- It's like a model kit for people with no patience
Show Notes:
I'm a little torn on this one
On one hand, I'm trying new things. Slightly different format, a different lighting style. But it all feels uncohesive and I see less of my vision in this episode. I guess maybe I need a long hard think about the visual style I'm trying to convey.
On the subject of the toy, I kinda wasn't too enthused to do this review. Lego is a bit out of my wheel house; I really mostly did this video because I didn't have anything else to do and it was just convenient that it was coming out when it did.
I don't even like Lego that much honestly. They canceled the Osprey and that did them in for me. They pander to everyone else, but I can't have my super cool VTOL plane cause its "military adjacent".

I can attest that the lack of knees is definitely intentional. The vast majority of Lego mechs no longer have them due to stability concerns. Probably why the people who love this kit the most tend to be Lego purists vs TF collectors. But I’m both so I’m good either way.
Yeah exactly my point!! Its not impossible but definitely due to the size of the set I can see why they didn’t
@@Gei4Mei By the way, do you want to get Fanshobby Naval Commander so you can have a Armada Optimus Prime?
This is why I'm in favor of smaller, maybe less detailed sets of transformers with better articulation so that they wouldn't also be completely oversized compared to the minifigs. bonus points if they also transform.
Preach about them minifigs PREACH. You've opened my eyes to solving the general negativity around the axe. Gotta love how all promotional work and packaging feature the stickers that are supposed to go on his legs upside down. Knees like the Titan Mech has are still so rare these days, so Optimus not having them does not surprise me.
You're outdoing so many seasoned LEGO reviewers with the quality of this review.
Well thank u lol
5:10 I know it’s not strictly accurate but I think it actually looks pretty cool with his jetpack mounted back there.
It does fit there a lot better than I expected it to
I shelled out $220 CAD for this guy and I absolutely love it. Sure it might just be a branded novelty to reach a wider market, but it still has great qualities. It dwarfs anything I currently own, sticks out on my display, and overall is a great set.
Yeah its impressive, wish I had a place to put mine in my living room, so he’s just gonna go in my office
If we got a Lego Optimus Prime
we better get a Duplo Megatron.
Would probably look better, wouldn't be too difficult
What about Mega Blocks Megatron??
Another great review. You mix fun and information so extremely well.
I try my best, thank u 😊
When little brother walks in:
Little brother: onii Chan let me play with your Lego Optimus prime!
Big brother: shut up! and go play with your kreo Optimus prime!
Yeah! Make him play with the knock off!!
I did not want to get this before
After watching this I still don't want to get it
Great video, 8/5, too much aqua
I just got her, so I wanted to feature her!
as someone who can't afford scalping prices, I appreciate the new xwings every year type sets
Did u get Porkins doe?
@@Gei4Mei no, I have 4 luke skywalker pilots tho with the 20th snowspeeder, 20th figure, ucs atat, chinese knockoff of the 2007 ucs atat I got with honey cash back from the 2021 ucs
I have been wanting this set ever since I was a little kid and new that Lego and Transfomers were a thing....Hopefully since they have done this and brought back Lego Indiana Jones they could bring back LEGO SpongeBob and Lego Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
It’s going to look good next to my original MP Prime.
Very nice review.
You gave a good argument for the lack of knees that I didn’t think of.
Also I think you can add a blue dot part in the center of the matrix.
I’ll have to see if I can, I might not have the pieces for it
Actually one I saw one Lego review on RUclips in which the dude said this is the actually one of the most accessible g1 Optimus primes he could find in his country.
I don't remember the RUclipsr though...
Well yeah, sometimes I don’t really clarify that I speak from a hardcore fan perspective and in a circumstance like that maybe it is a more tempting option
Knees was a dealbreaker for me. Don't care bout that stability shit, I want to do poses.
That was the whole point of the video!!! Lmao 😆
Lego Optimus Prime!👀 does this mean we'll get a Lego Transformers Game someday just putting it out there😉
Kinda doubtful, it sucks that theres no Lego Dimensions anymore
As a Lego Fan Optimus is something I want because I am a fan of both. if I didn’t like lego or Transformers I wouldn’t get this.
Well have fun!!
Banger post as always 😌
Thank u my fren ☺️
I'm Happy this set exists. Looks so good. Building will take hours but that doesn't worry me. I don't mind that the knees aren't articulated.
I even had my puppy biting and bothering me and I finished it in probably under 4 hours
Good to see I'm not the only one to simply refuse using stickers.
0:11 That calendar art lmao....
What? What about it 👀
@@Gei4Mei A fellow man of art I see ^-^
Tbh, I'm just waiting to see how people get around this
Also there are unofficial military brick building sets on the internet if you haven't checked
I wouldn’t mind a few of those lol
that calendar
What about it 👀
There is a (idk the official lego term) plus shaped slot in where the feet are in vehicle mode. If you're ok with it just kinda. Sticking upwards. You can put the energon axe there.
I’ll have to look for it, I’m not specifically where you mean 🤔
The axle rod/beam adapter
I really want this set so bad, it's just hard having a Lego and transformers collection cause I don't have a lot of money :( but this is something I want so bad cause Optimus will always be my favorite. Great video I appreciate the content :3
Just watch out for sales, Amazon has Lego sales all the time!
Get it in the next 2 years. Once it’s out of production, expect the price to double on ebay
Who's going to tell him the tires are made of rubber
Are they 😳
Woah woah woah ey ey ey what is that sussy calendar
Nah don’t worry about it bro 👀
I would've loved an Optimus mini figure
That’s what I’m saying! I think they didn’t include one on purpose honestly
It was influenced from the Original G1 Optimus Toy, not the Masterpiece figure
I’m just saying I think there’s definitely some inspiration taken from it 🥺
I hope since they have made a Lego Optimas Prime set they can do the same with Megatron or give us set's with Minifigures like what we got with the Lego Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's line
I didn’t say in the video, but I’m a little skeptical. Most of the cons are military vehicles which is a no-no for Lego
@@Gei4Mei They will probably make Megatron a Si-Fi Tank or Jet and they will make it non earth-like as possible I mean Megatron is too iconic of a character to skip out on...Plus with the military vehicle in LEGO Minifigures been revealed in new Avatar theme anything can happen
knees, i understandm and your points do highlight legos understanding and forsight, but when it comes to transformers, one of my favorite things is to put them into fantastical or ridiculous poses. Losing that just, thats a huge miss for me.
Thats why I had to cover it, its the biggest contention I see TF fans having. I’m offering my own explanation more than anything, and also why it should be possible 🤔
*HA! Ha! ha! Sideswipe jet pack!* 😂
i noticed you used a custom head piece! did you customize it yourself or bought a custom head made by someone?
Its a custom design that you can almost make with just the pieces from the set! I think I put a link in the description to the modeler who created it
Where you get that calendar,asking for a friend.
Amazon lol
9:23 Is no one else going to mention this "addition"?
i think youll appreciate this lego transformer ruclips.net/video/IGpj_9CqV8w/видео.html & heres the building instructions in case any one wants to build that lego transformer ruclips.net/video/KrCFfy0h8qM/видео.html .
please share how remove the gap between his eyes and mouth piece please. looks so much betterrrrrr
Gotta watch the whole video to find out 😳
@@Gei4Mei ah silly me xD
My man cave is gone or should I said being mostly used as a garage
This is your call to reclaim the space
@@Gei4Mei my Karen aunt lived there and there so much hoard become my Grandma and Grandpa are are hoarder
The only thing that is mine in that garage is the sign my uncle made for me for the man cave
(6:05) What Lego set is that?
71738 NINJAGO Zane's Titan Mech Battle, I bought it cause it looked like a Gundam. Its pretty sweet
@@Gei4Mei Thank you
I still want it
Its a good set, you will like it
9:22 WHY?!?!?!?
Don’t tell anyone about what you saw here today 😈
@@Gei4Mei ...
0:10 Lovely Hana Uzaki calender! Plus Prime Month fits so well with Pride Month, ngl.
Speaking of which, now you gave me an idea to do a review of all the Primes I have. Including official, 3rd and 4th party, if that's ok with you if I do it as well as shout out to your channel?
Other than this long comment, great video and excellent editing and lighting, as well as bringing content.
Oh yeah if u want lol thanks for the kind words
When will Lego prime fight the dinosaurs from the Lego Jurassic park set
I didn’t open it yet so I dunno
what about being 42 and inviting Bros over to watch Obi-Wan?
Oh yeah thats fine lol
And that’s Jazz not sideswipe.
Speaking of prestige value of a brand, i believe Lego separated the creator expert line into 2: the first being mostly about lego orginal sets and the other called "icons" which as the name suggests is centered around pop culture or recognizable stuff made into lego especially if its 18+, the better examples of this are the big star wars ships, the helmet replicas, the mjolnir and lightsaber replicas, the NES and Atari 2600 replicas, the Super Mario question block with Mario 64 based dioramas and the upcoming buildable bowser figure.
And BTW, the witwickys would be perfect if bumblebee is eventually made since his smaller size and henche, smaller piece count
But which ones the comic Witwickys or the cartoon Witwickys 😳
@@Gei4Mei i was thinking more of the cartoon witwickys because i haven't read the comics
9:21 ayo what is that 🤨
What?
The blue and gray tube he means i think
@@Gei4Mei pipi
Why is your name gei4mei?
Lol what about people who love tf and love lego yu forgot talking about those people lol im one of then both things are my childhood
Same but I pride myself on being objectively critical 😤
Yeah lol thanks for the fast answer even Tho this video is a month old yu still bothered to answer 😊😊
There are a lot of errors.
Spittin with that white women comment
I know, I know 😫
its been over a year and...i still fucking hate this set with every fiber of my being lol
If there was ever an arch-enemy in my life itd be Lego Optimus Prime
Him or Robosen
Meh, I don’t think I touched mine since this video
nice prime month joke
I had a longer version, but I felt it was too distracting
You mean pride month and it is on 1st June.
0:07 ew
No ew 😭
@@Gei4Mei GayShat
sadly it came in pride month
Be happy it came out at all 😔
