Fun fact. That full sized Bee prop from 2007 is now on permanent display at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. He is the first exhibit you see when you enter the building. He is currently mounted on a turn table and would rotate so guests could see him from all angles. I am unaware if he still rotates or not. But I do know that they dress him up for holidays like Halloween and Christmas.
To this day the whereabouts of this Optimus Prime puppet are unknown. Some might say it was kept in a storage facility somewhere, while others say it was completely destroyed. The world may never know...
I think it was stolen by the lizard people to prove the earth is actually not round or flat, but it's actually a cube, but that's just a theory I have heard 🙃
There’s an ad for Transformers 2010 (the Japanese version of G1 S3, I think) where a group of helicopters lift a dead Prime as a crowd chant “CONVOY!!!” I think that ad may be the first live-action appearance of G1 Prime, predating this show. That ad fascinates me more than any ad for the franchise, past or present.
That commercial was apparently produced by Tsuburaya Productions, best known for the Ultraman series - essentially, a short involving the military carrying an exploding robot corpse through a miniature city is right up their alley.
@@MisterSandmanAU The show takes place in America? Lots of casting agencies in Tokyo hiring foreigners for commercials back then, off the top of my head Capcom and Nintendo did now and then (look at the old Fire Emblem commercials)
That really was the attitude back then. as Immortalized by DemonTomatoDave: _There is a robot made of spoons, spurned by fanboys, nerds, and goons. G1ers love their old cartoons..._ I liked most of them but I think the faces needed another pass, especially Optimus.
I remember watching Season 5, although I was not aware that it was known as Season 5. Yes, I did watch the show when Tommy was there hanging out with Optimus Prime as Prime would tell him the stories of each episode, and thinking how cool it would be to have Optimus Prime telling you his experiences battling Megatron and the Decepticons. As a matter of fact, Season 5 was the time I had seen THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE for the first time as a 5 part episode, where each episode would be as a to be continued, like the first episode ended with Megatron saying, “Their defenses are broken. Let the slaughter begin!”, and the second ending with Cliffjumper saying, “Jazz, we’re not getting away!”, and so on and so forth. But yeah, I do remember watching Season 5 with those cool intros.
Crazy fact, Jason Jansen almost died on set when he was near the Optimus prime puppet arm for a shot but moved to eat at a table which very soon The arm fell and crash where Jason was standing a few moments ago, it’s insane how Optimus Prime almost killed a kid and Jason would probably never look at Optimus the same afterwards
I’ll never really understand the G1 obsession outside of collective nostalgia, but that puppet is OBJECTIVELY cool. I love when intense labor projects come out EXACTLY how the designer wanted! I hope there’s a piece of this thing in a warehouse somewhere but it’s probably long gone
I hate it when people boil it down to like a "nostalgia fetish" when its not mfs begging for everything to be g1, but rather just that bay himself single handedly and completely sucked the life out of all the transformers ESPECIALLY the decepticons. and the movies are all just the autobots fucking around until optimus prime gets his ass beat then he one shots the villian last minute. but the knightverse portrays the characters really well to their origin (apart from bumblebee but bay bumblebee is the only good thing that sadsack made so)
G1 Optimus’s design feels more like a leader who is reluctantly a soldier then other designs were they focus more on the soldier who just so happens to be a leader G1 in in all its goofy charm just nails that part of him
To be fair, Transformers is an "insert series name" obsession if you use your logic to it. Everyone has their favorite part of the franchise, whether it's G1, Animated or even IDW comics. We shouldn't just boggle it down to an obsession because of a vocal minority of fans.
"I’ll never really understand the G1 obsession outside of collective nostalgia" Because it's something that greatly contributed to making our childhoods great. There's nothing ultra complex, nothing to be baffled about. And there ain't no collective nostalgia because we went on for YEARS without even knowing just how popular the show was across the globe. We kept liking and keep liking it because... we like it. It's a show that ORGANICALLY gained following, didn't need the hype machinery that is the internet, didn't need any influencers telling us what to think about it. It simply appealed to us who are into action, adventure and sci-fi.
That first transformers movie always stood out as having the best looking effects even today, at least out of the first 4 movies, and that’s largely due to the effort of having a mix of in camera effects and cg. Same reason why the first Jurassic park still looks incredible
I remember watching these episodes towards the end of the G1 run. I think this was how I watched the 86 move for the first time when they showed it split up into a 5-parter. GI Joe also did something similar where they had the actual Sgt Slaughter wrestler do live action bookends to reruns of the Gi Joe cartoon around the same time.
Wow never knew about that giant Prime before, fascinating. I especially loved seeing the inner workings of the puppet. Thanks for showing that to us. Keep up the good work dude. I think what keeps your videos entertaining is your down to earth perspective. I'll watch a PrimeVsPrime video and, while its informative, the guy comes off as a bit of a robot himself. Your approach to content just feels more personal and it connects with viewers easier I think. One of my favorite videos was the one where you and your friends went to a bunch of stores looking for a Concept Megatron. It was fun because I do that myself like every 1-2 weeks but I'm alone as I don't have anyone my age that's also into hunting Transformers. I'd like more videos like that personally, its got that dopamine hit of "oooh what do you think we'll find today guys?" kinda feel. Anyways love the stuff so far, I rarely skip a video. Keep it up. Happy holidays!
when you say HUGE you're right, like way out of scale .. I used to watch this as a kind and my cousin drove a 70's White-Freightliner COE(the truck that Optimus Prime is) so I even knew it then.. just look at the size of the cab lights, when in real life you can hold the lens cover in your hand.. his little brother and me were BEST FRIENDS so we got into trouble a few times climbing on that truck.. one thing I really find cool with the behind the scenes is the eyes.. we always thought they were done with early CGI (which was new and catching on)or painted in lights like was done in Star Wars and Ghostbusters blasters
I remember watching this when I was a kid about Tommy's age (the stonewashed denim and other outfits and hair, is hilarious nostalgia. I remember watching it on the original Sci-Fi channel, early early in the morning for me (5am mountain time) and Sci-Fi channel would play this weird countdown thing before or when they were off the air... It was kind of this eye thing, I remember it freaking my Religious parents out because nobody knew what it was, just a weird eye thing and weird music. Old Sci-Fi at the very beginning was pretty awesome. Transformers played in a whole block of cartoons and kids shows that included old 60s puppet sci-fi. I specifically remember a show called Stingray about a submarine, that had a really cool theme song. "Stingrayyy... STINGRAY!!" lol - It was a cool time. I remember thinking how awesome it would be to be Tommy, and how cool the digital and puppet effects were - I think I remember wanting a giant Optimus in my house when I grew up or something... Ohhh to be 11 again, the last true year of childhood.
Well done! Did not know there was behind the scenes footage. It took like 10 years to finally have S5 uploaded onto youtube. There was an interview with Tommy's actor, he said he was almost crushed by Prime once. Merry Christmas.
Somewhere in storage I know I have a VHS recording of the 86 movie and it has Tommy and PM Prime. Gosh I wanna say that it was from 1987-1989 it's really hard to remember. But Season 5 as they call it really didn't broadcast where I lived, it was just straight up reruns of the seasons, no gimmicks, no giant Optimus, no cyber space cube, nadda.
This was pretty awesome and a marvel of film at the time, you dont see as much effort or creativity being done anymore as everything is animated and live action Not to say it's a bad thing but seeing something like this again would be pretty cool
I've seen clips of the G1 Optimus from the so-called Season 5, but not behind the scenes stuff. This is wild. I wonder if that Prime is actually scale. That voice stand-in haha.
Wow... I thought after G1, there was just G2 with those silly CGI transitions that no-one asked for. If I had seen that giant Optimus as a child it would have blown my mind.
I´ve always lamented the lack of a live-action Star Wars/ET-like movie made in the 80s in the style of Steven Spielberg, whenever I see 80s movies I often recognize things that could've been used in a film and I just think that it would have made a great cinematic experience but I am also grateful for the live-action movie franchise we have today. When I learned a couple of years ago about this live-action puppet I fell in love with it, especially because the Powermaster version of Optimus is my personal favorite G1 variant of the character, I also happened to come across some pictures of the costumes made for some Japanese school presentations, knowing that in the 80´s some kids had a visit from Ginrai and Starsaber is the most wholesome thing and I just wish I could hunt the Ginrai costume down and own it as my holy grail.
Man, if the crew can pull off a giant Optimus Prime puppet, just imagine what the Jim Henson Company can do if they were commissioned to do Optimus Prime.
I remember this. I had an old vhs with a lot of transformers episodes. Was also funny because it was all G1 episodes but they called it G2 because it was retold through a cube.
I saw a few of these episodes, specifically when they cut up the 86 film and prime was basically like “I died and then shit just continued to hit the fan.” As if prime just was in spectator mode for the remainder of the movie.
On my birthday Jan4th 1988 ( I think it's when it first aired.) when this aired it was part 5 or Transformers the movie with THE TOUCH music video it was the best way to wake up at 730 am to start my birthday
I wish that they just made Stop motion and life action for the whole season 5 and it being life action and that being only difference with the cast before returning
Why is Prime Soooooo Big?? His head is as big as a normal semi’s cab. He looks pretty sweet, but that truck transformed would be about the size of a 2 story house. 😂 🚛🏠🤖
This is PowerMaster Optimus Prime, whose body is also made up of his huge trailer in that form. The toy, while in his Powermaster mode, has a much bigger, detachable head than the regular Optimus that you put on over the normal Optimus head. Thats also why the head is so big
@@calamitytristanThat’s really cool! I haven’t seen/kept up with the Power Masters line, but Prime is essentially Ultra Magnus size in this continuity. This makes sense as a difference from the G1 Prime where he was only the cab. Thanks!
I was just looking this up the other day remembering it for me when I was a kid It really was kind of funny cause it was an early morning Saturday to watch it And the video you're talking about uploaded I think it was actually uploaded by that Kid actor
This was such a sad time for kids like me who wanted the series to continue in the US. It says something that Hasbro wasted money on the puppet instead of new episodes.
I think they used a live action model of Optimus in ROTF when Sam hops on Optimus to revive him, it looks so realistic, not to mention that when they revive him they cover him during the transition of him being revived, making me believe that this is when they switch out the model for the CGI model
I remember having a betamax tape with some of the episodes and the movie on it with the commercial bits. I think that might have been one of the earliest instances of Hasbro walking back Optimus' death with the kid asking when he'll return. There was also some broadcasts of the movie that would also edit in "Optimus Prime will return!" near the end of the credits to try and alleviate the unintended trauma caused by the movie
RW:just thinking of the live action Optimus Prime back in the 80s when its was on tv kinda reminds me of when in super sentai or power rangers used live action props and sequences in some scenes
i have absolute brainrot. The moment i heard the name "Jacky" my brain immediately went to that dumb Jackie's Box song doesn't help Mr. Freddy Fazbear ur ur ur ur ur is in the background too 😭
This was the only way I was able to watch the 1986 Transformers The Movie. It wasn't in theaters in my area. It wasn't available for VHS rental or purchase. I set our VCR to record it in the 5 part episodes they broke it up in, along with Tommy and Power Master Optimus. What sucked is that my local channel would often preempt the The Transformers broadcast with local high school sports. So, I was missing a couple episodes. Hence, I didn't get to see the movie in its entirety until a couple years later when I was able to find it on VHS. Kids today don't know the struggle!! 😄
They got the scale wrong, but it still looked really cool. I would totally watch a Transformers movie done with a mix of puppets and CG. Done properly, it would be cool as hell.
It's still weird how they built this life sized Optimus head, chest and hand to advetise the toys, but Powermaster Optimus still did not make it in the cartoon.
G.I.Joe did something similar not with a puppet but with a handful of episodes featuring new intros with Sgt. Slaughter to freshen their syndicated episodes.
Surprised that Bayverse designs are so popular. As far as mecha are concerned they've always been a 6 pack of ass. Beast Machines tier. I wouldn't have wanted to see this but more of the Bee Movie forward stuff
I want to say the Michael bay movies are not live fully action because its uses so much CGI so its more accurately a CGI enhanced or CGI assisted live action! Edit: Bumblebee and Frenzy (when they're the puppets) are live action!
it is really, really annoying to me that instead of expanding the definition of 'animation' outside of the first things brainless people think of.. they just expanded the definition of 'live action' so those people wouldn't have to think.
Does anyone know what happened to the Optimus Prime Head puppet and giant hand? Is it in a private collection somewhere? What about the Bumblebee puppet?
Now lets search if someone has the huge head in his collection,some rich youtuber which will claim that he doesn't have any money but managed to gets he's or her hand this live action prop!......They TRASHED IT you said?! Oh nooooo too bad! But still enjoyable to see that in the 5th season they had something like that,though i didn't also knew that had a 5th season with stuff like those! 😅

Incredible find here, and very excited for Webfishing Wednesday
G1 Transformers had a shelf life like the Game Boy. It was still on Cartoon Network when the Unicron Trilogy was playing, and probably after that too

Also the lack of practical effects in Transformers is a crime.
I'll be honest, my memory had these bumber segments being CGI.
In the 80s they had people who dressed up as different transformers who could show up for party's and stuff that were officially licensed
I only caught bits and pieces of "Season 5", most notably the Optimus Prime puppet. Practical Effects > CGI.

I set our VCR to record it in the 5 part episodes they broke it up in, along with Tommy and Power Master Optimus. What sucked is that my local channel would often preempt the The Transformers broadcast with local high school sports. So, I was missing a couple episodes. Hence, I didn't get to see the movie in its entirety until a couple years later when I was able to find it on VHS. Kids today don't know the struggle!! 😄
You can watch the Season 5 episodes in all their VCR recorded glory!!

They got the scale wrong, but it still looked really cool. I would totally watch a Transformers movie done with a mix of puppets and CG. Done properly, it would be cool as hell.
In tf1, megatron was a big statue in some scenes
Optimus Prime has an atmosphere so...
I actually knew this live action guy from rewatching g1 from vhs recordings
It's still weird how they built this life sized Optimus head, chest and hand to advetise the toys, but Powermaster Optimus still did not make it in the cartoon.
G.I.Joe did something similar not with a puppet but with a handful of episodes featuring new intros with Sgt. Slaughter to freshen their syndicated episodes.
I always have an idea to make a live-action Transformers tv show and title it as "Transformers More Than Meets The Eye"
Stranger things have been found, but I really, really hope we someday find out what happened to the giant puppet.
Si gue asi , ten suerte en tu contenido!!
Surprised that Bayverse designs are so popular. As far as mecha are concerned they've always been a 6 pack of ass. Beast Machines tier. I wouldn't have wanted to see this but more of the Bee Movie forward stuff
So cool!!
Man I was forgot about this one
I want to say the Michael bay movies are not live fully action because its uses so much CGI so its more accurately a CGI enhanced or CGI assisted live action!
Edit: Bumblebee and Frenzy (when they're the puppets) are live action!
it is really, really annoying to me that instead of expanding the definition of 'animation' outside of the first things brainless people think of.. they just expanded the definition of 'live action' so those people wouldn't have to think.
@@KairuHakubi Thank god theirs others like me!
Does anyone know what happened to the Optimus Prime Head puppet and giant hand? Is it in a private collection somewhere? What about the Bumblebee puppet?
G1= japanese design=superior, period
Coconut or Apple
Lol is that freddy fazbear in the background?
How is your day
they made an actual giant instead of a tiny prop scaled up in post madladd
I remember this
Now lets search if someone has the huge head in his collection,some rich youtuber which will claim that he doesn't have any money but managed to gets he's or her hand this live action prop!......They TRASHED IT you said?! Oh nooooo too bad! But still enjoyable to see that in the 5th season they had something like that,though i didn't also knew that had a 5th season with stuff like those! 😅
