Thanks for help with how to transform him--but there's a minor discrepancy with his vehicle mode--you didn't tuck his windshield/chest under the hood--it fits smoothly and creates even better, more distinctive aerodynamic lines on his truck design.
For me, it's not that it's important, it's that it's a good feeling. When you post the first comment, you get the feeling that you were the first person to give your feedback for a video. And everyone wants to try to be first at something. Sure some people waste it by only typing first, but people like me post first, then give feedback in the same comment. For others, it's probably because some youtubers actually congratulate the person that gets the first comment , and if you can get a famous
This is the guy I've been looking forward most to having. I'm a huge Mark for the big OP and I've always wanted an iteration of his pre-prime self. It will be nice to finally have one (even if it is technically post Prime retirement)
Brother got this for Christmas, and finally able to transform this thing thanks to this video. The instructions didn't make clear how to get his chest to point down and I thought I was gonna break it trying to do it. But yay, thanks to Baltmatrix I finally got it in vehicle mode.
Great vid. I wasn't figuring out the part where you lift up then push down the torso. The directions just showed "push down" and I was, "I'll break it if I do that..."
They also showed it in G1, when the arielbots went back in the past and saw him and one of the motorcycle triplets (I forget which one) and it was his GF.
Matching paint to dyed plastic is difficult. Paint apps easily take on different shades when applied to different surfaces and even when properly matched at one stage of development can easily become mismatched at another when a material change is made or any of a variety of other things that can happen during the development if a figure. Clear plastics are particularly hard to match paint jobs on because so many paints are not opaque enough to work on the clear surface.
If I were to custom this I think I would try and find a way to remove the engine from inside his chest and see if I can attach is elsewhere such that it is hidden completely in truck mode but the chest drops on top of it so it shows up in robot mode i his chest. Wonder if that is possible.
I customized mine with a little paint and gave the head of FOC OptimusnPrime to him to make him an Optimus Prime cause I wasn't a big fan of Orion Pax and he only appeared in one episode as orion pax in the original cartoon
No. I say first because it's satisfying to know that I was the first person to give my feedback. And again I say we could have avoided wasting roughly thirty comment spots if you had just ignored my comment and minded your own business.
Exactly--some of these instructions over the past few years have become increasingly vague. I too looked at the instructions and went "there's no space to do that! I'll strain the plastic and likely break something!" The headpiece also worried me--it's reallly snapped in tight and requires more pressure than I'd like to exert on it.
I'm sure a bunch of people have already told you this, but the reason (I'm pretty sure) that the plastic is different colors is because sturdier plastic needs to be used on the joints. I'm assuming that's more expensive, and that's why they could only use it on parts of the figures that made up the joints.
prime has an axe in all the shots I've seen I suppose it was only in certain bits but I've seen the axe, I dunno why it wouldn't and its the same axe as fall of cybertron takes place only months after the first one and he doesn't lose it in the first one
the thrusters were on prime in fall of cybertron but i dont think he used them but megatron had them as well and he used them to sorta hover in robot mode
You (like most people) have Orion Pax slightly mistransformed in alt mode.The slope of his "windshield" should be flush with the hood, and not be angled back at the bottom. It's kind of tricky to figure out at first, but once you know how it's supposed to be, it'll look obviously wrong the other way. It also makes the front wheels move a lot better, when I had mine the way you show, at least one of the wheels would always scrape against the other plastic. Correctly transformed that no longer happens.
baltmatrix. This wave of figures is from the IDW G1 universe. War For Cybertron is set in the Transformers Prime universe. I know WFC looks like G1, but thats where the similarities end. War for Cybertron and IDW G1 have nothing to do with each other, so this Orion Pax can not become WFC Optimus Prime. Check out the Aligned continuity article on TFwiki.
The transformation step that involves the torso hinge is so annoyingly difficult. I friggin broke the clip that snaps the torso together due to exerting myself to much.
Orion Pax figure does have a young looking Optimus Prime head sculpt, but it looks too much like Optimus Prime. Would a G1 Orion Pax head be a better choice?🤔
I can see a 3rd party turning this into nova prime. Mind you maketoys is making one with laser prime but I would believe someone, somewhere is thinking of bulking up this figure.
Definitely a nice figure,but would probably wait for it to go on eBay first. Since toys in my country are ridiculously overpriced. I mean,a Deluxe costs 23.60 USD in my place. :l And the fact that I'm waiting for a potential Masterpiece Star Saber release since he is currently #1 for the next Autobot Leader to be in the Masterpiece line. Even though it'll take like 1-2 years.

I love this. We have never had an official original mold for Orion Pax.

instead of a bumblebee film, we need an orion pax film.
Andrew Monck like yeah, what was his backstory?
Just an random douche sexy boi named Orion ass... I mean Pax gets blown up. Then old man fix this boi up and he becomes Sexymus Prime
Just a goddamn weeb or fan boy.
Orion Pax: A Prime's Origin.
Bee's my fave but I believe we need that film too! "Transformers: Origin of the Reigning Prime"
it brings a look to transformers prime orion pax in season 2
Brother got this for Christmas, and finally able to transform this thing thanks to this video. The instructions didn't make clear how to get his chest to point down and I thought I was gonna break it trying to do it. But yay, thanks to Baltmatrix I finally got it in vehicle mode.
Wasn't Orion Pax supposed to be less badass and more dorky?
IDW Orion is as badass as they come my dude
Interesting
@@chataclysm2112 yeah!!
Well he is alrighty badass
Great vid. I wasn't figuring out the part where you lift up then push down the torso. The directions just showed "push down" and I was, "I'll break it if I do that..."
youtuber to talk to you, you know that you’ve accomplished something.
They also showed it in G1, when the arielbots went back in the past and saw him and one of the motorcycle triplets (I forget which one) and it was his GF.
I got to say ive seen alot of reviews and you always give one hell of a review great job man!
Maybe the thrusters could mean as double jump or dash as war for Cybertron because the figure does look like the war for Cybertron optimus
Fantastic review, Balt! You've sold me on this figure pretty handily.
Pax was only in one G1 episode, it was so easy to miss even I didn't know until a bit more recently. XD
Orion Pax, A.K.A. Optimus Prime.
Yes
I always get two of every bot: one to keep mint and one to transform to other mode

Ah I see now that you zoomed in. It isn't even paint it is just a different kind of plastic they seem to have used for the shoulder. Weird.

Awesome. Perfect figure. Orion pax, megatron(ius), and trail utter are perfect. Bee on the other hand...
I customized mine with a little paint and gave the head of FOC OptimusnPrime to him to make him an Optimus Prime cause I wasn't a big fan of Orion Pax and he only appeared in one episode as orion pax in the original cartoon

yeah where was he 3oyrs ago??

How do you get all the originals i am a bumble bee and prime and jazz just cant find jazz
I picked up three of the deluxes and am tempted to go back to get Bumblebee based on how nice they have turned out.
Because Orion Pax is before Autobots and Decepticons, during the start of the war.
I have this figure but I sadly can't find him though I re found his axe and ion cannon
I have the 2014 30 variant that comes with his IDW comic book
Never unpacked him since I haven't found any more
Baltmatrix, can the weapons of Orion Pax be used with Classics Optimus Prime?
orion pax is optimus primes name before he became a prime
I'm sure a bunch of people have already told you this, but the reason (I'm pretty sure) that the plastic is different colors is because sturdier plastic needs to be used on the joints. I'm assuming that's more expensive, and that's why they could only use it on parts of the figures that made up the joints.
I want because he looks like he could go straight to Classics Prime with the Matrix
The plate on the back of his head obscuring the lightpiping is called 'kibble'.
is he out in stores already?
prime has an axe in all the shots I've seen I suppose it was only in certain bits but I've seen the axe, I dunno why it wouldn't and its the same axe as fall of cybertron takes place only months after the first one and he doesn't lose it in the first one
the thrusters were on prime in fall of cybertron but i dont think he used them but megatron had them as well and he used them to sorta hover in robot mode
the over tight ball joint may just be an issue with your particular copy of the figure i have not heard complaints about it before
First time watching an Orion Pax review and it took me five times to properly transform him
Question: Optibotimus has stress marks on on of its legs due to a tab for transformation. I was curious if yours displays the same markings?
You (like most people) have Orion Pax slightly mistransformed in alt mode.The slope of his "windshield" should be flush with the hood, and not be angled back at the bottom. It's kind of tricky to figure out at first, but once you know how it's supposed to be, it'll look obviously wrong the other way.

Correctly transformed that no longer happens.
+tbb033 I noticed it on the figure he pulled with the instructions (underneath the robot mode image, it shows from 3/4 RF how the hood looks.
I'd say the legs borrow a bit of engineering or inspiration from the Leader Class Prime from RotF
baltmatrix. This wave of figures is from the IDW G1 universe. War For Cybertron is set in the Transformers Prime universe. I know WFC looks like G1, but thats where the similarities end.

man octimus looks so different to his old self orion
just like rodimus was hot rod and became a prime
That cool the history first orion then optumes
WOW. This figure looks AMAZING!
this figure looks fantastic. I have to get one now -_-
maybe but i use oftennly the melee attack in escelation and in the multiplayer and maybe in the campaign they had different weapons
Can't wait 2 get this
The transformation step that involves the torso hinge is so annoyingly difficult. I friggin broke the clip that snaps the torso together due to exerting myself to much.
WHEN DO THESE COME OUT IN STORES?
saw a band aid on your thumb. been playing with cyberverse predaking again?
Orion Pax figure does have a young looking Optimus Prime head sculpt, but it looks too much like Optimus Prime. Would a G1 Orion Pax head be a better choice?🤔
thanks for the help
Because he was a neutral.
the differently colored plastics arent because they come from different factories, it's because they're different kinds of plastics.
wheres orions belt
The second option.
will you review megatron trailcutter and bumblebee?
nice orion pax figure.
Love the vehicle mode, don't care for the robot mode...
I never liked the panel behind the head look. I just seems like a cheap cop-out.
But where's the fun in that when it's so much more fun watching you get pissed off over something that isn't a big deal. :D
He has it in fall of cybertron you get the sword late on I think haven't played it
I can see this recolored and retooled as a young Kup
I kinda wonder if theyll make this into a kup
He's not from the aligned continuity(War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron, prime).
I Want one, I Need one of these before I Die, I NEED ONE RIGHT NOW
No size comparison?
A great not-yet Optimus figure, and better than the last few prime figures that came out.
balt, can you make a vid on wonfes? they revealed some transformer stuff
I can see this figure being remolded and repainted for a Has-Con exclusive Energon Tow-Line.
I just noticed the autobot symbol is slightly crooked. 😕
I can see a 3rd party turning this into nova prime. Mind you maketoys is making one with laser prime but I would believe someone, somewhere is thinking of bulking up this figure.
You're welcome.
Hai.
That's gonna be hard considering that you asked me three questions
wow right away i could tell he was g1 and war for cybertron optimus prime put together
sweet orion pax finally
why are you sorry and julywaters is a very unique name is your name july or do u just love july and water:-p
You convince me to buy him on sight!
i dont hate him, i wasnt thinking. i keep trying to change the name but it wont for some reason.
No, the Hai.
orion was a whimp before the upgrade
That's great. But that doesn't detour from the fact that you were making a big deal about something that isn't worth making a big deal about.
Guys this is Optimus before he became a prime, if you read the comics you can see that he is not even a head taller than wheeljack.
Balt, I think you meant "War for Cybertron" in terms of the battle axe; not "Fall of Cybertron."
Now, all we need is a Megatronus figure.
Definitely a nice figure,but would probably wait for it to go on eBay first. Since toys in my country are ridiculously overpriced. I mean,a Deluxe costs 23.60 USD in my place. :l
And the fact that I'm waiting for a potential Masterpiece Star Saber release since he is currently #1 for the next Autobot Leader to be in the Masterpiece line. Even though it'll take like 1-2 years.
The arm and leg position remind me of Energon Prime.
I have the POTP Orion pax
in war for cybertron the leader class had axes the scout had swords the scientists had maces and the soldier had hammers
He is too small. Looks good to put in with your wfc/foc cybertron figures though.
I like this figure. Wait a minute he a worker not a fighter?
it's so tiny in vehicle mode
so first he was orion pax then somehow optimus and then optimus prime :o why the namechange ?
young prime-not so much. more of a star saber head & face. (transformers victory)
What happened to your thumb?
YOUNG PRIME! HO ORION PAX YES YOUNG PRIME Aw some!!
And you still haven't dropped this.
Nice!
You asked me to answer and I did so deal with it.
