You are so right about this figure being a good. When this figure was in the store, I passed it up several times before I eventually picked the last one up. And at home It sat there for more than a year before I saw a review of it and realize that it’s a pretty good figure. It does answer the question of where does Optimus prime trailer go when he’s in robot mode. He’s in my top 5 favorite Optimus prime that I own

I remember getting this toy for Christmas years ago. to this day one of the coolest toys ive ever gotten and really felt like a leader amongst the other Autobots I had. the battles I had on the living room floor are some of my favourite memories as a kid and he was so much fun to play with because he was so different from other transformers I had. Today he's displayed on a shelf above the head of my bed which is exclusive to Optimus prime figures (which I call Optimus shrine), some notable ones on there are: LEGO Optimus prime, MS-02EX (a magic square knock-off which I consider to be the most G1 show accurate prime to have ever been made) and most recently the missing link C-01 among a few other primes. He wasn't the first prime I ever got, I had others before him such as a warrior class RID prime or another RID prime which was a 1-step changer but PotP was the first BIG prime a got so he was very special to me and will always have an equally special place in my heart and will be forever cherished

I truly loved this prime. He’s roughly similar size to mp10 and I used to treat him like Optimus if he was in some kind of SWAT mode, with the trailer forming additional armour. I doubt I’d view it the same way now, earthrise has been my boy for 5 years. But even with the cheap plastic and dodgy qc this was so much fun. It soured it for me when I bought nemesis prime and later star convoy and the qc degraded further. But this guy is a lovely throwback. I’d hunt one down but studio 86 and the other reissues take priority.

I wish that there was a comparably good first party Megatron to pair him with (Combiner Wars Megatron just doesn't do the character justice), but if you want something equally as great at this scale track down Buzzworthy Bumblebee Titans Return Soundwave. He has a similar chunky design and looks absolutely perfect standing next to POTP Optimus. Thanks for posting!

Some details to note with your review (good job btw~!) First and foremost, his Ion Blaster does split in half, creating two rifles for Orion to use (even though he wouldn’t being a pacifist lol). Then there’s the Matrix. It actually does fit securely inside his chest, you need to align the back of it with the top of Orion’s head when it’s resting inside the chest cavity. Once you get it plugged in there it won’t go anywhere. And lastly, it wasn’t JUST Star Saber they paid tribute to, but also Super Ginrai / Power-Master Optimus Prime~! I have a first-run of this figure myself and I have him posed with my Combiner Wars Leader Class Megatron, because they both pair really well together. He’s big, goofy, doesn’t have the best quality ever, but he’s a lot of fun for sure~ I even customized mine so I could snugly fit the Matrix that comes with the O.G MP-01 Optimus Prime.
@ronbondujon9690
@ronbondujon9690 2 месяца назад
I’ve been talking to people in the comments, but it amazes me that this mold never became Ginrai or Ultra Magnus, it would have been perfect for both of them! I think it’s just because they had a Powermaster Prime that came out the year before and a Magnus came the year after, maybe they just feared they would saturate the market. Thank you for the tips, too! It’s funny to think of Orion dual wielding on his dock.

@@ronbondujon9690 Right?? I honestly think it was a missed opportunity on their part. They could have EASILY made a Ginrai /PM Prime with this mold! As it is, the Nemesis Prime version of this figure only cements this fact. Smaller Nemesis Prime becomes a bigger one after combining with the trailer to form a super mode of sorts. So yeah, definitely could have! Oh! Small detail to note, you can remove the center of the Matrix from its handle piece and replace it with either a head master, or a Prime Master~ it’s a weird gimmick, but a neat one nonetheless~!

Orion fits in to a good Chug collection, Optimus Prime is a great "stand alone" figure. I dare say he's a great display Prime, despite the grey trailer kibble even. Also as far as him standing. I was disappointed until I found a "fix pose". His shins can only bend so far forward until he the plastic bits allow to bend anymore. So the wide stance as you mentioned combining with a partially bent knee allows for a stance that is, I dare say, stable.

Best looking Optimus figure ever released at retail? Well, as they say, YMMV. That said, I am in TOTAL agreement with your take on POTP Optimal Optimus. That figure gets a ton of hate that just baffles me. I have him, I had the original (sold it off), and I just love it. I think they nailed it, personally. Sure, the plug in "regular" Primal is so-so, but the Optimal Optimus mode is a winner, and given the constraints of the POTP line, I think he turned out great. Anyway, I passed on this back when POTP was current, because there were several design aspects that just didn't jibe with my tastes. 1) A G1 Optimus has to have blue fists (Unless he's PM-Op, in which case they can be red.) 2) Those horrible, horrible foil stickers. 3) Too many obvious hollow-parts, like Orion's legs. And 4) The horrible alt-mode. Now that he's back, my previous issues on top of the current QC issues (possibly down to mold-wear) will keep me from picking him up again. However, I'm glad that collectors who missed out on him the first time around now have a second shot.

Huh. My copy of PotP Optimus - both Optimus & Orion - was okay; only real problem was that the ankles are hot garbage, *EVEN IF YOU LOCK THEM INTO PLACE CORRECTLY*. (Of course, Orion Pax's joints have loosened over time) This...this...THIS...is where both Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime & Optimus Primal/Optimal Optimus absolutely destroy Orion Pax/Optimus Prime. Actual ankle stability. But...to be fair...there were only two reasons I got it: first was to go along with my MP Megatron until I got my MP44 KO, the second was after that, it would be my mainline Orion Pax. Rodimus's actual Rodimus Prime mode wasn't great...but for me, the Hot Rod served as my Rodimus Prime (up until I got the Kingdom Rodimus Prime) since I already had Titans Return Hot Rod *as* Hot Rod (later replaced by SS86-4 Hot Rod), with the actual Rodimus mode being the Super Mode. And Optimal Optimus gets a ton of help from the two DNA Design upgrade kits for it (DK08 & DK08+)...making him even more superior to Optimus Prime & Rodimus Prime. A couple of the parts are massively mahoosive to the design: they're wheels. They're wheels that literally give back the armored truck mode that the designers inexplicably took out...which beats the old Titanium Series figure, that one lost the gorilla mode but has both truck & jet!
