I am absolutely in love with this particular version of Optimus Prime. However, I noticed that your copy has the same stress mark on the right fender that mine has. It must be a running QC issue.
@@chriscarpenter3370 I think they could do it as a leader since the trailer really doesn't need to be complicated, but they do like to skimp at that price point. Either way I'd be all over it
That's just some insane kingpin setback with that adapter. And yet without it, _zero_ kingpin setback. Halfway between would be best. But then again, it's what, a twenty foot box?
i would take the head from that one and put it on the earthrise design just like how i did with the siege legs just so I can have the most accurate depiction from the original cartoon
Man... Now i want a new CHUG-scaled alternators esque line in vain of this optimus. Maybe Prowl as a Police Charger, Hound as a Jeep Wrangler, Jazz as a modern 911. Etc... Maybe they could get McDonnell Douglas to license a Starscream that would be a voyager sized MP-3. Maybe make a M1 Abrams Megatron that's actually an M1 (or make it Brawl instead) Now that I think about it there's even repaint potential. Seekers (duh), you could get Swindle out of Hound. Oh, and the Datsun trio could be cool! Smokescreen could be a Hellcat retool of Prowl and Bluestreak could be a Chrysler 300 retool (given the Charger and 300 share the LX/LD platform). My head just went into the clouds again. In any case I'll be happy if there's a Megatron to go with him.
More spitballing Mini Cooper as Bumblebee Dodge Challenger as Cliffjumper (Engineering reuse of Bee but would only share hand and pelvis/thigh tooling, think ER Wheeljack and Sunstreaker) Lamborghini Huracán as Sideswipe Lamborghini Revuelto as Sunstreaker Ferrari Stradale as Wheeljack Ford Bronco as Brawn Volvo FL as Huffer Chevy Camaro as Windcharger Ram TRX as Ironhide Ram (Ambulance) as Ratchet (Partial of Ironhide where the pickup bed and rear cab of Ironhide (which would presumably be the limbs) are retooled to become the rear of an ambulance) I could keep going but I have other things to be working on.
The top half of this figure looks fantastic, but that dreadful truck kibble in the legs just destroys it for me. The truck itself doesn't even transform! He's just got feet grafted onto a cab.
I feel like the original holiday version looks like a Hess Truck, has anyone ever customized it into a "Hessitron" or something like that? I'm honestly not sure if I like Optimus having a new style truck and transformation scheme more than I'd like a new character
Ugh, faux windshield chest. It's always annoying to me, especially when the actual windshield is still visible in robot mode. Either commit to making the actual windshield the chest, or abandon it altogether and come up with a whole new look.
I wanted this guy so badly but due to some extremely untimely unexpected financial burdens I had to cancel my preorder. At least I can watch this video.
you just know this figure is going to lose those front wheels some day do to clear plastic syndrom. and since it's "smokey" clear plastic its likely not going to last as long as regular lear plastic. but I could be wrong in that part.
I want this version so badly. It reminds me most of the F00 Rx-78-2 redesign. It keeps the general design but modernizes it in a beautiful, dynamic, and respectful way.
the transformation for his legs is almost similar to the G2 Combat Hero Optimus Prime toy granted the truck cab roof faces the front in G2 Combat Hero as his robot mode legs.
I hope the make into a updated Energon Rodimus prime as i think with a little remoulding it would be a perfect new Rodimus, The Red Blue prime is very good colours for the mould.
ngl i wish that that the whole truck mode had actually been blue, that way the robot mode would have had entirely blue legs and an an entirely red torso. proper bot mode colors at the expense of the vehicle mode colors.
I really appreciate the lack of ports in alt mode. I get it for "toys" but I don't want to ruin the sculpt with holes for guns I never stick on the side of trucks.
I wanna see if hasbro would retool/repaint this into the movie aoe/tlk optimus prime in his european kight armor design with the flame deco and his accesories be his a couple of his energon swords, and his sword of judgment, and his sheild/arm canon. (And his maytrix of leader ship)
Man, I can't get the excitement for the G1 colors here. It's the safest, most boring option they could have picked. Holiday Prime at least brings some novelty. SG or Nemesis would even let you have the option to represent them alongside ER Prime as more than just recolors.
Jesus loves you and he died for your sins so that if you believe in him you are forgiven for your wrongdoings so that on judgment day you do not have to face the eternal consequence of our wrongdoings but have eternal life. For God so loves the world he Gave his son as sacrifice, bearing the punishment of our wrongdoing, so that if we believe in him, his death, burial and resurrection, we are forgiven and have eternal life. Turn from wrongdoings and sun, If you seek Jesus you will find him and if you come to him he will heal you of all manner of brokenness, give you peace and love from the source
This is like a successor to alternators optimus prime
After watching this video, I went and picked this Optimus up. I am very happy with this figure. So glad I came across this video.
this reminds me of classics
I just got this guy today. I love him!
I hope we get a legacy combat hero prime from this mold! This is a super good mold for its kind
It'd just need the feet swapped and the waist reversed. Then it would be perfect.
my dad ordered that one so i can't wait my hands on it
It really REALLY could use like some third party weapon part to store as a roof fairing (the like curved aerodynamic bit on the roof of a semi truck)
Exactly. They should've done a different head mold for the Christmas one.
It needs a Roller tho.
that shin kibble tho
At 13:11 that is Transformers studio series 99 Battletrap not Barricade

This looks so good 👍🏾
I really want a G2 Hero Prime version of this mould!!
With a new trailer to match with all the extra weapons and missiles and such!
you're talking commander class at the very least. still would be absolutely fantastic!
@@chriscarpenter3370 I think they could do it as a leader since the trailer really doesn't need to be complicated, but they do like to skimp at that price point. Either way I'd be all over it
I would love to swap the trailer of Earthrise Prime with this one. Looks so much better.
I love the wheels on the back
That's just some insane kingpin setback with that adapter. And yet without it, _zero_ kingpin setback.

I would be interested if this was modded into a Nova Prime core.
or nemesis prime.
@@chriscarpenter3370 I mostly want the Nova, because he has those shins
@@samurexatlas7373 fair point.
The mold is good except the leg i. Robot mode plus this packaging is one of the best among the eco packaging
Santa during the off season.
Hands down my favorite prime since the siege one
This truck mode with the tf prime optimus bot mode would be awesome
his transformation reminds me of motormaster
14:06 His hips got some nice CUTS.
(Looks like a Gundam by the way)
Jokes aside, that is one nice looking Volvo Prime!
18:00 RM252 😱
I wonder what will come next the nemesis version or the shattered glass version.
Wait, that gives me an idea. Have we gotten a SINGLE SG Nemesis Prime yet?
I dont think so. but that would be interesting. @@Green24152

More spitballing
Mini Cooper as Bumblebee
Dodge Challenger as Cliffjumper (Engineering reuse of Bee but would only share hand and pelvis/thigh tooling, think ER Wheeljack and Sunstreaker)
Lamborghini Huracán as Sideswipe
Lamborghini Revuelto as Sunstreaker
Ferrari Stradale as Wheeljack
Ford Bronco as Brawn
Volvo FL as Huffer
Chevy Camaro as Windcharger
Ram TRX as Ironhide
Ram (Ambulance) as Ratchet (Partial of Ironhide where the pickup bed and rear cab of Ironhide (which would presumably be the limbs) are retooled to become the rear of an ambulance)
I could keep going but I have other things to be working on.
Says there's no place to plug a gun into in vehicle mode.
Misses the _PAINFULLY OBVIOUS_ spot where the trailer plugs in.
The top half of this figure looks fantastic, but that dreadful truck kibble in the legs just destroys it for me. The truck itself doesn't even transform! He's just got feet grafted onto a cab.
The trailer still has the penile storage for the gun, yay. Makes me laugh
If Amazon was smart, this was a great opportunity for advertisement. They could have named one of these figures as Amazon Prime. 😂😂😂😂
So tempting....!!
Do you know if that head can fit on the earthrise prime?
It can but you run the risk of cracking it, the 2 ball joints are very slightly different in size
Till all are one

Do you plan to check out the official Takara Tomy lunar rover Optimus Prime?
They better reuse that headsculpt for the leader class optimus next year
Is this still available in hasbro pulse because I’m interested in getting one
I wanted this guy so badly but due to some extremely untimely unexpected financial burdens I had to cancel my preorder. At least I can watch this video.
😅
Will u be getting the lunar prime that’s a really interesting Optimus figure lol
Is the trailer compatible with the SS 38 Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime?
Optimus prime
i only bought one optimus so far and it's legacy armada prime, because the usual prime trailers are dead weight imo.
Trying to decide if I should track down a earth rise Optimus or a Volvo Optimus.
Volvo.
Both
Where is roller? Prime's companion 6wheel droid
Where you took it?
Does it come in black?
come on hasbro give us g2 hero OP otherwise I'm gonna...buy this and make one myself
The paint/plastic molding on the back of the cab and overall is just great.
13:11 barricade??
For anyone know where to get this thing
I pre-ordered as soon as it was available in my country, and it's now one of my favorite official Optimus Prime figures.😄
Is Battletrap!!! Not Barricade!!!!
you just know this figure is going to lose those front wheels some day do to clear plastic syndrom. and since it's "smokey" clear plastic its likely not going to last as long as regular lear plastic. but I could be wrong in that part.
But, but, where's Roller ?
ROTB barricade?- XD
"It does not deserve..."
"a Hammer!"

I just ordered this one yesterday. I'm looking forward to the G2 Hero Optimus Prime, that should be VERY easy for Hasbro.
I want to make a mod for the shoulder spots to add smoke stack looking things on top of the shoulders
Ngl, This actually looks sick
Tho the wheels look really fragile
I hope the make into a updated Energon Rodimus prime as i think with a little remoulding it would be a perfect new Rodimus, The Red Blue prime is very good colours for the mould.

I feel like this might get retooled for legacy into animated optimus prime
I doubt it.
I really appreciate the lack of ports in alt mode. I get it for "toys" but I don't want to ruin the sculpt with holes for guns I never stick on the side of trucks.
Alt modes that resemble real earth vehicles are usually harder to make.
I wanna see if hasbro would retool/repaint this into the movie aoe/tlk optimus prime in his european kight armor design with the flame deco and his accesories be his a couple of his energon swords, and his sword of judgment, and his sheild/arm canon. (And his maytrix of leader ship)

I can’t stand this mold. Volvo trucks are boring and the entire alt modes ends up on his calves in robot mode.
Way to complicated transformation.
Seems quite easy to me.
