1:10:34 the backwards heels are quite possibly the least consequential misassembly of all time. It doesn’t effect stability, it doesnt effect posing, it doesnt effect transformation and it effects the look so little you have to be actively looking for it to even notice
To be fair, if we talk about mainline alone, it might actually be the best yet.The only possible official figure in the near future that could top it is a de-shittified affordable MP-44. But until then, Magic Squares Light Of Peace stays on top as the best looking, affordable, fun and enjoyable Prime of the last few years. But that's just my opinion.
@@thetempleton6622 personally I don’t transform it anyways, if I buy one I’d just transform it and leave it like that, I’m not gonna waste 10 mins transforming it for a little bit then detransforming it
It’s satisfactory for its size (I quit Masterpiece collecting earlier this year). Tiny nitpicks here and there that I fixed with stickers. Also, to everyone saying that the transformation is too difficult, it’s actually pretty easy.
@gavo9711 You'd be surprised how many TF fans on UA-cam and in social media groups I've seen moaning about the transformation being too difficult. Frankly, they're wrong.
This is undisputably the best HASBRO Optimus Prime. There are definitely ones made by other companies, be they third parties or groups that have the transformers license that are undeniably better, but in terms of Hasbro, this is 100% the best.
If you're into mindblowingly clever transformations, the Hasbro/Takara engineers for the chug scale are literally the best in the business SS86 Hot Rod is the best designed Hot Rod out of any company or scale by a long shot SS86 Ultra Magnus is the best designed Ultra Magnus out of any company or scale, by less of a long shot than Hot Rod, but still incredible how intuitive and smooth the transformation is for such a clean finished product in both modes. Both of those figures are perfectly in your alley if you like the complexity of this guy And then theres Kingdom Cyclonus. A few bits of maybe the cleverest engineering in modern official Transformers I recommend just those three. They deserve to be experienced, even if you don't collect the scale
@@_V.Va_ 86 magnus makes siege and earthrise magnus look like literal piece of shit jokes. Can't believe i have that trash maybe i can sell them to someone who actually likes them. Otherwise, i have XTB commander stack and he's great
@@ghostdestron Only thing 86 objectively does better is the alt mode. Otherwise his bot mode is way too wide. Magnus is a big guy but he's not Longhaul proportioned.
I hope Jobby can read this, but I've found a way to straighten out the legs in truck mode so the cab isn't leaning forward. Before tabbing in the truck bed to the back of the cab, make sure his knees are not fully bent forward, make sure that his hips are perfectly flat with his lower legs, then you can proceed to tabbing them to the cab. Also to make the Transformation smoother in general, when going from robot to truck mode, I always do the limbs first, then torso (but not the backpack), arms, backpack. I do this because the front wheels get in the way of the sides of the truck.
Backpacks don’t bother me in the slightest, as long as it’s clean and holds together well they’re fine in my book, especially when they can add bulk and look cool. And when there’s no feasible way this could ever work without the backpack, I can be quite a bit more lenient.
While it’s definitely not perfect (as users in tfw2005 raging about its flaws), it’s a huge step up from other Optimus toys for mainline. It says a lot that people saying it’s overrated still thinks it’s a good toy.
Yeah, but it isn't THAT much better than Earthrise for double the price. If you don't give a shit about perfect G1 accuracy (which this doesn't have either lol) Earthrise will work just fine lol
The only thing 86 Prime has that ER Prime doesn't is proper articulated hands and butterfly joints. Otherwise it has the same knee bend and same disappointing 90 degrees at the elbow.
@_V.Va_ Earthrise also has four ugly holes on the arms, bad proportions, proportions that block some articulation, and stealing some parts from the siege and making them worse.
Its the best "mainline" G1 Optimus Prime ever in this scale. That's pretty much without a doubt. But yeah he's supremely outclassed by a lot of the 3p options
And to @jobby2, Roller has slots in the front underside. Those slots plug onto two tabs on the front of the anti-air drone. It’s backwards and stupid, but that’s how Roller is secured in the trailer.
And to everyone having trouble with the cab section tilting forward, you’re doing it wrong. When you bring the legs up flat, they shift back a tiny little bit, allowing the back leg panels to sit flush against the cab. If you’ve modded those back leg panels, well done, you’ve damaged your $90 figure for no reason at all.
If you mean the tabs on the calves that tab into the back of the elbows, no, they're just molded too large and force themselves out of the slot. It's a minor issue but it does require shaving the top of them to fix.
@@hyperdimensionblissWell mine fit in just fine without shaving them down. And that’s because of what I mentioned in my opening comment. So yeah, you’ve done it wrong.
@@hyperdimensionblissJust trying to save people from pointlessly damaging their $90 figures when they didn’t need to and telling them how to do something correctly. But hey, you do you pal. 👍
I am 3rd and 4th party pilled. If you hate the backpack on MP-44, maybe you should think about getting the 4thP with the slimmer backpack and no electronics. There's also a silver leg version of it. Personally, I like Magic Square's MP scale v1.0 Optimus Prime with silver legs, mainly for the silver stripe in truck mode. Not animation accurate, just real world more accurate, but I know I have a minority preference. The KOs of MP Tracks, Sideswipe, Tigatron, Cheetor, Blackarachnia, Soundwave, MP-52 seekers, Black Apple upgrade mold of MPM-4 Prime, Ultra Magnus, Dinobot . . . I could keep going on, but the vast majority are great, with a few that are just pretty okay, but the price more than makes up for those.
Hey jobby it's now the anniversary of your channel today is december 1st for me which means other people it's november 30 which means it's now your channels anniversary
what really stopped me from getting this and honestly made me reconsider collectin mainline was that it was almost as much as te op leader. with is a way better optimus prime figure
It’s not a flaw, the problem is that the knees need to be oriented at a very specific angle for the thigh-to-calf-panel tabs to sit properly BEFORE the panels tab into the back of the forearms, which is a super tight fit but ends up with a much nicer cab where the panels at the bottom of the cab can sit properly under the legs
thattoyguy had the exact same problem I do. And believe me I have tried numerous things to get it to sit straight. I have only been able to get it somewhat ok by the very way you suggested. In my experience. So ok sure, most likely a " its just my copy" thing. Maybe my ports are not deep enough, maybe the tabs are a touch longer than needed. But nonetheless it's quite the pain to deal with. Having to get very specific with it doesn't make it fun. And yes of course this is far from the worse problems I have dealt with other transformer figures
Jobby's (initial at least) feelings towards this figure are the same as mine with regards to Earthrise Prime. That thing is WAY too thin and lanky for my tastes, not very befitting of the wise and powerful leader of the Autobots imo. Siege Prime is better.
$100 is fucking ridiculous and seeing everyone defend this price, while also trashing Earthrise Prime just because he has a bigger trailer aka a BOX, is genuinely insane. That being said, I have two of him - he's amazing. Bless Target for providing the opportunity to buy him at $55! Also, SS86 Bumblebee is just as good bye!
I'm honestly hoping they release SS86 without the trailer, Prime himself is great but I genuinely cannot justify spending so much money on a box that really does no thing 90% of the time
@@rxwave7666Honestly, it's alright. The 3-pack with Earthrise Prime (WITH G1 colors), Jazz and Teletran-1 is a better bargain IMO - same price and you get three figures.
Missed out on the stream but Ima just say, I've seen reviews, and his elbows don't even bend past 90. That with the backpack makes this thing not so great imo
I gotta say I don't like him. That backpack is atrocious in my opinion, and I don't know how people spend almost 100 pounds on this and just brush over it. Especially when legends scale transformers like Magic Square do it so much better, I simply cannot get over it. It might just be me but he looks too chunky or beefy for G1 Prime aswell. I'll wait for maybe Newage to make a CHUG scale Prime like they did with Megatron.
I’ll give my prospective. I don’t collect 3p when I have an official option. So this is my first Optimus since MP-10. MP-44 is out of budget and Siege and ER I missed while taking a break. This one actually got me back into collecting with SS86 taking over for my old MPs which I’m now selling off. I gotta say I prefer this size over the MP scale since I can actually pick them up and pose them easier. The backpack doesn’t bother me as much as the weird proportions on past Primes

As a puzzle collector, I don't mind ultra complicated transformations as long as both modes are accurate and have as much functionality as possible.
