I love this figure! I really hope we see more G1 Universe figures similar to the Missing Link figures. I'd really like to see a G1 Universe Megatron that looks like the G1 Toy in Robot Mode but turn into a Tank for Alt Mode. An Ultra Magnus using this figure as a Core Robot would be cool to see too. Great review though!
@TMan978 in the past year I got both missing links, the new Masterpiece, the reissue Power of the Primes, reissue Bumblebee OP Masterpiece and Yolopark.
Between Missing Link and Legacy, it's a trade-off, but it looks like Legacy offers just a little bit more IMO. This is going on my shopping list. Also, love the new transformation music!
super fun toy, lot smaller than i expected in hand (smaller than a carbot) and the legs had some trouble tabbing out of the box, but well worth the price funny to have him and 86 side by side
Getting mine in apparently January. While I already have a TRU Commemorative, and G2 Prime, this is a really fun take on the original G1 toy aesthetic. Simple, affordable, and a great collection of accessories. Really like the hand reveal at this smaller scale.
That's what kept me from buying more Transformers back then, i wanted them to have more articulation. This one looks really good, hopefully it will come my way.
Great review, cool to see you're more positive about the figure (a lot of people seem dissapointed), I'm still hyped for this figure. Definitely getting it when it's out in the UK 👍.
Hmm... I'd say the Newage for the Autobots in this Legacy Deluxe Prime's scale, and Magic Square for the Decepticons, even though the Magic Square Decepticons from Season 1 are about an inch shorter than the Legacy Prime here.
This will probably be way more common (at least at physical retail) than the 86 Optimus, And maybe it means Quake (who I want despite his imperfections) will be easy to get. Deluxe Optimus looks like great fun to fiddle with or sit on a desk while 86 Optimus lives in display. I expect them to make it into the Ultra and Delta Magnus cab robots at the least, maybe pack the Earthrise trailer in black (like G2 Optimus trailer) somewhere....
There's only 2 things I don't like about it. The size is smaller than I would have liked. And the chest/windshield sticking out a little compromised the alt mode a little bit for no good reason that I can tell. I even cancelled my preorder because of it. If I see it in store I may still get it, maybe.
I like this figure. It's a G1 toy but not a total copy of the old G1 toy. Standard articulation. The missing link is a copy of the G1 toy with Standard articulation. Options is good I'm sure they will do a toy deco for this figure. But I like this deco
There were several fictional depictions where the robot designs were much closer to the actual toys. G1 Prime was actually one of the better articulated G1 figures, but his lack of dynamism in posing was inescapable.
Awesome review as usual. My copy should be coming in tomorrow morning or afternoon (2024Oct29). Granted, I overpaid like mad due to being the only thing I ordered from Ballsmart - iMean Walmart - so that stupid "below 35 minimum order fee" kicked in along with tax. Literally kicked up the total cost by ten bucks. I think it'll be worth it, though. Tryin' to find my SS44 DotM Jetwing Optimus Prime trailer to experiment with...that tiny thing would almost certainly look mad goofy with this mofo. 😏😏😏 Gonna need a Missinglink Soundwave (and his Minions) as well as a "G1 Universe" Soundwave (and his Minions, which'd probably be more repaints of ER Laserbeak/Ravage/86 Frumble/Legacy United Buzzsaw/Siege Ratbat/Selects Wingthing...) there, since we can't have an actual G1 Universe Megatron or Missinglink Megatron (unless Takara does those and people have to import like they did with MP5 & MP36). Maybe dig deep into the vault and do a retool of Classics Voyager class Jetfire into a G1 Universe Jetfire (cuz there's no chance of a Missinglink Jetfire).
I could be mistaken but I could have swore the date was always either October or November? But those dates are always wrong because Hasbro makes them two months further than they should be just to be safe
It's a shame they gave us the lazy Siege remold for G1 Soundwave instead of a deluxe sized G1 Soundwave based off the original toy. I guess once Takara Tomy makes a missing Link Soundwave then a future deluxe version might be possible. What's the music you used for the transformation to vehicle mode btw?
Great review, cool to see you're more positive about the figure (a lot of people seem dissapointed), I'm still hyped for this figure. Definitely getting it when it's out in the UK 👍.
@TMan978 I've heard people were disappointed with the quality or something (maybe they literally expected missing link 😅). I'm definitely getting it though 👍.
8:29 same! I remember being so disappointed on the limitations of the actual toy.
I love this figure! I really hope we see more G1 Universe figures similar to the Missing Link figures.

Don't think we're getting Megatron but more would be nice
I'd love a G1 toy style Grimlock.
Walmart had him, just ordered and should be here tomorrow!
Awesome
I grew up in the 80's so i love this. I'm going to have to see if i still grab one! Thanks for the video man🙏 Best of luck from Ireland 😁
I ordered the 40th anniversary Walmart OP this morning but I still will get this.
There can never be enough optimus
@TMan978 in the past year I got both missing links, the new Masterpiece, the reissue Power of the Primes, reissue Bumblebee OP Masterpiece and Yolopark.
Great Chill Premier of a Classic Bot ✨️😁🍿
Thank you for tuning in live
"I would have waited an ETERNITY for thisssss... It's over, Prime!"
Hasbro, "Ha! It's never over. We have 25 Primes next year!"
Just got him myself. He’s better than some say he is imo. Thanks for the review
It's not bad at all to me for what he is
A first-rate review of Legacy G1 Optimus Prime and his accessories!
Thank you as always
@@TMan978 Great work!👍
Whoah.
I preoredered missing link but may have to get this anyway.
Looks great!!!
Great review TMan978!!! I hope we get a trailer to go with this figure someday very soon. :D Keep on being amazing.
Hmm? Maybe. I love my Missing Link. It’s freaking awesome! This looks good too for an anniversary fig.
Definitely. I know Hasbro wanted some of that nostalgia money at retail price
Between Missing Link and Legacy, it's a trade-off, but it looks like Legacy offers just a little bit more IMO. This is going on my shopping list.
Also, love the new transformation music!
Thank you. As long as I keep paying a subscription, I guess I can probably keep using it. Lol
I just picked him up at Target.Wow he us small
He's definitely not a leader sized
Yeah, Voyager the better size.
Yeah I’m amazed it came with all that!
Ngl, as a person born in the early 2000s who wasn't alive during G1, this toy is one of my favourite figures from Hasbro like EVER
Oh really? I think it's really cool and definitely really different
super fun toy, lot smaller than i expected in hand (smaller than a carbot) and the legs had some trouble tabbing out of the box, but well worth the price
funny to have him and 86 side by side
86 has been eating his energon

Thanks for watching

The only problem is new age is definitely cartoon accurate which this guy isn't doing

You expect a lot. I would be shocked if we got ultra magnets armor for this guy unless it's a third party add-on kit
That opening is pretty funny
Got lucky and found him hiding at Walmart! I'm adding extra paint details to mine right now!
Way to go
i have this figure and I absolutely loved it. my one and only complain is that it's weird that he couldn't hold his own matrix
I argue on whether he should have one or not since they're basing it on the toy.
There's only 2 things I don't like about it.
The size is smaller than I would have liked.
And the chest/windshield sticking out a little compromised the alt mode a little bit for no good reason that I can tell.
I even cancelled my preorder because of it.
If I see it in store I may still get it, maybe.
Oh, third thing. The port for axe to store (which doubles as a trailer hitch) is too far back. It should be between the rear tires.
the trailer hitch is moved back so it can be his heels
Wish you could get Missing Link for 40 bucks like this guy.
Saw him today at Walmart. Bought Quake instead. I prefer OP to be Voyager size. Looks good though.
As soon as that new matrix mould comes with another prime I think I'll be swapping it out with SS86 prime so he has the new mould
you can switch the newage optimus prime head into this one, you will be shock, straight mp44
Those rubber tires!
I like this figure.
It's a G1 toy but not a total copy of the old G1 toy. Standard articulation.
The missing link is a copy of the G1 toy with Standard articulation.
Options is good
I'm sure they will do a toy deco for this figure. But I like this deco
@@bphater31 I'm thinking they might do toy deco with blue eyes or something like that. Lol
That Prime scales well with the core class Bumblebee origins figure
does the 86 prime trailer fit this G1 prime?
Yes
I personally hope we'll get another version of him that comes with a trailer
I was thinking I was gonna pass on this one. I changed my mind I’ll be picking him up!
My videos are evil
@@TMan978 😂
There were several fictional depictions where the robot designs were much closer to the actual toys.
G1 Prime was actually one of the better articulated G1 figures, but his lack of dynamism in posing was inescapable.
Yes I do collect Optimus Primes
Is it weird that I like this more than the Missing Link version?
No
I want him. I want two.
I want to add chrome to one.
And make the other a "Golden Lagoon" Prime to stand with my BeachComber.
Cool
Would you prefer it came with a trailer if it meant paying Voyager/Leader price?
Voyager class would be lovely
✌🏼🤦🏻♂️👍🏼Later T! 😉
Awe! 😢

Missing link is completely handled by Takara Tomy so there is definitely a high chance of you getting your wish on any G1 fig.
these are in stores now? i thought they weren't releasing until early next year
I could be mistaken but I could have swore the date was always either October or November? But those dates are always wrong because Hasbro makes them two months further than they should be just to be safe
@@TMan978 i could be mistaking this for a diff g1 prime release. either way, just about to go shopping perfect timing. cool review!
@_Majoras thanks
I saw this wave at Walmart today.
12:10 their plans are to make more money!
It's a shame they gave us the lazy Siege remold for G1 Soundwave instead of a deluxe sized G1 Soundwave based off the original toy. I guess once Takara Tomy makes a missing Link Soundwave then a future deluxe version might be possible. What's the music you used for the transformation to vehicle mode btw?
It's called synthetic minds
0:17 😂😂😂
It's too small. This fig should have been a voyager.
I love how small he is, nice and compact
No he doesn't. Optimus doesn't always need to eb a voyager
@@mustard3331 agreed
Great review, cool to see you're more positive about the figure (a lot of people seem dissapointed), I'm still hyped for this figure. Definitely getting it when it's out in the UK 👍.
What is the disappointment?
