Same here but I decided to put them side by side on my shelf. Love both of them for what they are - great depictions of an iconic character (okay Studio Series 86 is overall the better toy but still...).
The decaying paint on earthrise somehow amplifies my love for it. Bleeding red on the ears give it a rusty weathering and the battered bumper reminds the cons hes not pulling the brakes. Like it accelerated what would be years of love and play into just a few weeks. Downside is.. you only have a few weeks to enjoy the paint
I think my ideal G1 Prime would be Earthrise surface detail on a Commander-ish mold like 86, now that I have both. I do kind of miss the WFC trilogy's heavy mechanical textures, even if they weren't a hit with the whole audience.
Hey man, I just stumbled upon your channel, and I gotta say, I really like your style; the editing is really good, the jokes are funny, you definitely seem passionate about Transformers and you’re consistent. I’m very sure you will make it big in the community in the near future, willing to bet 2025 will be your year if you keep it up. Good luck and great review!
Had the siege figure for the longest time. So when I got the ss86 figure it was basically perfection. Although I skipped out on the Earthrise version, I got the shattered glass reissue to experience the mold and he is also not bad either.
Regarding the warped peieces; you can heat up the plastic with a blow dryer, then manually flex them back into shape. Afterwards, just put them in the fridge/freezer and they should be good to go
Can anyone help me to decide which Transformers One Optimus to buy? I'm between the main line Optimus or just buy a Blokees Optimus and apparently a 3rd party vehicle form, by roughly similar price. There's also the Ultimate Energon in the same price range.
er is like mp10 with the wider windows instead of just squared, long legs, striped on the arms and truck, and yeah that's about it but tbh yea I did get mp10 even after mp44 was released since idrc ab toon accuracy and same happened for er earlier this year (oh yeah funnily enough ss86 has a more mp10 feeling head sculpt than even earthrise so I'm kinda a hypocrite for that ig) 6:26 they're actually for when you open the combat deck so it doesn't bow down like earthrise
In case you didn't know, on a real truck there would be a lot of air between the rails and wheels...so the "hole" kind of makes it a more accurate earth mode...kind of...
just use a hairdryer on the blast effects and axe for a good minute, bend it back in shape and put it in cold water for another good minute once they're good
ER Prime Netflix Recolor > Normal Earthrise Prime release. Shame the Fantastic Netflix recolor doesn't get the appreciation it rightfully deserves. It fixes soooo many color issues.
I definitely intend to get the yolopark one (and Megatron) for that sunbow accurate, wheel-less presence (yes, I prefer my Primes to have the wheels on the legs, as well as the stripe for the truck modes) to go with my Nemesis [Prime].
the reissue has better basically everything and i got him to mess with cause i keep putting my figures in poses im happy with and dont want to move them anymore, that will be the fate of my eventual 86 optimus, whenever he gets to Australia + i got my ER prime for the price of a voyager with the trailer brand new so im pretty happy about that
I think, having watched your transformation of SS86, your problem with it is your order of operations. You kinda seem to manhandle it? I'm not exactly sure how to explain it without doing an in-depth description or a video of my own, but if you do it in the right order then it's really fun. You seem to shove parts against each other and that's not something you actually have to do at any step of the process.
I bought my ss86 out of a convention. I felt bad about getting rid of my earthrise so in stead I ripped off his left arm and now it’s sky bound prime(oh yea I customized it too)
As someone who was willing to pay the commander price I got mine for leader price because of discounts for toys at target so do something like that instead of paying $80 for him
I don't have SS86 Prime, but I do have the Netflix Earthrise Prime. And of course I can't completely say, but from multiple reviews, I still like Earthrise more; SS86 Prime is supposed to be toon accurate, but that backpack and the head sculpt puts me completely off when something like Magic Square exists, although I can understand SS86 Prime's appeal for scale. And the price for SS86 is just too much for me. But this opinion is coming from someone who doesn't really collect G1 inspired figures, so I don't care about scale, and so I'll probably pick up the legends scale Magic Square Prime.
The annoying thing for both SS86-31 Optimus Prime AND SS86-21 Ultra Magnus before him is that if somebody would've paid attention, they could've used the Matrix mold from Legacy G2 Universe Laser Optimus Prime, which is also a completely different mold from the Earthrise. (Legacy G2 Laser Optimus: 2022, SS86-21: 2023, SS86-31: 2024. No excuses there.) But, Hasbruh couldn't even get Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus right, so I guess gettin' this right was even more beyond their intellectual capacity. (What they put out as SG Magnus, the repaint of Kingdom Ultra Magnus, was basically Delta Magnus w/Magna Convoy; the *REAL* SG Ultra Magnus was supposed to be a repaint of the Laser Optimus mold...then again, the whole Shattered Glass II toyline got a lot of peeps flat out WRONG)
I have an SS86 in my Pile of Loot at BBTS but I'm regretting having bought it now. The head not being accurate to the movie, the lack of a double-jointed elbow, no side skirts, and that horrible backpack are disappointing. And he's too tall. Was he really that much bigger than the car bots? I'm pretty sure that they didn't want to make him better as they wouldn't have room for improvement later when they make an MP SS version. I have the ER one and I'd much rather have him displayed with the rest of the Autobots in my collection.
the transformation was the make or break moment for me, I had initially pre-ordered 86 despite my reservations about the design (he seems oddly... bulky in some areas to me, but more importantly I don't like "toon-accurate" designs, I don't like the lack of detail found on them, especially in 86 Prime's case where he doesn't have wheels on the sides of his legs, I like wheels on the sides of the legs), but when I saw the transformation that's what lead me to cancel my pre-order, I didn't like how much it was, and I really didn't like all the nonsense that went in to hiding Optimus' wheels in robot mode
For me, SS is too expensive but also too big to scale with other figures, especially Legacy Elita-1. I also like the details on Earthrise, which make it more realistic, in my opinion. SS seems too plain, plus the large backpack.
I do like SS86 Prime, but there are more than a few qualms that keep him from being my favorite over Earthrise Optimus: • The plain gray face, while generally accurate, looks very flat when most figures have that signature Hasbro/Takara silver used on their face. Even SS86 Bee does this, and it throws Prime off imo, especially when they used that silver for his truck details! • I’ve mostly gotten used to the backpack 86 Prime has, but the transformation is more complex than I’d like. It’s impressive in some ways, sure. But the complexity means I’m not gonna be transforming it all that often. I can pick up Earthrise Prime and transform him in seconds, and he doesn’t have a backpack at all; yeah he has those wheels, but imo they’re positioned more on his lower back/kidney area than on his butt. • SS86 Prime’s Matrix is so small since they used the same mold they’ve been using since Earthrise. It looks more like a souvenir trinket in his hands, and it’s tiny when fitted into his chest. And naturally, ER Prime uses it well enough; it looks good in his chest, and he can even hold it (mostly) right if you find the patience. Of course, 86 Prime has an incredible trailer, hands down better than the ER one. But the robot itself doesn’t hit the same marks that ER Prime did.
@@gonkdroid5851 Idk about the backpack, seems too panel-heavy to be screen accurate? I do appreciate that it doesn't flop around, it holds together in place quite well and doesn't get in the way of articulation. And fair enough, his transformation isn't hard. And there are little things about the process that I do like: his elbows bend backwards, but still do the signature Optimus tuck into the sides. However, it's not too likely that I'm going to pick up 86 Prime as something to fiddle with.
honestly 86 prime is in many ways superior to MP44 prime. He's a sort of budget mp44 that has a transformation thats not... mp44. *Vietnam flashbacks to footage of mp44's transformation*
I just went 86 Optimus am I the only person that’s poor as hell and can’t goddamn get it because Amazon loves all over pricing things and not like putting the back on stock
Cancel me but ever since 86 prime came out, Earthrise is INSANELY mid for me. It was fun for the time, but boy the proportions, weird truck, small trailer, too much grey and lack of any other accessories ruin it for me
I'm in the minority but I hate the trailers. They're always an excuse to artificially inflate the price. I never use them for display since I always display my figures in robot mode making the trailer obsolete.
It’s the sculpting that’s accurate, it’s unpainted because it’s made of POM plastic since it has so many hinges and joints connected to it and it would flake off
I’m sorry but 86 is perfect for me, earthrise is mid as hell for me and 86 is just everything I want in an Optimus. Although I might be a madman and pick the aoe Optimus they’re doing as my definitive Optimus because my introduction to the series was the last knight and I have a special connection to the knight Optimus design
Earthrise Optimus prime will always hold a special place in my heart.
But 86 Optimus holds a special place on my shelf 🙂↕️
Same here but I decided to put them side by side on my shelf.
Love both of them for what they are - great depictions of an iconic character (okay Studio Series 86 is overall the better toy but still...).
I personally considered the Earthrise Prime to be like the MP-10, and the SS86 Prime to be like the MP-44.
Buying Earthrise Prime right now, since 86 Prime is sold out everywhere 😭
Same
Hey, he aint no 86 but i have both and i think youll love him. Hes basically the perfect generations Optimus.
@ yeah
Did you get the most recent release Earthrise Optimus? The one with cartoon accurate colors
Big Bad Toy Store has studio 86 prime for preorder, now at time of this post
The decaying paint on earthrise somehow amplifies my love for it. Bleeding red on the ears give it a rusty weathering and the battered bumper reminds the cons hes not pulling the brakes. Like it accelerated what would be years of love and play into just a few weeks. Downside is.. you only have a few weeks to enjoy the paint
My Earthrise OP has white thighs...cuz i painted them. Great review. Happy New Year, all! Cheers?
I think my ideal G1 Prime would be Earthrise surface detail on a Commander-ish mold like 86, now that I have both. I do kind of miss the WFC trilogy's heavy mechanical textures, even if they weren't a hit with the whole audience.
Ss86 definitely still has that greebling it’s not going anywhere.
4:26 So that’s why they made SS86 Core Class Ratchet.

Impossible to review them all in one video??? Sounds like you need to do just that 💙
Had the siege figure for the longest time. So when I got the ss86 figure it was basically perfection. Although I skipped out on the Earthrise version, I got the shattered glass reissue to experience the mold and he is also not bad either.
7:36 and an hour and a half later... He's in his beast mode... Sorry truck mode. 😂
I replaced my earthrise prime’s right arm with megatron’s for that skybound look. Also SS86 has full turning radius. Automatic S tier.
Regarding the warped peieces; you can heat up the plastic with a blow dryer, then manually flex them back into shape. Afterwards, just put them in the fridge/freezer and they should be good to go

That huge pillar you meant is actually use for holding the trailer when it's spread out, making it more stable than ER trailer.
I have a question,so I’m looking for earthrise,but there’s on with yellow eyes that in it has pictures of the blue one,should I get it?
er is like mp10 with the wider windows instead of just squared, long legs, striped on the arms and truck, and yeah that's about it but tbh yea I did get mp10 even after mp44 was released since idrc ab toon accuracy and same happened for er earlier this year
(oh yeah funnily enough ss86 has a more mp10 feeling head sculpt than even earthrise so I'm kinda a hypocrite for that ig)
6:26 they're actually for when you open the combat deck so it doesn't bow down like earthrise
Fast becoming one of my reviewers 😎 keep it up man, sending respect from Alberta
I have earthrise and was pretty disappointed with it. I’m very much looking forward to getting my hands on the 86 version.
In case you didn't know, on a real truck there would be a lot of air between the rails and wheels...so the "hole" kind of makes it a more accurate earth mode...kind of...
I think earthrise is more affordable... Yeah.
I literally got so lucky to find him at my job today 😭🙏🏼
I would get 86,but in my area it’s going for $160 not including shipping
just use a hairdryer on the blast effects and axe for a good minute, bend it back in shape and put it in cold water for another good minute once they're good
ER Prime Netflix Recolor > Normal Earthrise Prime release.
Shame the Fantastic Netflix recolor doesn't get the appreciation it rightfully deserves. It fixes soooo many color issues.
for me i got the netflix recolor but sold it to get the normal earthrise cause the netflix colors just doesnt do it for me
The Earthrise one is also a favorite of mine. (A happy accident, indeed.)
I definitely intend to get the yolopark one (and Megatron) for that sunbow accurate, wheel-less presence (yes, I prefer my Primes to have the wheels on the legs, as well as the stripe for the truck modes) to go with my Nemesis [Prime].
I hope to get second run of commander Prime, it should be ideal fix the issues people were having with first run.
Bro earned a sub!
Here before 1000 🔥
the reissue has better basically everything and i got him to mess with cause i keep putting my figures in poses im happy with and dont want to move them anymore, that will be the fate of my eventual 86 optimus, whenever he gets to Australia + i got my ER prime for the price of a voyager with the trailer brand new so im pretty happy about that
hands have already started to chip tho🙃

Yea I personally really enjoy the transformation since nothing pushes past each other and it just clicks into place in a really nice way
I Transform my toys like an ape
Earthrise is the GOAT
No
@Connor_is_me.eu. baby detected
Ive always been okay with MP44s backpack as show does have ibe after all
I bought my ss86 out of a convention. I felt bad about getting rid of my earthrise so in stead I ripped off his left arm and now it’s sky bound prime(oh yea I customized it too)
Same. 3d printed out a new shoulder for megatron’s arm
As someone who was willing to pay the commander price I got mine for leader price because of discounts for toys at target so do something like that instead of paying $80 for him
The Netflix release of Earthrise prime doesn't have the paint issues
2:00 was that a fucking jojos reference????

Siege is the goat
Toy hax has a thrust grill sticker.
Banger after banger!
Just put the blast effects and the axe in hot water and they will be good

Wow, i never saw that much complainings than at the upper two comments
Yeah I prefer the sudo live action look
Earthrise optimus prime a a good figure.
SS-86 optimus prime is the most cartoon accurate for this scale so far.
That's how it is.
I do like SS86 Prime, but there are more than a few qualms that keep him from being my favorite over Earthrise Optimus:

Ss86’s prime’s backpack is screen accurate and non obtrusive. And his transformation is easy enough for me personally.

im the 1000th sub :) your welcome
The goat
if earthrise optimus is mp10, and ss86 is mp44, then the classics deluxe is mp01.
I like the siege more ngl :))
Bro cooks so hard
This guy is cool I’m gonna sub
honestly 86 prime is in many ways superior to MP44 prime. He's a sort of budget mp44 that has a transformation thats not... mp44. *Vietnam flashbacks to footage of mp44's transformation*
Honestly, SS86 > Siege > Earthrise

Siege prime >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Earthrise Prime
6:13 do you know what else is massive loooooooooow
Lol i have that helmet
Wrong music for this prime
How are you gonna look at that unpainted Matrix chamber and say it's cartoon accurate 🤨
It’s the sculpting that’s accurate, it’s unpainted because it’s made of POM plastic since it has so many hinges and joints connected to it and it would flake off
earthrise some ass tho
