The older I get the more I appreciate fan (and official!) alt builds! RR Slugger does some great videos on that topic too

[@soccerandtrack10]

Alt girls too...

[@rewindproductions7261]

Woah hey, is Ben Cossy an IDW fan?

[@purplehaze2358]

I've been pretty out of the loop lately. Prior to binge watching this channel, I didn't even know this set existed.

[@animatorxstudios100]

The idw Dark Cybertron, Robots In Disguise, and most definitely More Than Meets The Eye (and it’s sequel, Lost Light) were such a big part of my child hood, and, even though (other than Dark Cybertron) these different sub lines didn’t feature Optimus much, I still really appreciate this alternative model. And, like everybody, I love the Bumblebee look a lot to.
Thanks for doing this video Mr. Rahi! See you next time!

[@rewindproductions7261]

Ah MTMTE, my childhood.

[@RansomFern]

James Robert's run is some of my favorite anything I've ever read!

[@animatorxstudios100]

Nice,Rewind Productions. 😁👍

[@bigjim5028]

Looks so much better

[@kwiekadrian4]

- the only problem with original was that, he does not have knees
- so you added the knees?
- ...
- you added the knees, right?

From Auralnauts: The Transformographagizers! Cars that trick your eyes!
Based on what I'm seeing, I think I like the design he's done for the one from the Bumblebee movie more than the one from the IDW comic because the model looks just a little bit more polished. But you know, I also don't have much of a vested interest in Transformers. It certainly is impressive though what can be done with just a single set and it's the exact same character!

[@Chevyman3030]

The IDW prime was in TFW2005 a few times in the radicons forums you just gotta dig for the posts tho

[@Jetblast01]

Fascinating.

[@prismstar438]

My problem with calling the IDW rebuild "better" is that it effectively defeats the purpuse of what the set was trying to do in the first place: a buildable Optimus Prime figure that can transform back and forth with minimal partsforming.

[@prismstar438]

If you want a non-Transforming Optimus Prime, just get the Revoltech, or RED, or the many, many other non-Transforming Prime figures.

[@shiverfan4867]

Agreed, and this model has a bunch of problems, so I don't get how it's an improvement

[@GEI323]

I’d like to see the alternate head on the original set

[@djt08031996]

I was trying to figure out how I'd handle the optics for a Nemesis Prime to put next to this guy. Thanks for answering for me. Only question now is which shade of red to use

[@purplehaze2358]

I miss knee articulation in LEGO sets, I really do.

[@localdoormatshitter]

Ima get it and prob build the alternative model for size

[@OSSOYT]

Build back better!

[@leighferdgames1593]

Here’s the thing this mod defeats the purpose of it being the original G1 model

[@ricardo_alemanes]

Please share the instructión manual,

[@BenCossyOfficial]

The instructions are in the links in the description

[@Peeledlemon.]

We have to pay £15 to use the instructions

[@shiverfan4867]

Lmao

[@Godlayton]

Fx

[@henryheavy8044]

If non transformable figure is what they want then they should’ve just sticked to kreo sets

[@shiverfan4867]

"Build a better lego Optimus Prime" also the "better" lego Optimus: Can't hold up his gun, has ugly inner side legs, ugly back of the legs, innacurate ab section, parts that pop off, worse eyes, 1 accessory, and doesn't have a fun transformation feature

[@user-ej2lb4ii9y]

It's worse
