This Prime has something MP10 doesn’t. The ability to put Orion’s head on Optimus and it’s amazing!

Something I really really love about this figure is the headsculpt, it's THE PERFECT head, super similar to mp10's and it fits practically every Optimus ever even that mp44 thing would look super cool with one of these

This figure was the only transformers toy I bought in years, I remember going to a Walmart and seeing this guy, picked him up immediately and became really happy with it. It has everything I could want in a G1 Optimus.

When Prime combines with his trailer, it’s always the best Prime. Love the idea of Orion becoming Optimus. Neat little gimmick. The window pecks should have been painted for the sake of the Truck Mode hiding the Matrix. Great figure. As a side note: I do wish we’d stop the idea Optimus HAS to always look like G1. It limits a lot of cool transformations. Like having a backpack, having a fake truck face, combining with other figures or even with his trailer for a super mode.

No joke. I almost bought this Prime. Not sure why I didn’t.

I love this figure too, but don't really like the idea of Optimus himself just being a super mode for Orion Pax. So I've got the GenSel- Starconvoy. Slightly different styling but still the same strong points and a silver V-fin on prime. Plus the small Convoy is basically a transforming Action-Master prime

"leader class scale" yeah no, there was no scale, that's why leader class toys were so big

He actually doubles pretty nice with Combiner Wars Megatron

100% agreed. I LOVE this Prime. I love that he has a Matrix cavity and a removable Matrix, I adore the fact that Orion Pax got a figure and that he can "evolve" or combine with the trailer to make his Prime form. Everything about this just oozes history and lore. I agree with the issues as well. My side stickers have begun to peel a little bit, probably because I've fiddled a lot with him, transforming him back and forth (but it's SO FUN). And the big Prime mode's feet were loose from the beginning, so I've always had to be careful posing the big guy. But yea, this is my Prime just as Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus is my Magnus - despite some QC issues, because he comes with Minimus Ambus and that's just… cool. I love me some IDW connections.

Same here, this is my favourite Optimus Prime. Strangely enough, this feels like a more faithful re-imagining of Power Master Optimus than the one we got in Titans Return. The only thing missing is the little Power Master fella (Hi-Q), but that can be easily fixed by adding on one of those little Prime Master dudes.

Question did G1 starscream ever turned his waist in the G1 cartoon show

I really wanted this figure but never found it when I had money. I was hesitant because I didn’t like the whole “Optimus is the trailer” but now I appreciate what they were and that Optimus isn’t necessarily the trailer that’s just how they store it to make the figures combine and work together. Sad I missed. However one figure I skipped out on was the Beast Hunters Voyager Prime and I just ordered that mint sealed in box for $50 and that’s a steal. Very slowly fixing my past mistakes.

This was my childhood prime, i recently fixed up some paint chipping and I'm glad i did

I don't have him. But SS 38 is my favorite

I remember when this first came out i found it on the shelf at a walmart lol. I begged my mom to get it, she hesitated because it was 50 dollars, but in the end got it for me. It sits on my top shelf to this day. One of the best optimus primes of recent for sure.

This is my Masterpiece size Prime. I custom painted and stickered him up. He stands next to my Meteor and Despotron and fits perfectly. Great review as always, keep it up Man!! 🍔🤖

The ankles ruin the entire figure for me along with the gray fists and panels

im gonna get the upscaled KO because it's the same price for me, it's a great figure

This is the review i’ve been waiting for it it was good

Definitely enjoy seeing this figure get the praise it really does deserve, it's hugely underrated by the fandom overall. Both Siege and Earthrise Prime still take a higher spot imo but this mold definitely is my definitive Nemesis Prime, and I still enjoy it enough that I might just track down the regular deco.

Its a missed opportunity for hasbro to make an ultra magnus remold of this

My best friend gave me this a figure as a gift and I still love it. Personally I prefer the WFC molds for Optimus now but I still think this figure is amazing and I love having an Orion Pax that actually looks like the original cartoon.

This was the toy that got me back into buying Transformers. It really is such a fun figure.

That Optimus Prime is awesome!

Might get this big ol dude! I always love the look or the Orion figure too, so maybe one day I'll pick it up. 😁👍🏻

Love this figure and the Nemesis Prime repaint/head retool. That said, the alt mode is ugly with panels that don't like to connect and the feet need to be bulked up so that this guy can balance properly. Otherwise, perfection. I was keeping the boxes for both figures for years and then realized I never want to part with them because they're fantastic!

I was lucky enough to get this figure around when it came out. Still stands on my shelf.

Hopefully I'll get my hands on one of these someday. My favorite Prime was the Energon Prime, I miss my collection from the 90s/2000s so much.

This one of my favourite in collection too. I painted the grey areas to match better Prime. After paint he looks amazing. There are a lot of paint customizations on the web. The feet had the same problem out of the box. You just need to apply nail polish to fix that. I actually enjoyed leader Rodimus too.

Orion 'evolving' into Optimus like a Pokemon.

This is my favorite prime too, the earthrise is nice for my G1 shelf but as a nice stand alone piece he's perfect to me.

This is not your average Optimus Prime... This is Optimus Prime... NEXT LEVEL!!!!!!

I have the nemesis prime version of this mold and I love it, it also comes with extra accessories that make him more unique he comes with a red star saber a bird that transforms into a sword and the transformers armada writs guns

I was so lucky to get mine on clearance at Wal-Mart. I love it.

I love the concept of this guy, and the front profile is great. Then you turn him around.

They had this at my local Wall Mart and I caught it at 30% off and I had to snag it. It was one of the best toy purchases I have ever made. It is by far my favorite leader class Optimus.

One of the best head sculpts of Prime's head

I remember hen I was a kid i had this optimus prime which had a trailer and these miniature transformers, that came with it, but for the life of me never found any images of it. It is driving me nuts.

I got one of these in a box of a lot of random Transformers a couple of years ago. He was complete, but the panel the head is on is cracked near the hinge which leads to it being at a slight angle. Because of that, I am too afraid to mess with the head. I had no idea you can display the Orion Pax head on the full Prime body. I love this figure...and as soon as I find another one complete I will be buying it :)

I had no interest in this version, but bought the Nemesis Prime iteration and just loooove it!

I got the nemesis prime variant, not disappointed. Absolutely love this mold.

i had the power master remake first and liked it but i always hope for like a "super mode" with prime going into armour or in engergons case putt his big boy booties on and the power master one just all slides together cab and all one peice but then this one came out and i saw the whole gimmick of sliding pax in and i bolted to the store to grab one and sold my power master one cause it served no purpose in my collection since getting this one, i like posing him with some of his panels out on his arm like shields and putting his guns in his pax arms and having them look like shoulder mounts

My bro "ninja bill" still has his & messed with it a bunch to this day. He loves it as well.

This was actually my first optimus prime toy and was one of my first toys when I was re-entering collecting.

He really is a great Prime! I ended up selling mine to fund my TE-01 but I still have the Nemesis Prime version on display 😁

This Prime got me into collecting again

The idea he's Orion Pax is magic. Leader Optimus next to my commander Snarl giga and studio series. Need a motor master to match in scale.

I have this and the Amazon exclusive nemesis prime and the both look soo good

My Favorite Optimus Fig is The RotF/DotM Leader Class Prime (NOT THE ULTIMATE WACKY PRIME), (JAPANESE VERSION/TAKARA VERSION. NOT THE FIRST EDITION) AoE Leader Class Optimus Prime, SS44 Prime, 2007 Movie Masterpiece Prime. To be honest i don’t have those. I want to have them badly....

you can flip the windows down on orion pax to have a cleaner back

I just got Toyworld knight Orion and it’s my most favorite Optimus in my collection

As much as I adore earthrise prime and it is my definitive g1 shelf prime, this guy may be my all time favourite. He’s not perfect, some plastic is cheap, lot of hollow limbs, but as you say, massive mp10 vibes. And I made my own head canon for why there’s visible trailer all over him, it’s like swat gear, he’s bolted on extra plating to enhance his frame and he’s off to fight an army single handed with his big effing gun. Definitely considering hunting one of these down again, loved it.

I use to own this guy and I still have the Nemesis Prime. In recent years my opinions on POTP toys have gone down, but this guy is still up there as one of the toyline's best (which isn't saying much, BUT, this guy is actually good).

I replaced the core robot with Star Convoy's for a ginrai feel. He's one of my top primes. You can pretty much open the trailer for a g1 trailer base, too

I was kinda tempted by the Nemesis Prime variant of this mold

I got my POTP Optimus out of storage last week, and I had forgotten how chunky and awesome it was. My biggest issue is that it doesn't scale super-well with any of the Megatrons that I have (he looks damn fine paired against the Target exclusive Bumblebee Movie Titan Master Soundwave, however).

Wish I could track down the upgrade kit that lets you to have both Orion and Optimus formed at the same time.

Ankles are to be locked back by a soft click for better balance and more straight looking shins.

Dude i love star convoy so much, i bought 2 just to display in both modes. If you love this, you really need star convoy. The inner prime alone warrants the purchase

This just makes me wonder why we don’t have a mainline Starsaber by now

i think er prime edges this out on fidelity to the design, but the integration of orion pax brings so much to the table for this guy, he might not be perfect but it’s great to have a toy that can switch between the two

Pls tell me the name of the song at the beginning of this video, plz

Do you know where I can get this figure for a reasonable price? Ever since I’ve seen another review of this figure, I’ve wanted one.

I was lucky enough to get the nemesis prime version, I like him a little better than optimus not just because of the extra weapons but I absolutely love the paint on him, the dark black is awesome and the little hints of blue and red just pop.

I always wondered why there was grey on Optimus's arms and legs... now I know...

What kind song is this for intro?

This Prime could use a few minor upgrades like Gapfillers and maybe something to hide Orion's kibble a little better...but he's pretty great.

This figure is definitely one of the best primes in leader class unlike Earthrise Prime where they chuck in extra stuff to a voyager price point to inflate the price

I like how this figure used the trailer as his main body so it's just like ultra magnus

If you dont like the loose joints maybe get some floor polish to stiff them up a bit

How much is this? If it's a decent price ill get it because I do love what u can do with this prime and i love the details on it

I went to a used toy store looking for a prime with a trailer because all the new prime figures don't have the trailer. They had earth rise prime for $70. It doesn't even come with roller. One of my favorite parts of my g2 prime was launching roller down the ramp of primes trailer so I thing earth rise should have roller. I saw this Prime on the top shelf for $60 and I grabbed him. It is the coolest prime I have ever seen and it was so worth the money to me. Now I need a megatron in his scale to match him.

The star convoy is cool but do the reverse the star thing on the front. It pops open if you look at it wrong otherwise

If there is one thing that dissapoint me in that figure,is that it didnt reveal wheels on its leg,i like when G1 Optimus have that

If i ever look for a good big G1 OP, i will must likely go for this one.

I will always treat my Siege Optimus like my beloved son, but when I get this guy, if ever, I will treat this like my brother. I’m saving the husband spot for MP-01.

Sooooooo This honestly reminds me of my first (genuinely really good) leader, being Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime, from siege. As if that wasn’t good enough, it’s actually an incredible figure!

AMAZING!

I loved the power of the prime designs (could have been better though) real shame they didn't invest more into the body articulation but that's my personal gripe.

Wait what did they do with the Leader Class???

Could you please do reviews on all of your Transformers because You have some that I've never seen before and can you also make your videos Longer It would mean a lot

Great to see I’m not on my own here. I hear a lot of negativity regarding this figure but I think he’s great 👍

That is so cool and awesome

I'm so torn between the different versions available. I dislike that Orion Pax robot, it's not at all what I want because I only want Optimus Prime himself. So I don't like that weird truck mode but I do want the trailer to be incorporated into the main robot, like it is here and in the leader class from Titans Return (which to me is a better Power Master version). And then we have Earthrise which is a very nice Optimus but I dislike fake parts and the trailer is also separate...so yeah, major torn.

Star Convoy has quality control issue with the leg for convoy

Because of this video I now have my own.

it' got so much grey in the arms,i think that should be red and hands blue just to match the orion pax

That's so cool I have 2 optimus prime figures but one of them is the optimus prime from the first 3 transformers movies and the other is the one from age of extinction and the last knight I also have starscream from dark of the moon

I received that optimus prime has a birthday gift and it's beutiful

my favorite prime is either the Studio series leader or the LT-02 MPM Prime knockoff

PotP Optimus isn't just my definitive Optimus, but my favorite Transformer of all time. I've got the Star Convoy version of the mold as well, and at this point i'm dedicated to tracking down the Nemesis Prime to complete the set.

Don't get me wrong I love me some ER Prime, But this Prime will always be my favorite Generations Prime. He's actually leader scale, he has a good matrix, and you can create the legendary moment when Orion Pax takes on the light of Cybertron and becomes Optimus Prime.

I have one of these bud unfortunately he’s a bit damaged but he’s appearing in one of my fan films u can find later on my channel

4:13 This made me laugh so hard.

I wish DNA had done a set for this guy to convert him into a Powermaster Optimus (Or at least Star Convoy into Powermaster Optimus...

Ok. So as someone who has this chonky lad, I can confirm that while Orion Prime is funny, putting Optimus’s head on Orion makes it exponentially funnier. I personally call him Optimus Minimus

Another wacky transformation is core class prime transform the head and flip the back flap so its horizontal because the inside detailing looks like a face

I bought this version! It’s so good right?!

I love this figure.

i lost the guns so i just folded out the trailer peice out of his arm to make some shields that can act as a sword
