Siege Leader GALAXY UPGRADE OPTIMUS PRIME: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff 

Kinda funny how usually Ultra Magnus is a repaint/retool of Optimus Prime, but twice now, Optimus is a repaint/retool of Magnus.

No truck flight mode? Our worlds are in danger.

Emgo: He's a bit on the chunky side. Moto Moto: Hello, Optimus Prime

When you realize all the new and expensive figures coming out this year: "Our worlds are in danger"

This is MY kind of nostalgia! I grew up with Cybertron!!!

I think Cybertron Prime deserves a "precious". But it's great this line is redoing characters from Japanese series that aren't G1 related.

"WHAT?! PARTSFORM-" "SHHHHHHHH". Lol! Cracks me up each time!

If they make more cybertron remakes I really would like either a vector prime or Leo breaker

Prime: Hey Sideswipe Sideswipe: Oh hey Prime Stares into his spark

The only thing missing is... Leobreaker (arm mode) from the Transformers Cybertron series.👍😉

know what the very best thing about this figure is? he scales absolutely perfectly with the original cybertron line figures, much more so than the overly large optimus from that line. he especially fits well with the cybertron planet leaders, to the point of almost perfect on-screen accuracy, which makes me very happy and i can display them together.

Of course the Transformers do not have the power to break the space time continuum and exist in two places at once, but with the Matrix of Leadership at his disposal, Optimus Prime has entered The Twilight Zone. XD

GALAXY CONVOY!!! TRANSA-FOOOOOOOOORM!!!! SUPA MODO!!!

Thanks to Transformers Earth Wars, I now know what the symbols on the backgrounds in the packages for Siege are! They're Military Insignias for the characters, most likely meaning they're ranks and/or jobs

It's too bad the matrix of leadership didn't come with it

I initially was hesitant to get this because I already have PotP Optimus and Im really not on board to getting multiple versions of the same character. But with this one looking different enough, being a Cybertron throwback, and being a perfect counterpart to Siege Magnus, I so want this figure. May I also say how utterly sick and tired I am of seeing comments on how this fig sucks and to just get the OG Cybertron toy?

Anyone else waiting for the “OUR WORLDS ARE IN DANGER” comments?

While watching the video. In my head the Cybertron theme was playing, my heart feels, my childhood has returned.

I really appreciate how new primes are being designed to homage older versions. Hits me right in the nostalgia

I saw this figure during the siege days and thought to myself "Boy he is missing everything I loved about the original Cybertron figure" and proceeded to wait nearly three years to find a Cybertron prime, ignoring all other Optimus Prime figures in the meantime

G1 and Cybertron are my childhood. they have special place in my heart

This figure looks excellent, and I love that the packaging is spinning this as just an upgraded Optimus, and not an alternate character. It looks enough like Galaxy Convoy that you can display/play it as such, but you don't have to feel compelled to.

I hope they make a figure of Cybertron Jetfire someday. I really liked that version of his character. ^^

WHAT?! WHEN?! WHO!? I NOW HAVE MY CHANCE TO GET CYBERTRON OPTIMUS PRIME SCREW YOU MOM AND DAD, IM GONNA BUY IT MYSELF

I love how Magnus appears to be worthy of his own mold from the get go as they realized that means they can easily retool him into a powered up Primes

So basically this figure is G1 Optimus Prime fused with Cybertron Optimus Prime 2 Primes one figure

Yes! Been looking forward to this figure!

I might get this. This is really nostalgic for me, and this is also the current look for Optimus in the Comics.

idk y, but this base robot mode reminds me of Energon Optimus Prime's base robot mode. lol #chunkyprime

Sideswipe’s me when I see the same exact math problems 2 days in a row Ture story

If you look on the package, the truck mode is shown as having a roof piece for the cab. This is either a simple mistake, or they were originally going to retool the original mold more but decided not to for some reason.

I love watching your videos so much! I wish people in my school were like you because I can’t be myself. Everyone in my school has grown up, so I can’t be myself. You are my hero because even though you have grown up into an adult, you show everyone toys and you love doing it, and you aren’t like those annoying adults that say “it is a collectable, not a toy”. I hope kids will always have someone like you to look up to. Please never change.

Amazing to see how much smaller the toys have gotten between the leaders . Man we are getting screwed.

The memories of watching this Chanel are flooding back

It's nice to see generations referencing the Unicron Trilogy every now and then. Totally didn't expect this one, though.

that super mode transformation was SO Fire Convoy

I really love your video and your narrative style keep it up

Yes!, you finally got it!, i was just wondering when you were going to review it (although i didn't ask you in a past video because i didn't want to piss you off, emgo)

Alright we have cybertron prime now all we need is armada prime.

That last bit was the best thing I have ever seen

Its brilliant! There is a subtle flash back that the super transformation is almost identical to the RID fire convoy's super "attachments". Personally still prefer the blocky galaxy force one~ But heck I'm very excited for collecting a siege armada prime as the old one's has Tetraplegic articulation. Lookin forward to his review!

Being as Cybertron Optimus was the first Optimus i ever knew this figure makes me excited, it also makes me hope that a leader megatron is released directly relating to cybertron megatron in some way, *COMPLETE THE DUO HASBRO* ... please. Also the end gag was nice.

This just makes me look forward to the new Siege Armada Prime all that much more.

Nice to see a modern take on my first Optimus Prime toy I ever got. Sadly I grew out of my transformers phase and sold him at a garage sale

Prime time indeed Awesome review

Optimus (At least this version):chest IS shoulders of cybertron optimus Me:”visible discomfort”

Been waiting for this one. I loved the original Galaxy Prime, and i am getting this one to go with him

Definitely didn’t expect an entire remold of Ultra Magnus that would be turned into a Cybertron Optimus out of all things. Might consider it, really been digging all of my Siege figures, especially Ultra Magnus. Now if you don’t mind, our worlds are in danger.....

You the man I have started collecting because you inspired me and the transformers our precious.

Given how the nostalgia boom is now taking hold of Beast Wars and the Unicron Trilogy, I can't wait for the inevitable Transformers Animated nostalgia toyline.

The casing where people who grew up with Unicron Trilogy, "You can't beat the original" like how everyone who grew up with G1 lol Then again, G1 was all imagination while Unicron Trilogy we were just getting some better articulated toys

Sweet video. I look forward to buying this Prime.

"Your toy, do whatever you wish." That will be true here soon for me

This use the siege ultra magnus mold to the BEST degree, idc if his normal mode isn't accurate, ITS SLAGGING AWESOME

Isn’t it weird to me that the handles that prime can use for the big cannons look more like minicon ports?

Love the reviews dude keep’em up But damn the prime fig is real rad 🤟

If you stop the video at 7:34 it looks like the eyes on EmGo's logo are flaring out of Optimus's face. It is a pretty cool effect. Great review, I can't wait until I find this guy. The hunt has been long so far...

Cool review EMGO! My GALAXY UPGRADE OPTIMUS also has LOOSE HIPS

You by far have the nicest hands/fingernails of ANY toy reviewer on the ol’ You-be Tube-be machinebox. 👍

Give this guy... a masterpiece. It can be done.

Thank you for this video.

...... As a Decepticon by spark.... I regret saying this... I NEED THAT OPTIMUS PRIME FIGURE!!

Nostalgia! Now if only they were to do a Leobreaker or Wing Saber...

God I wish I didn’t miss this. I had the original (well, the one with crumplezone) and dear god he is old and needs a successor.

Oh sweet Primus they're multiplying!! Talking about the end skit

Yeah, I missed like half the stuff he said because the only thing going through my head was the Cybertron Theme. I am so glad they made this figure. More Unicron Trilogy stuff, I say!

There's no Savage Claw Mode, but it still gets points for Nostalgia :) Love it

If the Braves series has taught me anything, it's that partsforming super modes are perfectly acceptable, and even encouraged. Actually, this entire combination is _very_ reminiscent of a Braves series combination. Makes sense, since iirc Tamara asked Sunrise to make the Braves series, and Tamara iirc is partnered with Hasbro?

I never had the full original, I wasn't even born when the original came out, but I have the original minus trailer/jetpack and accessories, this one looks like a worthy successor

TF cybertron was my first ever transformer series and oh i loved it

Danggit, I know its Galaxy Force Convoy and all... but my word association is throwing me for a loop and now I can't get Seiza Blaster standby noises out of my head now >.< Doesn't help I just went and viewed some old Kyuranger stuff.

Only Optimus would be stuck in the 80s so badly that he thinks shoulder pads are still vogue...

Cybertron Optimus Prime is what first introduced me to Transformers as a kid!

I cannot wait to get this guy. I always wanted the original when I was younger because I liked the design and it had all the gimmicks. But I’ll settle for a well articulated homage

I am so glad I didn't watch any videos on this guy before I got him. I didn't realize he was a retool, and I have a general rule about not getting retools or repaints outside of the Seekers. Glad I got him! He's such an extensive retool that he really feels like an entirely new figure! I generally haven't been impressed with Hasbro with lines since Prime, but these Siege figures have been (mostly) on point!

The only thing missing in this review is a chance to bloosh with those big canons of Cybertron Optimus Prime, you can totally bloosh like you never blooshed before with those.

Poor megs, he always has do deal with this 🤣

the black magnus guns always reminded me of "The Pillar of Autumn" from Halo

Argh, I now want this Siege Galaxy Convoy SO much now! I have the 2014 Generations Armada Starscream, so maybe an Energon-inspired one and we can complete the Unicron Trilogy.

My FAvorite mold of Optimus Prime! GOT TO HAVE IT!

This transformation reminds me a little of Classics Prime.

that ending was so funny at 21:27

this one is awesome i like how it pays homage to the original, i would like to have this cause i never had the original

Nice!

A cool variant for Siege Optimus for sure. I have some tiny gripes, like how the super mode chest plugging into the base chest looks, but overall a nice representation of the classic Cybertron series Prime. That being said, I personally am going to pass on him since I already own Magnus and I think he wears the mold better. Just my opinion of course. Can't wait for Jetfire though, as I have unreasonable amounts of love for the Macross/Robotech type designs of him : )

IT’S MAGNIFICENT!!

Now I know there’s a possibility for a Voyager Armada Starscream

Now that's a prime toy. All we need now is a leader class megs

I will buy this. Thanks for the video, emgo.

Hey brother! Love your vids! I am an adult (in age only) toy collector who loves the Transformers bur took a 30+ year break from the franchise. Digging your reviews where I'm learning VHS ( visible head syndrome), backpack and parts forming are shameful terms. As for me: VHS? 😂 Parts forming? Old Micronauts and Lego fan here so I'm not grokking the hate the Transformers community has for that. Backpacks? Depends on the aesthetics (on the Prime in this review: essential. On the Bumblebee movie Hot Rod [and Shatter car mode & Dropkick] thoroughly unpleasant.). Being engineeeringly challanged, I SUPER appreciate the 'Just Transform It' vids. Really can't wait to find Galaxy Class Prime in this review! Has a real Shogun Warriors (another joy from my childhood) feel! Any idea of when we might see more Decepticons (Galvatron?) or a Cybertron alt mode Bumblebee (Bee is what drew me back to the characters, would love one for my Swarm). Feel free to check out my toy photos at @toybox_haiku on Instagram! Cheers!

I just got this guy today. Only thing that would've made it better is if the giant guns had a little more paint to reference the original Cybertron Optimus Prime's key gimmicks.

We must find the cyber planet keys before the decepticons can use them for evil

As chunky as the small robot mode is, the perfect 3rd remold of this figure would be Energon Optimus Prime.

God seeing him next to the original Cybertron Optimus really shows how these guys have shrunk, granted they’re a bit more intricate but man I miss how big they used to be

I kinda wish he transformed more like the origional, That way we would have far fewer loose parts to have to deal with and the cab wouldn't "parts-form" to take off the gauntlet things

Was anyone else humming the Galaxy Force/Cybertron theme song in their head when he was transforming this figure in robot mode and super mode?

never thought we’d get cybertron optimus again

I bet this prime makes his papa proud lol i like him, i like the oringal more but he looks great and nice to see love for that prime

PRIME TIME!!!! *kicks door down and fires on the 'Cons*

I always wanted them to use this version just made into a bigger version in the movies
