They're almost bound to just do an outright repaint for him. Just like they did with their kits for: Generations Metroplex/TR Fortress Maximus, PotP Optimal Optimus regular/PotP Throne of the Primes Optimal Optimus (the Optimus Primal repaint), SS13 RotF Megatron/SS31 Battle Damaged RotF Megatron, Siege Ultra Magnus/Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime/Kingdom Ultra Magnus, etc.
This upgrade kit is a pretty awesome add-on to this figure, for sure. DNA were definitely channeling MAKE TOYS when they designed these alterations, because back when the G3 deluxe version of this G2 Prime came out, he had no trailer and was still only a deluxe sized bot/truck, so MAKE TOYS created a tanker trailer with this look in alt mode, and turned into a huge weapons attachment in bot mode, plus had a base mode (which seems like was actually better because they could design everything about the trailer)... In addition, the set included a new G2 style head sculpt (w/a new ball socket neck), a new waist/crotch piece, and parts to attach to his legs to bump his bot mode up to a voyager sized bot... Additionally, it included a sword that lit up, and 2 double barrel blasters. It was a fantastic set, and I got a 2 for 1 deal so I could customize one into a trailer for my Scourge version of the figure too. This set really immediately took me back to that set, and does what it should do, quite well... Especially with the inclusion of new hands & gap filler parts...! Btw, Pvs.P... PLEASE, PLEASE, stop calling EVERY single port a "Mech-Tech Port"... They're JUST PORTS! Mech-Tech was the dumb@$$ gimmick for the 3rd movie line figures, and YES, THOSE were JUST PORTS TOO! They're JUST PORTS. Otherwise, a great review of a terrific looking upgrade kit, which I'll definitely be picking up!
I'm waiting for the same DNA kit but for Scourge since I don't have Laser Optimus. My only complaint about that one is that the leg fillers are gray in color, and it just doesn't match with the black.
If legacy g2 laser prime/ rid scourge looks like this with the upgrade kit+ weaponizers i can only imagine what the future armada Optimus prime will look like with his trailer+ jetfire+ overload, and the weaponizers will make Optimus prime a one bot army with the ultimate firepower
@@_V.Va_ yes it would hurt. 50 bucks for a (not even crazy) but only efficiently engeneered voyager class figure... This is sick ag but let's be real here...
So basically a less refined version of Maketoys Battle Tanker sets? Sorry I'm biased loving 3rd party stuff and owning the regular and the special edition Nemesis versions of Battle Tanker that comes with metal chains, spikes and a cloak with a scythe weapon, like Spawn but in black and teal.
They're 5mm ports that get new names almost every new line, soooooo...you both have a point. Like Earthrise and that A.I.R.L.O.C.K. System nonsense and Siege's C.O.M.B.A.T. System...ugh. 🤷🏽♂️😏😆🤣
Legacy should do TFP Optimus because imagine the TFP body but with more G1 paint and a G1 matrix. Also the guns could be G1 but that will probably not look as good but it should also include the trailer.
I like what they did here, but, Mode B...uhh...wannabe Maketoys Battle Tanker, much? 😏😏😏 (If it weren't such a pain in the nuts to find nowadays, I'd just get that for my Reveal the Shield Deluxe class Laser Optimus from over a decade ago...then again, that set wasn't exactly cheap in price to begin with.)
I want to know why this is "Generation 2 Optimus Prime" if Transformers Generation 2 was just a retransmission of Transformers G1 😶 Like what is it that I don't know about? 🧐😅
Back during the run of Generation 2, yeah, there were largely colorful repaints of G1 stuff (including the canceled Protectobots & Stunticons) throughout 1993. But, like around 1994-95, G2 actually brought up some new designs, including 1993's G2 Tank Megatron (which started the entire Megatron as a tank thing). Laser Optimus, Combat Hero Optimus (smaller truck) & Megs (a smaller tank that would be reused for RiD01 Bludgeon & Robot Masters Reverse Convoy/Rebirth Megatron), the Laser Cycles (I think that Road Rocket may have been among these), and all them Micromaster wannabe Gobots (many of which were reused as Car Robots/RiD01 Spychangers). And definitely ignore the "G2" cartoon and even Marvel's G2 comics. 😏
@@DragoonMS Oh, I see! It makes sense! So it's about the G2 toys! :o, I didn't know they were so different! :o, Thanks for informing me, and I'm sorry about the delay in my answer, it has been a tough week at University 🥲
Hasbro very rarely gets this right. Remember that Reveal the Shield Deluxe class Laser Optimus? That had a G1 Autobot emblem along with a Bayverse styled head and flame deco. I think that the only one in Legacy reppin' the G2 with a proper G2 emblem is Jhiaxus, but idk for sure, as there may be/have been others (like the Generations Selects G2 Arctic Camo Siege Megatron, G2 regular camo Earthrise Megatron, I think G2 Ramjet, & G2 Sandstorm...)
Thanks pvp for this video now I have plenty of ideas with the last weponizer the one who turned into a tank I have 2 and I gonna customize Scorge with it. Best wishes for you and your channel always have the hottest and bring it to the table bro respects 🙏
i will wait for another company who will design an oil tank like maketoys design for laser prime in transformer univers or beyond ideas like fansproject design armor thailer for henkei convoy because this kit is not good when you need to split the oil tank parts to set it on the robot
My wishlist for future Transformers toys: Legacy Constructicons - The Legacy Constructicons are Core Class figures that are able to combine into Devastator just like how the Legacy Dinobots can combine to form Volcanicus. Legacy Offroad - A brand new mold for the Combiner Wars character Offroad, he has his axe weapon and dual blasters, and can form Menasor's left leg. Collaborative Spider-Man - Another original mold from Collaborative, I'm not sure what colors should his blast effects be, but they'll be molded just like his webs nevertheless. Collaborative Homermus Prime - Another original mold from Collaborative that transforms from Homer Simpson's car into the Optimus Prime parody from the Treehouse of Horrors skit "Untitled Robot Parody". I'm not sure what accessories should he have, but the obvious one in my opinion should be a figure of Homer himself. Buzzworthy Bumblebee Jetfire - A re-release of Studio Series Jetfire. Generations Selects Tarantulas - A toy accurate redeco of Legacy Tarantulas that also has a newly molded alternate head just like Skywasp and Buzzworthy Bumblebee Scorponok having Legacy Buzzsaw and Sandstorm's heads respectively as alternate heads.
Are u going to review the upcoming DNA Design DK 35 Studio Series 54 2007 Movie Megatron upgrade kit that will come with a more 2007 movie accurate chest and his JOIN THEM IN EXTINCTION !! fusion cannon that the stock figure didn't came with once it comes out
It’s just not what they are. Mech Tech was the auto-transforming weapons that was part of the Dark of the Moon line. It was just a gimmick for that line. I’m not saying what they should or shouldn’t be.. I’m just saying Hasbro stopped doing Mech Tech 13 years ago. Hasbro calls all slots like this “5mm ports”. If I wanted all holes if that size be called something other than what they were.. I would be the one being inaccurate. So I try and keep my wants out of it and just stick to the cold hard facts. MechTech was auto-transforming gimmick weapons with Dark of the Moon toyline, and it’s not what is being used today as that entire gimmick stopped back in 2011/2012. Hasbro has moved on since then, and many many many gimmicks have past since then.
It’s loud, it’s overkill, it’s quintessential 90’s, and it’s Awesome
Haha very much so!
Adds so much more to the figure now. Great review, really convinced me to get one for my own copy!
Thank you very much! Definitely an improvement!
I hope they make one for scourge sooo cool
I believe it’s already released
Announced bot not yet released
I need the scourge upgrade
Would this not work with Scourge, or do you mean completely different upgrades/accessories?
@@HenchmenNo616 same stuff seeing as they are the same mold just in a different color
This kit makes g2 laser prime look like a truly upgraded version of g1 prime.
I agree! Armed to the teeth!
They should also include some black or gunmetal hands and trans pink missiles so you could use this for RiD Scourge.
They're almost bound to just do an outright repaint for him. Just like they did with their kits for: Generations Metroplex/TR Fortress Maximus, PotP Optimal Optimus regular/PotP Throne of the Primes Optimal Optimus (the Optimus Primal repaint), SS13 RotF Megatron/SS31 Battle Damaged RotF Megatron, Siege Ultra Magnus/Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime/Kingdom Ultra Magnus, etc.
This kit is amazing. Didn't get Laser Prime myself, but I'll definitely be picking up the Scourge version
The trailer upgrades makes Prime look like he walked out of a Doom game.
Wow!! mode B is just ridiculously optimal for mass decepticon destruction. Would G2 Optimus be one of your top 10 favourite figures this year?
Pun intended with Optimal lol?
This upgrade kit is a pretty awesome add-on to this figure, for sure. DNA were definitely channeling MAKE TOYS when they designed these alterations, because back when the G3 deluxe version of this G2 Prime came out, he had no trailer and was still only a deluxe sized bot/truck, so MAKE TOYS created a tanker trailer with this look in alt mode, and turned into a huge weapons attachment in bot mode, plus had a base mode (which seems like was actually better because they could design everything about the trailer)...

Otherwise, a great review of a terrific looking upgrade kit, which I'll definitely be picking up!
DNA should make one for Bulkhead. I think making a new Riot Shield that can disassemble to bulk up the arms and legs is cool
I'm waiting for the same DNA kit but for Scourge since I don't have Laser Optimus. My only complaint about that one is that the leg fillers are gray in color, and it just doesn't match with the black.
I got the LarkinLair set. Im happy with the finished LP look, don't need the overkill here
now he looks a bit like Optimus in jet mod and he really looks very cool
If legacy g2 laser prime/ rid scourge looks like this with the upgrade kit+ weaponizers i can only imagine what the future armada Optimus prime will look like with his trailer+ jetfire+ overload, and the weaponizers will make Optimus prime a one bot army with the ultimate firepower
wowowow thats sick! Considering its only a few small parts I hope its not too expensive
$30.
I'd 100% get this for my Laser Prime. He really needs the improvements
You never fail with these reviews ✅
Thank you 🙏🏻
THIS IS THE COOLEST UPGRADE KIT I HAVE EVER SEEN
9:01 when optimus prime looks at the live action transformers movies and say maybe that optimus prime has a good point with weapons and explosions
OOOOHHH, AWESOME!
Damnnnn this is a sick upgrade. I recently got Prime, I might have to this kit up!
I’m not into upgrade kits or customs but MY GOD THIS LOOKS BADASS AFFFFF
Looking forward to the Scourge version they're releasing.
The kit almost cost the amount of the toy smh
Man those extra trailer parts and weapons are SICK! This is making me want to get this figure even though it doesn't fit in my collection at all.
Wouldn't hurt just to get it because it's an awesome Prime. He even has flames like Bayverse Prime!
@@_V.Va_ yes it would hurt. 50 bucks for a (not even crazy) but only efficiently engeneered voyager class figure...
This is sick ag but let's be real here...
I really like the pieces too! It’s crazy how like 4 adapters can turn the trailer into something actually meaningful for bot mode!
So basically a less refined version of Maketoys Battle Tanker sets? Sorry I'm biased loving 3rd party stuff and owning the regular and the special edition Nemesis versions of Battle Tanker that comes with metal chains, spikes and a cloak with a scythe weapon, like Spawn but in black and teal.
SIEGE PORTS! They're called Siege Ports!
Why can’t they be both? 🥺
They're 5mm ports that get new names almost every new line, soooooo...you both have a point. Like Earthrise and that A.I.R.L.O.C.K. System nonsense and Siege's C.O.M.B.A.T. System...ugh. 🤷🏽♂️😏😆🤣
I love this set cus it is a MASSIVE Alternative to Maketoys G2 Prime RTS tanker set.
Got the Scourge version on preorder. This plus Toyhax's decals should make him very awesome.
Scourge version does look cool!
I'm patiently awaiting my scourge variant to arrive 🥰🥰😁
When the doom music kicks in
Freaking awesome! I'm gonna go open mine right now!
Legacy should do TFP Optimus because imagine the TFP body but with more G1 paint and a G1 matrix. Also the guns could be G1 but that will probably not look as good but it should also include the trailer.

You COULD put the guns on Optimus instead of the trailer. I see a couple of ports on his legs.
I hoping they'll going to have amarda minicons in the transformers legacy series
Now this is Bayverse Prime
i got the one for Scourge on my ebay watch list and aim to aquire myself.
You should take a look at the Toyhax Decals too
I would use mini cons or core figures for the battle station myself I think it would look better far as the battle station use.
There s two holes between the trailer when he s in truck mode their way behind the hole were u can put the trailer u can put the shield there
The blue glow pieces are for laser scourge also g2 fans know them shoulders never every rotate differently from the main body soooo ya there fine
Are you going to order scourge upgrade kit it's just this with different energon color missile and pls do the other ss Dino upgrade kit review
Honestly, I think it would look better with the scourge repaint
Honestly I don't really think this works for Optimus. *_Scourge_* however? This would go GREAT with Scourge.
I'm just imagining What it would look like if they made one for motomaster
Wow. This one is a good upgrade
Optimus is awesome
I had already bought another upgrade kit for this wonderful figure, and now I want to get this set. Ugh.
They made one for toxitron I didn’t manage to get laser prime
this isnt an upgrade kit its a whole new figure
Mode B is the only one that looks good to me. I'm rather disappointed with this set tbh. I'm glad I watched the review before buying.
They made one of these for scourge right? If so, will this upgrade kit hold even if my figure arms are slightly loose?
oh my goodness he can have trailer upgrade
makes me want a scurge upgrade kit
Things about to go down I think the cons need to run
Has anyone tried the make toys trailer for reveal the shield prime to see if it works with legacy prime?
Laser Prime is my absolutely favorite design. Love it to bits and I love this upgrade kit.
I'll be displaying it as mode b. I already bought a rifle for Optimus prime.
You won't catch Optimus Prime slacking this time.
Bars.
So worried constantly removing the side halves from the friction hinges will wear them down and ruin them :(
I think if you were to do it many times then it could come an issue but just every so often (as long as you’re gentle) should be fine
This is a cool kit, but you're right in that we need better shoulders. And a better sword
It sucks that I can’t find this on amazon.
I want them but for the dark Optimus prime
Great video Prime!!!!! I bought this right away! Easy purchase!!!! Thanks
When and where is this set going to be available and for how much?

I wish they made the matrix can glow
What’s the music in the background I like it
Does it works with Scourge/Nemesis Prime?
Yes sir! But not a colour match
Shouldn't the autobot insignia be generation 2? or no
Hasbro very rarely gets this right. Remember that Reveal the Shield Deluxe class Laser Optimus? That had a G1 Autobot emblem along with a Bayverse styled head and flame deco.

Not bad but you can do basically the same thing with a weaponizer
Pov: you see a Decepticon 0:18
Thanks pvp for this video now I have plenty of ideas with the last weponizer the one who turned into a tank I have 2 and I gonna customize Scorge with it. Best wishes for you and your channel always have the hottest and bring it to the table bro respects 🙏
Ngl the shoulders don’t bother me that me much if I were owing it I would just angle it. Better
i will wait for another company who will design an oil tank like maketoys design for laser prime in transformer univers or beyond ideas like fansproject design armor thailer for henkei convoy
because this kit is not good when you need to split the oil tank parts to set it on the robot
My kingdom Optimus can’t hold anything because of his moving hands so I’m not getting moving hands for the g2 Optimus prime I wish I had
I just want the hands
We need guns. Lots of guns...
Haha absolutely!
Need like... 100 more guns
Love this keep it up!
Thank you!
He looks so cool
Agreed!
I like mod A
Ehhhh BUMMER!!!! Not the TowHook review. Oh well, DNA Design has been flexing hard these day. Keep up the good reviews.
Nice review
Decepticons see this:💀☠️
Wow the name itself is a mouth full lol
If those hands break you will want the old ones out of the trash untill ya replacements get here haha
Aaa..megatron,sir ..whe have a problem 😐 optimus become a gun.
There´s no kill like overkill...

(sarcasm used) I don't Optimus has enough weaponry
They are not "Mech Tech ports"!! They are just 5mm ports. Only Dark of the Moon had "Mech Tech".
Why can’t they be both?
It’s just not what they are. Mech Tech was the auto-transforming weapons that was part of the Dark of the Moon line. It was just a gimmick for that line.

Optimus tuneado no existe, optimus tuneado:
Yeah. It's a missed opportunity to not make some sort of upgrade to the shoulders. Just for that alone, this set is a pass.
I abhor "something along the lines of this"
Oof 😅 sorry about that
They aren't mechtech ports. Mechtech hasn't been a thing for 10 years. They are C.O.M.B.A.T ports or 5 millimeter ports
😕👎
