Any review that has someone have to Convert MP-44 for a Size Comparison gets a Like in my book. Man went above and beyond the Call of Duty to put himself through that.

[@akmalfakhruddin7285]

i might have to tell you emgo has two mp 44 (one of which is a ko)

[@emgo316]

I like transforming mp-44 so even if I didn’t have the second copy I’d have no problem transforming it.

[@tristanowen1128]

Honestly my favorite prime, so glad we're finally getting 3rd party versions

[@maxcanonstunner6532]

The review that I'm been waiting for. Thanks for the review, emgo316. Also reminder to those who don't know, this is a pre release copy of the figure. The actual final version will come in some time. So the problems that this version has might be fixed in the final product.

[@Andyjoe522]

According to other videos I've seen reviewing the pre-release version TnR has already confirmed that the final figure won't have the black tabs on the bottom of the super-mode feet. Apparently, they found that they held fine enough to the back of the legs in normal mode without them. This is also the only video I've seen mentioning the matrix being loose, so that may just be an issue that'll vary from copy to copy. Hopefully, it'll be rare if not nonexistent on the final version.

[@GenzorX]

can Wing Saber/Wing Blade attach to this one like the Cybertron Prime from the early 2000s?

[@maxcanonstunner6532]

@@Andyjoe522 thanks for the information about the final version.

[@maxcanonstunner6532]

@@GenzorX don't know for sure.

[@MunkyDrag0n]

​@@GenzorX No, the proportions are just off enough that it is unlikely to work. Look on magmotion's video. TR02 towers over original prime.

[@thedeadrissing]

I'm really glad I have this on pre-order and I hope they end up doing a Megatron/galvatron

[@TerryTurner]

I hope they make a Leobreaker for this. Fingers crossed!🤞😁

[@OmegaII]

Same, but it doesn't look like there is a place for Prime's arm to go, so not holding my breath.

[@MunkyDrag0n]

There is a + shaped slot where the arms fit into that leobreaker could fit into. However it is the wrong shape and not spring loaded so it cannot handle the original leobreaker. A new leobreaker would need to fit via friction alone. Also, the backpack cannot allow the arm folded back, so unless a new backpack is made, savage claw and super mode cannot work at the same time. Magmotion has a video featuring OG sonic wing mode so that seems more possible for the future.

[@blazesona12]

leobreaker and wing saber

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

How cool would it have been if both Leobreaker and Wingsaber combined with Optimus at the same time? Something catchy like Sonic Claw or Savage Wing mode.

[@solbadguy9025]

And a Wing Saber, can't forget that one.(Same goes to Fans Hobby)

[@Shanali-ry1nl]

Emgo, this Commander of Stars figure from Transform & Roll Out is the number one best representation of Cybertron Optimus Prime, and I'm really glad that you reviewed it, now let's hope they make their own takes on Cybertron Wing Saber and Leokaiser to combine with this figure!

Because so many people have been talking about the cyber planet key: TR is not making the key. The key is included by the distributor for showz and bombusbee as a preorder bonus. They are presumably not profiting from it, which is how they can likely avoid legal trouble. Early reviewers have assured customers will be getting the key.

[@Serenity_Dee]

Far and away my favorite non-G1 Prime! I already preordered one and now I'm even more excited for it.

[@decepticonshadows3901]

Haven’t seen it in the comments but the key itself is going to be a retailer exclusive so it won’t come with the figure itself standard. I know showzstore will be giving out the keys, don’t know about any others. Cannot wait for this guy, easily the best figure in a long time. Fingers crossed for a Megatron/Galvatron to go with this guy!!!

[@Cwronaga216]

I really hope you'll check out the TFC toys Supreme tactical Commander carrier version which is basically their unique take on a Cybertron Prime/Nova Prime/Beast Hunters Prime when it eventually comes out. It's basically a completely new heavy retool so it's different enough of a character for you to check out. But we haven't gotten any painted images yet so it might be a good while out

[@kubekzpiciem]

I guess no review of the prime itself without trailer, because he is absolutely horrendous without it

[@darrenbent7601]

I would love to see someone do an MP version of 2001s RID Omega Prime (Optimus Prime/Ultra Magnus) and the 10in1 Galvatron.

[@RID01S]

[@darrenbent7601]

@@RID01S And I almost forgot about the Train Bros. There's got to be MP versions of them too. Going back to Galvatron, there's one mode which needs some major improvement, the Land Vehicle mode. As it stands, it basically looks like a platform with wheels, it needs a canopy of some sort.

I thought the bionicle was gonna say "Our worlds are in danger" at the beginning of the video

[@edwardelric880]

Wow. This just goes to show how good the original toy was, especially for its time. There's very little that had to be changed or updated here, even less than Galaxy Meteor compared to OG Cybertron Starscream. I'd love to see them make an updated Cybertron Megs.

[@chasen0436]

kinda funny how the sample has better QC than the full release

[@djt08031996]

Has there ever been a version of TF Cybertron Optimus with a Nemesis Prime recolor?

[@Recoverel]

It's a great figure.....if the QC was done correctly. Many, including mine, have problems: fingers broken, sloppy paint job.

[@Shanali-ry1nl]

I wouldn't mind the sloppy paint job, but the fingers breaking? Oh yeah, Transform and Roll Out better step their game and fix that issue immediately!

[@zazaranger5]

I hate to admit it, but Megs actually has a good valid point about Prime. I'm kinda surprised Bumblebee didn't show up

[@Spartana498]

So im not sure if your copy has this problem but mine has many ratchets that are either too tight or too lose and the fingers falling apart

[@Spawnus]

I'll always see this version of Optimus Prime as just Galaxy Force Prime.... want this though!

My only gripe for this figure is the lack of cyber key functionality. And I don't mean the light up gimmick.

23:20 "Open, damn it, open!

[@nine_tails137]

Woah! This is almost identical to Cybertron Optimus Prime. Aside from a few extra transformation steps, and no cyber key slot, or spring loaded projectiles like the original. But seriously, looking at them side-by-side, I can barely tell them apart(except for size).

[@Seal_Sage]

Based on what I'm aware of from another review, that's a pre production sample, which is why it has the official autobot logo on the key, and some things are gonna be removed or changed from the official production release

[@MunkyDrag0n]

No, the key is not made by TR. It is made by the distributor for Showz and Bombusbee. Showz will include it for preorders while supplies last. Why wouldn't Bombusbee? The changes that will be made for sure are redundant black tabs on the legs will be removed. Some people have notified TR of the backpack straps being too difficult to slot in and the finger joints breaking too easily. Supposedly they are still taking feedback into account before full production resumes on January 29th.

[@FSKyurem]

Had to come back to this review for the batteries used, but while I’m here I can say that when I got my figure, right out of the box half of his fingers crumbled to nothing but fortunately my figure came with a set of replacement fingers. In addition, the right shoulder ratchet broke after messing with it so caution for tight joints is required. And sadly the die cast has already begun to suffer from paint chipping. Overall not a perfect figure, but still very good

[@vngaming255]

the figure isn't looking good so far. i mean, i preordered it and i still haven't gotten the figure but so far the reports on the figure isn't making it look very good. i'm beginning to have 2nd thoughts

[@FSKyurem]

@@vngaming255 It’s up to you if you want to cancel your order, I’m just reporting my experiences with the figure so far. I will go on record saying that it feels like a glorified model kit figure just based on the plastic quality. Imo, some joints could have benefitted from being die cast like the shoulders Edit: The Cyber Planet Key that he comes with uses the original key mold, it fits perfectly into my original Cybertron Optimus’s and Supreme Starscream’s key slots

[@emgo316]

[@09hereweare]

I like this better than the FansHobby Primes but I still am yet to see a third-party Unicron Trilogy figure that gets it right for me. The Unicron Trilogy was my G1 and I can't quite put my finger on what it is but something about these figures is just really off/wrong to me. I've really liked the Hasbro releases though (other than Galaxy Upgrade Prime, which is fine but not amazing). It may be that I have always cared more about the toys than the shows and the third-party figures are trying to look more like the cartoon than the original toys. Either way, I'm glad to see a bit more love for stuff outside of G1 (as much as I love G1). Hopefully it continues and someone can crack the code.

[@Twinsidedsoldier]

Thank you for the review Emgo, this figure has been an enigma for me for quiet some time and hearing the horror stories of their Jazz figure left me quite cautious. It definitely looks good as a stand alone figure but it was definitely does not feel like it was designed for the UT love of suiting up Prime more than he already does alone. I'll wait a bit to see the options out there even if that means losing out on preorder bonus.
