Unboxing Reaction and Review: Transformers Missing Link C-02 Optimus Prime

[@geekimus1]

I'd love to get this figure, the idea of modern articulation on a vintage figure is absolutely incredible to me

[@BotBenderOrinj]

Yeah, seriously tho, right?! The fandom had been homebrewing this for years now lol.

[@Chevyman3030]

Hasbro/takara did this cause they saw the radicons doing it & said: "hey we're losing money on this along with nostalgia baiting them too"

[@BotBenderOrinj]

RADICONS, UNITE! :D Yeah, I remember Frenzy Rumble going hard on a posable G1 Dinobot set!

1:08 It looks so satisfying in styrofoam, I know cardboard better for the environment but i kinda wish they made the clamshells in styrofoam still

[@BotBenderOrinj]

I know right? I'm right there with ya haha

[@bludesayo3651]

This quickly became my favorite Prime and sits on my desk for me to randomly grab and transform. It's amazing how much character the new articulation gives him. And yes, even though I opened this one I also have the C-01 still MISB for the value later on lol

[@BotBenderOrinj]

Nice nice :) Yeah, same. I picked up C-01 as well. Debating whether I'm gonna open it... but I think I will lol

[@sukmykrok3388]

It's about time Hasbro/Takara started doing this with classic figures! Mattel started doing that with their Masters of the Universe figures some time back! TRULY a wonderful time to be alive!

[@BotBenderOrinj]

Seriously! Took them long enuf hahah. I been enjoying MOTU's resurgence as well!

[@GrimLocke161]

It's very cool, but I don't want to own anything designed by Yuki Ohshima, the mangaka of Kiss Players. So, I'm glad that a 3P is working on an ML style Grimlock.

[@BotBenderOrinj]

It's up for preorder now!

[@GrimLocke161]

@@BotBenderOrinj Oh, it is up in the ‘Bee! Nice!

[@Cheesimusprime2012]

A complete ripoff and disappointment, too much money to get so little.
