Amazon I Mean G2 I Mean Holiday Optimus Prime | #transformers Holiday Optimus Prime Review

[@cinnamonbun1379]

It's important to note that leader class boxes are so big because it gives off the impression of having more value and also takes up more shelf space at retail, which means that's space that won't go to competing companies (back in the 80s, massive products such as USS Flag, Fortress Maximus, and Eternia were all part of this far for shelf space at retail)

[@ThatToyGuy]

I know, that's why I said the only issue I see with the shrinking if they did it would be shelf presence. You wouldn't notice them as often as a current leader so they would have to get creative with it if they hypothetically did do it

I still can't believe that after a year or so of everyone assuming the Amazon truck Optimus had been cancelled, it just shows up out of nowhere in a Christmas deco. Never would've expected it. I'm not the biggest fan of the Christmas deco, but if they repaint this I think I'll have to pick it up. The shoulder-wheels are VERY The War Within, I dig it.

[@Jayce_Alexander]

I'm Orthodox and we don't celebrate Christmas till January 7th. So let's just say you made this video for your Orthodox viewers. 😉 That head sculpt looks VERY striking. Overall it looks like a really nice figure. I'm slowly getting of getting out of the whole CHUG scene due to disappointment in recent Hasbro products and focusing my attention on 3P instead (and the Haslab stuff, which has yet to let me down), but I might just pick this one up.

[@shiny9690]

3:12 from the people who brought you the pencil tap, we present...the Optimus Slam This figure's general shape really reminds me of Energon Optimus for some reason, if Energon Optimus didn't have a beer gut lol

[@Derp_Foxxo]

i don't why, but i think in the future hasbro could or would use that truck mold for the optimus from AOE and TLK

[@Nemesis_Slime]

That plastic test 🤣🤣🤣

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

This was a surprising figure, I initially thought that this would just be a Christmas themed cash grab but turned out to be great. I’m glad I picked this up and hope that it gets repainted into a future Legacy toy, most likely! Happy new year everyone!

[@spaecii]

Could see them remaking this into like a Legacy-fied Bayverse or Prime Optimus

[@ecming7004]

well i wanted this for christmas....... i didnt get it.but i got the universe 2000 rid scourge which is shown in this vid but i still cant find this on amazon to also that headmode just looks so remenisent of the optimus from the transformers seige show head

[@MellowGaming]

He's a proper good figure. The legs do so much in ways I didn't expect. Confused me a little first time I was transforming it. Ends up so clean in bot mode. You can tab the flap that goes over his head into the back of the head in truck mode to hold it all in place. Although the wheel arch bits will still move about a bit.

[@ToaKoran]

I will say that I wish they somehow had the backs of the legs collapsed in a bit more, maybe using that to fill in the insides of the legs instead, but really this thing is a fantastic Prime mold. The only thing keeping me from buying it is I don't like the colors, but if they release this in any other cohesive color combination then it's an instant buy from me.

[@Robo_Italianman]

I got this for Christmas and I was blown away and I love this figure it goes from a robot to a Hess truck lookalike and I give this a 10/10

[@Dreamyblue101]

Unique engineering, moulds, and details man, just as better than the other laser primes

[@enrique6335]

If nothing else, that head mold seems to be the closest they've gotten to the 80's animation model outside of Masterpiece. It looks great.

[@ThePuff18]

I think the funniest ideas I can think of to improve this lad are to either a) Give him a tiny version of his packaging to hold as a reference to Amazonus Prime Or b) Paint his feet to be stockings. Would it be ugly? Yes. Would it be funny? *yes.*

[@leosierras9643]

I would live to see this guy get a Movie repaint, or any repaint in general since this deserves it.

I'm going to defend the legs because this transformer returns to the old pattern where it looks like they transform. Vehicle bits that give you a tell they aren't taking alien forms anymore.

If you want that beast hunters Optimus, ask an argentine for help, there's overstock of prime figures for some reason (I bought beast hunters soundwave in mint condition the past week for like 20 bucks) so there's a chance the Optimus you are looking for is covered in dust at some store in Argentina

[@JadeMythriil]

I really hope we'll be getting a Hero Optimus repaint of this.

[@jkliao6486]

I really wonder what prime they are gonna release next. This seems like too expensive of a mold to be used just once. Maybe they can retool this thing into a commander class magnus? I'm really interested in the potential now, but not the commander magnus. That still seems to be a wasted slot for me.

Suddenly this became one of the top primes ever and it's just a holiday special toy! This is amazing! Also, it's an incredible treat for the painters and modders cause I know damn well someone is gonna modify this with the proper prime paint and make a hyper realistic Volvo Optimus with trailer.

I wish I could get this in Italy, but hey, apparently TF is not something you can have in Italy :) (stores never really have them, and when they do, it's just deluxe classes; also we don't get the exclusives..ah ah ah...) Still, I love this mold, and I hope it'll be used in the future for something else (truly, I'm hoping for this to be something like Amazon Prime...Prime)

[@S0n0fG0D]

Bro what are those legs? Dude can jump a skyscraper with them 💀

[@Piledriver2006]

I think the "problems" (being very, very subjective here) is that there entirely too much black in the figure. Some of it could've been painted in red like say, Optimus' sides in robot mode. The leg portion could've been compacted down more (the flaps flipping down and the top of the truck being able to be pushed down into the lower half, giving the legs that box look that goes with Prime's anatomy). Not really a fan of the wheel backpack, but it's way better than whatever the hell is going on with Skurge/Lazer Optimus' shoulders. I would've liked the design to pull away from the fo window chest plate, just have a red chassis with big ol' white Autobot symbol slathered in the middle. But again, this is all very very nitpicky. This is one hell of a redesign for Optimus and a pleasant surprise as an end of the year gift

I'm really hoping they release this mold with a different deco at some point. I haven't seen this thing anywhere in Perth yet and I'm not a fan of the colours or deco at all, but the engineering is fire and I wanna mess with it. Just sucks that because of the nature of how this thing came about I have no idea if there's any chance of it being released any other way
