So it's just the movie look of it and in g1 optimus Prime was a 1982 freightliner fl86 cab over and transformers 4 evasion mode optimus Prime was a 1992 marmon hdt-ac 86
Honestly, many of Weijiang's KOs were so heavily modified that they probably could pass off as completely different figures. Too bad modding and oversizing didn't save them from Copyright Laws, for they were technically unlicensed.
It isn't really so hard to improve from an existing mold. Hasbro has to deal with how their going to implement the designs without compromising so much so it can be as accurate as possible.
Jarmo Verriet well, so making toys based on movie is not their priority then. besides, knock off does cheating by making more-acurate optimus prime robot but from not-so-acurate truck. i just see that making very close to realistic robot is very hard. they need to crack their mind so hard
Great review! I've been messing with this guy for a few days and I'm still in awe of just how much better he is than the original. It seriously makes the voyager look like a happy meal toy by comparison.
Aaron Parker Sorry! I guess I wasn't clear enough in my comment when I was saying that "I'm the proud owner of one!" By that, I mean I've actually got a Wei Jiang Commander KO Oversized Evasion Mode Optimus Prime! I bought one as a result of watching this review! Side by side with ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime, it's only a liiittle bit taller, and scales nicely with it in vehicle form as well!
Cool, thanks allot! Maybe I was confused, I thought you were saying ROTF and DOTM were the same height. I try to get the most info before making a purchase. I do not have nearly enough income for buyers remorse!
G1 Optimus talking to future optimus is hilarious as hell. What g1 optimus would give to actually defeat his enemy. 😂here he finds out in the future he finally does so and gruesomely. 😂
TheDark Doctor14 Some knock offs suck ass, some make hasbro's products look like barbie dolls (ain't that weird that a knock off figure is better than a proper toy product?) this looks like a figure that a transformers fan would die to get (me) cause of it's glorious details and paint scheme but there's three problems.... where the hell can you get one, how will you know it won't fall apart when unpackaged and it's not made by hasbro meaning you can't find it at the entertainer toy store or toy's r us so good luck trying to get this beauty god of all knock off figures.
If this was available in the old rusted colors I'd buy it without hesitation. While I love both bodes, I personally dislike the complete change in color change.
+Scrapper Funny, seeing as this figure is half the size of the Revenge of The Fallen Leader Class Optimus in vehicle mode, yet slightly taller in robot mode......
One of the best Transformers toys ever made, and it's a knockoff. Crazy times, thanks WJ! I love this figure, everything about it screams quality. The arms on my figure were tight as well, so added a drop of baby oil and now they work perfectly. If you look around, you can get the MPP10 and Trailer for $150 shipped. You can tell WJ really loves these figures.
All kidding aside this is actually a really well-done toy even though it's largely just an upscale They add in so many little touches to make it look better yet at the same time allow it to keep its posability
You gotta had it to hasbro for beeing able to make this incredible figure but I dont like the ones they made for age of extinction they are to simple like the first days of G1
A Masterpiece-quality KO. I am quite blown away by this, and this is easily my favorite movie Optimus ever made. The only 2 qualms I have with it (just a minor nitpick), is that 1). he has kibble/paint deco on/in his robot mode from a truck he does not become, and 2). he doesn't include DOTM Megatron's shotgun (which he does actually have in the beginning of AOE). Beyond that, absolutely flawless and amazing figure. This is one I actually want to try and pick up for myself - a first where movie Optimus figures are concerned. There's also a part of me that would LOVE to see this figure given the "rusty" paint job.
This looks like the answer to a question nobody asked the result is insane and somehow well done. This is something I will never try to own but I think it's cool enough just to know that this is an actual thing because of the explanation it requires.
Future Prime - "Time travel. You know...accidents happen." Present Prime - "Oh. Yeah-yah-yah-yah-yah." I like how Prime is more impressed by improved pizza bagels than actual Time Travel. XD
nice review!! for me it is not ko.. it just another 3rd party company that make cool transformers. just like tfc fanproject or maketoys that make better figure compare to takara/hasbro
Oh my god! That ending skit. I practically died. The review was great and the figure is amazing but that skit took the cake, or rather the pizza bagels.
If you transform the upper body but leave the lower body in truck mode and turn the waist 180 degrees it looks like a cybertronian centaur but instead of horse legs he has truck tires
I usually am against knock offs. But when it comes to toys especially transformers, they make one of the best knockoffs to the point that they'll nearly identical or in some cases better.
I remember when knock-off meant cheaper lower quality version of a toy.
Yeah I remember that now it's the complete opposite
+Huy Bii
same
Lord Giratina lol so true
Huy Bii I remember a knock off being a certain character with a name change and using a crappy mold that broke within seconds and parts falling off
HA
I like how this figure is kind of like a mix between movie and g1 optimus. It has the movie optimus robot mode and the g1 optimus vehicle mode.
@THE DRAGON KNIGHT SLAYER64 The perfect combination!
But this mode was in transformers 4?
So it's just the movie look of it and in g1 optimus Prime was a 1982 freightliner fl86 cab over and transformers 4 evasion mode optimus Prime was a 1992 marmon hdt-ac 86
@@baked1604 oh u like trucks name every truck
It was in tf4 but rusty and weathered not clean
When a Knock Off is better than the actual product, you know Hasbro done goofed.
i like you
LOL
lol hasbro you gone goofed
Hasbro....
you done goofed.
How is this bootleg better than our product?!
F*ck you, that's how.
Yup
I don't consider this as a KO it's more like a master piece version of envation mode prime
I only consider it a KO if the quailty is of subpar in numerous spots. El cid I consider a ko for oviously reasones.
Frank Pete it’s evasion not envation when I am typing this it is underlined in red so it is not a word.
Evasion
If the truck mode was a little bit better then i'll consider it as a the Masterpiece
Honestly, many of Weijiang's KOs were so heavily modified that they probably could pass off as completely different figures. Too bad modding and oversizing didn't save them from Copyright Laws, for they were technically unlicensed.
Can someone get in touch with Hasbro and tell them they are being put to shame by Knock Offs lol
Lol
It isn't really so hard to improve from an existing mold. Hasbro has to deal with how their going to implement the designs without compromising so much so it can be as accurate as possible.
@@ascasdasx yet. Here's this thing
I think we officially reached the time where knock off's are better than Hasbro's offerings. The original just looks sad by comparison.
It's a shame how kind of poor Hasbro's Transformers are now. Takara is still ok though.
yet all they did was make a hasbro figure bigger
yet all they did was make a hasbro figure bigger
theBLARGSTORM False, they retooled the figure big time
Why are 3rd party Transformers SO MUCH BETTER then the real Hasbro toys? I would have thought that the real toy was the KO.
Jarmo Verriet i believe that depends on creative team. hasbro is rich, but making toys isn't their priority i suppose
Jarmo Verriet well, so making toys based on movie is not their priority then. besides, knock off does cheating by making more-acurate optimus prime robot but from not-so-acurate truck. i just see that making very close to realistic robot is very hard. they need to crack their mind so hard
I Can tell you why, Quantity over Quality, This is Hasbro's Model
John Sheffar I dont see the quality in the hasbro figure though but i do see the quality in this so called KO.
***** This is cheaper than the original.
Holy shit...that figure is simply BEAUTIFUL!!! The engineering, paint job and screen accuracy are bananas!!! WOW!!!!
*Now this figure is worthy of being a Masterpiece Movie Prime.*
Agreed.
Brick Kid
He's even bigger than Revenge of the Fallen Leader Prime, yes?
Agreed
THE IRONHIDE REVIEWS - BLACK BOLT
The more, the merrier. If you can find him, he's yours.
Definitely
Are there pizza bagels in the future?
Yes and their even better.
Take me with you...
The Eternal Chronicler That skit had me dying.
Hello from the future yes we do and they are even better!
"Maybe I should tell Megatron what happens in the future"
"No no no, let it be a surprise"
*pause*
"Good idea"
I like how the color scheme changes from truck to robot mode 🤣
Great review!
I've been messing with this guy for a few days and I'm still in awe of just how much better he is than the original. It seriously makes the voyager look like a happy meal toy by comparison.
RobsteinOne agreed
Best knock off toy ever
Blastertronus the m01b looks better.... in my opinion :)
Alain Philippe Zurita hmmm both figure are good
Mp 10v is pretty good though
I don't really consider these toys knockoffs I think of them more as 3rd party transformers
Movie robot mode and G1 alt mode.
When I saw the G1 truck mode I squealed.
DaneWolf Ryan I thought the same but at the beginning of AoE, he was a flat nose, but the robot mode was like the long nose....
Woah
@@v1nc3mc its called "lazy character design"
officially the best movie verse optimus prime figure ever made!
agreed
Yep
I think rotf leader prime is " officially" the best
+Mustafa Khan your wrong the dmk model kit optimus prime is the most screen accurate
Legendkiller64 4 fine
The sketch at the end is hilarious!!!!!!!! Awesome emgo!!!! Great job!!! .... "take me with you"... You sir, just made my whole week!!! Cheers!
A size comparison with the ROTF/DOTM leader class would have been cool but great figure, love your reviews
They're pretty much the same height! The figure shown here is just a little bit taller! I should know! I'm the proud owner of one!
I meant a comparison between THIS and ROTF optimus
Aaron Parker Sorry! I guess I wasn't clear enough in my comment when I was saying that "I'm the proud owner of one!" By that, I mean I've actually got a Wei Jiang Commander KO Oversized Evasion Mode Optimus Prime! I bought one as a result of watching this review!

Aaron Parker I understand perfectly well what you mean! I have to say....I felt this one was worth it!
When the Original toy looks like a cheap knockoff in comparison to the actual knockoff...
It really says a few things about Hasbro doesn't it?
Says more about Wei Jiang than Hasbro
Yeah, hes a red truck with a white stripe, and in robot mode he has a lot of flame detailing...Great job. .
Knock off? More like better than Hasbro
are you kidding me? This KO is better than the original man.
Well come jesus
Emgo: here's him with Voyager prime
Me: awe son and dad
lol
Funny how the original toy become the KO! hehehehe
LMAO
This is essentially a masterpiece evasion optimas prime
I know im a bit late on this. But is this and the nemesis prime version in masterpiece scale? I'm tempted to buy them but unsure
"Hey hey hey, ya getting drunk on me Prime?"
I choked on my water. XD
This is BY FAR the BEST optimus prime figure out there
It's the best "bayformers" figure.. but the G1 stuff is better to me. I'd rather have an MPP-10 :)
brando92711 I think the G1s Look like they are made out of Big lunchboxes.
brando92711 Isn't the Vehicle mode of this figure based off of the G1 vehicle mode?
That has got to be the best skit you've done hands down! Great review as always EmGo!
G1 Optimus talking to future optimus is hilarious as hell. What g1 optimus would give to actually defeat his enemy. 😂here he finds out in the future he finally does so and gruesomely. 😂
its sad that the knock off transformers and masterpiece transformers and takara look better than the transformers Hasbro makes
Masterpiece is takara and hasbro

Asia.
Oh probably eBay too.
LeamTRAP the humantronic It's on ebay for like 40 bucks
That ending was just too good!
If this was available in the old rusted colors I'd buy it without hesitation. While I love both bodes, I personally dislike the complete change in color change.
Prepare to crack the safe then, because there was INDEED a Rusted ver.
They only make the battle damaged version. Still red and blue
then the butterfly effect kicks in and g1 prime becomes a murder bot because his future self told him about it XD
Best post review cinematic ever!!!! I can't believe I missed this last year, I'm literally puckering from the laughter 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can just imagine this painted in a rusty, screen-accurate manner,with the same love.
This is the best Optimus prime K O I've ever Seen because of the detail and the quality is AMZING its like a master piece envation mode Optimus prime
I kinda wish this was design for the 1st three movies...
KnucklesChuckles: The Trumpeteer ya actually
Well then Prime would be way shorter then Megatron, where he is already shorter then him
OMG yes
+Scrapper Funny, seeing as this figure is half the size of the Revenge of The Fallen Leader Class Optimus in vehicle mode, yet slightly taller in robot mode......
That is so cool that they added that G-1 version of The Matrix of Leadership! Just another nice touch on an already awesome transformer!
Or his Spark... I'm not really sure! It looks like it could be either!
i love emgo316 he is the best toy reviewer ever i Loved the video it was my first video
omg that sketch at the end, hilarious! Good job !
Definitely going to try and get this, a exquisite figure; much better then the voyager detail-wise. Great review as always Emgo!
Best post credits scene I've seen you do.
It's G1 Prime in Vehicle mode and then DOTM Prime in robot mode
One of the best Transformers toys ever made, and it's a knockoff. Crazy times, thanks WJ! I love this figure, everything about it screams quality. The arms on my figure were tight as well, so added a drop of baby oil and now they work perfectly. If you look around, you can get the MPP10 and Trailer for $150 shipped. You can tell WJ really loves these figures.
is this a knockoff or an enhancement? i mean really how can a knockoff be this good?
+Cadetdude it's both
I'm new to transformers toys and I just ordered this big guy and I'm excited about it! Great review!
It's so crazy to see bayformer prime robot mode turn into g1 prime vehicle mode
FINALLY!! I have been looking for this Optimus because it was in Transformers Interstellar, so glad it was EMGO that I found the review of
Nemesis prime version of it right?
that thing should be a masterpiece figure
just got my M01B..... best color of this mold.
all i can say is that this is the best toy i laid my hands on. the quality and coolness is so awesome
3:28
Transclearant...
That's it. I'm posting to Urban Dictionary!
nice figure. that conversation at the end was hilarious.
nice
Bayformers Robot Mode + G1 Truck alt Mode = EPIC
how would this work with Leader class bumblebee? i NEED a prime that scales with him, do you recommend any?
I'm just collecting Star Wars and Marvel figures, but I think I NEED this guy!
Why does it have flames in the robot mode if there are no flames in the truck mode? 👀
All kidding aside this is actually a really well-done toy even though it's largely just an upscale
They add in so many little touches to make it look better yet at the same time allow it to keep its posability
not gonna lie, I actually like it when two tires stay on his lower leg, reminds me of G1, Armada, and Prime series.
You can just leave it down there... they only moved it up for movie accuracy.
just noticed that many of emgo's video that are only months old are getting million views congrats man
emgo could you imagine if they made a rusty Ko version of this guy? it would look freakin epic
Yes they did have a battle damaged version which is cooler
Okay that ending clip was so damn funny! I rewatched that clip several times and laughed each time.
22:40 the axe looks like bat symbol
wasted eternity lead guitarist yeah
32:00
best TF content I've seen through out my short life XD
You gotta had it to hasbro for beeing able to make this incredible figure but I dont like the ones they made for age of extinction they are to simple like the first days of G1
While no one was looking, a knock off became legit!
Seriously, Wei Jiang, you are a god. You totally should replace Hasbro
Lmfao, the ending emgo this is why I love you lol
It make's the original look like the knokoff
emgo you did a great choice. this may be the greatest figure you reviewed.
you should compare him to buster prime!
A Masterpiece-quality KO. I am quite blown away by this, and this is easily my favorite movie Optimus ever made. The only 2 qualms I have with it (just a minor nitpick), is that 1). he has kibble/paint deco on/in his robot mode from a truck he does not become, and 2). he doesn't include DOTM Megatron's shotgun (which he does actually have in the beginning of AOE).

eBay is also selling this toy
Oh and can you do a review of KO Wei jiang Hound?
Far out that is the best outro skit i have seen from you
O and is it able to be played and use to make stop motion videos.
2D2 DOMINATOR sure... it can even do that patented superhero landing pose :)
Alain Philippe Zuri
This looks like the answer to a question nobody asked the result is insane and somehow well done.
This is something I will never try to own but I think it's cool enough just to know that this is an actual thing because of the explanation it requires.
honestly Optimus looks better without his mouth gard
Knock off? More like spot on. The knock off completely blows Hasbro out of the water.
More like knock ON
Too true!
Future Prime - "Time travel. You know...accidents happen."
Present Prime - "Oh. Yeah-yah-yah-yah-yah."
I like how Prime is more impressed by improved pizza bagels than actual Time Travel. XD
its wei jiang (way heng)
haha nice ending, kinda wish that both of them ate pizzabegal on screen
Do any of you want this toy like me
optimus prime and optimus prime having a talk at the end there was pretty neat.
Sad that KOs are better than retail....
A Very Wise Wolfy yeah
Thanks to your review I found this while traveling and got it at a great price and I absolutely love it! Thanks emgo for your amazing review!
nice review!! for me it is not ko.. it just another 3rd party company that make cool transformers. just like tfc fanproject or maketoys that make better figure compare to takara/hasbro
Oh my god! That ending skit. I practically died. The review was great and the figure is amazing but that skit took the cake, or rather the pizza bagels.
he is as big as ultimate optimus
Amazing weijiang oversized commander optimus. Even this brand is third party it seems look like an original. The quality is good. Bravo
If you transform the upper body but leave the lower body in truck mode and turn the waist 180 degrees it looks like a cybertronian centaur but instead of horse legs he has truck tires
Or some bizarre take on the Stealth Force mode from Dark of the Moon!
I think the "sloppy" paint is supposed to show the temperature difference of the heated metal
where did you buy it at
I mention it in the video and it's linked in the description
ebay
+emgo316 sir toys.
+emgo316 has optimus say EBAY
+emgo316 eBay has it a lot cheaper 49-135 dollars

there's a nemesis prime (aka black version) model
BenjyVlogsHD bought one
BenjyVlogsHD that is what i have. .. the M01B Nemesis Prime
Alain Philippe Zurita how is it?
yey! emgo finally reviewed this figure! the final crowbar to my wallet. but seriously thanks for another awesome review. I love the skit at the end.
I want this where can i get it
eBay
This is my favorite of your videos yet, nice!
fuck, I need this, this chinese people are great, hasbro take note
I usually am against knock offs. But when it comes to toys especially transformers, they make one of the best knockoffs to the point that they'll nearly identical or in some cases better.
Hot Wheels MX There is also a black version (Nemesis Prime)
Yes i agree Hasbro are getting worse
yt b well studio series is good and tlk vastly improved over the aoe line and power of the primes oh yeah and generations
Yeah i use to like hasbro but not anymore but my favorites are generations and POTP, combiner wars and titans return
When he first said knockoff I thought it would be a craps big version of the original, but I am much happier with this toy.
