This tragedy of a figure was released only a few years prior to those amazing Studio Series figures. The engineering/quality control comparison is incredible.
I really liked the AOE Deluxe and Voyager Dinobots just for how cool they looked (actual quality varied), Voyager Evasion OP was pretty sweet too. rest of them were pretty ehh, Crosshairs used horrible rubber parts that tore easily to form the trenchcoat, AND HALF THE VEHICLE MODE WAS UNDETAILED!
I can’t believe I wanted the original one as a child. I look at him now thinking back on the various leader class Optimus Primes I could’ve chosen, and of all of them my 7 year old pea brain chose this 💀
Now that you mention it, I wish Legendary Toys made a KO version of MPM Optimus Prime in the Nightwatch colors. They did Nemesis and Magnus, so I'm kinda surprised Nightwatch wasn't done.
How the heck did they charge 60 for this... I doubt it even cost them $10 per figure It's like they saw how successful Prime's 1st-Editions were, and thought they could quarter-ass it and the "1st-Edition" label would sell it alone
I never really liked the aoe/tlk design for optimus. Always thought it looked weird, looked like ultra Magnus walked on set, yeeted optimus off set, and started pretending to be optimus, never liked the idea of the transforming robot looking nothing like a transforming robot, and just never had a reason to like the design. I hated it even more after they so unceremoniously deleted the pogchamp evasion mode for it. The toys made it worse, as this design was made intentionally impossible to transform at a time where hasbro's engineering for theese toys was at an all time low. I simply think that optimus should have WINDOWS on his chest and VEHICLE PARTS instead of random panels that have the same deco as the vehicle. A vehicle that defeated the whole point of robots in disguise as the vehicle DIDNT EVEN EXIST.
@@Jcc2224 I also got him for $15. Wanted a knight Optimus so I got silver not-in-the-movie knight Prime until I bought The Last Knight leader class Optimus.
Man, age of extinction was nearly 8 years ago. Now I feel old.
Man i cant belive that
im now 19, time goes too fast...
You punched me right in my age

@@jay9inetvv ughh another religious troll comment 💀
Now it's 9
The paint concept is nice, but it would probably look better on the Voyager TLK Optimus Prime

To be fair, you can say that for the Age of Extinction line as a whole
@@faxmuchine Now looking back at the line as a whole, yeah I agree.
@@faxmuchine Only good toys from that toyline are Evasion Optimus and Old Black Camaro Bumblebee, I think
Drift wa kinda good
These things are like, 40 dollars brand new in box on eBay AU, and I've always been tempted to get it. I don't know why. Morbid curiosity perhaps.

Basically they took the complaint from some people arguing that TF toys were getting over-complex too seriously and went too simple that time.
I do kinda like his overall color scheme. And I'm a bit impressed that he can stand up on his own with that ridiculously huge backpack.
Nah this paint scheme is badass
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. The black just looks really good with all the silver.

Wow. It seems Star Wars wasn't the only Hasbro toy line that nosedived in quality in 2014
Hasbro had a dark period in general in 2013 through 2017, and TF was lucky to not get completely shat on, just barely
Don’t forget the Jurassic World toy line, which was so bad that they lost the license to Mattel.
@@HolyCow0273 the only good figure of that toy line was the indominus rex
@@sithlord2225my transformers prime beast hunters ratchet has cracks on the backpack and my beast hunters arcee has some broken pieces
The truck's colors make it look like a Coca Cola truck
It’s weird where it went DOTM to AOE, TLK almost a hybrid and studio series is getting better
With how shell-formery it is, it genuinely feels like a KO from the dollar store or something.
believe me theres a bootleg version of this mold and one step version (without the springs its manual on that version)
honestly i had this figure and i loved it it lasted a year of bruitial play and suffered the fate that even modern figures suffer breakage
The paintjob would probably look cool on an Earthrise Optimus Prime figure
its so hollow you can eat ur beans inside of it
BUMBLEBEEEEAAAAANS
Jcc2224 in my opinion the TLK Optimus Prime is the best version of both aoe and Tlk Optimus Prime
Honestly, because of seeing so much of this toy in my mind age of extinction prime has that backpack
I both of the Silver Knight Primes. The first edition is currently in one of my bins.
Great idea for an Optimus paintjob. Just needed to be used on a better figure. Also needed to shave, I suppose.
I got one of these MISB off Facebook for $15 CAD this afternoon.
I'm still waiting for another nightwatch optimus prime deco on any mold
Now that you mention it, I wish Legendary Toys made a KO version of MPM Optimus Prime in the Nightwatch colors. They did Nemesis and Magnus, so I'm kinda surprised Nightwatch wasn't done.
@@Jcc2224 I had nightwatch prime when I waa a kid. I'd love to see that color deco come back
Razor crest review?
He just wanted your face

I did have a different mold that wasn't like this but similar before the movie came out
Turtle Prime.

I don't mind it looks kind of cool
I found this figure sealed for 30$ is it worth buying?
It's so ugly.... I want it
I got my optimus and it didnt have wheels :/
This thing looks terrible. Almost makes me want it.
Jeez why were toys so garbage during that time frame? Lol
Sorry. I didn’t get the Don’t Buy This message in time. You were too late.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wtf is up with the Spanish comments? 🤣
They’re all going on about very irrelevant things, which tells me that they’re robots.
They're bootybots, my channel started getting hit by them about a week ago. lol
@@Jcc2224 Bootybots! What a great name for them!
@@Jcc2224 oh damn
no sé, probablemente ni siquiera se relacionen con el video
Looks like a bootleg
That thing is ugly mayne
also i know of $20 figures with worse quality
This thing just sounds gross man
In my opinion, all the AoE figures are bad figures. That toy line was really the dark times of Transformers. Straight garbage.
Sure the deco was trash, but voyager Evasion Mode Optimus Prime was objectively a super good figure. The rest? Eh not as defendable. lol
Is absolutely terrible optimist prime figure
