Why Did This Concept Take So Long To Make?? | #transformers Missing Link Optimus Prime - Zábava
There was the joke of "generations is g1 with knees"
Now we got the literal g1 with knees
G1 Prime had knees. This is more G1 with forward motion in the legs
@@lukasgemmill8084 most g1 figures didn't have knees, also, congratulations for missing the joke completely
@@bumbleprime7713 Exactly. Honestly, most G1 were bricks with rotating shoulders, and elbows, if you were lucky. Even better would be those with rotating wrists. But 99% of them were solid from the chest down. Most of them did not even have moving heads. The only thing Prime had going for him in robot mode was moveable shoulders, elbows, and wrists (considering that the fists were plug in). No neck rotation, no waste, hips, knees or feet.
@@bumbleprime7713 - Yes, G1 had toys with varying degrees of articulation but considering the video is about Optimus Prime, which the original G1 had knees anyway, the joke failed.
@@dobbear nvm apparently I didn't put the context of the video into the comment
“shut up and take my money”
“SHUT UP AND TAKE MY ENERGON!”
Wow😂
I was lucky enough to get the Toy deco version, trailer and all, and as someone who's never owned G1 toys before, I had an absolute blast with this thing. The core robot has been a consistent desk toy of mine - it's so fun to pose and flip back and forth between modes. The Anime deco looks surprisingly good, but I still prefer the paint on the Toy deco.
Also, G1 Optimus has anime blush lines under his eyes and I can never unsee it.
Rest in peace your wallet
What blush lines?
@@supercreativehandlenameJust underneath each eye, you can see three little diagonal lines sculpted underneath, they kinda look like an anime character blushing.
Granted, you have to get real close to the head to notice it.
I agree with the title. We need a whole line of these toys.
Imagine Jazz and the other cars, Inferno and Grapple, the combiners, Punch/Counterpunch, Sixshot, the Pretenders, with their shells,...
@@darrenbent7601remastered
@@darrenbent7601And Ironhide and Ratchet! Oh.....
The most bone chilling speech ever. "While this may vary well mark the end of the age of primes, leadership can be earned with or without the matrix, and in my view, you have each acted as a prime. As even Megatron has demonstrated on this day, every sentient being processes the capacity for change. I ask only this of you fellow Autobots, keep fighting the noblest of fights. Above all, do not lament my absence for in my spark I know that this is not the end but merely a new beginning, simple put, another transformation."
Now imagine a g1 ARTICULATED, devastator.
Part of this is eliminating partsforming, there's no way they could do that with a G1 combiner, ESPECIALLY not Devastator
It will, quite literally, fall apart cause that toy should be fucking burned
@@tracytron7162menasor look easy
Impossible, I own a complete G1 Devy and he combines in a way that ruins any chance of articulation. Other Combiners like Bruticus would be less hard but not easy.
@@Daxverto It still wouldn't work, the inherent blockiness of G1 combiners would completely hinder any articulation and would require them to make them significantly more streamlined and modernized, which would completely defeat the whole purpose to begin with.
I threw my foam out without going to the proper place and polluted the earth, don’t judge me
Considering the original legs just relied on the hip joint to stay together ( if I remember correctly there were also two plastic tabs under the cab that just encased the legs, no locking whatsoever), even your not perfectly locking ones are still improvement.
If they do make more articulated G1 figures, I'm wondering how in the Hell are they going to do the mini car bots
[Edit]
Holy shit! They ARE making missing link mini car bots!
I chose the G1 toy colors version with the trailer because I wanted an articulated G1 Prime with the trailer. After all, the Walmart G1 reissue from a few years ago didn't include the trailer or Roller.
You could give the walmart reissue the new trailer from ML
@@pugmasterben I don't think I'm going to do that. My Walmart G1 Prime has pretty heavy chrome wear.
@@pugmasterbenwhy would you do that
@@HardHeadtfreviews2008 Yeah. I'd have the reissue in truck mode with the trailer and the ML version in robot mode
and they were still charging 50 damn dollars for it bro😂
Love the figure and the music you used on the posing bit.
If it makes you feel any better I have no plan to get rid of the Styrofoam or packaging.
same here.
Yeah, why would anyone throw that out? As far as I'm concerned, it's part of the set.
That's cool, I wonder if other characters will get this treatment.
_looks at the G1 Mixmaster I got from a retro toy store_
Best thing about it is the hands are built in, not seperate pieces to get lost.
Still inaccurate and not worth the price.
I went for the toy version with the full trailer set. Gotta say, I do agree with the waist rotation critique and the legs can be a bit finicky when going back to truck form, but this is otherwise gotta be one of my favorite Primes now. I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s just a joy to mess with and flip back and forth to truck and bot mods. The posing and updated weapons are stellar. It’s some solid engineering with all the charm of the original toy.
3:41 the head rotates is an upgrade of the original
3:54 Better shoulders
4:34 Wow! The original has a spring based elbow joint that is stif and tends to break.
5:11 That ab crouch is awesome.
5:36 The slightly rotating waist is just a bonus.
6:30 Finally hips movility, and the ratched knee is so sweet.
7:15 the original head was just screwed in the original toy, so the fact it can rotate is a win win...
8:06 Yes... That was the most annoying part of the original toy. The original hips have some twisted gears mechanism that is the fatal flaw of the toy, in a point if you're not careful, you can split it in two by accident...
Overall is too expensive, but... Is one of those things that a fan of G1 would apreciate.
P.S. Just dreamin' but I hope they release a Megatron G1 like this one, but all we know that never gonna happens again...
Having the legs lock in is such a smart way of doing that. My g1 prime is a mess so his legs flop down in both modes.
Awesome to see this version with the stickers! Thanks!
G2 Silverbolt during the "i like g1" shot
"shut up and take my FUCKING money and give me this masterpiece of art"
The ironic thing is that g1 fort Max was the most posable g1 toy
I really hope we start getting more of these. Like I’d love if we essentially modernized the whole original G1 line like how we’ve been doing the Masterpiece series ones
I decided to get the 2002 collection one for an accurate toy feel while also getting extra accessories because it means I have to get creative with how I do things.
On my Optimus prime it does the same with knees and other ones as well
It’s almost a kind of cool version of the uncanny valley, where it’s just *off* to see, but instead of being creepy it’s cool
Didnt know optimus was a decepticon (thumbnail)
Nemesis Prime.
So it can do all the things that my nostalgia lies to me about my original doing when I was a kid? YES
I appreciate you mentioning the price in this great review. I’d like to pick it up 🤔
I can't wait until they start releasing accurate prime toys
Glad i bought mine when i did.
Went for the anime colour version as that looks nicer, was cheaper and doesn't have a giant grey box taking up space when i have little to spare.
This is fantastic!
I got the "toy" version with the trailer. So worth it!
At a recent comic con I got G1 Optimus and the trailer for a decent-ish price and even though it’s a little busted it still happy I got a vintage one. My only problem is that it’s scary to handle! The arms are so scary to move in and out during transformation. He’s staying in robot mode 😂
PLASTIC AND FOAM IS GREAT! i hate economic transformers new boxes becaouse they just look like a childs toy instead of a collectors item. i mean for me .transformers legacy are more of a childs toy than a collectors item because they feel like a crappy dollar store toy
Need this in my life now
10:04 THE HOMESTAR RUNNER???
YO GOT RID OF THE BOX!!??? 😱😱😱😱😱☠️☠️☠️
9:57 Goomba Prime
was waiting for your review i saw an influx of review on this guy it was interesting i preordered mine from BTTS which its supposed to be coming into their warehouse soon (i hope) i think i still have my G1 reissue trailer (but lost prime) so can’t wait to complete the set lol
Thats it, this is the best version of optimus' secret alternate mode... NOW HE IS TRULEY... TRUCK MAN!!! 9:58
Glad I got the toy-akkurate version to pair with my original '84 Prime. That being said, it's staying unopened in the box in the closet until they update Jazz and Bumblebee. 'Till all are articulated.
I would not hold my breath on Bumblebee. The G1 toy is REALLY small and the wheels get in the way of any additional articulation. Plus the head being on a flap means it probably won't have any real options for adding a neck swivel.
All that said, Jazz is a good candidate for the upgrade.
@@OtakuUnitedStudioironhide and ratchet (try to) say hello!
@@OtakuUnitedStudioyeah about that bumblebee…..
I love G1 Prime so I need this figure!!
Now we need articulated versions of Bee and Megatron
I swear if they make more of these I am going to go bankrupt. Especially if they make diaclone color repaints. God would I love a Magnus of these in the Diaclone colors!
I had multipleG1 Primes, but the main one I have on my shelf is a New Year's Prime, which came in a Japanese Box with a pewter Matrix on a chain (as a necklace). But it has all the parts and looks good. It's been sitting in Truck Mode for over a decade, and now I have a LEGO Optimus that's sitting next to it ,also in Truck Mode. And then I have Cybertron Optimus on the top shelf in full Super Robot Mode, with Optimal Optimus Primal next to it in Robot Mode.
Besides your personal copy issues, it doesn't get any more perfect than this.
Even if I unbox this guy, I'm keeping the packaging, styrofoam and all.
I want to see a soundwave version of this!!!!
You're still sick??? I got friggin pneumonia dude
I think they were waiting for a big event for transformers to make a fully articulated g1 toy and i got bit by the Hasbro qc goblin with my 86 arcee because one of the ankles is cracked and both ankles are yellowing after about a year or two after i got it
I decided to buy this, still waiting for it and i don't regret choosing to buy it
As someone who had a G1 Optimus prime new, a few limited points of articulation is nothing. This thing is light-years beyond the original and I can't wait to get mine to stand side by side with the original
Near perfection
This is good but im going to wait for the 40th anniversary Walmart edition one just to match with my other releases.
True, it you could also just get this and choose not to use the articulation
@@izzik2781 nah its not the articulation because I do wanna get it for that reason its just I don't want to spend even more money. Plus the Walmart one comes with a trailer I believe so would just stick to that tbh.
Get well soon man
I'm looking forward to the Legacy one
As an old person who was around for G1 and owned a fair few at the time I own none at all now but give me a mo sunstreaker or Megatron anyday
0:32 Oh, what's so scutty about the Brave Series, huh?
I hope we get a Missing Link Jazz
I’ll always see g1 prime and energon prime in the same light. It’s the torso that gets me every time on these two bots. Definite dad bods.
0:58 the one thing you don't get is the yellow eyes of the g1 prime.
I prefer the styrofoam packaging. It is nostalgic and protects the figure better than any other package out there. Most collectors are going to keep it like me, so the environmental complaint isn't that big of an issue. I am looking forward to getting mine.
The crotch on mine does the same where the legs don't tab together completely in truck mode. I got C-01 so the trailer helps the leg thing a little
I have a simple solution for the styrofoam problem - it's still in the box, and the box is in my closet. Why would I throw it out? As far as I'm concerned, it's part of the missing link experience. You don't throw away Collector Items box.
Liked for Homestar Runner mode
I absolutely love this guy one of the best toys of 2024 I have the toy version with trailer and its fantastic
I used to have the original version of this Optimus and ultra Magnus. However, I had to get rid of them for other reasons. However, in a few boxes I found in my garage, I found the trailer that went to the original toy, so I still have that. I might consider getting this.
Mr. Skinny legs
9:55 OptiSUS Prime
I hope the stickers actually last, I'm probably only gonna add the yellow ones to his belt to be more cartoon accurate
The C-01 version don't have stickers. All the old toy stickers are paint apps. It does come with stickers but they for trailer and stuff
@@randymerrick3347 I meant for C-02
Tbh I do really want this. But idk if it's worth $70
Yeah. I was considering getting this figure, but passed on it due to the price and me wanting to save money for the leaked/speculated ss86 commander version later this year.
@@HolyCow0273 that's valid honestly
you shoul totally get a g1 ultra magnus, i have one from my father and it is still one of the coolest toys in my collection. I know you like g1 figs, and it a fabulous figure. just a simple suggestion
$70 canadiaLand, home of m.a.i.d?
Meanwhile down in oz, $120.
And our $$ is damn similar??
10:03 Homestar Prime!
I wish them luck trying to make a bumblebee
My dad used to have the original optimus prime figure but me and my older brother messed it up..
Toy Guy if you ever get the original G1 Hot Rod and G1 Rodimus Prime toys please review them together in a video please 😊
That's the plan lol
Just found out on mine that the smokestacks pivot.
Forward in robot mode and outward in truck mode.
I don't know why they do this but maybe they's robot cannons?
The vintage did it too. No real purpose, the joint just allows for it
@@CarRobots But it isn't a case of the parts swiveling on their pegs cos they can't move any further. There's something in the shoulder stopping them at a 90 degree swivel.
@fishpop interesting. I'll have to mess with it when I get mine in hand hopefully later this month
They had to wait 40 years to actually improve the Original Optimus? Hasbro/Takara are just full of it.
If I have a chance I'll buy it. Regards.
And now we have a legacy unidades version
If they do this for power master prime I will cry tiers of joy then buy three of em
Personally i think the toy version of this is better than the cartoon version since to me, it just looks wrong to have it in the cartoon colours.
geewun 👍
I want this guy to bad and he’s so cool
Yeah, I’m late on seeing this. I wanted to check out a good review, so I figured you had one. Holy cow! Unbelievable! It’s my G1 Optimus Prime, with articulation, and a wicked axe. Dude no worries about comparison. He looks just like G1. Seriously, dude! Enjoy, and get well soon. Colds really suck…
BBTS is taking forever to ship mine...
Very few people will get rid of the box for these sort of things, just unfortunate you had to.
What I've done is, put another basic G1 Prime back in the box to have Missing Link on display.
this is what the masterpiece line would look like in the 80s😅
10:00
Optimus became optimum preim
I want with trailer, eould be great for earthrise Optimus, but holy cow expensive!
So awesome but we will never get a G1 Megatron
Japan might and we can just import it. Gotta have a megs to go with prime
Also the use of styrofoam is amazing. It allows you to store the figure back in its beautiful packaging and is an awesome throw back. It literally is there for collectors. Bubbles don't allow for that, especially if they opted to recreate the vintage bubbles of the original US G1 releases
I have the original 1984 Optimus Prime Toy!
And you know they probably aren't going to do a megs because of guns
What I don’t get why Hasbro doesn’t import it to the west though. Is there any good reason for this to be japan exclusive?
I want one, but it probably will rise a lot of price having the “double” import thing if I buy it in BBTS, or Kapow….
If they really wanted this to emulate the cartoon, the head sculpt should have been completely redone to be more screen accurate, like they did for Music Label Optimus.
I personally don't care about the styrofoam
Me: (waiting on my BBTS pre order)
Reviewers: (do what they do)
Me: “hurry up BBTS!!!!”
Me too lol
10:04 😂😂😂
10:03 among us prime
Yeeeeeaaa I'm not spending rm 400 for this.........I'm not spending rm 110 on the deluxe too
G1 INACCURATE OPTIMUS. 😂
