To be clear: The company is currently not working at full capacity due to covid outbreak. They had planned a 2022 release but it has been pushed back till at least January 29, 2023, a week after January 22 chinese new year holiday. Showz, tfsource, and Bombusbee are estimating February 2023 for mass consumer release. The cyber key is a preorder bonus from the distributor not affiliated with TR. Showz and Bombusbee will get it thru their distributor. The review copies will differ from final versions, taking away redundant tabs.
Hey that’s fine with me. Just another check or 2 to hit the account. To me it’s good news. At least the product copy is looking spectacular @primevsprime thanks for the new review.
I still have mine outside of a box, he never gone into storage, he one of my favourte OP figures, thou I tend to keep the panels on the side of his head, folded back, but I keep the face plate up regardless of modes!
Because many people may be wondering: There is a + shaped slot where the side windows were that the arms will fit into. It is *not* spring loaded and *not* compatible with leobreaker. If TR were to implement savage claw mode they'd have to design an all new peg and it would fit into the slot by friction alone. Even then there is no way to implement savage claw and super mode at the same time due to backpack not allowing one arm to fold back. Magmotion featured a video comparing TR02 with sonic wing mode. Promising, because there is nothing really stopping sonic wing mode from happening except there is no way to attach gun heels to the super mode feet.
I have the OG cybertron optimus prime. On the OG, the little crotch plate actually does softly lock the chest in during vehicle mode which is nice. The transformation is very similar to the OG, but with just a little variation.
The OG is the most accurate because the show was based off the toys. However, you can see huge liberties had to be taken with the animation to provide realistic proportions and movement.
This is definitely a faithful update to the OG toy. The OG toy was already reasonably show accurate to begin with, and this just made it even more so. I have the Siege Galaxy Upgrade too, so glad I got it at retail, the price for it now is insane.
I can hear Gary Chalk say "Our worlds are in danger. To save them and the galaxy we must find the four cyber planet keys before the decepticons can use them for evil. It is our mission."
Just got my release copy. All of the fingers disintegrated after my initial transformation. This figure came with a little baggy containing 10 replacement figures that seem to be made of sturdier plastic, but it was still shocking and frustrating having to replace them all first thing out of the box. Also, I'm so glad I watched how you transformed him into super mode, I didn't trust those thin black "backpack straps" to not break, but extending the shoulders like that did the trick! Overall, an amazing looking figure, I'm just sad I have to worry about the durability of the plastic.
I have the original Cybertron optimus prime, and it remains one of my favorite transformers all these years later. Only issue I ever had was the super mode had a clip crack, but it still functions as normal. One thing I wonder how Show Z will handle is the Leobreaker and Saber combine modes.
I remember reading once that the unicron trilogy animation models were made in close association with the toy designs. If that is indeed the case, its unsurprising that a very good amount of screen accuracy is possible for these recent 3rd party toys without terribly complex transformations, since the designs were specifically made to make that possible. The really complex 3rd party transformations are often a product of the general sloppiness of the G1 animation, or the complexity of the live action animation (and if TFP or Earthspark ever get 3rd party toys they'll be in a similar place)
I love the original version which i still have in combined mode with star saber, is really a straight foward clone with some twist and a lot of diecast and it looks insanely beautiful.
Still own, and absolutely love the original Cybertron Prime toy. It's big, durable, and still display worthy. Only nitpick I had then was the unpainted Cyber Key which was call in a blue transparent plastic. This third party rerelease definitely does this toy justice, and the paint aps all around are spot as are the colors. Interesting differences. The original I believe lit up as well as fired missiles. 3 in total, and the feet had a spring joint of sorts to extend them for the commander mode. Really surprised how well this toy has held up over the years with no breakage issues whatsoever.
Hopefully this can spark ideas in other third party companies heads about getting more unicron trilogy and maybe tf animated characters from them, it would be great to see some of the characters we never got to see as figures from animated
The OG Cybertron figure was my absolute favorite. My mom had actually sold it at some point during my teens and I was devastated. About a decade later (last year) I found it again at a Frank N Sons near me. The exact same one. Since my dad put my name on all my toys 😂😂
Chanels like your keep my love for transformers alive, I can no longer collect right now, priorities go first but damn, the toys are really amazing these days, especialy 3rd party. armada was my introduction to the series, and cybertron prime has got to be one of the coolest optimus design ever.
1:56 I used to own the Galaxy Force redeco of the original figure, but it’s right arm broke off when I tripped and fell down the basement stairs of my house while trying to carry it to my room.
Cybertron Optimus Prime had a mouth as an homage to Optimus Primal (as they were both voiced by Garry Chalk)! His face mask was only deployed in Super Mode!
Damn it's about time they made another toy for this Prime. I recently picked up the original toy and it is without the doubt the best Optimus Prime figure that I own.
The transformation is nearly identical to the original. I had the Wingsaber combo pack growing up and I regret selling it when I was younger. Easily one of my favorite figures I owned
The only concern I had with TR-02 CoS was the fact that the arms that attached to the cannons were too long or even uneccessary when in robot mode and flight vehicle mode. And while there was no way to recreate the cannon opening gimmick on the left cannon from the show, the mechanism looked powerful enough to open the outer "jaws" of the cannon
I reaaaallllyyyyy want to see a remake of Megatron from this series. This series.has some of my favorite designs of all time for both Optimus and Megatron. Still have both the originals put up safely
This version is everything and a little more than what I thought it would be. I had the original version so he is faithful to the original version. It does have so new tweeks to it. I am going to be on the lookout for this Optimus prime for definite. Great review as aways I look forward to seeing your next one.
the og cybertron prime had the key insert into those lader things in vehicle mode which could cause flashing lights in the one that opens and closes akin to a croc/alligator or those 2 bits within the other ladder part can pop out via a spring also dont know if he had lights and sounds or not, his wheels weren't rubber per ray but he still rolled really well, and he was a hefty boi (not nearly as much as metroplex mind you) also idk if the one in this videp can combine with leobreaker or that other one for either savage claw mode or sonic wing mode
Still got my original Cybertron Optimus Prime, and this is pretty cool in comparison. Bits I like: the diecast in the legs, the feet and fingers articulation is better, the wheels that make the hip skirts have better maneuverability, and the jetpack section looks less bulky than the original. Things to improve upon imo: the Matrix doesn't look as accurate to the show as the original Matrix in the original toy, I prefer the little lever in the back of the head on the original to bring up the battle mask instead of flipping the face up and around, and there's no slot for the unique designed Cyber Key in the main weapons on the jetpack. Things I don't like: the waist section compared to the original looks a bit less stable despite providing much better maneuverability than the original, and if I'm being picky I prefer the head sliding up on a slider like on the original toy (but the cover on the back is so much cleaner!) and if the company were to produce their versions of Leobreaker and Wingsaber, I'm not sure how well those would combine - the toys were almost completely identical in-hand compared to how they combined in the show. Overall: an 8.5 out of 10, borderline 9 out of 10. This is a superb update to the original figure released from the show, with minor nitpicks to complain over, but this featured is only a sample piece so it will continue to get better. Will the final figure released be worth the asking price? Probably.
I have the Japanese re-deco which is black instead of blue and I'm missing the feet pieces for the super mode feet which is needed for the truck mode, and I love it. Though I would have liked it to be blue because it looks better.
Finally. FINALLY, I HAVE FOUND IT! Context: So, a LONG time ago, back when I was four, my second-oldest brother, Matt, used to have this exact figure. Him and my dad would never let me play with it, since they were (key word; "were") planning on selling it, and I hadn't seen it often since then... Until yesterday, when I went into the closet of my brother, Seth's room, and upon a shelf within, there it was, almost complete. It's got EVERYTHING (I think), except functioning electronics, since the batteries that were (and, as a matter of fact, still are) in there are all busted and stuff, but, hey, it's got the matrix of leadership, so that's all that matters, heh heh.
Very nice figure. I had the Original back when I was a kid. I made the stupid mistake of bringing it to school one day and someone stole it. Maybe one day i'll pick this guy up. I'd like to see this company do a Cybertron Galvatron figure since they did a good job with Optimus
I love this design I just never understood why he gets no add-on pieces for the arms. He gets longer and thicker legs, new wings and everything, but the arms stay the same size, it kinda disrupts his proportions.
They could not without changing proportions of the cab. The cab is made of the arms tucked in. The legs and the wings make up the rear of the truck and can be lengthened without impacting the silhouette too much.
So, much like the MP Datsuns & Hot Rod, this guy's just the original Galaxy Force/Cybertron toy with extra steps. Nice!! (If I weren't so hellbent on tryna get the Eagle KOs of Thundercracker and Skywarp, I'd gladly drop that idea to get this behemoth!!)
This is 99% of the exact transformation of the original. Even the tabs. You definitely should of showed the other modes they were essential to the show. Oh well I'll stick with my original but this one looks great no doubt. Doesn't look as "fun" as the og though & that has all the joints beyond maybe thigh swivels. I can't remember but yeah he had Gary Chalks voice too so it made sense that he looked like primal. He came after BW of course great review bro
The original figure is arguably the best Optimus Prime toy. A great size, is pretty posable even by today's standards, and most of the gimmicks are in the jetpack so their's no compromises to the core robot mode. Plus all the other bots that powerlink with that further adds to the playability. Completely badass toy, see if you can find it.
As someone who owned the original back in the day when Zellers was around, I can safely tell you that the original is fucking gigantic. A lot more robust with a tighter, blockier aesthetic. Not nearly as dynamic-looking as this 3P version but still hefty and incredibly durable, well-articulated, etc. The two main guns on the original were also mounted on the wings in one specific way such that they would point upward in super-mode and only able to come under-arm *from* beneath the wing. Otherwise, everything else seems the same. I do like how model-accurate this 3P is though. The OG figure was not accurate as far as having a neck, wrists, etc. goes.
The balls on this company are made of steel for slapping that autobot logo on the planet key. Respect and hope Hasbro's lawyers don't fire the 150mm Cease and Desist gun
I think the original did the galaxy upgrade mode better. The wing span is positioned too high and the guns default positions is supposed to be flipped up not down. Plus this figure is a bit too lean in the upgrade mode. I think he needs a bit more added bulk
The guns were flipped down on purpose before attaching the backpack because they allegedly "got in the way". There is a way to keep them up throughout by manipulating the double jointed bars they are on.
I just got my copy in the mail today and unfortunately, 4 of the fingers crumbled at the pin joints and fell off as soon as I opened the hands. I've already contacted showZstore after sales service to see if they can get replacement hands. I'm interested to hear if other people have had similar issues.
At first glance this looks like a very cheap toy. Then after your review I think it's a very nice cheap toy. It's got articulatable fingers, and the all needed ab crunch. The feet look good too.👍great review job 👏
It's cheaper than Fans Hobby Naval Commander or Energy Commander but TR02 didn't need to be as expensive. Star Commander doesn't have a trailer that turns into a battle station or stores other vehicles, he simply detaches from his super mode parts which can form a turret.
Shame it didn't come with his Cyber-Key. A minor inconvenience at most, however. Maybe one day we'll get Leo Breaker and Wing Sabre for Sonic Wing and Savage Claw Modes. I wonder if the two modes can be used at once. Now, wouldn't THAT be something interesting?
This looks pretty cool, thou I feel they are adding some extra steps that could easily be scrapped for the final product, such as how his shoulder work with the back pack, thou I doult I'll get him, I wouldn't mind if Hasbro took another shot at him but at a commander price point, this verison, its transformation is 99% the same as the original with a few minor and pointless changes
There is but there were sacrifices that had to be made because the cannons are attached to longer, more flexible bars for super mode. You have to have them flipped up on top of the wings (not show accurate) or if they are below the wings they are highly unstable and flop down. Promo images are on showz.
It's not over $200. It's either $200 or marginally cheaper than $200. I'm looking at my old Galaxy Convoy toy and the whole thing is roughly the same size as Energon Prime's trailer. He shouldn't be that expensive to produce. TNR even had enough left in the budget to place diecast in TR2.
Man, I tried to pre-order in full price for this figure on ShowZStore, but all it showed was just the deposit. Does this mean that they are pre-sold out?
I don't think so. Showz still has not confirmed a price and release date. I predict this is because their cancelation policy for preorders is very generous. It is their specialty in dealing with third party toys and stock problems happen all the time. It is very easy to refund a couple of dollars in points but very hard to do so for hundreds of dollars if a release gets botched. This figure has been in releading limbo since 2019 I think.
To be clear: The company is currently not working at full capacity due to covid outbreak. They had planned a 2022 release but it has been pushed back till at least January 29, 2023, a week after January 22 chinese new year holiday.

Agabyss has announced they are also getting the magnetic cyber key.
almost mid March and it still hasn't came out , bombusbee did say either mid or late march but will see
@DrenX 87 it came out late March. Bombusbee and TFsafari have it rn.
I have the original Cybertron version, in a box in my closet like ten feet away. I loved that toy, it's so good. Was my go to Optimus for ages.
Oh wow that’s awesome! I wish I had the OG to compare
Oh ,man, I have also
I loved that one too. That figure is still better than most of the OP that came out afterwards (in my opinion).
I still have mine outside of a box, he never gone into storage, he one of my favourte OP figures, thou I tend to keep the panels on the side of his head, folded back, but I keep the face plate up regardless of modes!

This is a pre-production model. Meaning it's subject to change.
I have the OG cybertron optimus prime. On the OG, the little crotch plate actually does softly lock the chest in during vehicle mode which is nice. The transformation is very similar to the OG, but with just a little variation.
Transformation is more closely accurate to the show, almost a 1 to 1 recreation from the animation
The OG is the most accurate because the show was based off the toys. However, you can see huge liberties had to be taken with the animation to provide realistic proportions and movement.
I have the Takara version of Optimus & Wing Saber.
This is definitely a faithful update to the OG toy. The OG toy was already reasonably show accurate to begin with, and this just made it even more so. I have the Siege Galaxy Upgrade too, so glad I got it at retail, the price for it now is insane.
You say "show-accurate" but truth is the CGI models were carefully designed to match the toys.
What show is this prime from exactly???? I've been looking around to try and find it but no luck at all
@@_Vegtio_72322 Transformers Cybertron. Not quite peak TF but it's got charm for sure.
@@CapnShades oh wow sweet !!! I gotta check it out thank you so much !!!! Even if its not peak I definitely wanna see that optimus in action !
@_ Vegito _ if you haven't watched it yet this prime is a powerhouse and has been ranked as one of the most powerful
I can hear Gary Chalk say "Our worlds are in danger. To save them and the galaxy we must find the four cyber planet keys before the decepticons can use them for evil. It is our mission."
"Hot Shot, Jetfire, Vector Prime, Landmine, Scattershot, Optimus Prime! TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!!"

Just wondering if your figure still holds up??? I've heard plenty of QC issues. Some of the plastic appears very cheap. Are you happy with yours?
I have the original Cybertron optimus prime, and it remains one of my favorite transformers all these years later. Only issue I ever had was the super mode had a clip crack, but it still functions as normal. One thing I wonder how Show Z will handle is the Leobreaker and Saber combine modes.
Compared to a lot of the other OP figures, that's not too bad. Hasbro had a lot of QC issues since Cybertron.
I love when the transformation is simple yet on point to the show
I had the OG Cybertron Prime (should search for it, must be somewhere), it was massive, this version looks awesome
Oh wow cool! Maybe I’ll get it one day!
Not only was the og figure massive, it also was pretty hefty in super mode for a figure without die cast metal

@@frenchfriedbagel7035which is very nice when making the transformations and modes accurate.
This company has a true love for this version of Optimus for sure, so faithful to the original yet updated so perfectly
A TR Wing Saber and/or leobreaker that combines with this would complete my childhood
I love the original version which i still have in combined mode with star saber, is really a straight foward clone with some twist and a lot of diecast and it looks insanely beautiful.
I know it isn’t something you would normally do but can you rank all of the dna design upgrade kits by how well they fixed all the figures problems.
That’s a good idea! Maybe!
Really looking forward to posing him alongside Maketoys Galaxy Meteor
Really hoping Transform and Rollout make a Megatron to go with him
The leader Master Megatron from Hastak was already near perfect although a new representation of him would be good for transfans who don't have one.
@@LegendaryAntiHero I also think while the old one was really good, we’ll need a new one to scale properly with TR-02
I almost fell in love with this figure since TNR had released gray prototype. Can't wait to get him in hand
Still own, and absolutely love the original Cybertron Prime toy. It's big, durable, and still display worthy. Only nitpick I had then was the unpainted Cyber Key which was call in a blue transparent plastic.

Wow, that looks awesome
Ikr?! Sickkk looking Optimus!
This rules! Awesome review 👍
Thanks so much!
I had the original release of this toy when I was a kid. I played with it at my grandparents everyday 🥰 such a blast of nostalgia
Such a lovely homage to the toys! Wish i had it
I agree!
Hopefully this can spark ideas in other third party companies heads about getting more unicron trilogy and maybe tf animated characters from them, it would be great to see some of the characters we never got to see as figures from animated
whoo! The Heroic Optimus Prime has return!
I’ve had this on pre order for a couple years now. Lol. Really happy it’s finally about to release. Good review.
Great review. I have the original on my shelf now. I can’t imagine ever getting bored of it. Definitely my favourite Optimus Prime.
The OG Cybertron figure was my absolute favorite. My mom had actually sold it at some point during my teens and I was devastated. About a decade later (last year) I found it again at a Frank N Sons near me. The exact same one. Since my dad put my name on all my toys 😂😂
Hopefully we can get a Leobreaker for SCM and Wing Saber for SWM but as it is, it’s already an amazing figure
This was the first transformer i ever owned as a kid , love this third party companies releasing this again ..
I really need one
Chanels like your keep my love for transformers alive, I can no longer collect right now, priorities go first but damn, the toys are really amazing these days, especialy 3rd party. armada was my introduction to the series, and cybertron prime has got to be one of the coolest optimus design ever.
This figure is AWESOME! It’s so big, and accurate to the show. So, can you do the Transformers/Street Fighter crossover figure?
I agree! & maybeeee! I have Megatron & Optimus but idk if I’ll review them
1:56 I used to own the Galaxy Force redeco of the original figure, but it’s right arm broke off when I tripped and fell down the basement stairs of my house while trying to carry it to my room.
After seeing Armada Prime's Legacy figure, I can't wait to see what Cybertron/Galaxy Prime's figure in Legacy would look like :D
Cybertron Optimus Prime had a mouth as an homage to Optimus Primal (as they were both voiced by Garry Chalk)! His face mask was only deployed in Super Mode!
One of my favorite Optimus Prime designs.
God I can’t wait for this figure
Falling in love with this design and finally get my hands on it
Damn it's about time they made another toy for this Prime. I recently picked up the original toy and it is without the doubt the best Optimus Prime figure that I own.
I managed to preorder one thanks to your video!
The transformation is nearly identical to the original. I had the Wingsaber combo pack growing up and I regret selling it when I was younger. Easily one of my favorite figures I owned
Now if only we can get a Leobreaker and Savage Claw Mode.
Full Unicron Trilogy Optimus finally got there 3rd masterpiece style
I wanted these so bad when I was a child. I had very cheap KO version of Megatron. I even participated in cartoon Network contests to get these.
The only concern I had with TR-02 CoS was the fact that the arms that attached to the cannons were too long or even uneccessary when in robot mode and flight vehicle mode. And while there was no way to recreate the cannon opening gimmick on the left cannon from the show, the mechanism looked powerful enough to open the outer "jaws" of the cannon
I reaaaallllyyyyy want to see a remake of Megatron from this series. This series.has some of my favorite designs of all time for both Optimus and Megatron. Still have both the originals put up safely
This looks phenomenal, literally perfect.
Agreed!
This version is everything and a little more than what I thought it would be. I had the original version so he is faithful to the original version. It does have so new tweeks to it. I am going to be on the lookout for this Optimus prime for definite. Great review as aways I look forward to seeing your next one.

The second mp this year that goes through mass shifting and dwarfs the mainline counterpart in robot mode, while that not being the case in alt mode

I want this. Now.
I think the original did the galaxy upgrade mode better. The wing span is positioned too high and the guns default positions is supposed to be flipped up not down. Plus this figure is a bit too lean in the upgrade mode. I think he needs a bit more added bulk
The guns were flipped down on purpose before attaching the backpack because they allegedly "got in the way". There is a way to keep them up throughout by manipulating the double jointed bars they are on.
Where do u get ur high quality studio series transformers figures cuz when I buy my figures there so low quality loose joints and pieces tht don't tap
I hope they are working on a leobreaker/ligerjack and wing saber/sonic bomber

GALAXY CONVOY!! SUPER MODE!!
Question: What does Pre-Order do? I’m very new to ordering online so.
pre order is basically paying for it before it arrives to store
YES... flying truck mode :D
Man i might have the original somewhere at my folks, gonna need to visit mom to take a look at it and do a comparison
Five Modes, One Powerful Autobot.
I like it when the transformers are big figures
I know I'm asking too much for the time being, but I'll likely wait to see the final price, and be too late to pre-order by then!
I just got my copy in the mail today and unfortunately, 4 of the fingers crumbled at the pin joints and fell off as soon as I opened the hands. I've already contacted showZstore after sales service to see if they can get replacement hands. I'm interested to hear if other people have had similar issues.
At first glance this looks like a very cheap toy. Then after your review I think it's a very nice cheap toy. It's got articulatable fingers, and the all needed ab crunch. The feet look good too.👍great review job 👏
It's cheaper than Fans Hobby Naval Commander or Energy Commander but TR02 didn't need to be as expensive. Star Commander doesn't have a trailer that turns into a battle station or stores other vehicles, he simply detaches from his super mode parts which can form a turret.
Well I'm annoyed i won't get the key possibly that would have been amazing to get but still exited for the figure tho really
Shame it didn't come with his Cyber-Key. A minor inconvenience at most, however. Maybe one day we'll get Leo Breaker and Wing Sabre for Sonic Wing and Savage Claw Modes. I wonder if the two modes can be used at once. Now, wouldn't THAT be something interesting?
Wait it is supposed to come with one. One channel showcases this.
@@ZERO-Shinkai Yeah right.
I’m thought about Optimus don’t have see in any combiner? For Wing Saber and Leobreaker????
This thing is awesome
You think we will get any of the recolors of this mold that existed?
Galaxy Force Optimus? Hot Zone? Menasor?
I am honestly not so sure. I guess it depends on how well this sells
If they do a Nova Prime it will be extremely hard for me to resist it.
This looks pretty cool, thou I feel they are adding some extra steps that could easily be scrapped for the final product, such as how his shoulder work with the back pack, thou I doult I'll get him, I wouldn't mind if Hasbro took another shot at him but at a commander price point, this verison, its transformation is 99% the same as the original with a few minor and pointless changes
Unpopular opinion: BEST DESIGN FOR OPTIMUS
Is there a flying firetruck mode? If there isn't, I've lost interest. But he looks great.
There is but there were sacrifices that had to be made because the cannons are attached to longer, more flexible bars for super mode. You have to have them flipped up on top of the wings (not show accurate) or if they are below the wings they are highly unstable and flop down. Promo images are on showz.
Imagine if they’ve done Angrybirds Transformers
Double post the battle mask was only deployed in super mode
My big brother and I own the old version of cybertron Optimus prime
Hey Prime I love your video I have been sub for 4 years Autobots roll out.
When you said $150 my mind was blown, thought at least $200🤯
It’s an estimate from the factory it maybe more or less I am not 100% certain :(
It's not over $200. It's either $200 or marginally cheaper than $200. I'm looking at my old Galaxy Convoy toy and the whole thing is roughly the same size as Energon Prime's trailer. He shouldn't be that expensive to produce. TNR even had enough left in the budget to place diecast in TR2.
Man, I tried to pre-order in full price for this figure on ShowZStore, but all it showed was just the deposit. Does this mean that they are pre-sold out?
I don't think so. Showz still has not confirmed a price and release date. I predict this is because their cancelation policy for preorders is very generous. It is their specialty in dealing with third party toys and stock problems happen all the time. It is very easy to refund a couple of dollars in points but very hard to do so for hundreds of dollars if a release gets botched. This figure has been in releading limbo since 2019 I think.
