my main reference point for this figure has always been when thew called it "not even the GOOD movie legends one" in relation to a weird knockoff of it kinda sums up how this thing is mostly remembered by people
Nightwatch Optimus NEEDS a new rendition so bad i would just love to have a new one, the old leader class is great but I still want a more cleaned up and in scale version
i have a lot of respect for this guy, the design it’s based on was already borderline impossible to make toys of even at the highest price point they gave it, and i can commend this fellow for being creative with how it works even if it’s fudging the numbers. the leg fold is iconic to me, lil guy manages an impressive amount of mass shifting with just one motion there.
@DrLockdown I do like it (though getting some characters to max level will be crucial for two specific characters' unlock requirements), the racing-switching-to-combat combo I find to be quite unique for a racing game. (I can't say that I'm good at ranking such things.) It has (some [degree of]) potential...
i think the 2022 series was what got me to this channel (forgot if it was 2021 or 2022, BUT NONE THE LESS. i'm really happy to see the series that made me discover you, return can't wait to see the next one tomorrow ^^
I have a Bootleg Copy of 07 Legend Class Prime, but I still enjoy the figure regardless. I had fun with the figure itself, and hope to get the Night Watch Prime Prime version one day.
I think this figure was my first Optimus Prime toy ever, so I remember it fondly despite all of its jank. It's kinda funny how the vehicle mode looks pretty good even by today's standards, but then the robot mode looks like a child tried to draw Optimus from memory.
Everyone always says how abrupt the transition from the UT to 07 was, but as I start to collect Cybertron figures I’m surprised by the complexity even the occasional use of panels in the line. They were already moving in that direction, even if the crazy new aesthetic did take some getting used to.
I own Transformers with similar sockets and they also degraded with time. Id didn't own that many, but I was still pissed off in the long run, and keep in mind these were *early* Bayverse Transformers, not knock-offs. Also, have you read Bleach? I'm enjoying it so far, but man it's very wordy (and I'm reading this in japanese to force myself to *try* to learn it better).
@DrLockdown nice! I wonder if 07 Jazz is still worth the pick up. I know he’s not great, but I’ve always wanted a small-scale official Jazz. I guess we’ll find out later. Shame they never revisited him, unlike Blackout and Barricade in DOTM and BBM.
@@DrLockdown aww. I’ve always liked that design, and I wish the toy did it justice. I still think he looks alright, even with the weird roof chest and the leg proportions.

4:31 If I had to guess, an early concept truck probably only had one smokestack
that's why.

my dumbass tried to blow off the dust off the chest in that closeup im so fucking cooked 😭😭😭
I always pretended that the Nightwatch Optimus Prime is Nemesis Prime. (And funnily enough, the Galactic Trials would bring things full circle.)
Is galactic trials any good? I've heard mixed things

@@DrLockdown dont bother. way too much jank and random lootbox based progression
I actually caught it on time lfg

@@DrLockdown I don’t mind its quality content

LETS GOOO
Which nightwatch leader prime is your favorite? The original uk only release? Or the more widespread allspark power version?
IDK, I'm not sure which version I own. I think mines allspark power? Because I think that's what we got?
Jank in the Trank? Who put jank in the director of Chronicle and Fant4stic?

Are there any Legends class figures from the original 07 movie line that you’d say have actually aged well? Brawl, Bonecrusher, Barricade, etc?
Brawl and blackout at the very least, off the top of my head.

@RevengeoftheBallen831 he's not. Trust me.
Check back after Christmas. I forget which specific day

Oooooo nice nails :3
8:50 I too am a transitional piece 🏳️⚧️
