I am ABSOLUTELY HONORED to see you in my comments section!! We met briefly at Powercon 2022 and discussed Energon Snowcat a bit! Seriously thank you, you've done so much for this franchise. I didn't even know you designed this one, no wonder why it's so good!

for a figure that has a design that's almost 20 years old, it's super well articulates, it's got: wrist swivels, balljointed ankles, pretty good knees and elbows, a wait swivel with an ab crunch.
Optimus use his real form in cybertron His real form showed in transformer 4 and transformer 5 Optimus just use protoform for going to earth bc if he using real form its will use really alot energies or i can say Protoform is hibernation form
The fact that Optimus Prime has wheels even in his meteorite form, is a confirmation that transformers could transform into vehicles even before they reach the earth.
@@Deependra_netamwouldn’t Megatron also be naked to sense in the first movie he never scanned a earth vehicle so basically both of them on cybertron would be fighting naked💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀.
There was also a protoform optimus prime toy called transscanning optimus prime where he comes with truck armor parts that the protoform figure uses and then it can transform without taking the armor apart. It also has another armor to make it transform into a meteorite.
They made a bumblebee one too, may have even been a two pack for em, they were a cool concept but do look really janky due to the limitations of 2007 transformers, would love to see a redo of them nowadays
Those things are hateful. They don't look very good, they're fiddly to play with, they tend to have weak joints which makes them not hold poses well, and they don't really transform, just swap armor parts around.
I remember back in the day when Walmart used to sell sophisticated transformers toys. Like legit transforming characters from the first '07 transformers trilogy. When I first got my bumblebee, it took me a week to figure out the steps and like, two days to put it back without having pieces pop off. I remember the wheels and even the windows would transform! Loved the attention to all the micro-details. Like feeling the transformation from the movies take place irl. So coool! ❤

Honestly really love the idea of all the Cybertronians having proto-forms before showing up on earth. I always wanted to believe what they would do is engineer their own vehicles to scan and turn into that looked completely alien to our machinery and vehicles.
ther would be no need for them to make thier own vehicles if they ARE the vehicle. theyre proto form is essentially theyr base form. dosnt make them any weaker cuz when they copy and earth vehicle, its basically just them putting on a costume
@@renatogonzalez3910 Wrong. This toy cocnept is wrong, its cybertronian mode. This mode was used stelarcyxles after scanning protoform to safely crash land on earth. protoforms dont have vehicle modes, they are jsut naked the earth mode and cybertonian mode are armour for them
Man, I never got the origonal 2007 optimus, RotF was my introduction to they toys. But when the last knight repaint came out, I begged and borrowed money from my grandparents to get this guy, and I love him! It's definitely a top 10 favorite of mine. The partner figure of DotM deluxe optimus, not so much (cab nose specifically), but other than that, I adore this set.
For the DS games These sort of designs were used for new characters and even your main character as a base form But once you scanned a vehicle you could switch to that
I could be making a LEGO transformer. I could be thinking of stop motion ideas. I could be studying for that Social Studies assignment I have almost no chance of passing. I could even just be asleep, like I'm supposed to be. but nope. Here I am, going to ask my parents for a naked Optimus Prime.
Tbh I always thought it was cool how transformers weren’t the cars, they were robot aliens wearing parts of their environments to better adapt to their surroundings
Love how the movies never touch on these forms again though 😂 even before they came to earth in the newer movies they had their vehicle transformations lol
I had Starscreams protoform. Honestly pretty dope, wish we got more because the Cybertronian style was like a mix of bayverse and war for cybertron designs and that is straight up baller.
Actually, that's an interesting concept for cybertronian colonization. Essentially, they launch their spawn into space who, courtesy of Vector Sigma, rise as all knowing. Some could be preprogrammed for conquest whilst others would be more noble. There's a looooot of ways to play with this.
Honestly, that'd be scarier than how he normally looks. I know they aren't goin for that, and they do it to disguise themselves, but that's cool and creepy
I'm just now realising the reason the Autobots didn't have alt forms when arriving on Earth in the Bayverse might be that the meteors WERE their alt forms... It always bothered me how it seemed to be implied that they didn't already have an alt form on Cybertron. But I guess they did and just switched to the meteor thing to travel to Earth.
I used to have this bumblebee transformer toy that obviously transforms, but I had a problem.. I didn’t keep any instructions nor did I have access to the internet so I couldn’t put it back into car form. Now this wasn’t a simple “twist here, push this here, boom! Done” no! It had so many small moving parts, so I sat there for hours moving parts around in this toy till I finally made it a car again and did it over and over again till I memorized it. I miss that toy..
Damn I’ve had this toy since I was younger, but my younger self destroyed most of it, i never really remembered what it looked like whole, thank you for this!! 😂
This figure looks really cool and it would be awesome if we could get a new version of this toy with modern articulations and more details, and it could also be retooled into the other autobots from the first film or even into the decepticon protoforms from the second and third film.
I still have my original light blue proto prime from the original transformers movie release. My grandma was shopping for food at the commissary and we picked it up as a souvenir. I was like 12 and its still a fond memory

Technically... Cybertronians don't wear clothes, so he's always naked. Lol
optimus prime translates to “first best” and he was the one who shot the all spark away from cybertron

I completely forgot this toy existed. It was my favorite toy as a kid
That just makes me think of what the autobots and decepticons look like on their home planet without human vehicles for inspiration
Still looks kickass tho, he looks like Optimus even without his typical theming. As Iron man said, "if you're nothing without the suit" or whatever.
I heard that the fact that they wanted to sell toys was why there was a new autobot every movie.
context: a protoform is a form a transformer takes when it dosent have a alt mode,it will take this form until it scans a alt mode.hope this helps!

I think Hasbro should've made Protoforms of all the Autobots that crash landed on Earth. Which would include Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet.

Everytime i think protoform i think "thats a baby" 😂
The way naked Prime looks like most Decepticons thus forwards a new headcanon that the Decepticons are proud Nudists

ngl optimum pride's protoform looks like his g1 truck mode but round and looks like an egg made of metal
You know you’re a real transformers fan when you can hear the transformation sounds in your head when he’s changing the figure 😂
WHAT????!!!! There can’t possibly be a naked version of a transformer.
this is honestly a pretty sick concept and something that doesnt get thought about much in the world of transformers
