    I own this specific Optimus Prime, had it for years. The arms have gotten a little loose over time, and I lost the matrix, but compared to the studio series and the newer voyagers, this one is still the best Optimus I've owned.

    No way this beats the leader class version. I never owned this figure, but I did have the leader class. The backpack is the main issue with this. The leader class handles it way better. This figure is hands down the best voyager Prime and probably the second best Bayverse Prime behind the leader class.

    I have this. It's like a more affordable version of a masterpiece optimus prime and shows how long of a way Hasbro really got from where they started with this version. It's so much more accurate than previous ones. The only issue is the ankles tend to detach a bit but it's such a good overall figure.

  • @MrPooPooJohn
    @MrPooPooJohn Před 2 lety +30

    This deserves the title of mini-masterpiece more than the studio series because it's literally a scaled down version of the mpm which was made out of the old leader class, that one was probably the best Optimus Prime Hasbro/Takara has ever made no wonder the voyager version is also dreadful

The original ROTF mold has two pieces that tab into the arm when transforming him into the truck mode. Whereas they got trimmed away due to design change on the DOTM mold.

    I think it is a very good figure, I mean, it has the transforming complexity as the leader class, but the back, although is very similar to the animation model, is very big. The studio series 32/44 has a better robot mode. But lets be honest, the vehicle mode of the battle blades is way superior

This lets me build the entire bayverse autobot fleet without breaking the bank.

    I've been waiting for this throwback so much, this figure is simply a Masterpiece shrunk down. I just got the Dark of the Moon version of this mold which comes with Cometor (the original HFTD version is too expensive for my wallet). And boy was it worth the wait, the fact that it manages to include the blades, integrate the ion blasters and even a movie-accurate matrix of leadership is so dope. And, as always, your content is impeccable, keep the amazing work and keep bringing these old movie classics back to the spotlight. I would love to see a remake of your Lugnut review with the pure white background :)
    PD: The roof also moves back to allow the head to get out of the chest, but you have to be careful with the sides of the truck so they don't get in the way.
