I have this one arriving in a few days and I’m really looking forward to it because I can’t bring myself to open a MIB G1 reissue, but will have no compunctions about tearing up a Legacy United package to have a G1 Prime rolling around my desk. 🥰
Another option: the trailer from SS44 DotM Jetwing Optimus Prime. It's tiny enough that it looks great with this mofo. And hilariously enough, the weapons platform mode also looks pretty sick with G1 Universe Optimus in robot mode.
Fantastic review of the Transformers Legacy United G1 Universe Optimus Prime! The details are amazing, and your insights really bring the figure to life!
I have both Missing Link Optimus Primes and still bought 2 Legacy G1 Optimus Primes to have one in each mode. Definitely a fun desk bot to play around with.
@@peaugh I just found out yesterday that the matrix from Kingdom/Legacy Galvatron will fit in the Legacy G1 Optimus chest. An upgrade from the unpainted blue one he has.
I had to sand the holes in his hands to make the holes a bit bigger because the axe and rifles required some effort for me to plug them into the hands. Really really snug.
All these retro Optimus Primes make no sense to me. Like watching movies on a VCR. When I was a kid, I'd look at a G1 Prime and think, "One day, they'll be able to make Transformers toys that are a lot more like they look in the cartoons." Now we're there and everyone's looking backwards. I don't get it. But hey...to each their own.
Making him smaller than ML? Ok sure that's an option for budget. Making him out of different material than ML? Sure. Giving him less articulation than ML? Ok. But doing all of those and maybe MORE? No that is too much. Choose one. Surely that can bring the budget down enough. This really just feels like they tried to save as much without making it seem like a knock off. In a way, they made their own knock off quality ML.
This figure is going to be the perfect desk toy.
I’ve been taking mine around with me places. Fits into my pocket just perfectly, fun to take out and transform from time to time, nice to roll around
Despite his wee size, I am very excited to grab this guy. Love the idea, but purchasing Missing Link just ain't for me. This guy will do great

I wouldn't mind if they continue making g1 update figures in the deluxe size class
I’m old enough to remember when the only thing in Optimus’ chest was his fists.
One thing I don't miss, if only so they don't get lost.
They should do a seeker jet.
I would actually like to see that.
All the retro charm with modern day articulations. I love it!
I'm a simple man. I see a new Peaugh video, I like.
Works for me, and thanks!
Great Video! My pre-order just processed today, and my 86 SS arrived today/
Awesome! Enjoy both!

Have fun!
Fits perfectly with Earthrise trailer though the tyres don't match.
I gave mine the trailer the moment I got him
I will have to dig mine back out and try that!

@DragoonMS Ooh, I have that one too. Haven't tried it yet. Will try as soon as I get home.

He's a tiny cute version of G1/Missing Link Prime. He's perfect.

It really is.

cool updated version of the classic toy
I love this as an alternative to the more expensive Missing Link G1 Optimus.
Transformers One is still in theaters in my area.
Yeah, it came out later in some places.
@@peaugh I'm in Texas.
I hope we get a version that has the blue eyes, because I'm just not a fan of the yellow eyes...
I like the yellow eyes from time to time.
I got mine from Amazon and it should arrive on Halloween 🎃 .
All treat, no trick!
Good review sir.
Thank you kindly!
This is my favorite toy for 2024.

...or a spudger...

I would get him if only he was the same size as OG G1 Prime. Especially at the price point this guy is selling at.
Glorified core class figure

yeah, it's neat as a little one-off though. I will say the actual G1 mold is getting a little worn out seeing like 4 different releases this year.
Fifth wheel!
Ah! I knew it was something like that.
Megatron is not able to get the same treatment unfortunately.
Yeah, that's just how it is these days.
Ironic he doesn't have wrist swivels. Accidental or not, it was a modern thing G1 Prime did give ya.
