It's funny that in English Omega Prime was voiced by the same actor who voiced Megatron/Galvatron, meaning that he's basically yelling at himself throughout that final battle.

RID performed very well abroad and served as the springboard for bringing back vehicle transformers wholesale, as well as the older faction names and accoutrement. It wasn't slept on, it's just become less relevant over time. Characters from its corner of the brand still pop up every so often.

Fun fact about Bluebolts: they've actually already been depicted as a Transformer in Japanese media, being the blue Airrazor recolor who featured in the "End of G1 Universe" manga. Of course, no one knew that the Maximal was supposed to be God Magnus' weapon at the time, and at most thought it was a neat homage.

@Lazrael32 Yeah, I think that Victory Saber was selected to test the waters with the Japanese lore, and once that was successful, that's when Deathsaurus was selected. I often heard that a re-issue or full new version of Omega Prime was long requested, and this was a perfect opportunity for it. I wouldn't be surprised if the Megatron from RiD 2001 happened to be a future one, if not the next.

@@darrenheideman2546 I don't think they'd do Megatron if he wasn't difficult to do properly in the current line. and the success of Omega i think will push him towards the front of the line. Much like Deathsaurus. My understanding is we were supposed to get Deathsaurus instead of Magmatron, but once they realized it could be haslabed and done proper justice they removed it from Legacy and added magma who they thought was doable as a commander.

As much as I enjoyed the Beast Saga of the 1990s, I was so happy when Robots in Disguise arrived. Finally, the Transformers had returned as *realistic* vehicles, with Autobots ruling the road, and Predacons & Decepticons *primarily* in the air. Discovering that, in Japan, the story was considered to be part of Generation One, sweetened the deal even further! In Europe, several episodes of the TV series were edited together to produce two fantastic feature-length movies; *TRANSFORMERS, ROBOTS IN DISGUISE - THE FILM* and *TRANSFORMERS, ROBOTS IN DISGUISE- THE FINAL CHAPTER,* both released by Stormovie. My favourite characters; J4 / Midnight Express 🇬🇧🚂 and Gildo / Darkscream!

By Might Gaine a new archetype would appear with Might Gunner becoming a final weapon for Great Might Gaine's Perfect Mode. The trend would continue for J Decker having Gunmax combine with J decker in both battle modes. Goldran would have Sorakage equip as a pair of wings, Dagwon would have 2 weapons Lian as a sword and Gunkid as the Brave Cannon.

More figures for the line and hopefully, someone there will figure out who actually owns the distribution rights for the series l so we can actually watch or own the series again, Also I loved the idea, Optimus become such reowned figure. That in future there a bunch of OP clones that lead a few branch of Autobots. Also Yellow Splendid Convoy was a cool and fun expansion of a great character! Hope she gets explored more in the future❤️ Also It's good to see the 2001 Car Robots/Robots in Disguise series getting some love recently. I was likewise happy to see that version of Scourge/Black Convoy make a triumphant return, and on the big-screen no- less. I hope he and other characters and concepts from that series get another look in the future. Also Fun fact,: Omega Prime's English voice actor also voiced Megatron/Galvatron in that show too. I was going to pass on the HasLab Omega Prime figures, but thanks to Chris Mcfeely's "The Basics" series, I have been reminded of how special Omega Prime is to the Transformers franchise. Also Another great basics episode. Also thank you for sharing Chris and even though you're Asleep all i can say is: keep up the good work stay safe out there and have a great weekend.🙂🟢🦸👍🇺🇲💪✌️🏋️12:50 am.

Great video! Yup I backed Omega Prime, I never had the original and there was no way I could pass this up. RID is one of my favorite Transformers shows

Hello there Chris McFeely and fellow Transformers fans. I do apologize for the tardiness of this comment, but when this video was dropped, I was on my way to work and was busy all day long. Anyways, I just wanted to say that this new video dealing with Omega Prime from Car Robots was absolutely awesome. I really enjoyed the information/lore from this video and have to admit that this was one character from the Car Robots series that I really enjoyed and actually glad that we are getting a toy of this character. Anyways, thank you once again for this wonderful video and I hope that you and everyone else in the community has a great day and terrific weekend. Until All Are One. Peace Out and Maximize.

I backed that HasLab before any of the extra tiers were unlocked, and I couldn't be happier. It even inspired me to go back and track down some of the old RID 2001 figures for my collection.

The original Super Fire Convoy was the first Transformer I ever bought through the internet (not counting eBay) back in 2000. Thanks, BigBadToyStore! Proceeded to get the rest of the Car Robots line, as well. Boy, was my wife pissed when they all got imported as RID2001! 😂

I remember some negative comments in the Haslab reveal stream, about it being a bad choice, and yet it's the most and fastest funded Transformers Haslab figure we got. Some people really need to get over their negativity. Just because you don't like something specific, doesn't mean that everybody thinks that way. Let people enjoy things :)

Er, the original quota to pass the future for manufacture was lower than previous TF Haslab releases, showing that Hasbro didn't expect a high amount of interest. Even now, I would say this release is still a highly contested one in the TF collecting community. So, by your own logic, not "everyone" was up for this release too. Also, there's absolutely nothing "wrong" with negative criticism of this.

Love how the Hasbro version basically gave Omega Prime the Dragon Ball fusion treatment of having a whole new identity when a fusion happens

RiD 2001 missed me entirely, but I’m happy for its fans that the HasLab was so successful. Between this and the Victory characters, there’s an exciting sense of “anything could happen!” to these crowdfunding announcements.

I back it for sure! I wonder if in the development of Transformers Energon, when they had Optimus Prime and Omega Supreme combine together, if they didn't choose Optimus Supreme, they could've instead used Omega Prime. It would still fit, right?

I backed it as soon as I heard about it. Omega Prime is my favorite character. Sadly my original copy is lost at this point.

My favorite story with Omega Prime is the Universe/Cybertron storyline. Which, if you think about it, makes the brothers being Haslab items a bit more fitting. Is as if Omega is called to be the champion of the multiverse again on this "Crisis on Infinite Earths"-type story Legacy has.
