Stop Motion Review 114 - Kingdom/Earthrise Optimus Prime 

I'm not even mad there were adds in the middle of the video. The timing with the classic commercial break stop motion remakes is just so cool 😂👍

“Siege Astrotrain” “Earthrise Astrotrain” Hey wait a minute

I actually like the wheels on his back, they look clean and actually looks well integrated rather than looking like annoying kibble. Like it kinda adds as ‘look, im a robot that turns into a truck!’ Sure, it’s not what most G1 designs depict, but it still looks nice to me.

The opening skits is amazing. "What's this?" "The rest of your mode" "The REST?"

20:41 What's funny is that Optimus in the original show was suppose to have the wheels on his legs show as well as having the grey strip in truck mode with yellow eyes, as he appeared like this in his first animated commercial appearance, only for them to simplify the designs to make it cheaper.

This figure is almost certainly going to get a repaint as Nemesis Prime, but the repaint I want is Shattered Glass Optimus. Shattered Glass needs more love in general.

The first thing they repainted it was his corpse and they call it a "sleep mode" dont worry little Johnny his just sleeping

The AFFORDABLE mp 44 optimus prime

Theory about /explanation for why Siege Prime doesn't have the Matrix: he's not actually "Prime" yet, He's certainly Optimus, but he has yet to receive the Matrix

The only thing I don’t like is well, missing Roller but because I can get one from the weapons pack so I’m good with that

That Starscream trailer segment tho 😂

17:26 Just had a traumatic flackback to potbelly prime from the Energon line. Really makes you appreciate how far we've come.

I think it's safe to say this is one of the greatest transformers figures ever made.

Something that I still absolutely love about these reviews is how the commercial breaks are perfectly timed, and how much effort goes into each reviews. You never cease to amaze us Lazy, keep up the good work! 27:53 Love the X reference!

A comment section that doesnt even say first. It truly is a great day!

Man, I gotta say, the extended smokestacks just took this near perfect bot to another level. Both in bot and truck modes. Great job, and amazing video!

Damm bumblebee actually looks good with the kibble Photoshoped out

16:40 That transformation is actually so simple I wish other primes transformed like this

this figure is what convinced me that earthrise is definitely the best transformers toyline so far

20:31 "that something the cartoon got wrong" woooow! That's some unpopular opinion I 100% agree with

did you know in the original writeup of optimus by bob budianski, the trailer and roller were explicitly part of him. like how when flywheels or overlord split in two, all 3 parts are fully him

14:50 I can see G1 Megatron making Starscream do this. 😂

I love the fact that he doesn’t have a backpack

You know I feel like we all just want Lazy to zoom through every vehicle mode of every figure. Just to hear him talk about cool car facts

I searched “earthrise Jazz” then this vid showed up. It was worth it.

I love this Optimus. The size of the trailer does not bother me based on appearance. It does bother me that I can only fit small figures in it.

13:26 Yes, the bio on G1 Prime’s box says so.

You are the first person to ever make a return after commercials bit. I appreciate that

Ahhh thank you youtube for putting this in my recommendations. This was one of the sweetest reviews i’ve ever seen. The stop motion aspect is something i’ve never seen it done before and I love it!

I like Earthrise Prime, but ultimately I prefer Siege and Studio Series, Siege because it keeps to G1 while also doing something new, Studio Series because its a stylized G1 Prime, but I still love Earthrise Prime, probably would have loved him more if he came first, but if he did I probably wouldn't have bough those other two amazing figures, though I hope WFC Kingdom doesn't give us another Prime, you perfected if Hastak, no need to try anymore, just keep releasing this one with different decos and accessories

TL;DR: Earthrise Optimus Prime is best described as the original Optimus toy, if it was designed in 2020. Let me just say that the only reason I haven’t bought it yet is because I’m a jobless incoming college freshman and won’t be able to afford it until Christmas. “That sucks” is an understatement. Edit: So I may have finally bought this figure, along with 5 others. I’m gonna be selling off some of my Prime Wars trilogy era toys on either Armatrix or Ebay depending on which attracts buyers faster to make up for the hole I just shot through my wallet with a fusion cannon.

FUN FACT: turn the matrix over and plug a blast effect in it for the touch

20:55 That line resonated hard with me. I get not liking kibble, as it can often be unattractive or get in the way of articulation. But I never got why people are mad about car wings or leg wheels; the whole unique thing of the toy line is that they're robots AND something else, whether car or plane or monster. Having alt mode parts in the robot mode is part of the fun!

23:59 Earthrise Megatron: "Opening hands, on a CHUG figure, in this scale, at this price point, entirely localized on this figure!?" Earthrise Prime: "Well...yes!" Earthrise Megatron: "...can I have it?" Earthrise Prime: "No."

Man, I've had this figure for a year now and I didn't now the back wheels were detachable and that he came with a jet pack!!! I am so mind blown by a figure that I had for a year! I always wanted the MP-10, but now, not anymore! This figure is ASTOUNDING! Thanks for sharing this!

I love how your comedy keeps getting better and better with each review

Everybody gangsta till Optimus Prime has the wrong brakes.

I hope you're going to review Earth Rise Scorponok. That titan feels like the highlight of Earthrise.

The open hands while doing the splits just made it 100% better.

I thought he was gonna transform back while cliffjumper was still in the trailer, having him disappear in thin air out of nowhere 😆

“The first time since power of the primes he’s had a trailer” ah yes, a whole 1 year without a new Optimus with a trailer

*Bumblebee, I need a pizza bagel* - Optimus prime

The lazy eyebrow you da best man but its 2 hours till premiere rn oof so ima set reminder and drop a like

How the heck did I miss this review until now?!?! That opening skit was great!!

I got mine just yesterday, and THIS is the ultimate Optimus Prime from Hasbro/Takara

The trailer also has a 3mm flight stand hole. This fig is so good! So much hidden goodness.

Ok love the fact you have the nod to the g1 show commercial cut. Right before the actually youtube commercial. Perfect

You might remember that i made a comment on Optimus saying "get the rest of us re-booted" and i said that cybertronians are just big metal people, when in G1 continuity they were simply smart robots who could feel pain and think for themselves. Basically, even in stories where these large boys and girls were built by the quintessons, we shouldn't see them as machines, but simply as life forms made of metal. Because minicons are so dang similar to Mega man's reploids, save for having smaller heads relative to their body's, and transform into a multiple array of tools, household appliances, vehicles and animals.

Bay Optimus: Let's roll!

Man, I just ordered this figure off of amazon (at retail price! Yay!) so this review is in perfect timing! I like to hype myself up when I buy a figure

Best review out there so far! Indeed one of the best prime figure for a very long time! The designer deserves a promotion

You researched IRL truck parts for a Optimus Prime toy. You just earned a Sub my friend

While I still hate his simplified legs, his upper body is just perfect potato.

13:07 This whole sequence had me

Dayummm I love how you time the “The tranformers will return after these messages” and the “we now return to the transformers” right at the ad. I love it

Wow...I’m loving this channel. The way you do the ads so it was like watching the cartoon is AMAZING. You really put time into these and it shows.

Yeah I'm definitely picking this guy up I'm also going to make him the Ultimate Optimus I'm talking the non F upgrade kit so the trailer looks better and I get a silver roller also the Centurion pack for the Ion Blaster, axe and I can use the included blue roller for the repair drone to make it like mp44's mobile repair drone and the Matrix Workshop roller mainly used as a jetpack

30:29 Boi, You just became a target for Angry fans who are gonna rip you apart whilst screaming “HIS NAME IS LINK!!!”

I've watched this so many times already I love it, and im getting it i think tomorrow! Thank you for reviewing this!

The breaks for the videos ads were so clean with the original cartoon. So nostalgic actually convinced me to watch them

20:58 FINALLY, SOMEBODY ELSE WHO THINK THE AGE OF EXTINCTION DESIGNS NEED VEHICLE KIBBLE!

I just wish that the trailer was longer and that his arm could extend so he could open his chest or cross his arms

As someone who works on a Taco truck, I really appreciate the food truck joke

This is the only channel where I like the placement of the ads

You seem to be perfectly okay with modifying your figures so I want to mention that you can remove the back half of his feet, so that he doesn't have the awkward heels sticking way back. You can't throw him at a desk and land him on his feet anymore but his balance is still pretty good, he doesn't really need the heels for most poses On a different note also related to feet, with the new simplified legs compared to Siege, I wish they would have used that extra budget and space to somehow fold his feet into his legs for alt mode. I'm sure it would have been possible, there's plenty of space there

Congratulations for your stop motion videos! :) They are all very well done and fun too! :)))

Finally got my hands on this figure, and it is as glorious. I don't think a Transformer has brought me this much nostalgic joy since the OG masterpiece Prime. I just can't put him down, can't stop transforming him back and forth to admire him from every intricate angle. Siege Megatron made me happy, but Earthrise Optimus makes me euphoric. It's almost enough to make me want to quit collecting, because I'm just not sure how anything could get better from here... or if it could, I'm not sure I could survive the overload of positive emotions for which mortal words would be insufficient to describe.

I’m so glad to see that someone agrees about how this figure looks! For the first time in AGES, we finally have a G1 styled Prime that actually looks and fits the part! (The updated version they released recently actually has an even nicer paint job in my opinion, though he doesn’t come with a trailer. Honestly though I don’t mind as his price is lower, and he looks amazing in general.)

I honestly adore this Optimus Prime figure, I can happily call this my definitive transforming G1 Prime, much how I consider MP-01/04 my definitive G1 Prime statue. He has problems, and mine especially came with slight shoulder deformation, and a loose shoulder port, but he still transforms without a hitch (unless you count the one for the trailer). I can honestly only say I have two complaints that aren't factory defects. The first is the shoulders. I loved posing my MP-01 to reach around his front, which unfortunately Earthrise Prime can't do. Disappointing, but far from a deal-breaker. The second issue? The back of the head. Why the heck they made the back of the head red, and painted an easily-chipped metallic blue over it is beyond me. The hands don't even have this problem for me, weirdly enough. Large portions of blue are missing from the antennas, and back of the head on mine, and that sucks horribly. I never had insentive to buy Siege prime, but just to replace the head I may find one being sold with missing parts for cheap. Besides that? Amazing figure, I couldn't recommend it more, but I will say if you don't care about the trailer, wait until the Netflix figures. There's rumor Earthrise Prime will be released without it, so if you don't mind the inevitable battle wear paint, wait it out for a better cost.

the part where he nitpicks about the wheel brakes is so dumb and pointless i love it

Sweet review! Like always, great skits.

I’m personally sticking with the 35th anniversary siege version. I think siege has better proportions( I removed the kibble) and that one has much better colors IMO.

Originally titled Earthrise Optimus prime, nothing between the two figures has changed beyond the box Link to the boosted frame rate edition can be found here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_QxapsE1p3o.html Link to the Printed Smokestacks and Axe here! www.thingiverse.com/thing:4551186

Bro that’s awesome with that “we return to the transformers”part is really cool

Your vids have earned a new subscriber. I know the pains of stop motion transformations

Really, prime is a robot that turns into a truck.

16:15 under rated joke

I can’t believe when I got adds in the video the commercial brake parts were PERFECTLY timed!

Thank goodness they reissued this figure

Another great buy at $12. I'm so glad I waited. Actually I didn't even know about this line of transformers until I saw them. And by that time they were 1/3 the price. And we're new at the discount store I love.

In his original bio, prime DOES feel the pain of his trailer and roller, AND VISAVERSA, meaning roller was suffering during every fight Prime was in during g1, I can only imagine what Roller, and I guesss the trailer, we’re going through during the 86 movie, let alone when he went zombie kamikazi in season 3

The commercial/ad transitions hit me right in the nostalgia

I always love this kind of intro with Transformers Comedy xD

The back wheels might be a reference to the studio ox design of optimus which puts the wheels on the back

I’ve been waiting to hear your thoughts on this one!! Got mine a few weeks ago, it’s the G1 Prime I’ve dreamt of having minus a few small qualms. The Roller of the Legends-size IDW Optimus works as a substitute, and I managed to find the parts to build him an adequate axe. My only remaining gripe is that his face isn’t painted around his eyes like Siege Prime, so his beautiful baby blues don’t pop nearly as much.

The review is amazing, your quality has improved, the points you made were well thought out, and those skits had me CACKLING. Amazing job!!! So glad I'm subscribed to you!

Gosh darn I love how you did the breaks and ads.

Speaking of recreating the final shot of the Bumblebee movie, do you have a recommendation for the best old Camaro version of Bumblebee? I'm disappointed that there isn't at least a 3rd party MP style version somewhere. The 2007 version with all the weathering detail would be cool, but a clean brand new version would be equally cool, ngl I'd like to get one of each. EDIT: Hey, you like legos, too. Cool.

Earthrise in a nutshell: G1 but modern How did my comment get 13 likes ?

Very nice opening. Note that the Marvel comic first issue came up with good explanations for why both autobots and decipticons transformed into 1980's earth vehicles, and also a few issues later how the dinobots came to have their forms.

The things he thought were brakes, I’m pretty sure are supposed to resemble the part of the wheel that’s been cut out

12:26 what a silly concept, I sure hope there exists no potential counterpoint at the time of this comment being written

You realize that without the detail on the drums, you wouldn't get any effect with the rotating cutouts? Having the molded parts achieve the desired effect (eg. inner detail) was always going to be more important than verbatim of the original.

I love how you loving the small articulated hands but I would love to see how you'd comprehend the smaller real grade gundam hands:) love your stuff man

I never get tired of your review! Keep up the good work!

Prime needs to be about 50 to 75% larger. The other cars bots should be able to fit in the trailer.

The siege/earthrise astrotrain gag got a good chuckle out of me.

I liked those transitions to the ads reminds me of the commercials for the cartoon.

I'm gonna wait for the rerelease, but either way, this thing is awesome. Can't wait to get this mold.

When I get the we’ll be back I’m not even mad about the ads since you added the stop motion intermissions just love it!
