23:05 oh my this POSE🔥🔥🔥 I’m posing it like this in my display. Thank you! For such a great video PrimeVsPrime! It was everything I hoped it would be and MORE. Salute to you brother 🫡
This is pure perfection, I even love how his thighs are painted white instead of gray or silver. But one of the best things for me are the clear plastic inserts over the painted windows, they look SO nice, I hope to see this moving forward instead of clear plastic being used!
Man, I'm always like, "I should save up for a combiner, or some more niche guy, or start buying the dinobots, or maybe expand my g1 toy collection," and then they release a new Optimus, and it's like... sigh, just take my damn money... He's literally my dad, what am I gonna do, *skip* him? Come on.
"PrimeVsPrime: "I would have waited an eternity to place another optimus on the position of earthrise prime" I guess that we can remove the backpack, isn't it? I'm now waiting for this prime to come dead on a future version
This is definitely the definitive G1 Prime, amazing! The Optimus commander classes have been solid, definitely have this on my hit list. From the leaks I am excited for the G1 Megatron!
Gamestop has this guy right now for below retail , even after shipping costs, if you’re a pro member, and it’s projected to release october (a month earlier than hasbro’s site).
Would highly recommend 35th anniversary siege Optimus prime. The paint deco is nearly identical to this minus the comic deco it has and I managed to find one recently on eBay for £40
11:25 I don’t think we will ever reach that point besides the hole thing of how Hasbro & takara Tommy can top this figure of the year is a massive understatement that has been repeated over the past decades. But still an awesome figure Can’t wait to add him to my collection.
That is the new standard for our classic leader. Thanks for the vid, ya made me feel like I did opening up the original prime back in 84. And as I type this I just hooked to a trailer in my rig. Keep up the great work brother. I gotta rollout
I have to say this is the Prime figure I always wanted since I saw him back in the 80s toon and movie. I LOVE how they emulated a bit of the MP44 in how this guy transforms specifically how the legs become part of the cab etc.
When I heard you say MP-44 inspired my soul left my body, as I remembered all the reviews of the horrifying transformation, only for it to not be thay bad on the SS Prime
@@PrimeVsPrime yeah, from the reviews I was not impressed with MP-44. Too fiddly, too much reliance on faux-parts, and looking _too much_ like a cheap weekly animation model. Somehow, this new toy manages to avoid all that while scratching essentially the same itch. Also, it's good to see the trailer has returned to its proper, longer proportions.
This review really helped me with transforming my Optimus, my only complaints on Optimus are his paint chips a lot during the transformation and the fact that for a G1 Optimus this is a very complex transformation process. Other than that this Optimus is by far the best Optimus Prime made and this review is very good! Now all we need is a G1 Megatron, Soundwave and Shockwave 86 Studio Series.
Great video, thanks! As soon as I get the chance (as it sold out everywhere on pre order before I could get to it) - this will be mine! I do think it's a little over engineered but at least it works and achieves what it sets out to do. I just need them to hurry up and give us an SS86 Megatron without making us wait a year or longer! Gimme gimme gimme!!!
I wish Hasbro would put blast effects out in $3-$6 blind bags. They are one of those thing that I never gave 2 effs about until I got some and then it all clicked. NEED MORE BLAST EFFECTS!!!!!
This is probably a dumb question but does Hasbro plan to make all the characters from G1 in Studio Series 86 or are they only gonna make the characters that appeared in the 1986 movie?
They have said they plan to make a studio series figure for every Transformer in every movie, and they are just working through the list. So if they have even a few frames of screentime in 86 then yes. For G1 characters that don’t appear in the 86 movie I am sure they will get legacy releases. Like Gears or Beachcomber.
Oh I just can’t wait for my copy to arrive! I do agree that this new OP scale class causes chaos. He scales well with Autobots, but not well with the Decepticons. Hasbro playing the longetivity and profit cards. Great review.
Thanks mate! Yeah it makes me think that eventually they’ll redo the whole core Decepticon cast. I guess that makes the upcoming Legacy Soundwave a little pointless
@@Jazmission I picked my copy of him up for about half the original price just missing his blast effects so while I agree that the price was high I still think the figure is worthy of the great title

Now that I've finally gotten this figure, it's great to be able to go back and rewatch this video because the instructions are absolutely not very helpful when it comes to figuring out how to actually transform Optimus into vehicle mode.
This guy and HotRod are fxcking phenomenal. Studio Series really making smaller and arguably better versions of Masterpiece figures and they specialize in live action thats embarrassing😭🙏
I definitely think we will be getting a studio series Rodimus Prime in the next few years. We also really need an updated Seeker mold. They just don’t hold up

Fantastic review, and extensive battery of comparisons. For being engineered taller than most Prime figures before it, he scales nicely with most mainline/86 contemporary figures. While mostly everything is absolutely on point, the matrix chamber is the one underwhelming aspect as even Earthrise at a Leader price point had molded detail and nice paint on both the chamber, and inner doors. Speaking of which just got the ER Prime today, and can easily see why this is a running favorite amongst collector for the past 4 ongoing years. Never thought I'd say this but the trailer not only looks worse, but feels significantly cheaper than the Legacy Laser Prime trailer at the same price point. While a great argument can be made for why this would make an amazing standalone release the proportionately accurate trailer only available ay an MP price point is something a lot of collectors/fans have literally waited a good while for. I the past 40 years G1 mainline inspired Prime's have been mostly standalone voyager releases with the exception of POTP transforming trailer gimmick or have had the trailer cheapened and downsized like the earthrise which would have been just as good as a Voyager release. Given the trailer is most of his G1 identity it's awesome seeing it done justice at the Commander price point. Now to see if Hasbro can do 86 Megatron justice in 2025.
Glad you got him as well. He cane last week from Hong Kong.what a Optimus it is. Earthrise as magnificent as he was this is the definitive G1 modern Optimus Prime.

Given the trailer is most of his G1 identity it's awesome seeing it done justice at the Commander price point. Now to see if Hasbro can do 86 Megatron justice in 2025.
Thank you for your kind words! I too am really hoping for an 86 Megatron next year! Will be interesting to see how they approach his altmode
Glad you got him as well. He cane last week from Hong Kong.what a Optimus it is. Earthrise as magnificent as he was this is the definitive G1 modern Optimus Prime.
Great Video!
Funny thing is that the Earthrise Prime's aftermarket price is about the same as the commander Prime by now! 🤣
Thanks mate! Oh damn I didn’t realise! Earthrise Prime just got a reissue in the UK, I think I saw it retailing for around £30
