Pretty much every question in regards to toy limitations can be answered with one word - "MONEY". Not giving him ratchets in the hips was a cost-cutting measure. Prime's tail end even told ME, a total toy biz outsider, that Hasbro was frantically trying to shave costs wherever possible. Remember that other Beast Hunters Prime? That one had no ratchets anywhere and mine at least has turned into spaghetti. Every joint is so loose, he can't hold up his own weight. A pity, he looked pretty bad ass but the toy is worthless by now.

"it ain't easy being green" -Cookie monster's frogie friend

[@seeeabaasssiliketransforme9904]

the only attachment I have to that figure is one time I was at my friend's house and he literally had this version, but he didn't know how to transform it cuz he wasn't into transformers, so he told me I could just have it. I even asked his mom, and she said it's his stuff so she doesn't care. so I got really excited, but then when my mom came to pick me up she said, "no you're not allowed to take other people's stuff, now let's go"

I got the same model around 10 years ago. Never got the sword just like you. Still, I remember how happy I was back then when I got it. Time flies.

[@daddyinthestreetsenpaiinth9250]

This figure is truly deserves the "hunchback of cybertron" moniker.

[@DoctorMysterio15]

Oh my I love this iteration in particular.

[@crimson7000]

We need the Voyager version of this

[@Bakuopp]

If I remember correctly, the only reason this guy exists was because the senior director of design for Transformers at the time in Hasbro DEMANDED a green Optimus Prime to go along with the dragons he also PUSHED on the team during the whole season 3 fiasco, so the toy designers were pretty much forced to shoe-horn this Optimus figure in at a budget that was already being stretched paper-thin due to having to remake the entire season 3 line from the ground up for Beast Hunters.

[@magicweegee2704]

Bruh looks like the Player 2 Story Mode Vehicle from LEGO Star Wars💀

[@Sideswiper1983-on6po]

I genuinely don’t see the hate for the rid 2015 prime

[@pablesm]

This redeco shows Optimus after he was painted by Shockwave to be turned into Fake Soylent Green in the Transformers x Soylent Green movie, Soylent Greenlight. In this movie, the green version of Soylent commands a higher price on the market, because green transformers are less common than red or blue ones. So the Decepticons started painting all the Autobots green to get more money from their fake food business.

I saw this Optimus at my local comic shop and I thought it looked so weird with those colors, is this the first time we have ever seen a green Optimus

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

I vaguely remember this being red without a transformation but having the guns firing out. 2012 plastic has indeed not aged well. Interesting thing about Prime Magnus. Never got the original one, but got I guess The BH one which was a retool of the Prime mold with a winged backpack and hammer.

[@jaydenklassen2567]

Or at least I think it is

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

Not really. Nemesis' color scheme was just a desaturated prime color scheme. Though the toy was the typical black and teal nemesis paint job.

[@Csthedirector]

Looks cool to me especially those shoulder cannons

[@zentaya999]

I am not 100% sure but iirc, the reason why Optimus is green is solely because one of the toy designers REALLY wanted to make a green Optimus

okay what's the name of the outro track? Sam the cooking guy uses it too I think and had no luck finding out there

[@martinmespiespinosa7218]

I had these, and the repaint with original Prime color, and actually feels hollow. It's kinda sturdy, but because of the plastic and the hollow, it has that feeling that is one of those cheap Knock Off, although it has electronics.

[@vibespidersstudios8895]

I got a quick question that most people have asked before. Could you customize this toy to have a ball joint from another figure mold that you don’t use so it sits better on the head?

[@NoahApolonio]

I was actually imagining the primeverse optimus prime as the green goblin

I remember when my cousin got me this for a holiday

[@DragmaKerp]

Is funny how this one is more accurate than the rid voyager but only from the front… Also I had the opportunity to get the red normal one back in the day for reduced price and I passed on him because of the huge backpack put me off, kinda regret it, but not much, just a bit This toy makes me miss the old gimmicky toys, they had gimmicks but tried to maintain the looks and articulation as much as possible. Now they make bricks that has next to 0 articulation, not even an attempt to be faithful to the model… and of course, more expensive than before

[@tflego98]

For some reason this was one of he only transformers prime figures I got. Tbh it’s a pretty decent figure

[@captainfordo3978]

I have a theory as to why this Optimus is green. Besides the "why not" excuse, I think it's supposed to be the color of the semi truck Optimus Prime scanned when he first arrived on Earth.

[@MaxwellWurme]

Hera’s a mean green freedom for all sentient beings machine!

[@OAnalista-l9g]

I have to say, I had the original mold/deco and I loved it and this deco looks actually really cool to me but unfortunately my copies legs and hips just absolutely shattered and I had to throw it away cuz it was in pieces and I really wish it was still intact cuz it was awesome
