I got the C-01! Thanks VERY MUCH for assisting me in procuring it! It's fantastic!!!!!
My absolute favorite Optimus since the first one I had in 1985. Just superb.
It's funny that, while he can achieve the pose on the original box art, he ironically can't achieve the pose on the new one due to his limited waist swivel.
It's nice that retailers are regularly stocking him, even if there are windows of unavailability, so people who missed out can have another chance.
“I’m just gushing over this toy.” Because it’s freaking awesome, dude! Thanks for sharing.
You got that right! Till all are one!
They Need Make more of This Missing Link Toys They are Awesome
Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are next and on some of the sites now - but they definitely need more of the original Autobot cars definitely.
The only g1 Optimus prime I’ll ever need I love it
Man, Takara's gotta do some Decepticons now. Megatron would be awesome just for that gun mode.
FACTS!! Megatron is the only one that I would double up on if they release it.
One thing I really liked is that earthrise/kingdom Prime can hold the energon axe.
Having them standing next to each other looks great.
I'd like to see Soundwave and the seekers for the Decepticons. It'd be interesting to see if they tackle ol' Megs. They'd have to reengineer him from the ground up since guns are a no no. Since we got two Primes, why not a more cartoon accurate Bumblebee as well? Anyways, glad you liked it. I feel like a kid with mine.
Missing Link as a toy line I thought we would never get and yet Takara-Tomy pulled it off, and to start off with a spectacular reinvention of G1 Optimus Prime wether it’s toy accurate or anime/cartoon accurate is one of those moments where you could easily shed a tear at a dream come true.
Cool, I'm glad that it has got full articulation.
4:48 I didn’t realize how small Earthrise Optimus Prime’s trailer is . Hopefully the upcoming Transformers Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime’s trailer is bigger.
I got them both and it is worth getting the other one for the trailer because roller has been modified where he has the little red light or you can flip over that back portion and he has the port where you can put the fuel line or the gun in. Also the battle part of the trailer will come out of the trailer on wheels. Unfortunately this means that no longer launches roller like it used to. However it does come with missiles that still fire spring loaded like the original. And the Matrix colors are brighter gold Zach Metalized gold
It's a fantastic update to the original. I'm gonna regret skipping this. Great review, you were so excited.
I absolutely love this figure. I transformed into my 10 year old self as soon as I opened him up.
Same here. It's better even with all the articulation and built in fists.
DItto!!
The feed themselves also swivel I've had mine in several different poses
It is as you described. It’s the toy we imagined as we played with it as kids. It does have limitations but not many. It’s a blast to pose around and looks very good on the shelf. It’s an instant favorite. He’s posing up with all sorts of toys like 3 3/4” Snake Eyes, Origins He-Man, and Megablox Turtles minifigs as an example. I need to find my C-3PO and R2 to add to the mix. I’m debating Misssing link Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. I’m not sure about those. If they made Jazz or Soundwave I’d jump on those. Cliffjumper with that bazooka is almost enough for me to preorder. I’m still debating. Prime is awesome. No way in hades Megatron get the same treatment.
Congrats on getting C-02! I prefer C-02, despite not having all the extra stuff that C-01 comes with. IMO, less is more. Why? It's cartoon accurate! The style on the head alone is magnificent! C-02 is the version we should have had in 1984. Don't get me wrong... C-01 Is awesome! I don't need it if I already have like 3 OG and two 2004 reissues. I just swiped one of my 2004 reissue trailers and paired it with C-02. Good idea on placing the yellow bumper stickers. Those are a must!
Never knew this was something I needed till they announced it…and they delivered big time. Just an awesome thing to have and mess with, particularly if you had the original as a kid. I went with the toon version too….just couldn’t justify paying the higher price for yet another trailer with my favorite feature removed.
Don't forget the ab crunch
I forgot to show it but yeah it's a cool feature.
@@RodimusPrimal congrats!
I ordered the toy colored version since that was what I grew up with as a kid. I DO like the animation versions matrix chamber though.
I'd also like a missing link Six Shot but I wont hold my breath.
Love this figure
He also has an ab crunch that I haven't seen you do yet. It's a little stiff
I got the C-01 and it's awesome. I'm guessing they'll do Soundwave eventually since he's bulkier and can take the added articulation and stuff. Much as I'd love a(nother) Starscream, not sure the Seekers would work well, especially adding articulated hands someplace. MP-52 likely remains the ultimate Starscream, but this here is the ultimate Prime. G1, articulated...excellent job.
I can't wait to get mine!
I'm 1.31 mins into the video and I've got to c-01 I hope love him as much as I love the toy version
Convoy? That's just Prime.
He looks awesome!!
They rereleased him with the oval quad headlamp assembly, which helps to confirm G1 OP as a 1976-79 Freightliner FLT cabover tractor truck. The square dual headlamps of the toon/MP-44 were never realistic. And the rectangular quad lights of the MP-10 mold didn't actually drop until mid-1984, years after the G1 Wave 1 toy designs were already locked in as Diaclones.
He still has the raised, skinny vertical mold blocks on the sides under the silver stripes on the doors, which I believe are meant to replicate the early vertically-oriented door latches. (In 1980 these latches were turned horizontally.)
The bottom front and rear corners of the doors are still squared off, which confirms 1976-79; and not rounded, as seen in the 1980-84 body style.
The cab has the molded details of an FLT9664T, but Takara shrunk the size of the cab forward toward the windshield so the back of the cab lined up with the bot elbows, and this gives the cab the proportions of a smaller FLT8664T. The 86 would probably deliver better-looking proportions in bot mode, but the 96 might allow enough room to squeeze a Matrix in there behind the seats in real life!
In the original Takara TF identification number system, 01 was for Convoy, and 02 was for Hound. It's a little confusing that they changed that, here.
*All I want to say is Happy 40th Anniversary to the Transformers Franchise, and Domo Arigato Takara Tomy! Congratulations!!!*
I got one of my own not too long ago and I just love him, who knew Prime was into MA lol?👍🏼
Nice video man. These missing link figures are the cats pj's.
Always love watching your videos
I can only find this for €115. I really want it but not sure l can justify that price for a G1 Prime with no trailer.
I’m unsure whether to get this or not.
Excellent video.
Only OG G1 toys I ever got was Grimlock and Snarl. I wasn't able to catch that many episodes of the morning toons so it wasn't the Big Deal for me (Japanese anime like Gundam & Macross were our thing as new immigrants to Canada). So the appeal of this line is not as great for me. But if TT comes up with a brand new ML Megatron, I'll get 2 faction leaders, as I can't see me collecting the whole line, it's too expensive.
They WONT do a missing link G1 megatron because they are afraid to upset the woke community because his alt mode is a gun and in some states the G1 gun Megatron is atually NOW ILLEGAL.
super cool. i love it!!!
Not bad for a prime figure
Can you make a Whatif video on Starscream? What would he look like if he had the unicron upgrade and what would his new name be.
I got both C0-1 and 2.
Nice. I kind of want C-01 but I'm holding out for SS86.
Cool.
This quickly replaced Earthrise Optimus as my favorite modern (non MP) Optimus
He's a great figure for sure. I'm tempted to get the full version, but I'm saving my money for the SS86.
@@RodimusPrimal have we seen SS86 Optimus yet? I know people saw listings but part of me is worried he's going to just be a repaint of Earthrise. Trying to keep my excitement tempered. I've also splurged on a few OPs so far this year...so what's one more 😂
@@DaBigCheeso talk right now is that it is a new mold.
Cool 😎
I got both versions because all I have is a KO trailer
This was a great review on missing link optimus this figure looks so good i wish i could've gotten it got i couldn't afford it other then that your review is great i leave a like
I FREAKING LO❤VE IT SO COOL
This is how the Diaclone Car Robo Convoy SHOULD have been from the start
I really do like the more cartoon color acerate look to Prime but I still don't understand the need for the rub up symbol under the head.
It just so happens to be where they placed it on the G1 toy. It's more so for the person playing with it for the cool factor.
I think this toy is generating dangerous amounts of gushing. Not sure what the LD50 is for gushing but make no mistake. Everything has one.
Jokes. Hope they make a Megatron.
Good times.

I can't stand the short smoke stacks on the reissue prime.
Same here.
EARLY GANG EARLY GANG
