Is This Really The ULTIMATE Optimus Prime |  

Even though these types of figures aren't very accurate I still love the old ones simply because they're so weird yet so awesome

I love how Optimus says his name so calmly after blasting his opponent with the Cybertronian equivalent of lead. It's so Bay.

This figure is so nostalgic to me, I remember getting it for Christmas as a kid and I used it more than my rotf leader prime

Wow, I didn’t realize my favorite toy growing up had such an effect on society to where someone put it in Cyberpunk concept art.

I feel like somehow EVERYBODY in the community was somehow drawn to this figure again because for the past week I kept looking up this figure and just bought one and this review comes out the day before its delivered like WHAT!?!?!?

Years after getting this guy, I discovered that you can rotate his feet to point more outward in the exo-suit, rather than pointing straight forward. It was a very stage bit of articulation to discover, and that about sums up this toy's feeling.

Oh my god this whole video was just filled with nostalgia for me. As a kid, this thing was basically my definitive Optimus figure

I remember getting this as a present I think around Christmas, and yeah, this is really nostalgic for me! I love this figures playability, and remembered how some times I would just play with optimus instead of both him and the trailer. Great figure, but the shoulder flaps were always a bit fragile.

I actually used to have this exact same prime as a kid! Would play with it all the time! Seeing this again is nostalgic ass hell. Thank you.

I got this figure for christmas and still have it to this day. and I would do ANYTHING to have a third party version of this with MP level engineering.

This was a childhood toy of mine and the amount of nostalgia I got from you making those sounds from the mech tech weapon was beautiful. Chef's kiss

Wait can't the "destroy everything in that general direction" cannon fold onto his back in combined robot mode?

remember i had this then it broke and i lost every piece :(

I just love how built different old toys were before now.

I got that for Christmas when I was 7. Still at the very top of my shelf to this day

This design is soo overkill, I love it.

This is one of my favorite in my collection, I am a collector who does not play much with my toys, mostly post them and set them on the shelf. The look of this toy was enough for me to be interested understanding its cons, you can hang this on the ceiling like its flying with a big canon, and looks like an Optimus Prime Gundam, I wish they would make a redesign of this that fixes all or most of its cons, but the way it is now, I am more than satisfied with it.

I want one for my old toy collection, I need it

I remember when I got a transformer's revenge to the fallen studio series optimus. The little thing in his arm that's used to transform it into truck mode. The little tab went forward, and his arm went backward. As hard as I could, I tried to put the arm back, and it snapped off pain.

You got a good deal, that's what I paid for mine when I bought it at retail years ago. It's a janky figure but it's got that weird coolness about it... possibly just because it's Optimus with a trailer once again! And yes, I think that's the best description I've ever heard of that gun of his! LOL!

Optimus Prime and his trailer will always be awesome. I love the 2007 truck design. So glad we have gotten so many cool Optimus Primes lately.

I think this could actually be a good mold if they found a way to have the wheel wells on the legs and fix the chest portions

I had this when I was younger and have a lot of great memories of the figure

I have had this since it came out. My side doors have broken off but I still have them (it broke at the clear plastic window)

An updated version of this is what I was hoping from the Studio Series one. I'm still hoping for something similar in the future - without the mega buster rifle.

Wow I never seen broken animation for transformation instructions before.

I used to love this toy when I was younger then the arm for the combined mode snapped but it’s still good on its own and great video

I’m not an adult collector but all I know is I’ve been collecting transformers for nine years so I want this

as a kid i had this toy, i lost the optimus but still had a trailer, little kid me learned that it connects perfectly in vehicle form with the transformers prime leader class optimus that comes with the unfolding gun

I got this figure when it first came out in Christmas as a kid and I still have it!

I remember my brother getting this for his birthday back when the toy was new, and how we used to use it along with our other transformers toys, I especially used his hands sliding in problem as an excuse to make em arm blasters, but I think he still displays it in his room from time to time so I'm just looking at this review with a lot of nostalgia

I remember playing with this as a kid ahh the memories

This figure was my absolute childhood I could never transform him (he was in bot mode) and loved that giant mech tech gun I just pressed the buttons to watch it light up not even bothering to plug it into his hands wish I wasn’t so destructive with my toys or he’d actually still be here lol

This is so nostalgic I used to have this when I was a kid

Damn, I miss this toy. Got it as a Christmas present from my dad

The trend I see with toys are they either focus on the playability and articulation or just go all out and give it a presence even if its basically a statue at that point. You can see this with something like Sentai mecha toyline where the mechas are ridiculous and big but they are just glorified bricks. And then there are those who try to cater to every aspect and did it like Studio 01 Cell which is just, insane

This will always be the "nice" optimus in my collection since I got him for $69

This was my main Christmas gift in 2012 and I absolutely loved it And then in common fashion at the time, my brother up and broke it

My had one of the knees snap GPS style. I wasn't being rough with it, it just gave one day without warning. 1:28 3mil clips were super underrated.

My brother had this toy when we were younger. It's a fun toy and looks cool. Bit of a warning though, I don't remember how but one of the pegs on Prime's giant face gun for the hands broke so be careful with that just in case

God I wanted this guy so much as a kid but never was able to :(

I was lucky enough to grow up with this guy, god I miss him…

I had that optimus when i was a kid, and i loved it, but one day, a guy came to our house to do some repairs and stole it. It was the saddest day in my life.

I had this, I loved it.

I used to have this one when I was a kid brings back some memories

I got this figure for my birthday when I was very little, I watch this video for nostalgia purposes and also to see what it was completely like, right now it doesn’t have a lot of pieces due to the test of time so I lost a bit of pieces, I musta been way too young for this toy lol, but I love it regardless cuz of the trailer, that was what had me sold for the toy, the trailer, the fact it transformed into a mech suit for Optimus blew my lil child mind and I loved it regardless of its issues, mainly cuz I didn’t care much, but I still love it cuz of the Mech suit gimmick.

I used to have one of these for the longest time nice to finally see it with some recognition

I miss that version of him 😢

Bro i had this as a kid. It was so cool

This is making me tear up this optimus was the first transformers toy i ever got i love it i wish i still have it

This was my childhood movieverse prime i have so much nostalgia for him

Had this when it came out, just got rid of it a couple months ago. This video is bringing back a lot of memories.

I believe that the concept was to mimic the animated shows by giving him a SUPER MODE like he did in the unicron trilogy.

This is a major nostalgia trip for me

"..whatever the hell this is.." That's a pretty, pretty butterfly. Once you see it, you can't unsee.

Ultimate Optimus Prime weapon is just a predecessor to the Age of Extinction Lockdown toy.

i got this like 99% complete out of a bin bag lol. its objectively not the best but personally im a huge fan of the combined look and the like core optimus's transformation

I remember getting this guy for Christmas when I was a kid

i bought this figure from a flea market like years back, and didn't know someone had super glued the knees, so the knees don't move. it's a cool figure tho i loved it

Found one at a local con a few years ago, I end up picking up two of them for 50 US because they where both broken and one was missing parts. However, I was able to take the missing parts from one and form a full finished on that I have displayed with my collection of the movie line figures.

I like this figure becuase it just unashamedly goes all out and screams “I am a cool toy”.

i saw this in walmart when i was like 8 years old back around 2011/12. I remember having to settle for the mini transformers prime optimus prime cuz it was cheaper. You can find this guy for like 200-500 dollars. For as old as this guy is that aint bad imo

that cannon looks like it wears a trucker hat :D

ah yes, the "I'm a Beautiful Butterfly" Optimus Prime

I wanted this as a kid, but me being 4 and my parents being poor, I never got it.

I love this toy. My two favorite old movie toys are this and the ROTF supreme Devastator. Both incredibly inaccurate, but super fun toys that are just meant to be cool and BIG. And boy do they succeed at being just that.

I have this on my collection display and it's awesome idc if its not "movie accurate" this is the leader size i miss and i like how badass it looks 🔥

I remember seeing this back in the day I was 10 and I'm 22 now and I still want one

This Guy was my main Optimus when I was a kid, and then he broke a couple years ago, so that was sad, but I ended up getting SS 44 DOTM Optimus and it was a pretty solid figure, and then I decided to custom paint him into Nemesis prime... ah well, At Least I'm getting SS-05 now

I had this. Lost the trailer, smoke stacks broke off, and now I don’t know where he is. Wish I took better care of my transformers but at least I made good memories with them

Oooo I was able to get the Lunar New Year deco at TFCON Toronto auction 😻

I just got this guy today from my brothers dad (we have different dads) and bro I love it so much! Although one arm won’t tab in but it doesn’t make a difference and I’m not gonna mess with it as I don’t want it to break

I remember having this! I would always stick a Sonic plushie into it instead of Optimus lmao.

the mec-tech gun just gives me age of extinction lockdown vibes

Yo that gun turns him into a kinda kamekamehahh thing 😂

I was almost going to get this Ultimate Optimus but glad I held off and got the Takara Leader Jetwing Optimus instead, which has definitely been a better figure

This was my favorite figure as a kid and it sucks because now I’m missing parts of it like part of the back and the side panels of the truck and I don’t have the trailer all I have is the gun

So I have this figure but the hinge for the side of the truck (not the clear plastic) broke and is now impossible to fix, it happened to a previous one I had also

Got this one for Christmas and I can confirm that the trailer is flimsy and poorly toleranced the connections on the panels are scary tight and the air conditioner/front/wing part snapped off after one transformation due to the amount of stress and force needed. Love the toy still, he will always have a fond place in my heart

I love how the back back on this optimus transform it’s amazin. It would be better if battle blades optimus back pack can transform like this optimus back pack then the battle blade optimus it will definitely be the beast Optimus Prime toy ever

i had this as a kid and i loved it

This was the closest we got to buff prime from end of revenge of the fallen and I love him I want to get another to customize it's on my custom toy bucket list

Got one from a marketplace. Is missing a lot of pieces but man is it still impressive

Say what you will about this guy, but he has a special place in my heart. I must've been about five or six when i got this guy for my birthday, and i loved him to death. I vividly remember bringing him into to school for show-and-tell, and telling all of my classmates about him. He unfortunately broke down over time, and was eventually thrown out. This review was an absolute nostalgia injection to the brain. Thank you.

this figure was the ultimate flex when i was a kid

I would love to see a legacy version of this guy

3:01 You honestly don't need to do that first lol. I usually do that the last. The side panels is the one you open first so you can start exploding it for robot mode.

I mean, give it a better core bot along with additional articulation for both the previously mentioned core bot and trailer exosuit, and it could be a dope-ass toy that holds up even better today!

That powersuit was in the film.its what he was wearing when he flew around and got stuck in the cables

I have the year of the dragon edition and he's just massive also I didn't know that the I think they are called horns, could come down for a stand thing for the trailer

4:45 lol wtf is he doing here. That's a really deep cut that only us Transformers fans would get.

I remember not liking the gun, but liking the facemask thing, so I took the gun off and shaved off the screw posts.

I have this guy just sitting on my shelf in truck mode

always wanted one of these guys. Never had the cash for it.

I remember getting mine for somewhere around 20 usd without the mech-tech cannon. The kid wanted one quarter for it but my dad said no lol Since I was a lil ass kid at the time, I lost pretty much all of the trailer panels that make up the wings so my Prime doesn’t command as much of a presence anymore and the hips on Prime himself are so loose that he can’t even stand and instead flops either way.

I got this on my 11th birthday and it made me so frustrated! I think it was the tight joints on the trailer armor.

This was colloquially known as "Mariposa Prime" in the Philippines. Mariposa is the largest butterfly native to our country.

I had this guy with the Jet fire version.

I really have to say that i like "Butterfly Prime" quite a lot! Or...Dragonfly Prime?

I used to have this toy as a kid
