Nova Finally Gets A Good Toy…And It’s The Magnus Mould | #transformers Legacy Nova Prime Review - Zábava
Just to clarify Nova Prime was not one of the thirteen primes. He’s the first prime that came after them.
the hit sequel to Prima that nobody wanted!
In my head canon he is one of the 13 because I don’t like Optimus being one of them like he’s some kind of chosen one. Which yes he always is a chosen one since he is a prime but he was chosen because of his morals and actions and not because of some pre destined prophecy.
Is he directly after? I know he's an old prime but was he directly after the thirteen?
just use logos instead of optimus then@@yeeessimusprime3422
@@TinyRobotED-tm9rsi always thought he was like maybe 5 primes removed from Optimus I guess you would put it 😂
The reason the siege Magnus mold has slanted feet is because the wheels are attached to them. The slant allows the wheels to touch the ground in vehicle mode and not in robot mode without adding extra parts and transformation steps.
A good cost-effective reason for the.
Not the laziest engineering but def has to be a last minute thing for a figure this expensive
I think that this is by far the mould's best use, a good (hopefully) farewell to the siege Magnus mould now that the 86 one is here.
Is… is the word not mold? Both the title and this comment use the mould form of the word and now I’m confused cus I always thought mold was the word to apply to tf figure molds.
@@Supreme-Being-8both are okay, mold is American way of saying mould
I use British English sometimes. I always say Favourite and Colour instead of Favorite and Color
86 Magnus from images looks like an improvement... but not $30 price hike increase. It also bugs me as a fan of SG, that unlike 86 Ironhide & ER Ironhide where you can mix the molds to enough effect to not make the other look too out of place (say SG Ratchet, and 86 Ratchet as I don't know they're gonna upgrade SG Ratchet or DK-2 Guard into the 86 mold), 86 Magnus stands at least a head or more taller than ER Magnus, as such unless SG Magnus gets redone, he's inexplicably shorter than 86 Magnus and I'm not certain why they did that.
@donnafreely8071they said that already
@@felipevaldes3487No it isn't. "Mold" is specifically when referring to the toxic substance that grows typically on old food.
"Mould" is the proper spelling when talking about "moulding" something such as clay, plastic, or metal, among other things.
I think this is an acceptable official version of Nova Prime and I think a ice 3rd party upgrade to fill in gaps and give us some bigger wings will do wonders for it.
One theory for why the ankles are permanently slanted on every version of this mold is that they needed to be for wheel clearance. The wheels on his feet needed room so they weren't touching the ground in Robot mode. I think the designerd just decided to make the ankles slanted so the wheels would be above the ground ever so slightly.
It's not a theory lmao that's legit the reason they did it
@@x_Star.Saber_x oh, ok. I wasn't sure if that was the definite reason or not. Thanks 👍
@@braydenpage1808 I gotchu broski 👌🏼👌🏼
If they do a legacy fallen, I hope they use the design from the dreamwave comics that design is awesome
I think this was the perfect way to use the galaxy upgrade mold. I grew up with galaxy force, and its what got me into transformers, but goddam did the galaxy upgrade not do it for me.
Nova Prime was the first time I got introduced to the "autocratic evil prime" concept and by god it was cool. I'm gonna try and find this guy because he looks sick
Tiny nitpick:
Nova is *NOT* one of the 13 Primes. He's one of the Primes that carried the Matrix and ruled over Cybertron before Zeta, Sentinel, and Optimus.
Sorry, super into the comics so stuff like this gets me at times. Anyway, great review!
They later introduced "Nominus". I think he was the first 'Prime' to be a jet. I kind of wish the Nova 'Major' mold had a slightly different head though.
Now this mold fits Nova Prime better than Ultra Magnus.
If Mark, the guy in charge loves obscure characters that means we could possibly get more IDW characters like Nautica
They did a Nautica. Blur / Arcee/ Nautica, PotP eara.
@@kram67kramyes.... 6 years ago! And it was a blurr retool. We need another naitica. Because Nautica is best girl.
@@returnedtomonkey8886 be fair. It was the best Arcee we ever got. And it was a good Nautica ( the blur was ok) . But you need to be careful what you wish for. We wanted a cyberverse Shadowstiker and they gave us the R.I.D. Shadowstiker with the cyberverse head, so they can do the Roulette and sideburn repaints. How bad of a repaint could you live with? We were lucky to get a version of Nautica as good as we got. Even third party passed.
@@kram67kram i'd live with another blurr repaint if it's of ss86 blurr
@@returnedtomonkey8886 yeah see, me myself and probably just I , actually like the PotP Blur better. Just less kibble. The head master (ugh) sry PotP play ability is something I always liked. (I'm old still have my OG snapdragon from when I was a kid. I was thrilled to get the PotP line. And that kibble on the wrist crap is just bad. I know it's me I'm the .... You heard that enough. Sry.
I have the same tightness problems. The chest being hard to open and the wings being hard to unclip. Other than that and the usual Magnus mould issues, I love it
I like the mold that they chose for him, it just fits perfectly and has his wings.
I like this more than the original galaxy prime
Same
Nova Prime was not one of the thirteen original Transformers. He’s the first Prime that came after them.
I actually love the Siege Ultra Magnus mold. I'm actually passing on 86 commander class Magnus because I already have the Spoiler edition Ultra Magnus and I absolutely love that figure. So I have no need for another Magnus. Plus Spoiler Magnus was only $35 on BBTS which is a steal for that set.
Some people like anchovies and pineapple on pizza. You do you.
@@dwtunchained217 To each their own man.
Waiting for legacy Leige maximo. Hopefully it happens
Nova prime isn’t actually one of the 13 I think you’re confusing him with prima prime who was the first transformer created by Primus (in lore)
Nova is like Megatron before Decepticons existed or something
either way he has the best use of the Magnus Mold. got him on Friday and boy does he look good
I think he is not one of the original 13 in the comics, at least in IDW continuity, as for Devastation, I dont know how they handled im in that continuity
From what little they gave in Devastation he a great leader that led to creating colony for Cybertron out of inhabitant planets, but something corrupted him after making a short trip on a strange planet (implied to be Unicron) made him start terraforming planets with other life. But Kranix a member of his crew crashed the ship into earth to stop Nova.
I'm curious to see what the upgrade kit for this will be like. I hope they somehow make the nova prime feet more proportional to the body. That, and they fill the hollowed-out parts.
My guy,,,, nova prime wasn’t one of the 13 primes- you’re thinking of prima. Nova prime was the predecessor to sentinel prime iirc- and the reason it’s the devastation design is because it’s the same as his idw design.
Hey, sorry, gotta be that guy who points out that Nova Prime's not one of the 13. He was known as Nova Major when the 13 were still around.
Despite the end credit teaser, I don't know that there ever was a plan to make a sequel to Transformers Devastation. It was released near the end of Activision's licensing deal, and pretty much everything PlatinumGames has done outside of Bayonetta has been a one-and-done release.
(The closest cases to exceptions would probably be Max Anarchy/Anarchy Reigns at best being an alternate universe that just happens to have its own version of some MadWorld characters, Star Fox Guard was a bonus game packaged with Star Fox Zero, and The Wonderful One was bonus DLC for Wonderful 101 Remastered.)
Finally he gets a toy that's not botcon
Nova is not part of the 13 primes btw He was the first person to get the matrix after the prime left
I know it’s gonna be an amazing vid, can’t wait to see it later, amazing Transformers creator, just…amazing 😊
Speaking of Transformers games, Hasbro announced that future games for the next three years will be targeted for kids and teens. But once Activision-Blizzard becomes part of Microsoft, the Transformers published by Activision will be back on modern platforms.
Yeah this guy looks sick in this mold. Ima get him when I can. Keep up the dope reviews my dude.
This mold looks awesome
I have the Galaxy OPs mold now! (This version) I kinda wish they’d figure out something to flip the hands to turn into smaller hands for the core robot.
Ever since the Galaxy Upgrade OP came out, people have been suggesting it for Nova Prime. I always hated the idea. I thought it was bulky and ill-fitting.
Now that he’s here, though, I find myself in love with this version. I’m so surprised how well the mold suits him.
the reason his feet are slanted is because if they weren't - then the wheels would've stick down below the foot levels, cause that's how it is on the oversized knock off which "fixes" this issue
also you got his crotch backwards
Hey bro, where did you get that star saber ??
I want it for my own Nova prime
I really hope that they make his Nemesis Nova Prime as well I wanna see this mold in Navy Blue or even Purple and with the Black Wings yes please 👌😭 I would dig that so much ! i would probably imagine it would be an Exclusive as well but I just want to see this mold in Navy Blue or even Purple so bad 🙏
what is that golden star saber from? looks great with him
10:13 I’ll raise you: a core class micronus
Where did you get that cool orange sword?
I don't know about ALL of the different versions of Nova Prime, but the version I know of was a previous Matrix bearer who was a xenophobic megalomaniac who ended up in the Dead Universe and was corrupted even further by it, becoming Nemesis Prime in that continuity. His original design had him as a "hypothetical retool" of Energon Rodimus with a trailer added (supposedly why Rodimus has a trailer hitch despite not having a trailer). This one does a really good job of getting the Nova Prime look, but I kinda wish we could get one based on his original design.
The design wasn’t from Energon Rodimus retool. Just Figueroa reusing a rejected Optimus design and replacing the head with what EJ Stuart that teased his existence
@@JohnWilliams-wl9px I know it was originally meant to be Optimus before being reused for Nova, I forgot to mention that part. But the core truck and its transformation were still very similar to Rodimus. Maybe it's more like how Energon Starscream wasn't literally a retool of Machine Wars Dreadwind, just a case of using a known good design as a basis and changing it where necessary.
I’ve always wanted a version of this mold, and i’m glad the version i chose to get was Nova Prime.
I was so close to buying a G.U. Optimus Prime online for $80, but i saw this was in stock on amazon for cheaper and bought this instead
I wish the backpack guns had a peg to attach to. The guns on my galaxy upgrade prime have gotten loose and fall down. Also how do you tighten the arms and joints on these figures
I hope we get figures for some of the enemies in the game, that would be dope.
Actually the feet are already tilted in order to get the wheels off the ground in robot mode without ingeneering. For 86 studio series Ultra Magnus, Hasbro has been less lazy. Oh, i'm not the first to tell you...
I also had the chest tightness and such, too!
when i needed a good review of this guy, he be there
Here’s a tip for transforming the Galaxy upgrade Optimus from truck to robot(and probably Nova, since I don’t know how it wouldn’t work) when taking the leg armor off the back.
Think of it like a hinge holding the top in place while moving the feet forward to detach them from those two circular peg things, then push down from the point you’re holding in place; doing both at the same time also works, just don’t try and pull them straight off or apply any upward pressure while trying to remove it.
Legacy Megatronus based on his Prime Wats Trilogy design it's something I would like to pay for
I think Nova was a leader of a crew that included galvatron and went to explore the dead universe but got turned evil so Nova became this herold/tyrant to spread the dead universe but was stopped. I have this guy on preorder cause it was a big surprise this was being made and I know secondary prices will be nutty BUT I hope hasbro has gotten the yellowing issue under control cause this and 86 Magnus will be a pain if they yellow
He was but he also was the first prime after the 13 Primes left and was leader in what was dubbed ‘The Golden Age’.
Where’d you get that Black and Yellow Star Saber from
I want to get this figure so badly after everyone saw better pics then those crappy hasbro stock photos that made him look fat and short even in combined mode but those wings are so small compared to what they where in the game and the comics. When I have the money to get him I so hope he get a wing upgrade set for him so he looks even more like the nova prime we know
It's looks really cool and I definitely would've gotten it if I didn't already have cw battlecore prime with the nova prime upgrade kit
Nova isn't one of the Thirteen.
I'm planning on picking this guy up. I seem to like collecting retools and repaints of Optimus Prime without actually getting an Optimus. The Legacy RID Scourge is the only Laser Prime mold I have, too.
As a note, he's 30% off with Prime membership on Amazon right now, or was for the past couple days. I'd passed on all the remolds after Siege Magnus (and used rubbing alcohol to "Condition 11" him free of the "battle damage" splatter) because I still have orioginal Galaxy Convoy and ER was too minor a change to bother with. I would have gone for the PM Optimus version but it was too expensive the only times I saw one for sale. I'm quite happy to have picked up this guy, though looking him up it seems he was more the TF version of Alexander of Macedon or maybe approaching Hitler (went out to conquer the universe for an empire, cyberformed inhabited worlds to make them suitable for Cybertronian life instead, then got into some kind of alternate universe/be the super-zombie plot that I didn't follow the details of very well when it was explained) than the combination Spartacus/George Washington I had thought. Eh, whatever, it's still a cool toy 🙃
Yes I agree and yes we need a legacy megatronus in origin design, not BV
I tried transforming him without instructions because I'm very familiar with the Siege/Kingdom Magnus mold.
The very first second I tried, I was stumped on those armor legs panels that were very, VERY stiff......................... Until I realised they are SCREWED IN PLACE. The other bits were different too. So I had no choice but to look at the instructions.
I’m worried about his legs separating due to that clip the wings get stuck to.
Seeing one of his videos in the first 20 mins of upload. This is a cool figure
I love this toy so much. Fav of the year so far.
Honestly wouldn’t mind seeing an apex armour sentinel with this mold
the feet are this way because if they were flat the wheels wouldn't work in truck mode, or he would roll in bot mode
It col how the core robot kinda references shattered glass nova who was a unicron empowered SG optimus prime who turned good
dude his sword is the tfp star saber and i hope that they do a tfp optimus at some point and it has it
I have this guy ordered, and I'm hoping for a DNA kit to make him even cooler.
A Sword would be really nice.
I really hope they make the figures for prime wars Megatronus, Solus and mistress of flame for legacy
bro that click is like asmr ngl
Will you ever do a review of Dragon Megatron?
TFC already had a Nova Prime ready for pre order. Dunno why they went with a Nemesis color scheme first. It just looks like Nova Prime.
Hey, man, I love your work, another great review, but wanted to say just one thing: if you have scars or bruises on your hands, please use some gloves or cover them with band aids, I thing it was Emgo who said something about this years ago, they can be really distracting.. again, all your work is really great, but please just keep this in mind for the future!
It's a skin condition and I can't cover it or it gets worse. So it's gonna be there and ur just gonna have to ignore it.
If you got the combiner wars white optimus prime, I highly recommend the primo x mortis upgrade kit that turns it into nova prime
Uh... Nova ain't one of the 13, he never has been, he's one of the first, usually *the* first, Prime to come after them
Slanted feet are cuz the wheels would hit the ground and roll if they were straight
For Galaxy Prime you just lift the big legs up and they pop off easily, or its down I forget.
Yea careful with the clips the wings plugging into, my galaxy primes clips had a clip that stressed
I've got to ask this: does he have the flight mode while in truck mode?
Did anybody ever figure out what those clips on the back of the thighs were for? I don't have this or the Galaxy Prime mould, but I could never figure out what the clips on the back of his thighs were for. The trailers for all three (Nova, Galaxy and Magnus) are just remoulds of each other, so I never figured out what the clips were for.
Tbh for me it's prolly gonna be in my top five 5 figures of the year since i grew up on deavastion
I think you mixed up Nova Prime with Prima? Nova wasn't one of the 13.
My copies chest also has a hard time opening to the point where I have not slipped out its head I'm too scared I'm going to break it
I would like to see if someone can compare it to Maketoys Hypernovae.
I just got a DS lite. Also what happened to your hand?
only thing it needs is a sword, i see you have a yellow one there, which one is that?
Tight. I need to get one.
i love this mold i prefer the siege magnus and kingdom over the 86 studio series one and i didnt have the problems with that with my magnus's
I got Nova Prime because in some Shattered Glass comic Unicron Reformatted Optimus into Nova Prime like Megatron to Galvatron
i think the nova mold uses harder plastic since mines chest is hard to open too
Is from the transformers devastation videogame that I was waiting four a good toy😅
Why do those bigger cannons have to be hollowed
I literally just got mine in the mail like a hour ago
Yall forgst about seraphicus prominon? That figure was amazing
This guy is the best use of the mold.
9:55 Is there a difference between "Devastion" and comic book designs of Nova?
I just got this as a prize hes great do wish he had a different head not just prime hell take the horns or ears off in base robot mode
It's basically the earth rise ultra magnus
I mean, since the whole Microsoft and Activision situation is coming to an end, they said they might re-release the TF games. Who knows, maybe there is a small hope for a sequel for Devastation.
Now that we have Nova Prime we need Megatronus Prime (the fallan prime)
im actully getting this and it looks spicy
wait this is a retail release?
I hate how good his proportions look on the box 💀
Nova isn't one of the 13
He's just a prime
I know alot of people dont like the mold but i love it the white prime is my favorite part even though the ss one looks amazing i probably wont be getting it because it doesn't have the white prime
