Transcripts
so just a couple videos ago I covered
the Transformers one Mainline Optimus
Prime or Ryan Pax I'm not sure what
version it was supposed to be it had a
face plate so I'm calling it Optimus
Prime anyways in that previous video I
hypothesized that that thing was a
simplified rol of this was I right it's
Studio series Transformers 1 Optimus
Prime but first your likes please give
maybe subscribe and H boy yep that's as
ugly as everyone thought it was going to
be turns out Hasbro are just a bunch of
bald-faced Liars because that was not in
fact a problem with the way that the
Prototype looked they really did just
make this figure re yellowed oh man I
just love how this figure looks like I
dug it out of a smoker's bedroom really
ties the whole thing together making it
look like picking it up will make my
hands greasy I showed this thing to my
brother and he described the Plastics as
looking touched which is an amazing and
ominous way to say it I don't know what
you absolute were thinking with
this but you all need to get hockey
checked into a freeway divider so that
you learn that this is unacceptable do
not use this plastic color again because
it is absolutely ruining what could be a
cool looking robot mode about as
effectively as Beast Machines ruins all
the characters and yes this is almost
very cool it's wo and tough looking with
a cool new aesthetic for the prime
window boobs giving him more of a
Shockwave esque mono tit makes me think
that he can shoot some kind of chest
beam
out the proportions on this thing are
powerful and the sculpt is really cool
however there are some unfortunately
weird aspects like the legs why does
this panel switch sides it puts a huge
slit down the back of the calvs to
achieve what because when you flip them
there is sculpting on the sides to imply
that you didn't is this part literally
just here to Pat out the transformation
step count it changes absolutely nothing
to do this and it only makes the knees
weirdly close together like Prime store
all of his weight in his calves or
exclusively does toe lifts it is a
completely pointless feature as
pointless as the stupid stinking colors
honestly I think my favorite thing to do
with this figure to just take a
transformation joint in the shoulders
and pop him into the stupidest tough guy
pose in the history of the universe all
of the energy of a come at me bro all of
the comfort of a I just my pants
the quality is mostly pretty solid with
the worst aspect being the underwear
wants to pop off and you know I didn't
think that they could make monok skirts
any worse since they were already
terrible but Hasbro must have heard
about my lack of confidence in their
ability to do that and they set out to
prove me wrong with all of their might
honestly I have to hand it to them
because they somehow ruined monok skirts
let me repeat that they ruined monok
skirts how do you ruin a turd how does
that become more turd than it already
was so instead of just hinging forward
like normal it's rotating from the back
so rather than just bending for his legs
to move through them anytime he steps
he's hiking his skirt up to air out his
bulge I never actually considered the
whole Optimus Prime as a pervert who
likes wearing a minis skirt over his
blue Speedo joke I like to make would
actually become canonically true yet
here we are with an official figure that
goes out of its way to avoid doing this
the normal way just so Optimist can live
out his school girl fantasies
kid kill me I want this image out of my
head this wants to look so cool and at
every turn it's slowly cleaving its own
legs out from under itself with a rusty
Keyhole saw he found in Thomas
Jefferson's basement I mean this just
has to be some kind of self-degradation
Kink right like you put all this time in
at the gym you get fit attain the type
of body you can only get with roids then
you paint yourself up like a clown put
on a doctor's mask and a skirt you
pulled out of a dumpster soaked through
with McDonald's grease and start running
around yelling I'm the father of a
generation the head is weird I don't
hate it but I can't shake the fact that
there is something that feels really
strange about it it's it's slightly too
wide especially for the neck and there's
some strange catlike quality to it and
while reactivate Prime had that going on
at least he felt like he could Rend
every other version of him a new
this one just feels like a kid
cosplaying as Optimus like I can't hate
it for that he's clearly doing his best
with his papermache but my child could
you seriously not find white or even
regular gray paint I will say that this
does somehow feel a little more like
Prime than it does or Ryan Pax not
having seen the movie yet I don't know
maybe overb helmet is really all it
takes but the look of this figure is
overall pretty good with just some
really unfortunate decisions made for
essentially no reason like seriously
those colors looked like they were
scraped out of the inner rim of a toilet
and the legs appear to be transforming
for the sake of transforming not because
it actually does anything for the alt
mode and the hilarious thing is these
problems don't stem from this thing
being a deluxe like I don't think the
words they made it a deluxe instead of a
voyager so now it has more steps than it
needed to to transform is a phrase that
any human being has ever said plus the
monok skirt was designed by a truly
deranged person and that's got nothing
to do with a size class also this could
still be a deluxe if they chose a color
that didn't look like it was starting to
fester for the gray Parts even still I
mostly like the look of this if they
could just redeo the gray Parts I would
this is a pretty sweet looking design
even if it is just an Orion PA with a
face plate which isn't something I
normally go for I hate it when Orion Pax
is just Optimus Prime with a matrix it's
so lame Optimus should be a heavily
upgraded dude he should be like twice
the size way more swole and built for a
fight oryan Pax should be the skinny boy
Steve Rogers to optimus's Captain
America just taking a new name because
you got a necklace that no one can see
hidden inside of your Robo tits is lame
as hell but even Lamer than that are
this thing's accessories well at least
one of them he comes with this thing
this thing is stupid and I hate it and
when I'm done with this video I will
throw whatever this thing is into the
trash I guess it's a gun or something
for his alt mode it's made of soft
rubber which makes it a pain to get in
and out and it looks like in alt
mode honestly I just kind of also hate
weaponized Al modes if you ain't a
military vehicle you shouldn't get to
shoot from your vehicle form it makes
fights more interesting when not
everyone can do all the same stuff he
comes with his shoulder Stacks which I
guess he can use as pistols disgusting
he comes with his laser axe I've never
cared about this thing and I still don't
this is also blast effect compatible but
I think the cheaper version of this dude
came with a cooler one of these with the
way that the axe is blasting out of his
palm whereas this is just a traditional
energy bulb at the bottom lastly he's
got a matrix of leadership another one
for the cereal bowl but this is a new
one holy crap how did both of these have
new versions it's kind of stupid the way
this works is by having protrusions that
plug into the sides of the fists and boy
does that not look like he's holding it
in any way shape or form but at least
it's different so this thing comes with
a lot which is impressive for a deluxe
figure it's just you know the truck gun
is lame as hell the shoulder pipes are
normally not an accessory just a piece
of sculpting and I'm sure that most
people are going to continue treating
them that way the axe was done better
one figure ago and at this point we have
a million figures that come with
matrixes then for posability it's pretty
good head has all of the up in the world
way more than most Flyers yet a really
strong side to side a full swivel and a
separate joint for all of your awkward
seal Optimus Prime meme needs he's got
hot rod shoulders that can pull a full
90 with forwards butterflies and this
weird freak joint assembly in the arms
that lets you fake a backwards butterfly
and fake far more normal non-hot Rod
shoulders for a lot of poses plus they
really extend the forwards range on the
butterflies allowing the arm to get
further across the chest normal 90
elbows wrist swive hike the skirt up and
the legs are unimpeded forwards and
slightly to the sides and back a bit
more than 90 knees and feet with a toe
down and a strong rocker so this is
actually pretty good despite the hot rod
shoulders the arms weird complex inner
joints really let you diminish the
negative qualities of that sin against
posability though sadly it does still
hamper the articulation in multiple ways
outside that though this has more range
in most joints than normal and is
capable of some pretty Dynamic poses as
for transformation the Torso is very fun
and very satisfying doing some pretty
cool stuff and the legs aren't yeah the
Torso isn't free of frustration getting
the truck Grill down is a mild pain
since it's really hard for you to get
your fingers at it but the bed of the
alt mode is just cancerous the legs just
have way too much flex and twist and you
have like no control over them even if
you gra Parts directly they just don't
want to do what you need them to which
makes it so that way Parts get
misaligned and you have to undo steps to
get access to the hips to spin them
where they need to go and then there's
the fact that the entire leg section
makes you go no no no no that that can't
be it like there is nothing going on
here you just Peg the legs together and
then you have the hands grip pegs along
the sides and that's basically it and
the result kind of sucks how does the
$20 version look better than this this
isn't a robot in Disguise this is a
robot in a thin veneer this thing is so
see-through it's practically transparent
Opus Prime if you was shot a dozen times
by a shot gun what the actual it
doesn't matter what angle I look at this
from I can see the ground straight
through it in a dozen places this is a
deluxe figure that couldn't work as an
eye patch because it doesn't matter how
close I get to it I can still see the
light and let's not ignore the fact that
the hands are literally just chilling
out on the sides they are doing nothing
they're pegged in but there's no reason
to do that you can flip those panels
back away and it looks basically exactly
as good I mean this mold rolls pretty
well but who the cares when it
looks like this the alt mode is about
20% complete and look just don't buy
this thing for the first figure that
Hasbro's ever gone no this needs to
always be on shelves so you can get it
because everyone's going to want one
this is an absolute travesty there are
good points here the robot mode has a
really cool sculpt the posability is
better than most deluxes by a solid
margin the transformation has a very fun
first half but The Deco is abysmal the
monos skirt is the worst one anyone's
ever made and that's really saying
something the legs have pointless
transformation joints that just make
them look worse the accessories are
plentiful but also kind of sucky the hot
rod shoulders while better than normal
are still just hot rod shoulders the
transformation has a really good first
half but that also means that the other
half isn't the legs are just tragically
bad doing nothing to an insulting degree
because they didn't try and also being
more frustrating than that should imply
and then the alt mode is just the
translucent ghost of Optimus Prime I
mean this I have never seen a Mainline
figure half this gapy core classes have
more convincing alt modes I think that a
lot of you will actually still have a
lot of fun with this thing some of you
may even love it but I also think that
this is an insult to you this is a half
finish figure at best that they left in
the pre- yellowed tool room gray and
filled with a whole lot of ideas that
needed 10 times to development a quarter
baked toy that needed way more time in
the oven but I guess it needed to come
out in time for the movie at least
that's why I think that they let
something like this out the door this is
not unfinished this is unstarted and
before we go let's thank a supporter God
that sounds so corporate and
dispassionate and this time it's Sam
hesitation who I swear I've done before
but oh no don't make me talk about one
of the best figures of all time Titans
return trigger happy rules so hard and
it's my go-to when people ask me for a
recommendation of a figure this thing is
half the reason I'm a reviewer today or
I guess maybe a third a sick fast look
one of the best Transformations ever
fast cool and clever and the alt mode is
a blue version of the Galaga ship what
more could you possibly want it's
endlessly fun and awesome it's a
Headmaster that I still recommend if you
don't have one buy one you will not
regret it one of my favorite figures of
all time and that's not half what it to
say but it's enough with to say and I
know you know what everyone else tells
you to do at the end of these videos so
if you liked what you saw here please do
that and if you'd like to take it a step
further then please share this video
with any friend you think may be
interested I hope you all enjoyed
listening to me waste your time
