Nice review man :) appreciate the in depth transformation and information provided for each component of the figures. Sad to say other reviewers of this product did not specify what items came with what. So glad you mentioned that.
I wish I could play with just half of the figures you display on your show! my inner child is totally jealous. this guy looks like a cybertronian semi-truck, a futuristic ultra magnus.
I thought the same thing about the power armor, it really looked like you could put the smaller robot inside the frame and then unclip him with all (or most) of the armour attached at once. Would have been some nice play value considering the price.
Good review and the figure looks really cool. Just the helmet should go a bit more down on his actual head. A comparisson to Hyper Nova would have been great and didn't you want to show the glowing swords? An update video for both would things would be very nice.
+FaustvonDrachen CHUG refers to "Classics, Henkei, Universe, Generations" C-Clips were used on a variety of figures to attach weapons (e. g. Kup and Scourge)
You probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend lately :)
Would the arm/hand armour pieces fit on if you rotated his regular hands around 180 degrees? I was thinking that might conceal his blue fingers and make the arm upgrade look more cohesive.
+Dolan Duck IT feels about right for the stuff included. My only issue is that with the armor on (which looks quite nice!), the cradle is just a chunk of thing you have to find a place for.
That's Nova Prime. He set out on his ship the Proudstar to preserve Cybertron's Culture by Cyberforming Barren worlds. Using a Plasma Core to power Millions of Insecticon drones Controlled by the Ferrotaxis Supercomputer that has all of Cybertron's knowledge in it. But alas he came into contact with a strange planet that had no need for Cyberforming. It wasn't a Planet at All... it was Unicron the Chaos Bringer. His evil Corrupted Nova Prime & his Crew on the Proudstar the member that was not affected was the Survivor of Lithone from the Animated Movie. Who programmed the ship to crash into Earth to be burried underneath New York City. It's all in the Transformers Devestation Game. See his Sword the Hilt hold The Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Wait wheres the Autobot or Decepticon insignia Symbol?
Too bad you can't close up the gantry and then have him ride in it like a Mario boot. And why did they make the connection points for the gauntlets clear plastic?!?!? It's been 30 years, EVERY manufacturer should know that's a bad idea by now.
his arms look way to skinny compared to the other proportions of his body. The more i see this figure the more i really don't like it and think it cost way too much for what it is. I'll stick with my Maketoys nova.
One again peaugh. Thank you so much. I've been sitting on the fence about this guy for a long time. And with your video I've finally decided.
Nice review man :)

I haven't been excited about an MMC figure since Feral Rex until this came along. It's all in the wings baby!
I wish I could play with just half of the figures you display on your show! my inner child is totally jealous. this guy looks like a cybertronian semi-truck, a futuristic ultra magnus.
Since I missed out on Hyper Novae, I've got this one on pre order. Thanks, Peaugh!
The way his vehicle mode is so streamlined, he almost looks like he's supposed to be from Velocitron
I must own this!! I can also see a war/fall of cybertron Magnus coming from this mold
I have the MakeToys version. I think I'll just be holding onto that. Thanks for the video!
this looks absolutely awesome i gotta pre-order this guy
All these years and it's still like putting together FansProject City Commander. :P
I thought the same thing about the power armor, it really looked like you could put the smaller robot inside the frame and then unclip him with all (or most) of the armour attached at once. Would have been some nice play value considering the price.
He reminds me of a number of Gundams in his final stage.
The Master Sword seems to have the Atuobot Matrix of Leadership molded into it
This reminds so much of Cybertron Optimus Prime and I love it
Good review and the figure looks really cool. Just the helmet should go a bit more down on his actual head.
A comparisson to Hyper Nova would have been great and didn't you want to show the glowing swords?
An update video for both would things would be very nice.
Would like to see your collection.
STRIKE FREEDOM PRIME LAUNCHING!.... Heh awesome.
's like he's driving around with his wardrobe
Is that a CHUG C-Clip bar on the upper arm guards? If so, I'm sold!
+Colin Lowrie yeah
+Colin Lowrie What is a CHUG C-Clip bar ?
+FaustvonDrachen CHUG refers to "Classics, Henkei, Universe, Generations" C-Clips were used on a variety of figures to attach weapons (e. g. Kup and Scourge)
Colin Lowrie Thanks !!!
Its almost the end of april... When is it coming out.
Man this looks awesome the armour going on him reminds me of Megaman x Falcon armour
I've been considering this for my first third party figure. Do you think he's worth the hefty price tag?
You probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend lately :)
@Colin Aden Yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)

+sjd83 I'll try it shortly
this reminds me of the mobile command center from hot wheels battle force 5
Peaugh do you think Seraph with the cradle is worth it for its price or nah ? Also does the figure have problems ?
+Dolan Duck IT feels about right for the stuff included. My only issue is that with the armor on (which looks quite nice!), the cradle is just a chunk of thing you have to find a place for.
+peaugh do you think it's a good nova prime for a collection ?
+lazerwaffle depends on what your scale and preferences are. personally I think the maketoys one is better
+Alex Dalton thanks !
+peaugh does the armor limit its movement like the maketoys hyper novae?
To be honest, the core robot of this set, or Battle Core optimus is what I believe are good representations of Primus.
You mean Prima, right? Primus is the gigantic robot that transforms into Cybertron.
TinfoilGaming Primus as in the 13 primes
Primus is Cybertron. The 13 Primes are called The Primes. Make sure you know what you mean.
Dude I read the IDW comics like 2 years ago, Prima and Primus are glanced over quickly in like one issue but thanks for the correction.
That's Nova Prime. He set out on his ship the Proudstar to preserve Cybertron's Culture by Cyberforming Barren worlds. Using a Plasma Core to power Millions of Insecticon drones Controlled by the Ferrotaxis Supercomputer that has all of Cybertron's knowledge in it.

Wait wheres the Autobot or Decepticon insignia Symbol?
how much did this all cost? I might get it.
On TF Source site, the release is april and still on preorder, did they make an error ?
+Shuraking Dino Really ? i never have problem, even when I was stuck...
Somebody at MMC really wanted to make a gundam
The only reason i prefer this over hypernovae is the price XD
would you recommend this if you already have hypernovae?
+David Escalante Hyper Novae is a little better overall I think. But the more I play with this one the more I enjoy it.
+peaugh
to me his robot mode looks more Robotech than anything. without armor
Cool, but it feels more like some anime mecha than a Transformers to me. Get well soon, I have the flu as well!:)
I take it that Oberon is supposed to be Obsidian
Wow this thing looks old. Like it should have been released with the city commander armor, lol.
he's basically a head taller then a voyager?
I'm keeping my money.
How's the plastic quality on this guy?
+MrSoundwave64Z Solid. I havent had many complaints about most of MMCs figures.
I prefer the Noave Prime
pretty
Without the winged armor he looks more like Prima than Nova Prime. I wonder if that is on purpose.

This thing looks like it would have made a great model kit. As a transforming robo, seems kinda weak.
maketoys is too small this weird looking this is a perfect hight for a chug nova prime figure in my opinion gonna get him maybe not the armor though
I kinda wish he didnt have the giant fuck me boots.. also the gantry just standing off to the side is kinda ehhhhhhhhhh
I think i still prefer hyper novae after seeing this
it is a Gundam.
He's a nice figure, but the core robot doesn't look anything like Nova or Prima.
Sportsshoe prime
his arms look way to skinny compared to the other proportions of his body. The more i see this figure the more i really don't like it and think it cost way too much for what it is. I'll stick with my Maketoys nova.
Thank you, he looks nice, but I can tell from this video he isn't right for me.
Gears of War much
PARTS FORMING?!?! WORST TOY EVER!!!! -100/10!!!! THIS FIGURE SUCKS ASS, DON'T BUY!!!!1111111
Good one, friend. (Yes, I understand the sarcasm.)
I remember that from Emgo
