Reactivate: Optimus and Soundwave: Villainous! 

"Soundwave: inferior. Optimus Prime: superior." "…are you flirting with me?"

This Optimus looks like the ideal update for a Classics Optimus/IDW Optimus

3:34 bro was channeling Thew Adams for a moment there lmao

Soundwave looks like he found out his sibling ate his chicken nuggets. Meanwhile prime looms like hes exterminating an entire species while listening to andrew hulshult

Optimus prime is just the dooms slayer as a transformer

I feel like the Starscream looking like a good guy thing is because based off the synosis for the game, the Quintessons took over Earth and in this post-apocalyptic world, the Autobots and Decepticons put aside their differences and team up with the humans to oppose the Quintessons

Soundwave's mouthplate to me makes it look like he's going :> and I can't unsee it.

I heard that Amazon has the Buzzworthy Optimus Prime now.

I feel like Transformers Reactivate so far asks the question "What if the Transformers were FPS protagonists" only to answer it quite well

At least this soundwave actually turned into something, unlike bb movie soundwave and wfc siege soundwave

I really love how soundwave's face looks like he is holding his breath very angry like a little child

Reactivate prime solves my biggest irrational peeve for any modern Optimus, rotating the waist for the transformation. The way they managed the legs was cool too, and he just is cool. All he needed is fingers to actually hold the matrix with, or sculpted open hands.

The Reactivate game will be killer, the sickest thing since FOC! This Optimus looks so sick, the post-apocalyptic look really makes him look like a more hardened survivor and leader. Soundwave looks a little thin to me but still cool. Can’t wait for the game!

This is definitely the frank miller(TDKR) of Optimus primes

4:22 I love these oversized ears Idk why but big ears on Batman and Optimus Prime just tickle my neurons in a weird way

Holy crap they rlly did make Soundwave and Optimus even more intimidating looking than ever. I adore that so much. :o

A lot of people also mention that battle damage paint in Optimus Prime´s front bumper. He´s ran over multiple enemies, and crushed them.

Never noticed how much of a chode the Earthrise Ion Blaster was.

I love your stuff, keep going

Why is my boy soundwave a dwarf now

give reactivate optimus ROTF optimus's hooks and he'll start making unicron pee the bed

This is such a cool set. Optimus is worth the price of admission alone, getting Soundwave on top of that is just gravy. I really hope we get a Megatron in this style, pair him up with Ironhide and that’d just be perfect.

I would've preferred that Optimus have long-nose truck as his alternate mode.

That optimus just looks so awesome I wouldn't even care if he was an actual brick because he just looks so cool

Now imagine Optimus in shattered glass colors

Optimus looks BADASS! Soundwave looks like mom told him its his turn on the Xbox

Thanks !

4:15 that was the perfect transition

6:12 i love how opinion can vary hard on people, for me its always kind of a bummer when prime doesnt have those in built guns

I got these two with some Birthday money in January and I friggin' love these two. I've never had a Soundwave prior to this and while it may not be one with the chest window function, I'd still say it's a solid start to owning the character. And Prime? I've not enjoyed a Prime like this since SS38 Bumblebee Movie Optimus

The Doomslayers soul if it was a robot that just sounds badass

Another Sunday, another blessing from Perspective End🙏🏼

this is how I imagine what these two would wish for if they won twisted metal (as clearly at least one of them stepped right out of it) Optimus: "My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, this war has gone on too long, taken so many lives. My wish is for an end to this war, my wish is for world peace. Calypso: "Granted. The war is over, as now there's no longer a planet to fight over, but don't worry. you get the last remaining piece all to yourself. Thank you for playing" For soundwave. Soundwave: "I am Soundwave. I am Decepticon. I serve Megatron as communications officer, without communications the Decepticon army will crumble, as such, my wish is to never falter, to be the perfect extension of Megatron's will, so that I may ensure the Decepticon cause may never fail" Calypso: "Granted. I upgraded your communications tech, you can manage communications 24/7 without any issue. Although, I had to clear up some space in your memory, nothing major, just your voice and most of your personality. Thank you for playing"

my heart burns for two packs because I usually only want one figure which is prime and don’t care about soundwave

I still prefer bumblebee studio series prime but this looks like a good Optimus too

I love this set, also I’m going to be at TFcon LA too! I’m excited to see you there!

Update the trailer has been removed off hasbros official channel on yt so it’s safe to say the game has been cancelled meaning the 4 figs will be a sad tale

4:18 *traumatic flashbacks to Transformers Skybound*

honestly this is like the one optimus design that justifies a nemesis repaint in my eyes it always looks ridiculous on the other molds because his silhouette is just so heroic that red and black can't make it look evil but here it makes perfect sense the guy already looks like if bay's version of prime ripped off even more faces and also loved to crush people under his wheels in alt mode so making it a bad guy definitely tracks

Ben Custom Toys gave a really cool paint job to this soundwave a month or so ago, making what at first looks like a disproportionate figure feel like an awesome, deliberately stylized piece straight out of Nick Roche's sketchbook. Really shows that there's a truly badass design somewhere in the toy. As for Prime, I too love how hench he looks. I don't even mind the super busy faceplace, and usually I prefer my primes to have more simplistic masks, lest they start looking like cartoonish beaks. I only wish his toes were a little less pointy, as that probably makes putting him in running poses a bit of a hussle. WFC was really good about giving most of its toys this nice wide and fat toes to balance on top of even when they had cheaped out on the ankle pivots. Otherwise, this is one of my favorite geewunnish Primes next to Siege and Volvo.

I’m happy these 2 came together since I have 2 shelves dedicated to Optimus and Soundwave Also I have a pretty cool theory for the game that also might explain why these 2 were put together I think Soundwave is going to be leading the Decepticons at the start and Megatron will show up later in the story, either he’s being controlled by the Quintessons and you have to fight him to put him back to normal, or he’s not even on earth and he’ll surprise the player when they least expect it, during a mission where it looks like the characters are going to lose (Also going to my first convention this year, I’ll be at TF Nation)

loved optimus, unfortunately the waist joint is a little loose but I can fix that pretty easily. the perfect prime design in my opinion

Hello perspective!!

Longlegswave is best Soundwave

I’ve been kind of surprised with the amount of work that’s been put into these Reactivate figures, especially since the game isn’t even out yet. For the Optimus Prime, he is definitely the largest voyager Optimus we’ve gotten in a while. And other than a few minor design details I have an issue with (such as I think his eyes should have been bigger), this figure and the SS 102 have easily become my top 2 favorite Hasbro-made Optimus figures that I own (Yes, I finally got the official SS 102; I had a gift card from Christmas and found some copies of him being sold around $50, so I took my chance). If I had to compare the two of them I’d say they’re kind of tied in terms of posability, with each of them having an aspect of articulation that the other lacks (ex: 102 having better feet movement and a technical ab-crunch while Reactivate has better shoulder movement with more range in how far back his legs can move). Reactivate has the overall better truck mode and leg transformation, with the 102 having the better upper body/truck cab transformation (the clearance issues on the Reactivate transformation are really not that fun). In terms of plastic quality, they’re both pretty good, though I do prefer the feel of the 102’s plastic a bit more. Reactivate ultimately has the better accessories (while I like the sword 102 comes with his hand gun really is a dinky little thing). And then I’m a little tied on their robot modes since I like both of them. Overall, getting this two pack and the SS 102 has been a great start to 2024 for me.

Yeah, I gotta get that Optimus. He’s so freaking cool

It would be funny if Prime is dad-like in game while looking like he can body you with one slap.

The 2 pack looks great! The only 2 nitpicks I have not mentioned here, perhaps because you don’t share my feelings about these VERY minor nitpicks, or I suppose one: this semi nitpick is that there’s a radar dish which I believe was supposed to be Laserbeak, doesn’t transform because of the size and price point, but it would have been nice. The real nitpick I have, which again, you might not share feelings of, but hear me out, the shin vents are on top of the truck bed, which is what I’ve seen almost every Optimus toy. These vents on the original Diaclone toy is supposed to be below the truck bed.

This Prime has what the ROTB version was lacking. Soundwave is also a cool reimagining. The Achilles heel of the big figures from the multi-packs to me are the faces, but otherwise are not as bad as sad cat Starscream or Chin-Mouthed Optimus from the Bay films. Also, I now have most of the currently released 86 Dinobots except for Slag.

I’ve pointed out that Soundwave is just the Cyberverse deluxe Soundwave but with more parts folding away and more closed together

This Optimus is AMAZING!!! Love this set!

I was hoping you'd be at TFCON! I'll see you there!

Glad to hear that you're heading to your first con! That does bring a good point though. Would we ever see something like a PerspectiveEnd T-shirt in the future?

That shoe quip was fucking funny. Love your reviews.

Have fun at TFCon perspective!! I went to my first one myself in October of last year. Spent $400 in an hour.....

NGL idk how I feel about Soundwave's design he also pretty much look like soundblaster. I wanted to go to my first TF con in L.A. but couldn't, I may end up going to the next one for November. I hope you have fun, meet other TF content creators. And get a chance to see Peter Cullen.

For some reason, seeing the guns having blast-effect compatability makes me STUPIDITY happy. It's like my version of "HEHEHE, SHINY THING GOOD" bit.

I love your videos

That Optimus looks fantastic, i hope we see more from that mold in the future.

I already liked the BB and Optimus from pics alone but now I NEED this Optimus, no question.

The fact these 2 sets are 2 years old is insane. Soundwave is probably my favourite of the two? It works for me so well, it’s become my display Soundwave. Optimus took so long to grow on me. It was so tight and some of the panels were so sharp out of the box it actually cut my finger during transformation. I just had to work the joints and now he’s really good, but he’s not my favourite Prime of the last few years like he is for most people. I do definitely prefer the Bee and Screamer pack for sure though.

I did fix my Optimus’s blaster peg. I cut off my spare Siege Prime’s axe storage peg and Gorilla Glued it onto the blaster’s peg and it’s now working a dream. If anyone tried this, let the glue dry for at least three days and BE CAREFUL when putting it in and taking it out of Prime’s hands

Optimus is dripped out of his mind

Dammit, both Perpective AND Jobby are going to be at TFCon! Now I have to try to figure out how to make this 5 hour road trip work

Think that Optimus might end up on the best of year list.

My definitive optimus will always be IDW, but this one is close.

Darn, that TFCon is one I'm not able to go too because it's too far, would definitely love to see you in person, I got to meet Bobby Skullface, Alec Willows (Tarantulas actor), and Ian James Corlett (Cheetor actor) at the last one I went. Oh and those figures are pretty cool too.

GOD DAMN IT, OF COURSE IT'S TFCON LA. Hope to see you there next tfcon

New review lets gooooo

For april fools you should make a whats the best matrix.

You've convinced me to get these. I was hesitant since Soundwave looked so small and scrawny, and the game hasn't come out, but this review has hyped me up. Also, I'd love to come to Tfcon and meet you and your brother, but I'm occupied with my studies. And I'm in a different continent entirely. Maybe when I eventually go to America

People are like “You hate bayverse prime cause he’s too tough and gruesome for you” but for me personally, I just think it’s never been done right. THIS is what I want out of a prime who would rip someone’s head off.

Hope you have fun at TFCon! Any plans to vlog it or make a video on the trip?

and i was already so excited for these, my wallet is beyond fucked

Mad Maximus Prime! Great video review. Soundwave is not him without his minions imho. Hope SS 86 Prime will be just as big as this guy Prime.

I love this set. I bought 2 of the Bee/Scream set by mistake, because I'm a moron, so now I'm down $65.

I really want both of these packs now You sell these so well

What I got from the Prime Robot mode portion is that he needs Alternity Convoy's head instead. (most angular 'optimus' head I can think of)

Ah yes, Murder-mus Prime and Skinny-wave. A duo that never fails to disappoint

Please for the love of God let this game be good, it's going the first time in a while I've actually gotten a chance to play a transformers game

I think everyone can agree that Optimus absorbed the majority of the budget and they added soundwave as a side character.

I love these figures I own them and they are awesome. (In my opinion)

One more thing I think bears mentioning are the perfect joint tolerances on these two. Everything is tight but moves nice and smoothly.

Thank you so much you were the tipping point for me to ordering this twin pack. And as a 50-year-old heterosexual man may I say prime is such a HUNK.❤😂. He is a beast I would love to get to know on a sunny day in the park on a spring day holding my hand as he's beating down every decepticon poking their heads out among the shrubs along the way. Love your channel love everything you do, as always your servant. Warren

Idea...what about an Optimus Prime based on the cgi model in the Beast Wars episodes where we see him in the Ark.

I would love them to make a Megatron and Hotrod 2 pack. They probably never will though.

They fooled me with this one

This is THE ULTIMATE G1 STYLE OPTIMUS, Hands Down. I really want to get this set just for Optimus alone.

Subtitles Changed hasbro to House br

Ok buying them now, thank you

3:20 at least this version of Optimus Prime not only look better than even the Bumblebee movie and Rise of the Beast Optimus Prime, but you can even mix him in with your action toys and he will actually look good with them

The Doomslayers soul in the form of a robot that is a badass thought( it’s how I view bay prime)

Like: GIVEN!!!

I wanted to make a comment on your last video along the lines of: Cue all the responses that said you missed some releases… I’m sad that these won’t be released in Australia.

Dude I can't plan for a convention in a week. Your preamble hurts me

A nemesis prime would be dope from this mold

What if It’s both? A hard core looking optimus who can kill You with just glaring at you but it’s a gentle giant dad bot

Wait, is that an optimus that can transform like in the show where he doesn't flip around his torso?

I dont need them, I definitely dont need them *I.NEED.THEM!!!*

I just ordered this guy on Amazon I have high hopes for this. Thought like I’ve said soundwave looks sooooo lanky
