you own 4 of that Nemesis Prime, there are 300 (give or take) in existence, which means Keyan owns 1.3% of all of them

[@neldon3131]

3 still in the box.

[@mr.supersentairobo455]

well he gave one to jim sorrenson so i guess its just 1% now

[@SilverSieg]

As an owner of Wingblade Optimus- for some reason- the translucent Optimus is the ONLY animated Optimus I’ve owned where the ‘drama in transformation’ works FLAWLESSLY. Every time. Every single time. It’s nuts.

[@NoShayminFeeding]

I also own one, can confirm. Not sure if there was an update somewhere or some difference in the plastic helps. Either way, cool it works, still a pain to close lol

[@weik-2936]

It's impressive how clear Keyan's voice sounds in this video, considering he sold his lungs for cash to buy all these Optimi

[@metroplexstudios2406]

True, its actually amazing!

[@therealthirst8099]

12:16 My brother used to have that "Battle Begins" Prime figure, the ball joints on the legs wore out so fast that he couldnt even stand anymore, and we called him "Floptimus Prime"

[@AMVH2012]

FYI, Takara Tomy is not a subsidiary of Hasbro. There is a partnership with Hasbro but they are completely separate companies.

[@KeyanCarlileTF]

Oh, you’re the first person to point that out. I actually didn’t know that, thank you.

[@gabrielthedigi-loud4792]

Well, that explains why Bakugan and Paw Patrol are distributed by Takara Tomy in Japan

[@bowserbreaker2515]

While there is no version better than G1 Prime, Animated Optimus is definitely my second favorite. He was just so great. His voyager figure was great too.

[@dainatalvirk6853]

Cybertron prime is my personal favorite prime

[@_V.Va_]

While there is no "best Prime" as boomers like to think, Animated Optimus is a very worthy addition to the Pantheon of Primes.

[@giovonniiclayton]

G1 prime is pretty easy to top ngl

[@bowserbreaker2515]

@@_V.Va_ I mean best Prime in terms of character. When it comes to figures, the Animated voyager and Cyberverse deluxe are my favorites.

[@kevinp.h157]

I don’t agree that g1 prime is the best, unless you’re referring to the Marvel comics one

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

The Legacy Optimus is so clearly a labor of love, you can’t help but adore the figure. I wish every figure in Legacy had that kind of passion.

[@nitrostormskystriker478]

The rocks transform into vehicles because it's fucking awesome.

[@mysterybroz4810]

I have the legacy versions of Optimus and Bumblebee as my phone wallpaper. Really like those figures from what I’ve seen.

[@jackoconnor5590]

I had no idea Animated Prime did a stage play in Japan.

[@gammarays3683]

Last year when i watched tfa for the first time i saw the cybertronian Prime in a second hand store. He was missing a leg, had no axe, and his limbs kept popping off. But he was also 5 bucks and i felt at the time it was like seeing a rare bird for people who like bird watching. Then the legacy animated optimus got leaked and felt silly.

[@Black_Wolf_XY]

Did you buy it, though?

[@gammarays3683]

@user-or3ux2ed8q I did! He's one of my favourote figures in my small collection. :) I'm still not sure whether or not the get the legacy optimus but we'll see! Maybe he'll end up in a 2nd hand store too one day.

[@Chord_]

Gotta love that designer or Hasbro/Takara exec who was pushing for that Nightwatch deco. Because you've got it here in Animated, and three separate versions for Movie Optimus released around the same time. In fairness, I do rather like the blue Optimus look!

[@willthelemon5681]

I'ma be real rip Derick and love him dearly but man I really prefer the Powermaster upgrade designed by Eric. It looks so sick but I can understand if it wouldn't vibe with the rest of the design of the show.

[@WorthyGibbon]

I agree. Thte powermaster design is amazing. Also R.I.P derick

[@xenith8286]

This was an excellent video! I never knew just how many Optimus Prime things were made. Also, thank for showing off the original "Hero" desgin, it looks awesome! It would be a cool video to go over the ideas that came before and would become Animated.

[@duoconprime2057]

This was a great video and I want to thank you for giving me another reason why I should buy the Legacy: United Animated Optimus Prime!!!

[@emeraldphoenix5868]

Optimus's transformation is still fun to this day and I wonder if they had scrapped plans to recolor him in his S4 Color palate.

[@fanb1536]

What kills the Legacy one for me, which I never see anyone mention, is the bot mode's total lack of a waist. The chest just immediately transitions into the hips, with the grill just being smushed into the chest section. It's very ugly, and removes from Animated Optimus's heroic silhouette. Besides that, I really like the interior details and the arm engineering for sure. At the same time though, I feel like the faithfulness to his show model only makes all the greebles and panel lines, just, stand out way more. I'm really not into those, especially the leg grills that make him resemble G1 Optimus. He's certainly the best Animated character in Legacy so far, but he's still far from ideal to me, personally.

[@KeyanCarlileTF]

That’s completely fair. I hadn’t thought of that. The typical “superhero proportions” aren’t carried over. I do still really like it, though.

[@Shocktimus_Prime]

this video is currently in its prime bc it just came out im really optimistic about this video would have been cool if all the optimus primes would automatically transform. after all, hes an autobot i can keep going

[@KeyanCarlileTF]

I looked at this comment three times before I realized it’s a bunch of puns 😂

[@ShocktimusMagnus]

Dang those jokes really *roll out* the tongue They hit like a *truck* They were *legend* -ary They were *fire* The most *elite* jokes I could think of These jokes *activated* a humorous and *animated* side of me (That was my old yt that got hacked)

[@ramsesaguilar3741]

With Animated (and the live action movies lol) being my introduction to Transformers, I got hella nostalgia seeing the bumper and the electronic toy. Had both of those growing up

[@legend49III]

The blue switch in front of the Supreme figure is there to lock the upper half from auto transforming so you can roll it freely.

[@elsaborgarsdottir8945]

I love this new series!

[@agentnacho2029]

I was really iffy on Legacy but this retrospect sort of made me appreciate how they omaged him a little more. Might pick him up

[@twistedyogert]

34:51 It's everyone's favorite trio: Optimus-Bee, Bumblemega Prime, and Megamus-Tron

[@nickmarvell1245]

Passionate working on youre show, and knowledgeable. It's dope, and a great time to be a fan

[@mistercheif3290]

The segment where you go over the merchandise was absolutely hilarious and I love it

[@Zoidd_Bergg]

HOLY CRAP DUDE. I had a bumper battlers Optimus as a kid because my sister bought it for me. I lost it many many years ago and I have been trying to search for it online for so long now and could never find it until I found this video. Thanks.

[@banobobot]

The montage of commercials saying Optimus Prime made me smile

[@omegamaximus1727]

33:04 I had this as a Christmas gift, right now it is in storage.

[@user-pl6xi3ye6r]

2 things 1. why dose powered convoy look like delta magnus? 2. do you hope we will get animated blitzwing in legacy united?

[@xenith8286]

Powered Convoy was the Diaclone release of Ultra Magnus, who had a vastly different color scheme. The character Delta Magnus was made in reference to that Diaclone color scheme.

[@ah08223]

This was amazing. rhank you for uploading this

[@JohnDoe-wl5xm]

ive been binging your content the last few days and i gotta say this is probably the funniest video of yours ive seen, i hope theres an animated bumblebee video in the works cuz id love to see it

[@steamedtoast64]

I find it kinda funny that not only was the supreme optimus likely responsible for omega never getting a figure, but it was also likely responsible for devastator never being made since it would've likely been at the same pricepoint

[@BlucklesTheGlitchidna]

Honestly I love this video, you've earn my sub for how much effort on even trying to own them XD Can't wait to see another video for Animated Bumblebee!!

[@xxJoeCraftxx]

I had the toxitron version of optimus, I had gotten it in a box of other transformers from goodwill. I didn't watch animated, and needed to make space so I sold off some. I posted a lot of them on facebook and I think I sold like 10 assorted transformers including toxitron (I didnt Know) for like $80.

[@evandervila]

I've been praying for days like this

[@misternathanfowlkes]

Such a great video! I wish I could see a video like this for every single transformer lol. This vid is also making me want to go to Japan to find some TFs

[@harnanmylvaganam6311]

There was something about the bulkiness of the animated characters that made me like it's toys so much

[@mitchsantona]

excellent work. love animated op

[@QuintusStatiliousProcorpius]

Thanks for such a nice vids!

38:21 You were right on the money! The new DNA Upgrade Kit is literally Powermaster suit

[@linusfornow]

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a more entertaining transformers video!

[@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594]

This video is so well made

[@adrj0812]

I would love to see hasbro make legacy toys based the cancelled season 4. Like an earth mode Ironhide, a marauder Megatron, a powermaster Optimus Prime, a blackarachnia figure maybe.

[@rajarajanmanoharan]

This was literally the first video I saw in 2024. Watched it at midnight.

[@171QA]

Quite the collection.

[@calvinchandler2504]

This is a far superior gift for the sixth day of Christmas

[@gwendolynsnyder463]

Idk if it fits here, but I had a brain fart I wanted to share regarding "Transformers Animated" Sentinel: finally has the guts to yell at Megatron, and delivers a long long rant Soundwave: adds a heavy metal track, which compliments Sentinel's rant, and makes Sentinel's rant sound like a heavy metal song Sentinel: now starts yelling at Soundwave for mocking him Soundwave: continues playing the track Jazz: chuckles and starts beatboxing Megatron and Optimus: exchange awkward glances, and there's an awkward silence between them Megatron: secretly records this track, and uploads it on Cybertunes Imagine Sentinel's reaction to becoming a meme. I had this brain fart when I saw the "Karen goes metal" series on KZbin.

I use to own a Bumper Battler as a kid back in late 2000s, that being Optimus Prime.

[@omegamaximus1727]

1:54 I had this toy as a Christmas Gift back 2009.

[@codrinm.mitrofan5869]

Optibotimus was able to show us a drama transformation for the legs.

[@TFmotion07]

I can’t imagine in how much depth you are now😂

[@MrMcJohnsonII]

Everybody gangsta till there's drama in the transformation

[@Crab_cos]

29:53 we got both the regular Transformers AND the jumpstarters in Brazil!! In fact the last gift my father ever gave me was the happy meal animated bumblebee!

[@spyredrum3447]

I loved transformers animated as a kid but unfortunately I never gotten any of the figures so i ordered my very first animated figure which is deluxe lockdown and he’s single handily the best transformer action figure I purchased

[@kylewashburn5840]

I know I'm in the minority but this is, hands down my favorite transformer series and my favorite Optimus.

[@S0n0fG0D]

I owned the battle begins optimus. You gotta be careful with the waiste flap connection, it is way too thin and loose to be reliable down the line. Mine broke so I had to get a replacement figure.

[@hilariouzlygamin6755]

24:59 oh i love this toy so much that it still in my shelf and i never ever want to give it away. this it the best optimus prime i ever had and most expensive than brawl.

[@BlueDaDudeArtz]

29:57 As a Brazilian, i can confirm :,)

[@darkysqueaks9820]

I have the 3 your missing they are 1 of kind and doubt I'll ever sell them The rest looks amazing

[@raisumi7105]

Man I did have that giant Optimus and I didn’t care about how it can’t roll normally and I was in love with it. I also had that bumper one who I kinda meh. I recently got the legacy Optimus and I do love it! I just found out that axe extended. I feel stupid.

[@larrychilders6599]

8:29 the stacks on his arms I feel homage the grapple

[@cowab1625]

29:53 we also got the "normal" McDonald's toys, i know bc i had Bumblebee and multiple friends of mine had Megatron and Lugnut

[@Protoraptor69]

Nice collection.

[@toysmostwanted]

I didn't know that the Voyager OP with a silver Autobot logo on the left shoulder was a rare variant. Saw it one time but the logo was scratched so I didn't get it. Still regret not getting it because every one I saw after that didn't have the logo. 😢

[@glaz126]

The McDonald was my first ver Transformers toy and for this I love it

[@timetinker6495]

This should be a next door exhibit to the bionicle museum

[@hectorz9555]

There is a blue switch on the front bumper of rollout command Optimus prime. All you have to do is slide that and the gearing that makes it transform will be disengaged.

[@timurberlov8202]

I don't know if anyone else thought of this, but what if Derrick wanted Sari to be the minicon for power Master prime in season 4...🤔

[@BrushedRanger]

THE BUMBLEBEE BUMPER BATTLER WAS ONE OF MY FIRST TRANSFORMERS TOYS EVER if nor my first

[@bronykingamethystrain5676]

I just got the Legacy United figure today and plan to pre-order DNA Design's Wingblade Upgrade for it. The trailer that kit turns into looks sleek. Way better than the Takara Voyager from back in the day.

[@blueraccoon1088]

12:08 I had that pack years ago I hope to be that pack again man I'm old

[@jeremiahsacks2868]

I counted 66 but I may be off by one or two. However that is definently more than 40 so you werent wrong in the thumbnail.

[@Eviloverlord-uj9qu]

The two pack with the battle damage megatron and Optimus is probably a reference the the movie version where Optimus fought megatron in his earth mode and megatron was in his cybertron mode

[@katzikat4669]

If Autobots and Decepticons had a temporary alliance due to Unicron, this is how Megatron would save the Autobots in his contacts: Optimus Prime: Optimus Prime Bumblebee: Little Autobot Bulkhead: Space Bridge Technician Jazz: Space Ninja Ratchet: Medic Blur: Fast Talker Sentinel: Spare Parts

I never knew there was so many legends of prime

6:36 sounds like primes saying NO GOD NO kind of just a little bit

[@tiagosales4913]

I hope the legacy line isn't the last time we get figures from the animated characters

[@obnoxiouslegofan]

Animated Optimus Prime had to be my favorite incarnation of the character. Much better than the original. (Sorry G1 fans) I had the Supreme Class Roll Out Command Optimus Prime (that was a Christmas present from my godfather) and the McDonald's Optimus Prime. Did you know: 1. There was a version of the Hasbro release of Voyager Optimus Prime that had a white-bordered-silver Autobot insignia. As far as I know, it was a rare variant. Emgo316 had this version. 2. Peaugh did a tutorial on how to attach the Wingblade armor on the Deluxe Earth Mode Optimus Prime, though he speculated that they may have retooled the toy to attach the armor better. 3. I've seen a lot of fans display Voyager Optimus Prime with the axe from Deluxe Earth Mode Optimus Prime. I hope to get the Legacy United Animated Optimus Prime one day (as well as Legacy United BumbleBee and Legacy Evolution Prowl).

[@Liviuswildcard]

Thank you tf legacy for giving me a chance to get animated optimus.

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

Hey Keyan, do you think you could do one on Animated Megatron?

[@jr_estudio]

29:53 i am from Brasil, and and I've always been a nerd since I was s kid, One day I saw a child with a Megatron Mc Donald's toy, (it was 2016 and animated was no longer shown on Cartoon Network so no one at my school knew about Transformers Animated) so I went to talk to the child and said: do you know that this is a toy from a transformes cartoon that aired in 2008? And the kid looked at me like: 😐😑

I just got a battle damaged optimus prime. I'm not sure which 2 pack it came from, and I don't have the axe, but hey, it's nice, and I still like it.
