It's actually based on the development sketches of a new Optimus toy for a potential Season 4 of Animated, and much like how the Wingblade from Endgame was based on a simplified God Ginrai, this design completes it
I wish they'd used the back half of his firetruck 🚒 alt mode more in Animated. Without it, Optimus looked like a semi with a light bar on top of the cab.
You know, whenever I think of Transformers Animated, always remember this one Animatic. It was basically Optimus going back in time and meeting Megatron before he became Megatron and introducing himself as Orion Pax. I dunno why, but it is.
That’s not just any hammer, that’s the Magnus Hammer, wielded by those who bear the title of Magnus, which in the Animated Universe is the highest rank of Autobot.
Back when Prime is just a high ranking officer title of Cybertron rather than a god-like title. [Wowsers! I sound like I'm whining. Probably because I am because of Transformers Prime shorts kids.]
I'm not going to hide the fact that I don't like TFA Prime, however this upgrade kit provides a massive improvement to his look. The upgraded alt mode looks like it was loosely inspired by Cybertron Optimus Prime, which is badass.
I honestly want this, simply for the fire truck. I've not always been the biggest fan of the winged optimus so i might grab this kit (and it be my first upgrade kit)
Some others have mentioned it elsewhere on the internet, but the extra ports on Prime's back just make it feel like Hasbro is going to re-realease legacy tfa prime as a leader class with effectively this exact upgrade kit
Ordered this immediately on Oct 17th, arrived yesterday. Cost me more than HP Straxus (and that one was most expensive leader I bought so far), but I have no regrets. Pure bad@$$, at least in robot mode (didn't try vehicle mode yet). Only thing this kit is missing (tho I have no idea how it could be pulled off) is some sort of torso expansion. Shame fists don't stick out over forearm "panels", it makes holding hammer in both hands pretty much impossible. Don't like the way feet connect for trailer mode, these spots are doomed to break at some point. The same with faceplate, the way it attaches... As usual, DNA had to goof somewhere, I guess that's their trademark :D. I got extra visor part, cast in yellow plastic and painted white.
With everything on, in hand does he feel ok? Like not too heavy/joints can take the extra? Arms look ok but hard to get an idea from the legs, kinda looks unstable at times but hard to tell
Hey Larkin! It's been a while since we've chatted! I saw this on another review last week and I gotta say, it's such a great look. I passed on this prime so i can pass on the kit but part of me wishes I didn't! Hope you're doing well! Chat again soon!
If you could, could you make YT short of it without the legs, white water gun and visor. Since I'm curious on what it looks without it, since I'd wanna see it show accurate now
Robot mode looks very stable. Reminds me of the 'Fans Project' APEX armor for the Classics Ultram Magnus. Do you plan to 3D print yourself any 'waffle fillers'?
Not my OCD making me scream at the screen when he forgot to flip down the blue panels after accidentally opening then closing them multiple times 😭😭😭 0/10 unwatchable video I am reporting you for terrorism 😭😭😭 ALSO PLEASE DNA MOTORMASTER VERSION PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
That was quite a pitiful review of the armored mode. You didn't have anything to say about it other than "It looks great." Couldn't you go into more detail like "The expanded legs improve his heroic proportions" or "The extra weapons give him more firepower in a face-off against Megatron"? If all you have to offer is "It looks great", this is a sorry review indeed. ¬_¬
@@LarkinsLair I'd scarcely believe it to be one from your commentary. But if the video is just "Imma showin off ma new upgrade", then it doesn't really help anyone either. What is the point of this?

Dude this is the one upgrade kit I CANNOT skip
Derrick Wyatt would be proud!
I wish we couldve gotten more Animated, It was just getting good when it ended
Jet-powered GodBomber Animated Optimus Prime! Makes me want to pick up the figure. Great review. Cheers!

@@AfterthymeGaming The original 13 Primes are demigods, but Nova Prime, Nominous Prime, Sentinel Prime, and most versions of Zeta Prime aren’t.

Reminds me of the old Fansproject Parallax commander upgrade kit.
That's a great kit. It's really well done. Great review!
Looking good. Waiting for my kit to come. Really completes the figure and reason why I got the figure. Hoping it arrives tomorrow
I honestly want this, simply for the fire truck. I've not always been the biggest fan of the winged optimus so i might grab this kit (and it be my first upgrade kit)
Well, I guess a lot of people really wanted this upgrade kit, because it’s sold out. But, BBTS still has it.
This to me is the best upgrade set since the Fans Project City Commander set. It improves and adds to the original figure. Can't wait to get mine.
I think you forgot to bring down the panels on the wings that show off various tools in the vehicle mode amigo, otherwise nice review.
He did forget to do that
I Gotta Say That DNA Design Dk-54 Upgrade Kit Will Look Great For Transformers Legacy Animated Universe Optimus Prime!
I wasn't super interested in this Animated Prime figure, but I have to say this looks REALLY good to me. . .
I hope that we can get this super mode of Optimus from Hasbro. Cause, I want to see them top this!!😊

I did not know this was out already
Get it! :P
I’m definitely gonna try to get my claws on this.
I got the kit recently and it is awesome It makes me wonder what they will do with Motormaster
This kit is LITTERALLY 2x the cost of the figure

Thanks for chiming in. Hope you are doing well to. The kit does really make the figure stand out.

Thanks for the review! Do you know if the new mask parts would fit on the head in truck mode without removing them?
It will not fit in truck mode unfortunately
Age of the primes
Robot mode looks very stable. Reminds me of the 'Fans Project' APEX armor for the Classics Ultram Magnus.
Do you plan to 3D print yourself any 'waffle fillers'?
Yep, it's pretty stable. Gotta be honest might be while before I will be printing fillers and stuff. Just not enough time at the moment.
