The G1 design is infinitely more iconic, it's evident why it was released under the "Lego Icons" theme. The problem you have with the set is THE selling point to the majority of fans.
What do you mean?
the selling point is that it's a clunky sub par version of g1 optimus and nothing more? his main issue is that its clunky and it seemingly makes compromises to have a real transformation. i agree with him, i would have LOVED a set that is g1 prime but also could be tfp prime, or even animated prime. if i do buy this set id build the official build but after a couple days id IMMEDIATELY build this one. your opinion has merit and i respect it but this comment seems mindlessly typed as a response without full comprehension
@@TJRedGB: Well, the original toy was also blocky, boxy and clunky and this is a representation of that specific toy, so...would you complain that an apple looks and tastes like an apple?
@@TJRedGB the alt build is nice but it cant transform, thats why they're called transformers, and thats my main gripe with the alt build. if you can name a compromise that the og build has to perfect the vehicle mode, then i'd gladly take them into consideration, but in my eyes this is the best optimus build out of the two.
I get why you don’t like the original model but the reasons you didn’t like it are the reasons why all of us G1 fans enjoy it so much. It’s incredibly accurate and the boxy look has a lot of charm and I think your re-design misses the point of that.
He didn’t redesign this someone else did
Not everyone is a G1 one fan.
Not all of us were born in the 80s.
Some people were born in the late '90s.
It stands to reason, that other people prefer a different styles.
@@rubenbbetancourt I agree, I actually prefer a lot of the different Optimus designs, though, I'm not a fan of this one. Despite that, I think gutting the transformation and then redesigning it to look like a different version of the character and proclaiming it to be better feels like missing the point. It's like rating the horsepower of a minivan to a muscle car. They are just trying to achieve completely different things. I'd argue this version is lesser because it attempts to achieve a lesser product than the original. I prefer designs like Armada's and Prime's, but I wouldn't say the Icons set was bad because it didn't achieve that specific version of the character.
I can agree
@@rubenbbetancourt I was not born in to 80s and I still like g1 prime
One of the main reasons people bought the sets is because it transforms. The fact that your model doesn’t transform would cause lots of people to think twice before taking apart their model and trying to mod it.
Maybe if they wanted a second or third set this would be interesting but that transformation plus the fact it’s the G1 design is already perfect
I like this comment because the only reason why people baught this set was because it Transform's which is pretty stinkin' cool to get a licensed product frowm two big company's
I actually did like the g1 design it’s simple and blocky but that’s how the show was it was fine as it was but you made look like the idw version I mean it looks cool but I just like the g1 design better
Facts
Yep
Fax
Yep g1 rules
Yep
I got to disagree on this.
Sure it looks cooler but that ez when you don’t need to worry about a transformation. And plus if I wanted a buildable Optimus figure that doesn’t transform I would just get the model kit it way better then this and cheaper.
I agree
agreed
Agreeee
What is this "Model Kit" and where can I get it? :)
@@asafhamtzany7068 there's a few, there's the furai model optimus prime model, then there's the yolopark x soskill earth mode optimus prime which is a similar size to the lego one
You Michael Bay’d it
Ah, so an improvement then :trol:
Nah he IDW'd it.
Nah he Yolopark'd it.
Nah. He transformers: earth sparked it
Definitely love how accurate to the IDW Prime's design this alternate build is, even more impressive that it doesn't use any outside parts from the set, but the complaint that the intended build is too boxy almost sounds oxymoronic considering that's literally what his G1 build is meant to be. He's supposed to be boxy. That may not be your preferred look for Prime, but that comes down to there being so many different iterations of the character, not whether or not the design was lacking.
The original design was perfectly fine. Heck, when i saw the thumbnail, i went "oh boy did this guy actually make God Ginrai" (one of the original Japanese interpretations of Optimus that wasnt Optimus) purely because of how... Unusually sleek the design was. Optimus has never been that sleek, even in IDW hes still quite boxy, and especially both the toy and original cartoon versions were VERYYYYY boxy. But thats the charm of Optimus. Hes a big strong brute that looks like he just wants to be your friend or that he could literally stand in as your own father. This design doesnt convey that very well, unlike literally EVERY OTHER VERSION OF PRIME. Even the Bayverse movies managed to make him look father-like by giving him a more aged and gentle appearance despite him going on multiple anger-fueled genocides. The blocky appearance makes him look friendlier, hence why so many people in the comment section are so attached to the G1 version, theres a hint of "this is who i want to look up to and have look after me" kind of feeling. This design, while sleeker and more God Ginrai than Optimus Prime, instantly loses all of that familiarity and special-ness for gaps, no Matrix of Leadership, and IT STILL DOESNT HAVE KNEE JOINTS!
Bruh don Figueroas prime design is the best outside of g1 easily
Strong disagree. My attachment is to the G1 Optimus, not more modern versions, so I'd much rather have the set as released. I like the idea of a highly detailed 2-in-1 set, but I still want it to be G1.
yeah same g1 looks the best this modern version is just not great in my opinion
I like this version and all, but the original is way better in my opinion. The original Optimus was boxy for a reason, it was based on G1 Optimus who IS very boxy. I prefer the original mainly because its more accurate than this Alt build. Optimus is a boxy character, which is why the Alt build isn't as good as the original, it makes him look sleek and slender (which he definitely isn't, he turns into a truck for christs sake). The OG Optimus is just way better, not even taking consideration of its transforming function. Good video nonetheless 👍
While it is true that Optimus was boxy in the cartoon, if you look at his animation model, he is a lot taller and more slender than Lego's representation. I don't think the boxyness is there for cartoon accuracy, even if pays some homage to the toy, I think it's their for the transformation gimmick. And I don't care much about said boxyness because I bought the set for the gimmick, and not its looks. For similar reasons, I don't care about the Thigh-wheels and bumper waist on Lego Optimus, despite these qualities normally being a turnoff for me on OP figures. I think OG Lego Prime is the best at being what it's supposed to be: a great and fun homage to the character and toy, but if you care more about display-ability and shelf-presence, the Ransom Fern alt build is a big improvement, even if it takes the slenderness to the extreme and is much more anime-esque stylistically.
@@maxmocs5008 that a fair point, I think his transforming gimmick makes it way better than the Alt build. Even if I'd never display him in truck form, I still prefer how OG Optimus looks
Sure its an awesome model and i think you did an awesome job, but isn't it the whole point of transformers that they well, transform?
*meanwhile action masters, most model kits, and statues*
@@darcepower5023 (the f are action masters?) you know what i meant
@@finnanimations1334 action masters are a subline of transformers that came out in 1990 and wouldn't transform, that would also come with a vehicle type battle platform thing. think of he-man toys but its optimus prime instead.
@@darcepower5023 oh yeah those guys, oh yeah, i do know them in that case, my bad
Hey
While I vastly prefer the G1 look, I do like that this is an option for those who want it.
But the only reason why people baught the figure was because it transforms so I see that being able to mod it as a useless point to me because anyone who is not into transformers baught this set because it has an inspiring character but also the first figure to be able to transform
I have so many problems with this mod honestly:
I don’t think that the trade offs are beneficial
I think if u really want the idw design, just get flame
toys
I think the transformation is the real selling point of the original, and taking that away just seems wrong
The boxy version is charming, transforms, and looks more g1, but this one is just absolutely gorgeous.
The only problem I saw with the original build is it had no knee bend but other than that, it's a great build for something that can actually transform
I would disagree
It’s waist is a major issue and that has lead to multiple critical failures
Complaining about the boxy G1 look is really strange since that IS the classic Optimus Prime look. However, I do like IDW and I approve of this alternate look too, but hey...don't say the G1 looks bad or doesn't work. That is the version that most fans want and appreciate.
Honestly, I will say that I by far prefer the original. A lot more people know the G1 design - why should the ONE Lego Optimus Prime be anything other than the most famous version of Prime? Sure it's more detailed, it looks great, but the original version has a sort of je ne sais quoi lol I guess that's not helpful but, yeah I would say if I got this figure, I would stick with the original. I'd probably try this version though, because it is definitely a good looking build!
The IDW version of Optimus Prime had dozens of different designs and bodies, most of which resembled the G1 iteration, as it was a G1 based continuity. Your design is based on the Flame Toys IDW Optimus, who...I don't remember ever actually being in the comic, it was just a cool dynamic Optimus design for their line of model kits. The end result feels a lot more generic than the original. Now, I wish the original had knees, sure-but that's the only addition I'd make as a Transformer's fan.
I mean, it's a transformer that transforms. That's great!
The flame toys design was actually used quite a bit in the idw transformers 2009 run especially in the later issues and in the earlier phase 2 comics. It’s an Alex milne design so it popped it in comics he did the art for. A lot of the flame toys figures take inspiration from the idw comics such as optimus, drift, megatron and rodimus.
Not true. Although the Flametoys figure shown was used as reference for this Lego design, the actual character design for Optimus was created by artist Don Figueroa and predates the Flametoys figure by almost a decade. Optimus Prime was first shown with this design in the IDW comics starting in the series "For All Man Kind" and retained it up until "More Than Meets the Eye #28," after which it was substituted with the Evergreen design, by Emiliano Santalucia. Also, to set the record straight, this isn't TommyCBrick's design. It was made by a builder named Ransom Fern.
He was in the comics, this was his design around 2009, I think.
Since you are unfamiliar with the design, I'll tell you where it came from. This is Don Figuroa's Optimus design. He appears this way at the end of All Hail Megatron Coda, also during The Transformers (2010), and also during MTMTE and even RID. I highly recommend these comics. You're missing out!
@@maxmocs5008 it actually first appears in the Coda to All Hail Megatron
It's good, like really good, but nothing tops G1
LEGO’s design is significantly better.
Yes The alternate build looks more pleasing, but the Lego build has more play features both would be good
Man you don't even have the new one, it's so much better its insane
@@twstudios8538 nah
Imo, Don Figueroa’s IDW Optimus Prime trumps G1 Prime with *no* competition.
all in all, cope
@@amedotmp4 how you gon say cope to an opinion
I like my Optimus more every time I come here to see what you have done to yours xD
Only the head needs modding imo, which I think the SleepyCow mod is perfect for - can still transform
Sleepycows head does not actually transform i watched the vid about it
I do like this build, but the OG is basically a perfect 1:1 for classic Optimus Prime. I don't know if I'd, without a doubt, know this is Prime the same way the base model is perfect
Love how this man presents the alt build ( that to my knowledge so far everyone's preferred the original) like it's absolutely incredible lol
tommy, if you wanted a non-transforming optimus that you build, you could have gotten oh, i dont know, one of the four model kits made by flame toys? not to mention complaining about g1 prime's boxy-ness is like complaining that a cow goes moo.
I get what you are saying with all of this. But you have to understand, this set was aimed for us 80s babies/90s kids that grew up with the cartoon. Majority of us are not IDW fans. And to be honest, for a moment I thought this was a Transformers Animated Prime...to which I don't understand people's fascination with that either lol
as a transformers for many decades, the IDW set is much more attractive to me. having the option to make either version makes this set now appeal to those who are attracted to the more iconic and classic g1 look or also to the IDW rendition of the character (and the IDW continuinity is considered by many transformers fans as the best continuity in the history of transformers). i ruled out buying this set until i saw the IDW version.
I don't know I like the G1 look way better
So if I bought the set, I could build this? All the pieces are in one Optimus set?
Yeah
I love the IDW TF comics (as you can tell from my pfp), and the Optimus design has always been one of my favorites. It’s so cool seeing it in Lego form!
This is cool
But the original build is better in my opinion
I don't think this looks better than the g1 design to me, I just prefer that a lot more and the fact it transforms and doesn't require parts forming makes it better to me
You need the set 3 times. 1 robot 2 truck 3 to transform.
I'm busy with robot version and there are more tips then the 5 modifications.
The truck also needs a lot of work to make it a lot better.
A lot of money for a set which is in both options not correct.
I hope that starscream will be better
- I only see the favourited comments being those of unquestioned praise for this design being better than the original, despite how subjective and contextual that is ie transformers vs non transformers, franchise nostalgia etc. Not even comments that disagree but still respect your preference and opinion are favourited
- As so many people have said, you've missed the point of the set, it's aimed at people who are either transformers fans which G1 is massive in or Lego fans who have a passing Knowledge of Transformers, and G1 is the most easily recognisable part of TF media (other than the movies I think)
- For transformers fans, this doesn't really help as it doesn't transform and fans don't like the OG show being discredited, and for Lego fans from what I've seen the build is behind a paywall (and there are many fans who've already made transformable G1 prime's with better articulation anyway) And for IDW fans, iron factory and MMC and others gotchu
- Deez nuts
As someone who fell in love with transformers through the movies this perfect
It’s beautiful and it makes me want the set to make this the model looks awesome I still crazy that this is an Alt build keep the amazing videos up
Something you probably should know about the transformers community is that most of us prefer the boxy g1 designs more than other designs, and that the non-transformable kreo sets where a sin. That said, I am glad you are happy with this alt build, that's the beauty of Lego, you can make whatever you want. Just saying most people probably will disagree with the things in this video.
Ngl i LOVE Kreo the sets were meh and the fact you had to build the alt mode is bad but it had so much charm and personality and the mini figs were amazing and cute.
Speak for yourself.
Stop being a G1 fanboy, the show was not even that good.
The kreo sets are fantastic.
As a gunpla builder, I would prefer something with more articulations and style.
Made this comment a while ago, wanted to come back and say that I don't mean any hate just reflecting what I've seen in the community. Kreo is pretty cool.
He's back!!
The original is honestly better, it’s more iconic, it transforms which is a big part of the character and it looks better.
Bought a second set and made this. Looks awesome next to G1 and Voltron. I’m amazed how this guys brain made this using only the G1 set. Sitting on a shelf, this is coolest looking of the 3.
I would like to see your optimus rebuild but in g1 style
Aaah yes all his iconic poses are done via waist and arm the most iconic pose uses knee movement
The IDW design is my favourite design for optimus and if the did something like that for the movies I would’ve been thrilled
G1 has the simplicity that makes it better, plus it can transform
If you want more detail (by sacrificing the transformation) you can go as far as building a live action model with all the details, but that wasn't the point of the model
6:42
Tommy: **bends Lego arm**
Optimus: GrAuAhhGhGh gotta cramp!
**collapses & injures his foot**
Yeah, yeah I can easily deny that. It’s decent, but in no way does it look better.
Also, 4:58 to skip the commercial.
What you do friend?! The G1 Legoversion is just perfect, in my oppinion one of the best sets of all time!❤
That looks amazing!
this guy also has another build based on G1 prime from the Bumblebee movie and it's equally amazing. He's got a bundle with both instructions on sale for $5 off.
Still love the G1 design and it still transforms with the original build
Looks cool but I would prefer a G1 design MOC like this model.
I just got my set yesterday, havnt even finished the base form. But I definitely wanna try this out
I would like to see someone try to adapt the Cybertron (Galaxy Force) Optimus Prime into Lego.
Ok that model is sick we need a tutorial on how to make the new Optimus prime out of the og and same with the new truck mode
now i wanna get lego prime just because of this alt build
Why are so many people complaining about the actual design to say it’s supposed to be a remake of the G1 toy and if anything the blocky Optimus prime is like the best one
Both versions are good.... and if you have enough money. But two to do this and have the g1 look. Maybe get a 3rd to try to a bayverse version?
Also reminds me of the flametoys optimus prime tho
This Optimus Prime model reminds me of Transformers energon.
This really makes me want to get the Optimus set.
I understand exactly what your saying, but the problem is there was already Lego Optimus prime that looked better made by kreo, but the problem was that it wasn’t really a transformer if it doesn’t transform. So when Lego released their Optimus it was awesome that it looked great and it transformed
Big fan of IDW designs, love this. Thanks
7:43 to quote Jobby the hong
Back lives matter
I’m a lifelong transformer fan, some people will hate me for this but I think THIS IS FRICKING AMAZING and probably LOOKS better than the original
I like your dedication, but I like fun more than cool.
I wasn’t going to get the optimus prime set but this is worth it you’ve convinced me
I’m not a g1 fan but this does seem a little disrespectful to them they love this because it’s nostalgic saying it’s “flat out better” is just denying that g1 exist at all
It’s amazing what people can do!
You need to get this model in Lego ideas
I like this set but for its price and how it acctually lookd im glad you made these mods
Bro this shit looks so fire brings me back to idw days fr!
The boxy version is so much better. It's a classic look and how I remember optimus from my childhood
I love this version
Looks incredible my dude
I'm wondering, if there's gonna be a Megatron Lego build. If not, then I'm kinda sad we won't have a close up with Prime.
It’s a very cool take, but I really love it as is. Maybe I’ll take a shot and try this out someday. I don’t know
PLEASE do a Harry Potter MOC again PLEASE!!
I don't like this design for what I think Optimus should look like but it's still cool and I can see why you enjoy it so much
I get what your saying... but if he doesnt transform...hes not a transformer.....hes a robot . Most of us who love optimus and are over 35 expect him to be boxy...its his look ...hes not a sports car hes a truck......i dunno just my 2 cents....i will say he looks really cool and i admire your creativity❤
I like the g1 because its the og, but DANG... you build looks cool
Could you make a video where you show us how to improve the groot set
Underated youtuber
Yea imma disagree on most of it. This is def meant to be just a G1 prime and its done really well for a (almost) no parts forming transformer. But i will say i still like the IDW version but i cant say it looks better than the G1.
I’m definitely building this
Looks awesome
optimum pride is really looking good
Are there instructions for this alt build. Might ending up just building this one if I buy the Optimus prime model
Your idw model is great but the boxy look is not just a thing with the g1 toy .-. Its kinda Optimus's whole thing in the show
I wonder if someone out there made the 2007-2011 live action Optimus prime cause that one was my favorite live action Optimus
Not everyone is a G1 one fan.
Not all of us were born in the 80s.
Some people were born in the late '90s.
It stands to reason, that other people prefer a different styles
I mean g1 is still the original design and the most widely used and well known. I grew up with bayformers but g1 is still Optimus prime and will always be him even if you prefer other designs.
Looks like a Transformers Prime Optimus. It was was good show and that is a great moc. I'd rather have a Bayverse Optimus but Lego now have almost infinite possibilities with the Transformers license
I can just imagine what you could do with 5 Lego Optimus'!
The design is more likely based off of the classics legends class optimus prime as this figure charts the same basic transformation, articulation (barring head and hands) and was designed by the same person
So I have zero opinion on either of the two models, g1or IDW, seeing as to how I grew up with the bay verse movies instead of the other two but I also know what the g1 optimus looks like and I do like it alot but this model does look good as well once again not ignoring the g1 comment you made but the g1 look is a lot more Iconic for optimus prime hence the reason it is under the icons name
I prefer the G1 design. Except the head. Which I will modify. Also put knee joints in so my version is 1cm taller and more posable with full transformation!!!
And yes I do feel smug!
Look how they massacred my boy
Ya lost me when you admitted 'still no knees' ;)
0:18 bro, it’s G1 Optimus Prime, He’s nothing but BOXES
i love this lego set
I think both are nice tbf. Although I'm purely observing through pictures/vids bcos I can't fork out £150 for Optimus as much as I'd like to :( from looking at reviews and stuff though, I can't really say that I think it justifies a £150 price tag
"But you can't deny that this version of Optimus Prime looks a hell of a lot nicer than the boxy version" Mmmmmm but I think I can though!
Nice IDW Optimus
