Generation 2 Optimus Prime Review - What you DON'T KNOW about it 

i wasnt told by the thumbnail, until i realized this was a review of a vintage figure in which i quickly clicked.

The Diaclone era toys are my bread and butter. They're my favorite because of their build quality, incredible aesthetic, and play value. G1 Optimus is just the coolest toy ever made.

This is probably in my top 5 favorite Optimus figures. I love the weird shit going on in G2, this one adds a lot of fun play features to the original toy. The black trailer is awesome. Such a fun figure. Love G2.

If only hasbro put this much love into there figures these days. Man he is beautiful.

Optimus Prime G2 got all the rizz 🥶

You know, there is something appealing about die cast with chipped paint. Looks “lived-in”, like someone cared for it in the classic sense.

I had a G1 Optimus back in the 80s. I don't know how but I didn't know the chest window opened up until I saw it on an episode of QI a few years ago. That was over 2 decades and it was one of my favourite toys. No idea how I missed that.

Very nostalgia Diaclone of Battle Convoy, I have within 25 years ago. My fave toy as Mirage G1 too.

I still have my g2 Megatron and g2 Optimus from Christmas 93. They rock

Man the figure has really hold up

Optimus prime got that rizz to the max bro and he got optimus chan and that other girl can you tell me who she is I promise I will subscribe ok 👍

Wow, that space was for the diaclones?? Here I was , silly me, using that compartment to stash my weed.

I still love that we live in a world where Diaclone and Transformers co-exist. At least, I HOPE theyre still making toys for the reboot.

The hips are actually a weird locking ratchet. Metal on plastic. You need to pull the legs apart when transforming to prevent the plastic wearing out. That’s why his legs keep sliding back.

*Transformers G2 1992 Optimus Prime Commercial:* And when Optimus talks, (4:57) *" I A M O P T I M U S P R I M E ! "* The Decepticons will run for cover!

Omg the arms will fold into the truck mode so much easier if you flip down the windows first! Also they were always that colour

2:26 love this part lmao

When Optimus talk. 4:57 I AM OPTIMUS PRIME.

The knockoff black nemesis prime looks great next to a G1. And the quality’s not too bad.

I got this guy at a comic store a while ago and he’s awesome. Mine has most of the parts intact and all he’s missing is the hose and one of the missile launchers, his backpack thingy even still works

Love that the outriggers on the trailer have positions for towed, stationary, and deployed

The head can be modded to rotate in some releases, although they just glued it in place instead of a screw in this version. I remain unconvinced the backpack/soundbox actually attaches to optimus, as mine only seems capable of precariously balancing there, but renders the figure super top heavy for the delicate worn out leg joints.

This was my first prime as a kid, and didn’t get another one until about 25 years later. Man…they have come a long way.

Nice review! I just started collecting pieces and restoring a g2 prime & trailer, though I have the missing link prime it actually looks sweet!

I have the g1 version… I just realized that the new Star Wars micro fleet guys will fit in all the little cockpits and in roller!

Them dolls rocking low rise hard, yo! Always wanted the OP figure since a kid, still waiting on a good - decent 1, which isn't the price of an organ

The items on top of the cab where the head is are the air horns, not headlights.

I left a like and subscribed because I liked your video approach, I haven't seen a review of G2 Oprimus for years and because it's deserved. With 37.3k subs the last thing I'm doing is pitying you bud. Cheer up. lol

The fold out supports on the trailer are supposed to be pointed all the way forwards in trailer mode (when not attatched to the cab) like you showed. They're only intended to point outwards in base mode, to support the sides of the trailer.

4;57 It's a welder, not a fuel pump. It's for the robotic arm of the trailer to repair the Diaclone mech/Cybertronian warrior... which would require welding.

I was lucky. I got a G1 Optimus on clearance at Kay-Bee for $5 some time during the third season of the show. I was stunned at my luck because I could rarely afford Transformers bigger than Bumblebee because my allowance sucked. I still have it in the box even though I've played with it and lost many of the labels. I also cut out the tech specs but still have them.

I always thought it was weird that he's supposed to be in disguise but his name is huge on the side of the trailer

My second Optimus figure was a G1 Optimus. The first one that my parents bought me was the Power Masters Optimus. I think that was the name. It was based off the Master Force version of him.

Now wanna know what you think about the other G2 Optimus release, being the Laser Optimus Prime, it's one of my favorite toys ever. Good video

I had the G1 Optimus as a kid, and it came with the same rifle. My dad cut the handgrip off for me so that it could be pegged into the fist in line with the arm, rather than at that wonky angle.

was not expecting to see milk tea in this vid, so that shit threw me immediately lol

I have this old original Optimus prime. In fact I have over 200 Optimus Prime's in my collection.

12 minutes ago we really come far from transformers

2:11 is that a JOJO REFERENCE

The legs flipping back was something in all the versions of this transformation style for Optimus. I had an original G1 and it did the same after a while. The joint there was pretty cheaply made, unfortunately.

I did buy this release after I moved out for college. I didn't take my TF collection with me, and it was an easy way to get a hold of an Optimus Prime. I did modify it a bit by putting pen springs into the combat deck missile launcher, and cut off the restriction tab that limited the velocity of the launcher for Roller. I wasn't crazy on the name emblazoned on the side of the trailer, kinda defeats the concept of Robot's In Disguise. The soundbox disguised as a reefer was a rather clever design choice. Mixing of the classic and new faction logos really didn't help branding in my opinion. The quality isn't as good as the original G1 production run, but still was satisfactory

As a kid I wanted octimus prime to have the matrix of leadership included with the toy but they never did engineering for it

First mechazee reviews

4:00 it’s happening to me too and I’m 19 😢

When the ewok screams you had me dying lol

oh no, optional alien attack girl broke a bit! I'm sad now.

I still have my Gen2 Prime. The missile launcher in the trailer always bothered me. It's like they purposely forgot to put the springs in so it would be "safer" for the US market.

I had that when I was a kid. I wish I still had it

4:50

Very cool Optimum Prime model 😁👍

The 2 girls fighting in the background for Optimus pri- Wait bumblebee have one of them did they break up...

As someone who owned this as a kid, they did yellow over time.

NICE TRUCK

Did some G1 toys come with Diaclone human pilot figures? Somehow I had a few.

I don't LOVE G1 toys they way alot of older fans do, I like articulation I'm a basic bitch but, I can definitely appreciate a solid figure when I see one

7:56 AMONGUS

Bro got Isekai'd by just a Pen

Back when this figure was released I couldn't understand why they printed OPTIMUS on his trailer. Transformers were supposed to be in disguise, not advertising their names on their vehicle modes. It's a bit of a failure in that regard.

The 2 things that made this 😎 was 1 it was 2 toys in one 2 those toes bending It was so cool because most toys did not have any moving besides the hip arm knee

3:01 *"he looks submissive and breedable"* 💀

The explanation for the top of the front of the cab opening is at 7:15.

I got the reissue of G1 prime with SS38 prime in a pack, fav prime design is the RiD/car robots fire convoy

In '84 I was 12 years old and had one

So ahh, all these points are pretty much all known, I was hoping for something new I didn't know, so sad.

Optimus got that matrix of rizz

In 5:04, where did that sound bite come from?

Im old enough to know the legs on this mold would spring back even when it was brand new.

Huh, never knew the sound box could fit on his back in robot mode.

Yellow is the correct colour. I was there and I can remember.

Why is there milktea girl

I own the ko mp10 so I didn't get a trailer with it and when I was looking for a one on eBay I found the clear version for like 20 bucks and had no problem painting it but the spray paint I bought was supposed to be in between silver and metalic gun metal but it dryed an almost metallic black so I snagged a can of metallic red and bought some vinyl sticker letters and just did the g2 trailer and 3d printed the electronic box for the front! I had the g2 prime anyway growing up so the paint color problem turned out to be a happy accident!

I got this when it came out, I still have it well cap anyway, I think the windows where always yellow.

It's not a fuel pump. It's a welding gun.

Lmmfaa000 the chick inside! I own ths same Prime also bought him used has his weapons & haven't transformed him 1ce yet!

optimus has the rizzliest of rizz

For a figure this old it has great articulation,most of the robot forms from this time period are nothing more than a brick with arms,think about how horrible Motormaster was basically the only thing you could do was move the arms up and down(brick with arms)back in those days they put everything into the vehicle forms to get them perfectly accurate and the robot forms suffered greatly from it.

IIRC, can't Roller tow the trailer?

0:24 GYAAAAAAAAAAAT !!!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Howd you know about his glasses? 4:37

and what are the things we dont know about that toy ?

Optimus flirting with the anime girls made me cringe

JOJO INTROOO

It's not a fuel pump. It's a welder.

Those "shiny pieces" will lose chrome from all that touching and finger oil and acid transfer.

I already knew about daiclone

Supposedly you were supposed to put a cassette tape in his chest

7:14 for the answer to the thumbnail.

Did I miss something? What the hell was the thumb nail saying?

I see you have... "other figures" as well

I thought that G2 Optimus Prime was a tanker truck?

You should review more g1 and g2 stuff

He made a jojo reference i had to like it

What's the lady mbay prime figure?

What was the song in the first

Wait the thumbnail change

The windows were always timted

Who is that with the White socks

I actually have a G1 Pepsi Optimus Prime.

400 DOLLARS!!! CURSED FOREVAH
