The fact that this Optimus is one of the few that actually doesnt rely on his waist joint to transform the legs is quite refreshing. I've been wanting an Optimus that I can transform and just imagine like he's literally just standing up while transforming, not doing some breakdancing just to get on his feet
@@Pxen.He isn’t answer those questions, but he can show them in another video , like u could see this prime in a code red figure review, and when he was reviewing some of the rotb stuff he did show ss mirage for a moment and then maked a review
This figure clearly could rival the Earthrise mold, that is the best mainline OP not based upon the movies, just G1, so he got a rival, thou it might stand as one of the top six OP figures for me, the others being: Earthrise Classics SS WFC Legacy Armada Prime First Edition OP The Legacy G2 failed to make the top 6 for me because of those shoulders, it really lets the figure down
This is a huge surprise. I was so worried that he was gonna be small compared to the other Optimus Prime figures from this year. But wow, he's probably the best Optimus Prime from this year. He even made Rise of the Beasts Optimus Prime look small. And wow, the thrusters come out perfectly in both modes. I wonder if he's gonna have a double jump effect in the game. I honestly don't even mind that the axe isn't gonna be hand held. He's definitely a Prime I'll want to get one day.
The fact that all optimus toys ever always has one key transformation were his arms,body,and head turn to the cab and leg turn to the back is actually cool
@LordMegatronVA oh really? I heard he was a filler while Peter cullen was working on rotb hence why it wasn't cullen in the leaked cutscene. guess we'll have to wait and see
It's a small detail, but I really like how this Optimus doesn't rotate at the waist for transformation. Dunno how to describe it, I just think it's a neat touch.
The cavity in the truck cab might be able to fit a small scale person inside. Soundwave’s SUV also had some weird seat-looking thing on the roof, so I’m hoping that the reactivate line could have human figures that could pair with the Autobots and Decepticons.
Some modernized Minicons or something similar would make me very happy. I can’t imagine they’d come out with human figures for Reactivate since, if I’m not mistaken, the game is set on Cybertron.
It's amazing how many Optimus Primes we're getting. I got in the hobby during generations/combiner wars era, and just for years we did not get any Optimus Primes that actually looked like a proper Optimus.
What's interesting is that whoever is doing the designs of this new wave seems to be taking huge hints from 3rd party toy designers/creators - and it shows. It's surprising to me because normally Hasbro would rather cut corners and oversimplify the transformations than making something this detailed for a semi-mass produced toy these last few years. This brings me back to the days of Revenge of the Fallen wave of figures that pretty much became instant collectibles for how very detailed the transformations were. Edit: I think you forgot to tab in his ab piece - which was why you couldn't get the front wheels to roll well. I can clearly see the tabs and the slots they should go into at timestamp 13:49 of this video.
Just picked up this Optimus myself. He's real solid and I love how the engineering hides the feet in vehicle mode compared to just about every other Optimus mold.
I think think might be the best Voyager OP since like, the 06 Classics mold wow, I'm especially pleased to see it actually has some mass on it, he's a proper big lad! That comparison with WFC Gamer Prime is just sad, lol. I hope it gets ALL the repaints, probably won't because video game tie-in but a boy can dream
This has to be the best Voyager Optimus prime of the year! Seems the team that worked on this figure are not the same from the Studio series because wow what a difference.
I couldn't preorder these two sets fast enough. I love the look of these guys and this might become my overall go-to Optimus from now on. It looks increadible.
I clicked as fast as i can. Bro i know you got megatron plz plz review him soon my mom dont let me get anything like this so your videos mean a lot to me
Idk about that soundwave but this optimus makes those 62 dollars completely worth it. 3 accesories, great transformations PERFECT size and proportion. until i get my KO for the SS ROTB optimus this will satisfy my need for an optimus
This Optimus would definitely rock the Shattered Glass paint job perfectly. His shape fits that version. Besides that, this Optimus will definitely be perfect next to my MDLX Megatron.
I really hope there is a Megatron figure with someone like grimlock or shockwave. I like how much detail there is on this figure. I know you probably won’t see this, but great video! Keep it up
Decided to pre-order this since not only we get an amazing Optimus Prime, Soundwave being included with a great vehicle mode is a bonus to me. Plus I love Soundwave! This release speaks to me!
The transformation looks like it takes some of the good ideas from the Classics 06, Siege and Earthrise not that it's a bad thing they're all fantastic Prime's.
I would love have this in my collection. It's a shame that it's a 2-pack and a limited release. Really hope that it'll get a mass retail release some time in the future, maybe next year?
With how good the size, paint, and articulation is on this guy and the other figures, I was honestly kinda worried thst the plastic quality would've been given the short end of the stick budget-wise, but hearing that it's actually good plastic me so happy, and even more glad that I preordered him and Soundwave!
Este optimus prime tiene aires de elementos de transformación de las diferentes figuras sacadas de este Prime, desde el se Siege, Earthrise, e incluso del studio series de Rise of the beast en cuanto a guardar las ruedas delanteras en los costados del torso del robot, además el modo vehículo me recordó al que tenía la figura de Classics
If I had to be nitpicky I'd say, as always, I worry about the clear plastic of the chest windows, otherwise? This looks like the best Prime we've seen in AGES! I love how clean both the alt and the bot mode are.
I don't understand how people can be mad when he gets figures early. Early reviews ahead of time like these will probably determine whether someone gets the figure or not!
While the game doesn't excite me quite as much given the long wait this Prime in itself looks well worth the price of the two pack. A lot of this reminds me of the siege mold which already was pretty good, but this is different enough aesthetically to add to the collection. Huge points for the improved shoulders, unique transformation, and super clean truck mode. This is the first time I think since the Lego release the hands aren't hidden in the forearms but are similarly hidden behind the front panels. Soundwave also looking good and nice to finally see a proper size comparison between these two.
PrimevsPrime you're gonna make me bankrupt by making all these new figures look so much more exciting than they're shown. The better you make a figure look the more I feel the need to add it to my collection. And this prime looking how he does, he's going to be a fine addition indeed. All that compacted engineering, you not needing to rotate his waist for the legs is so refreshing to see on a Prime figure. The fact he includes not only his iconic Ion cannon, but an axe looking that good and the matrix itself, that's one thing I'm upset the ROTB prime didn't include as I was easily able to forgive the smaller gun accessory due to how big it would have needed to be to wrap around his arm. The articulation looks so clean nothing looks unnatural. The G1 styled colour scheme works so well for prime in any continuity. Once again making your reviews so much more entertaining with the opening shots 💯💯💯
this one is my personal favorite, the alt mode and robot mode are super clean and the transformation is unique and the design is so attractive i'm so excited for the game to release with this amazing Optimus design
seems like having a matrix is becoming more of a norm for optimus figures and this makes me just so gosh darn happy as someone who's been collecting Optimus figures since I was young
He reminds me more of how he looked at the beginning of the first BumbleBee than the actual toy that was supposed to represent him. I can wait to see what customizers do with him. I already spot the areas I'd be painting.. @6:16 This Soundwave actually looks like he's in the same medium.
Alright that's it i'm buying this 2 pack!! haha I cant wait to get my hands on both Prime and Soundwave. In all honestly this transformation of Optimus is amazing and have similar throwbacks to the OG figures.
Hey, PrimeVsPrime, since you have the figures in-person would you say that Soundwave looks more proportionate in-person than he did in the Hasbro product shots? His odd lankiness in their promo images had me somewhat put off, but in the video he doesn't look nearly as bad so it's hard to fully gauge when every image and video makes him look different.
They shortchanged Soundwave. He should’ve been a voyager as well. Out of those four, Bbb is the only deluxe class. OP really looks great. Thanks for the review.
Wow this optimus is the best, hope they make a nemesis prime repaint, I don't understand why on the back is more clean than the ss rotb, hope they make a version 2.0 of rotb prime, for me this reactivate optimus is one of the strongest transformers of this year, and has great articulation, paint and detail, I hope this line will continue.
The transformation seems to have as many of not possibly more moving parts than mp10 which is impressive for a mainline figure It's one of those just when I thought I had enough Optimus Prime figures this thing shows up and it is a definite hardcore want
Transformation reminds me of third party to be real honest. It has all these folding and unfolding plates behind one another and you just explode it all out while moving the robot mode kibble underneath them. This has me sold, goddamn.
