The reboot Optimus has always had detailing on his faceplate. Just look at the opening scene of Bumblebee when he say "Fall back!" There's etched detailing all over it. Of course ROTB continues the detailed faceplate thing as can be seen in the trailer, namely in the "Let them come" bit at the end.
Studio will just be a retool of BB Movie Prime. So it’ll be bigger, but not an all original mold like this one… which is part of why he’s fun. He’s much more simple than a lot of movieverse Primes, and people, including me, love that.
@@SamanthaS92 Hasbro announced the ss ROTB Optimus and I’m pretty sure they said they retooled the bb movie mold so much it’s practically its own figure
@@fegreninja7197 well, as I said it’s a retool… but some retools can be pretty comprehensive. Take Metalhawk or Devcon. Maybe it will be really good. Only time will tell. Still waiting on seeing a Studio Wheeljack and a mainline deluxe Arcee.
What I noticed during the vehicle comparisons is just how good the SS05 truck is, like damn, maybe that's why that's the mold they used for Premium Finish
I just picked one up for the size i love it its my first Prime i have bought since revenge of the fallen leader class Prime it is amazing to see the evolution of prime toys
Interesting to see a review that paints this figure in a positive light. I've seen a lot of complaints about the proportions, paint (or more accurately, the lack there of), and the hollow bits that say that this figure is a disappointment for the $40 price tag, and should be half that.
One thing this has over the bumblebee movie Optimus Prime is that the legs don't come apart with the slightest provocation and I own two examples one I scored a resale shop for $15 because why the hell not and just like the one I bought new the legs also come apart Also I think it's cute that your cat wanted to get in on the size comparisons Edit I also want to compliment this figure on how good it looks in both modes
It's kinda nice that after years of just Studio Series and the cheaper, gimmicky kids toys we're actually getting decent mainline movie toys again. That's not knocking Studio Series or even some of the more kid focused stuff, but you know what I mean.
The ROTB mainline has different scaling than Studio Series, that's why SS 100 Bumblebee is almost as big as mainline ROTB Optimus. He'd most likely scale better with mainline ROTB Bumblebee.
I love the figure well but the cat part was just the best lol 🤣 I just recently got mine rise of the beasts version of crime a couple days ago like I said I love the figure it's pretty good best
Those jutting parts on the forearms and smoke stacks don't bother you? The overall look detail and articulation is good tho, thanks for the review. Hopper is adorable. My cat does the same when I'm on my phone lol
The smoke stacks are tight enough in bot mode that they don't bother me. I'm just clumsy. And i know this is going to sound weird but I never even notice the forearm parts. Maybe I've just gotten used to forearm kibble?
@baltmatrix ok nice glad they are tight. I mea t the gray triangle parts on them. Oh I see, I understand, seems many have gotten used to the forearm kibble these days. For the price and size though, it ain't bad. Thanks for replying also mate 👍
The size for the price.. ehhh. Does he at least justify it with good plastic quality? Kinda like Kingdom Primal, he was short and stocky but my word he felt chunky. The transformation looks like a lot of fun, though! And that's what matters to me most.
To bad it’s fucking impossible to find . Went to Walmart’s 20 times in 2 weeks and can’t find shit and Walmart kept saying not available in back when presented barcode
Hey Balt, at about the 11:50 mark you used the word "Jipped" which is actually a pretty offensive term to the Romani (otherwise known as gypsy) people, as it's a variation of the term "Gypped." I didn't know this myself until a month or so ago when my partner brought it up to me. Though I do agree, the price point of the figure is pretty rough.
I love this figure. It looks even better after i gave it gunmetal silver. The face always has those proportions. The first version of this character had a fat face
Can somebody explain to me the ROTB mainline/SS situation? The mainline Airazor and Cheetor are totally different from the SS/movie looks as if they were designed for a cartoon or mobile game while the mainline Bumblebee is WAY bigger than his SS counterpart, now we got this almost deluxe size OP...what is going on here?
I have to ask why he is all Grey plastic, was that really a smart cost cutting move? What is the longevity of the paint because of it? Amen to the prices going up while the size of the figures keeps shrinking.
Yeah, no. Not buying a Deluxe in disguise when it's a bayformer and I already have the superior WFCE and Legacy G2 OPs, not to mention literally twenty older Optimus Primes, and ES Warrior OP and SS Gamer OP (or as I call them, Orion Banner and Optimus Hulk) due to ship like, tomorrow.
the transformations is pretty cool but he is just too small for the price point. i found him today at Walmart but passed on him. he looks a bit dull in the paint department and his head looks like he messed with the witch doctor from Beetlejuice. so far all of these "main line" figures from RotB are an easy pass for me. i will wait for the Studio Series versions. still a great review though =)
Lol baltmatrix trying to film a vid and his cat walks in and try’s to continue but can’t cause he is blocking the camera and just stops talking for a second
just fyi man it's a good idea to avoid using the word "gypped" like that-- not a lot of people know this, but it has weird anti-romani origins. May not seem like a big dela to us in America, but romani people in europe gotta put up with a lot of racist bullshit. IDK if anyone watching this is going to be offended or offput, probably not since it's relatively obscure, but I try and people know whenever it pops up just in case
That’s a Titan class kitty for sure
Watching these toys shrink while prices go up is just lovely.
This has happened like 5 years ago they are just getting worse
@@alumlovescake I could care less
That's why I collect gundam more
Hopper wants his own CZcams show. Make it happen! :)
If emgo can do it baltmatrix should do it also

Of course ROTB continues the detailed faceplate thing as can be seen in the trailer, namely in the "Let them come" bit at the end.
Honestly i prefer when the faceplate has no detail on it. It feels more practical somehow
honestly if this mainline version is THIS good, i hope the Studio Series version won't be messed up.
Studio will just be a retool of BB Movie Prime. So it’ll be bigger, but not an all original mold like this one… which is part of why he’s fun. He’s much more simple than a lot of movieverse Primes, and people, including me, love that.

"Same width, definitely shorter."
... Balt, that's _kind of the entire POINT_ of a Cabover truck.
Since this figure is smaller than the average Prime, I would like to see an orange repaint/remold into Huffer.
Just remember this isn't Studio Series. The SS will be a full sized voyager as they will be using SS38 as a basis for the new RotB SS OP.
And sadly a target exclusive
You dont know if it’ll use the other version. I honestly hope it doesnt because it isnt that fun of a transformation
@@moomanchu608 they said it on the last TF Hasbro pulse stream a couple weeks ago.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, that cat is becoming balt’s mascot.
Not mascot, CEO!
Hopper wants to transform into a truck too.
Defintely my favourite Rise of the Beasts Mainline figure so far. It surprised me for sure and it looks incredible.
I think its great that like every other single transformers figure i have the voyager class Optimus Prime weapon fits perfectly
Awesome! that transformation is real good!
I know I keep saying this but I really need one of these! Great vid!!
Thanks man! If I find one I'll let you know.
This figure looks really fun to handle but I definitely see myself taking a Gundam marker to it and panel lining him to break up the grey a bit.
I love how Hopper keeps interrupting balt. He does this so often it's kinda a channel highlight
What I noticed during the vehicle comparisons is just how good the SS05 truck is, like damn, maybe that's why that's the mold they used for Premium Finish
This fig surprised me! Cant wait to get him
Hooper is so cute.
Wow Balt great review I currently am trying to find this figure as well
Lots of lovely details that just BEG to be custom-painted.
Neolab made an upgrade kit and painted mainline ROTB Optimus, it’s pretty cool: czcams.com/video/ZMhWA1FLYv4/video.html
I just picked one up for the size i love it its my first Prime i have bought since revenge of the fallen leader class Prime it is amazing to see the evolution of prime toys
Nice video as always :)
Then is the Kitty Hopper review being uploaded? 😸🚛
9:26 Awwwwww~.
I don't mind if Optimus's truck mode is shorter. Kinda look cute and compact.
The lack of paint is what turbs me off. Intink i'll wait for the studio series one
I'm planning on to get it. I thought it was funny when you decided to talk about the croch.
Size comparison was my favorite part of the video 😅🙌
Cool optimus honestly, but ima wait for SS before i buy this. I also wanted to say that this figure has an ab crunch
I got this figure for my 11th bday and its good lost the hip pieces where the front wheels are supposed to peg in but its no big deal.
It has a ab crunch. Great review
Interesting to see a review that paints this figure in a positive light. I've seen a lot of complaints about the proportions, paint (or more accurately, the lack there of), and the hollow bits that say that this figure is a disappointment for the $40 price tag, and should be half that.
Beautiful, I'm getting this.
I’m not the one to fear, Prime. There is a darkness coming.
They did plan to put rub signs on the new figures but was abandoned because of it being a child toy.
One thing this has over the bumblebee movie Optimus Prime is that the legs don't come apart with the slightest provocation and I own two examples one I scored a resale shop for $15 because why the hell not and just like the one I bought new the legs also come apart
Also I think it's cute that your cat wanted to get in on the size comparisons
Edit I also want to compliment this figure on how good it looks in both modes
It's kinda nice that after years of just Studio Series and the cheaper, gimmicky kids toys we're actually getting decent mainline movie toys again.
That's not knocking Studio Series or even some of the more kid focused stuff, but you know what I mean.
It's small.
There's a huge BUCKET on the truck.
Unpainted details.
But man, this is still so GOOD and feels good in hand.
Man when I went to Walmart the other day, they did not have any rise of the beast toys!
The ROTB mainline has different scaling than Studio Series, that's why SS 100 Bumblebee is almost as big as mainline ROTB Optimus. He'd most likely scale better with mainline ROTB Bumblebee.
This figure, a little taller, with more paint apps and a few more transformations steps will make the perfect figure
I love the figure well but the cat part was just the best lol 🤣 I just recently got mine rise of the beasts version of crime a couple days ago like I said I love the figure it's pretty good best
Those jutting parts on the forearms and smoke stacks don't bother you?
The overall look detail and articulation is good tho, thanks for the review. Hopper is adorable. My cat does the same when I'm on my phone lol
The smoke stacks are tight enough in bot mode that they don't bother me. I'm just clumsy. And i know this is going to sound weird but I never even notice the forearm parts. Maybe I've just gotten used to forearm kibble?
@baltmatrix ok nice glad they are tight. I mea t the gray triangle parts on them.
Oh I see, I understand, seems many have gotten used to the forearm kibble these days. For the price and size though, it ain't bad. Thanks for replying also mate 👍
Wow it looks so cool and nice.
Who are we kidding. This is a Deluxe sized OP.
Cool figure
10:05 Your Titans Return Prime looks a lot like Power of the Primes Optimus lol
He can be used as SS-38's vehicle double
The size for the price.. ehhh.
Does he at least justify it with good plastic quality? Kinda like Kingdom Primal, he was short and stocky but my word he felt chunky.
The transformation looks like a lot of fun, though! And that's what matters to me most.
The cat was actually a very good size comparison
Hopper you’re back!😭 btw review SS 101 Scourge!
Did your Bee's bumper already gone missing?
I like the figure, but being smaller than Earthrise Prime...I pan't pay that
I just need to find some energon blades and he would be almost perfect
He looks like he's made out of Lego
❤awesome review I might pick him up s8nce I never got the ss bumblebee prime and btw I love you cat ❤❤
To bad it’s fucking impossible to find . Went to Walmart’s 20 times in 2 weeks and can’t find shit and Walmart kept saying not available in back when presented barcode
He Does Look Awesome
We need more kitty for scale
A bit too much gray imo. Hope he isn't that gray in the movie.
Sucks it's getting smaller again. Passing on this one and waiting for the SS version
Hey Balt, at about the 11:50 mark you used the word "Jipped" which is actually a pretty offensive term to the Romani (otherwise known as gypsy) people, as it's a variation of the term "Gypped." I didn't know this myself until a month or so ago when my partner brought it up to me.
Though I do agree, the price point of the figure is pretty rough.
I was literally looking through comments to see it someone else brought this up. Kinda turns me off the channel tbh /:
I love this figure. It looks even better after i gave it gunmetal silver.
The face always has those proportions. The first version of this character had a fat face
It's amazing but the head NEEDS better head articulation. Not looking up or down hurts.
That prime is a little puny.
Oh my god the cat Hahahahaha thay are sooo cute ❤❤
I dont get it. Why Siege Prime has thick eyebrows in the truck mode? xD
I want this prime. For it is on my prime list.
If this thing had been bigger, they'd have had my money. But as it stands, it's kind of a piss-take.
I think they omit paint so they can do a premium edition with better paint sell it again
Yeah, size and paint app is lacking. Other than that, great.
Can somebody explain to me the ROTB mainline/SS situation? The mainline Airazor and Cheetor are totally different from the SS/movie looks as if they were designed for a cartoon or mobile game while the mainline Bumblebee is WAY bigger than his SS counterpart, now we got this almost deluxe size OP...what is going on here?
I’ve never really understood the whole gerwalk mode meme.
Prime party!!
My fingers hurt so much after transforming all those.
Did he review primal already?
What about the Comparison to the Bumblebee Adventures Prime?
Pretty cool but the color scheme is bothering me. Like it feels crazy unfinished like they stopped painting him halfway through
I have to ask why he is all Grey plastic, was that really a smart cost cutting move?
What is the longevity of the paint because of it?
Amen to the prices going up while the size of the figures keeps shrinking.
Cost cutting.
Kitty!
Nice
that cat of yours like showing up when it wants to doesn't it?
Yes it does.
1 left, I got the last one
Yeah, no. Not buying a Deluxe in disguise when it's a bayformer and I already have the superior WFCE and Legacy G2 OPs, not to mention literally twenty older Optimus Primes, and ES Warrior OP and SS Gamer OP (or as I call them, Orion Banner and Optimus Hulk) due to ship like, tomorrow.
Hopper just wants to help or he wants pets either or he deserves it.
Voyagers are getting smaller and smaller.
Let’s be honest Baltmatrix your cat stole the show lol.
This will be the best until Legacy Armada Optimus
the transformations is pretty cool but he is just too small for the price point. i found him today at Walmart but passed on him. he looks a bit dull in the paint department and his head looks like he messed with the witch doctor from Beetlejuice. so far all of these "main line" figures from RotB are an easy pass for me. i will wait for the Studio Series versions. still a great review though =)
RotB Optimus with Rub the crotch for a surprise! "feature"
edit: Looks great but Voyager price at a Deluxe size. :(
Saw a cat, gave the video a like. It's the law.
and...yet...you rub...there...
Eva Unit-01 repaint.
Caaaaaat!
I found this figure in my local mall. Fucking thieves. Here it costs 3000 (50+ usd) while in the US its much cheaper
Not paying 35 dollars for this.
I bet studio series rotb will be way better
Lol baltmatrix trying to film a vid and his cat walks in and try’s to continue but can’t cause he is blocking the camera and just stops talking for a second
Hehe cat
Too expensive for what we get. And prime of the year compared to? The only prime so far not counting gimmick figures
You are lucky you did not get chipped I did i pay for this optimus $49
just fyi man it's a good idea to avoid using the word "gypped" like that-- not a lot of people know this, but it has weird anti-romani origins. May not seem like a big dela to us in America, but romani people in europe gotta put up with a lot of racist bullshit. IDK if anyone watching this is going to be offended or offput, probably not since it's relatively obscure, but I try and people know whenever it pops up just in case
Glad someone pointed that out
