Dang he finally got it
Doesn't cheat like the rest hah
Your damn wright!
Where can i find ver Jeep?And dropckik car?
I still think SS102 is better than SS38 despite the leg kibble in truck mode. The proportions and overall cleaner torso on SS102 really sell it for me
I personally think 102 was kinda half baked compared to 38. 38's biggest issues are accuracy to the movie and the leg transformation. However, 102 has ALOT more issues. The shoulder articulation really brings it down, the smokestacks are just bad, and the roof of the truck is gray for no reason. And these issues are ALL present even though 90% of the budget went to the torso. And of course, the legs. I personally wouldn't mind the legs if the torso didn't have as many issues as it did.
@@kinjapleb4228 fair enough. I've only handled the 38 mold once and am only really interested in getting 102. The shoulders do suck though
@tarnishedspark511 My only hope is that 102 is this compromised due to being a target exclusive, maybe in the future we'll get a more wide release that fixes the issues.
@@tarnishedspark511I have 38, 38 is by far one of my best toys
102 looks better, but its held back by the leg kibble in the truck, and the horrible shoulder joints.
Honestly the one takeaway from this video is that I'm not the only one with a Target that sucks at stocking stuff. Kinda validating in a way. Thanks emgo
Yeah, mine suck as well. I can never find anything good in stores anymore
Same
It's not your Target. It's Hasbro, back at it again with unjustifiably poor distribution. I managed to grab the last one on my eighth stop of the Target spree that I took on restock day.
@@LoftyLoo so it is a confirmed Hasbro thing then? Do you know why? Are they trying to like increase scarcity or something?
@@jakehefnerits probably a mix of both. I'm pretty sure Target has to place orders of stock towards Hasbro, but Hasbro dictates when they're allowed to hit shelves. This and the fact that most pre-orders sold out and are either fulfilled or backordered
It’s so delicious watching the updated way Optimus transforms happen in real time, the first was ssbbm Prime with the amazing leg transformation despite them not holding together well and the torso was kind of chunky with how the front wheels stored (he’s still my all time favourite Optimus figure though). Second was Earthrise being an almost perfect rendition of g1 Optimus with an absolutely incredible chest/front grill transformation despite having wheels on his back. And finally we have this guy, the wheels store away perfectly, but the arms and the roof and the legs are the new flaws. Hopefully there will eventually be an ss86 Optimus made that is a final ultimate version that combines the similar engineering of them all into a perfect Optimus figure
I just want a clean freightliner fl-86 with a good robot mode 😭😭😭, is that really too much to ask?
@@popsjrYES, who do you think you are?!?!
@@shockulas3875 😂, we seemed so close though with ss-38! It honestly just needed a new wheel transformation (like with ss102), slightly better proportions, and some smaller cosmetic changes. The truck was genuinely perfect, with it's one flaw being a single hinge on the door, and the fact that it's a Marmon AGT-AC 86. And that's a super easy fix, it's Litterally just a remolding of the grill. I honestly hoped ss102 would finally be the masterpiece style freightliner... But nah.
@@popsjr Thats it right there, they have to leave us wanting more! If they give us perfection then we won't need to buy anymore OPs from them and Hasbro can't have THAT
I just love how positive emgo is for all of these videos
almost too positive if you ask me. Even when he's truly not okay with something, he'll still touch on it with rose tinted glasses, which is not really a good thing for a reviewer.
@@TheInsanebrain247he comepletely shits on the figure sometimes, idk what type of lore you're trying to make for a living human being.
@@TheInsanebrain247 he just doesn’t get into the nitty gritty like some reviewers do, PvP literally talks 600 words per minute so emgo just sounds like he doesn’t say much when he just generalizes a lot of things. which i do like about him
@TheInsanebrain247 if I feel something is bad, I say it. I don’t have be a hyperbolic ass about it like other reviewers and people in the comments. I don’t demand perfection because I know there’s no such thing and I also know how the business works so I’m not gonna crucify people for doing their job the way they were told to do it. If I see something as a flaw, I point it out and move on and that’s all that need be done. I’m a glass half full guy, so I’ll always look on the bright side and give credit where it’s due.
@@emgo316 Top Tier Reviewer right there
That bit at the end actually makes sense considering most Primes throughout Transformers history have been batshit insane crazy and or evil
He really did showed us the power of the prime till all are one
I have been waiting for your review on him, you are my favorite reviewer when it comes to figures. I really enjoy the skits and jokes you put out throughout your videos. Cant wait to get mine this Thursday until then keep up the great work EmGo!!
Thanks for watching!
It continues to amaze me that MP10 solved the visible shins issue over a decade ago, but they haven't bothered to repeat the engineering since.
Can't wait for Emgo to get the DNA Kit 44 for this figure! Those extra accessories would make this Prime look more accurate and definitely more enjoyable.
If they included two hand cannons you could pretend they're boosters in truck mode.
I was kinda disappointed it doesn't turn into a port to attach a trailer, myself...
I love the figure, but as a Peruvian, that backdrop is really special ❤ I hope I can get my hands on this guy!
A great robot mode with a yee yee ass truck mode.
Hasbro, why are you like this.
I'll still take this over the Mainline Voyager Optimus.
@@joshmontemayor1212
WELL I BEG TO DIFFER
Damn! The short double elbow joint was cool, but that offset hip joint is an impressive concept.
If they could work in a secondary hip joint swivel to allow bending in both direction it might be the best possible posability on a solid hip design.
Got mine last week 😊
He is probably my favorite movie version of Prime
Honestly I don’t really watch emgo but now after this he’s amazing at this
Yeah emgo a DNA design upgrade kit IS on the way for this figure. I saw it a couple days ago on Instagram and it has the correct size arm canons and additional options for the figure. Love your vids dude keep it up man. 😁
The robot mode is way better than the previous SS Bumblebee however the downside is the truck mode is is messy. Overall I still prefer the Bumblebee SS38.
I pre-ordered him on Target's website back in June & I should be getting him sometime between tomorrow & August 15th.
Same
Same, mine's coming between tomorrow and the 7th. Super excited. He looks awesome.
@@braydenpage1808, not to mention that he's more movie-accurate in both robot & truck mode than the Mainline Voyager.
Finally, I was waiting for your take on this figure
If you knew where I could get one sooner, why didn’t you tell me? Lol
@@emgo316 I'm not American, If so, I'd have helped you. Also, thanks for relying on me, I have watched your videos for nearly 10 years, your reviews are so charismatic!
Yay, a good review finally
I really wish I was able to get one! I can only find him second hand at stupidly high prices now.
I really hope he gets a re-release under normal Studio Series
Am I the only one who prefers the mainline? Looks better in truck mode, and with a little extra paint it looks good in robot, as well.
I do like the proportions and sword from this one, though.
I’ve put a good amount of time into painting my mainline and it looks worlds better. I prefer it over the ss102 due to less kibble and the shoulder articulation of the 102 prime is god awful. Idk how they managed that. The ss38 was superior in those aspects. Why change something that’s not broken?
Mine finally shipped and I can’t wait for him to show up!
Just got mine today at target
I'm also currently working on my review
First wait for the upgrade kit
I don’t think Studio Series Mirage has been released yet it's probably why you can’t find him.
I’m talking about the mainline version.
@@emgo316 ooh that makes more sense
Can't wait for you to review the DNA Design upgrade kit for this Prime 😁
How does everyone keep getting this figure…
“Time to show you the real power of the Pizza Bagles”!!!
I've seen a few pictures floating around on Twitter showing off that it is possible to swap the legs of the figure with the SS Bumblebee Optimus, which leads to a cleaner truck mode
My favorite thing about these newer movie prime figures, is that for years we had two Optimus Transformations:
The Standard Optimus Transformation
And the Standard MOVIE transformation.
The only major difference being where the arms folded into.
But now it's just all Standard Optimus Transformation and I don't know why, but that makes me happy
Eh, for me personally, it makes it really boring. Yeah, it will have some slight changes, but functionally it's mostly the same transformation every time (PLEASE prove me wrong on this and suggest interesting Optimus figures)
@@bumbleprime7713 basically anything high end that they got in Japan and was never Imported to US markets.
Some of the early Masterpiece stuff had weird decisions (especially the Japanese releases).
But if you really want convoluted Optimus transformations- the 2007 movie Leader Class was the standard "movie" transformation, but with all the intuitivenes of a rusty brick.
Back before they figured out how to do "over engineered but still fun".
Honestly one of my first Ops was the original movie Leader class and while it looked good, I hated transforming it back and forth because even compared to most other scale optimuses (such as that eras voyager equivalent) it was difficult and took a lot of time.
Which is probably I prefer the simplified "standard Optimus" transformation.
Although on a personal note, in hand this specific Optimus does have a harder transformation than "Evasion Mode" Op from AOE, as well as WOC/Earthrise line Ops.
It's still the standard Optimus "flip head, tuck arms, bend waist, rotate torso", but like the video shows there's a lot of weird little details that mostly went the way of the dinobots in recent transformers releases.
@@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment I actually do have that 2007 leader class figure lol, and yeah he's an absolute brick
Oh my God! The Medium Prime Bloosh is amazing! The smaller text, the low energy, borderline disappointed way you said it, all of it was perfect and hilarious!
I can't believe I'm saying this, But that little bloosh was pathetic, Of course it's not your fault Emgo, It was the way that hand cannon was made.
The Medium Prime Bloosh is pretty movie-accurate. You see, Optimus' arm cannon in the movie hardly did any damage.
there is an upgrade kit where one of the biggest change is now optimus has an axe and two new guns who are much larger
Unfortunately the only thing leg-wise DNA is doing for SS102 is new feet.😢
This figure is currently sold out on both Hasbro Pulse and Target's online store. I called my local Target to see if they had one in store. They said they carry it but didn't have any in stock. Several people who did pre-order their copy of this figure have reported that their order was backordered or even cancelled because it went out of stock. Of course Hasbro underproduces a figure that was highly anticipated and makes it an exclusive to a store that has a reputation of being slow at putting things in stock. This is a poorly handled situation.
Mine is paid for and ready to ship, I can't wait! And I also put in a Pre-Order for the DNA upgrade kit for him, that's gonna help make him look way better in truck mode and just be a tad more accurate and posable which will be nice.
I got on UA-cam just to look for this review and it's the first thing I see. Perfect
Wow what a coincidence, I literally just found and bought this figure today.
Same here!!
Man y’all are so lucky, all the targets within a 20mi radius have zero in stock
You can always pretend that you have Mirage already and he's invisible.
I felt like a million bucks when I saw one at my old super target the other week, I still have in the box bc I'm gonna move soon but I can’t wait to take him out. Hopefully I can get Studio Series Primal as soon as I can
I cant wait to get mine so hyped for it.
This guy looks so good! Praying Target actually ships out the preorder for it so I can get it
Eyyy you found it!
let them come
Love this figure and good thing im getting the DNA design kit for this guy
Great video! Loved the mini bloosh!
Thank you emgo for another amazing review
We need a third version where they amalgam the best traits of both SS38 and SS102.
Prime looks good
I was waiting for this review. I just got my SS rotb Scourge the other day, next paycheck, Imma check my local Target, they seem to have a better track record with updating the shelves with newer stuff, in this case my Walmart SUCKS. To give you an idea, there still selling wave one Legacy Bots, Imagine how SS is going...
I think they missed a trick for turning the handcanon into a trailer hitch
Unfortunately this isnt based on the final design which is why its so inaccurate. Its based on an earlier design used in the "Are You Ready?" deleted scene. It still uses the Bumblebee movie head too which is weird because SS 38 uses the ROTB head.
I'll be waiting for the review for when the DNA kit is added in ^^ love the vids
For real ultraprime
This dude doesn’t disappoint with all the reviews he pulls for the action figures
I've got mine coming in the mail through Hasbro Pulse. Looking forward to this one, and the DNA upgrade kit is going to improve this figure a lot.
I really liked SS38 and I bought the OS Apex God of War and I loved how they upgraded the mold. I like SS102 but those legs are a deal breaker for me. Let's see if this one gets the OSKO treatment too.
Of course you can't find Mirage he turns invisible, you need special decoder glasses that come with Wheeljack to see him.
The one time, at least in these skits, that Rattrap wasn’t told to shut up, all because of how right he was. Even Primal agreed.
I have to say, as far as screen-accuracy goes, SS Prime knocks its out of the park! But as far as being a toy goes… I’m giving it to mainline Prime. He mostly has better articulation (especially the shoulders and feet; the head being on a swivel is the worst one) and his transformation feels just a bit more straightforward. As a truck I like SS Prime more because I prefer the Freightliner over the generic concept art truck. I like what it does right despite how messy the bed can get.
I feel the messy truck bed was due to the way the legs transformed: Fix the feet and keep the legs in place (like what the DNA kit did) and it'd actually be perfect.
I cant wait for this thing to get its upgrade kit
The Alt mode is a much more improvement than the main line one
The robot mode is also more movie-accurate than the Mainline Voyager. He even comes with the arm cannon & energon blade, while the Mainline Voyager doesn't.
Mine will be here on Friday! I can't wait
Where did you get him and how and how much did he cost I’ve been trying to get him
Hey emgo316 awesome video like allways just noticed that this optimus prime is is borrowing a few pieces from the studio series bumblebee optimus prime witch is awesome. Might try and find this guy my self all the way here in the UK. Also nice new gold Decepticon ring.
I had this in preorder and it's been shipped so just waiting on it to get to me. Found the mainline three pack with mirage in it at my target.
My Targets suck too. Though i did manage somehow to find a Scourge there.
A premium finish version, like with the bumblebee one (SS-02), would be dope! The gray parts look a little too cheap on this one.
I cant wait to see what dna brings out for this.
i can't unsee the face that the windows and the abdominal section make in robot mode
Awesome reviews as always. A little surprised you didn’t compare ss38 to it more and give your opinion on which you like more.
I now cannot unsee the huge smiling face that makes his body.
That half-hearted bloosh.😂
SS102 is pretty decent and all, but I’ll always find SS38 to be just a hair superior with its stellar knockoffs making it easier to get ahold of the mold. Plus, SS102 and the mainline voyager prime have been super elusive, with SS102 being inaccessible where I live due to no targets existing, and I’ve only managed to get ONE voyager prime, and he was the only one I could find. The rest of the voyagers was just rinox.
I honestly hope that some third party companies make knockoffs of SS102 that are as good as the SS38 knockoffs. It really would help get the mold to people faster AND make it far less expensive.
I was lucky enough to grab one of the few Pulse had. I say lucky because I also have yet to see any in store!
I'm super excited to get my Optimus Prime figure (my Target order is delayed unfortunately). This figure looks fantastic. I normally don't buy 3rd party upgrade kits, but I'm probably going to get this figure's upgrade kit just for the better arm cannons.
I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it
I NEED IT!!!!
Nice SpongeBob reference.
Hey emgo glad you got the studio series rotb prime. Now you can do a skit called rise of the pizza beagles with him, lol. PS if you do see this comment and do the skit, give me a shoutout if you can.
Man I really want to get this Optimus. I almost pre-ordered him back on Sunday, when they had pre-orders for him again, but it slipped my mind. By the time I remembered, it’d been about an hour and a half and already the pre-orders were sold out. And come the next day the figure’s all set for shipping, which made the blow even worse for me.
And so now I’ve been Target hunting to try and find Optimus. Only problem is Hasbro’s distribution-and maybe Target being slow at stocking things up. Sadly no luck as of yet as the only new Buzzworthy figure the Targets near me have gotten is a whole bunch of Tow-lines. It certainly doesn’t help that people are scalping this Optimus and selling him for around twice to three times his initial price.
I swear it’s going to be trying to find Legacy Tarn all over again(And I’ve only ever seen one copy of Tarn in any store I’ve checked out).
Im shocked my local target had 4 of these and several grimlock reissues. Thought I'd have to let a scalper win for one of these bad boys
‘Bout to get ma hands on this baby by Thursday, can’t wait!
Another great review as always.
I think the distribution of transformers toys around certain city's at different retailers around the world does seem really odd this year
So glad i pre ordered cause i knew it was going to be a pain to find it
When I get this figure (if Hasbro makes enough copies of this figure long enough for me to order one) I'll keep this one in robot made and keep my SS38 in vehicle mode pulling the trailer from the DotM deluxe class Movie Trilogy Optimus Prime set (the trailer was oversized for the figure it was included with and is bigger than the Eartrise/Kingdom trailer).
I don't mind them sacrificing the alt mode. Every time.
Ive found him at several targets in my area. I live in SoCal. I got mine for retail and picked up one for a good friend today. I wonder how distribution works with Target and Hasbro.
The medium blooooooosh we need more for that 😂😂😂
The studio series version is definitely the better one but considering some of the absolute tosh we've had in the last 15 years, that mainline Prime is pretty damn amazing.
Went to three targets couldn’t find him then all of a sudden he is sold out😢😢😢
Yes emgo finally has it. While mine’s still on Backordered
Kinda sad Rattrap wasn't in the movie.. Then he coulda met his great, great AUNT!!😂
SS102 "looks" better than the mainline, but I think Mainline Prime is more fun to transform and play with.
Yay you got him!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
the DNA upgrade kit costs $44… more than the figure itself
I would think the shins should fold down to fill the gap on the rear wheels.
Hey Emgo. We love your reviews. Did you get the mainline mirage yet?
They nailed balance between bot and alt mode on prime back in 09 and managed to fit a matrix chamber.
Now we gotta sacrifice half the alt mode...
I'm sorry, but I'm having a problem with seeing his chest as a happy face wearing oversized sun glasses. Love the figure though, love the figure. Waiting on mine in the mail. Thanks for the great review emgo!
