The Legend BEGINS... | Legacy Alpha Trion & Orion Pax 2-Pack [Transformers Review & Analysis]

This review has it all: Cool toys, sexual innuendo, and yet another conspiracy busted wide open!
Show Notes:
Sorry this one is really late, it was supposed to be out last Friday.
I think I used the extra time well enough. Still working to balance the music and voice over. I'm trying to experiment with camera movement again, though there isn't much in this video specifically. And it was definitely a challenge to write about two figures in one video, while still keeping it succint.
I probably could've added some more, specifically about Orion, but I didn't want his section to be disproportionate to Trion's since I didn't have as much to say about him. Its hard to write about a figure when you think it's just "fine"
Anyway, thanks again. I got another unboxing on the way this week too!

[@BEkov-kd8cf]

the orions belt bit was some of the funniest writing I've seen in forever

[@Gei4Mei]

It’s all true bro 😳 I didn’t make that up

[@SonicHedgehog1991]

I just had this weird realization that if Alpha Trion never transform, why not just have him be a RED figure with a fabric cape or something?

[@Gei4Mei]

See! RED would be way better if it did stuff like that and not every G1 character I already own

[@RiderOrigin]

I think you outdid yourself with this one, especially with that mind-blowing, paradigm-shattering, possibly spiritual revelation at the end. You got a piglet here for life.

[@Gei4Mei]

Ty 🥺 this is the result of decades of research lol

[@Brianguyanddude]

I enjoy the more lowkey coomer humor you got goin on in your reviews. As for the set itself, it does look really neat but I'm content with my S86 Scourge and Kup.

[@Gei4Mei]

Yeah its really meant for huge marks like myself lol

[@leafyisnthere9396]

THIS is why I love your reviews, even if I may not get any of them.

[@Gei4Mei]

What is “This” I dunno what part u mean 🥺

[@leafyisnthere9396]

[@impsimp8240]

I cannot get over how funny you are. Please take my money and body.

[@impsimp8240]

Nevermind my mom said I can’t

[@Gei4Mei]

I’ll talk to her

[@Robizoid]

Alpha Tyrion may not be from Detroit but Cybertron sure resembled Detroit when the Decepticon were through with it!

[@Gei4Mei]

Very true !

[@shebakoby]

I always had the idea since seeing the Sweeps, that Unicron made a deliberate design choice there, making a mockery of Alpha Trion's appearance. Subdurmal on TFW2005 boards made a photocomic where (Legacy) Bulkhead accuses Alpha Trion of being a Sweep and Alpha Trion indignantly replies that he is NOT a Sweep, he's the ancient father of the Autobots. At some point in the comic a SS86 Sweep calls Alpha Trion "Grandpa?" and Bulkhead goes, "I _KNEW_ IT! SWEEP!"

[@jordancasillan5965]

I really want this pack since I'm obsessed with prime but I hope it's not a lot. But this set is really nice and I love it! Keep it up! Also glad to see you in that collab video with TFanpage101 that was like a infinity war crossover.

[@Gei4Mei]

Yeah we talked about it a month or so ago. He got a few cool guys actually

[@Cinder_the_Art_Gal8144]

Anyone else think that Movie verse Sentinel Prime was SUPPOSED to be Alpha Trion from the design but they used Sentinel Prime as his name because it was there and hasbro could have not have the name trademark for Alpha trion at the time of Dark of the moon was being made?

[@SirGrimLockSmithVIII]

Oh fuck

[@Gei4Mei]

Maybe? I’m not explicitly familiar with the history. I just remember he was yellow in the first teaser

[@gshr5891]

Doubt it. Sentinel used Ultra Magnus as his concept name so that's probably where they were heading at first. And Sentinel being a traitor as well as Optimus' predecessor lines up with the lore of some comics that came out before DOTM so it would suggest that Sentinel was always meant to be a representation of his comics counterparts and not Alpha Trion.

[@rafifthesecond9023]

Gei 4 Mei script is absolutely legendary. The orion section got me good.

[@philsavage7153]

This was a great set. That alpha trion is perfect.

[@Gei4Mei]

I like him a lot

[@joaomotta7791]

I've seen this review about 4 times already and just now i paused to read the script, amazing.

[@Gei4Mei]

Need to add more rewatchability to my videos

[@Pikmin911]

Alpha Triceps is my new favorite character

[@Gei4Mei]

Somebody needs to draw him for me lol

[@nicholasgrier5886]

great review man! we need more reviewers like you!

[@FastforwardxD]

bro most of the time I don't even care about the figures you're reviewing, I'm here for the mind-bending spiritual revelations

[@Gei4Mei]

I’ll try to keep em coming

[@konstantinszelcs2766]

Yeah, it's not on my radar (it even isn't POSSIBLE for me). Closest relevance I have to this is Nemesis Pax. And one does wonder how HE should be depicted. (Maybe along with Nem-Rod as typical Decepticon goons, and they seem edgy.) 3:24-3:33 That is, if some of us even HAVE that opportunity with a chick (for the male) or dude (for the female). (4:03 And I want said [white] woman, only a matter of "if".) And yes, it is annoying for a figure to have light piping only for the eyes to get painted over. (Just ask DOTM Fireburst Optimus Prime.) (Are we sure Orion Pax is not named after the DC character Orion?)

[@Gei4Mei]

They’re probably both named after the Mythological character lol

[@Loremastrful]

T'Challa: And get that bot... a shield! It's a shame Hasbro does not universal compatibility like Lego. Orion Pax with Cap's Shield would be something. The set itself is ok, but not enough to go out of the way for them.

[@Gei4Mei]

I think the regular black Lego pegs fit in 5mm holes, you could probably put something together 🤔

[@Majinhero]

that my e girlfriend has the same birthmark as my sister is a coincident though, she explained this to me. no idea why she was bright red and swetting though.

[@isaiahp.4609]

when will we get Dion and Ariel for Legacy.

[@primusvsunicron1]

Ariel from SS86 Arcee

[@Gei4Mei]

I feel like Dion has a good chance, I hope he gets a figure soon

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Did you see that RoTB teaser that just dropped about an hour ago? Fantastic timing on Paramount's part, realeasing footage of Prime saysing "Let them come" a day after you-know-which month has passed.

[@cooldestroyer115]

Another banger video as always

Thank you oomfie

I love the box art but they messed up the legs on Orion. One leg is way longer than the other.

[@Gei4Mei]

Is it? I had never noticed

[@Pokehon]

Very cool!

[@Gei4Mei]

I know they are 😳 glad to have them lol

[@thaizilla1984]

I love when Orion say "It's prime'time" and Optimus all over the Decepticon

[@timrice7317]

My Earthrise Optimus has white thighs... because I was compelled to paint that beautiful representation of a Prime.

They should’ve definitely repainted him like that. I’m holding out for an 86 Prime now tho

[@spittor47]

Think you cut out a part from your script 🤔

[@Gei4Mei]

Which part would that be 👀

[@KRBrickBot]

One of my Orion's leg wheels is a bit clogged up with friction.

[@Gei4Mei]

Is there loose plastic around it or an uncut nub that you can see?

[@JusteDesserts]

…Never realized that Aqua nendo didn’t have panties till now

[@TheSheepWielder]

Hey you think they'll ever do a Devcon from SS86 Scourge?

[@Gei4Mei]

I really want them to, but I would prefer a new mold

[@shaunhandley3050]

Every review I've seen nobody has twigged that onions shoulders come the wrong way around right from the box. If you look at the instructions and other images, that sloped line? It's supposed to slope down towards his chest and not outwards. Easy fix by rotating the shoulders so arms point up and then just swing the arms out and down

[@shadowfreddy4696]

the 5 millimeter peg probably will loosen over time if you raptly take them out, because that happened with my Kup.

[@Gei4Mei]

Good thing I barely touch my figures lol

[@gshr5891]

Would you consider doing a review of some older figures? I'd like to see an Alternators/Binaltech review.

[@Gei4Mei]

Maybe, but I dunno how many people would care about that

[@gshr5891]

Sad Alternators/Binaltech aesthetic is really appealing to me as it was realistic vehicles before the live-action movies.

Where’s the rest of the Ariel and Orion story? It’s important. Asking for a friend. The set is nice but personally always thought Orion was kinda ugly. Alpha Trion is always cool though and I think the mold does work for him.

I think they chose the more iconic head because it's more iconic and Alpha Trion is a Prime now therefore he is OLD like SUPER OLD.
