Is This Really The 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.

This figure is so nostalgic to me, I remember getting it for Christmas as a kid and I used it more than my rotf leader prime

[@mr.breadman4181]

Same only thing that sucked is mine broke and Walmart refused to replace it even though my parents got a warenty on it

[@ShmuckLord385]

This was the shit when I was a wee lad

[@Luis0609G]

@@mr.breadman4181 mine broke aswell and i lost the trailer when i was a kid. And now i lost the actual figure. I might rebuy it though just because it meant so much to me

[@havisgregoryful]

Same asked for Christmas got it and was happy asf

[@AliceMGT]

sameee i could never transform it to truck mode tho, the trailer was annoying as a little kid XD

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@joeseiden4299]

Oh my god this whole video was just filled with nostalgia for me. As a kid, this thing was basically my definitive Optimus figure

[@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

[@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

[@relicvault1515]

I got this figure for christmas and still have it to this day. and I would do ANYTHING to have a third party version of this with MP level engineering.

[@astro_9707]

those guys that made the CW magnus upgrade made something like this (i forgot what they were called)

[@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 :(

[@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.

[@benzmin6718]

I want one for my old toy collection, I need it

[@gdjaybee742]

This is one of my favorite in my collection, I am a collector who does not play much with my toys, mostly post them and set them on the shelf. The look of this toy was enough for me to be interested understanding its cons, you can hang this on the ceiling like its flying with a big canon, and looks like an Optimus Prime Gundam, I wish they would make a redesign of this that fixes all or most of its cons, but the way it is now, I am more than satisfied with it.

[@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!

[@floydforthought9998]

Optimus Prime and his trailer will always be awesome. I love the 2007 truck design. So glad we have gotten so many cool Optimus Primes lately.

[@legalsaga4684]

This design is soo overkill, I love it.

[@diohandingdal9865]

Damn, I miss this toy. Got it as a Christmas present from my dad

[@Blaksora777]

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

[@RadimentriX]

that cannon looks like it wears a trucker hat :D

[@kiadinetheanomalous4175]

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

[@DudeMannProds]

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

[@gunznblades3547]

I remember my brother getting this for his birthday back when the toy was new, and how we used to use it along with our other transformers toys, I especially used his hands sliding in problem as an excuse to make em arm blasters, but I think he still displays it in his room from time to time so I'm just looking at this review with a lot of nostalgia

[@y2kevo747]

as a kid i had this toy, i lost the optimus but still had a trailer, little kid me learned that it connects perfectly in vehicle form with the transformers prime leader class optimus that comes with the unfolding gun

[@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

[@unintelligentlifeform3821]

I remember getting this figure as a christmas gift when I was a little kid! I had it for a few days but my dog got to it and chewed it up. Now I remember what it was called. What a blast from the past!

[@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

[@teegela4396]

This is a major nostalgia trip for me

[@beybladeproductions5932]

I think this could actually be a good mold if they found a way to have the wheel wells on the legs and fix the chest portions

[@LUNITICWILL]

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

[@ridingsonic]

Wow I never seen broken animation for transformation instructions before.

[@VenomWithEyes]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@SilentShadow423]

I remember playing with this as a kid ahh the memories

[@Hell-Films1971]

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.

[@CalebDelgado-f2f]

I had that optimus when i was a kid, and i loved it, but one day, a guy came to our house to do some repairs and stole it. It was the saddest day in my life.

[@silverfruit14]

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

[@soundwave334_5]

God I wanted this guy so much as a kid but never was able to :(

[@lildrew7305]

I miss that version of him 😢

[@Grimmations]

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

[@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.

[@Dogmaguy74]

I believe that the concept was to mimic the animated shows by giving him a SUPER MODE like he did in the unicron trilogy.

[@skyyswaggstudios2934]

Feels very similar to “trailer becomes pants” like armada prime

[@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

[@diegos7337]

I never liked it.... Never got it.... But when I saw the Year of the Dragon one at the store... I loved it! I have it in my shelf.

[@LarySeeAircraft]

I have had this since it came out. My side doors have broken off but I still have them (it broke at the clear plastic window)

[@MCD10000]

I am able to pop the doors on and off, I got serious stress marks on the double hinges for the side panels on the cab and I managed to snap a peg completely off on the trailer, which sucks but it makes it unique

[@wallacebros1567]

I used to have one of these for the longest time nice to finally see it with some recognition

[@rowankratz6508]

Say what you will about this guy, but he has a special place in my heart. I must've been about five or six when i got this guy for my birthday, and i loved him to death. I vividly remember bringing him into to school for show-and-tell, and telling all of my classmates about him. He unfortunately broke down over time, and was eventually thrown out. This review was an absolute nostalgia injection to the brain. Thank you.

[@Grindor-FR]

This was my main Christmas gift in 2012 and I absolutely loved it And then in common fashion at the time, my brother up and broke it

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@grrrmlin]

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

[@therealjirosomer876]

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

[@alphaunit9154]

I remember that I had this when I was a kid. That is some good nostalgic

[@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.

[@masterfarr8265]

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

[@primusvsunicron1]

I think that the trailer/exo-suit/Jetwing are made from Jetfire’s corpse

[@moondodger5952]

I like this figure becuase it just unashamedly goes all out and screams “I am a cool toy”.

[@samurexatlas7373]

I had this, I loved it.

[@dannyl434]

Aps01u is the ULTIMATE Optimus prime hands down

[@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.

[@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.

[@MrBeruni]

The combined mode reminds me of Gundam X

[@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.

[@nickolasbutler2356]

the mec-tech gun just gives me age of extinction lockdown vibes

[@LastBaws]

i bought this figure from a flea market like years back, and didn't know someone had super glued the knees, so the knees don't move. it's a cool figure tho i loved it

[@Femboy_Shota]

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

[@zachadair52]

The comiccon 2011 version of this is still in the package and sealed at a local shop near me for 180 bucks. It’s so cool seeing it in person

[@zachadair52]

They also have the comic con 1st edition Optimus prime from transformers prime for 70 bucks. It’s a dope store, so many vintage and rare transformers. It’s called Texas time warp if anyone is interested! I got year of the snake energon prime there for 100

[@contygoat]

I got this figure for my 4th birthday, Its the first present I remember ever getting, it was so fun, it was so amazing, I really wish I had it still

[@MajinPlanetTV]

Found one at a local con a few years ago, I end up picking up two of them for 50 US because they where both broken and one was missing parts. However, I was able to take the missing parts from one and form a full finished on that I have displayed with my collection of the movie line figures.

[@MisterBurgerBeachball]

Wait can't the "destroy everything in that general direction" cannon fold onto his back in combined robot mode?

[@Holy_Moly69]

this figure was the ultimate flex when i was a kid

[@rokechikan4481]

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

[@JOSUE_657]

Yo that gun turns him into a kinda kamekamehahh thing 😂

[@Rad_Gamer456]

I had this guy with the Jet fire version.

[@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

[@Boom__6678]

This Guy was my main Optimus when I was a kid, and then he broke a couple years ago, so that was sad, but I ended up getting SS 44 DOTM Optimus and it was a pretty solid figure, and then I decided to custom paint him into Nemesis prime... ah well, At Least I'm getting SS-05 now

[@UnclebenVR]

I would love to see a legacy version of this guy

[@Optimusprime809]

I love this, just a toy-ass toy, unapologetically. I used to really want it when it released, but I wouldn't buy it now. Love the Ruby noises and the picture zooming in 😂😂

[@komdiv_Jones]

Fun thing the clear plastic shoulder/door whatever broke when moving them up to put the power suit on. Taped it for now but clear plastic is…… an interesting choice

[@AgentG54]

So I have this figure but the hinge for the side of the truck (not the clear plastic) broke and is now impossible to fix, it happened to a previous one I had also

[@turogamer-oi4nq]

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

[@Kscopes8888]

I got this figure when it first game out for my birthday and it has been one of my favourite since but recently the side pieces on the trailer snapped off and if anyone has a trailer for this figure that is for sale please leave a comment below

[@TheUnknownPrime]

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

[@diamondhead1984]

Have this one still in the box.

[@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

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Man, talking about the trailer kind of but not really connecting to the Leader Class figure... Editors on the wiki were _obsessed_ for long time with whether the MechTech trailer could be hauled by Optimus toys. It got to the point that even the Siege and Earthrise entries mentioned that they could sort of pull it but that it's undersized and tends to fall off while being pulled, until I removed them and left an edit note basically saying "seriously, we don't need to keep track of every single toy being compatible with this."

[@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 🔥
