Transformers Studio Series SS86 Optimus Prime

[@Mako_Official475]

I like to compare this Optimus and Earthrise with MP10 and MP44. MP10 and Earthrise go for a more simple transformation and with visible truck parts like the bed's wheels, while MP44 and SS86 go for a more complicated transformation and screen accuracy. It all depends of what you like for Optimus and I love that!!!

[@SixoTF]

Perfectly put

[@gracengragg2730]

I have all three earth rise , 86 and mp10 . I still love mp10 the most just for my own personal tastes . The way the backpack cleans up to almost bang on to the movie poster , the proportions and more realistic style. But they each are great figures. I wish someone would just update mp10 with moveable hip skirts and it would make him perfect for me

[@BromineBlues-om7yf]

Good analogy save for MP-44's build and control quality issues

@@gracengragg2730 Nice!!! I don't have the MP10, but for what i've seen it's the best Masterpiece Optimus in QC and design

[@Twin_Takoyaki]

I’ve been waiting for a mainline G1 Prime toy to really give me that “truck dad” vibe, since I got back into collecting. SS86 did it so well for me that I honestly teared up a little. He’s a dream come true for me

[@cyankoopa8111]

Was about to point this out! They're supports that makes the base mode stable enough to hold figures on top

[@McLongSausage]

I really think the backpack was a missed opportunity to give us some jetpack nozzle attachments, it wouldn't be the first SS86 figure to get a accessory not in the movie and would have went a long way towards justifying the backpack. Also I think once you look at Jetfire, Megmatron and especially Ultra Magnus and that awesome inclusion of being able to separate him from his trailer after transformation, they probably did or should have had the budget to include engineering so he could have the backpack removable.

[@SixoTF]

It would have been an interesting solution!

[@LoftyLoo]

While I still believe that SS86 is unquestionably the best Hastak G1 Optimus we've ever gotten (I even like him more than MP-44), my main disappointment is that the backpack wasn't a necessary evil. Magic Square made an Optimus that is even more accurate and better articulated than SS86 without needing a backpack or a faux grill at *Legends* scale and with a transformation that is about on par with SS86 in both complexity and fun factor. (Heck, it's so good that their MP offering is literally just an upscale with articulated fingers.) SS86 could have just taken inspiration from that upper body transformation and kept its existing leg transformation and it would have been unquestionably the best G1 Optimus on the market, official or third party. With that said, though, the forward and backwards butterfly joints that we got are very nice.

[@derloco2035]

Just got mine today: This version of Optimus Prime is just a great depiction of the character. The fun thing to me in comparison with his Earthrise counterpart is that Studio Series Optimus Prime gives me the same satisfying feeling while posing and transforming the toy like a few years back. Earthrise brought me back into collecting transformers and Studio Series is again a great toy - both of them now will have their well deserved place on my shelf because both being great iconic toys doing the character they depict justice.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

I have been primarily a Masterpiece Transformer collector but rising costs and tighter budgets caused me to stop collecting. The Transformer Haslabs of Victory Saber and Deathsaurus dragged me back in and showed me how amazing the Generations line could be. I was not going to miss out on the Haslab Omega Prime though. After that, I thought I was really done but then along comes this Studio Series Optimus and WOW. There is serious value for money here. I just could not afford MP 44 but this Studio Series Optimus Prime scratches that ich for me and now makes me want to track down that Studio Series Grimlock to pose next to Studio Series Optimus. Once that happens, I know I can't just get one Dinobot. Looks like Habro has roped me in again. Thanks for the review.

[@SixoTF]

My pleasure and happy to hear! I do agree with your assessment bc I was thinking the other day how expensive MP stuff has become but that this toy really bridges the gap in a way that it feels almost akin to what MP was doing ten years ago or more

[@McLongSausage]

Been waiting for this toy since I got into Studio Series last year.

[@SixoTF]

Hopefully it was worth the wait

[@BromineBlues-om7yf]

21:39 petition to label this process "breaking in a transformer" like breaking in shoes

[@SixoTF]

Haha good call

[@timburke2820]

I was seriously impressed with the SS Commanders they've done, both the Prime and the Ultra Magnus are phenomenal toys for their price point, and get a tone of play out of their setups. while comparing SS to Earthrise highlights just what they skimped on to get the Earthrise Prime to where was, I don't feel it's unfair to the Earthrise at all, as it's still loads of fun to play with as well. they have just put SO MUCH effort into our favorite Truck Dad in the past few years, it's hard to imagine them getting more out of the Big Guy without dropping the triple digit price tag. I'm happy to have both in my collection, and can't wait for them to get us a Megatron to properly duel with ss86 Prime ^_^

[@Godslegotable]

Im one of those guys who cant have optimus without the trailer. That look that ss86 has with the trailer is just stunning. I love it so much

[@ryanbryancyan]

Just a tip for the butterfly joint: you don't really need to pull them too hard to when you want to engage them. The tab that locks it in place is just too sharp that it almost acts like a hook, so the safest way to go about it is to just push the shoulder down a little bit before moving the joint.

[@SixoTF]

Nice

[@BenBoyee]

Got mine a couple of days ago, and while I'm not as over-the-moon with it like many folks are, it is a very nice figure and very much worth your time. Ordinarily, I'm not one for trailers and accessories, but prime's trailer here makes the vehicle mode look so much more complete. One of my favorite things is how he scales with SS86 Ultra Magnus in both modes. I'm not sure if there was much of a difference in height in the cartoon, but Magnus towers over Prime in robot mode, but in vehicle mode, Prime has a slightly bigger cab. You add the the trailer on top of that and there's an indescribable feeling of joy I get when seeing the two side by side. Really makes me tip my hat to the designers.

[@darkscoutergamer6168]

Still recommend it yeah? It looks awesome💙😎

[@BenBoyee]

@darkscoutergamer6168 oh yeah, it's a real nice toy

[@Zarmat85]

Glad you enjoyed him, not the biggest main line collector myself but had to have him. Been my go to transformer since to fiddle around and transform back and forth when bored.

[@SixoTF]

I’ve found the same

[@nintendoconvert4045]

Something about your lighting and/or color reproduction is just sublime 👍 👌. Optimus looks soooo good here and more premium than in some videos.

[@mpp8042]

This toy made me feel things, in a way i haven't since I was a kid. I swear to god it radiates and aura of joy.

[@SixoTF]

Agreed

[@thebaker525]

I adore this thing so much. The wizardry involved to get a G1-toon accurate Optimus into a Generations price point, with two stellar looking modes, highly articulated, AND a transformation that doesn’t make you want to scream? It’s magic.

[@frankenwolf8975]

He is utterly splendid. Honestly I don't have any real gripes with him, things like the head not being able to look up very far and the heel misassembly are such minor quibbles that, while I wish they were better, don't *really* matter. They got so much right. And for your window scuff, I don't know about their shipping to the UK but Toyhax has both powder blue and cel shaded windows that both look absolutely lush. I'm partial to the cel shaded set myself but the powder blue looks like it essentially just gets rid of the tab slots on the sides

[@muisverriet]

Mine unfortunately has some bad issues with stress marks on some parts, especially a big one on one of the front truck panels. It does bring the enjoyment factor down a fair bit for me, even if it can be fixed. That said, engineering wise i think this is perfect. Sure it has a backpack but that backpack doesn't hinder anything and isn't messy to transform either way. The way it hides the wheels is SO simple but genius. Posing this figure has also been an absolute joy, so easy to get him in a cool action pose. I do wish the head had, well, *any* upward range though

[@SixoTF]

Ahh sorry to hear! How annoying

[@totallynotmichael]

Honestly love your reviews, got no real complaints for them ever...except for the music. God I'd kill for you to have more than that one tune, it really gets grating after so much time

[@SixoTF]

Haha fair enough! Noted

[@totallynotmichael]

@SixoTF I do really want you to know I absolutely love the reviews themselves! It's just that the music has gotten very repetitive, especially in longer episodes like this one. Either way, keep it up! Looking forward to that Animated Prime double vid

The most important test; can Huffer pull Optimus Prime's trailer? Yes, the Kingdom version of Huffer can absolutely pull it. You're a true friend, Huffer.

[@goodmemesinmyjeans9715]

I got my copy a few months ago, love it. Definitely not one to one with the animation, I wish his arms bent more than 90 degrees and in my humble opinion, the antena on the head are just a bit too thick for me. But the proportions, the heft the quality and the paint are all spot on for me and I couldn’t be happier with him. Super fun figure and I take him to work with me to keep me sane :)

[@SixoTF]

Haha nice! I agree with your points but yeah still fun

[@ryanbrown938]

Great video!! I recently got into collecting, got SS 86 Bumblebee and Ratchet to start. I have been searching high and low in my area for all the SS 86 Autobots, so far Prime is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Toyhax have some great cel shaded window stickers, which would fix your window blemish. It also covers up those annoying black plug marks as well.

[@SixoTF]

Maybe… I’m happy with the natural look though! But a good option nonetheless

[@davewire87]

I am definitely in agreement with you about the trailer. Optimus just feels incomplete in his alt mode without one. For that reason, I’ve given my Legacy United toy version Optimus the Earthrise trailer. It’s a perfect fit!

[@rageanoid4867]

Great review! I got him a bit ago, and absolutely love him. One thing I saw is that you stored the blast effects wrong, as there is a little hole in the ball part of it that goes over the little peg. It helps them straighten out a bit more.

[@SixoTF]

Cool thanks!

[@atomD21]

This thing is absolutely amazing and will definitely be my figure of the year! He's just so much fun to transform and mess with! Yeah, that head transformation is scary as heck... And I took the time to fix the heels. Not worth it, honestly. Glad they're correct now, but it really is a nonissue.

[@SixoTF]

Agreed!

[@DoctorCalico]

I've had him for a couple months now, and he's WAY up there in terms of all time favorite figures. In some ways i even like him more than MP44.

[@SixoTF]

I think I do too

[@Josh-bk3pt]

This can't be figure of the year with the QC issues being so wide spread. I had to return my first one because of marks on his chest, other people posted his ankles being put together wrong and ears. He's a beautiful toy and we will likely see him sold in his other colors/molds. Awesome video!

[@G1JFC]

I have to agree with Sixo on many points here. Yes by God is this Studio Series 86 Optimus not only one of the hardest toys to get this year, it's also one of the best. The feet thing doesn't really bother me either. He's absolutely right about the Head panels. It was scary. But I have to be honest on my copy. I cannot get the leg connectors or the posts underneath the arms to fit. At all. (Those bits from the Legs that rotate to underneath the arms) Maybe I'll change it more. It is strange. Retro G1 Prime is great too. I only got that recently. I just think Missing Link Optimus Prime is without doubt,one of the best toy's in 2024. But I also had no idea that Earthrise Primes trailer was that small. As for blue line graphics on the trailer. Well, I don't get that criticism because these are supposed to be Toon accurate representations. Not supposed to be there. I also watched the Missing Link Bee and Cliff video. I was surprised at how loose the arms were on them! My copy of ML Cliffjumper doesn't have that issue. Neither does Bumblebee.. Has anybody else got the same issue?

[@andrebeck7893]

Mine is still underway, can’t wait to get my hands on it!

[@NightmareZerogbs]

From what I can see, this is like the leap from MP to Kingdom Blackarachnia, sure, the MP is hyper-accurate and has better articulation and more accessories...but this retail version is way less complicated, leading to a more _playable_ toy.

[@Papa_FM]

If you find yourself able to pop the chest windows out to fix the little speck, please post a video about it, I have 2 of these, both have the same issue.

[@Tyrannoverse]

Maybe cast the Matrix Chamber in gray plastic instead of red 🤔 9:44

[@SixoTF]

I’m sure they must have looked at options idk

[@DanDen-gh7si]

​@SixoTF My thought process is that maybe if they sacrificed the clear plastic windows, they could use the parts count and mold to get dark Grey inserts to put in the chest as the matrix chamber and have it be more movie accurate While you wouldn't have that effect the windows provide you would at least have a better chamber like on Ultra Magnus

[@NiallByrne]

This figure definitely captures the essence of the G1 Optimus prime. Couldn’t agree more with your review. Hopefully the SS 86 Megatron will get similar treatment. I hope they do the same with the rumoured SS86 Soundwave and take some inspiration from the MP figure. Love the legacy United figure but it definitely has room for improvement and making changes to give him a cleaner cassette player Altmode and maybe slightly taller bot mode and cleaner forearms would go a long way

[@LeeRuss]

Great review as always! My copy was also victim to blemishes under his windscreen - I too am hoping to find a way to pop them off and clean them!

main flaw in its design aside from the head being a tad wider is his chest that is completely flat unlike mp44 accurate to cartoon with side of chest slightly slanted towards the back.

[@profsolitaire7223]

Always a blast to watch your excellent reviews. Everybody is raving about this thing but I have to admit, I just don't see it at all. Maybe there's something magical about it in hand that just doesn't come through the screen? It woulden't be the first time. But I've watched a bunch of videos about it and looked at photos and I just do not feel it at all. There's nothing about it that looks like an improvement on all the other Optimus Primes toys that I own. I'm a bit mystified by all the hype. Looks pretty ordinary and bland to me. But still, great review Sixo, as always! And the music doesn't bother me at all, I quite like it!

Had mine for about a week or so, its nice, but for the price mine has some sloppy paint, loose smoke stacks, warped effects, and the backpack is pretty terrible. I ordered the Toyhax window stickers, and I do think that makes a real improvement visually at least. Can't wait for a decent SS Megatron!

[@ryanlloyd1329]

I’m confused, I’m new to the hobby and want to purchase this version of Optimus, I went on tfsource but it says it’s a pre order for February 2025, but loads of people in the comments already have him in hand. Can someone help/ explain pls lol

[@incoherentbabbler4636]

I completely missed the blast effect and axe clips in the trailer. Mine came very warped out of the box, so I'm giving them a try to see if they can be re-shaped over time, like Magmatron's tail-sword. Can original Diaclone figures fit in that command module? I haven't seen anyone try. I also had zero idea you could add the gun to the truck bed! I was a little skeptical about this guy, knowing full well that he wasn't going to accomplish much more than Kingdom Rodimus at a similar price. After handling '86 Ultra Magnus, though, I figured the designers were probably brewing something crazy, not to mention that they've undoubtedly learned a lot since Earthrise about making a Prime toy. The butterfly joints, super-clean truck mode, the jump effects, and Titan Master-seating Roller ultimately won me over, and the backpack bothers me less than the already acceptable back-wheels of the last one. I've considered painting the forearm arrows yellow, especially if I find a match for the existing yellow and confirm that the arms aren't POM plastic like the Matrix chamber. I forgot about the heel situation almost completely until you mentioned it, as I fixed it pretty shortly after I opened him up. A part of me thinks my ideal Optimus is probably this sculpt with Earthrise levels of greeble and molded detail, but I get why this wasn't done for the '86 appearance.

[@SixoTF]

So far nothing I’ve tried fits in the command module, including original Diaclone pilots (nor the reboot ones)

[@Wargod_ARTS]

Mine is supposed to be arriving at my doorstep via Fed Ex from BBTS today. Not really sure why it took so long for them to get there copies in honestly. but anyway, I'm very much looking forward to finally getting him in my hands. Nothing about it frustrates me at all atm judging by all the videos and photos I've seen. I'm sure DNA as always will make some sort of upgrade set for it, if they haven't already. I def want a more accurate matrix chamber. the one there just looks kind of "meh" as for the backpack, I mean...I guess I can see why people hate it, especially for the price point. But, I'm not picking it apart like that. for me. I'm just glad to finally having a Prime in my collection again. (Sadly, I'm having to start all over again for the 5th time as an adult collector)

[@SixoTF]

I love your vids, but I’m amazed how nobody seems to mention MS02-EX when talking about this toy. To my eyes, Magic Square have to date made easily the most cartoon-accurate Prime, and looking at it instantly highlights where SS86 Prime has fallen short. I’m surprised Hasbro/Takara didn’t steal back from them some elements of their work. While I do like this SS86 Prime, for me it just doesn’t look like the 86 movie version at all really. A great ‘interpretation’ of the character, but by no means a contender for most accurate movie version.

[@SixoTF]

That’s fair - I do have the MS LOP but tbh I wasn’t fussed about bringing third party options in for a comparison here. I do agree it’s a good design though

Earthrise got way more credit than it deserved. The siege version had way better proportion and interesting transformation.

Hot Take: This figure is better than MP-44

[@SixoTF]

I think for the price point it might just be yeah

Is masterpiece masterclass dead?

[@316toon]

But how do i even get one lol

[@SixoTF]

Good question

[@kcnoise]

The backpack isn’t great. I’m not amazed by the figure as some others. It’s the best mainline Prime we’ve gotten. I think the 86 Magnus has it beat.

Optimus Prime SS86 could've been 10/10 but he doesn't even have the Option to Show Off the Wheels on his Legs so instead he gets 9

MS Optimus and te-01 are the best optimuses out there! I dont know why everybody so excited about this prime- It is far from being perfect..... The main thing that I dont like about it is the foot which is too narrow....The cartoon foot is very wide! The head is too rounded.. the backpack is huge and doesn't look like the cartoon (te-01 optimus has perfect backpack). I dont like the fact that it comes with the trailer- I dont need it and want it to be cheaper!
