    This Toy alone inspired generations for 40 years. Optimus Prime is the definition of a real hero and a fatherly figure. I was very happy when finally this prime got a another spotlight and a throwback to the original. Every time i look at this figure it reminds me of the phrase ''If your gonna be a hero Peter , Be a real hero. Be strong enough to be gentle ''.

    As someone who got the original when I was a kid back in the '80s, this toy makes me so happy. This IS Optimus Prime. He existed before the cartoon. The blue-eyed cartoon version was basically the commercial misrepresenting the product it was trying to sell.
    I also love how authentically '80s that chromed Matrix chamber looks even though the original didn't have it.

  • @Jason-lw7tk
    @Jason-lw7tk Před 4 měsíci +22

    The nostalgia is off the charts but, for me, Earthrise Prime is the GOAT! I was 10 when Transformers arrived so the G1 figures flood me with good memories. But what's great about the more recent figures (War for Cybertron and the like) is they look and pose the way I imagined the G1 figures did when I was a kid. They were great but so static and rarely looked the way they did in the cartoon it required a lot of imagination. It was cartoon first, toys second for me, so the more they look like they did in the toon, the happier I am :)

    Personally, as a guy that grew up with G1 toys I can say that diecast and chrome plating aren't all they're cracked up to be. I was always frustrated by chipped paint and rubbed off chrome as a kid. I'll always take color molded plastic and paint any day...that being said, I still have the toy colored figure on order because hell yes I do!

    The graphics on the trailer are not tampos. They really seem like they are, but they are in fact stickers. Mine were on slightly off center, and I managed to slightly peel one of the corners. You can feel the screw holes behind the stripes on the outside too. I applied the stickers from the sheet to the trailer, and they too also come off looking like tampos

    The talk about die-cast being integrated because of perceived quality is pretty mistaken. The original toys used die-cast in their production because, at the time, die-cast came out cheaper than plastic! All of this because of the big oil crisis of the 1970's, and not because Takara/Hasbro wanted to produce a higher-quality product.
    They did what they do today, they went with the cheapest option available, in order to maximize profits. The thing companies almost always do.
