@@absurdcheddar1608 Yeah, and that figure's transformation is more easier than the one of Alien Attack's El Cid figure which is based on the Transformers Prime First Edition Voyager Optimus Prime, which might have worked, but didn't work out properly.
Holy shit. The whole Truck disappears completely. There is no visible Vehicle part, except the exhaustpipes. First time when I saw Prime, I tought how hasbro will manage to bild a toy that not will be a shellformer. They didnt, but thirdparty did. Shame on you hasbro.
@@jjuan4382 We can never have enough Bumblebee, just the way we can never have enough Optimus Prime. Besides, we hadn't had a backpack less, screen accurate Bumblebee. If Unique Toys can make a backpack less OP, why not the same for BB?
El Cid might have more silver but in the movie prime isn't all bright, he's all beaten up and this toy kinda captures that. Ive had Challenger for a month and I can't believe how much they have captured his movie aesthetic in this toy, I'm very impressed with what unique toys has done
Yet again UT has managed to make magic happen and bring a truly screen accurate AOE/TLK Prime to figure form. He looks so good and I love all the accessories to give him the different looks from the movies.
What I like is how the transformation really isn't all that complex. Rather, it's smart. Every panel and folding part has a purpose. Anything wasted would result in kibble. A true masterpiece in every sense of the word.
The thing that really bothers me about them is that they dont look like their alt modes are a part of them. Something that keeps coming up in Emgo's reviews of Unique Toys movie toys is that the alt mode "disappears" in the robot mode, which to me just goes to show how badly the movie designs miss the point. It *shouldnt be* a feat of engineering to make the designs work.
I've had el cid for a while, and I don't even transform it anymore due to how much of a pain it is. This looks like a pretty good collectors item. No backpack, clean, screen-accurate, just hands down, one of the best Prime figures I've ever seen. Thanks for the review buddy!
Man, I knew making a "good" version of knight Prime would be a journey. But it is good, smartly layered and fairly clear, doesn't forget to be a toy. If my math is right Rendsora is still a couple inches above him but that still feels right.
Yeah in my opinion the Challenger version of Optimus prime is the most movie accurate version I have seen so yeah I'm impressed good figure, good video
I can't believe UT managed to give two drastically different alt mode sizes bot modes not only nearly identical in height but with essentially zero kibble. I kinda want to buy Challenger and Peru just to show my appreciation for the designers and the metric $#!+ load of time and effort they undoubtedly put into making these two figures work as well as they do.
Probably and surely the most movie acurate Optimus Prime figure from the Last Knight. By looking at this it makes me feel like this is how he transforms. Can you imagine someone doing a stop motion of this?
*Michael Bay during TF4:* Lmao, I made the Transformers more human and less Transformery, meaning it'll be physically impossible for the new figures to transform into their robot modes accurately. *Unique Toys:* lol
I've got this figure. I love it to bits, just like Peru Kill. The vehicle just disappears. It's so clever. Emgo, you are the man. Been waiting for you to review this figure. Nice one man.
Remember when we all thought good toys of these designs would be impossible? Unique Toys singlehandedly made these designs better by proving that they're 100% possible.
The engineers are magicians I tell you. This is what I like because it looks like the movie character and how you wouldn’t known there was a truck in that toy . I am not collecting the toys but son and I enjoy your channel immensely. Tell unique toys to do more movie transformers they are amazing.
I never thought I'd see the day when a robot mode of a toy figure actually looks screen accurate. Like you don't really, aside from the smokestacks, see any truck bits at all. Just like the movie.
Seeing Unique Toys Challenger with my own eyes makes me glad that I did not buy Age of Extinction or The Last Knight Optimus Prime from years prior due to their kibble and their small sizes. This toy looks just about right for my collection, but finding one would be hard for me at this time.
@@jasonvoorheesthethird Thanks for the link, but the price is still steep for me. Besides, I just bought Studio Series Grimlock for about ten dollars less at Target earlier this week.
Tony the Chang Thats ok, but you paid quite a lot for your Studios series Grimlock...i paid 60$ Canadian for it at Walmart! Anyway, i just wanted to help you out since you said you had trouble finding him :)
@@jasonvoorheesthethird Thanks again. Right now the only Prime that I'm happy with is my Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus Prime. He's easy to transform and is quite large himself.
For my copy, the windshield section actually plugs in way too tight because of the chrome paints on the peg is too thick. So I sand it down to make the peg smaller. However, this makes the connection way too loose and create the situation you mentioned in the video, so I applied some super glue on the peg and make the peg slightly bigger, and it works. I think you can give it a try by using some super glue.
Definitely getting this figure when I can. El Cid has been in permanent robot mode on my shelf. I refuse to transform him due to how fiddly he is (coupled with the fact that one of the hood pieces snapped off and is currently held in place by friction alone).
This is the perfect toy, the fact that you can transform it and you won’t be able to see vehicle parts is awesome. Also the weapons the face and the Nemesis head it’s really cool. I wish I could buy it
It's definitely the best prime design I've seen one thing I like is that this prime wasn't just hiding in some sort of shell in truck mode which all just sat on his back but one critic I have is that his chest is a bit to wide if it were thinner this toy would be perfect
They made that before. way back in 2007-2008 Hi we could use a remaster of it, also The ultimate... Movie Series Megatron and Jazz are available... Megatron is $159.99 and Jazz is $89.99
Thx emgo for another solid revue. I really enjoy what Unique Toys are doing, though I'm not a big fan of the movie characters. They managed to convince me !
My personal opinion is Challenger is prettier to look at and the foot articulation is the only part that semi hurts my feelings but man, this is the best last knight!
Who else watched his vids when they were younger and now in 2020 during this pandemic remembering emgo and how you loved his vids and is now binge watching his vids and still getting that nice saticfating
Strykor one skit wouldn’t take money or staff (why would you assume this!?) I’ve got a stop motion app myself and used it for a school project once, didn’t take more than a day
It's more production and editing, period, than anything else, since Emgo would more than likely be using his camera to film the skit, and not a smartphone app.
That unique toys company is very impressive, i would like to see their version of the Last Knight Megatron figure, he looked so bad ass in the movie, im curious to see how accurate they would be able to make him
I realize his transformation is basically just turning him inside out, compacting him, then plugging everything into place with extra minor adjustments for detail. Hmm. Smart...

I cant believe they managed to make a backpackless robot out of that truck. The designers are beasts
I love the Lockdown one they made. This one is surprisingly just as good.
I wonder how they'll tackle an Age of Extinction Galvatron...
Yeah.
Unique Toys deserves more support with these wonderful creations. 👍👍👍
Yeah, Much like Peru kill aka lockdown

A Last Knight Optimus Prime figure without a backpack is a good figure indeed.
Not a fan of these designs, but that is a feat of engineering.
I dunno why but for some reason I like tf prime desings
Me too.. I don't particularly like the Bay's movies designs... I prefer the Bumblebee movie designs (G1 designs).. But the engineering is awesome

My god this figure is some top tier transformer perfection. How they managed to make this is magical.
This is the most realistic and accurate action figure ever made.. Job well done designers!
It's more screen acurate and easy transformable than alien attack prime figure.

You must wait unique toys NERO
I think I know why it's called challenger b/c Optimus prime said in The Last Knight, "Who dares to challenge me!?"
Hasbro should hire these guys..
Yeah. These guys makes even better figures than hasbro
That would probably be too expensive for Hasbro.
Hasbro should hire/takeover all of the 3rd party companies. The more minds working on these masterpiece figures, the better.
TF-one no this is unique toys.
Hell yeah
WOW! You made that transformation look so smooth Emgo LoL 🤣👍, really nice figure in my opinion and thanks for the review.

"index finger moves separately so you can point"
I don't know why I imagined Optimus doing "point down" gesture from dark souls towards Megatron
Beautiful. Absolute perfect transformation
I like that this transformation is basically 80% turn him inside out(like a popple)
