Mastermind Reformatted Optus Pexus (Optimus Prime)

[@AdamLloydJohnson]

Caleb's a good guy... I'm officiating his wedding in May. I'm glad he sent Optus Pexus to you for review. It doesn't fit in my collection but it does look great.

[@ifrit808]

To me this is IDW's Orion Pax, I know there is not a big difference from Prime, but the character's evolution makes it worth identifying it as a different bot in my mind.

[@asaphmartinez4225]

Ur absolutely right this is Orion pax, I've heard its from the storm bringer continuity 👍

[@lordmechatron6144]

@@asaphmartinez4225 You're right he is from Storm Bringer

[@moloko912]

But wasnt he already optimus prime in the stormbringer storyline with dreadwing? If so then both count

[@asaphmartinez4225]

@@moloko912 I really don't know brother like I said I've heard he's from that continuity, but what I do know is I got him in hand yesterday from Toydojo and man He is AWESOME 👍

[@bryanmackey1690]

First time hearing about the possible issue on the back of the legs. Good tip! Thank you, for all you do skullface. I really appreciate you and your videos! I wish you and your family nothing but the best!

[@Megatron118x]

I’ve had this guy for about a week, it’s easily one of the best Optimus figures ever made. So so good, MMC knocked it out of the park. I do agree about the bicep and knee tolerances though, mine are too tight as well

[@HashbrownMashup]

I kinda wish he had options for the smokestacks he had at the beginning of Chaos Theory, him breaking one off and using it t o stab the Senate thug was a pretty Iconic moment.

[@terra.obxcura]

you might even say a pretty Iaconic moment.

[@lowellmartens6135]

I never see these reformatted in person, thank-you for the review. I t is always appreciated.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

Got mine today and I love it, I understand your critics and I agree with them, maybe the next time MMC tries something like this they will take them into consideration, specially the tolerances. Mine didn’t come with any of the extra accessories, I’m talking about the grey guns and the extra head but that probably has to do with my distributor so I’m going to contact them before even saying who they were. This is probably going to be one of my best of 2021 action figures. Thanks for the review Mr. Skullface.

[@Levi_52_336]

I'll watch this after I do my Stats homework.

[@traviswhite3399]

Great review! I have this figure but he remains in a box for at least the next month...while I wait on my new home to be completed...I had never heard about tolerance issues but I’m taking heed of all that was said. Thanks for all you do

[@RBrown803]

Awesome! This is sitting in my stash right now. Out of all the reviewers, I tend to agree with your sentiment the most.

[@cantinaoftransformers8661]

Sooo nice!!!

[@cgawesome4725]

Been waiting for this one bob

[@ericgorman9942]

I believe I've heard you say on NRR that you try to avoid comments but I'm gonna do it anyway...I just wanted to let you know that your reviews help a very long over-night shift seems so much shorter. I just wanted to say thank you. Carry on...

[@RTsunami23]

Nice. Looks good in both modes.

[@toddmcdonald2450]

Omg this piece is well made. I just finished transforming the XTB stunticons and in comparison this thing feels minty.

[@vvcc9565]

the legs do go back, just drop the hip down.

[@bpo1975]

I hope you do an Xtransbots Locke vs. Fanstoys Koot video (on an unrelated subject).

[@alc4528]

Fanstoys might have the best sculpts, paint, and quality of plastic. Though mmc has the best engineering, imagine if we combined both aspects of them

[@frankielawless]

An amazing piece. Im just wondering how i would incorporate it into my collection.

[@asaphmartinez4225]

With supermegatron that just came out, hes from the manga as well

[@吳伯特-b6v]

The grey guns and alternate head are exclusive to preorders from PSX.

[@asaphmartinez4225]

Just bought him Saturday @toydojo he is awesome my 1st mmc figure. Wish they would make a Megatron like this but, from the manga, like how Takara did with their supermegatron, i have him as well, but nowhere near articulated as this. Very 😎 📹 👍🙏🙏.

[@P4551V3]

5:55 ... "Looks good" Be honest we all hate the grille kibble

[@rinzler9171]

If MMC did a CHUG style IDW Prime at this scale to kick Toyworld Orion off his throne with this engineering thrown in, it'd fly off the shelves.

[@lordmechatron6144]

I like that Pop Smoke shout out. I got this guy like a week or 2 ago from PSX and I still can't put him down. I'm already a fan of MMC so this was a automatic cop. Really dope articulation throughout the figure. Paint is great. I will say though, I wish the alt mode looked a little better but no big deal. My only real issue is that he doesn't hold his guns that securely. I can't tell you how many times I have to adjust them and the handle isn't big enough for his hands to wrap around them tightly. On a side note: I heard MMC actually lost money making this figure, they didn't realize how expensive painting it would be. I'm thinking about picking up a 2nd copy just for back up in case I break this one. Also, seeing how reissues are going wit these 3rd Parties companies, I already know a reissue of this figure is going to cost more than what it is now plus, the paint job might not be as great as this first run. I hope MMC continues to put this type of articulation in the rest of their figures moving forward.

[@PaulSpurgeon]

Even if he were perfect, I just don't need Yet Another Optimus in my life. I'm full up on Optimii.

[@poolcueronin2845]

The old head is the old headsculpt that the figure was gonna use, I believe. Due to fan outcry, they redid the head, but it looks like they kept the old one as an extra accessory.

[@edmundolastra3279]

Awesome review. Wonder if this one is worth the late tax for those of us that didn't get it right away.

[@jasonreyes1342]

I think MMC is doing a reissue, but with less paint. Toydojo and BBTS still have this in stock.

[@brianpavlina8638]

This figure has the look of an Orion Pax FOC feel.

[@THEShoky]

Its cool boss.

[@defstar1774]

Will it be released in black?

[@TheShadowKarl]

In my opinion MMC knocked this one out of the park. This is an early choice for figure of the year. I think MMC is definitely showing it is going to stay in the mix of top tier for 3rd party Transformers.

[@CYMAXX]

It does a toe touch? This piece has some interesting articulation. But I don't have a place in my collection for another "Prime".

[@mark4flair376]

Bobby "is a prime time player" Face!

[@VRHyoumaru]

Putting in my preorder with TFSource was a mistake, they won't have him until April.

[@GibDozer1]

I like super articulation but the hands don't look great. Fingers are too long imo. Think interchangeable hands are really the way to go, or MP 36 style hands.

[@deang5386]

Yeah I always thought his hand were strange. Would of been nice to have an option

[@nicadimusvariant8340]

What happened to the skits?? Are we going to see anymore?

[@trustarscreamer]

Wait, a Prime released without an Axe? Doesn't that break the law? Lol. I cannot wait to get this guy though.

[@TheACcam]

Don't worry, it still comes with a matrix. which he doesn't need.

[@iban9468]

Prime???? It looks like IDW Orión Pax...anyway awesome figure.

[@moloko912]

Yes he was orion in this design but he was also optimus prime with this design in the stormbringer storyline

[@Sportimus]

Pretty snazzy figure. I'm just not excited for the design. Otherwise great articulation and detail. Well done overall. I like it. Cool review.

[@impossiblepie]

Vehicle mode looks like his legs and crotch, they just chopped off primes upper torso. Robot mode looks good , any diecast?

[@luminusprime]

Reformatted ten years already? Hmm, I guess if you count the three it took for Hexatron to ship...

[@fidel0666]

Its just too bad we couldn't also get individually articulated toes....

[@lonewolf-qs7kk]

design is great version for him in is origin comic

[@ARM27799]

This guy should come with 40w shock oil

[@kaizen209]

getting kinda sloppy Bobby. quit winging it and truly go through and review the figures before you do your "review"...for as much crap Ben gets, the brother is thorough. even though he just seems to "loves everything" 😂😂😂 we still love you Bobby, just a little constructive criticism.

[@kaizen209]

@Cmndr Roy Fokker that's why i quoted in quotation marks "loves everything" but for all his faults, there's many, he's always thorough, and very rarely will i get a sense that he is winging it. Bobby shouldn't be on camera wondering if the chest piece pegs in or not...that's just sloppy. that said, he's still my favorite TF guy...
