[@theraginginfernape9496]

Laser Prime is my favorite Prime design, so when I got this I was over the moon. Transformation is addictive, alt mode is awesome. Poseability is ok for me, I really wish the shoulders did more. If this is the least well-executed of the wave, that says something.

[@hassanrao470]

Agreed. A great figure thats a bit heald back by the arms. I'm with yu on being a sucker for G2 prime and you bet ill also be getting the scourge repaint

[@PerspectiveEnd]

The box lies about how far the shoulders can go.

[@optimistprime3192]

It turns out that the head is indeed on a ball joint that has about as much range as the WFC trilogy offers generally. The problem is that out of the box, the head is mounted a little too far back; by carefully shifting the head forward-or accidentally pulling it off in the process and reattaching it accordingly like I did-the neck articulation works as intended.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That's weird. I will have to see what I can do about remedying that.

[@evolvem2414]

Glad to hear that Im not the only one who thinks the legs work better on this figure

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah on Prime the legs were too long. On Laser they are just long enough.

[@elpotato5011]

I like to imagine Laser Prime as Nemesis Prime turned good. I think Bayverse Prime has a great characterisation for Nemesis. Bayverse Prime does care for his men, he just loves the old ultra violence a bit too much. And I think that characterisation is more interesting for Nemesis than “generic evil guy”. Anyway the Laser Prime bit is mostly because I think it would be cool if the “pure evil” clone of Optimus was still a decent enough guy to not side with space nazis.

[@TAAAKYON]

It's funny because the original Laser prime became the first Nemesis prime (Scourge)

[@elpotato5011]

@Gabriel Castro That was one of my main inspirations for the idea, although I am not the biggest fan of Scourge as a name for him. I think it is a cooler name than “Nemesis Prime” but it’s already taken by another guy.

[@splitproductions9908]

So, I would just like to say that on your bulkhead video you said it was an impossible prime retool, but that was not what is said about it, the theory is that it will be a beast hunters prime, great video just bee on on my mind

[@FireFury190]

Given Beast Hunters Optimus’ large chest and the way the tarp on Bulkhead connects and folds in like Optimus’ wing pack, yeah I think it’s save to say he’ll be retool.

[@user-ns3rq2zn9l]

They can also do tf prime ultra magnus because why not. And of course scourge

[@PerspectiveEnd]

This is not correct. Before the figure ever was seen by non Hasbo Eyes there was a rumor that it was an ER Prime retool, and those did persist for a while after the reveals.

[@InfinityBlock192]

I personally like to think that Laser Prime is basically the G1ified Bayverse Prime, personality and all, because his design to me just gives off feelings of something Bay would actually make, just with 10x more detail.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It does at least make some sense like that.

[@ItsDeltaBox]

Im imagining a world where there was an actual G2 cartoon with these designs and trying to fit in the 90’s theme of Radicalness and Edgyness. God that sounds hilarious

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Here's the thing there was a 90s TF show, and it was called Beast Wars, and aside from Cheetor spouting catchphrases and the Radical Music it wasn't very 90s.

[@illiteratedino]

That figure does look like it could be fun with all the neat gimmicks and the trailer. I've seen other reviews, but yours if the only one that really shows the potential play functions this has.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Which is weird because I don't normally focus on stuff like that.

[@artzstudios9737]

I've recently grown to love this design since it reminds me alot of Bayverse Prime, who I have alot of nostalgia for (which is ironic since Laser Prime predated Bayverse Optimus) and yeah, I agree that the articulation could've ALOT better, especially when it came to the shoulders. Overall though, i'm really excited to get him, I've kinda grown to not care for ER Prime anymore so this figure is pretty refreshing for me. Also, nice review btw 👍

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Honestly he might more be the Inspiration for Bay Prime than the regular prime.

[@artzstudios9737]

[@leosierras9643]

I'm only thinking about this figure because of the trailer, I have the United Laser Prime (Takara RTS Laser Prime) and while it is a bit finicky due to being a deluxe class, it has much better possibility AND solves both the shoulders and the back kibble! If you get one I highly recommend it.

Also heads up that their are ports in the trailer where you can plug the weapons in on the inside

[@nightknight2162]

I guess I should say slots but yeah in the trailer walls their are dedicated ports to old the weapons to they some bounce around inside the trailer

[@CayeDaws]

Decided on buying this guy and I was actually very surprised, just like the rest of the legacy line lol. The heft, the colors, the trailer, (wasn't a big fan of the energon weapons so I gave him Siege Prime's Axe and my custom painted screen accurate Last Knight Optimus Sword and he looked way better) and his really fun transformation. This was the biggest surprise this year for me, and while now the most posable figure, he's very playable with his gimmicks that I didn't realize I missed. Though I took out his matrix because it looks weird in his chest

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Glad to hear you are enjoying it so much. It's so strange I can't really say why I like this thing, but it's just fun is as best as I can put it.

As good as this thing looks, I think I’m going to wait till the scourge version comes out which we all know is coming. I prefer scourge to nemesis as In my mind an evil Optimus wouldn’t just paint himself black but would put enough missiles on his shoulders to level small cities.

[@Crimson_Crow88]

Great vid, on the topic of its head swivel, I found that it isn't assembled correctly, you actually have to shift the head forward, and while it doesn't get looser, it does gove the head a little up and down, also the weapons have dedicated storage in the trailer, but you probably knew that

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I've heard that the head can fall off if you do that.

[@TheFourteenthPrime]

This guy has even more features and such. The hollowness in the legs is so you can store the sword at the bottom of the alt mode, like the old toy, the gun can plug into the shoulder pads (for some reason) which is why the peg is there. You can even fan mode a BFG outta the main turret that can be held by Prime which those pegs on the side help with. Basically this dude is stacked with play features and gimmicks. I think it's my second favorite from wave 1 aside from Bulkhead, it's a loving tribute to the OG version while sticking to today's budgetary restraints. Though the shoulders not even rotating is bothersome, hope DNA or someone fixes them since they're on screws that can be fully disassembled.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Wait the Legs had to be hollow to do that. I tried to get him to hold that, but it just didn't work. Like I said more Gimmicks than joints. As much as I may say that it is flawed, I do enjoy this more than most of the others my self.

[@TheFourteenthPrime]

@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah he's a really fun figure. Getting a second one in soon to repaint into SG Magnus.

My favorite part about this guy is the style of the trailer and the transformation

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Those are both great aspects of the figure.

[@CaptainFordoCanonizingCommitee]

Here's a tip: the limited head joint is caused by the head not being fully connected to the ball joint. If you push the back of the head hard enough, you will get access to his Ball joint at the head. Hope this helps!

Great review PE. Was never too interested in this one but I like your idea its a different Prime from Optimus. Though speaking of Primes I do have a confession to make, after having my SG ER Prime I think I’ve come to like that mold a bit more than the siege one. I still like the Siege but the ER just does more for me imo. Side note, really loved your joke posing this episode, Prime getting his balls faded gave me a good laugh. Also love how Warpath seems to be one of your go to extras lately, makes this Warpath fanboy happy.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

You MONSTER! How Could you say this to me?.. You might honestly be the first person to tell me that. That's fine though it does sadden me just a little. Thank you, I felt particularly inspired this time. I just always have him handy, and he's a good representation of the Modern Smaller deluxe size.

[@nauticalseat628]

The reason the head has dead eyes is because the back half of the head and eyes are clear plastic that they painted over for some reason rather than just painting the eyes

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I wish I'd mentioned how dead the eyes are. So the question is does this count as Lightpiping when it can't pipe the light.

It’s been like 2 weeks since this video but I found a solution to his head being super tight and sitting behind his shoulders. Pop the head off the ball joint and then stick it back on before sliding it forward a bit on the ball joint. It makes his head sit in the proper area so it’s at his shoulder line and he can look down a decent range. TL:DR the ball joint isn’t all the way in the socket on his head so you need to pop it off and slide it forward a bit. Don’t know if you will see this but just wanted to let you know.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

So it's like the Nautilator head then, there's like a dead space in there it can move into?

[@x-modulator4067]

@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, there is a small gap between the faceplate and the socket, so the ball joint seems to be resting half-way in that gap. So pushing the back of the head forward or popping it off it situating it properly should fix the problem. It makes his head sit a bit higher and closer to his shoulders while letting him look down a decent range

I think this video sold me on Laser Optimus. Maybe treating him as a different character increases his marketability. If I get this, I’d have him in the process of throwing his trailer at some Decepticons in a heavily populated war zone. Cause that’s how I see him: a more gung-ho battle-ready leader than Optimus Classic, who is willing to take more drastic measures(for himself or others,) to make sure his target is eliminated. He‘s basically full 90’s action hero, and would probably get along with the Wreckers. As for the eventual RID Scourge repaint, I’m not really gonna wait for it. I’m just gonna get the Netflix Nemesis Prime to use as my definitive Nemesis, as that one will most likely better accessories and better overall mold(cause I do still like the Siege Optimus, despite liking the ER one more). Plus, I have some knowledge and affinity for the Netflix Nemesis, in that I think Nemesis as “Optimus Gone Bad” is an awesome concept, despite being botched twice. I hope they actually do this at some point and it isn’t in something as bad as Last Knight or the Netflix show.

Absolutely this is the Frontline Commander Prime, the guy who gets stuck in with the troops every opportunity he gets. To be fair yeah, this will be more accurate to scourge, but I can't say that it's a better finger in any way compared to the netflix.

[@DrLockdown]

Couple of things you missed; - the reason the legs are hollow is because the sword has secret legs to store on the bottom of the alt mode, just like the original toy - there is no blue plastic on this thing. It's all paint. ...whyyyyyyyy...

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I suppose I did miss that cause I didn't know about it. Though if I knew about it I probably wouldn't have said anything. I've never been the guy who shows off every possible combination, and the only reason I brought it up with the axe is the visible prongs on the side are confusing. And Yeah I suspected that about the Blue, if the face is all painted why didn't they use the silver.

[@DrLockdown]

I find it really annoying. It seems like the sort of paint that'll chip over time. Reckon it's so the colours match up for scourge (or black convoy, as they're calling him how). Dunno if I'll get him. Already have the original in perfect condition, so I'll have to see photos first

[@dexterdexter8208]

No blue plastic? Not even the head? Really?

[@Optimus-wu4ch]

Hi I am very sick and I have been for the last 3 days this video help me feel better thank you hope your day is going better than my 🙂

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'm happy to hear that I was able to help even a little.

[@moosiefate]

I’ve been hanging out for this review. You’ve pretty much confirmed my views about laser prime. It feels like Hasbro heard the complaints about ER Prime’s trailer and so put more budget into the trailer at the cost of the figure’s engineering and paint. I kind of like it but not $100 like it which is its price here.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

And yet it ended up better for it. Though I do really wish the Pylons moved.

[@o.8.p149]

You can literally call this guy Laser if you don’t want him as Optimus Prime

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I go with just laser prime my self.

[@masontheawesome9898]

I don’t think it looks bad but in way more excited to get it when he comes in black.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I think everyone want's a Scourge more than this.

[@charperalta9489]

the title is just like the good old days where people like demolisher, tidal wave, scavenger, the g2 figures and alot of armada toys "where More Gimmicks than Joints" and some of them where fun

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I didn't know people used to make those jokes?

[@charperalta9489]

@@PerspectiveEnd why do you think people love some g2 toys

[@ToaDaGardeKat]

A better attempt than I expected, still can't outdo the 2010/HftD mold, or even, dare I say, the TR version?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I really wish I had the TR version, instead I just have the basic version that you didn't have to get in a box set.

[@ToaDaGardeKat]

@@PerspectiveEnd and last I checked, the Scourge repaint is even more rare, not Takara exclusive, but lottery exclusive if I'm remembering vorrectly, but I'll check

[@nathanielcantu626]

When you give prime that goofy ahh gun

[@PerspectiveEnd]

When what? Like I give him the gun, then?

[@kwymd]

This has to be the best looking g2 character

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I can think of a few others that would rival him.

[@hyperbat1281]

6:00 the sword and axe has a peg to attach to the to sides of the trailer.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It's cooler to put them inside it.

[@lycandoodle]

I was expecting to come into this review and you absolutely hating this figure but now I'm just speechless XD Also good review!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Thank you very much, and I too am surprised I'm not hating on it.

[@emeraldphoenix5868]

Now I'm really confused about if I should get this or the Titans Return version of Laser Prime for my Transformers Synergy series.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Let me make your Decision for you. To get the TR one you pretty much need to buy the box set, and that will run you 500 dollars right now.

[@nightmarelyoko]

Try moving the ball joint on the head forward I did this and my primes and it fixed the head problem , and there's spots in the trailer near that back where you can tap the sword and axe can tab and stay

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Thanks for the tip, and yeah there are but that's boring, putting them in the Tanker is so much cooler.

[@nightmarelyoko]

@@PerspectiveEnd fair

[@djbrunson2736]

One thing I realize about the laser Optimus prime he has light piping in his eyes like a little bit… you probably knew that 😂

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I mean he'd need a light receptor at the back of his head which he doesn't have, but yes they seem to be clear plastic eyes.

[@charperalta9489]

i've seen others say that this could be a g1nified bayverse optimus prime and i somewhat see that in the alternate mode i don't see it entirely

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Or you could argue that Bayverse prime is actually a take on this G2 more extreme prime than it ever was of the OG Optimus.
