I Can’t Believe This Thing Exists and It’s Wonderful |

[@wallywest2360]

I was very surprised that he transforms without disassembling. I assumed you would have to pretty much take him apart, reconfigure some stuff, and put him back together. Which sucks, but it's Lego after all so I'd be ok with it. But not only does he have the G1 style transformation, they even improved on it a bit. With the now typical waist twist so the legs look more accurate, and hiding the hands without removing them. Really hope the make other bots, and yeah, Soundwave would be an obvious choice. Takes me right back to my childhood. Prime and Soundwave were the first two Transformers I bought as a kid. Still have them.

[@jmurray1110]

Thankfully they didn’t go the kree-o route Though I do wish we didn’t need to mod the backside so moving tge kegs didn’t completely detach the waist

[@ChaoticJester]

Even though the waist is highly unstable given the gap that gets made with it.

[@Magmafrost13]

2:22 this set actually contains three new ratchet pieces already (the two halves of the ratchet used in the hip, as well as the 1x2x1 1/3 brick with ratchet socket). Some of them have appeared in one or two other sets over the past few months, but I wouldnt be surprised if they were designed specifically for this. Not to mention the face plate also being a new piece. And those hip pieces: yeah based on what I've read in the past about Lego parts engineering, those things were probably insanely expensive compared to the average piece to develop

[@ClintonMatos]

The face plate was used in a different colour in one of the botanical sets but like the ratchet pieces it's likely they were made for Optimus first.

[@NemesisTomato]

I think when judging a piece like this, you have to keep in mind that it's Lego first, Transformers second. When you think about it that way, it's truly amazing. Also, I would buy a Lego Soundwave in an instant. That is SUCH a good idea!

[@davevandebunte2949]

My wife bought me this for Fathers Day. Only complaint? No trailer, lol. However, I do have to point out, there IS a spot for the gun in truck mode. If you turn it round, so the barrel faces the back instead of the front, it fits right inbetween the legs, with the big part kind of tucked under the cabin.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

0:41 I'm sorry but, WHAAAAAT?!? how did you score that awesomeness?! Congrats!

[@ThatToyGuy]

Their marketing agency just emailed me out of the blue.

[@gyrrakavian]

Here's hoping some of the professional Legoformer builders get brought on board if this collab continues. There've been some pretty damned impressive Lego versions done of existing characters. Imagine a full on Star Saber set that even comes with a Jan Minakaze minifig.

[@funeralmotors2994]

6:50 geez, nailed it sooo good.

[@buffgoji2986]

I feel like the next set ( if we get it) will either bee bumblebee or Megatron. The catch with Megatron tho, he's probably going to be a tank, but a fictional one given LEGOs stance on war themes ( they make fictional tanks for star wars all the time). Hopefully this ain't the end tho

[@jonathanche6553]

They could probably do a sci-fi cybertronian tank, Hasbro could probably help them out with it.

[@AJLord]

And then someone (most likely either Ransom Fern or Alan Yap's Lego Transformers) is gonna figure out an alternate build where he transforms into a gun.

[@gg_mydog968]

@@jonathanche6553 Definetly I mean …. GUN !!!

[@slippinjenny7410]

Update, Bumblee is confirmed next!!

[@hopefulhamster5308]

2 years later we have our answer that bee is arriving

[@MrGojira95]

Lego Optimus and Bionicle video when? I wanna see Optimus interact with Tahu now.

[@gandalflotr2898]

I hope they do a crossover comic with the Characters from the Lego movie and ninjago and bionicle

[@mechanwhal6590]

I feel like Hot Rod might get along with Vakama.

[@stephenmusic69420]

i’ve never been into transformers but this is just so impressive that i’ll pick it up eventually. the fact that it actually transforms is so cool

[@kennythetrend3688]

I'd love to see a G1 Tank Megatron. That way, custom Lego builders can make it into the Gun version.

[@Bmans88]

Putting him next to Primus and Tidal Wave is the first size comparison that really helped me realize the sheer scale of this guy. Wow!

[@o.8.p149]

I really want this set and I can put it with my custom lego transformers

[@juusstis3664]

Kre-O actually made transformable figures, without parts-forming. I actually own most of them and it’s nearly impossible to find them all for sale

[@TheQwert221]

Love the cameos from Vezok and Keetongu in this one

[@Alzeal07]

I'm insanely jealous at anyone that got it early for free 😂 but that's amazing to see people like you get rewarded for their work

[@Justcallmeaqua420]

Here is the thing with the crotch plate, it would have been very difficult to do the "unplug, turn 180* and plug back in" type of deal because of how lego pieces work. I have some experience on that type of field when it comes to contact points, the bull joint related pieces would have been a bit of a mess to use for it as they are longer than the pole grabbers (the ones that connect to the rods of some pieces)

[@ADAMSTORM2005]

My dream was come true!! Yes! Finally LEGO Optimus Prime is here! Boi 😆

[@driveinband]

YES G|HE GOT IT! i cant wait for this to fully release, i have always dreamt of doing videos like this

[@Archonus]

His lack of knees absolutely kills it for me. Just ain't worth it.

[@josephhernandez8470]

Got this as a graduation gift for college and absolutely adore it! Sits front and center for my collection!

[@aidansedelnick4443]

The designer of this set was someone who once worked on Transformers Armada to I believe Thrilling 30 and is now part of the Lego Group

[@oscarmay3364]

Actually screamed when I saw my two favourite brands do a crossover

[@optimusprimegaming2968]

I would like to see lego's attempt to make a combiner. That can detach all of its limbs. And that then transform into smaller robots. Which can then turn into cars.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

I cannot wait to see the Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp versions. Hopefully Ramjet, Dirge, and Thrust come soon too.

[@Magmafrost13]

That really is exceedingly unlikely IMO. Realistically Lego isnt going to release more than 2 of these a year, more likely 1. And they'll first go through the characters who are the best combination of popular and simple. The license will expire long before they get to the cone-heads (who probably couldnt be built in a way that would pass Lego's stability standards to begin with)

[@sandwichdude97]

No way we’re getting any of those characters aside from Starscream. If we even get more Lego transformers they’ll probably do Bumblebee or Megatron or maaaybe Starscream

[@jmurray1110]

In fairness tge seekers have always been recolours of starscream so having them as options really wouldn’t be difficult for them outside of sourcing pieces And if only one exists the kid will be out in 12 hours

[@Magmafrost13]

I agree that Soundwave is probably the likely next installment in this line, assuming it continues. Especially because the new piece they designed for the faceplate would also be perfect for Soundwave's face

[@jmurray1110]

Not to mention his face is the basis of the deception logo Also I think it would be funny if they make a set that contains both frenzy and rubble but just refuse to identify which ones which

[@HighEffortUsername]

We got bumblebee, but I would expect soundwave after Megatron

[@Riom2500]

3:22 did optimus just flip me off?

[@healthnut3165]

Haha I thought I was the only one who picked up on that. My man is sneaky 😂

[@thebigboss1028]

A G1 Bumblebee would be next because he's so popular now and it would be easy to do a transformation for him

[@idkwhattosaysamehere5155]

really standers plus legs need to exist but the car needs to exist and bla bla bla

[@Benjamin0119]

When I saw this it really gave my vibes of the first Masterpiece Optimus. The look and size also the accessories he came with. I really want to get mine unpacked so I can compare him to the LEGO one. And yes this Optimus is HUGE! It must be the biggest Transformer I have besides Trypticon and Unicron! I hope there will be more LEGO Transformers too! Could LEGO get away with Megatron by the fact that a LEGO gun wouldn't look like a real one? Or maybe give the barrel and orange tip than we can switch out for gray off of Pick a Brick or Bricklink? Haha. Most of the military vehicles should be ok with LEGO's rule since they have colorful and unrealistic color schemes. LEGO has done plenty of similar jets as "stunt planes," which is how the Transformers jets look. Bitzwing light be a problem because of him being mostly tan in his tank mode, but I don't see how a LEGO triple changer would be possible anyway. Soundwave is definitely possible though, and I'd like to come not just with Laserbeak, but Rumble (in blue!) and Ravage, too! They can even use the same faceplate they used for Optimus haha. Oh, you put the ion blaster in backwards in the truck mode heh.

[@Whakeen0004]

All knell down to lego optimus 🙏

[@gtadk1237]

I honestly what I see other than the mp01 design and other than just g1 in general is the design from the transformers movie game 2001 the unlockable version of the G1 Optimus prime I get really heavy vibes from it

[@Jamesdukeofbuffalo-valonder]

I was sop happy when i found out this exists, transformers and lego were my favorite kinds of toys as a child.

[@romeosanchez3325]

A lego optimus primal that is fully transformable would be a dream come true

[@Bmontepeque11]

Funny thing, I didn't know about the kre-o Transformers set before looking at this at thinking "I can't believe this is the first Lego Transformers set!" that being said this is my dream come true 😂❤️

[@uainjansun]

Two of my favorite things into one. This is a masterpiece for sure hell even as a owner of MP-01 he looks better (except articulation wise) and is great

[@brianphan8209]

Brian Phan like this lego transformer truck 🚚

[@toyhunterslasvegas]

I just picked mine up. First in line at the Lego store in Vegas. Now to find blueprints for Prime's trailer! It's awesome by the way! Just think how cool some of the Triple Changers would be!? Astrotrain anybody?

[@ASHE_ATTACC]

"they can't do Megatron because..Guns" *gestures angrily towards Prime's gun*

[@twn_spriggan3320]

the gun can clip in place, you have to rotate it so the bottom faces up, flip the handle rotate so the big part of the blaster face the head, then slide forward, it should tab in. It is in the instruction. whats not in the instruction is that you can tab the backpack on the back in truc, over the gun on the studs thats stick out on the legs. the axe and the cube doesn't go anywhere onfurtunatelly

[@BlockBlazer]

One thing I noticed is that the gun can store on the back and there's a port that makes it *look* like a trailer hitch.

[@jmurray1110]

Weird how he put the gun in wrong though

[@xpreah765]

5:27 haha he said funny word amongus

[@venom60553]

if there is a knee join it will be 100% perfect. The eyes looks kind of off but is lego there is always some forgiveness there lol. I will get it the first day for sure. Thanks for the video. I think they can do VW Bumble Bee,, is pretty simple transformation and everyone loves Bees..and Lego has a VW beetles before... so hey lets go lol.

[@leonardosaldanagarcia4455]

Im so looking forward to this set. Going to be expensive, but I didn't think this would ever happen so im not missing out.

was just at the Lego store and the Optimus Prime will run for $169

[@muffinjuiceexe]

Now it’s time for transformers lego

[@eggdude1426]

ive always wanted official lego transformers ever since i got my first kreo bumblebee and i also hope meyby lego and hasbro could make a rise of the beasts lego theme in summer of 2023 great review :D

[@IvoryFoxcat]

About the size, yeah he’s a BEHEMOTH. He’s the largest Lego set I’ve ever gotten, and he’s even slightly taller than my bionicle self moc, which is a foot tall. I got him for Christmas and the box is the size of my cat

[@DragoonMS]

Yeah, it seems like it's about on par with the Wei Jiang MPP10 (that oversized MP10 KO) in terms of the height. Tempted to pull the trigger on this *AND* hunt down the old Kre-O set, too.

[@aidenmb7932]

I so hope they do more. I don't care how expensive they'd be I NEED them

snagged myself a few, really happy with him

[@therailfanman2078]

Great video! I need to get this! He looks awesome! Can't wait to see if they make a Lego Megatron, and personally I'd prefer if they made Megatron a tank

I just finished building this today, it's so cool and I also hole they make more, would love Starscream.

[@TheTallGeekGuy]

I need this in my collection more than SS 44. I feel like they should make Sideswipe (definitely Soundwave) and a Bumblebee...maybe some more but idk

[@MegaRex006]

Honestly, I want to see a whole Transformers Lego set line

Thanks for sizing him up against bionicles, for us bionicle guys.

[@windowone]

5:25 legit thought he said amogus XD

[@gliscorraider9076]

I 100% believe a Lego Grimlock is possible. And the transformstion is rather simplistic

[@TheGreatSteve]

They could make a Jetfire / Macross Valkyrie set just by including two different sticker sheets.

[@hostiledodo1150]

I already secured mine! I can't wait for it to arrive!

[@w.d.gaster1142]

I. Want. This. NOW!!!!!!

[@sazabi888]

Outside of bumblebee and a trailer there's not much else other than soundwave they can do IF they do continue the line.

[@atticuscorbitt8199]

A G1 Soundwave would be amazing

[@megatron5647]

Megatron in tank mode should be next or shockwave but soundwave is a good choice

[@thegreatbrainrobbery]

I'm sure there is someone who has already figured out knee articulation.

[@tanuki8926]

It's a great set, I bought one the day I heard about it

[@Wave65]

Shock wave it is gonna be difficult but I think it would be worth it

[@YTLadiesman217]

Am I the only one who things a voyager prime with this exact transformation but with more articulation and stuff would be a great Optimus toy?

[@ricky865]

I would love to see a Lego Star Saber.

[@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002]

Would've been awesome to see a Lego line of the Rise of the Beasts movie.

[@primustheprotogen3169]

Just got this, and it looks amazing. It also dwarfs my other transformers. My tallest one (on display) is the Siege Thundercracker, and his fins (the ones on either side of his head) barely reach the crotch.

[@primustheprotogen3169]

Also, the Earthrise Prime can wrap his hands around the handles of the matrix pretty well. It is even bloosh compatible.

[@ClintonMatos]

Ah Armada Tidalwave. I see you're a man of culture as well.

[@AlexSmith-tp7xu]

"Take that kreo" oh cmon yeah it was annoying taking them apart and putting them back together but they were fairly good. I had so many as a kid. Now I don't have things because I don't have space or time but if I became a adult collector like you I'd for sure have kreo everywhere

[@LordofEnumclaw]

g1 iron hide i whould love that

[@Robo_Italianman]

I think megatron might be next for LEGO transformers

[@woahmama]

If I was making more money or the price would be lower I would get that amazing set. But the price here, especially for Poland hurts a lot and he is propably gonna sell out quite quickly. Still looks amazing, the only issue is the lack of knees I think

[@kiwigaming09]

I think someone made knees but it was very unstable and kept falling over so no knees might be a good thing

[@woahmama]

@@kiwigaming09 Yeah I saw post about that. This piece goes more for just pure presence than full playability, because after like 10 years of history with Bionicle, some of which were quite massive I think if Lego really wanted too, they could develop some way to make it work, but he would propably end up less accurate and less big. Anyhow it's still the price that knocks me down the most. Not long ago I spend around 70$ on Tallneck and this boi costs over 180$ in our money, being almost the same size in terms of parts. Yes I am aware that the combination of Lego and Transformers brands makes the costs skyrocket just for the rights to that brand but damn, 110$ Higher price? I know that for hard fans this is gonna be an easy buy but I would rather buy a different set or even sets for that price.

[@Cyril29a]

I would love to see Grimlock if not all five dinos. A tank Megatron in G1 colours would be great

[@brotquel1592]

Aside from Soundwave, Bumblebee and Grimlock sound like the more doable... I would love a Shockwave.

[@alexandersilva3327]

i love how even in lego form he needs parts forming

[@idkwhattosaysamehere5155]

1 peice plus what optimuses are you buying partsforming isnt common

[@Hardhead456]

Plus you can just leave the truck plate on and never remove it

[@mitchdadude2341]

I feel like maybe Grimlock might be someone we see if they plan to continue his robot mode is relatively simple part from his wing, chest things but Legos done stuff like that before. I'd say the dinobot mode would be a bit difficult simple because he becomes a round boi. But other than that I'd say Grimlock

[@KingJake-om7yq]

About the trailer, a guy named hachiroku24 just put out a tutorial for how to build a trailer for this, and it looks awesome. It’s based on the g1 trailer with the robot inside and I think this set needs it

[@NeomDrac]

I need A Megatron to pose with him.

[@primustheprotogen3169]

They could probably do Hound relatively easily. Or Ratchet/Ironhide. But I think Soundwave would be the best option

[@jmurray1110]

Plus imagine the fun of the cassettecons especially if they are smaller booster packs that mesh with soundwave Laserbeak must tab into soundwave on the arm though
