The middle wheels hanging is actually accurate to some trucks. And the back end of the truck having hollow bits it super accurate actually. People always complain that it’s not the legs on the back but it’s actually accurate to have big holes in the back of the truck.

Don't care if it's Official, KO, or 3rd party. If it's a figure I want and it's good quality I'm down.

The middle wheels are supposed to hang like that. It's very accurate to its real life counterpart.

The middle wheels issue is also present on my official SS38 Optimus.

This should've been the real Nemesis Prime. Not the purple eyed evil Optimus they horribly called "Nemesis"

I will never forgive myself for selling my original studio series version of this figure

I’m ready to see what his rise of the beast toy looks lol

I don't have any transformers figures but I like watching alot of these reviews!

Yeah I'm glad you addressed those things in your video, as I still see people be confused about how Hasbro/Takara handles their productions! Though I feel that topic could be made into it's own Video, but Good Review otherwise! I've been enjoy your stuff man, it has super chill and unique vibe to it!

I have the regular red version of this KO mold and it's got the same QC issues with the elbow joints, so that seems to be a consistent thing.

There's a Shattered Glass repaint of this figure, I plan on getting that one. Awesome review! Love how you present your videos.

My one sucks in QC The feet fell off, the arms just fall off if I put too little force and the paint is already almost 50% chipped off

That looks so so cool

I totally get that KOs are inherently shady, and fully understand others who view them with distain and would rather get official or 3rd party. But, as someone who has to view every figure through the lines of what's affordable and what fits best in my collection, KOs are a pretty good option for me personally. I don't have any loyalty to hasbro, because really why should I? All I want is the best product my money can buy, and whether it's official or not doesn't matter to me

My guy, the middle wheels not rolling is common on the official as well (at least from what I've seen). Earthrise Trailer CAN plug in, its great.

Ko or not, this prime is one of the best design i ve seen in years. And that there is a great ko of it makes it just better. Ppl need to understand license can be bought and it can be crap where else things don't have license can be a genius or craftsman that does understand and appreciate the art.

Aside from the red windows and missing a crane on the back, the truck mode reminds me of the truck chase from Terminator 2 XD

This thing proves that knock-off isn’t always bad. This is probably the best Nemesis prime figure I’ve ever seen.

I currently own the original Studio Series figure. It's actually pretty good, despite the kibble and slight inaccuracies. Mine had some QC issues, such as small tabs not plugging in, but that's it.

Thanks for the review. I just ordered the normal color version and i am very excited for it!!

I have this Prime. He's actually the best IMO among the prime figures. But SS 32 is a equally great figure with this figure. But this KO has a leg pivot that the original doesn't have so that's a pro The cons is that die cast plastic. I don't like die cast plastic because I owned the Evasion mode nemesis Prime from the same company and it didn't last a week. So yea, these are just personal opinions. BTW you can store the gun under the truck

i just got this guy the other day and omg he's so good. and having die cast? absolutely perfect.

I actually got this guy a couple weeks ago but in red however when I transformerd him both feet tore off so now I got another one that's coming this weekend

Yeah got mine for 15$ bc i wasn’t paying for the SS prime from this line. Way too expensive

For the loose joints you can use parchment paper to thicken up the joints for example for the mushroom pegs on the hips you can use the parchment paper to add another layer to prevent it being lose(the hips are also on screws) the kibble on the arms are also removable. Yes the joints on mine are lose and it was easy to fix, for the knees it’s also on screws so you decide on how tight you want it to be.

Middle wheels not touching the ground is a common thing on real life trucks too. I've seen alot of trucks that don't have certain wheels touching the road.

5:45 when you said "its better than the evasion mode prime" well ACTUALLY, due to licensing issues upon molding this toy, they would have to use the '1997 Marmon HDT AC86' truck which WAS the ON-SCREEN truck that was USED in optimus prime's evasion mode back in the 2014 Transformers AoE film. paramount apparently used an unlicensed and modified '1987 Freightliner FLA 86' truck on the ending scene of the bumblebee movie. so to avoid licensing issues, hasbro decided to use the marmon truck in this studio series 38 optimus. but still, the detail is awesome, it breathes more life to the iconic optimus prime that people grew up with as the OG transformers fans (like me)

Personally I only have one and it’s a Gen 1 Soundwave from Toys R us

I highly recommend this figure for anyone wanting there first KO Just please make sure to loosen the screws a little bit

Like I have said before, the *Aoyi Mech LS-13 Tactical Commander* is a over-sized and improved Knock Off of this mold. If you liked the one in your video, I guarantee you'll love that one too.

Its a very good knockoff but the head cover for the truck mode is a pain to undo and the arm makes the cover for the arm is printed the same way as the other one

Apparently the middle wheels problem is due to the original mold. Mine has same issue and I tried to enlarge the holes in the back of the arms where the legs go but didn't worked because the smokestacks still get in the way. Some people manage to store the rifle in the gap between the legs in truck mode. Doesn't work on mine but you should try.

picked this guy up off of amazon recently. Sadly mine arrived with a broken waste so his legs pop off when transforming it. Still a cool figure all around.

I just got this off Amazon and I'm so excited to receive it I've always wanted an actual nemesis prime that's not from an animated series

Got this a couple months ago, great figure

Thank you..

This looks very good for a knock off

Have you got the shattered glass repaint version of it the shattered glass looks cool

The gun can actually store beneath the truck mode to fill that gap

Is this the the one on amazon?

Oh that intro song makes my ears buzz, ouch. lmao

I have 4 KOs of this same mold, they're all great

Could the KO makers have been foreshadowing?? So there's this, and now Takara's about to drop MPM12N Nemesis Prime...if they haven't already.

Thank your for leaving links

Mine seems to have weird QC it’s outward hips are a tad loose but the shoulders moving outward is a tad stiff still for like 15-17 dollars it’s an awesome figure makes me wish I had gotten the official when it was around

you should buy the transformers studio 38 Optimus Prime your eyes will be enjoying it

Picked this guy up from amazon very happy. amazon page got deleted though haha

That is one hell of a value for $15! Too bad I missed it :(

I found 1 for around $30 and the only problems i have are that the windows under his arms are lose, the shins dont tab in even though theres a tab, and some screws showing in the back. But over all amazing figure highly recomend

Damn that look good

Can you make a tutorial how to shave what type of parts that the middle wheels can also roll Plus I also have the figure it’s a very good one it has everything that I wanted for a good price

I’m plan to buy this

I have this and love it

He broke twice for me. He has loose joints, one head horn broke off, and his abdomen thing broke, although it doesnt impact robot mode, just transformation is something I won't do. Transformation sucks. Gun too loose. Edit: Oh, the head and the top flap get STUCCCKCKKK in truck mode. Edit: I'm pretty sure the gap looks like a real truck, so thats one thing they did good.

idk if its ust my fig but the leg part dont seem to tab in in robot mode any tips to fix?

i got mine and i do love it.

Can this figure hold weapons from official figures

6:14 the earthrise Optimus Prime’s trailer does work with the figures trailer hitch because I gave my studio series 38 Optimus Prime (from Bumblebee) the trailer and it works well and just a little bit stiff at first but it will loosen up over time without badly damaging the figure and it completes the G1 astatic the mold is going for. (Just a thought for if you do get earthrise Optimus or siege Nemesis)

Hey I just got that figure lol. Nice review

Idk if this gonna work, but can’t you use like a screwdriver to tighten it?

I got this and on mine the left arm is loose and I have to use a knife to get the panel that goes where the head used to be to get it out every time I transform him, but other than that I love the figure.

Where do you get this

As a person who's low on cash and want to have nemesis prime, this is a big W

Is this the one from Amazon

I want this!

Guess what? Last summer, I got this on wish. It took 6 months to get here, and you know what I got? A normal, regular colored studio series bumblebee movie Optimus, with awful qc, and a broken gun. The panels on the arms and on the back covering the tires just keep falling off, and the truck mode doesnt hold together.

QC for this varies for people. Mine is pretty solid in all areas.

Picked this chap up off AliExpress for just over £10 including postage. I was very surprised how good he looks. Quite a bit of metal in there. Only fault, one if his arms is floppy.

Want it ,need it , gotta have it

Seeing how current Hasbro do their toys, and the huge Quality Drop of Hasbro beys Compared to Takara Tomy beyblades, i think what Hasbro is doing ain't about "conformity" anymore.

I actually ordered it and it’s coming tomorrow

This is the second transformer that I have

Trying to buy this on Amazon but it didn't work. Also u can fit the trailer on the figure

The back veing gappy is acurate to real semi trucks though i think

Speaking of Ko’s I got a ko mp-13 but I kinda like it more cause the different articulated fingers and yes the hands work a little weird but I don’t mind

Was there shipping cost on this?

i cant belive its 10$ im buying one

Another thing a lot of people don't consider during 3P vs Official is price-point. Yes, the $200 3P Optimus Prime is probably better than the $30 Optimus Prime I picked up at Walmart, but I only have so much money, so much shelf-space, and so much patience Ditto for quality, a figure can be all that and a bag of chips but if it breaks on first transformaton (with instructions) then I'm immediately shit out of luck.

are you gonna make a video on the MP-10V you own?

I need a link for it because my little brother ripped off his feet 😢

i just bought one today

Ohhh it's nemesis prime I had the other one Optimus prime

I hope the next mpm its good like tje starscream, cuz I really would like to support them, but damm the price of mpm12 (and his overall design)

I bought this KO and I'm receiving it next year but I wanna askdoes it come with a matrix of leadership?

Im planning to get normal, this, and ss

Yooooo I got the Mechanical Alliance KO like less than a month ago

I'm starting to think the drop tests are bullshit because my studio series grimlock's wheelie fell two feet to the ground and the peg that holds the arm on broke off and that was it first time falling I had literally gotten it like 3 days before

That's the joke, Hasbro used the Marmon truck from Age of Extinction, not the Freightliner from the Bumblebee movie. I don't know why but that's what they did.

Which company made this? 🤔

I Have The Black and purple One

the gap in the back of the truck is accurate to real truck..

Where did you buy this because I want one

Is there a Megatron or a bumblebee to this figure?

I own this KO to but mine is, or the quality is bad. The damn truck won’t even lock together right.

I gotta be honest I get Takara has to go through more but that mp optimus was unforgivable they can do better and they have many many many times before

hasbro saw how cool the colors r and made a japan excliseve of the figure

it does work with the earthrise prime trailer.

Ordered over a month ago, never arrived :(

Am I the only one that noticed that the the evasion mode prime and this bumblebee prime the truck modes are switched

Fun fact this truck mode is invasion mode optimus prime
