Damn, back in elementary, I used to watch this guy for hours straight, just loving how he reviewed these Transformers toys. I especially remember this video, which convinced me to constantly ask my dad for an OP figure, and I eventually got one. I'm not really into toy reviews now, but you, optibotimus, have my sub for entertaining me for most of my elementary days.
dafence that was me dude. I never dealt with the directions, would just look up a video and there it was. I spent a lot of money at the time when these toys were big.
I remember watching this when i was like 7 and yet this still remains one of the best optimus prime toys honestly straight nostalgia watching this ah all those memories
yeah ,the y rre so cool. posable fingers, amazing details, rubber wheels, and evne RUBBER TREADS! and the plastic/masterpiece design quality just makes it soooo cool
you should check out masterpiece hardhead maketoys ironwill and unique toys kalecgos ,those are the guys im talking about. and are my favorites. so cool
Thank god for this video. My kid got this for $1 at a garage sale. I suspect due to how much of a pain it is to transform. Getting the arms into place to do the nose was the god awful worst. Finally realized that Optimus’ head extended on the neck, and got it out of the way enough. I swear though. 100 x “I am Optimus Prime”
I hope Optibotomus knows his channel was our childhood. I remember watching him all through middle school watching him review toys I would never get. Ahh the good days
I love when figures are pretty much a jigsaw puzzle to transform because it usually further distances the vehicle mode from the robot mode; more realistic. This figure is well designed in my opinion.
This is probably the best Optimus toy for the Bayformers. The first one sucked, DOTM had cheap easily breakable plastic, and AOE has backpacks on all of them, plus they're scaled down to deluxe sized. ROFT Optimus is the way to go.
Well,unique toys made a AOE/TLK optimus prime that is soooo good looking that you might think it can't transform,but it does! It has changeable faces! It has the shield,sword! It's just the best transformers figure!!!!! It also has no backpack!! 25/10 the best transformers figure ever!!
@godzillafan unique toy made a good design for the AOE Optimus,but it's just for the knight Optimus .The best Optimus for me is the design of mpm4 Optimus prime and the KO of that design is ls03,this make the most screen accurate and outstanding Optimus that I'VE ever seen :3 I'm not a fan of knight look Optimus. The black apple is making a KO Optimus base on the mpm4 too, and it's way more and more screen accurate than the ls03,waiting for the release:3
This is the video I used to convince my dad to buy the most expensive Leader Class Transformer toy in the entire store. He would play the acoustic chords to Peace Of Mind by Boston which is what plays in the beginning here. As soon as he heard those chords he wanted the toy himself lol... Thanks, Paul.
kaleb prinze I agree. Some of them are ok though. But only a select few. I noticed its mostly the Deluxe and Voyager class figures that look good. I just bought for myself the deluxe Drift and high octane Bumblebee figure. These two looks pretty good. I'm also waiting for the Takara Voyager rusty Evasion Prime with the rusty look Prime had when Cade first found him in the movie. Thats another good one.
man it is a pitty how transformer nowerdays ar so simple and bad. they are al shellformers. In comparison with this version aoe looks like a japanese knock of/
Ahh the GOLDEN AGE of Transformers figures, Hasbro has really gone downhill since then. Even till this day, the ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime is still THE BEST live-action movie Optimus mould.
I find it absolutely hilarious that back in the day this was considered a difficult transformation. Obviously back in the day this was something completely new but the transformation on plenty of 3rd party, masterpiece and IMO even some WFC and SS figures are way more intense than this guy lol.
@@optibotimus I remember getting this guy for Christmas and my parents watching your review (as well as MANY others) trying for literally 3 hours to get him into truck mode lol.
I'm so glad this video is here! I found one of these at a Goodwill with all parts present for $3.99. I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought it lol
Can't thank you enough for this video. My son received this for his 5th b-day from his favorite uncle, the coolest toy ever! We couldn't figure out how to transform it to save our lives! My son has been so patient with us, too! Your video has made us all much happier and it's much appreciated. Thanks again!
8 years later and this is still the best movie Optimus Prime figure we've ever gotten from Hasbro/Takara. I got it as a gift in 2009, and I still have it in pretty much perfect condition. Words can't describe how much I love this thing.
This masterpiece action figure is just not available anymore... Im so sad that i didnt get the chance to buy it... My oldest toy i have is a takara tomy thomas set from 2006-2008, a buzz lightyear tomy full sized figure from 2010 Then the only transformer toy i have is the Leader Class Sentinel Prime from 2011... I've lost its swords and shield due to multiple shiftings but at least the core toy is intact and still in better than average condition Its a shame hasbro has dropped the level of detail and complexity in current toys... i loved fiddling with my sentinel for like 4+ hours to just transform it... it was a completely different experience
Ugh, thank God you left this video up here. I had to transform this thing to put it into storage and couldn't remember for the life of me how to get the chest to lock into the arms in vehicle mode. You're a lifesaver!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I loved the video, and you explained it so well. I had a bit trouble, but because I wasn’t taking my time . My uncle had one put up, and he gifted me it for my birthday! I decided to take it out , and transform it ! It looks so well on my Tv stand , I LOVE IT. if you ever see this , THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH.
11 years later and I’m coming back to this video to remember how to transform this guy 😂 the head always confuses me but everything else I’ve understood for a long time
This is the exact one I had, I also had bumblebee, ratchet and starscream. My brother had Ironhide and two decepticon jets green and white idk their name. As I’ve grown up ofc I lost them and now I am looking to buy them again on the internet but it’s hard to find them so if you have seen any for sale reply to this comment please
I just want to thank you Optibotimus for this tutorial. I decided to get Optimus today and I couldn't have transformed this guy without this video. You were instrumental in helping me You did very well trying to point out where all the tabs and stuff went and should anyone have any questions regarding the transformation of Optimus, this is the video they should be directed to. Thank you very much Optibotimus.
I remember watching this video when I was 7 - 8 yrs old (ish?). I've probably thinking whenever I say, "I wish I have this figure for myself." That I am 12 years old now, I'm feeling nostalgic!
I'm so glad I kept this review in my Favorites! I still cannot transform this guy on my own without going along with this video and pausing, doing a step, and pausing, etc. until it's done. My collection was stolen recently, but luckily my Jetwing Prime was spared. I wanted to transform him to go with my UFO Annular trailer and now they look great together. Thanks for doing these, Optibotimus!
DUDE so happy you posted this. Was a goodwill and saw this monster on a rack and it looked like some kind of contorted corpse of a transformer. I examined it and didn't see any missing or broken parts and bought it for 5 bucks (I think everyone thought it was broken). Took it home, watched your video and now I have a sweet as transformer!
I remember asking for this optimus prime toy for ages when it came out. On my 7th birthday my mum said she got it for me. I opened it up and it was the Megatron version...
@@thelowestoflow5486 i think so. It was large, basically the 2nd version of this one I believe. The optimus version would glow green I remember. They had sound effects and everything
I need to get this figure. It's by far the best Optimus Prime figure ever. Planning on getting the revenge voyager from AOE that I believe it's only made in Japan so I better grab that too.
The "Revenge Optimus Prime" is just the old Voyager "Battle Blade Optimus Prime" with the nicer & darker paint scheme of Takara's DotM "Striker Optimus Prime". Which adds up to awesomeness. Just know that the Voyager mold DOES have a few transformation differences from the Leader (biggest example: the truck cab nose isn't a fold-away shell, it simply slides up the arms).
I really had this Optimus Prime action figure as a kid. Back then it was really fun transforming the robot to it's vehicle mode and vice- versa. Sad that my action figure is now gone for many years LMAO
I bought this toy for my son last christmas. I had to view this Video then and had to do so this morning for my son. He's a very happy camper again!!!!
I used to have this but I lost it then I got the last knight leader class version which made up for it. still the revenge of the fallen one is friggin badass
I remember getting this figure way back for christmas and trying to transform it without instructions. Long story short it was left as a jumbled mess in my closet for years until I eventually found this video and was able to finally transform it into truck mode. Good times.
I just got this guy at a local retro toy store called the Kool shop for $20 what a deal and I wanted to thank you for your detailed explanation of his transformation as I don't have the instructions and was having difficulty with getting the cab to go together but after watching you I got it instantly thank you optibotamus
john fulbright I beat ya. I just got this guy from Salvation Army for .99 cents. Holy crap lol. I was not sure what I had till I got it home. Everything works and I do not know how but nothing was broken.
I heard how hard and complicated this guy is to transform. And now that I'm seeing it, it's not that bad at all. Like seriously it's pretty straightforward. To me at least. everybody is different
FireFuture 3177 most of the people complaining, are the parents who bought this for their children. They claim it’s too hard for their children to transform. however when I was 9 And got this figure, I had no trouble transforming it. I even transformed my brothers leader class megatron after.
optibotimus Hey Optibotimus do you know a good place to get Leader class figures like this for (sorta) cheap? Ebay seems to be my best bet but I don't know if I should trust people to actually deliver the figure or a brick 😂 much love man!
Thanks for this. I had this guy when I was younger, but I lost, and it and this is the one transformer that I could never transform, and it haunted me for years even the mpm prime which i can transform didn't help. I just got this again in the mail and finally with this video help I conquered my childhood. Thanks again.
Oh my fucking GOD. I sure hope this thing gets easier to transform with practice because transforming mine to truck mode out of the box for the first time was EXCRUCIATINGLY frustrating and difficult. I didn't have this nearly much trouble with Masterpiece Megatron. Jesus Christ, I have never wanted to throw a toy against a fucking wall so much in my entire life.
edwardelric880 I understand. The Instructions we're a bit (but not too much) vague, and it took a while for me to figure it out. But dude, it's not that bad. Hell I even snapped my fingers more transforming the Giant Starscream from Transformers Cybertron, and I still have both the Figures. In fact after I watched the video, I noticed the one step I was missing. I forgot to put Optimus's Chest pieces into the Grooves in his arms. But come on who would've saw that without watching the review. From then on it's been smooth sailing. the only other reason I could see having trouble transforming him is that you may be a bit too impatient.
EK OddLink You're right; now that I've had some practice he really isn't that bad, at all. That 1st transformation frustrated me to such a degree that I came on here and posted an obscenity-laden rant. The part that got me was getting the arms to stay tabbed together while you bring the chest pieces down into them to form the front window section of the cab.
At least the toy was complicated not the new shity instant 3 step changers which are SHIT idk why hasbro made them and the new toys are too simple you just have to move the front and the legs and put the fake chest and thats it
I remembered having this as a little kid. Unfortunately, he was very loose and I could never been able to transform him correctly, and I didn’t even have the instructions! I donated it at good will
17:15 I was having problems getting the red section in, until I watch this review, AGAIN!. Amazing how 1 little slot and peg helps putting the truck together. Tried putting it together AFTER connecting the flaps together. :) you are the greatest.
"I am Optimus Prime." "I am Optimus Prime." "I am Optimus Prime." You know, I'm starting to think this guy isn't Megatron.
Lol
Zzzzzzz
I think he said his name is bumblebee.
he is acting like megatron
I’m starting to think that this guy is Optimus prime

So true
How about Buster Prime :pThat figure is amazing
I'm getting buster prime zim exer
zim exer
Buster Prime is the same figure, only with some modifications.
areasevenpro i know but it still looks amazing :p
Ah yes, the old days of transformable CGI toys. When they were actually challenging to transform.
and looked more movie acurate then the newer ones (tf4 optimus prime)
Damn, I hope that the TF5 toyline is gonna be more complex than the new crappy ones
TransDude04 Hoping to god.
I'm okay if they simplify the ones for the kids shows, but I hope that they make the ones for TF5 like the ones for TF2. Challenging but look great.
Ryu L. Some for the little ones and some for the collectors ( Fast Action Battlers and Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, etc)
Im amazed at the stupidity i had as a kid to get rid of this masterpiece. This is the best Optimus Prime toy ever made!
Same… sadness
I had all the autobots. Idek where they are now I’m 25 lol
I remember watching this when i was like 7 and yet this still remains one of the best optimus prime toys honestly straight nostalgia watching this ah all those memories

The best Christmas gift I ever had as a kid

Thank you for saying it extends
1$ for this guy? Man the seller must've hated themselves or someone else in their family
Back in the days, this old transformers are really challenging to transform compared to today
Fax
Oh the amount of times I caught my finger trying to transform this as a kid. Kids of this generation will never know the pain
I hope Optibotomus knows his channel was our childhood. I remember watching him all through middle school watching him review toys I would never get. Ahh the good days

I love when figures are pretty much a jigsaw puzzle to transform because it usually further distances the vehicle mode from the robot mode; more realistic. This figure is well designed in my opinion.
Optibotimus: *Discusses the toy
Comments: THIS MAN IS MY *CHILDHOOD!*
frrrrrrr
This is probably the best Optimus toy for the Bayformers. The first one sucked, DOTM had cheap easily breakable plastic, and AOE has backpacks on all of them, plus they're scaled down to deluxe sized. ROFT Optimus is the way to go.
Exactly what I say...
Well,unique toys made a AOE/TLK optimus prime that is soooo good looking that you might think it can't transform,but it does!
It has changeable faces!
It has the shield,sword!
It's just the best transformers figure!!!!!
It also has no backpack!!
25/10 the best transformers figure ever!!
@godzillafan unique toy made a good design for the AOE Optimus,but it's just for the knight Optimus .The best Optimus for me is the design of mpm4 Optimus prime and the KO of that design is ls03,this make the most screen accurate and outstanding Optimus that I'VE ever seen :3 I'm not a fan of knight look Optimus.

But listen bayverse Optimus prime is a killer
I’m now 15 and found this old toy and resorted to this video to build it, while I was building it it brought back so many good memories.
Bro me to I am 15 years old I have the same one but it’s broken missing parts everything bro I wish I had him again well I do but different one
Chirstmas 2009. What an amazing gift this was. I'm so happy i kept it after all these years
Yip I’ve still got mine and Megatron shit times flys

Man, the memories I have watching this years later. Just thank you for helping mold my childhood.
You can angle the grey plastic at the tops of the chest as they are attached to ball joints. It will give a more movie-accurate look to Optimus.
Revenge of the Fallen leader class Optimus Prime is the best toy ever in the Revenge of the Fallen toyline.
i wish this is still in stores man i missed this masterpiece
Jesus. 15 years ago. I feel old. I was watching these as they were being uploaded when I was a kid
Optibotimus: **transforms head**
Optimus Prime: "I am Optimus Prime."
Optibotimus: "He's Optimus Prime."
How I wish the AOE Leader Prime was made this way.... It would've been a much better figure..
I agree.

This is still the greatest non mpm optimus prime we have ever had

Firstly it's a truck and secondly lol
Cab not car
welp he became a real car now
Poor optimus btw that happened to my bumblebee toy ;-;
I got my Prime today, and boy, if it wasnt for this video, pretty sure my Leader Class figure would end up as a a statue
Thanks for watching!

I need to get this figure. It's by far the best Optimus Prime figure ever. Planning on getting the revenge voyager from AOE that I believe it's only made in Japan so I better grab that too.
The "Revenge Optimus Prime" is just the old Voyager "Battle Blade Optimus Prime" with the nicer & darker paint scheme of Takara's DotM "Striker Optimus Prime". Which adds up to awesomeness. Just know that the Voyager mold DOES have a few transformation differences from the Leader (biggest example: the truck cab nose isn't a fold-away shell, it simply slides up the arms).

This was THE video I used to help me transform my ROTF Leader Class Prime and even now it’s still incredible.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
wow, i love this figure.
Flimsy construction. Mine snapped of n half while transforming. The two thin pegs below the torso are tight AF it won't swivel so it broke.
Bro I remembered I watched this when I was very young I was 7 now I'm 15
Cant believe i still have this figure after 7 years in nearly mint condition as a kid one of my favorite toys ever
this will always be my favorite transformers toy, it was my first.😊
Thank you I've now finally transformed it. It's taken me 4 years thank you so much. :)
Transformers 2 were the best figures of transformer toys, the worst are the transformers 4 ones, kinada decipointing
So true ,the new ones suck transformers 1,2 and 3 had way better quality and harder transformations
Gamma Supreme Yep
+The Angry Pepper but there so expensive to get nowadays. :(
Gamma Supreme Ye, But some are actually close to the price before! :)
Gamma Supreme Why not subscribe and I sub back? (not scam)
I really had this Optimus Prime action figure as a kid. Back then it was really fun transforming the robot to it's vehicle mode and vice- versa. Sad that my action figure is now gone for many years LMAO
12:50 when you can still say them without getting demonetized
damn that intro, the nostalgia is real
just picked one up...dude its AWESOME!!!
Wow here i am 7 years later this was a huge hit of nostalgia being 9 watching these videos thinking “wow i wish i had that transformer”
Who’s watching in 2020?!
I miss those days too much
By the way I just ordered one and I’m happy
I bought this toy for my son last christmas. I had to view this Video then and had to do so this morning for my son. He's a very happy camper again!!!!
I never had a chance to buy this action figure
Same, I always wanted to have it 😞
I used to have this but I lost it then I got the last knight leader class version which made up for it. still the revenge of the fallen one is friggin badass
At 3:21 it looks like a truck X-wing from star wars.
XD
Transformers: Intergalactic confirmed for the year 4020.
This is childhood memories i remember i bought him at k=mart when i was little man it was a pain to transform
Glad it's a happy memory
if optimus prime will die in the last knight,amazon prim will replace him
I remember getting this figure way back for christmas and trying to transform it without instructions. Long story short it was left as a jumbled mess in my closet for years until I eventually found this video and was able to finally transform it into truck mode. Good times.
man you are lucky to have him but he is too expensive for me.

Sat for hrs watching this as a kid to transform him

I remember getting that back when it came out
***** Wow...why didn't you get it sooner? That's pretty much THE most awesome one among the Deluxe scale Movie Bumblebees... ^_^

I heard how hard and complicated this guy is to transform. And now that I'm seeing it, it's not that bad at all. Like seriously it's pretty straightforward. To me at least. everybody is different
FireFuture 3177 most of the people complaining, are the parents who bought this for their children. They claim it’s too hard for their children to transform. however when I was 9 And got this figure, I had no trouble transforming it. I even transformed my brothers leader class megatron after.
Good job man I'm a big fan of your videos!!!
Ian Tomko Thanks for watching!
***** i am a big fan but i never comment but this figure is great
optibotimus Hey Optibotimus do you know a good place to get Leader class figures like this for (sorta) cheap? Ebay seems to be my best bet but I don't know if I should trust people to actually deliver the figure or a brick 😂 much love man!
Thanks for this. I had this guy when I was younger, but I lost, and it and this is the one transformer that I could never transform, and it haunted me for years even the mpm prime which i can transform didn't help. I just got this again in the mail and finally with this video help I conquered my childhood. Thanks again.
Oh my fucking GOD. I sure hope this thing gets easier to transform with practice because transforming mine to truck mode out of the box for the first time was EXCRUCIATINGLY frustrating and difficult. I didn't have this nearly much trouble with Masterpiece Megatron. Jesus Christ, I have never wanted to throw a toy against a fucking wall so much in my entire life.
edwardelric880 I understand. The Instructions we're a bit (but not too much) vague, and it took a while for me to figure it out. But dude, it's not that bad. Hell I even snapped my fingers more transforming the Giant Starscream from Transformers Cybertron, and I still have both the Figures. In fact after I watched the video, I noticed the one step I was missing. I forgot to put Optimus's Chest pieces into the Grooves in his arms. But come on who would've saw that without watching the review. From then on it's been smooth sailing. the only other reason I could see having trouble transforming him is that you may be a bit too impatient.
EK OddLink You're right; now that I've had some practice he really isn't that bad, at all. That 1st transformation frustrated me to such a degree that I came on here and posted an obscenity-laden rant. The part that got me was getting the arms to stay tabbed together while you bring the chest pieces down into them to form the front window section of the cab.
At least the toy was complicated not the new shity instant 3 step changers which are SHIT idk why hasbro made them and the new toys are too simple you just have to move the front and the legs and put the fake chest and thats it
I remembered having this as a little kid. Unfortunately, he was very loose and I could never been able to transform him correctly, and I didn’t even have the instructions! I donated it at good will
In my opinion he is really easy to transform
i agree i dont know why people have ap roblem with him
If you
Consider it easy then YOU ARE A GOD
17:15 I was having problems getting the red section in, until I watch this review, AGAIN!. Amazing how 1 little slot and peg helps putting the truck together. Tried putting it together AFTER connecting the flaps together. :) you are the greatest.
