I’m surprised DNA didn’t do their own take on a Sparkplug Minicon for this kit, like what they did with Wheelie for their Grimlock upgrade kit
based on fan's reaction glad they didn't do it to pump up the price
It was my expectation as well.
@@huyluong6881but they added a bunch of useless upgrades. Adding minicom and removing those parts to keep price similar would have been much better, as many I know are not getting this kit.
This looks fun! Articulated fingers aren't necessary for all bots but I appreciate it for really big ones.
These are starting to have the same problem a lot of Toyhax sticker sets have: taking things too far for the sake of justifying them jacking up the price. This set could have easily been just the new crotch plate and gap fillers on the sides of the truck and it would’ve been great.
But then it bulked up what was already a questionably bulky back end of the truck cab, added junk to the top, and then needlessly introduced partsforming and the single worst peg hole I’ve ever seen to the trailer, along with the laughably trivial foot lifts.
This should have been a simple $15 set.
My favorites were the mostly gap filler kits with maybe 1 of those bigger things n a weapon or 2
Like 25 cad
if they wanted to jack up the price they could have included his minicons like everyone actually wanted...
@@kyu4903 That would have taken some actual effort.
Yeah this kit is just mostly a huge waste of materials and money
@@Nikonokz not enough of of a difference to be worth it
I'm with most everyone else- the kit has a few nice parts but a lot of junk, not really worth the cost. Sparkplug would have been preferable to the useless kibble.
BTW the old butt plate folds up cleanly along the backpack, but the instructions fail to show it. It only shows up in a few random stock photos that only some online stores posted, but a lot did not.
17:14 my favorite line 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Only pieces of this kit that I'd really use If I had to would be the truck door fillers and the front flap, so this is just not for me.
To me the go better studio is better
I'm glad to see a review for this! Pictures only do so much and I love how in depth your reviews are! Have been waffling on if I wanted this or not.
I got this kit and installed some of it, I did put the hands in but then swapped them back to the original because he just cannot hold his guns in robot mode, those tube things are nothing but a hinderance, I also not put the new butt plate on as I don't want the hastle of trying to knock the pin out, last time I did that with a OP, it took me ages to get the pin out and even when the upgrade was installed, I couldn't get the pin all of the way back in, so I recomend the kit only for the other parts
I've had this kit on my watch list for quite awhile since I've been waiting to find a reasonably priced Prime first. And now that I have the reissue of this prime coming in a few months. I'm glad to hear you finally do the review of this upgrade. I like it. It's just to bad those gun holstering connecters for the new hands don't stay well without gluing them in place. It sadly defeats their posability esthetics . They were better off making those hand weapon pegs able to fold down flush into the palm to use the openning finger gimmic. Oh well. Maybe next time.
New larger chest plate and shoulder pads? All he needs is a football helmet, and he'll be ready for the Transformer Intergalactic Football League. LOL
Here's to hoping we get kits for the other Armada figures.
Looks good man.
Will you be doing a review for the DNA DK-49 set? I just want to be sure I’m not crazy scourge doesn’t want to transform smoothly with the new shoulder adds on. They’ve proven to be a pain thus far. Can’t wait to hear/see your take on the kit.
The gun needs a replacement for the standard prime gun which has a built in slot grip handle then the hand will hold the big combined gun better
I like some parts of the upgrade kit, but overall I think I don’t like it. I think is the added bulk to the shoulders and chest
What? You mean you don't like all your Primes to look like linebackers for the Autobot football league? LOL
Yeah, is kinda overpriced for some weir and not necessary stuff.
The articulated hands and extensions are neat, but nothing more.
The combine mode hands look like he is holding a water bottle.
I saw a post on TFW2005 saying that the new butt flap was too long to plug into trailer mode properly. Also, they also said his foot extenders weren’t flush with his old feet. Are you having these problems?
I could see the feet extenders aren't flush in the vid lol, not sure about the first problem though
I don't know if you know of this or wish to get one. DNA Design has an interesting upgrade kit for Legacy Animated Optimus that makes his alt mode looks like Cybertron Universe Prime. Just putting it out there in case you didn't know.
My only issue is that they don't give you a new supermode head with the right color eyes.
This one is THE REAL UPGRADE
excelent your news accesories para el Legacy Evolution commander class optimus prime super mode dk-45 upgraded, friend emgo
I think it'd be cool if Mascot did entire review video...one can dream, right?
Hello emgo man I been watching your videos since I was 14 and now I'm 22 love watching your videos let's goo 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
That's awesome!
I think I have this preordered but after seeing the review I'm not so sure...
I notice the box of upgrade kit for Legacy Optimus Prime is missing a mini-con partner Sparkplug.
The only thing the original figure lacked was Sparkplug and they didn’t even include that
Can you not fluff the guns attached to the adapter on the back up instead of down
Is it me or the chest looks worse than the original ?
It would have been nice if we got a mini on too
I might get armada Optimus prime for my birthday maybe with the upgrade kits
A new parts is finally got a new adjustable legs and arms.
While it's fair to say this set does make improvements, they're in no way essential. It would've been nice if the kit did more for the base mode and added some Mini-Con positions. The red chest plate not only looks stupidly thick in truck mode, it's not even screen-accurate in super-robot mode.
Could you also put the "rocket pod" in the red port higher on his back or is that a smaller port?
Doesn’t fit there.
BUT WAIT
Is the new blaster...
Is it bloosh compatible?
Is the blaster extension BLOOOOOOOOSH compatible?
I just got this today and sadly one of the screws I need to remove was stripped. And me without a screw extractor.
UPDATE: Fix'd it. Got everything working now.
Is there a new letter or something for upgrade kits? How do you know what figures have kits and what don't?
Great question I'd love to know that too
Would like to see a before and after of the modifications.
You see the before and after here
He said it was an upgrade for an upgrade; is he just talking about the toy, or is thia an additional upgrade kit?
I had flashbacks to when I designed and printed new hands for my combiner wars silverbolt because I broke one (I posted them on thingiverse if anyone else needs them)
When the aliens probe you....they really make it count. Not everyone wants to have their butt to open wider ha ha. Complaints about a larger chest? LOL
It’s stuff like this from DNA that makes me happy that their stuff is getting knocked off and having the 4th party treatment. The only really nice parts are the gap fillers, the skirts, and MAYBE the hands but even then you can find all of that done much better and cheaper elsewhere. It’s even more of a slap in the face when DNA does something like release an upgrade for Legacy Animated Prime at TWICE the cost of the original figure. It was ridiculous when the “upgrades” from DNA for SS ROTB Prime were as much as the figure itself but they’re really taking the piss with a $60 kit for a ~$35 figure.
To be fair, as it provides a trailer that combines with the base figure to create a super mode, similar say to City Commander from all the way back in the day with Classics Voyager Magnus the animated kit is functionally turning a voyager figure into a commander figure, the combined price of the figure and the kit are a little over the current price of a commander class figure, looking at it in that way, the price is somewhat reasonable.
I was hoping there will be a upgrade kit that would also comes with his Mini-Con partner, just like the original Armada Optimus Prime.
I have awaited for a quite some time go watch the DK45 i must said its quite interesting!!!
Hey emgo, I got a question. Where do you get you blast effects from
They came with a bunch of other transformers
This looks like it's more trouble than its worth.
Mine was supposed to arrive today along with DK-49 but coming tomorrow instead. But can't wait for it! Will make him look way better.
What no minicon?
I would love a kit to improve the base mode. At least get it closer to the original Armada design (not automated obviously).
They made an upgrade kit for Legacy Armada Optimus Prime and it doesn't include Sparkplug?!
If there was a smaller one with just the hands and the leg extensions I’d go for it but nah not a fan
The colour matching on the gold looked really bad in the promo images, it doesn't look too bad in this video, how is it in person?
Looks good
Review alien attack king of kavaliers optimus . The best mold
are you going to be getting the upgrade kit of the legend dinobot combiner
Wait a tick! You mean DNA Design made a upgrade for the core class Volcanicus?!?! I've been waiting for a good upgrade kit for that thing since we got all 6 figures.That poor thing has needed weapons, better hands (for his non swoop hand at least), and possibly combiner feet.
Im still waiting for the one for transmetal megatron
He is cool
the butt flap makes the silhouette cleaner but it makes it less accurate to the show too, cus in Armada Prime had that much of a coattail as the original toy has so from the accuracy standpoint this is a straight downgrade lol
I feel like you got more of the same figures and you had one to use for the upgrades
Nope
Damn I just finished installing mine. Not favorite DNA upgrade but does what I wanted and that's what matters
That's ALL that matters is that If you're happy with it bud shouldn't matter what others think.
They need release armada jetfire for armada prime
Oooo
It’s more for display than play fans
I think I'll pass. the only thing I can see being useful are the truck panels and the hands. I like the butt flap. I actually fold the missile launcher section down so it fills out the back skirt piece from the anime.
Hey man look. I don't want disrespect you but there's one little tiny problem about kit upgrade, the minicon.
That has nothing to do with me so no offense taken :)
But I wasn’t taking about you.
Ok 🤷🏻♂️
I wish i never got into reprolables. Unless they make a set for this it wont match. Also after seeing this i probably wouldnt have bought it if the preorder didnt already go through
STILL no Sparkplug minicon? SHAME!
I wish you could buy just parts of these kits, literally all I want is the new crotchplate. Please DNA, sell me Prime's crotch by itself!
So annoyed that there is no Sparkplug Minicon like bro Metroplex got his
Even after all of this, I just want the new crotch panel
19:22, Megatron is a "lucky" feeling PUNK
Upgrade time
If that posable hand can't even handle its weapon, then its not worth it
It holds the regular weapons just fine. Just that big combined cannon is a bit too much for them.
What is everyone's favorite generation of the transformers, mine is Cybertron
Armada is the greatest. And then it’s G1 for me.
Such a strange kit tbh. The front skirt and hands of the super mode are great but the rest seems like DNA just trying to justify the price by adding more plastic. The bits to cover the hands in truck mode and extended side skirts in the base robot mode seem like a "solution" to a problem DNA created by extending the base thighs/super arms. Honestly might skip this altogether and get the Go Better Studio set for half the price =/
They Just Released The DNA DESIGN DK-49 For Scourge Battletrap And Nightbird
I really don't like it, money that could be spent on a new bottle for me. Glad there's people who enjoy them tho
That fits yo the original 2003 armada prime??
Considering I'm waiting for Jetfire and Overload, except for the hip skirt, this set is utterly useless for me.
I'll stick to the Go Better Studios kit. It does what I wanted it to, and unlike the DNA Design kit, it doesn't sacrifice some of the accuracy in favour of unnecessary add-ons to jack up the price.
A minicon in either kit would've been nice though.
Sorry for a late of the Upgrade kit of Legacy Armada Optimus Prime.
That ####### pin. That stupid pin. I literally ended up breaking the figure because of it. I am literally never getting another kit that involves removing a pin ever again. I hate this kit with every fiber of my being.
The hand upgrade is rubbish .... Can't hold weapons . The back connection is loose , so you will have to use superglue trick to fix that. Emgo is right you don't have to waste money on this up grade. speaking from experience . DNA dropped the ball on this one .
It can hold the individual weapons, but the combined cannon is a bit too much weight for it.
The newest Upgrade kit for Legacy Armada Optimus Prime is perfect to make more accurate.
The long bar in the back skirt literal pain in the asf to remove.. don't buy it
Really don't see the point of this kit. They are normally amazing though.
Yeah most of this kit is pointless, I hope someone will make just hands, crotch and door fillers
Waste of money. :(
Spelling
@@cyriljackal sorry my lord.
What a terrible and pointless upgrade kit , I’m sorry not sorry
don't hold back. say how you really feel LOL!
Well Emgo you see...
LOL
@@emgo316 it’s just how I feel about it 😂💯
This kit is the reason i bought it and getting it for $40 🤣🤣
@@whiffyauto2108 money wasted, I’m sorry
Like usual, DNA Designs makes an overpriced "upgrade" kit that adds very little to the figure. This kit is 45 dollars. That Is WAY too much. I'm beginning to think they don't even actually look at what they can improve, and instead try to figure out whatever random unnecessary bullshit they can throw in to justify the kit existing in the firstplace.
Looks bad
Completely unnecessary upgrade.
These kits seem to usually have a couple of really good bits and a bunch of, well filler to bullk it out.
Should have just given a minicon and fewer parts for 40$, this is unnecessary partsforming.
The only parts I'll be using are the poseable hands, new crotch piece, and the new thigh/super mode arm extensions
