This Toy alone inspired generations for 40 years. Optimus Prime is the definition of a real hero and a fatherly figure. I was very happy when finally this prime got a another spotlight and a throwback to the original. Every time i look at this figure it reminds me of the phrase ''If your gonna be a hero Peter , Be a real hero. Be strong enough to be gentle ''.
As someone who got the original when I was a kid back in the '80s, this toy makes me so happy. This IS Optimus Prime. He existed before the cartoon. The blue-eyed cartoon version was basically the commercial misrepresenting the product it was trying to sell. I also love how authentically '80s that chromed Matrix chamber looks even though the original didn't have it.
I have the original still as well. This this is awesome. Now all I need is reissue of the GI JOE tomcat, I broke mine and all these years later I still kick myself for doing that.
I had a lot of these. My favorite was........me and my grandma went to target way back in the day in LA. walking by the toys was omega-supreme😮omg. She said no and like a spoiled brat tears started streaming down my face lol but this was omega-supreme it was worth it because nobody I knew had it this was the toy of toys at the time and there was only one box. I got my a$$ whooped when we got home but totally worth it lol
3093exciter l agree. I really hope the missing link line makes a prowl Jazz hound bluestreak and definitely a Megatron with the gun mode. Release all the autobot cars. No more blaster and soundwave reissues.
The nostalgia is off the charts but, for me, Earthrise Prime is the GOAT! I was 10 when Transformers arrived so the G1 figures flood me with good memories. But what's great about the more recent figures (War for Cybertron and the like) is they look and pose the way I imagined the G1 figures did when I was a kid. They were great but so static and rarely looked the way they did in the cartoon it required a lot of imagination. It was cartoon first, toys second for me, so the more they look like they did in the toon, the happier I am :)
This is the one I actually want. Cartoon accuracy is fine, I love it but if you are trying to emulate the actual toy you gotta go with the actual toy colors.
Personally, as a guy that grew up with G1 toys I can say that diecast and chrome plating aren't all they're cracked up to be. I was always frustrated by chipped paint and rubbed off chrome as a kid. I'll always take color molded plastic and paint any day...that being said, I still have the toy colored figure on order because hell yes I do!
The graphics on the trailer are not tampos. They really seem like they are, but they are in fact stickers. Mine were on slightly off center, and I managed to slightly peel one of the corners. You can feel the screw holes behind the stripes on the outside too. I applied the stickers from the sheet to the trailer, and they too also come off looking like tampos
Speaking of without the trailer one, it would be the most expensive and best desk toy where you literally cannot stop fiddle with it. Personally, the trailer doesn't do anything to me but raised the price and would eat alot of space. Nice review btw!
Very nice review, 100%. I've always enjoyed the positive energy and posing in these reviews. Esp when you are not in the G1 era but still able to appreciate the redesign of the product. Keep them rolling!
Amazing how much knowing about the Diaclone figures answers so many childhood questions 46 years later. Like the flying thing on ultra magnus's chest and iron hide not having a head etc. I didn't learn about any of this until last year !?😂
Die cast isn’t coming back in this economy because it would add to the price that everyone is already complaining about. At $25 a deluxe this line isn’t affordable to a lot of parents right now.
Pretty nice how this version has even more G1 accessories and I love how the OG G1 figure has more articulation with this release at least to my knowledge
Im only 25. I cant even fathom how it was collecting back in the old days. The quality, the durability, the affordability, the availability.... Im star struck. Companies like Hasbro and Jazzwares have decreased in quality control over the last 5 years... I can't imagine toys the 80's and 90's.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I bought this figure and the instruction packet that came with it called this part the “energy supply pipe”. It’s for fuel.
The instruction packet that came with this toy called it an “energy transfer pipe”. It’s not for welding, according to the materials packaged with the toy.
@@myxptlyk I can't say I'm surprised about sci-fi names for accessories. But this makes me wonder what did the instructions for the original Diaclone toy say.
now, the original Convoy model was great for the time, and imagination was still 99% of the whole play time... It absolutely would have blown all our minds if the toy had all that articulation
What would be sick for a shelf is if you make the old and new optimus prime shaking hands and on the half with the missing link all the g1 stuff and the earthrise with the newer transformers.
I'm actually going with C-02. I love the toon colors. I have like 4 OG 1984 Takara "T" Optimus Primes in great shape already. With C-02 I have an original 1984 Takara "T" trailer that I picked up from eBay to pair with it. Old paired with new.
I'm going to get both. The one with the trailer, I will keep in the box for that vintage naustala and cartoon one I will display in robot mode. Great video
Is Shard gonna be the next review? I recently scored Aragon (Siege without the other bots included in the set) Barricade, Punch/Counterpunch, Code red, (Legacy) Clampdown and that’s about it!
Nabbed a pre-order on Entertainment Earth! Hoping they'll come through. I've also got Earthrise Prime coming in through Amazon and SS86 Prime on Hasbro Pulse.
Like 1000, just waiting for my Copy of this one to come! Love the full Deco and accessories he has. Also, do you know where I can get some of those clear Transformer/Action figure stands?
I want Missing Link Shockwave, he already had an above-average degree of articulation for the time so he wouldn't be difficult to re-engineer with greater articulation
The talk about die-cast being integrated because of perceived quality is pretty mistaken. The original toys used die-cast in their production because, at the time, die-cast came out cheaper than plastic! All of this because of the big oil crisis of the 1970's, and not because Takara/Hasbro wanted to produce a higher-quality product. They did what they do today, they went with the cheapest option available, in order to maximize profits. The thing companies almost always do.
I love that this has tampographed areasthat even the new Master piece toy coloured version uses stickers for . Like the forearms and knees and what not i hate using stickers that need millimeter perfection or they look awful specially when they only give you one set

I remember back in those days trying as best as the figure could to recreate the poses. Oh, if this articulation existed back in the day.......
I had this in the 80’s
My absolute favorite toy I cherished when I was little

One shall stand one shall fall
Till all are one
There's a thin line between being a hero, and being a memory.
I am coming
Why throw away your life so recklessly?
@@jimmyrobot3170that’s a question you should ask yourself megatron.
If Tamara Tomy continues to make these I will continue to buy. This is what a premium toy should look like. All other companies should take note

Yeah I can't WAIT to see what they pull off for Studio Series.
And now the younger collectors can begin to understand why we older guys complain about the Earthrise trailer so much.

Diecast is also more expensive than plastic
The optimus looks really sick
"I am Optimus Prime. Leader of the Autobots."
I went with the toy version. I always loved the picture on the back of the box of G1 Optimus Prime.
Wow! Imagine the way we 80's kids would react if this was taken back in time and placed in our hands! We'd have lost our minds. 😂😂
I'm extremely happy with my C-01Missing Link Prime!! It was defiantly worth the wait!

I hope that in the next Retro Reviews, we're gonna see the old Gamer Edition Combaticons!
The design of FOC WFC combacticons is the best but the toy is trash
@@LimeeAnims I know. I hope that Hasbro won't screw up their designs when they make their figures for SS Gamer Edition line.
@@transformandgobricks7820 If Gamer Edition give us a trash bructicus, jazz and shockwave the whole Gamer Edition line will be trash
@@transformandgobricks7820 They not though
The fact tht this toy is been out for years and to this day still have fans from the younger generation buying it it’s just crazy to me
It’s the Lady Bird books come to life!! I looooove the toy color version!
I'd love to see more of the g1 toys get this treatment.
Now I only need a Megatron G1 gun!!👊
Gun megatron will never come back because of toy gun laws
Maybe only in Japan.
Speaking of without the trailer one, it would be the most expensive and best desk toy where you literally cannot stop fiddle with it. Personally, the trailer doesn't do anything to me but raised the price and would eat alot of space. Nice review btw!
Just sad they got rid of all the springs. Kind of a slap in the face providing a "GO!" sticker when Roller no longer launches out of the base. 😞
Immagine what could happen of they made power-master Optimus prime with more articulation.
Very nice review, 100%. I've always enjoyed the positive energy and posing in these reviews. Esp when you are not in the G1 era but still able to appreciate the redesign of the product. Keep them rolling!
This thing is perfection
This Optimus Prime looks so awesome, I hope more G1 figures get this treatment... As always, great review PvP! 😁😁😁
I hope they make 86 Prime's trailer as big as the vintage one. ER is too small!
Amazing how much knowing about the Diaclone figures answers so many childhood questions 46 years later. Like the flying thing on ultra magnus's chest and iron hide not having a head etc. I didn't learn about any of this until last year !?😂

Yes! This is the toy we've been looking for years, where did you buy this Primevsprime?
Next thing you know we get g1 remakes for every g1 toy and even power master optimus prime
Am so glad you reviewed this on as well 😊. I've ordered them both!
Pretty nice how this version has even more G1 accessories and I love how the OG G1 figure has more articulation with this release at least to my knowledge
Throwback comeback toy season!!!

Everyone always thinks it a fuel/gas rod/pump. It's not. Its a welding gun/torch. Remember the trailer transforms into a repair bay.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I bought this figure and the instruction packet that came with it called this part the “energy supply pipe”.
It’s for fuel.
Hey PVP, have you thought about retro-brighting your yellowed figures? You can restore the plastic to its original color
I love the toy deco more than the cartoon deco, so I’m definitely buying this
“I’m kinda hoping the old material make their way back into the mainline.”
Meanwhile Hasbro just announced they’ll be cutting budgets even more 💀
Transformers Collection #00 Convoy was the first G1 mold with an axe.
😊You could look for a kid to do a commercial just like the 80s but it will look much better today
I actually prefer the micro guys and wish I'd had them and they came with every transformer.
I preordered the C-02, gonna gamble with Optimus Prime SS86 and hope that It comes with a better trailer.
9:11 As The 80's Transformers Fan pointed out in his Diaclone Battle Convoy review, it's a welding gun.
The instruction packet that came with this toy called it an “energy transfer pipe”.
It’s not for welding, according to the materials packaged with the toy.
@@myxptlyk I can't say I'm surprised about sci-fi names for accessories. But this makes me wonder what did the instructions for the original Diaclone toy say.
And light, our darkest hour
It looks good. I had the 80's one and miss it.
I like the idea that this Optimus coming out of the portal comes from an universe where all transformers are there g1 toy counterparts
Love how they're bringing back g1 toys but making them more fun
Mine shipped this morning
I need Sideswipe and Sunstreaker next
Once reviews started coming out, I cancelled the toon accurate version as the toy look looks way better. I then pre-ordered a second toy version.
The missing spring-loaded launching pad gimmick is actually a plus for me. That thing always kept my roller popping out of the trailer.
Seeing the g1 makes me really appreciate ss38, such a massive upgrade in design over the original toys (robot mode)
Prime is prime, Always impressive.
I wish I had the original 80’s version of Optimus Prime. I was 11 when Transformers were released.
You mad lad, of course you got both of them!
I bought the buzzworthy Optimus prime that has the jetpack and trailer from bog bad toy store. I'm excited for it to come bc it reminds me of this
now, the original Convoy model was great for the time, and imagination was still 99% of the whole play time...
It absolutely would have blown all our minds if the toy had all that articulation
Old is like gold giggles!!
I had the Original as a kid but only have Prime left. I just bought this one.
Mine is coming Monday!!!! I can't wait to have the touch!!!!
2:11 Ha I got that Megatron
good job about MISSING LINK C-01 Toy Accurate G1 OPTIMUS PRIME & TRAILER Takara Tomy CONVOY Review Action Figure from Transformers
When it comes to transformers im not that picky but i want somthing that can transform and still be fun and this is perfect
What would be sick for a shelf is if you make the old and new optimus prime shaking hands and on the half with the missing link all the g1 stuff and the earthrise with the newer transformers.
I'm actually going with C-02. I love the toon colors. I have like 4 OG 1984 Takara "T" Optimus Primes in great shape already. With C-02 I have an original 1984 Takara "T" trailer that I picked up from eBay to pair with it. Old paired with new.
I'd love to see more transart reviews
I still own the original Gen 1 '84 Optimus Prime. Granted, he's in pieces, but I still have him.
I would love to them do this G1 sixshot, G1 Omega supreme.
I'm going to get both. The one with the trailer, I will keep in the box for that vintage naustala and cartoon one I will display in robot mode. Great video
I laughed harder than I should have at the Exorcist bit
Not feeling the yellow windows, I'll go with the cartoon accurate version. Kinda want to pick this guy up but damn it's expensive! lol
Another great release!
That’s actually wild, I wasn’t expecting them to keep the spring-loaded missiles.
i prefer the blue eyed optimus but it cant be truly an animated accurate toy without having the trailer
Nice! I'd love to see this treatment to G1 Soundwave. Wouldn't take much, as his G1 design is already near perfect.
Can't wait for your next video also which is your favorite out of the new legacy united two pack?
The trailer looks awesome with his truck mode 🤩🔥
Gorgeous!
Is Shard gonna be the next review? I recently scored Aragon (Siege without the other bots included in the set) Barricade, Punch/Counterpunch, Code red, (Legacy) Clampdown and that’s about it!
I already have mine pre-ordered!!!!
I think this is one of the coolest ideas for a toy.
I'd absolutely love a Megatron.
The ultimate transformer
I like the toy version but only want the cab, so I pre-ordered the toon version.
my childhood toy!!!!
thank you for this video.
how/where can I get my hands on this wonderful piece of nostalgia?
Nabbed a pre-order on Entertainment Earth! Hoping they'll come through. I've also got Earthrise Prime coming in through Amazon and SS86 Prime on Hasbro Pulse.
Like 1000, just waiting for my Copy of this one to come! Love the full Deco and accessories he has.
Also, do you know where I can get some of those clear Transformer/Action figure stands?
Honestly an Optimus Fig I dig
I want Missing Link Shockwave, he already had an above-average degree of articulation for the time so he wouldn't be difficult to re-engineer with greater articulation
Can't wait till I get it on Amazon 😁
That's one big Matrix of Leadership
My thrilling 30 springer is arriving soon😊

Vintage Optimus Prime
My pants just exploded.
this is the ultimate optimus
I prefer the C-01 because it is more complete, with the trailer and Roller but I still pre-ordered both
I love that this has tampographed areasthat even the new Master piece toy coloured version uses stickers for . Like the forearms and knees and what not i hate using stickers that need millimeter perfection or they look awful specially when they only give you one set
I like the head better on that one. I don’t know something about the yellow eyes
I'm definitely getting this ❤one
Man I honestly hope they don’t make many more. Just Megs and that’s it. There is something special about this.
I'd love to see Takara give G1 Megs the same treatment, if it's even possible.
