    This is a transformer for the hot wheels collector. I collect both but I lean more on the transformers side.
    Something I'd be more interested in would be a transformers crossover figures (or two). Like an Autobot with a twin mill alt mode and maybe a Decepticon with a bone shaker alt mode. I'd be all over that.

    It serms to me, that the size of the Mattel Optimus Prime is simalar to the New Age David mold (their Version of Optimus Prime) and the engeneering from New Age is great.

Personally i wouldnt want another run because then its not an exclusive anymore this is the reason why I dont buy motu origins figures anymore, unless Prime has his trailor attached and its different packaging all together maybe. However can't wait to receive mine. Wish though he had his trailor. Anyway thanks for sharing ❤

    Awesome review rodimus! As a transformer fan AND a 64 scale collector, I would love to have it in my collection, but if I'm being honest, 80 dollars is too out there for me. I mean for just 10 bucks more I could get a magic square optimus prime with all the bells and whistles, including a trailer and all the other accessories a prime would need, minus the dicast which may seem like a loss, but in the end, you get a top of the line fully articulated, animation accurate optimus that is 1 64 scale, and to me that just sounds like a much better deal. I wish they could've made this for at least 35 dollars, but 80 bucks for a mini transformer that can't even pose that well? To me, that's thievery on mattels part.

    • @RodimusPrimal
      @RodimusPrimal  4 місяці тому

      I wonder if the licensing fees make it that expensive. Or if its just Mattel being greedy knowing that many 64 scale collectors are going to eat it up. The consensus among Transformers fans seems to be too pricey for what it is.

    I may be perfectly happy with my Legacy Core-Class G1 Optimus as my go to Micro Prime, but if I do end up seeing this in person, I'll might actually think about it. I also really like the Premium Display Packaging. Something I feel Hasbro should look into more if all is possible. After all I'm one of those who holds on to my Packaging for Putting Away, and even display inside when not playing. I just feel it's more efficient than just chucking the toys in a Box like we all used to do as Kids, and I just really enjoy Box-Art now as well. So, Congratulations Mattel!!!

    My brother likes to collect these smaller cars like hot wheels so I'm wondering if he's gonna get this. Personally I'm not into hot wheels but it looks so cool I can already imagine how heavy it must feel. I do wonder if the Hasbro x Mattel crossover is just gonna end there or have some more stuff coming up.

    I'm not sure I ever saw a bigger RIP-OFF than this thing. And I thought Diaclone Reboot, Macross, Storm Collectibles, NECA & Lego were massive rip-offs. But this thing is on a whole new level of BS pricing.

    I really like it and would love to have one... but for $80 ? If he had his trailer to go with it, then it would be a lot more justifyable for that price.
    Also, it would be cool to have Transformer miniatures that are 1:87 scale, to be compatible with model railway's HO Scale. Now, THAT would be a really useful crossover!

      Yeah I totally agree. It's priced WAY too high. Not to mention it was only sold through Mattel's website and sold out quickly. At least as far as I know.

    It’s cool. I mean nice for the tiny scale. But I’d have to have a crazy case of IBS (Impulse-Buy-Syndrome) to get into paying $80 for basically a Super (Ultra-Duper) Hotwheels edition.

    There's something to be said about the scale for sure. The only thing Go-Bots had over Transformers was the scale as every kid had a pile of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars which could be used with the Go-Bots and not the Transformers. As a kid, I think I would have preferred the smaller scale to go with my Hotwheels. Eventually Transformers were made at that scale and I have a few around here somewhere from the kids' time playing with them, I think they're from the Michael Bay movies.

    It's nice, but way to expensive for a Hot Wheels. When I heard about this coming out I was hoping it was going to be bigger, but it is very small and not worth 80 bucks..

    If its numbered its ok to pay 80$ if they do a secundaria run And do like the other casting yeah tiene probably Just 30$. You want to keep in your collection something that would go up in value, not down

    A lot of the collectors stuff in the market seems a bit ridiculous, but this looks durable and well done. Something that would hold it’s value better overtime, but wow 80 is a bit expensive.
