i love love love how the rts/generations line incorperates beastwars/rid esq proportions. the round thighs on laser prime and thunderwing make me soooo happy
The original was in G2 and had a light up feature in the hand, and a huge clear plastic sword that lit up when the hand-feature is used. This is like a pale imitation of that figure. The G2 one was huge and amazing.
I still got the original one. I got him to christmas when i was a child. Sometime around 1997 or something. He was one of my favorites and always came in to save the autobots from being beaten by the Power Rangers. xD
G2 paint schemes were all over the place as I remember - neons, blacks, whites and primary colors all on the same figure. I guess this figure carries on that noble(?) tradition.
Sorry, meant to add that that's why they called the G2 one "Laser" Prime. There were 4 cars (Laser-Rods) and 2 bikes (Laser-Cycles) that had the light-up feature too.
This is probably as close to Classics Optimus Prime as I'll ever get...the upgrade kit from MakeToy has me excited for it though, so I guess it's fair :P
hey this optimus prime could be worth money when you get your new one because it could be one of the few missing a flame deco on the one side of the hood
@Peaugh Just got him today, I find it funny that Hasbro has mis-transformed legs in the picture on the card yet you not only figured out how the legs correctly transform but put the parts together yourself.
Back wheels? I'm having trouble with his back wheels in truck mode. Those gray covers are pressing against the 'front'-back wheels. How did you figure it out?
@sunflower2362 im in uk and thay where very new but all most all of the x mas line sold out as well as some newer ones so thay get loads of shipments and argos has loads
nice review! , i really like this figure besides the horrible paint job. Hopefully they can repaint him like his G1 self or something better than this. I am eagerly waiting for Kup to hit the store selfs here in Puerto Rico. Keep up the great work with your reviews!
I hope that Takara either make the paint job a little more coherent in their release, or at least do us the service of repainting it into RiD Scourge. But as it stands right now, I won't be buying the Hasbro version. But great review, thanks for showing this guy off in more detail.
Cool Review but you really should change the title of the video to Reveal the shield, you cant find it without searching for generations optimus prime. Ive watched your review of him multiple times since its original post date, mine should be here friday or saturday.
@thedemonmors This figure would be a nice stand-in if anyone wanted to renact some of the scenes from the series. You get what I mean? To answer you question I have seen the series. I know you are talking to Peaugh, but I thought I would answer anyway.
Great figure. There will be tons of customs on this guy. Great review man!
i love love love how the rts/generations line incorperates beastwars/rid esq proportions. the round thighs on laser prime and thunderwing make me soooo happy
This prime had a fun and well done transformation
FINALLY! An Optimus Prime with thee vehicle mode winshield as his actual chest!! And looking good, aswell!!
Awesome. I have been waiting for this review. Thanks Peaugh!
Finally he's out! About damn time. Can't wait for that upgrade/add on.
The original was in G2 and had a light up feature in the hand, and a huge clear plastic sword that lit up when the hand-feature is used. This is like a pale imitation of that figure. The G2 one was huge and amazing.
I really like the Color scheme I think it works perfectly & a great homage to the Original G2 Prime :3
I still got the original one. I got him to christmas when i was a child. Sometime around 1997 or something. He was one of my favorites and always came in to save the autobots from being beaten by the Power Rangers. xD
i like how they have is so the bar in the middle of the window covers the split in the two panes of the windows to make the matrix
Oh crap, I gotta get him just because of all the cool ideas for transformation going on here!
this figure looks too awesome all hail the G1 world!
hey thanks for making this review, i was very curious about it
whoah! it's a hitch hilt! pretty cool. first time I have seen one of your vids while it's still processing XD
i seen two types at my local target today.. one with the left side is painted and the other one with both sides painted with the flames..
great job man wish this was retail right now
Generations G2 Optimus Prime is pretty wick'd sick dope !!!!
sweet little figure! thanks for reviewing this! ^^
The regular release should have both sides of the engine hood painted with the flame deco, as well as the windows
Nice! I love this mold! To bad I didn´t get Classics G2 Megatron, but I´m keeping my fingers cross for a two pack.
other then patch work on his truck mode this is a decent figure, we can only hope the repaint is good scheme in both modes.
@DBZ12714 well after so many reiterations of prime, it's no surprises that there could be some resemblances to the earlier lines
I'll wait for a Nemesis Prime repaint. The Maketoys armor hasn't convinced me to make an effort to want to own this toy either.
I am so looking forward to this guy. Can't wait for him to hit shelves!
G2 paint schemes were all over the place as I remember - neons, blacks, whites and primary colors all on the same figure. I guess this figure carries on that noble(?) tradition.
great partner with the special edition g2 megatron :)
Think I'll wait for the Scourge repaint but awesome review as always Peaugh =)
Sorry, meant to add that that's why they called the G2 one "Laser" Prime. There were 4 cars (Laser-Rods) and 2 bikes (Laser-Cycles) that had the light-up feature too.
This is probably as close to Classics Optimus Prime as I'll ever get...the upgrade kit from MakeToy has me excited for it though, so I guess it's fair :P
Great review also I was just wondering what are you going to do with the one missing the flame
Do you think any of the 3rd party trailers could go with this guy ? Cuz he would look even more bad ass with a trailer.
Great review as always ,can you store is sword on is back inside the gray pieces ?
@coois881 ok but solar storm grappel and strafe and lugnut are still not in stores
@hellofrednat1 The original version of this toy was repainted into RID Scourge.
Maybe they'll make a Scourge version of it like they did with RiD, that would also fix the paintscheme problem :D
I would G1 repaint him would be pretty cool
Whats with the Q.C. issue?
I like the matrix molding.
Nice review.
hey this optimus prime could be worth money when you get your new one because it could be one of the few missing a flame deco on the one side of the hood
Btw, will you be reviewing the upgrade kit for this toy or not?
If Hasbro do a repaint of him as RID Scourge then I will buy this figure. It's just the colours, everything else on him are is pretty good.
pretty bad ass optimus prime would love to collect these car mode kinda looks wack but robot mode is sick
thats the way a sword should be done for drift. this is going to be a grate nemasis prime repaint
this would be a perfect scourge repaint
This figure needs a RiD Scourge repaint, and a chrome tanker trailer to boot.
@TheHappy4u He's called Scourge in R.I.D., but still I agree
this would look great with the classics deluxe g2 megs aswell with the g2 redux set
i have the takara tomy original g2 figure and ultra magnus version as well. really itching to get them back out.... :D
They used the G2 Laser Optimus mold for RiD Scourge; maybe a Nemesis Prime is in the works?
Everyone keeps saying that they'll wait for the RID Scourge repaint, but what if the repaint was a TakaraTomy exclusive, or worse, a Botcon exclusive?
@TFDude101 However, I'm sure the knees do bend 90 degrees. Most (almost all, actually) TFs his size these days have about that much, if not more.
Hm. Not too bad, I guess. I'd like to get one, and it's inevitable black repaint, too. I bet it'll look better in black.
the reveal the shield toys are still not in stores yet
@peaugh prime can actually hold the matrix that comes with the battle in space 2-pack
so I'm guessing wait for a repaint to pick up this figure?
Nice review. Is there any way to store his sword in robot mode?
Where does the "Laser" in " G2 Laser Optimus" come from? Or is it just talking about the light pipeing?
@DCMarvel2009 i agree its scourge or nemesis prime
that sword is awesome... :O
when I buy this, i'll have some custom painting to do
When is he coming out ? I am planing to get one.
@Peaugh Just got him today, I find it funny that Hasbro has mis-transformed legs in the picture on the card yet you not only figured out how the legs correctly transform but put the parts together yourself.
I wonder if he is in scale with Classics G2 deluxe Megatron.
i herd the intions have a new head mold. i wound what the repaint will be?i hope its thunderclash
I want a recoloured one in ultra magnus colours and with a remolded sword that is an hammer
do you know if the original G2 prime's trailer or R.I.D scourge's trailer can hitch on to this prime figure or not?
This dude's taking forever to get released in the stores! When's his actual release date for North America?
post a pic of him with G2 universe Megs!
When does the upgrade kit come out?? I'd love to get it! Does anyone know??
Back wheels? I'm having trouble with his back wheels in truck mode. Those gray covers are pressing against the 'front'-back wheels. How did you figure it out?
@betacrest10 i was wondering that today! i bet they'll do it, maybe as part of the generations line.
They have GOT to repaint this thing as RID scourge.
@sunflower2362 im in uk and thay where very new but all most all of the x mas line sold out as well as some newer ones so thay get loads of shipments and argos has loads
@jeoboy Supposedly, his backpack is a sheath
When I transform mine into truck mode, the middle wheels get stuck on the fenders. what am I doing wrong?
nice review! , i really like this figure besides the horrible paint job. Hopefully they can repaint him like his G1 self or something better than this. I am eagerly waiting for Kup to hit the store selfs here in Puerto Rico. Keep up the great work with your reviews!
any one know where in nyc area i might find these i have no luck finding anything new btw Mr Peaugh you have my favorite reviews.
Hoping for a RID scourge repaint :/
@Shadowjugement The original had light up weapons.
I'll wait for the Nemesis Prime repaint.
the head the matrix and the sword are like the only thing that looks and is cool on this thing. the robot mode comes in a close second
Im so going to repaint this dude into RID scourge!
@shumworld theres one coming?
i see one thing better bout this to the original- the sword, but my god the original seems so much better
great review as always peaugh
@cazza2855 Defiantly! I'd thumb up the comment, but apparently that feature's apparently removed.
Bring on the black repaint!
i love the matrix in there
does the sword stow on his back in robot mode..?
I hope that Takara either make the paint job a little more coherent in their release, or at least do us the service of repainting it into RiD Scourge. But as it stands right now, I won't be buying the Hasbro version.
But great review, thanks for showing this guy off in more detail.
GOT TO GET HIM!!
Cool Review but you really should change the title of the video to Reveal the shield, you cant find it without searching for generations optimus prime. Ive watched your review of him multiple times since its original post date, mine should be here friday or saturday.
@jlogano20 oh yay thanks I am going to keep my Optic out for them thanks.
HIS SWORD'S NOT FLOPPEH! YAY!

does his sword fit in battle blade primes hand
@chewgd you sould make ur own!!! thats wat ima do!
@nujevad28 i'd pay the extra, i have and love the original G2 laser Prime, the orange windows and blue just don't fit.
@thedemonmors This figure would be a nice stand-in if anyone wanted to renact some of the scenes from the series. You get what I mean? To answer you question I have seen the series. I know you are talking to Peaugh, but I thought I would answer anyway.
Is it out yet?
That's Reveal the shield prime. Just letting you know.
