Ya'll I wrote, filmed and edited this all in one day 💀💀

Something I noticed is the triangle things on his arms could be considered show accurate to since ultra Magnus and sentinel prime has them in the show, making me thing there could be an “in universe” explanation for it

That cab was actually a really nice variation on the classic OP transformation. (Yeah, I pulled that term out of my ass, but if the G1 Prime transformation is classic - i.e. arms make side of cab, abs are grill, hips fold under/behind, head folds in behind chestpiece - , then "new" in this case means "adhering to the common advancements in engineering in the current scheme for OP transformation." You know, things like the abs being a false grill, or the robot mode chestpiece not being the front windows, OR the most common advancement, adding a hip rotation step into the leg transformation so that details from the front of the leg are exposed.) I really liked seeing the later waist pieces unfold while pinning the compacted arm assembly in place. Yes, LAOP _is_ a bit overchunky for a toy from the show that introduced not-chunky Cybertronians to people, but I am starting to appreciate engineering for its own sake rather than in service to bot or alt modes. TBH, it's about the only way I could appreciate the Bumblebee Movie Concept Art Megatron. He has spectacular engineering I want to see adapted all over the place, but his alt modes are just piles of cyberjank. I know he's too cool to hide from fleshies, but his tank mode is no more armored than his robot mode and his flight mode can't actually work as an aircraft.

Animated was my first introduction to Transformers and I loved it and still do.

The arms Transformmation Is show accurate i Like that dectail.

I still got my original voyager class animated optimus prime. Compared to the new one, I think they are both great.

I hope Legacy makes other characters from animated. We already got 3 Autobots. But how about some Decepticons like Lugnut, Slipstream, Blitzwing, Starscream, Lockdown, Megatron.

I wish the Prime figures got that kinda treatment instead of what we got cuz they're more G1 than Prime based, and this Animated Optimus actually looks like... Animated Optimus

so whats the secret 👀 .......clickbait?

Good to know that DNA is now making an upgrade kit for this Prime.

Take a shot everytime he says G1-nified.

I miss the OG figures 😔

2:41 bro for real is it's feel naked??? 💀💀

Damn, how do people get this so soon? Edit: So I have had this figure for a while now, and I just got a gap filler kit for it. Overall, this is easily my favorite optimus prime figure. The joints are a bit weak for my liking, but this is only really a problem when he's holding his axe. The transformation is tons of fun, and I love the proportions on this figure. I'm now wishing we got season 4 of Transformers animated, because I'm sure the upgrades optimus was supposed to get would make for an excellent figure.

Tbh, this is how I think of if optimus prime (G1) had a son.

I used to watch the show when it came on CN back in the day.

Yoo ray gun cameo

Your opening saying about tf toys being for kids made me realise something odd. Idk why Mainline rotb toys are seen more in public markets and shops than Legacy. I feel Legacy is way better for kids than Mainline ROTB

I impulse bought this immediately on spot it was had to chose between him and bumblebee

damn 35$

it's a g1 style Animated Optimus.

good

There is a golden Roberson Optimus prime ✨

Luckily for me I wasn’t even born when animated figures released so I can’t be nostalgia bated I’m still buying it though because I love the series even though it wasn’t made for my generation

Can you maybe review the TZ01 Disaster? (definitely not a scourge ko)

It seems like most of your criticism is that it's not "an accurate representation of the Aminated figure." It's not trying to be; it IS supposed to be a stylized version if the character. If anything, it's not stylized enough like a Legacy "G1-ified" figure for me. If you want a show figure of anything Animated, just stick with the Amimated figures; they're all pretty spot on. I have a voyager Aminated Optimus; it's great, but I don't want another one. As you said, this gigure's truck rear looks awful. It looks pretty good otherwise for what it is. Robot mode is where it shines. Alt mode looks like they couldn't make up their minds as to whether they wanted more of Animated or G1, and it looks a bit haphazard as a result.

🎉

Just like my sanity💀

Will this Optimus be a collectors item?

I couldnt get him gamestop dont have him when cleary it said he was up for preorder and he be available on jan 1 when jan 1 hit no he wasnt available

490th liker🎉🎉🎉

Good for you MechaZee First

Honestly, I've seen far worst Redesigns/Reimaginings, (hi Bionicle G2, you suck), the inly one i would consider the worst in Bulkhead due to how blocky he was, lacking some rounded parts to his design

This is in unpopular opinion but I think animated Optimus prime is overrated and even rid 2001 Optimus prime looks better than animated Optimus prime.

I didn't laugh once from this video.

thanks but no thanks i hate it its ugly with a big fat U i hated transformers animated it sucked. all i ever wanted at the time was more of armada,energon and cybertron i wanted more of that because it was better much better. but no they gave us all of that crap and it p***ed me off transformers animated sucked it was for 3 to 5 year old in 2007 when in 2007 i was 17 years old. thank goodness the movies came and saved the franchise because animated almost killed it. and it almost happened again because of r.i.d 2015 and earth spark i am sick and tired of them making crap for little kids that doesn't appeal to us adults. let the little kids lay with their cocomelons or whatever s**t kids play with these days. the transformers should be for teenagers to adults and for 3 to 5 year olds.
