Rocco The Rayquaza there wouldn't really be a way to make a leobreaker just do to the general natural of it being a retool and how the arms transform......
THANK YOU! You are the first reviewer that voiced my concerns about this figure. I still say the core robot mode is ugly. Takara can actually make it better by adding several milimeters here and there, but they didn't. And the transformation is, well, not really a disaster, but I expected better. This feels like an unfinished prototypr that thrown into production line. Still, it is looks good in Galaxy Mode.
Baltmatrix I think ive found a solution to your seige galaxy optimus prime's truckmode problem. Regarding those missing pieces, i bleave the shoulder pieces for optimus's armor power up mode are the missing pieces for the truck mode.
If you put the two shoulder pieces together they are very similar if not almost the same as the piece on top of the truck. In reality they don’t actually fit, but I kind of agree with what you’re saying. I think it’s the shoulder pads.
Baltmatrix, you are my favorite reviewer on UA-cam. Thanks for giving your honest opinion about this guy, it's crazy how people just say to buy it no matter what. I have hardly any money so if I'm looking at a figure I always check to see what you think of it first.
I wished we get a remold of the Kingdom magnus/nova prime into a Power Master Optimus Prime/Sentinel with Apex Armor, with Galaxy Prime wings of course
0:50 gotta say, I've had my original Cybertron optimus prime since 2006 when I was 8. That thing has been heavily used, but not a single joint on it is loose (they're all ratchets). For all of that figure's design flaws, they just don't MAKE them like they used to.
I have MOST of the original Cybertron Optimus Figure. Just Missing The very ends of the wings, The Right rear Calf Gun thing, and Some headfins. Even Missing all theat, the figure is still freaking BALLER
that roof piece is actually the shoulder pieces in the galaxy upgrade mode and i cant seem to transform prime properly with those on so idk why they put that there
Great review as always. Keep up the good work :) I picked this figure up about 3 weeks ago but I didn't really care for it too much. I ended up returning it and getting the Voyager Optimus Prime which I like a lot better. Funny thing with the voyager class that my wife pointed out to me is that if you fold up the axe blades and keep the handle folded out, it looks similar to a guitar. I now have that figure posed like he's playing a guitar lol
It looks like the picture shows the shoulder pieces still attached and folded back with the arms to make the top of cab. But that isn't possible in the figures released design. Wonder if it's a hold over from an earlier prototype. Also the back part of the truck is very finicky, but once everything is in the right place it becomes much sturdier. It took me a moment to really examine my figure and figure out all the little placements you have to get right. I am much happier with it now.
I'm really hoping a upgarde set or even some filler pieces for the cannons gets released for that figure because I got Nostalgia for the Galaxy forces / Cybertron version of Optimus Prime.
I was going to get this figure but I found an original Cybertron Optimus Prime at Vstock in Kansas City earlier today. He is missing his guns but I really like the figure! I imagine 9 year old me would have a ton of fun with it
The box is showing his truck mode with the galaxy upgrade shoulder sections attached onto the core robot shoulders but there's not enough clearance for that to work on the actual toy
Think your video was fine, seeing someone's face, body language gives more character to one's thoughts. I bought Optimus and Megatron, I really like the Optimus figure. So after hitting the bank, decided to see if I could find a Shockwave, which I did at Target. But also picked up Magnus...thinking I could link him to Prime. Was I wrong, I would need this Prime to do it, but I have the original Cyber/Galaxy Prime...your right, He is a great toy. I like hooking him up with Leobreaker and Wing Saber...to bad I can't link all three at the same time. I'd have Wing, Leo & Nemesis Breaker attached while holding Metroplex's buzzsaw hammer thing.
I have all the Galaxy Optimus Prime there are! I just loved this one! This is not as good as the Original, but definitely a great one! I love the look of the truck mode, looks like a Twistet Metal Truck. Also the fact that you can play with Guns and Armor!
The original Galaxy Force/Cybertron Optimus Prime is still my favorite Transformer of all time. It's worn out and some parts are irreparably damaged, but nonetheless, it remains my favorite, and I still have it to this day, with everything the toy came with still in my possession (all missiles, accessories, etc.), well over a decade since the birthday that my parents got it for me. To see that being reduced to this sorta hurts, because all that crazy good engineering was reduced to this rather lazy lump, but this does have some positives, and in the end, it seems like it's alright. I just wish they had put more care into it. I'm at least happy that they even remember it, though, so if I want a modern interpretation, this will do.
The top part on the cab may be a part on the Takara version.ive noticed that a lot of the box artwork comes with either the prototype version or the Japanese version.
You Autobots take anything back....to DESTROY the evil forces...of the Decepticons, Transformers go! Also, Core Prime really reminds me of the Cybertron Burger King toy I used to have.
I mean they do have looser joints than I'd like, but I don't feel they don't really detract terribly from their ability to hold a pose. Rather interesting Galaxy Prime hasn't shown up on the East coast yet... I live in the Midwest and have had him for a bit less than a month
Found this figure in my local Walmart, was the last one I saw so I snatched it up. It’s not perfect, nor does it replace the original Cybertron Prime I have, but it’s still decent. Plus the core robot mode is what IDW plans on using in their upcoming reboot(?) for some reason so that’s kinda neat, I guess.
I don't care about those issues I just want to have a galaxy prime and magnus. Not bothered bye loose bits. Theres a 3rd party of this to make you happy. I love this figure! How do you dislike the vehicle so much it looks just like the original
I settled for getting an incomplete Cybertron Prime and an incomplete Galaxy Convoy and used pieces from Prime to complete Convoy. Obviously, I was already calling that 'Galaxy Prime'. I still intend to get this figure. I like the Siege line that much.
The side flaps on the legs are screwed in. Trust me. I removed the screws and separated them. You don't want to do that. There is a VERY long plastic guide that is virtually impossible to put back in place if you open the leg panels up. It literally took a Vice, a large flat headed screw driver, and an extra set of hands to get it back on mine.
The missing pieces on the top are the shoulder pads. If you look closely at the image on the box you can see that white stripe that they have. I believe they are just on their sides facing the way they would be if you placed optimus in combined mode on his back with head towards the front of the cab. I could be mistaken.
I definitely stick to the Galaxy Prime ever since both the show and the toy came out. The design of the original is a lot better then the armor wearing Prime pretending to be Ultra Magnus (which is not a bad idea, by the way with the armor swapping.) Thanks for the review, Baltmatrix!
Dude it is 2023 (2019) when this video dropped. As must as they're changing us for these things, it is unacceptable to have any loose joints like that, holy shit.
I've found this here in the east coast region but Target has it locked for another 2 months :/ That said, as someone who pretty much only cares for Transformers Cybertron as an animated series, this is something I absolutely need.
Would’ve been better if they just scaled down the original cybertron mold. Plus then we could’ve maybe gotten a Leobraker and wingsaber for some good cybertron combining goodness.
What I don't like the most about this figure is that is has G1-esque OP with GF cab chest as core robot that turne into Galaxy Convoy Super Mode via whole lot of parts, especially those fake cab shoulder bits. Original fihad cannon-wing backpack and two leg pieces for partforming the Super Mode, with larger mech peed and head integrated into core figure. This has SEVEN parts to make Super Mode. And there is no handgun hidden in one big cannon and second one doesn't open up. That just looks CHEAP compared to 2005 figure.
I don't think I've had a single Siege figure without some problem. My Prime has really, really loose legs! I agree with you, this shouldn't be a thing in 2019. On this figure, yeah, I was intending to get him, but not for the £47.00 asking price, no, nope, noperz, not happening. Will wait for a sale.
Now that balt mentioned the base prime looks bulky like energon prime, a crazy idea came to me: what if a 3rd party company makes an “upgrade” set consisting in recreations of prime's energon drones that combine with this prime to make prime's energon super mode
i've got mine pre ordered, but he wont show up till july because i live in Europe and had to order it from a local online shop. still, they must have something planned with those heel extensions: war for cybertron sonic bomber/wing saber? (edit: i got mine, and his right shoulder is not floppy loose, but loose in the up-and-down motion. his waist is also loose, and his hips: sometimes they barely hang on by their friction)
The backpack piece is removable and you can put it back on, you have to pull down the wast e piece turn around the waist 180 and push down on the backpack and
What you see on the top of the Vehicle Mode Cab appears to be the Super Mode chest. Could you possibly see if its removable? I know Magnus's had a pin in it, but maybe its different for this figure?
I saw this at target and he was $70 but I didn’t buy him because I was saving money for a Nintendo switch. I have a switch now, and I’m wanting him for Christmas. According to the target website, he’s $40, but unfortunately, he’s sold out. On amazon, he’s around $50.
Picked this up at Target (despite my many reservations). Oddly enough, it has QC issues regarding tightness/looseness. ..but in totally different places from Balt's. Very strange.
Gues being in hillbilly heaven in Tennessee we either don't get alot of figures or just have to wait forever. I just got mine 2 weeks ago but he's been around a month or so. I just didn't like it looking at him in the store but has grown on me some
That's a first,this time Prime is the remold of Ultra Magnus
Actually, I think this is the second time.
Second time. First time was CW Magnus to Powermaster Optimus
Oh, how the tables have turned
well, if you think about it the diaclone magnus came first so, I think in a way its the 3rd or 4th time
Second.
How I'd love to have a Galaxy Convoy or Cybertron Optimus Prime *-* it's my favorite from all Optimus incarnations
Would it be cool if we get a Leobraker and get a Savage Claw Mode for this Optimus or a Wingsabor so they can combine.
Rocco The Rayquaza I hope they use the new jet fire to have some secret wing saber combination.
Leobreaker sure but but for wing saber maybe just buy sixgun.
Rocco The Rayquaza there wouldn't really be a way to make a leobreaker just do to the general natural of it being a retool and how the arms transform......
Jetfire48 pegs onto the arms that would also add a small amount of articulation closer to the original material.
@@dol_mel7487 true but it would be cool though

New editing style is great keep it up
I grabbed this figure about 2 weeks ago. It looks cool next to Ultra Magnus, and Shockwave, in robot mode, plus I like collecting the whole set.
0:50 gotta say, I've had my original Cybertron optimus prime since 2006 when I was 8. That thing has been heavily used, but not a single joint on it is loose (they're all ratchets). For all of that figure's design flaws, they just don't MAKE them like they used to.
awesome to put face to the voice after years 😊 legit brother love your vids mate keep up the fantastic work 💙✌👌👍
I wish more transfromers from cybertron (galaxy force) in this line like soundwave or megatron
Would prefer the Galvatron colors since it's not a pure toyetic color like Megatron
I have MOST of the original Cybertron Optimus Figure.
Just Missing The very ends of the wings, The Right rear Calf Gun thing, and Some headfins.
Even Missing all theat, the figure is still freaking BALLER
All I'm missing off mine is his special matrix cyber key.
@@rhaeasoul8531 oh. I forgot, I'm missing that, and his gun as well. Im missing a lot. So i am jealous
Hey man, long time supporter of the channel. Keep doing what you enjoy when it comes to your videos!
I am getting my Siege War for Cybertron Optimus Prime tomorrow. Finally got mine today love it.
honestly the thing on top of the cab of the core truck mode looks like the chest for galaxy convoy
Transformers and Kill la Kill. I see we have many similar tastes
@SolarChroniclesXII noice
Man, original Cybertron Optimus was completely amazing! Like, wow, it was up there like RiD 01 Optimus, but just...better.
But can it do flying truck mode~?
Nope, seen a vid about it, and it cant really be done without the head sticking out on top in the back.
2:25 "putting CRIME on the turntable"
8:32 help me i'm drowning in my own tears of laughter
that roof piece is actually the shoulder pieces in the galaxy upgrade mode and i cant seem to transform prime properly with those on so idk why they put that there

"GALAXY CONVOY!! SUPER MODE!! FORCE CHIP IGNITION!!"
Prime's core bot is also used in IDW's current run of Transformers comics. :D
Prepare yourself.. there’s gonna be a new Armada Optimus Prime
It looks like the picture shows the shoulder pieces still attached and folded back with the arms to make the top of cab. But that isn't possible in the figures released design. Wonder if it's a hold over from an earlier prototype.
Also the back part of the truck is very finicky, but once everything is in the right place it becomes much sturdier. It took me a moment to really examine my figure and figure out all the little placements you have to get right. I am much happier with it now.
I'll admit I saw him on a Walmart shelf and the first thing I said was our worlds are in danger! Probably louder than I anticipated.
Great video, and I'm still a huge fan of the new review style, hopefully you keep doing it this way.
Cant wait to get mine.
I'm really hoping a upgarde set or even some filler pieces for the cannons gets released for that figure because I got Nostalgia for the Galaxy forces / Cybertron version of Optimus Prime.
Hopefully they do a change to his feet to be more or less the same as the original with a double bend at the knee
Loving the new look. Great review. Despite the flaws, I still want galaxy prime.
Thanks for the hard work you have done! New review style is lovely. And nice diaclone reference lol 👌😉

The toy itself looks ok...but the execution of Hasbro's ideas are flawed.
Undecided if i will buy this 1.

Thanks for the review, Baltmatrix!
I might get this two of these optimus figure one to put on the shelf and the other to repaint as nova prime from the comics
Balt, don't worry about format - just good to see your work up more often again.
I'm taking the $50 dollars I could of put on this figure and putting it into the MP scaled version.
Dude it is 2023 (2019) when this video dropped. As must as they're changing us for these things, it is unacceptable to have any loose joints like that, holy shit.
The pins and joints on the legs of my figure are actually really tight and the ratchet joints are pretty tight as well
I've found this here in the east coast region but Target has it locked for another 2 months :/ That said, as someone who pretty much only cares for Transformers Cybertron as an animated series, this is something I absolutely need.
Crazy how this figure has three separate window pieces
*SUPER MODE!!!*
Would’ve been better if they just scaled down the original cybertron mold. Plus then we could’ve maybe gotten a Leobraker and wingsaber for some good cybertron combining goodness.
You look a lot different than I pictured!
The loose legs might just be yours because everything on mine is pretty tight

And there is no handgun hidden in one big cannon and second one doesn't open up. That just looks CHEAP compared to 2005 figure.
the piece that appears in the box ,seems to be the chest of galactic mode
I like the new style. 👍
As for the toy: good bot, BAD vehicle.
Awsome bot and a cool vehicle :p
I legit just bought some Seige items which are Soundwave,Ravage,and Laserbeak. And now I just need more of the Seige line
Siege. I before e, except after c.
I don't think I've had a single Siege figure without some problem. My Prime has really, really loose legs! I agree with you, this shouldn't be a thing in 2019.

It's a silly, crazy and dumb idea but i wanted to share it anyway if anyone's interested
Finally balt review this beast
What you see for the inner core robot truck on the top is the supermode chest idk how your suppose to attach it
i've got mine pre ordered, but he wont show up till july because i live in Europe and had to order it from a local online shop.
still, they must have something planned with those heel extensions: war for cybertron sonic bomber/wing saber?
(edit: i got mine, and his right shoulder is not floppy loose, but loose in the up-and-down motion. his waist is also loose, and his hips: sometimes they barely hang on by their friction)
The backpack piece is removable and you can put it back on, you have to pull down the wast e piece turn around the waist 180 and push down on the backpack and
I think the shoulder pieces are meant to go on the smoke stacks in the vehicle mode
I'm pretty sure if someone reworked the Ultra Magnus mold, the perfect generations prime could be made
These are the three transformers figures they should make:
1. siege grimlock
2. siege sharkticon
3. siege slag
See that's strange because everything on my Optimus is really tight
What you see on the top of the Vehicle Mode Cab appears to be the Super Mode chest. Could you possibly see if its removable? I know Magnus's had a pin in it, but maybe its different for this figure?
Honestly I love this toy it’s awesome, and it’s more fun then the original which i have, and yeah it’s cool but the new one feels less clunky
I still want to get this even though I have the original mold albeit in the recolor.
When are you going to review studio series rampage
The longer back mounted blaster can you seperate the tip into a smaller blaster?
I kind of think the base robot looks like a more traditionally proportioned version of Animated Optimus
If you have the voyager Optimus you can skip this figure but if you don’t think of picking it up.
Can you peg the shin guns on backwards in vehicle mode right above the front wheels to fill in that gap?
It is based on how heavy the armor is causes degragating joints.
GALAXY CONVOY!
SUPPPAAAA MOODDDDDUUU
FORCE CHIP, IGNITION!!!!!!!
easily the most powerful version on prime
one step closer to delta magnus
I saw this at target and he was $70 but I didn’t buy him because I was saving money for a Nintendo switch. I have a switch now, and I’m wanting him for Christmas. According to the target website, he’s $40, but unfortunately, he’s sold out. On amazon, he’s around $50.
My copy joints are just fine so it might be your copy that have that problem or Maybe a faulty batch that got shipped to your retailer
Picked this up at Target (despite my many reservations). Oddly enough, it has QC issues regarding tightness/looseness. ..but in totally different places from Balt's. Very strange.
I like your channel mate very informative and honest 😊✌
Despite said flaws, I still want it
BALTMATRIX Is it possible to create the flying firetruck mode on this figure?
now we just need a wing saber and a leo breaker and we can make savage wing mode
I can't stop thinking if Takara make the legs just a bit longer, the propotion is better. Even just a little.
I think there is an add on kit for that out there.
Gues being in hillbilly heaven in Tennessee we either don't get alot of figures or just have to wait forever. I just got mine 2 weeks ago but he's been around a month or so. I just didn't like it looking at him in the store but has grown on me some
The head reminds me of cyberverse prime, until I figured out it is cyberverse prime
