If this figure has bigger and had more paint applications, it would be a perfect figure. I hope for a KO

Man, does it feel good to be a Transformers fan in this day and age.

My biggest gripe with this OP is it doesn't scale with anything mainline. But it is so good, I will just buy it just because i want it. It'll just stand on top of my computer monitor without anything else.

I wasn't expecting much of this figure when I got him. He was admittedly an impulse buy when I hadn't seen anything new for Legacy in weeks. I am glad I grabbed him and Primal, they're both fun, posable, solid figures!

I was thinking that, even though this isn't the best voyager OP we've gotten, it's among the best mainline movie OPs, and is a nice progression from the TLK version. It's just the next in the dynasty of movie Primes!

I'd be into it a bit if it was cheaper, but it isn't. It's the same price as a regular voyager in the US. Should've only been deluxe price or maybe $28 max.

It's a good option if it's your first Optimus prime figure, it's very sturdy and very poseable for action shots, I wish the head had more movement, but it's a good mold for a KO

something people definitely don't talk enough about is the fact that yeah the feet in truck mode are not amazing looking but are here so he can use the earthrise (and most) trailer! which is an insane attention to detail

The only thing that saddens me for this Optimus, well his ROTB design anyway, is they removed the red on his stomach. So, it looks like he isn't wearing pants.

8:30 That Battle Blades Prime has got that Dorito action going😂

Other than small figures, I don't think I've bought a movie figure of Prime since the 07 Leader. I got this and I really like it. I do like having it displayed next to Primal. The lack of ball joint neck is puzzling, though.

For me, my favorite would be the Last Knight Voyager Prime! They amped it up real good after what they did with the Age of Extinction version!

I feel like they should Give the gray area a paint job they should use a dark gray so the blue and red parts can stand out also use some airbrush to give the gray area somewhat of a silver shine. Yeah. Possibly make the toy a little larger so he can have like the sword pop out or the arm could have cannons it with an a socket or possibly. next time they doing this, they should really have Optimus axe It’s very iconic. I do like the way that this Optimus prime and transform they really replicate what they do it within the movie they should keep that

I picked mine up from Walmart after making the tough call to choose Prime over Primal. But since then, I’ve been having fun playing with the figure and weaponizing him with the weaponizer figures. I even whipped out a black and a gold sharpie to color in his front hip skirts. Surprisingly, the texture of the plastic makes using sharpies very easy to detail

I’m really tempted when I see this figure at stores but I wish he had a bit more blue on him. I’m definitely going to try and get the studio series version though

I am so close to getting this figure, if only the back of the truck was thinner, or longer

I can't agree with you on this one man, this figure feels so cheap for what you pay. It's $35 which is more expensive than the old Studio series. Bumblebee Optimus and it feels like it's made of half the plastic with a third of the paint. It doesn't feel fun to pose for me, I like that all the joints are nice and tight but the seriously feels like a 15 to $20 Figure to me if that.

This RoTB Optimus looks good, would be great if it is bigger and more paint works applied. My personal favorites are SS, Battle blade and Evasion. By the way, where's did you get the hand cannon in 2:51?

This prime is my first Transformer in about 10 years, so this became an instant favourite of mine from the moment I bought him. The posing is fantastic and he looks really good on my shelf with the Deluxe class ROTB bumblebee I got recently. Overall I really like this prime and I hope that the rest of the transformers I buy are this good.

Hey where'd you get the movie accurate blaster by the way I'm referring to the blaster that is in the thumbnail and blades I have the figure but I don't have those could you please tell me

where have people been able to buy this? I can't find it on any online website for retail price

Using the 5 pack Bumblebee canon for him is genius, thanks for showing that! Mine has been sitting in a bin for months now unused but now it has a home.

Evasion Optimus is my favorite movie Optimus. I bought the two pack version with flames to pair off with Aeon Wheeljack and VW Bumblebee, and I also got the rusty three pack version(which is severly underated) and the Takara Nemesis version. It’s an amazing mold/design I don’t think will ever be outdone.

@thattoyguy , first of all: love ur vids. Second: I bought thrilling 30 dreadwing after watching ur video about him, and he is AMAZING!!! Thanks for everything you do and keep it up!

I like how it basically transforms like prime in the movie

Went searching for this prime in a lot of places in my city but I just couldn’t find him, until yesterday when I went to the closest Walmart and somehow he was there. That Walmart has the worst toy aisle I have seen, it’s like just two shelves.

I still have a soft spot for DotM Cyberfire Optimus Prime as that was my first voyager class ever. Also the mechtech gun axe was cool.

If a KO company redid this, made it bigger, added MOAR paint, and tweaked the feet transformation, it would blow the Buzzworthy SS102 prime out of the water.

I was definitely considering this over the studio, especially as a toy to regularly mess with, you’ve sold me. This is better than I realised. Might have to grab primal to go with him

where did you get an arm blaster for prime??

where do you get all of these

Got this for $20 USD at Walmart, and for that price I’m calling this a huge win.

2:50 It's the "Come" Cannon!

Have any of you found this toy in stores here in Canada

Should I get this cause I’m looking for a voyager prime that’s cheap and this one is so should I get him make it my main prime

Where can you find this figure?

Just paint the lower torso red, leave the ab area alone or paint metallic silver, some blue to the lower legs, white for the hip/skirt

Great video! I just like how do things the jokes actually make me chuckle

what was the one that you said wasnt really a banger near the start?

0:41 what optimus prime ss is that? (with the swords)

I like him. I do agree he needs more paint but other than that i think he's a great figure. I'm holding off for a while on buying figures though to make sure i have enough for Armada Prime.

Where are you getting these figures?

3:02 THIS GOES HARD!!!! NAH THE MUSIC AND HIM!!! OH MY GHAH!!!!!!!

where can i get one?

My god I have been looking for this thing for ages. Can someone please tell me where I can find one😭. I’ve looked in so many targets and walmarts.

Where did u get this

1:15 thats why we custom paint these to make them look exactly like the movie thats what im doing when i get silver and gun metal grey paints

Tfp voyager prime is my fav, its not anything near the first edition prime, but its up there. I love how weird the transformation is because it reminds me of the first time movie prime transformed in the first movie. Its missing a waist and wrist swivel and the legs are limited to its weird waist design but its still super posable and looks good with my other bots including the legacy prime stuff

I custom painted my copy and with that he is really nice....but the mainline as a whole seems to miss all the paint apps. And note all the classed with the mainline is size class and not price class....so maybe he is this size because they wanted primal and rhinox this size?

Cool toy, though I wish it got repainted or retooled into nother character. As for my favorite Prime: Siege for robot mode (with ER as a close second), SS Bumblebee for truck mode. This, however, could easily change if I ever get my hands on that Volvo one.

Where in the UK is this £25 instead of £34? Because if would love to now. I have loomed at over 200 retailers, most are out of stock at 34 and those that still have it are 34 to 36.

would you reccomend this for someones first ever figure? Thinkin of gettin it for my friend for his birthday

Overall I think my favorite Voyager class Movie Optimus Prime is the Evasion Mode - and from all variants of that I think the Takara version from the "Movie The Best" line (what a dumb name for a line) takes the crown. The base figure gives you the Optimus design from the first three movies (albeit more simplified), but the vehicle is the more classic G1 inspired truck. The Takara deco then combines Optimus classic colours with the beat up look from the beginning of the movie (at least in truck mode). The transformation can be a bit frustrating, but once you get the hang of it, it feels very intuitive. Though this one is definitely a Transformers toy, where you have to learn how to handle it! Especially with regards to the elbows. But the more often you pose him, you will realize where his strengths and weaknesses are and learn to find ways to play out the strengths and compensate the weaknesses. Studio Series 38 Optimus Prime (from the Bumblebee movie) is a close second for me. I recommend to get the Premium Finish version, cause it is very nice in hand. But I get why some people do not like that version or why it does not "feel" Premium enough to them. The normal Hasbro release works fine, if you can still get it for a decent price. Otherwise I recommend one of the KOs from the mold, which turned out very nice as well. So far I had no the chance to handle the ROTB mainline Voyager Optimus - but he looks like a fun toy to me. Compared to what we have seen so far from the upcoming Studio Series ROTB Voyager, I prefer the mainline release. From what we have seen the shoulders appear to have very limited articulation (they remind me BB Voyager Soundwave shoulders) and i think the position of the knee joint appears to be way off.

Will have to look for this one, i like the colors a lot

I have a tip for legacy bulkhead. If you don’t like how his mace looks too much animateds version or think that it’s inaccurate to how it appears in prime. Swap it out and replace with battletraps. Note: I really like legacy bulkhead but this is just a tip for others who have there own opinions on it.

where can i buy this!!

My favorite voyager Optimus to this day's the Siege mold. And I was lucky enough to get the 35th anniversary edition without much trouble. But the new ROTB SS might be a serious contender for the spot, IF ONLY I CAN GET MY HANDS ON HIM!

A good solid Voyage prime with pinned wheels/articulation/tight joints. Is only undersized and could use a bit more paint. Definitely holding out for the Studio Series one or whenever the preorder for that one goes up. Battle Blades used to be my favorite Voyager, but recently i find the transformation an over engineered mess (much better suited for the Leader) and not a fan of soft plastic bendy blades. Truck mode however trumps anything Bayverse Studio Series Prime has thus far attempted. New favorite I think is either the Siege mold or the Premium Edition Bee Studio series Prime as it looks spectacular in both modes. The new rendition however does a really good job of cleaning up the arm kibble, and solidifies the legs a lot better. Alt mode also very mean looking.

I have a KO SS 38 and Buzzworthy SS 44 and I love them both

As soon as I'm able to find him, I'm gonna pick him up. And of course as soon as SS BBB Prime is available for Pre-Order or whatever, I'm 100% getting him too.

Expensive as F here in the Philippines. $58. Last year voyager prices were just like around $35 to $40. Was surprised when I saw the price increase.

If they wasted less paint on fixing what should have been molded in the correct colors, and made him cheaper, it would be good.

Battle Blades’s got that ROTF engineering that no one can compete with.

Painting him did wonders for me

I just picked one up and other then the paint i like how it looks i rarely get main line Primes so this was a nice pick up for me a more Beast wars fan

Okay that intro was sick.

$3 cheaper in the US? Yeah, that's what all the sources said it would be, but all of the ones I have seen have been standard $35 voyager price, which was already a tough pill to swallow for real voyagers. For this thing, that price is fucking insulting.

My only ''complaint'' is the lack of ball joint at the head. But besides that, it's such a great figure

My favorite Prime. Only wish the grey was painted. Probably will customize it

Where do I buy this in Canada

0:34 Oh man I had this Prime toy and out of all the awesome DOTM toys he SUUUUUUUCKED. His front would NEVER tab in, the wheels always flopped around, he was always super stiff and his ratchets SQUEAKED, the side tanks never tabbed in along with the roof, and overall the only decent part was his head sculpt with his awsome purple light Piping. And that’s IT.

... If Wei Jiang was still around, they'd make a unit of an MP figure and tweak the mechanics to make it an insane and very awesome transformation.

Looks cool, it's about the same height as primal from Kingdom? Maybe taller???

It would be better if the canon had a orange part in their to make it look like he was about to shoot

Looks great, but a little too small.

My personal favorite is evasion mode one, just because of the amazing engineering

I love yourvids your the best keep up the work

I modded my SS32 prime and painted him so I'm a little bias but he's my favorite Voyager prime and I've had battle blades

The one issue I have with this figure is the size like I just wish he should be 7 inches or 6.6 inches cuz that would be so much better

My personal favorite voyager prime is probably either Earthrise or Legacy G2 Prime. I really love the Earthrise mold but also the tabs on my copy that connect the chest to the stomach are kinda loose. It's not so bad that it just flops off willy-nilly, but it doesn't take much for him to literally go tits up. The G2 one is amazing, I love the proportions and the shoulder missile gimmick, the trailer is much better, and the possibility is pretty much as good as Earthrise, except for the shoulders. As much as I love the shoulders, they do have a tendency to get in the way. But other than those small issues, they're both really amazing IMO and I can't wait for the Armada Prime.

One thing you didn't mention is he has pinned tires which I greatly appreciate

This looks like such a great figure, I love that this has such a great articulation!

I got one a couple days ago. Great figure. My only problem I got is a SUUUUPER tight head ball joint

0:35 that was my first Transformers toy ever 💀

In the Philippines this thing cost like a Leader class pricepoint grrrreaaatttt

The new SS prime looks like it has really bad hotrod shoulders this is a nice alternative. This things proportions aren’t accurate but they’re amazing, he looks buff asf.

I just got him today and ive been fiddling with him all day and its a good fill in untill i find that studio series prime

Really cool figure of Optimus.Can’t wait for when it comes out near me!

If you want a more accurate cannon use the galvatron cannon, it looks pretty good

In my opinion what it lacks is accsesories like we only got the ion blaster btw was not is rotb and we didnt get any other weapon but anyways its a cool figure for me I own it and It has no flaws on my copy so yeah

anyone else really hoping this mold get's like a huffer or some other character retool?

I waited so long just to see the mainline prime holding the ss energon blades

I bought one! Thought a little pricey for $35 but I can’t stop transforming it.

my copy doesnt have the problem with the head it stays there doesnt go down

Do you have mpm optimus prime?

appart his small stature, his only flaw is that he severely lack paint. I bought it especially to repaint it

My fav voyager has to be rotf ss optimus prime, i love that figure bc is in the early days of ss line where the plastic was still good quality and solid

This retails in the Uk for £29.99, that’s not £9 cheaper than anything mainline. If anything it’s the most expensive a voyager has been that isn’t a studio series. It is £9 cheaper than battletrap but mainline and studio series have always been different prices in the Uk.

the "EHH" made me laugh

I'd go all out and say this probably has one of the best proportion among all the movie primes. I would have no problem with them just upscaling this and add a few hinge to fold away some panels and call it a studio series leader prime. I honestly don't know whether this is better proportioned, or the newly leaked SS leader prime takes the win.
