Is This Really The ULTIMATE Optimus Prime | #transformers Dark Of The Moon Ultimate Optimus Prime

[@therailfanman2078]

Even though these types of figures aren't very accurate I still love the old ones simply because they're so weird yet so awesome

[@RealPigdodger10]

I Agreed 👍😎

[@shinwave]

And what makes people really wants to go back with old collecting is the plastict feel and quality too

[@therailfanman2078]

@@shinwave Ikr. I just got the 2009 leader class prime and he feels SO GOOD.

[@shinwave]

@@therailfanman2078 Right? Like fr

[@shinwave]

And the price is also decent during that time perfectly with the budget becuz of the size and ofc gimmicks

[@RealmJD]

I love how Optimus says his name so calmly after blasting his opponent with the Cybertronian equivalent of lead. It's so Bay.

[@diabolusabinfernum3461]

Optimus: I am Optimus Prime. And you are scrap.

[@HenriqueHCA14]

Bay-verse Optimus in a shell: Shoot first, talk later

[@Quantum_Magnus]

Wow, I didn’t realize my favorite toy growing up had such an effect on society to where someone put it in Cyberpunk concept art.

[@kidztruthproductions]

Years after getting this guy, I discovered that you can rotate his feet to point more outward in the exo-suit, rather than pointing straight forward. It was a very stage bit of articulation to discover, and that about sums up this toy's feeling.

[@haydentang3981]

i have a knockoff of this figure and its so much worse than this. the smokestacks are red, the shoulder flaps are different, the whole grill, the entire grill, comes out 90 degrees only so i can do the same arm pop out transformation. and the crotch piece doesnt even tab in or stay in place. IT HAS NO TAB. and the cover for the back wheels dont turn and then come up. it just comes up to the side and it has become loose, and the head is on a spring, no head rotation nothing.

[@kidztruthproductions]

@@haydentang3981 I saw that KO around a couple years back, and it looked dreadful. I don't envy your experience

[@haydentang3981]

@@kidztruthproductions initially i was excited when i got it. but another thing i forgot to mention is. when i got it out of the box. i tried to transform the trailer, its the exact same. but the peg for one of the wings was stuck, i couldnt get it out, and eventually the peg broke. its the peg connecting the wings to the arms in trailer mode. so whenever i played with it, one side kept untabbing. so yea, dont mean to add fuel to the fire, but its pretty bad.

[@King_Grimlock89]

I feel like somehow EVERYBODY in the community was somehow drawn to this figure again because for the past week I kept looking up this figure and just bought one and this review comes out the day before its delivered like WHAT!?!?!?

[@0pt1tr0nD27]

We’re living in a simulation

[@danieladame8676]

Like last month or so I found one on marketplace for $30, been loving it just as a wall piece

[@giorgospapoutsakis5271]

​@@0pt1tr0nD27nobody asked you,this is nonsense,it's the algorithm

[@noobishanimations1809]

I actually used to have this exact same prime as a kid! Would play with it all the time! Seeing this again is nostalgic ass hell. Thank you.

[@Limey8108]

I remember getting this as a present I think around Christmas, and yeah, this is really nostalgic for me! I love this figures playability, and remembered how some times I would just play with optimus instead of both him and the trailer. Great figure, but the shoulder flaps were always a bit fragile.

[@prow_ly4710]

This was a childhood toy of mine and the amount of nostalgia I got from you making those sounds from the mech tech weapon was beautiful. Chef's kiss

[@detectiveluck2899]

I just love how built different old toys were before now.

[@happyboy7093]

remember i had this then it broke and i lost every piece :(

[@ChimpWithaHandGrenade]

I got that for Christmas when I was 7. Still at the very top of my shelf to this day

[@JayTheGamer11111]

I’m not an adult collector but all I know is I’ve been collecting transformers for nine years so I want this

[@HellFilms1974]

I remember when I got a transformer's revenge to the fallen studio series optimus. The little thing in his arm that's used to transform it into truck mode. The little tab went forward, and his arm went backward. As hard as I could, I tried to put the arm back, and it snapped off pain.

[@cutercills9x9productions9]

This actually was my first ever live action Optimus Prime toy. Got to say, while I rarely play with him recently, I still have an unusually affectionate bond for it.

[@kiadinetheanomalous4175]

I had this when I was younger and have a lot of great memories of the figure

[@Freddyfan1428]

You got a good deal, that's what I paid for mine when I bought it at retail years ago. It's a janky figure but it's got that weird coolness about it... possibly just because it's Optimus with a trailer once again! And yes, I think that's the best description I've ever heard of that gun of his! LOL!

[@Jazzer995]

An updated version of this is what I was hoping from the Studio Series one. I'm still hoping for something similar in the future - without the mega buster rifle.

[@genocyberia619]

Studio Series is usually movie accuracy focused so an updated one could fit into buzzworthy bumblebee mayhaps

[@Blaksora777]

This is so nostalgic I used to have this when I was a kid

[@ridingsonic]

Wow I never seen broken animation for transformation instructions before.

[@SilentShadow423]

I remember playing with this as a kid ahh the memories

[@Mythic2099]

This figure was my absolute childhood I could never transform him (he was in bot mode) and loved that giant mech tech gun I just pressed the buttons to watch it light up not even bothering to plug it into his hands wish I wasn’t so destructive with my toys or he’d actually still be here lol

[@johnathan7313]

I got this figure when it first came out in Christmas as a kid and I still have it!

[@KaitoD]

The trend I see with toys are they either focus on the playability and articulation or just go all out and give it a presence even if its basically a statue at that point. You can see this with something like Sentai mecha toyline where the mechas are ridiculous and big but they are just glorified bricks. And then there are those who try to cater to every aspect and did it like Studio 01 Cell which is just, insane

[@seekerplex1880]

I used to love this toy when I was younger then the arm for the combined mode snapped but it’s still good on its own and great video

[@mage_43]

My brother had this toy when we were younger. It's a fun toy and looks cool. Bit of a warning though, I don't remember how but one of the pegs on Prime's giant face gun for the hands broke so be careful with that just in case

[@lildrew7305]

I miss that version of him 😢

[@chickenmaster0636]

I remember getting this back in the day, still have it around. Learned how to properly use the gun and transform the trailer, so thanks!

[@Femboy_Shota]

Ultimate Optimus Prime weapon is just a predecessor to the Age of Extinction Lockdown toy.

[@PhelesDragon]

My had one of the knees snap GPS style. I wasn't being rough with it, it just gave one day without warning. 1:28 3mil clips were super underrated.

[@DudeMannProds]

This will always be the "nice" optimus in my collection since I got him for $69

[@LUNITICWILL]

ah yes, the "I'm a Beautiful Butterfly" Optimus Prime

[@Grimmations]

I was lucky enough to grow up with this guy, god I miss him…

[@VenomWithEyes]

I wanted this as a kid, but me being 4 and my parents being poor, I never got it.

[@grrrmlin]

This was my childhood movieverse prime i have so much nostalgia for him

[@B1_224]

This is making me tear up this optimus was the first transformers toy i ever got i love it i wish i still have it

[@teegela4396]

This is a major nostalgia trip for me

[@therealjirosomer876]

I used to have this one when I was a kid brings back some memories

[@pogars6811]

i got this like 99% complete out of a bin bag lol. its objectively not the best but personally im a huge fan of the combined look and the like core optimus's transformation

[@Kingkonga200]

I got this figure for my birthday when I was very little, I watch this video for nostalgia purposes and also to see what it was completely like, right now it doesn’t have a lot of pieces due to the test of time so I lost a bit of pieces, I musta been way too young for this toy lol, but I love it regardless cuz of the trailer, that was what had me sold for the toy, the trailer, the fact it transformed into a mech suit for Optimus blew my lil child mind and I loved it regardless of its issues, mainly cuz I didn’t care much, but I still love it cuz of the Mech suit gimmick.

[@samurexatlas7373]

I had this, I loved it.

[@masterfarr8265]

I remember getting this guy for Christmas when I was a kid

[@silverfruit14]

Bro i had this as a kid. It was so cool

[@Holy_Moly69]

this figure was the ultimate flex when i was a kid

[@RadimentriX]

that cannon looks like it wears a trucker hat :D

[@siderealstraw9319]

Got this one for Christmas and I can confirm that the trailer is flimsy and poorly toleranced the connections on the panels are scary tight and the air conditioner/front/wing part snapped off after one transformation due to the amount of stress and force needed. Love the toy still, he will always have a fond place in my heart

[@rokechikan4481]

I remember having this! I would always stick a Sonic plushie into it instead of Optimus lmao.

[@inf.perkins]

i saw this in walmart when i was like 8 years old back around 2011/12. I remember having to settle for the mini transformers prime optimus prime cuz it was cheaper. You can find this guy for like 200-500 dollars. For as old as this guy is that aint bad imo

[@screamingchild.1352]

I love this toy. My two favorite old movie toys are this and the ROTF supreme Devastator. Both incredibly inaccurate, but super fun toys that are just meant to be cool and BIG. And boy do they succeed at being just that.

[@turogamer-oi4nq]

I remember seeing this back in the day I was 10 and I'm 22 now and I still want one

[@UnclebenVR]

I would love to see a legacy version of this guy

[@deang5386]

I was almost going to get this Ultimate Optimus but glad I held off and got the Takara Leader Jetwing Optimus instead, which has definitely been a better figure

[@TheUnknownPrime]

I remember not liking the gun, but liking the facemask thing, so I took the gun off and shaved off the screw posts.

[@toysmostwanted]

This was colloquially known as "Mariposa Prime" in the Philippines. Mariposa is the largest butterfly native to our country.

[@mourninggirl8825]

He looks like a try hard gundam with the wings.

[@Cdr2002]

This is the only movie Prime that was ready for Lockdown

[@RANDomstuff0709]

Had this when it came out, just got rid of it a couple months ago. This video is bringing back a lot of memories.

[@ThatTFfan]

I just got this guy today from my brothers dad (we have different dads) and bro I love it so much! Although one arm won’t tab in but it doesn’t make a difference and I’m not gonna mess with it as I don’t want it to break

[@pixelman6193]

This was the closest we got to buff prime from end of revenge of the fallen and I love him I want to get another to customize it's on my custom toy bucket list

[@chadderbug7587]

I've found that its better to just punch the hands through the grill rather than opening up the holes manually. especially before you do everything else

[@MoonTheTFfan]

My reaction when I saw that figure first time: Y he chonky-

[@SidewaysPrimeYT]

always wanted one of these guys. Never had the cash for it.

[@Noodelzmop]

I have this guy just sitting on my shelf in truck mode

[@Toukuku]

I really have to say that i like "Butterfly Prime" quite a lot! Or...Dragonfly Prime?

[@ethan4739]

I actually bought this one but he barely lasted because he broke in half like Jazz did in the '07 film.

[@drex_668]

This was my favorite figure as a kid and it sucks because now I’m missing parts of it like part of the back and the side panels of the truck and I don’t have the trailer all I have is the gun

[@chriswu772]

I mean, give it a better core bot along with additional articulation for both the previously mentioned core bot and trailer exosuit, and it could be a dope-ass toy that holds up even better today!

[@jeffersonrojaszeledon]

My first Optimus Prime

[@jacobbarth5200]

The cannon folds to the back and acts as a thruster

[@lanoche]

3:01 You honestly don't need to do that first lol. I usually do that the last. The side panels is the one you open first so you can start exploding it for robot mode.

[@TheReddestComet]

i had this as a kid and i loved it

[@DeadstreaK_]

I remember getting mine for somewhere around 20 usd without the mech-tech cannon. The kid wanted one quarter for it but my dad said no lol Since I was a lil ass kid at the time, I lost pretty much all of the trailer panels that make up the wings so my Prime doesn’t command as much of a presence anymore and the hips on Prime himself are so loose that he can’t even stand and instead flops either way.

[@omegaodst2421]

I actually own this mans with the biiiiiiiig box he has and he is dope looking

[@shinzero0271]

This is what happens when Optimus Prime watches too much Gundam. Or when he really wants to wear moth-inspired armor.

[@xdeemstudios749]

I used to have this toy as a kid

[@therealthirst8099]

I got this Christmas 2011. I feel bad for having my mom spend 100 dollars to get this. Was super dissapointed when I found out that the super mode was basically a brick with moveable arms. And it only stings even worse when I learned about the Jetwing Optimus that Japan got that was way more accurate.

[@toadsavage9218]

The year of the dragon version is dope af

[@sluphwoohoon7451]

I got this guy for Christmas then som years later my sister smashed it when she was mad at me. Sad day that was.

[@kyujee5360]

You can also fold the Canon to store it on his back which I guess could act as a rocket booster

[@RingoLoadagain]

Yeah this thing was so epic at first, but once you realize that there's absolutely nothing to do in combined mode due to the lack of articulation it loses a lot of the appeal. The huge cannon is annoying, too. I actually did create a "base mode" for this when I had it that was pretty cool and a bit more fun, but yeah I really wish it turned into the actual thing that was in the actual movie, or at least a better version of this concept.

[@gigachad3497]

You know, normally I do everything and at the end I pull the sliders and the hands punch the grills out. Try that lol.

[@Csthedirector]

I have this on my collection display and it's awesome idc if its not "movie accurate" this is the leader size i miss and i like how badass it looks 🔥

[@lorddiamond1174]

I'm getting this guy for Christmas, I shit you not £5 on Facebook marketplace, shit is nuts

[@dannyl434]

Aps01u is the ULTIMATE Optimus prime hands down

[@ShowaBoiEdits]

This figure is basically GOOFIMUS PRIME WITH WINGS AND AN AWSOME MECH TECH WEAPON.

[@anneexoskin2287]

I had one of these, please note his legs are hold together by a pin that can easily snap off

[@jonathannash3519]

Oooo I was able to get the Lunar New Year deco at TFCON Toronto auction 😻

[@Rad_Gamer456]

I had this guy with the Jet fire version.

[@red_crayon9771]

In the eyes of a kid, it was like holding the Holy Grail

[@Cyber_Horse_Studios87]

Overall the Dark of the moon versions of prime were all pretty wonky. I actually had the original Voyager Prime with the funky solar panel like windows and hood detailing as well as the big clunky gun. which is the one I had. That one had really crummy articulation AND the arms could not peg in when transformed. It was kinda meh… but I also got dark of the moon bumblebee so that made everything better. :3

[@plaguedoctorspina9157]

[@albertgirard7857]

2:54 hmmm where have I heard that before

[@rynopotomas2236]

"Get out you bitch" had me dead.

[@deronn.j6088]

I'm sorry but it just looks like Optimus is wearing a diaper and it's funny as hell

[@wolkaiserdrake9946]

I dont mind his upper torso, its just that his legs dont transform what so ever, sure his arms are just the front of the truck, but this are hidden far better were as the legs are just, THERE! I wish they had used the style of legs transformation from the 07 voyager, that one had great legs, shit upper body, but great legs. edit: over $100?! I got mine for £15, only missing the 2 side panels from the truck

[@blasterblaster1221]

Despite him being a brick i do like old butterfly prime....i will say that its tranformation to robot mode you kinda made harder on yourself then neccisary...the fist sliders push the grill panels so you dont need to break your fingernails...i will agree that i wish he had heels

[@redfire2757]

Honestly I think with some retool the core bot could be the best Optimus Prime ever with ROTF Leader

[@ThePeblo]

i searched this very drunk while watching, im about your age and so proud

[@hthrun]

4:40 If they could do something better with his forearms and shoulders this would be a pretty good transformation...

[@firesonic1010]

I think this toy was moreso based on Armada Optimus's super mode, and I always thought of it as a spiritual successor to it.

[@genoedcknifecollecter1538]

I don't know why but I love big shoulder pads lol
