this Warpath fanboy happy.
You MONSTER! How Could you say this to me?.. You might honestly be the first person to tell me that. That's fine though it does sadden me just a little.
Thank you, I felt particularly inspired this time.
I just always have him handy, and he's a good representation of the Modern Smaller deluxe size.
Great vid, on the topic of its head swivel, I found that it isn't assembled correctly, you actually have to shift the head forward, and while it doesn't get looser, it does gove the head a little up and down, also the weapons have dedicated storage in the trailer, but you probably knew that
I've heard that the head can fall off if you do that.
I’ll wait for the Scourge repaint to come out to get this mold. But loved the vid!!
You would not believe how many people agree with you in this comments section.
I’ve been hanging out for this review. You’ve pretty much confirmed my views about laser prime.
It feels like Hasbro heard the complaints about ER Prime’s trailer and so put more budget into the trailer at the cost of the figure’s engineering and paint.
I kind of like it but not $100 like it which is its price here.
And yet it ended up better for it. Though I do really wish the Pylons moved.
The reason the head has dead eyes is because the back half of the head and eyes are clear plastic that they painted over for some reason rather than just painting the eyes
I wish I'd mentioned how dead the eyes are. So the question is does this count as Lightpiping when it can't pipe the light.
I like to imagine laser prime is a future Optimus from a dark timeline
That's also a good use of a Laser.
Figure looks great, i gotta get one, oh and i know you were exaggerating when you said you could fully fill a bowl with matrixes but ngl i would like to see someone fill a bowl with all the recent year matrixes just to see how far it'll go💀
I mean It's not much of one. I think it would look respectably full with the number I got. All the MP Optimuses come with big ones, and now like every Chug figure comes with one at this point.
It’s been like 2 weeks since this video but I found a solution to his head being super tight and sitting behind his shoulders. Pop the head off the ball joint and then stick it back on before sliding it forward a bit on the ball joint. It makes his head sit in the proper area so it’s at his shoulder line and he can look down a decent range. TL:DR the ball joint isn’t all the way in the socket on his head so you need to pop it off and slide it forward a bit. Don’t know if you will see this but just wanted to let you know.
So it's like the Nautilator head then, there's like a dead space in there it can move into?
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, there is a small gap between the faceplate and the socket, so the ball joint seems to be resting half-way in that gap. So pushing the back of the head forward or popping it off it situating it properly should fix the problem. It makes his head sit a bit higher and closer to his shoulders while letting him look down a decent range
"Cap'n Ratchet's Nutritious Matrix Crunch" needs to be a gag product in something now. lol
Was the random thought that came up when you mentioned filling a bowl to the brim with matrices.
I was more just thinking Matrix-Os my self.
@@PerspectiveEnd Rolls off the tongue better, yeah.
At least Scourge had that cab on his back in animation model, I mean, we all know Laser Prime is just pretool for him
Everyone seems to agree in this comments section at least.
I’m really excited for a scourge repaint of this figure and adding another matrix to the infinity chain, This figure is a leader Optimus while it has some issues is no much more worthy of the leader price than the ER
Yeah I think everyone wants the Scourge.
You ever notice the matrix that comes with this figure looks more accurate than the ones we got in the WFC Trilogy?
I think this video sold me on Laser Optimus. Maybe treating him as a different character increases his marketability. If I get this, I’d have him in the process of throwing his trailer at some Decepticons in a heavily populated war zone. Cause that’s how I see him: a more gung-ho battle-ready leader than Optimus Classic, who is willing to take more drastic measures(for himself or others,) to make sure his target is eliminated. He‘s basically full 90’s action hero, and would probably get along with the Wreckers.
As for the eventual RID Scourge repaint, I’m not really gonna wait for it. I’m just gonna get the Netflix Nemesis Prime to use as my definitive Nemesis, as that one will most likely better accessories and better overall mold(cause I do still like the Siege Optimus, despite liking the ER one more). Plus, I have some knowledge and affinity for the Netflix Nemesis, in that I think Nemesis as “Optimus Gone Bad” is an awesome concept, despite being botched twice. I hope they actually do this at some point and it isn’t in something as bad as Last Knight or the Netflix show.
Absolutely this is the Frontline Commander Prime, the guy who gets stuck in with the troops every opportunity he gets.
To be fair yeah, this will be more accurate to scourge, but I can't say that it's a better finger in any way compared to the netflix.
Can't wait for them to make a Toxictron out of this
Hopefully they do that at some point.
Whenever I'm transforming it the friction post on the abs wants to fall off super easily.
As you said, the sword was warped, but mine was bent to a 45° angle, and needed heating up, and I hate the double mushroom pegs on the arms!
My Arcee as the same problem as my Prime, where the arms just fall right off if you try to turn them...
Yeah the abs are annoying.
Sorry about your sword being so bad.
I swear do the Double Mushroom pegs have less hold than normal ones.
Mine's not that bad, but it is too easy to get the arms to fall off.
So hyped for the RID01 Scourge repaint of this
I think everyone commenting feels the exact same way.
6:10 Me when my dad digs up my grave to sell my organs
Why is your Dad doing that?
Will wait for the inevitable RiD Scourge repaint, but this is cool, but in my book, the TR Voyager Prime is still great.
When the shield and sword are combined i like to think of it as the starsaber from tf prime
But... The starsaber in prime didn't combine out of anything?
@@PerspectiveEnd all i said was the combined mode i pretend is the starsaber... i never implied that the combiner is what is part pf it, its just a big ol sword when combined
Okay if I have to be honest that original laser prime looks like the best old transformers toy
It was probably one of the best of the first few years yeah.
I got this guy myself a couple days ago and I got to say I haven't been able to put him down he is so damn fun.
Yeah, I don't know what it is about him but he is just so fun, even if I think this is very flawed, I'm having the most fun out of any of the Legacy Figures with this one.
@@PerspectiveEnd what's your opinion on the ball joint that the head sits on where it always has to constantly be looking up?
The "axe" is a reference to the disks the original figure came with and the flames are in line with the Reveal the Shield figure.
What do you mean about the flames?
@@PerspectiveEnd That they're a carry over from the reveal the shield figure and it works.
I can't wait for the scourge version of this mold
You would not believe how many people agree with you in this comments section.
I love this figure. Finaly we have big laser Prime.
Haven't all the Laser Primes been big?
You can literally call this guy Laser if you don’t want him as Optimus Prime
I go with just laser prime my self.
One thing I realize about the laser Optimus prime he has light piping in his eyes like a little bit… you probably knew that 😂
I mean he'd need a light receptor at the back of his head which he doesn't have, but yes they seem to be clear plastic eyes.
I don’t think it looks bad but in way more excited to get it when he comes in black.
I think everyone want's a Scourge more than this.
Actually for the sword and axe/shield thing can properly store in the trailer with some tabs. Not sure if the instructions show the storage for those but I did watch emgo316 video review on this figure as well.
I never look at the directions. And putting them inside the trailer is way cooler.
@@PerspectiveEnd hey man if it works it works
I used to like my Earthrise Prime and then it fell off my shelf ONCE (which is shorter than I am, and I’m not a tall person by any means) which broke off one of the smokestacks.
I kind of fixed it, so that’s… fine.
Then, weeks later, I went to transform him for the first time in a while, I don’t really play with him much, and one of the leg pegs had broken off presumably when I dropped him and now he can’t hold together in truck mode.
Figures shouldn’t break if they fall a few feet *one* time!
That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. I have said before the plastic on that feels a lot worse than on the Siege, I didn't realize it would be that much worse.
Some already made a digibash, But I'de like to see a Bayverse Prime out of this.
Honestly Bayverse prime might be based on this guy.
@@PerspectiveEnd nah, Tiny PP
Couple of things you missed;
- the reason the legs are hollow is because the sword has secret legs to store on the bottom of the alt mode, just like the original toy
- there is no blue plastic on this thing. It's all paint.
...whyyyyyyyy...
I suppose I did miss that cause I didn't know about it. Though if I knew about it I probably wouldn't have said anything. I've never been the guy who shows off every possible combination, and the only reason I brought it up with the axe is the visible prongs on the side are confusing.
And Yeah I suspected that about the Blue, if the face is all painted why didn't they use the silver.
I find it really annoying. It seems like the sort of paint that'll chip over time.
Reckon it's so the colours match up for scourge (or black convoy, as they're calling him how). Dunno if I'll get him. Already have the original in perfect condition, so I'll have to see photos first
No blue plastic?
Not even the head?
Really?
I'm not going to get this because I think this model works better for RiD Scourge, but... not gonna lie if it came with those gaudy stickers/decals I think I WOULD actually get this just cause of how fucking hilarious it would be.
Plus, as someone who only has the Siege Prime, I have yet to get a Matrix of Leadership, so getting one from this would be cool. Maybe if any of the TF sticker makers make them I'll think about getting this version of the figure.
Man at this point I just have WAAAAY too many Matrixes.
And yeah a lot of people are waiting for the Scourge Tooling.
the title is just like the good old days where people like demolisher, tidal wave, scavenger, the g2 figures and alot of armada toys "where More Gimmicks than Joints" and some of them where fun
I didn't know people used to make those jokes?
@@PerspectiveEnd why do you think people love some g2 toys
I got this figure the other day, and theres a major flaw in the head I dont think you covered...
The head is 50% clear plastic, but its painted over... Its rather thin paint that can allow light piping in certain situations
however that design choice can cause some issues, in fact, my copys head wasnt mounted properly on the ball joint in the box, so when I turned his head for the first time, it cracked a little, and now he has cracks in his eyes...
Lightpiping my arch nemesis.
That's crazy. Sorry to hear that yours has messed up eyes, thought that does sound kind of cool.
Not sure but it happened to my friends laser prime. But the head was super tight but apparently it just wasn’t attached to the ball joints and the the ball was just in a cavity in front of the socket if that makes sense. So maybe the head is just on wrong?
People have been saying that I will have to try to see what I can do about it.
Now I'm really confused about if I should get this or the Titans Return version of Laser Prime for my Transformers Synergy series.
Let me make your Decision for you. To get the TR one you pretty much need to buy the box set, and that will run you 500 dollars right now.
The handles on the turret are to peg into the walls of the trailer when you transform it back
I feel like the end cap would have held them together fine without pegs?
The handle on the back of the gun is to plug it into the shoulder ports.
It looks as ridiculous like that, as him holding it like a sword.
man, I really need to get the toxitron repaint of that guy.
saw soemone on twiiter saying the mould would make for a pretty nifty prime style mangus.
The Toxitron version would make a good Magnus?
@@PerspectiveEnd nah, the mould itself, probs using the optimus version as a base tho.
would be cool if Hasbro ever makes a retool like that tho, althought quite unlikely since we recently had a very solid magnus.
They probably didn't paint the prime head fully because the toy didn't have a silver metal skin but a blue metal skin, like the ER prime tried to do a more toy prime but alot of people complained he didn't look alot like the cartoon so they changed the eye color from yellow to blue, and the prime's paint job and overall look is based on the japanese 2006 rerelease, so it's good at what it's trying to do in paint and design, if they can put out something like this I would like to see their attempt at a combat hero prime
I mean they have the silver for the shoulder cannons.
i've seen others say that this could be a g1nified bayverse optimus prime and i somewhat see that in the alternate mode i don't see it entirely
Or you could argue that Bayverse prime is actually a take on this G2 more extreme prime than it ever was of the OG Optimus.
As someone who absolutely loves ER Prime this figure looks pretty neat
It is fun but flawed.
A year later and he’s a package refresh in United…
Coulda had Jetstorm or Tankor, but nope, this, again.
Just a core class Cheetor, pain
Or how about a Package Refresh of something people couldn't get easily in an earlier line?
@@PerspectiveEnd truth, where’s the Snarl’s at????
I gave my laser prime the SG starscream swords and there are slots on the inside of the trailer for the axe and sword. I made him a melee based fighter while my siege prime is loaded with ranged weapons
I like your style man.
Oh no, you’ve just made me want him after I swore I was going to skip💀😭
I'm sorry.
This has to be the best looking g2 character
I can think of a few others that would rival him.
A better attempt than I expected, still can't outdo the 2010/HftD mold, or even, dare I say, the TR version?
I really wish I had the TR version, instead I just have the basic version that you didn't have to get in a box set.
@@PerspectiveEnd and last I checked, the Scourge repaint is even more rare, not Takara exclusive, but lottery exclusive if I'm remembering vorrectly, but I'll check
5:46 sunstreaker is gonna get pissed after this
I think everyone on the road is going to be pissed by that.
The head on my laser prime can only go a bit to the left but try to go right or past it and it will come clean off of the ball joint
So someone pointed out the fix to me. It turns out theres a gap where the head isn't supposed to go, and people assembled it wrong. Pull the head all the way off, and them make sure to reattach it where the head is actually supposed to go.
That should free it up.
@@PerspectiveEnd I just tried to put primes head in the correct spot but it just isn't going into it it keeps on going back into the gap
Atleast he can do the holding the matrix pose/can touch his chest, unlike ER optimus.
This is true.
@@PerspectiveEnd do you prefer this over ER/Kingdom optimus?
I got this purely for the gaudy 90s aesthetic, and it can use more I'm very happy with it. but it does have obvious flaws that could've been different, I'm not mad about them though. I've been having too much fun with it.
one thing i did find out from a couple others is the eyes seem like they were supposed to be painted. if you look closely under a light there might be some blue paint thats a different shade not found on the figure. so i wonder if that's a factory issue, like Galvatrons shoulders, and it'll be fixed with later releases.
The eyes were actually meant for light piping but they painted over the collector.
@@PerspectiveEnd That's an odd design choice... well, i guess that's another prime that'll have paint chipping of the back of its head in a couple years
I was going to comment on your weapons storage but then I noticed a lot of people have already commented on that, however I will comment on the fact there is a way to store the sword underneath the truck mode
Thank you for taking the time to look, as MANY after you didn't.
@@PerspectiveEnd no problem at all you're one of the only RUclipsrs who's brave enough to give his honest opinion on the current Transformers and I respect that
I'm still on the fence but think it would be fun to use the weaponizers from siege all over that base trailer
Yeah that would be a great use of them.
If the leaks are right, I hope to get the RiD Black Convoy/Scourge Walmart repaint instead lol.
I think it looks pretty good, although I would like the fanshobby one. My problem with this character is that it is impossible to make him not fauxform. His chest is too different from the front of the truck that everyone just relies on the back. But if someone makes the back good and at least not completely fauxform the chest, then I would love this character.
I can think of like 1 way to get it not to fauxform but it is kind of silly.
Question: Are you planning to buy the inevitable RID Scourge repaint? (Yeah I'm probably going to get it even though I don't "need" it.)
If the Fancy strikes me then yes.
