Other intresting things about this guy: 1 He kept optimus primes head together after that other megatron melted it 2 He has answered a extensive list of questions from fans like you many times on the internet 3 He is both Hermes and The doctor 4 He's cooler than you, don't even try, he just is sorry
I have the gold and orange “Galaxy Force” version of the Cybertron figure and holy moly, he IS a legendary guy. I love the manoeuvrability in the solar panels, they can be a cape, or wings, or whatever your brain decides.
The GF version may have a better deco, but the Cybertron version still has an awesome paint job, especially when compared to today's stuff. It's gotten to a point nowadays that the Legacy Velocitron Override is sold as a voyager class even though its a slightly large deluxe class and people justify it for the paint.
With a Unicron/micron triolgy characters like vector prime,hot shot etc....,I really wonder why takara or Hasbro didn't give us a titans return vector prime out of the alpha trioj/Lio convoy mold,plus with the unique legacy jhiaxus mold,a heavy repaint and retool of it as vector prime
Vector Prime is one of the toys I wish I had bought. By the time he was released, I had "moved on" from collecting toys to collecting other things. But I still went to the toy department every chance I got. When I saw Vector Prime, I was really impressed. He really is a great looking guy. You know, like Repugnus.
Feels like this would be an easy update for legacy/whatever other Generations lines may happen. Keep the overall transformation, maybe do some tricks to slim the legs down in alt mode and maybe compress the nose of the vehicle in robot mode but otherwise just do the same conversion with some modern articulation and it'd be a slam dunk.
This guy was one of my first childhood Transformers, and I kept him in my present day collection for a good while. But since he was missing parts and all his accessories, I eventually ended up donating him after finding the Takara version complete at a good price. That fantastic deco (and finally having the accessories) made me love the toy even more.
Thanks for reminding me how much I want that Takara version. It’s the little things like the edges of the solar panels being painted that make it stand out so much
Fun video! Thank you! I missed out on most versions of this guy, but finally managed to get the Universe version of this mould in black and brown. Doesn't look anywhere near as snazzy as the previous versions, but looks like a passable Sith Infiltrator-type ship in vehicle mode, though.
vector prime my beloved. i got this guy when i was way young at a flea market. not even complete, he's missing his little guy and sword and key. but he really is great, is the thing
I had got black and brown universe 08 figure 15 years ago and got the galaxy force figure last year, and it makes me realize what I’ve missed the last 15 years
I had the Universe recolour they made later with mostly brown colours, and he was a pretty nice fellow when I had him. I await the possible Legacy version.
I can't help but look at the GF version and see it's odd off white greyish color as looking a bit too much like yellowing plastic. It's distracting haha. The Cybertron version looks so pristine and radiant, like Vector is a vision of an era of splendor and prosperity that is long gone. Great review!!!
Vector Prime is the first toy from the Unicron Trilogy i ever purchased, and oh my GOD, I love him. LOVE HIM. And then I got Dark Crumplezone and my interest in the line was completely destroyed.
paid $9 on clearance (thats $100 in today's money) back in the day at Walmart because someone smushed the box. it was also missing his key. fun fact: you could melt down vector and safeguard and have enough plastic to make legacy Menasor.
My experience with this figure was brought down pretty heavily by the large amount of warping on the soft plastic of his wings/cape. Maybe if I can dig him out I might try heat treating it to see if I can fix it, which wasn't an option when I was a kid, but as is he was a big bust for me.
Attempting to collect the entire cybertron line and just picked up a vector prime, would have liked to get the galaxy force version but it was $40 USD vs $100+. The cybertron version is still fantastic though.
Always wanted one of these but not willing to part with a kidney unfortunately we need like universe line 2 or something theres so many really neat molds trapped behind a $200 plus ebay pay wall
What a great figure! Just love those TIE fighter style wings, the bucket head and lets be honest...who doesn't love a cheeky targetmaster? Only Hitler and the ghost of Bin Laden...I would imagine.
I picked up the Takara Galaxy Force release secondhand for a really good price recently. It's such a fantastic toy, very hefty and so much fun to play with. He's pretty much perfect. Also where is that bright pink cyber key from? It looks amazing
I haven't said this since like, ROTF, but I wish that this guy got to show up in the movies. Yeah, Micheal bay would have handled him like a chump. But a chance to see a company like ILM work on a character made of clockwork? They clearly can do it, they made Cogman in the Last Knight! And that one Knight Dragon guy, I forget his name...
Well... There is the Japanese Galaxy Force version, which we saw here. Then there is the less rare western Cybertron:Galaxy Force/Universe 2.0 version, which is the one you described. Functionally the same toy as the regular Cybertron one, just different deco.
Ah! I like the orange sword, as I wanted it to go with my Galaxy Force Optimus prime, but since I never owned the figure I never knew about these two versions, nor if the sword actually fits Prime's hand
0:40 Wait, so then, What is this channel? I big fat lie? is it not a review channel truly? In all seriousness, this toy looks pretty great. Too bad I was 1 or 2 year old at the time this was released, it would be nice to own it, fiddle with it for a while
If the remour leak is true, he is coming in Legacy! That being said, I hope he is not "G1 tify" too much like the other non G1 toy! I rather have him looking similar to this one but without the sound feature and he probably won't come with his minicon partner!
Such a hefty fellow, lots of gimmicks, and nearly no transformation! Just a few folds and swivels! A simpleness likened to an inner pretender. A well-polished pretender-style transformer is still a pretender-style transformer. Can’t say I’m a fan.

That deadpan "aha" to Repugnus was almost visceral

This aged well
Vector Prime is one of my favorite characters in the series. I’d love to see him get a modern figure with updated articulation.
Wish granted

“Hey, you drew me!” he’s probably thinking.
Can I just say, Jo is so lucky to have a friend as good as you.
I agree and I'll absolutely pass this on

Thanks for having my dear auld da on the show, he had a lovely time. Said repugnus was surprisingly down to earth and very funny
We need a legacy vector prime
Hey, if we can get friggin’ Hauler, Scourge and Override I don’t see why they wouldn’t!
Guess who's getting a new figure.
@@dustinarmstrong1168 heh, just wish it hadn’t had the jihaxus legs
“charging up” sound is probably him stopping time
Thanks for reminding me how much I want that Takara version. It’s the little things like the edges of the solar panels being painted that make it stand out so much
Great figure. Always enjoy your reviews.
I genuinely laughed at the ending.
I appreciate a positive review much more from a self-proclaimed "big, contrary pain in the ass" so kudos.
Vector Prime is one of those toys I regret missing out on
Talk about timing! I was just looking up reviews on this guy. You might've sold me on him
Fun video! Thank you! I missed out on most versions of this guy, but finally managed to get the Universe version of this mould in black and brown. Doesn't look anywhere near as snazzy as the previous versions, but looks like a passable Sith Infiltrator-type ship in vehicle mode, though.
Every noise this figure makes is like sound effects for an analogue horror creature.
The 'uh-huh' made me laugh out loud.
I like this guy! I had him when I was little and I like his ancient clockwork vibes
vector prime my beloved. i got this guy when i was way young at a flea market. not even complete, he's missing his little guy and sword and key. but he really is great, is the thing
I had the Universe version, goodness I want this one!! He's such a fun toy, I played so many games with him and LOVED him in the cartoon.
Thanks Gavin, cheers friendo....
I had got black and brown universe 08 figure 15 years ago and got the galaxy force figure last year, and it makes me realize what I’ve missed the last 15 years
Aw. You ARE a real Transformers review channel, Gavin. We believe in you. Now mix daddy another Margarita *hic*.

I still want a Vector prime, I did when I was a wee lad; and I still want one today, such a cool design!
Great video! Always wanted this guy, and I still do.
Also you didn't need to call that a uretha missile
That's the official name
"ARR! WORLDS ARE ENDANGERED!"
He would make for a really cool Legacy character. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve thought about it
I saw Repugnus kick that bin bag.
😅😂
looks like a warhammer 40K chracter. so majestic.
God I want a modern Vector Prime just so I have another chance to get one of him
My experience with this figure was brought down pretty heavily by the large amount of warping on the soft plastic of his wings/cape. Maybe if I can dig him out I might try heat treating it to see if I can fix it, which wasn't an option when I was a kid, but as is he was a big bust for me.
Attempting to collect the entire cybertron line and just picked up a vector prime, would have liked to get the galaxy force version but it was $40 USD vs $100+. The cybertron version is still fantastic though.
If there was ever a time to bring back Mech Alive, it would be a modern version of Vector Prime
Looks like he's from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away
I got 4 copies of him to get 1 complete one, but it definitely worth it!
He does look very handsome
3:26 Gasp! Vector is combining with himself?!? For shame! There are children watching!
I was like 'SAFEGUARD....LIKE...ANIMATED SAFEGUARD?! NO?! NO'
@@TRDQ. OH! Actually, that's very awesome! Vector fire and Vector storm to bigger Safeguard for mini Safeguard to pilot! Yes, Gavin, YES!
Oddly, they have him in Dublin City Comics right now and I was eyeing him up not two hours ago!
You should absolutely get him if he's not too dear. But DCC are usually reasonable?
@@TRDQ €30, which isn't too bad at all!
The transformation reminds me of siege starscream. I got this guy be he was missing his sword and minicon witch sucks but I paid maybe a dollar
Always wanted one of these but not willing to part with a kidney unfortunately we need like universe line 2 or something theres so many really neat molds trapped behind a $200 plus ebay pay wall
Sigh. Now I has to has him. 😢
What a great figure! Just love those TIE fighter style wings, the bucket head and lets be honest...who doesn't love a cheeky targetmaster? Only Hitler and the ghost of Bin Laden...I would imagine.
Poor little guy 3:10 😂
I picked up the Takara Galaxy Force release secondhand for a really good price recently. It's such a fantastic toy, very hefty and so much fun to play with. He's pretty much perfect.
Also where is that bright pink cyber key from? It looks amazing
A custom by my friend Matt who makes them by hand!
@@TRDQ Ah, he did a fantastic job!
I know this is unrelated to this video but... MONKEY SHELF update when?
1:22 Is that a Cyber Planet key in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Your friend isn’t gonna be happy when he sees his toys are smashed to bits…There’s only one thing to do in this situation…Blame it on Repugus!
Even repugnus is inspired by him
If you ever make videos about transformers that are quick, you could always rebrand to TRDQ. Lol I’m so clever 😂
I haven't said this since like, ROTF, but I wish that this guy got to show up in the movies. Yeah, Micheal bay would have handled him like a chump. But a chance to see a company like ILM work on a character made of clockwork? They clearly can do it, they made Cogman in the Last Knight! And that one Knight Dragon guy, I forget his name...
Wait, the galaxy force ones on eBay are more yellow and has transparent orange parts even the sword is orange .
Are there 2 galaxy force versions?
Well...
There is the Japanese Galaxy Force version, which we saw here.
Then there is the less rare western Cybertron:Galaxy Force/Universe 2.0 version, which is the one you described. Functionally the same toy as the regular Cybertron one, just different deco.
There are!
Ah! I like the orange sword, as I wanted it to go with my Galaxy Force Optimus prime, but since I never owned the figure I never knew about these two versions, nor if the sword actually fits Prime's hand
What and where does the pepto bismol pink planet key come from?
Custom made by my pal Matt
@@TRDQ tell him he's the goat
How many of the 13 Primes have they made toys of?
Hmmm I do not know!
Can I ask him something?
0:40 Wait, so then, What is this channel? I big fat lie? is it not a review channel truly?
In all seriousness, this toy looks pretty great. Too bad I was 1 or 2 year old at the time this was released, it would be nice to own it, fiddle with it for a while

unfortunately i have the opposite problem to you, i only have the cyber planet key
Let's swap
@@TRDQ haha deal
First you DRAW Vector Prime, now you REVIEW Vector Prime? WHERE DOES IT END?
Vector prime cosplay?
No I just didn't buy one that was like 25 bucks because I've got no more money, and you're just gonna make me regret it now
Such a hefty fellow, lots of gimmicks, and nearly no transformation! Just a few folds and swivels! A simpleness likened to an inner pretender.
A well-polished pretender-style transformer is still a pretender-style transformer. Can’t say I’m a fan.
I wouldn't exactly say he was a great toy, but hes good, but not great by any means
Cool
