Love your review of studio series Optimus Prime because of the comparison to the previous voyager Primes. It seems like you're the only one who did that many comparisons of this figure. Thank you!
Jcc2224: This is possibly the best movie voyager Optimus Prime. Hasbro a year later: Hold my beer. (Makes Optimus Prime figure 32 that combines with jetfire and Bumblebee movie Optimus Prime figure 38). *i realized this comment was too long and kinda dumb but still uploaded it: )
It's a decent take, considering an attempt to introduce proper movie design character scale and an MPM Optimus feel in design. They made Grimlock the roof in scaling, hence we got a small Optimus. I don't see why people call this toy ugly. Keep in mind each Studio Series toy represents a character in a particular moment in a Bayverse film. They didn't just make a version per film, people- they picked a character from a scene from a movie. Optimus here is represented in his blaze of glory in the forest battle in ROTF. You can consider the dark colors a nod to dirt and dust as he is depicted with the forest battle background and the two swords in the moment when he says: *I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON!* Even though he's smaller than the usual sizes, he's still impressive. The engineering here is a treat for those who've transformed many Optimuses in the past by hearkening back to particular part movements. Really hope 3P toy makers give him weapons.
I also hope Hasbro can make more studio series in scale because we need a new deluxe ironhide, new deluxe sideswipe, new taller voyager shockwave, leader the fallen, and voyager bone crusher, and this is a stretch but maybe new contructicons
Might buy the set w/ Starscream, last wave (movie 5) I couldn't get my hands on much because I just wanted prime and megs, but then again so did everyone which is why no one had it. But I know I'll be able to order the set of prime and starscream for like 60$.
I can name some other prime figures it's taken from. The Orion pax when you swing the front wheel to the waist, aoe prime, tfp prime, and a little bit of hftd prime.
Evasion mode still wins for optimus voyagers with me man! He is just so detailed, articulated, excellent engineering, and just fun! I am defiantly still going to pick up the studio series optimus when I find him for a good price at one of my local stores, but I am not going to pay 44$ online for him because I am still very happy with evasion mode!
One thing I always notice is none of these can properly recreate the chest with the doors and abs. There’s always something off, whether it be the size or scale of a panel or window or some sort of coloring issue. This one yet again doesn’t have a properly designed chest, although I see why it had to be made like this for the transformation. It also bugs me that he has to hold the swords upside down. And I feel like if it could be bigger, it could be much better. My personal favorite voyager Optimus is the Last Knight SDCC exclusive prime (the paint on that is great.) or the Movie The Best Evasion prime.
Hey! ;D So... Which one is better? I don't know who, but for me Optimus Prime (SS) is more intresting than Optimus (AOE). And for me (SS) is better in terms of articulation, transformation and durability but maybe i do not know so tell me pls.
I don't think any are being spotted at Toys R Us besides their Exclusive Thundercracker (repaint of Nitro Zeus). Since they're likely all to close soon, I doubt they're gunna be getting much new stock.
What is this like transforming compared to the last night voyager? My son has some issues transforming TLK OP. Thinking of getting this one instead as he has the starscream studio series and loves it!
Your son MIGHT have an easier time with this one, it's different but I wouldn't say it's any more or less complicated. I think the best Voyager Optimus that a kid would be able to transform would probably be the original 2007 Voyager (or its many repaints).
Ive got battle blades and battle hook prime. Battle BLADES is actually ok to transform. On the other hand I completely agree with you on the battle hooks prime
I really want him so much lol I just saw that guy on Amazon like two days ago and I already wanted him the moment I saw him I watched freaking geeks review on him freaking geek is the guy to go to transformers reviews in my opinion
So this guy looks amazing. But I gotta ask jcc , what do you think of the dark of the moon studio series that combines with jetfire??? I know you love the bumblebee movie one on your top 10 Optimus figures but what do you think of the newer studio series prime?
I’ve tried to like this figure, but something about it that just makes me not like it, I think with a few paint fixes and maybe some slight slight fixes in the mold and this thing could be godlike
I was at walmart last night not expecting to find an optimus, but i got to the transformers isle and found that one, ITS 2020, THAT TOY HAS BEEN OUT FOR 2 YEARS, why did walmart have it,i dont know, they also had seige prime, but hey, this is the one i was looking for
since they are going for the whole accurate robot mode scale thing, they have 2 options to go about it. put optimus as normal scale voyager and make megatron a bigger voyager, or make optimus a smaller voyager and make megatron normal voyager size. obviously, like any sane company who wants to cook up some profit, they went for the cheaper option to scale down the whole figure class. i dont really have a problem with it because the quality and accuracy of this studio series optimus is way higher than quite a few of his bigger voyager counter parts.
I wish he came with a gun, but for how nice the swords are, I can't complain too much. Besides, we've had plenty of guns we can give him from other figures, but this is the first time we've gotten the swords to use as accessories with other Primes (they look AMAZING on the Evasion Mode Prime).
In the movies optimus is bigger than starscream in fact in the second movie in the forest fight optimus picks up starscream and easily kicks him in the face and you can see he is clearly smaller than prime
Austin Powers Jesus Christ is this what society has become I say not to trust the Internet and you make out that I'm attacking you just look closely in the forest battle look really closely Megatron I can see is slightly bigger and you know grindor is way bigger than all 3 of them
Iron Knight But why are you looking at the sequel? Why not the first one which clearly shows their heights, the second one was just a mess of continuity for example devastator.
Hmmmm... I like the comparison with Battle Blades Prime. Really brings out the good for Studio series. I have been considering getting Battle Blades due to relative accuracy and ESPECIALLY the integrated dual Blades AND Cannons, that are both hidden and stored in vehicle mode. The only real thing I dislike about it is the arm panels are inside out. Studio series has awesome proportions but fake windshields and an inaccurate backpack (as nice and small as it is), and only has blades(no Cannons) and can't even keep them hidden when stored in vehicle mode. This is a tough decision, I have never had a good opportunity to get a good Movie prime, and I kinda like the Voyager size.
I consider them good toys for completely different reasons. Battle Blades is very accurate and engineered pretty well. It's not a very fun toy, but it's a good Optimus. Studio Series here is just plain old fun. Quick and easy to transform (my efforts in this video were not accurate to how the actual experience of transforming him is) while being involved and engaging, and 2 solid and fun alt modes. Get Battle Blades to be the badass accurate Voyager Prime on your shelf, and Studio Series to be the fun one you keep taking off the shelf to mess with.
I love all the studio series optimus primes but i hate that transformers figure are getting smaller and smaller where now optimus is as big as a marvel legends iron man with is just wrong I want them to be at least 7 and a half inches tall cuz thats kinda dumb
Meijer stores (a retail chain in the US if you're unaware) has been getting the Studio Series Voyagers early, I was lucky enough to stumble across them.
Luke Milbocker i did hav that but i got from my friend but he. Had a broken arm soni couldnt transform him and i had the galvatron figure but i gave galvatron to my friend who gave the evasion prime then like. 2 eeks later i lost evasion prime
Dan the Random Gamer yup that's just what we need ,the rotf leader megs is too chunky and oversize while the voyager is too short yet have the right mass (despite having the large shell on His back) If there is one thing I can complain about studio series megs is they removed majority of the silver
The elbows, lack of paint, oddly painted feet, misplacement of the wheels, and no faceplate version released in the US that wasn't in a giant dumb boxset are my problems with Evasion Prime. I still love it though, so much so I got the Wei Jiang KO Upscale.
I didn't even think of that, a KO upscale of this figure taking care of some of my few issues with it would be AMAZING. Making a good figure even greater.
Yeah, his greys are kinda dark and his reds and blues more bright, I see why you may not like them. I hope that doesn't prevent you from getting this guy on clearance eventually, as an Optimus collector I think this is an awesome addition to the movie Prime Lineup!
I'm going to have to wait till December or some crap like that. And then I'll have to pay fifty bucks for the voyagers anyway. Australia is kinda crap. Especially its hasbro
Great review I still won’t get him since I like my battle blades prime you just earned a sub Btw this the scale between Optimus grimlock and megatron www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/abrin-2018-brazil-hasbro-movies-studios-series.1145828/
Like I said, on paper it's very nice, and probably better. But it's just not fun, and it's a pain to transform and is proportionally pretty weird. I still applaud it for downscaling the ROTF Leader so decently though.
Comparisons start at 3:00 and the review starts at 12:07 !
Optibotimus says to never skip through his videos or he will hit me! Haha.
Love your review of studio series Optimus Prime because of the comparison to the previous voyager Primes. It seems like you're the only one who did that many comparisons of this figure. Thank you!
GREAT review jcc, you're a cool goof
Hi leo
I love your Peter 3 video
Jcc2224: This is possibly the best movie voyager Optimus Prime.
Hasbro a year later: Hold my beer. (Makes Optimus Prime figure 32 that combines with jetfire and Bumblebee movie Optimus Prime figure 38).
*i realized this comment was too long and kinda dumb but still uploaded it: )
05 is far better than 32. 32 has a terrible transformation
It's a decent take, considering an attempt to introduce proper movie design character scale and an MPM Optimus feel in design. They made Grimlock the roof in scaling, hence we got a small Optimus.

The best Voyager Prime? What about HFTD Battle Blades Optimus Prime from 2010?
I compared it to the DOTM Battle Hooks repaint, made my points pretty clear there.
the battleblade's proportion was way off and his backpack is way too big. his feet and calves are way too small.
Thank you for making this review, you totally sold me on this studio series Optimus!
I also hope Hasbro can make more studio series in scale because we need a new deluxe ironhide, new deluxe sideswipe, new taller voyager shockwave, leader the fallen, and voyager bone crusher, and this is a stretch but maybe new contructicons
Ironhide is gonna be voyager, because in the movie he is taller than Ratchet
It's funny seeing this comment from 10 months ago and now seeing that some of these exist. I'm looking forward to Studio Series Devastator.
@@DalekTheSupreme agreed.
First Movie or DOTM Optimus Prime remold/Repaint review?
Might buy the set w/ Starscream, last wave (movie 5) I couldn't get my hands on much because I just wanted prime and megs, but then again so did everyone which is why no one had it. But I know I'll be able to order the set of prime and starscream for like 60$.

Looks like a decent movie Optimus Prime. Yeah I think you're right this is the best Movie Prime since Battle Blades Optimus Prime.

Hey! ;D
So... Which one is better? I don't know who, but for me Optimus Prime (SS) is more intresting than Optimus (AOE).
And for me (SS) is better in terms of articulation, transformation and durability but maybe i do not know so tell me pls.
Personally I prefer the SS, but the AOE Evasion is still really great.
Thx bro ;D
I went to Toys R Us recently and they don't have these new figures. They even don't know if they are getting them.
I don't think any are being spotted at Toys R Us besides their Exclusive Thundercracker (repaint of Nitro Zeus). Since they're likely all to close soon, I doubt they're gunna be getting much new stock.
For me I always loved the Peter built truck 379 Optimus prime it’s just so so so awesome
Can these be purchased in stores, or can you only get these online????
Besides some select stores leaking them out (like Meijer), they won't be out until April.
Jcc2224 thank you so much
I got him just Yesterday and I love it!
What is this like transforming compared to the last night voyager? My son has some issues transforming TLK OP. Thinking of getting this one instead as he has the starscream studio series and loves it!

Do you know why some people mix up sideswipe and jazz in the first movie
Cuz they're both silver cars and don't have much actual character. lol
00:03:19 This is the old toy one
ROTF Voyager Class Optimus Prime 2009 is 014 Size
SS005 Voyager Class Optimus Prime 2018 is 010 Size
11:22 that made my day
Yes it would look good but can it fit in his hand?
I didn't have trouble transforming my Studio Series 05 Optimus Prime figure at all
Ive got battle blades and battle hook prime. Battle BLADES is actually ok to transform. On the other hand I completely agree with you on the battle hooks prime
I think by far the best optimus figure we've had is battle blades optimus without his kibble
3:00, i believe the correct term is not "optimuses", it's "optimi" because cactus --> cacti, octopus --> octopi
His name is Optimus though, you don't butcher names like that in stating a plural, you keep the name in-tact. But "Optimi" is pretty funny.
Jcc2224 cause he’s always OPTIMIzing when it comes to combat missions.......................shut up, it sounded a lot better in my head.
I really want him so much lol I just saw that guy on Amazon like two days ago and I already wanted him the moment I saw him I watched freaking geeks review on him freaking geek is the guy to go to transformers reviews in my opinion
So this guy looks amazing. But I gotta ask jcc , what do you think of the dark of the moon studio series that combines with jetfire??? I know you love the bumblebee movie one on your top 10 Optimus figures but what do you think of the newer studio series prime?
I got an Old Vs New of the old DOTM Voyager and new SS DOTM Leader coming up!
@@Jcc2224 ok awesome! Can't wait!!
What's with the tyres,They are different
I’ve tried to like this figure, but something about it that just makes me not like it, I think with a few paint fixes and maybe some slight slight fixes in the mold and this thing could be godlike
Lol guess what happened
@@MassHystarix I know right! Much happier with both the updated mold and the bumblebee movie prime.
@@dc-vengance5630 yo returning after 2 years lol, impressive
Lol Just happened to see the reply and thought I’d write back for shits and giggles
Dude the mech-tech prime was my first ever transformer
I was at walmart last night not expecting to find an optimus, but i got to the transformers isle and found that one, ITS 2020, THAT TOY HAS BEEN OUT FOR 2 YEARS, why did walmart have it,i dont know, they also had seige prime, but hey, this is the one i was looking for
where did you get this？uuuu I checked every toysrus but still can't find studio series tf
Tbh the new premium finish paint scheme makes me like the look of this more then the newer SS prime
Can you please review the studio series star scream?
The studio series OptimusPrime is SOOO SMAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!
since they are going for the whole accurate robot mode scale thing, they have 2 options to go about it. put optimus as normal scale voyager and make megatron a bigger voyager, or make optimus a smaller voyager and make megatron normal voyager size. obviously, like any sane company who wants to cook up some profit, they went for the cheaper option to scale down the whole figure class. i dont really have a problem with it because the quality and accuracy of this studio series optimus is way higher than quite a few of his bigger voyager counter parts.
My first movie Optimus was the mechtech one aswell
Why do most of the Optimus prime toys have swords but what about his ion blaster, he needs to shoot deceptions too
I wish he came with a gun, but for how nice the swords are, I can't complain too much. Besides, we've had plenty of guns we can give him from other figures, but this is the first time we've gotten the swords to use as accessories with other Primes (they look AMAZING on the Evasion Mode Prime).
In the movies optimus is bigger than starscream in fact in the second movie in the forest fight optimus picks up starscream and easily kicks him in the face and you can see he is clearly smaller than prime
Iron Knight
Optimus is 28 foot tall, Screamer is 31 foot tall and Megs is 33 foot tall.
So your theory is proven false.
Austin Powers you just got that off a website you do know the Internet is not always right TFW2005 could be wrong
Iron Knight
It's sad I had to tell you their heights because it's really freaking obvious in the movies!
Austin Powers Jesus Christ is this what society has become I say not to trust the Internet and you make out that I'm attacking you just look closely in the forest battle look really closely Megatron I can see is slightly bigger and you know grindor is way bigger than all 3 of them
Iron Knight
But why are you looking at the sequel? Why not the first one which clearly shows their heights, the second one was just a mess of continuity for example devastator.
Might get this if it goes on sale. Otherwise, I'm content with the ROTF Leader Class and TLK Voyager.
hopefully we get a movie accurate paint version some day
Here you go lol

Nah you're good, it's a Japanese Takara exclusive, not very common knowledge!
Can the figure hold mechtech weapons
yes

Where did u get it
Meijer stores (a retail chain in the US if you're unaware) has been getting the Studio Series Voyagers early, I was lucky enough to stumble across them.
The only optimus prime voyager i hav is from the last knight but i got it on the day the last knight came out but i lost the shield
Get evasion mode bud!
Luke Milbocker i did hav that but i got from my friend but he. Had a broken arm soni couldnt transform him and i had the galvatron figure but i gave galvatron to my friend who gave the evasion prime then like. 2 eeks later i lost evasion prime
Luke Milbocker but the evasion prime was my only voyager prime and my favorite figure and when i lost it I went crazy
I still don't know if I need it, but we'll see.
I was pretty skeptical too, but with a buy-one-get-one 50% off deal I couldn't pass it up. I'm glad I didn't, I prefer this guy over Screamer!
Jcc2224 and plus It will scale well with the upcoming studio series Megatron
Rodimus Unicronus they say studio series megatron is as tall as a leader figure and as thin as a voyager
Dan the Random Gamer yup that's just what we need ,the rotf leader megs is too chunky and oversize while the voyager is too short yet have the right mass (despite having the large shell on His back)
If there is one thing I can complain about studio series megs is they removed majority of the silver
Finally a good Optimus Prime
Nice review.
I think this is the best prime even better than evasion mode ! It's just the arms section I hate for the evasion mode !!!
The elbows, lack of paint, oddly painted feet, misplacement of the wheels, and no faceplate version released in the US that wasn't in a giant dumb boxset are my problems with Evasion Prime. I still love it though, so much so I got the Wei Jiang KO Upscale.
I need that.
yes the engineering is also same like the el cid alien attack prime
You: brings out voyager movie 3 prime
Me: that disgrace is back kill it with fire
And then the v2 just had to come along and had to be better, dating this video.
The V2 is SO much better, this figure is still solid tho! I wish the Takara Premium finish was a repaint of the V2 instead of this...
I rather buy this than the movie 1 version but the dotm ss is still better
JC reviewed it first, oh yah!
battle mask you forgot about it
What did I forget? Battle Mask what?
@@Jcc2224 maybe he's thinking about the wei jiang version where it has a battle mask face and non mask
Did you say Meijer?...
You live in Michigan don't you? xD
Cincinnati. Meijer's very mid-west.
Jcc2224 I know
I was just making a wild guess xD
It’s the Best Optimus until the arm hinges break off and you have armless Optimus prime
That dude is tiny. I'm gonna wait for the inevitable Black Mamba OS.
I didn't even think of that, a KO upscale of this figure taking care of some of my few issues with it would be AMAZING. Making a good figure even greater.
watch your video really make me change my opinion. this is a great figure of OP. certinly I buy it! -)
This toy is now 100 dollars now, that went up by A LOT 😅
I can look past the size but the chest just looks too far apart it really puts me off, great review though!
If they would have painted the black hinges they wouldn't look so far apart, there's sculpted windows and borders on those hinges.
I’m not digging the colors at all, Im gonna have to pass and go for the mpm Prime instead
Yeah, his greys are kinda dark and his reds and blues more bright, I see why you may not like them. I hope that doesn't prevent you from getting this guy on clearance eventually, as an Optimus collector I think this is an awesome addition to the movie Prime Lineup!
Jcc2224 💯💯
Black Convoy go for lt-02 optimus prime, it's an improved version of mpm optimus
Starscream91 it’s not the red & blue, it’s the lack of paint apps in pivotal places like the windows in robot and vehicle and also the rims
Black Convoy I would just paint it and make it more movie accurate :P
I have a picture of optimus standing next to megatron
The only reason I hate about this figure is the dark colors. They look terribly too dark.
I bet you're happy about the new voyager and DOTM Leader then!
@@Jcc2224 Yup. You know it!! they look way better
Shit, I might get it now.
I'm going to have to wait till December or some crap like that. And then I'll have to pay fifty bucks for the voyagers anyway. Australia is kinda crap. Especially its hasbro
Hi
Poor dotm optimus, bullied in 2018, arm torn off in 2020
the backpack is ass but overall the figure is better than other prime voyagers
So lucky
Great review I still won’t get him since I like my battle blades prime you just earned a sub
Btw this the scale between Optimus grimlock and megatron www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/abrin-2018-brazil-hasbro-movies-studios-series.1145828/
Thanks for the sub and pic! Damn, I was right, Megs is gunna be HUGE!
is a piece of crap this studio series, much much better the battle blades, is the best voyager ever made
Like I said, on paper it's very nice, and probably better. But it's just not fun, and it's a pain to transform and is proportionally pretty weird. I still applaud it for downscaling the ROTF Leader so decently though.
is this a knock off?
There might be knockoffs of this toy floating around, but this one shown in the video is not.
