Why Does Hasbro Refuse To Make Mainline Deluxe Class Optimus Primes | #transformers DOTM Deluxe Optimus - Розваги
Hasbro refuses to do a lot of things *cough cough fix the yellow plastic issue* but at least they make nice toys. I think they do do some stuff in cheaper classes for the sake of just being able to get it like the warrior class stuff but it's really only for TV shows, wish we got some for g1, the movies, comics, etc.
According to tfwiki with the yellowing issue : "Hasbro has attributed this issue to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic making it difficult for them to send dedicated quality control agents to their factories in Vietnam."
Tbh if bandai made TF figures plastic quality wouldn't be a problem

What cought cought fix yellow you talking about
With the way the classes have been shrinking in size over the years, all you have to do is wait a little longer for "leader" class to be the same height as what we used to call "deluxe" class 10 years ago.
Design-wise, it’s great! The problem is when the price doesn’t lower for the leader turned deluxe…
Hasbro had to make the toys a good size for houses. If you have The Whole first movie autobot collection that’s probably taking 1 foot of space but back than it was bad and un affordable
@@fizzcat3321 plus they’re mostly more posable now
@@microwaveablegun9183 I’m an idiot I meant to comment that on the video not this guys comment
@@Caymand29 no you’re not, I make mistakes like that all of the time 😂
The thing is in lines like earthspark, the rotb mainline or cyberverse they do have deluxe versions of the main characters. It’s really just a mainline thing
If you want to get this mold, They resell this specific mold at universal Hollywood so if you go on holiday and go to universal you can get this guy for around $30
do they sell it at a different place like amazon i live in turkey i want this guy so bad
BTW, he works very well with Studio Series Lockdown (to me at least)
Never thought of that. Pretty neat
That's neat, though Prime should be quite bigger than Lockdown
I have the AOE silver version of this mold and I really hope to track this one down sometime, something that doesn't smudge and get covered in fingerprints.
What was with AoE and silver chrome?
I have no clue. The color scheme certainly had absolutely nothing to do with anything we saw from Prime in "Age of Extinction."
4:13 ruby barking at something (probably nothing) is something I can relate. My dog does the same exact thing constantly. At one point she saw a bag caught on a tree branch right outside the window and just wouldn't stop growling at it lol.
Love the video
She's adorable
I kind of fell in love with the effective simplicityof Deluxe DOTM Optimus when i got that overly chrome one in a two pack with FOC Grimlock from AOE (So many wild repaints and repacks then werent there?) Movie Optimus can be so complex sometimes... so its a nice desk toy to transform back and forth!
Same here and I feel like it's slightly more stable? If you get it in the right A-stance it doesn't automatically fall over. Don't nudge him tho :p
Guess what we're getting now :3
I'm not a huge scale nut. I just like my toys to scale with how I prefer them to. I don't care if Waspinator is supposed to be bigger, I like how small his Kingdom toy is.
I would honestly love characters in different size classes in the same lines again. I really hope the upcoming Legacy Animated Optimus is a small voyager, and that they make a Leader Animated Megatron in the future that dwarfs him, since I've always loved the size difference between the two in that show.
Animated will be interesting to see because if they keep the scale the same, Prowl should go up to the beginning of his Autobot logo on his left shoulder. So I will be curious to see if they keep the scale like that and if they keep the Decepticons like say Starscream way taller than the Autobots.
The Deluxe mold of Animated Optimus from the "The Battle Begins" 2-pack and Leader Megatron scale so well and accurate! That's the main reason why I prefer that Deluxe Optimus over the Voyager mold, it scales nicely with most of the entire Animated line!
@@COMBOY SAME that was my childhood Optimus toy
I love that all decepticons were monster sizes in animated
@@thomasjohnson1885 I liked that Optimus, too, but didn’t he have “battle damage”? It’s kind of a pet peeve of mine, if the only figure has “damage” you can’t hide or remove. Especially since that Optimus had a cool vehicle mode. 👍
This is the only transformers figure that survived my childhood, the joints are super loose now, but to this day the thing is still in pretty reasonable condition for the time
This was my first ever prime, and even with the floppy arms and legs it holds a special place in my heart. Had so much fun with it.
Got the silver knight repaint of this figure on ebay for £5. I absolutely agree they need more primes at this scale, honestly never seen any of your videos before but this video has made me want more. So I'll be sure to watch now. Editing is brilliant, and you are actually funny
Besides the Minicons being the main reason I got so many legends/legion/deluxe/cyberverse, and now Core. Lass, the fact they were easier to get when I was younger made it fun because I was able to get so many!.❤
I can relate - 84/85 G1 small robots started out at a few bucks. So, I bought them in 3s. So much fun… I like Target doing $7.50 Core, but it’s not all of them…
I have him, but in a pretty chrome
He came with a g1 colored WFC/FOC Grimlock from the AOE toyline
I’m 18 now and I remember having this Optimus and another with like a clear orange battle axe that turned into a gun too (fire burst Optimus prime)
Good times😭
I got one of these in Tenerife years ago for pretty cheap and I was so happy to finally have a trailer!
Sadly the trailer only works with him, and I THINK mine is a KO? The plastic feels…weird, and I worry it’s fragile, but I also got Titans Return Blurr and Sentinel Prime (which were new at the time from the same shop) and they felt fine, the box and everything seemed fine, it’s always been so weird to me.
Also I think mine opens like a traditional trailer with 2 doors which makes it EVEN WEIRDER! It was sealed in a authentic looking box, it’s an enigma to me
I feel like loose joints are just a problem with this figure for everyone lol. I owned both they original and the chrome AOE version of this guy, and they both had horribly loose joints even after I tightened them
I lowkey love this figure. I had the Walmart exclusive version of Prime cause I couldn't afford the Voyager or Leader one and later the Movie Trilogy one with the trailer. I'd say he still holds up today as a great figure. Figure has six ports so you can load him with some firepower if you wanted to and the transformation is REALLY simple and best part is he looks good in both robot and vehicle. (yes the front of the truck becomes a backpack in robot but it doesn't bother me plus it's lightweight so it won't affect posing).
I actually had mine use the Arms Micron Prime toys as his weapons (they were a small version of TFP Optimus that transformed into a gun)
Great video! I think my nephew has him. Great toy! So, G1 Bumblebee/Cliffjumper had terrible heels, and fell over all the time. I used to slip a standard paper clip under their heels - yeah, they lean forward a little, but then stand OK.
The arms going to the back cab reminds me of the 2007 leader class bay Optimus
The Lunar Fire repaint of this is one of my childhood favorite figures. The Mechtech canon I gave to the Studio Series 15th anniversary Prime for my current display.
I had an orangey/firey walmart exclusive (i think???) deco of this mold, and he looked neat, but the combination of the backpack, the lack of heels, and my copy had a real problem with loose legs at the ball joints which only made him fall over more
i feel the cyberverse deluxes were a good step in the right direction, with earthspark and rise of the beasts both getting their respective deluxe lines
I really keep forgetting that you also like Pacific Rim, up until I see the rare occasion where a figure is present in the background.
i would like if the whole line was scale down, like we move deluxe characters to legends/core class and go on up and repeat with Leaders as voyagers and so on
I used to have that figure, but as time passed, I lost both the figure and the trailer (lost the trailer years after I lost the figure itself). If I bought this figure, I'd throw away the figure in a storage cabinet somewhere and use the trailer for the Volvo Optimus Prime.
I had this optimus and that trailer for so long it's very nostalgia to me
Mine not only has the backpack issue but just can’t stand because the ball joints have become so weak
adore your intros man. keep it up
This is 34 seconds old, I just happened to click on the community tab
glad to hear that they make the figures more or less to scale. if they made primes etc as deluxe i'd like to have some sort of naming convention or so to tell me which scale a figure is so i can get the correct ones to display them. atm i'm just hoping that the studio series, legacy and kingdom wfc more or less fit together
Actually Hasbro recently started this trend again with ROTB mainline Optimus. You can find a review here on UA-cam.
This was one of my first Optimus Prime figures as a kid and I loved it so damn much
I owned the Lunarfire variant which was a Walmart exclusive and came with a recolor of Voyager DOTM Primes’ blaster so much better. Now I know the best release of this is in between the Movie Trilogy and the Chronicles version. This was a good deluxe prime for its time alongside Generations Pax and the WFC video game primes. We don’t talk about the other classics Prime XD
i had this figure as a kid and honestly wish i could get my hands on one now for nostalgia
God I remember going to target or toys r us if I remember correctly and picking this guy up because the concept of Optimus having his trailer included was always giddy for young me loved him so much the good ol days thanks again for tickling the nostalgia bone yet again haha
i remember owning this kid and was inloved with it. too bad the legs on mine was loose and completely lost the toy in bits. i still have its left leg on my shelf
I got this exact model because my parents showed me a picture of this figure with the trailer included, and I thought it was the Ultimate Optimus Prime. I was still surprised at how good it was and I enjoyed it until it broke because of age.
i wish for the studio series had used the basic engineering of this prime's legs and obliviously tweaked it a little to help clean up the rear end in truck mode.
I love your Editing😊
Bruh i miss this figure so much especially when i was a huge fan of optimus and dotm when i was 3 to 5 and i hated myself for so many years because of dumb child me losing its limbs and trailer and now its just a torso with one leg
I have the 2 pack TLK version, along with the protoform prime. both surprisingly good, also an extremly weird exclusive from a very small toyline all things considered
ehehehe the title is a bit inaccurate now, but eh- the deluxe were getting is a...special, case
I have the same optimus prime and i bought it at universal studios, the alt mode is great, but the arms in robot mode in my copy are loose as heck, and sometimes don't even tab in, but it's a good toy
Same here. I got mine in Orlando last spring
I remember getting the figure back then at my local K-Mart and on my copy, the legs were loose
“Spine, spine, spine,I’m skipping with your spine
Spine spine, spine. Once was yours, now it’s mine” - Optimus Prime, Age of Extinction
This honestly is the most satisfying transformation ive seen on a peterbilt prime, god damn.
This optimus prime is one of the reasons why I didn't get the SS optimus, back when I hated faux parts, now I'm just tired arguing about it. This figure uses actual truck windows and it's much simpler to transform, even the truck mode is clean.
I've seen reviews on how SS44 is fiddly to transform. And the trailer on that figure was disappointing because it wasn’t able to deluxe figures in them.
Since I already have mainline DOTM Optimus, I've been thinking about seeing if I can get this trailer separately, and get the jet pack upgrade kit as well. That way I don’t spend too much money.
I realize it's been a few months, but I'm genuinely curious if any of the Studio Series Optimus figures can also haul this trailer
There's a deluxe of Earthspark Optimus coming this year.
My friend let me have his and the only problem with it is that the hips are so loose you can move them by blowing on them
I have one that came with the mech tech weapon but the head is stuck and one of the mushroom pegs in the thigh snapped off but it is still fun to mess with and I really like the deco of it.
oh and it has a gold paint on it that looks real cool. and the paint on the hip ball joints are gone so its real loose. but i fixed the problems that i had.
I had the sliver version 2 pack with FOC Grimlock (weird combinbation but ok) the arm just came off one day no off the balljoint but the ENTIRE balljoint and arm
I've got the answer to your problem wheel turns down to give stability I think let me know by the way love the channel 👍.ps where did you find that one.
I remember when it was hard to get characters in size-classes *other* than Deluxe. We had likes like the War for Cybertron videogame toys where everyone was a Deluxe regardless of what size they really should be, including important characters like Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave (although Soundwave got an upscaled toy later in the Fall of Cybertron line.) I wouldn't have minded so much if Hasbro wasn't also so dead-set against providing smaller characters like Prowl and Wheeljack in sub-deluxe sizes. The Deluxe versions of major characters were often pretty good toys in their own right (the FoC Shockwave is still my favourite version of the character) and Hasbro showed in the RotF line that it was perfectly possible to make great toys in Scout size, but Hasbro refused to allow people to have small but scale-accurate collections for ages.
I just started the video and see Quillfire, just to remember that mine has broken parts and a missing arm.
I absolutely adore this figure, I have the Universal exclusive version and the TLK two pack one.
The reaspn i think prime and megs are in voyager is scale. because theyre not as short as characters like wheeljack neither are they as tall as characters like ultra magnus. So theyre put in voyager
I honestly have no idea when DOTM released this one. Only remember seeing the solar paneled voyager, and the one with the enormous transformable trailer. Robot mode here isn't exactly great, but truck mode/trailer fares a lot better than any of the studio series voyagers with the exception of the Bumblebee one. Interesting too that this is a deluxe when it sizes about the same as most of the Studio series voyagers as the trailer looks about right for earthrise. Also deluxes here in Canada are about $35 already so outside of Core not all that affordable opposed to the $15 they were about 10+ years ago.
What hasbro should do is repack some figures, for example, the earthrise prime, but whitout the trailer at voyager price point like the siege one
The arm transformation reminds me of the G1 Powermaster Prime
BRO I REMEMBER THAT ONE DUDE I LOST ITS ARM WHEN I WAS LITTLE
I remember having this optimus when I was younger and I still remember how the legs on mine were extremely loose but I loved the shit outa that toy
I really with the used these legs on studio series. Retooling ss44 with it would of been really good
I have the universal version which is just the dotm retail one and time has not been kind to his joints. But seeing the darker plastic on this one makes me want to track it down and give the old one a rest
Some day in the future, leader class figures will be as big as the revoltech bumblebee
This aged well
I've always wanted to see the head of this optimus prime or the battle blades optimus on the ss optimus body
Got that Prime for $20 complete with package in 2013. I'll never regret it! 👍
Do your's arms pop off easily? My original does, and I got the walmart exclusive, and that one does as well.
2024 Tf One Optimus Prime, Am I a Joke To You?
I think this guy would fit really well with the core class bumblebee
I actually own the Universal Studios exclusive version of this figure, and i just broke off the truck front off his back. Now he can stand no problem
And this doesnt hinder the transformation, yes it does give you partsforming, but if you're someone who doesnt mind partsforming, like me, then i recommend doing this
I had the original light gray deluxe Optimus
Yo this was one of my first ever transformers figures! Yeah the legs kinda sucked cause of the ball joints and lack of heels, but I remember it was one of my favorites.
TTG's most haunted episode. trailer rattling dogs barking, next video a ghost shows on the video.
:o he got a pacific rim thing? we need a stop motion of that. immediately if thats ok.
Back in 2017, I was in Singapore Universal Studios and my mom bought me this toy because I wanted it so bad. Since I was a dumb, stupid kid, I always break my toys and I ragdolled the heck out of the Optimus Prime toy. Till this day, The only remaining parts it has is the torso and head :(. I regret doing such a small but bad mistake.
anyone know what energon swords he's using on this prime? would like to add it to mine
the deluxe is actually in scale with DOTM Voyager Megatron
I think you they still sell the base version of this figure at Universal Studios along with the DOTM Bumblebee. Correct me if I’m wrong tho
i think i just found a old toy i had when i was a young child :0
I think I had this one when I was a kid
That video title aged like milk
i own both toys r us tlk version and silver knight and i gotta say hes a fun boi
I like the intro, lolz...
Right now I only have that small legends scale movie shockwave and coronation starscream in my collection... anyone have anything they can trade
$2 for both.
@@IAmPrincipality dude I'm so broke I'd absolutely take u up on that :(
That truck and trailer looks scale accurate to the real things. They could of had a fold out part off the side of the leg for heels though this was part of the made cheaper cost more that really hurt the overall brand sales. So Hasbro then decided to double down and I am not sure at how many cheaper made higher priced times we are at now... a lot. The trailer I get its to be as hollow aka less plastic as possible but have a solid joint connection while skipping on qc for the 1/2's to lint up properly due to warping in the cooling stage of the plastic. If you want a example check out the legs of the old classics seekers about alignment issues.
"Make the most important toys the expensive ones" omg that really was the transformers experience for ages especially during the Unicron Trilogy. No way my parents going to get me a $50 Optimus or Megatron thats a foot tall and chock full of lights, sounds and other gimmicks.
Movie prime is basically just robot doomguy but he says he’s chill
well, at least for Earthspark line we have megatron and optimus in warrior and deluxe class
Funnily enough they rereleased this guy without the trailer as an Universal exclusive with a spring out axe thingy
That's just a straight rerelease of the original DOTM toy.
I feel like they should have a series of slightly smaller scale Transformers. Like, they could make voyagers into deluxes, deluxes into cores, etc.
I mean, if they did this as a special line, it would be cool…
I have this thing, and let me tell ya this. The legs are so loose that not even tightening it up with glue made it any less looser.
Using glue, floor or nail polish ruins the ball joint, it's a different material, stuff tissue into the socket and boom it's fixed
Dude, I know how you feel, I used to have that Prime when I was in my teens back then, it was good, but realized that it suffered from mold degradation a few years later, it might have worked better if the plastic used for the legs didn't self destruct at the thighs after a few years, this is why the original mold had been used so much, I think Hasbro has mostly learned make their figures better, and in some cases, it's not always true due to the QC issues plaguing a lot of their toys, believe me, I've suffered from this problem a lot from the figures I owned and lost over the years.
At least Hasbro is starting to understand what's going on, we know about the QC issues, or not, depending on how you look at it.
I used to put my Lego guys on the trailer and pretend they were having a concert
I like this prime because i have such a fond memory of going to buy this with my dad
that prime has the most mcdonalds toy quality paint job ive ever seen on a transformer
I have the original light silver version I bought years ago in Walmart. Not my favorite Optimus but its still a nice deluxe. This dark grey version looks way better for sure.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE TELL WHERE YOU GOT HIS CANNON & SWORD FROM IN 0:22 PLEASE!!!!!
