Transformers Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime Review

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thank you for checking out this review of EARTHRISE leader class Optimus Prime! Be sure to let me know what you think of the figure down below! NOTE: It has come to my attention that I completely FORGOT to showcase the blaster! I will be sure to show it off to you all in my next review! Really sorry!

I'm one of those people who are very happy with Siege and Earthrise releases...they have made Transformers playable again! I have nothing against masterpieces they are really great for collecting, but nothing beats picking up a transformers figure, transforming it, and playing it with friends or with my daughter, and doing it all over again until our hands hurt! Thanks for the review! On my toes waiting for my Optimus earthrise!

[@DragoonMS]

Depends on which MP figure you're talking about. Older ones, like Soundwave (and his Minions), Starsaber, MP10 Optimus, the "Super Z Bros." (Prowl, Bluestreak, & Smokescreen), and even a couple more recent ones like Hot Rod are pretty fun to play with and transform. (Hot Rod feels similar to the G1 toy anyway, moreso than the Power of the Primes one)

This is my definitive WfC trilogy Prime. I'm getting this!

[@Vampyr787]

Here's a thing about size classes. Thay aren't based on the robot's size they are based on the overall mass of all the plastic in the box. In each line there's a minimal and maximal mass for each size class. They actualy come from super hero action figures like batman or superman sold by kenner. There was basic class that contained just figure with small accessory and then deluxe that contained a figure of the same size with just more accessories or some bigger accessories. Bigger size classes were invented to accomodate bigger accessories like vehicles. Hasbro adapted this system when they bought kenner and with transformers it was decided that bigger size classes will contain bigger and more complex or more gimmicky robots. Still nowadays it's based on the mass and not size of the robot. That's why Animated Prowl had a lightbar weapon, he just was too massive for scout and not massive enough for deluxe, they just had to add somethimg more. That's why Studio Series Leader Shockwave contains Paratrooper, Brains and Wheelie and Leader DOTM Megatron contains Igor. This is also why they classify some Voyager characters with more accessories in War for Cybertron trilogy as Leaders. Actualy it seems to be the theme of Leaders in that trilogy, every leader so far is a Voyager with more accessories or big accessory.

[@ryanvariousgamesyt8792]

Word of Caution: There are some reports of stress marks on his chest while folding in the chest while transforming from vehicle to robot mode or robot to vehicle mode. The reason why it is so is that the panel on the chest bumps up to the other side and forcing it will put stress on the plastic, forming that stress mark. Hopefully this will not be a widespread issue as I am planning to buy this figure.

[@baddabing4494]

Has-Tak better up their MP game with their recent weaknesses (Bee 2.0, Beast Wars spider lady {her name escapes me lol}) especially when you can get virtual MP's at such a mark-down in Earthrise. Also, I really don't like this new trend of Hasbro selling voyagers as leaders (like a 10$ mark up for accessories). If Optimus or Shockwave came as just themselves with voyager prices, and then had their accessories available for maybe like 15$ or something as a separate piece, I think that would be much more consumer friendly. I can understand Ultra Magnus though.

[@Quantum_Magnus]

Blackarachnia. And I agree. The $50 USD price point is a bit steep. All the figures classed as “leaders” so far should be no more than $40, but I’ll be nice since I remember that these people need to earn a living as well, so $45. It’s not like it’s unaffordable for me, it’s just a little off putting.

[@reaktorleak89]

For some reason, the Siege Prime looks more bigger until you stand them side by side. They definitely improved upon Siege and made him less bulky -especially the ugly back on the Siege. I thought the Siege was good. I am glad they continue to make improvements in each version.

This review doesn't mention the gun at all 2:13 I wish they placed the trailer hitch further down the legs like in the middle of all wheels or far enough down to allow the cap to make full 90 degree terms

Gosh, and I thought I loved the Siege version of Prime. The Earthrise version is so much sleeker (for a boxy boy) with an elegant transformation and an actual Matrix of Leadership. And that articulation, wow. They did an excellent job on this baby. Now, if only I could get it without the trailer, or the Trailer turned into some Ultra Magnus/Powermaster armor…

@@Quantum_Magnus I agree, though some have given Siege Shockwave a fan mode to look like a cannon.

[@DragoonMS]

@@Quantum_Magnus Let's not forget about Titans Return Sixshot with his sorry excuse for a "submarine" mode...which was just the gun mode flipped upside down. On the other hand, for Megatron, an Earth mode tank similar to the G2 Megs would be somewhat sensible. At the very least, they can retool it to make a Bludgeon based on the OG Bludgeon's inner robot instead of the Pretender Shell, like just about every modern iteration of him...

Considering that there's a good chance that this will be the last G1-styled Optimus Prime I'll ever buy I'm more than happy with paying a bit extra for it.
