I swear to god I was watching Rise of the Beasts as Optimus was first using the sword arms again and I was sitting there thinking, "Man, an axe is way more iconic and interesting a weapon choice for a leader/protagonist than swords, I miss Primes axe" and exactly as I thought that the AXE CAME OUT! It was so rad, man.
To explain the back of the truck, the designers said they literally ran out of budget so had to make do with the rear end of the truck. If it had a leader budget, they likely would’ve made a masterpiece level truck mode, but as it stands it’s still serviceable at best (from the front). Hopefully an upgrade kit comes out soon to rectify some of the issues
They could've hone hame with a new figure budget, let alone a new leader budget. They should remake the BBM design with a trailer to necessitate the class bump.
Because of stuff like this I'm starting to feel like Optimus Prime (and Megatron, as well) should be Leaders. Just imagine how complex and awesome looking both of them would be at such a scale.
@@IAmInfinitus208 i imagine those pieces will be mainly new smoke stacks and new calf pieces that has an extra hinge to fold out to sit flat against the back, creating a back profile on a similar level to SS38, as well as possibly having the things that stick out of his leg fold inwards for a cleaner look
I have mixed feelings on Optimus from the Bayformers movies, but I think the _ROTB_ Optimus Prime was the best live-action iteration of the character thus far. Because the character's aggressive side felt established better and a bit more justified, with him being frustrated being stuck on Earth without a way home and feeling vengeful against Scourge for killing Bee, and actually going through a character arc of learning not to forsake mankind in his quest to find a way home. It's like, this is the live-action Optimus Prime I've been wanting for all my life. And the fact they gave him a modernized version of his G1 design with his face being modeled off of Peter Cullen was just the icing on the cake.
I feel like it's about the same Watching Bayverse and seeing the same sht happen again and again and the humans not trusting Optimus, makes it make sense. I'd be angry and bitter too
I fully agree! Rotb Optimus is my favourite variation, the transformers prime being a very close second. But I feel his character arch is the strongest we’ve seen and honestly just makes a lot of sense
Kinda wish someone at Hasbro dabbled into witchcraft and cast some spell to fuse the best aspects of both SS-38 and 102 into one figure. And yeah, I'd definitely love to see a deluxe ROTB Arcee. Hell, I bet some of the 3rd party boys could do wonders with the design!
There's never a transformer I wanted a Premium Finish version for more than this guy. He has so much gray that should be silver! The leg engineering is a problem, but some hinges for the sides of the leg panels to fold against the cab for a cleaner silhouette and a way to shift up the feet would easily rectify this. The paint on the spine, the grill, the smokestacks, and especially the chassis and leg panels are the worst parts about the figure imo.
I finally got this figure the other day. It was sold out on Hasbro and nearly 100 bucks on Amazon. But i got super lucky when I went to target and snatched the last one on the shelf
Omg! This is one of the best 2023 SS figures I've ever seen!! And If I get this figure, I'm gonna do the custom paint job on this figure looks like an actual movie version!!
First of all - I was waiting for this review. Prime was amazing in the RotB movie and this figure is just epic! So so great sculpt! Just wow! I have just sold my ss38 to preorder this Prime! PrimeVsPrime as always you are great and have so good review. Thank you very much. With a Roll out greetings from Poland❤
I think the scale between Arcee and Prime isn't too far off. I mean, it's a Freightliner truck compared to a Ducati motorcycle. It really shouldn't have been a Buzzworthy Bumblebee exclusive, but don't they later show up in the main Studio Series line?
I was hoping this figure would look more accurate to the movie. I'll just stick with SS38. There are way to many things wrong with this one. Another thing is it uses the Bumblebee movie head while SS38 uses the rotb head.
The stuff that was flaring out behind the truck cab could have easily just folded inward, and the inner leg that would show on the outside of the truck mode couldve had molded details of the back of the truck.
What a cracking figure! Agree on the vehicle mode being half finished. I hope we get to see the scene where OP rams Scourge with his bull bars when BluRay gets released. I think there's quite a lot of missing scenes featured in the trailer, that were not in the film. I'd love to see more / expanded action scenes from rotb, although it was cool when OP Freightliner drifted down that hill behind Mirage befroe transforming.
Target really won out on this one. I think I heard that it was slated as a Buzzworthy figure when they thought it would be mostly re-use of SS38... but somehow in the design and tooling process they ended up making a mostly new figure.
Optimus' coldest line in the movie would have to be when he was beating the hell out of scourge, his line was "now you know the true power of a prime!"
Hey primevsprime there is probably a very slim chance you see this but if you can or if you are going to do it can you do a review on legacy evolution Bomb shell I would really like a review on it thank you if you do. Also this review was very cool have a good day
thanks for this mate, my copy of the fourth party knock-off from black mamba has crappy instructions that are missing steps, basically would be better used as toilet paper
God, that truck bed is HIDEOUS. Especially compared to the borderline perfect SS Bumblebee Optimus. What the hell, Imma go grab the mainline voyager figure instead.
I only just started watching this video, and I can already tell that he has a similar transformation to his bumblebee movie counterpart. Also......GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!
Robot mode looks really good, hot rod shoulders aren’t really working for me with this design especially on Optimus, but that’s really my only complaint. Everything that’s red on the truck is amazing but the blue bits are so bad it ruins it.
my only gripe about the truck mode for this optimus is how the blaster is on the side of the back truck rather than it being where you would put the trailer like how it was shown in the end of the movie, but aside from that this genuenly has to be my favorite optimus prime figure.
It’s cool that leader class Optimus primal is going to include a battleaxe that was meant for optimus, but because they didn’t have time nor the space to place the axe accessory, they thought. Hey, why don’t we include the axe on this figure as a little bonus for Optimus figure owners
I need to pick this up but do you know where to get this in the uk as it’s buzzworthy bumblebee.I love this design so much and the vehicle mode is sick
I completely forgot about that scene where he rams Scourge, until you mentioned it! They did seem to have cut quite a bit for the final version. Either way I pre-ordered this guy. Love the design.
I like how they had a more or less perfect mold of the knightverse optimus, and managed to downgrade it slightly with this. To be honest, paint is improved along with the arms but the shoulders are where im complaining. The shoulders are a bit too small? Higher and just doesnt fit prime.
FINALLY...had to get it off eBay but YES, got mine! It's a great figure, although alt does have the weak backend but it looks like DNA is going to fix that!
I know it defeats the purpose of DNA Upgrade, but they should've just given him the small smokestacks. It would save money for the transformation, and make the robot mode better. I think they also should've swapped the little "Blaster" for his axe.
Love this figure. He's definitely gonna get some paint on those unpainted grey parts and some of those blue mechanical details to really bring him to life once my order finally processes
I will get DOTM prime for Christmas, and then I will get this ROTB Optimus Prime for my birthday in my opinion ROTB prime looks perfect 👍 I will create a stop motion series with a cross over with Disney Cars..also I love collecting studio series transformers toys. They are so accurate to the movies I also like custom painting them
I wonder if the legs can be replaced with legs from another Optimus prime toy. To give him a better truck back. When I get the toy I'll pull out my tool set to see if it could. Or maybe I'll just 3D print a new design for the legs myself to modify both the truck and robot mode.
Say primevsprime since you have the different ss primes now which one should I get should I get 05 38 or 102 like who has the best robot mode truck mode articulation and best accessories
Thanks for your review! I am so so disappointed in this figure that I am considering cancelling my pre-order. The vehicle mode is so ugly from behind, side and top. I am paying 48€ for this?!!
Is it just me or does it seem like Hasbro doesn't put much effort into their Transformers toys now like they used to before? Most of the Rise of the Beasts toys have been terrible so far. It's no wonder more collectors are buying third party Transformers toys now.
That truck bed completely ruins the alt’ mode. It would have been so much nicer and less complicated if they had based the leg transformation on something like voyager class Evasion mode Optimus Prime. 😞
I'm sure at some point..some 3rd party company will come with an upgrade for the arm cannon to look more movie accurate ..including an additional piece to look like it came out of the forearm
I swear to god I was watching Rise of the Beasts as Optimus was first using the sword arms again and I was sitting there thinking, "Man, an axe is way more iconic and interesting a weapon choice for a leader/protagonist than swords, I miss Primes axe" and exactly as I thought that the AXE CAME OUT!

Optimus in the 2007 movie is actually fuckin solid. But as we know, ROTF(aka the worst TF movie in existence besides TLK) destroyed everything.
@@Turbo.RF4Yeah even back when I was a kid I felt the shift in Revenge of the Failure onwards was quite jarring from his portrayal in the 2007 movie.

Bro This Figure Looks So Amazing Like The Bumblebee Movie Optimus
It’s really cool!
I agree, but the bumblebee movie Optimus is a pain as hell to transform
I own the ss bb movie op and he is funny to transform

In my opinion this mold would be near enough perfect if he had just had a port to attach a trailer.
That truck mode pretty much cooled my excitement for this figure.
Omg! This is one of the best 2023 SS figures I've ever seen!!
And If I get this figure, I'm gonna do the custom paint job on this figure looks like an actual movie version!!

So Primed up for this SS Optimus!

It's the best out there and very nice review by the way also I am commenting just after 1 second. after you uploaded 😅
I've been avoiding other reviews on this; I like how thorough your's are
Love it! Thanks primevsprime!
in my opinion, except for the mp-10, this is the first time an Optimus figure has looked better than its on screen counterpart

He showed us the real power
Of a prime
Optimus literally was dropping one liners the whole movie. The og the main chatacter, Optimus was the main giy IMO
As of right now, nothing could have prepared this figure for the beauty that Baiwei made and what Lucky Cat is about to make soon enough.
Imagine a studio series aplink that would be sick👌
Yes they put in a lot of detail Like I said on That. Video a couple months ago

Stratosphere and he comes with a little bumblebee like from his ROTF prime he had
Only thing I don't like about this Prime is the blaster. It feels too small from the images. Still super excited for this guy.
the fact he cusses the mpm 12 is just funny bruh

There’s going to be a Dk upgrade kit !!!! And for ROTB scourge 🎉
Can't wait for Magnificiet Mecha MM version of this. It will be a minor modification of their current MM01 Optimus Prime
I like how they had a more or less perfect mold of the knightverse optimus, and managed to downgrade it slightly with this. To be honest, paint is improved along with the arms but the shoulders are where im complaining. The shoulders are a bit too small? Higher and just doesnt fit prime.
I personally could care less about the alt mode, as long as the Robot mode is accurate as possible.
Time to show power of prime really Optimus Prime and Bumblebee is my favourite and mirage is also ❤❤❤❤
Studio Series should start making figures of the human cast i mean they already did it for Spike Witwicky why not Noah with the exosuit

The transformation reminds me of a simplified version of magnificent mecha optimus prime's transformation.

Definitely need a Leader class version.
