Hey Man! I feel like it's been a While since I saw you comment? Yeah, the fact that you don't swivel the waist, is a pretty cool change. When the legs do the work rather than the waist, it's so much better.

[@jaydonmagan4694]

I’ve been kind of surprised with the amount of work that’s been put into these Reactivate figures, especially since the game isn’t even out yet. For the Optimus Prime, he is definitely the largest voyager Optimus we’ve gotten in a while. And other than a few minor design details I have an issue with (such as I think his eyes should have been bigger), this figure and the SS 102 have easily become my top 2 favorite Hasbro-made Optimus figures that I own (Yes, I finally got the official SS 102; I had a gift card from Christmas and found some copies of him being sold around $50, so I took my chance). If I had to compare the two of them I’d say they’re kind of tied in terms of posability, with each of them having an aspect of articulation that the other lacks (ex: 102 having better feet movement and a technical ab-crunch while Reactivate has better shoulder movement with more range in how far back his legs can move). Reactivate has the overall better truck mode and leg transformation, with the 102 having the better upper body/truck cab transformation (the clearance issues on the Reactivate transformation are really not that fun). In terms of plastic quality, they’re both pretty good, though I do prefer the feel of the 102’s plastic a bit more. Reactivate ultimately has the better accessories (while I like the sword 102 comes with his hand gun really is a dinky little thing). And then I’m a little tied on their robot modes since I like both of them. Overall, getting this two pack and the SS 102 has been a great start to 2024 for me.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

WOOOH!!! Free engagement!!!... Or a Glitch showing me the same comment twice.

I just didn’t want to put both things I had to say about each character under the same comment cause I know it’d make a really long comment; and the comment about Optimus is already long enough.

[@TheGreatSoundwave]

I’m happy these 2 came together since I have 2 shelves dedicated to Optimus and Soundwave Also I have a pretty cool theory for the game that also might explain why these 2 were put together I think Soundwave is going to be leading the Decepticons at the start and Megatron will show up later in the story, either he’s being controlled by the Quintessons and you have to fight him to put him back to normal, or he’s not even on earth and he’ll surprise the player when they least expect it, during a mission where it looks like the characters are going to lose (Also going to my first convention this year, I’ll be at TF Nation)

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I could see a Controlled Megatron being one of the Bosses you have to fight yeah. Good call on that.

[@AmericaChavez17]

6:08 can the Reactivate version actually wield the Bumblebee movie Optimus Prime's ion blaster? Cause if it too small and doesn't fit, I think the Bumblebee movie version might work for him

I already liked the BB and Optimus from pics alone but now I NEED this Optimus, no question.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

[@gmdexcillion3521]

honestly this is like the one optimus design that justifies a nemesis repaint in my eyes it always looks ridiculous on the other molds because his silhouette is just so heroic that red and black can't make it look evil but here it makes perfect sense the guy already looks like if bay's version of prime ripped off even more faces and also loved to crush people under his wheels in alt mode so making it a bad guy definitely tracks

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Oh for sure, a Nemesis version of this will look so Savage. It can only pair like fine wine to this mold.

this is how I imagine what these two would wish for if they won twisted metal (as clearly at least one of them stepped right out of it) Optimus: "My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, this war has gone on too long, taken so many lives. My wish is for an end to this war, my wish is for world peace. Calypso: "Granted. The war is over, as now there's no longer a planet to fight over, but don't worry. you get the last remaining piece all to yourself. Thank you for playing" For soundwave. Soundwave: "I am Soundwave. I am Decepticon. I serve Megatron as communications officer, without communications the Decepticon army will crumble, as such, my wish is to never falter, to be the perfect extension of Megatron's will, so that I may ensure the Decepticon cause may never fail" Calypso: "Granted. I upgraded your communications tech, you can manage communications 24/7 without any issue. Although, I had to clear up some space in your memory, nothing major, just your voice and most of your personality. Thank you for playing"

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Ben Custom Toys gave a really cool paint job to this soundwave a month or so ago, making what at first looks like a disproportionate figure feel like an awesome, deliberately stylized piece straight out of Nick Roche's sketchbook. Really shows that there's a truly badass design somewhere in the toy. As for Prime, I too love how hench he looks. I don't even mind the super busy faceplace, and usually I prefer my primes to have more simplistic masks, lest they start looking like cartoonish beaks. I only wish his toes were a little less pointy, as that probably makes putting him in running poses a bit of a hussle. WFC was really good about giving most of its toys this nice wide and fat toes to balance on top of even when they had cheaped out on the ankle pivots. Otherwise, this is one of my favorite geewunnish Primes next to Siege and Volvo.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

So what did you do to customize him? I don't find the Faceplate Super Busy here, I just don't like the way it's rounded in the cheeks. It should be a more mechanical shape. Yeah I'm always a fan of square feet.

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

@@PerspectiveEnd Sorry, I might've worded my comment weird, the customized Soundwave I was talking about was made by Ben Custom Toys. I've yet to do a lot witht he reactivate figures I've gotten, though I do intend on painting Prime's greys a nice silver or gunmetal grey. Oh yeah, I see what you mean with the mask being a little roundish. Usually it prefer it more squarish myself, but somehow it works really nice here. Reminds me a little bit of the headsculpt of PoTP Nemesis Prime, who looks like he's sporting the world's most shit eating, sadistic grin under his faceplate.

[@banobobot]

The 2 pack looks great! The only 2 nitpicks I have not mentioned here, perhaps because you don’t share my feelings about these VERY minor nitpicks, or I suppose one: this semi nitpick is that there’s a radar dish which I believe was supposed to be Laserbeak, doesn’t transform because of the size and price point, but it would have been nice. The real nitpick I have, which again, you might not share feelings of, but hear me out, the shin vents are on top of the truck bed, which is what I’ve seen almost every Optimus toy. These vents on the original Diaclone toy is supposed to be below the truck bed.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

An interesting point about the shin vents, though I can't say I'm too broken up about it since it's on like EVERY version of him. Though yeah it is funny that they are on most of them. Some of the only ones to not do that are the new Magic Square versions. And yeah a Soundwave doesn't feel complete without a Laser Beak.

[@lukeyskywalker1251]

Hey if you could test this I’d really appreciate it. Can Earthrise Prime hold the ion blaster and if so, can he do it without it being loose? I’ve been really looking for a good non-3D printed Ion Blaster and I dig this look but that grip is pitiful and I already know on my Earthrise Prime that there’s a decent gap between his fists and the top of his forearm so I’m kinda worried he just wouldn’t be able to hold it at all and I can’t find someone online trying it yet.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It's not loose at all, but it does look kind of big on him, and it wants to tilt forward because the back of it is pressing into his boxy wrists.

[@jetseekers]

What I got from the Prime Robot mode portion is that he needs Alternity Convoy's head instead. (most angular 'optimus' head I can think of)

[@PerspectiveEnd]

He does have some Classics Optimus energy. Like a product Improved version.

[@lukasgemmill8084]

The fact these 2 sets are 2 years old is insane. Soundwave is probably my favourite of the two? It works for me so well, it’s become my display Soundwave. Optimus took so long to grow on me. It was so tight and some of the panels were so sharp out of the box it actually cut my finger during transformation. I just had to work the joints and now he’s really good, but he’s not my favourite Prime of the last few years like he is for most people. I do definitely prefer the Bee and Screamer pack for sure though.

[@lukasgemmill8084]

Can you call the grill detain fauxforming if it flat out doesn't look like the actual grill? Like theres replacing the actual part for a fake one out of sheer laziness like SS BBM Cybertron Bee/Jumper, replacing it because the robot mode version of the part is so warped and deformed that to use the actual part would be inaccurate to one of either mode like Cyber Era BBM Bumblebee, and then "replacing" the part because it flat out doesn't look like the vehicle part at all. Like you said about Siege Optimus, the vehicle mode grill was this clear blue material while the robot mode one was silver. So if the designers wanted silver robot abs but have the blue grill there isn't a way to turn one into the other. Same with the windows on Ultra Magnus' chest. Red tinted windows, but clear or blue windows for truck mode. So on this Prime the truck has a wider grill with more detailed vents, while the robot mode has a taller grill with larger vent plating. How would you turn the truck one into the other?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

There is a point there to be fair yeah, but at the same time it does look like a Grill even if it doesn't look like THE GRILL. So it kind of goes both ways. It wasn't fully necessary considering they are two different designs, but at the same time they could have been one. And it would have made the Truck look even more Cyberpunky.

[@NexusProductions-rz1sv]

@@PerspectiveEnd And on that point it's the fault of the designers of the in game character, not the designers of the figure. On something like Earthrise Prime, where the toy designers do have control over the final design of the character itself, then it's something to consider. Or if it's the rare case where the toy is designed first then basically ported over to an animation model with basically no changes. Like it's a real bummer that there's still NO CHUG Prime that has the actual truck grill go into his abs but there's only like 3 that do it for actually no reason and I'm counting Volvo Prime.

That shoe quip was fucking funny. Love your reviews.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Thank you very much, I was proud of that one, and even more proud that people loved it.

[@diegos7337]

This Optimus is AMAZING!!! Love this set!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It's so cool. I can't believe how much I love the design.

[@shwayne9864]

Hello perspective!!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

How are you doing today?

[@shwayne9864]

Nice! Can't wait for your next video. Hope it's a longer one

[@ethantran178]

9:14, thats his engine, his feet turn into an engine, he has 6 cylinders per foot.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Wouldn't it be 5 because toes?

[@ethantran178]

@@PerspectiveEnd i mean, im assuming its a v12 since i think thats what most trucks run.

[@CyberKnightMiky]

Does look promising... might get it if I find them for cheaper since here in Sweden they cost like 900 sek or more, which is like 90 dollars.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Ouch. Yeah that's Brutal. I wouldn't want to pay that for these.

[@CyberKnightMiky]

@@PerspectiveEnd Precisely. It's even worse when Titan Class like Tidal Wave is like over 3000 sek (around 300 dollars), or Deluxe class is priced at 40 bucks, Voyager is 60 bucks and leader class is like 80 to 90 bucks (no joke). And for something that's for 8+, it's unacceptable which makes me not pay these Hasbro products anymore for that reason (plus that most of their products, not all, feel like knockoffs than actual ko).

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

You have made me want 2 things we can't have: 1) Redeco this Optimus into Doom Slayer 2) Redo all the CGI in the Bay films with better character designs. Like this Optimus. While expensive, that last one could be a way for Hasbro to milk... er... convince customers to keep rebuying the same films. Use it to promote existing lines and past lines as nostalgia bait, just by redoing the Transformers.

[@imagine040]

is it better then the siege though?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

No it's not, though it does look cooler.

[@imagine040]

@@PerspectiveEnd agreed

[@moosiefate]

I wanted to make a comment on your last video along the lines of: Cue all the responses that said you missed some releases… I’m sad that these won’t be released in Australia.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Are they not getting released there? Why? Maybe you can find them at a comic shop or something.

[@moosiefate]

@@PerspectiveEnd I’m not sure but from what I understand they just won’t be distributed here.

[@MrRobot1984]

Just gonna lay out this hypothetical to help the algorithm. Is Primus dead? If his body is Cybertron and one of the reasons for the war is energy depletion/energon mined from Cybertron. Does that mean transformers killed Primus by taking all his energy from the planet?
