So we will rename him to shortimus prime.

[@ProtonTheProtogen]

Love it

[@darkmage9252]

Stubtimus Prime

[@dennisstorres]

Uglymus Prime. I hate this 80s looking figures

[@Drakuma35]

Shartimus?

[@TJsVette]

I grew up with the originals from the 80s. Yes they werent the best but at that time they were awesome. ​@dennisstorres

[@davidwithit43]

Even after 40 years, he still got the touch

[@DaDumbDogboy]

And he still got the power!

[@5spec]

He's returned, more powerful than ever

[@adriannamorton1984]

As someone who does not have the Missing Link as an option, this is totally awesome! Great review Emgo

[@Spedatr0n]

Sweet! 14:07 This hits way too close to home as I bought my copy that’s missing an arm for $2.

[@jameszetterman4487]

@@Spedatr0n sounds like an opportunity to go on the offensive.

[@Duckofthedragon]

Put Megatrons arm on him

[@smiles_selims]

HOLY HI OOMFIE

[@ceruleanblu3184]

“He’s gonna take you back to the past. To play some shi-“ oh, wrong KZbinr.

[@albinonemo]

I suspect the reason for the windshields looking like that is because the mould they use to make those clear parts is only polished on the outer side, but they didn't bother polishing the inner surface

[@LastBastian]

I like that his rubber tires say: "Cybertron Radials" on them. Lol!

[@petspeoplestuff]

I ordered this guy because my poor G1 prime with his glued together left leg has been lost to time. And I can't afford missing link 😂

[@omegaboyslayerofevil6995]

Same my G1 prime legs r both broken

[@rainydayman2k]

Finally, an Optimus Prime that fits the Earthrise trailer! I imagine it would look better with the Nonnef kit. (Speaking of Nonnef, best of luck to Jay in rebuilding after Helene crashed his shop and home.)

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

This guy seems like he would be the perfect desk toy. I’m actually intrigued enough to get him for that very reason.

[@lous2187]

I like how much they stuck to the accuracy of the original G1 toy, definitely buying this guy when he is available in the UK

[@TotallyNormalUK]

I hope Hasbro makes a Decepticon to go with this Prime! (Like G2 Megatron) And I hope if/when they do this in Nemesis Prime colours its not hard to get!!

[@greengald6252]

Id love a magnus or splendid convoy outta this.

[@TotallyNormalUK]

@@greengald6252 Splendid, from G1 Prime...? Wouldn't Animated or even Cybertron Prime be better since they're both fire trucks like Splendid?

[@gabrielchee8470]

​@@TotallyNormalUKprobably because it's easier to buy for them maybe?

[@greengald6252]

@@TotallyNormalUK im thibk of taking the splendid magnus color scheme and turning that into a g1 universe splendid convoy.

[@zullumaster123]

Animated would be a good substitute seeing as of haslab gets a repaint that's a long ways away if it even happens.

[@redalert923]

Megatron: wow prime you really let yourself go

[@matthewelliott7294]

Optimus Prime: well at least I didn’t have a trigger crotch

[@Vakama95096]

Optimus: And you're still the same buckethead, Megs.

[@DaDumbDogboy]

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

[@mystics1ay3r17]

I wish they would have put his Tech Spec on the box or something so we could have his quote on the box “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings”

[@JasonSawyer]

He's gonna take you back to the past, to transform the tiny bots that kick ass.....

[@Adrian-ps7iu]

Little guy is definitely Worth it on because its a budget missing link

[@Rogzilla]

Literally preordered this guy for a desk fidget and he’s definitely going to fill that role well.

[@TyphonMar]

Budget Missing Link indeed! Glad I preordered this guy

[@Kriviach]

I think the best way you can describe this Prime is that hes... cute, like thats the most fitting descriptor for him I can think of. I honestly hope we see more figures like this released in mainline, cus man that Takara tax on those missing link figures is rough, and Id personally really love to see a Missing link style Bee/Cliff done up like Prime was, but ig time will tell, still, Ill definitely pick this guy up just for the novelty of it

[@braydenpage1808]

Hard to decide which Deluxe Optimus Prime is better between this and the Transformers One Prime.

[@MewtwoPrime84]

For size and plastic, easily TF One. But for a fun desk toy, the Legacy one is good as well

[@thepsxr]

Both are good in their own ways

[@NotBoringFilms]

id rather get this one. i like the tf One vehicle design except the wheels are covered up. i like to see the wheelzzz.

[@tyeohno]

Apples and oranges.

[@jaegercollects]

He may be short, but he is mighty. Definitely planning on buying him as I never had a G1 Prime as a kid.

[@jonathanhuffaker9939]

Thanks for the video and link emgo just cancelled my order with big bad and order there getting G1 Prime a lot quicker now!

[@Web-Warrior-ne7sy]

Good for flipping back and forth

[@_midddnight_]

Can’t wait what Toyhax will do to this Optimus!

[@darkmage9252]

Its Past Prime Time

[@leonigama5597]

awesome job about Legacy Deluxe Class G1 Universe OPTIMUS PRIME Action Figure from Transformers

[@jamesthompson2329]

I shall call him… Mini Prime!

[@Mecha82]

If this deluxe one is Mini Prime then what does that make Core version.

[@jamesthompson2329]

@@Mecha82 Micro Prime?!?

[@unnamedchannel1237]

My brother had this . One day he snapped the arm off my fav toy and apparently it was no big deal and I was making a scene. I accidentally snapped the arm off his prime a few months later ( was actually a total accident ) there was hell to pay. My brother is such an arsehole and still is to this day

[@josepharrington8391]

seems like a nice figure to pick up if you don't want to open up your missing link version

[@NotBoringFilms]

i can imagine all the tears flowing over the light piping.

[@vgamer11]

I'm very happy to see that Bumblebee is starting to stand up for himself more :)

[@ShaneSkaalerud-nk2jk]

1:51 his eyes look like bug eyes. And then I realized it was because of the light piping. So that's understandable.

[@Thundercracker87-b5f]

Retool the wrists, hopefully a ultra magnus, would give the more toy accurate gun to the 40th anniversary prime

[@ILOVETRANSFORMERSONE]

I’m so glad that there is finally a review for this figure! Are the smokestacks removable, because I remember mark saying that they were removable on instagram but maybe that changed

[@HFalconYT]

Maybe next time actually watch the video before commenting and asking a question? He literally removes the Smokestack at 3:03 in the video...

[@barbatos7233]

Is he precious? I think so.

[@TheTeamIsSHaRP]

That pose was epic!

[@sejagaming]

I don't get why some people are saying this is better than missing link. It's too small, the face is ugly, some colors are wrong, the bumper is half painted, it lacks some articulations... ok it's cheap but hey you get what you pay for. I'm glad I got the ML version.

[@CrazyMudkip]

I just bought one at Meijer yesterday and I was EXTREMELY disappointed because nothing would peg in properly and the axe won’t come off so I will be returning it later this weekend

[@stuffystudios.]

This is amazing

[@Prime-gu8xw]

So…missing link junior convoy anyone…?

[@ShinGallon]

Man, G1 Optimus fans have been absolutely *feasting* this year: Missing Link, this, SS86, 40th Anniversary Retro reissue, and if you're like me and consider him Powermaster Optimus, MPG Ginrai. I think my G1 Optimus needs are settled for forever, personally. Even thought I got both ML Primes I still want this one just as a little desk bot friend. Funny enough I think the Earthrise Prime trailer scales better with him than it does ER Prime.

[@jehb8945]

I just think it's cool that Hasbro did a brand new version of the original Optimus Prime mold and I think this little not known outside of Japan diaclone toy truck ended up stateside becoming an actual character and the toy hasn't left the collective consciousness for 40 years As for this toy yes it could be bigger but I actually like the size as this will be perfect for my computer desk

[@miguelarcachero6103]

First ever Generations Missing Link version.

[@PyrozPlayground]

Smolptimus Prime! Awww! I actually like this one more than the missing link one.

[@A.H984]

For wich trailer would look the best on this figure would be the volvo crossover Prime since that figures trailer has a piece that puts the peg more backward so the trailer doesnt look like its hanging on the edge, and i think it would look great on this figure.

[@DevinGates]

@9:26 Mind. BLOWN.

[@zeusthefox1585]

He's taking us back to the past? To what time? PRIME TIME!

[@Darkus_Da_Arcadian-Dragon]

Glad to see the trope of Prime hating Bumblebee continues lol

[@kamenlagann7379]

I just got mine today, and a nice little touch they added, is if you look at the tires, they say "Cybertron Radial" on them

[@RHM087]

My BBTS preorder isn't expected until January; can't wait for ToyHax to supply some of that chrome look.

[@scolioreset]

Yup. Seems like the perfect G1 Optimus for desktop and a lot of time wasted doing absolutely nothing from work but just posing the Junior Prime. Hopefully my sample will arrive sooner than later from CMD Store.

[@youmongrel]

I have the same effect on the windshield. Arrived today from Amazon. I don't know why I bought this. I have the OG and both Missing Links.

[@PixelsNcreatureS]

Oh wow.. I thought he was gonna be an exact replica of G1 with today's cheap plastics. He's widdle. Can he fit inside the trailer of himself? lol

[@KristopherLobb-pj6qy]

Awe Emgo I was hoping you would do a skit where Legacy Deluxe G1 Optimus Prime was a larger Optimus Prime's mini me.

[@afkoyuncu5886]

G1 prime is precious but this now is my teeny tiny precious Prime.

[@joadarium9605]

6:16 I was concerned this prime would be too short but at least he’s still taller than Bumblebee which is great lol

[@erickarriola8901]

Id love a whole line of redone g1 toy designs like this guy

[@obitwokenobi9808]

That intro made me do a double take. I thought I was watching the Angry Video Game Nerd.

[@DRYstudios1994]

I wonder how well the trailer from the movie trilogy Optimus Prime set (came with a deluxe Optimus and was released for Dark of the Moon) would work with this figure.

[@ToaDrakua]

I kind of want a skit of 86 Prime walking into a room full of himself just saying “Prime” over and over to each other, wondering what’s going on until _this_ Prime walk up behind him and complements him on his costume… in Bumblebee’s nasally voice.

[@Democratic_Republic_of_Iacon]

What a precious little prime. G1 prime jr if you will.

[@kamesaiyan1157]

10:16 which trailer should fit the best? Earthrise trailer or the Core class one?

[@garganrose]

11:38 he looks like Huffer towing that trailer.

[@chiliesauce8381]

Way better and simplistic, easy, and nicer cartoon accurate transformation than those bigger more brandname models. The body could be upscaled though and have more folding in parts to remove the wheels on primes thigh or sides to give him that complete superhero like husky upper body and big shoulders with a slim waste to complete the epic superhero body look.

[@cluracan1130]

I wonder how the trailer for the Volvo Prime would look with this guy. The hitch is further back so it might fit better

[@derrickbillings8654]

the thicker thighs and shorter forearms make the proportions a lot more pleasing on this than on Missing Link. Seeing the unaltered G1 proportions assume unnatural poses was side branch of the uncanny valley.

[@ShinGoukiSan]

For the Blasters one is the early Bloated one and the other is based on the later releases blaster

[@CHARIZARD1926]

"It's so precious oh so precious"

[@jameszetterman4487]

I'm getting at least one because my Missing Link is already showing chrome wear.

[@TheTurnipKing]

i feel like "budget Mising Link" doesn't do him any favours. This guy is a toy and I mean that in the nicest posible way. Dad gets the Mising Link while Little Timmy plays with this guy in the sandbox.

[@Brlt]

How much difference between Missing Link and the new Legacy G1 Version.

[@ShaneSkaalerud-nk2jk]

Studio series Optimus Prime would be great with G1 bumblebee. For size comparison. And the rest should be equal for the mini box and that's how I want to compare all my Transformers as.

[@savingstumps]

Its like when you are told we have optimus prome at home, but the optimus at home is pretty good.

[@weirdguy564]

My son asked for an Optimus Prime that is easy to transform and has a matrix of leadership. This might be the best option.

[@edwinsullivan922]

Can'the wait to get this.

[@thepsxr]

I noticed there was no Bloosh moment for this Prime😢 was he not worthy of such moment because I figured if anyone deserves a Bloosh moment it's G1 Prime🥺

[@DevinGates]

In 'the pose', no less

[@thepsxr]

@@DevinGates you're right😭

[@danielbrant6740]

I am curious to know if his two rifles are _BLOOOOOOOOOOSH_ compatible because the skinnier one looks like it could be. It also kinda sucks that this G1 Prime loses the wrist articulation that even his 1984 predecessor had.

[@skuffy4930]

We shall call him: Optimus Junior.

[@gabhranseitheach8640]

That Matrix giving me some Crystar vibes.

[@BajaBlast-o5b]

I just checked him on Amazon but I noticed he wasn’t available for some reason

[@jandecoleman1]

First and foremost I am a Teansformers fan, I grew up with them since they came out in the 80's. But, I also think they are starting to become to Pokémon'ish. How many G1 Primes are there again? I lost track after about the 50th one or so.

[@landmind666]

How does the legacy g2 prime tanker look. $2 for chipped g1 prime? I picked up one for .50

[@KiPockyConvoy]

I hope they keep doing these missing link type budget toys

[@Brlt]

The Earthrise Version is a much bigger than the new Legacy Toy accurate.

[@MisterSouji]

This looks really neat, and I wouldn't mind having it. But it's a Walmart exclusive. And I would rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon than have anything to do with that company.

[@CraigsPizzaYT]

How did you get him so early?

[@speedsterhigh6607]

Some pre-orders shipping

[@Bluestar1079]

It's in the description. But it's called robotKingdom. It's an Asian online retailer. Their prices are okay, but their shipping is killer. Depending on what you get, the shipping can double the price.

[@stealthfighter2923]

G1 universe treatment for all would be awesome

[@joesoul2472]

oddly enough, the pegs on the blasters on mine are too big for any peg holes on the figure, even the hands

[@marcbrunson6986]

Will we ever get another G1 Megs?

[@bphater31]

Preciousmus prime

[@berrie-nice-to-meet-you]

Minimus Prime. Honestly I kinda dig it

[@danielhuie4706]

You know what’s funny about this I bet hasbro is like you know what will be a good idea if we update the original g1 transformer toys with modern Articulation to them and I bet they Suggested to start with the original Optimus Prime toy

[@PlasticGeek]

Are the eyes light piped? That yellow section on the head would imply so

[@emgo316]

No, that’s just paint

[@Om3n2007]

thats a better prime than missing link in my humble opinion. i think i can get on board

[@jeidough]

He looks very cute! Though, I'm curious, is the Energon Axe compatible with Earthrise Optimus?

[@itsamesantiago4150]

I was having the same question. But couldn’t find any answer in the comments. This would be cheaper than the centurion drone pack.

[@kyurangerrider5670]

I think this tour should be called G 1.2.

[@lt.creggar5903]

I really think Hasbro really makes many of their toys these days, only if they can be “repainted” numerous times. Make as much money as possible with as little effort as possible.

[@Number_1_Rated_Salesman1997]

Was that an Angry Video Game Nerd reference?
