    By Primus… it’s been a looooong time since I’ve heard someone talk about this specific figure. I remember I got this on my birthday before I hit the first grade, and I _STILL_ have him to this day, albeit, a couple of parts missing (side leg flaps that make the cabin, the shoulder guards, and the missiles).
    But other than that, still in perfect condition.

    As far as Bayverse Voyagers go, the 2007 Optimus mold is exactly why I was glad to skip out until 2010's Hunt for the Decepticons post-RotF filler line brought the fantabulousness that is the Battle Blade mold, which I didn't get right then when it was on store shelves (it was like 2014 or 2015 when I got the DotM Battle Hook repaint in a trade).

    Still have the original from when the first movie came out. One of the only toys I decidedly painted the grey bits over with silver paint including the weapons as the grey looked too dull on the original. Can't say the paint treatment has aged well though. Not the biggest fan of the auto transformation, however loved the idea of a flip up hologram driver, and how well it was integrated into the alt mode.

How'd I find this video? well tbh, I had a hard time remembering which version of the old-timus toys was mine, since theres leaders and voyagers from both the 2007 movie and 2009 (rotf). And I vaguely remember that the one I had a flap at the bottom of his foot, that folds out to become the back part of his feet. And the two gimmicks mentioned. Finally scratchef that itch offa my brain since remembering something from aeons ago turns out to be difficult after all lmfao 💀💀

    Thanks for this video! I think he was my 2nd large movie figure, after Bumblebee. He’s cool! You can actually use the flip over guns in robot mode (might have to flip the mounts and reattach). It leans the fuel tanks on his shoulders, which looks more accurate, and kind of balances his weight. The truck front on his back can sort of unsnap and disconnect, but I wouldn’t recommend…

    I have 2 of this mold. I have 1 that I found mostly complete at a yard sale. Same colors as the one in the vid except his rims and guns are silver. The other one I bought at either Walmart or Target. The colors are just weird to me. Front of the truck "hood" is gray w/ light red flames. Rest of the truck is blue with silver flames on the doors and sleeper and orange-ish flames on just the fronts of the rear wheel well covers. The guns are mostly gray with the exaughst stack parts being black.

    Holly shit I have this one! He was one of the first transformers my parents bought me. He was fun because he was very articulateble. Compared to some of the other ones I’ve got it’s not very good but okay. He’s also in terrible condition and missing parts.

    I was about 4 when I got this and I thought it was the leader class one. I spent 20 min trying to figure out where the chest flaps were because I didn’t realize it was a completely different figure
