You can use the dead alternate optimue prime with the grey roller. And when the weapons pack /centurion comes out, just use the blue one for earthrise prime.
@@joes4194 technically Hasbro's quality compared to toys like Lego, is bad. So if you want to improve the toy, this gives you the best option, or don't buy the figure at all. Most importantly don't send me a nasty comment like that you prick!
This is why I love this figure. It is the best masterpiece/G1 style Optimus we have gotten in a mainstream transformers show in a long while and not only is the figure fantastic on its own, but these upgrades really show just how much of the original G1 figure this Optimus resembles. (One neat idea for an upgrade would to replace the wheels on the trailer and a prime with Wheels that use rubber tires.)
The reason for the color mismatch is because the upgrade kit is for the Volvo optimus prime trailer that is the same mold but has different coloring and paint aps that better reflect a G1 Optimus Prime
I picked this up myself, and yes, you need a small round file to make the ports work, and you can also us the file on the inside of the wheels to make them spin freely.
Dunno anything about these aardvarks, they sound quite vicious. but I got into a scuffle with some rats the other day that were chewing up the wires of one of my moose coolers at me camp eh. I barely made it out alive.
@@petehenderson668 LOL Rats are vicious for sure, glad you're safe bro. But Arrdvarks barely has any teeth. Just some vestigial molars in the back. They mainly use their tongues to lick up insects. I don't know what the hell Emgo was doing to an aardvark to get that injury LOL.
I'm honestly not sure how that can even happen in the U.S. As far as I know, Aardvarks live in Africa. Unless what Emgo means by "Aardvark" is a giant rat.
Thank you emgo. Because of this video, I got my set from nonnef's website. Still super tight, but rather have that to shave off than where I have to "add" material to fill the post. My Earthrise Prime is so ready to "Rise"!!!!!!!
I wanna give a little tip for roller: you can file down the axels and even the interior of the wheel so that he is able to roll freely. It takes a while, and I just had one of those wooden cheap files, cut it down to a skinny length and it worked out incredibly well!
For less future hair-tearing, I recommend picking up a mini hand drill for model kits. Super cheap on Amazon. Either that or a set of drill bits and use them like you would a screwdriver. Unpleasant to hold, but with a drill bit set, you’re almost guaranteed to have a bit to fit the holes/pegs you need. Also, a proper X-Acto knife/hobby knife and small metal files could help as well.
This is a very nice channel since he shows great kits and builds them to show you what you need to do and basically does a review too so 100/10 for that effort.
I like it and Nonnef's customer service is great. They messed up an order and a couple of emails later, it's all fixed. Missing items arrived roughly 5 days later along with several extra weapons kits.
While this is tempting! I think I'll just wait for the Centurian Drone Weaponizer set. This Roller is just too big and I don't really care for the other stuff, but it is nice to have the option. Also, the ending with the turntable, I just imagine Prime saying "Behold! Now my trailer has risen!" before questioning if that's the right word.
THANK YOU EMGO!!! I've been looking for a upgrade kit for my Earthrise Prime and I finally have one. You are right so of the holes are SUPER TIGHT, I used my Dremel with a stone tip to bore the holes smoothly without warping them. The kit is not perfect but its looks so much better.
I am glad I found your channel. I bought the big devistaor and had no idea how to build him, but thanks to your step by step I got him built thank you.
There are two nice additions for this kit on Shapeways that Nonnef put out there. One is an upgrade to the trailer stands that come on the trailer to account for the added height from the side rails, and another is a spacer to go under the wheels to support the other side along with the side rails. Definitely help complete this already amazing kit.
I really enjoy your channel man. When something new comes out I always wait to watch your reviews. Since watching this video I went out and purchased this kit for my optimus prime. I cant wait for it to arrive as I think it looks like a definate need for optimus.
Hey! I just got my kit and assembled my roller! Used your video as reference! Now before you put on roller's wheels you can carefully carve out the holes with a scalpel or a very sharp knife! This way the little guy can roll eventually! Worked pretty well on mine! Thank you so much for your reviews! They're really fun to watch!
It’s cool how they give you color options for the kit, thinking of getting it myself, not sure what color for roller I want, grey is cartoon accurate, and blue is g1 toy accurate. So idk
Emgo you should do a rewiew of Optimus prime MB 11 !! We know you did leader class a long time ago so it would be an honor to see again a new review of the new version of that amazing figure !!
Formerly Orion Pax, leader of the free Autobots and worthy of the Matrix and yet... so humble and dignified. My dude: Optimus Prime. By the way, wicked kit!, emgo316.
Great video! As soon as you said “build video”, I thought “welcome to ‘This Old Trailer’...”. As for the fit of the pieces, I think you aim for “plastic-block-tight”. Maybe a small round/rat tail file, or even a drill bit, held in hand, can fine tune the holes? Or extra fine sandpaper to lightly trim pegs? This kit restores so many great G1 features. Wonderful kit.
I just love as a Canadian this kit with exchange and shipping cost is almost the same as the figure itself making it basically the same cost as MP-10 with half the plastic. What a world we live in....
THIS .... LOOKS... AMAZING!!! I really need a set STAT!! What a great upgrade and it looks like that plastic quality is so top notch! I’m loving everything about this! I do wish we totally got another set of arms altogether for the medical drone but I am so impressed! Great review @EMGO316 😁
Just put my kit together. You weren't kidding about the tightness. Still a very nice set. Even got one for Dead Prime and plan on getting the black set (not yet released) for the WalMart Nemesis trailer because even an evil Prime deserves a Roller.
I just ordered this kit. At first I wasn't going to get a second set but I changed my mind. Nonnef makes some awesome stuff! I love the Siege Omega track set! Can't wait to install it. Emgo, you are awesome and hilarious. I salute you with a big SPLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! OH Yeah! Can you do a video with this kit and then see if it works with Siege Prime??! That would be awesome! Thanks!
So sorry my friends Firstly May I'd like to introduce my self sir. I'm Thetonhero(Thai UA-camr of toy lover Marvel Hero and Lego sir.) Now , I have 1 question for ask to with you sir. Where did your brought of Specials part for upgrade of tailer optimus prime? Please help me sir.
I just ordered mine. Cool note, you can choose the colors you want when you order. Mine is the "Death Scene" Optimus, so happy I could order in black & gray
Emgo you are the best youtuber i know in my whole life i am a huge fan of this channel since 2014 cuz of those transformers age of extintion toys you review, even i cant buy your toys you had, but it feels i had it always, i always watch your transformers video cuz im a huge fan too of transformers, and you are heartwarming,enjoyable,learning and others, your awsome guy, im subscribe at this channel for 6 years, with new acc every year 😂 cuz sometimes i accidently sign out and sometimes i reformat and forgot the password 😂. Thank you emgo for making us happy,enjoy,heartwarming.❤ God bless.
I don't mind the bumper being a different color. It makes sense to me that a bumper might be a different color. The ramp bugs me, though. I'd probably leave the original one, with the shield, and not use the new one.
I love how the trailer connect-ability with roller makes it unnecessary to use Prime, and since the G1 bio had each as an autonomous part of Prime they can go off and have there own adventures, while prime forgets all about them.
It's amazing, after watching this, the trailer just seems like they released it unfinished... I also like that they made the new parts compatible with the smaller figures, since the original Optimus had all those little seats that we could never use from the G1 days. I do see some room for improvements, like the black feet on the legs that swing out should be on a hinge that can fold them under the trailer instead of having to remove them and flip them around. Just my opinion, but nice that it makes the trailer more "full" and complete :D
Ok so they must have heard you, because the colors on mine lined up with my trailer perfectly. I also went with Blue Roller, but yes those tires do not roll unless...you carve them out too...
Hasbro Trailer still looks small with upgrade kit. I am better off using the fansproject Or bts trailer, its more proportional but theres no 3d printed adapter yet.
Dagnabbit! I just received and installed the ZXB-brand trailer upgrade kit & roller to my rig early last week, only to find out today that there's a superior, more complete upgrade kit! And at a much lower price, too! But by golly I'm gonna buy it anyway-- even if it is on backorder as of this writing-- 'cuz I'm just that big a degenerate addict of change-y plastic robot warrior dudes. I'm sure y'all can relate...
02:48-02:52 Roller in the original 1984 G1 Transformers TV series was in the color gray and the gray version of Roller is obviously the better choice if you're going for screen accuracy.
BLOOOOOOSH!!! 😜 I got a chuckle out of that. I still don't like how short the trailer is, and it's even more frustrating that they left so much out. But I will definitely have to check out this upgrade kit. Should make my figures' trailer that much better.
Emgo is so underrated. He deserves a million subscribers for all his hard work making fun and entertaining videos.
Draco Xenomorhalis Agreed
The more audience engagement the better that's how UA-cam see how many people are watching the the video but I agree
He's caused me to spend soooo much money.😁
@@Khorzho yeah exactly😂
In my opinion I believe he's wayyy too loud sometimes, and he tries too hard to be funny.

Please tell me "wild aardvark attack" is code for "I got a paper cut from the dictionary". :D
it's code for freakin' aardvark attack
How is the aardvark
emgo316 that must have been a very traumatizing experience
Maybe
The burning question is why would an aardvark go on the attack in the first place.
Is it Mascot's fault?
I bet it's Mascot's fault.
Lesson learned. If I ever get this Optimus and the upgrade kit, get a round file for the holes.
I usually used a closed pair of scissors and just scrape out the sides that way-
So noted. Many thank yous.
Hey! It's a stealth episode of Emgo Builds Stuff! The show where he teaches you how to fight aardvarks with plastic toys!
One good thing with all the tightness, no worries about things falling apart after putting everything together.
True
The greatest sayings by Emgo in this video
"WE SCREW" and "BLOOOOOOOOOOOLSSSHHHHHHHH"
Bought this and it's arrived before Optimus himself 😄
Lol
Lol
Lol
Lol
Finally got my prime yesterday
I saw a white hair fall down randomly. love the review!
The reason for the color mismatch is because the upgrade kit is for the Volvo optimus prime trailer that is the same mold but has different coloring and paint aps that better reflect a G1 Optimus Prime
"The aardvark must be stopped, no matter the cost!"

More like Emgo shall stand, Aardvark shall fall no matter what
But I love the 1984 th show reference and I am sure you'll end up famous
4:30 best story of all time.
You can also slot the shield between the back wheels to prevent them from bowing inwards after you tighten down the screws!
I picked this up myself, and yes, you need a small round file to make the ports work, and you can also us the file on the inside of the wheels to make them spin freely.

Sword of Omens, give me G1 beyond G1!
