To be clear: The company is currently not working at full capacity due to covid outbreak. They had planned a 2022 release but it has been pushed back till at least January 29, 2023, a week after January 22 chinese new year holiday. Showz, tfsource, and Bombusbee are estimating February 2023 for mass consumer release. The cyber key is a preorder bonus from the distributor not affiliated with TR. Showz and Bombusbee will get it thru their distributor. The review copies will differ from final versions, taking away redundant tabs.

I have the original Cybertron version, in a box in my closet like ten feet away. I loved that toy, it's so good. Was my go to Optimus for ages.

Because many people may be wondering: There is a + shaped slot where the side windows were that the arms will fit into. It is *not* spring loaded and *not* compatible with leobreaker. If TR were to implement savage claw mode they'd have to design an all new peg and it would fit into the slot by friction alone. Even then there is no way to implement savage claw and super mode at the same time due to backpack not allowing one arm to fold back. Magmotion featured a video comparing TR02 with sonic wing mode. Promising, because there is nothing really stopping sonic wing mode from happening except there is no way to attach gun heels to the super mode feet.

I have the OG cybertron optimus prime. On the OG, the little crotch plate actually does softly lock the chest in during vehicle mode which is nice. The transformation is very similar to the OG, but with just a little variation.

I can hear Gary Chalk say "Our worlds are in danger. To save them and the galaxy we must find the four cyber planet keys before the decepticons can use them for evil. It is our mission."

Just got my release copy. All of the fingers disintegrated after my initial transformation. This figure came with a little baggy containing 10 replacement figures that seem to be made of sturdier plastic, but it was still shocking and frustrating having to replace them all first thing out of the box. Also, I'm so glad I watched how you transformed him into super mode, I didn't trust those thin black "backpack straps" to not break, but extending the shoulders like that did the trick! Overall, an amazing looking figure, I'm just sad I have to worry about the durability of the plastic.

This is definitely a faithful update to the OG toy. The OG toy was already reasonably show accurate to begin with, and this just made it even more so. I have the Siege Galaxy Upgrade too, so glad I got it at retail, the price for it now is insane.

I have the original Cybertron optimus prime, and it remains one of my favorite transformers all these years later. Only issue I ever had was the super mode had a clip crack, but it still functions as normal. One thing I wonder how Show Z will handle is the Leobreaker and Saber combine modes.

Really looking forward to posing him alongside Maketoys Galaxy Meteor Really hoping Transform and Rollout make a Megatron to go with him

A TR Wing Saber and/or leobreaker that combines with this would complete my childhood

I remember reading once that the unicron trilogy animation models were made in close association with the toy designs. If that is indeed the case, its unsurprising that a very good amount of screen accuracy is possible for these recent 3rd party toys without terribly complex transformations, since the designs were specifically made to make that possible. The really complex 3rd party transformations are often a product of the general sloppiness of the G1 animation, or the complexity of the live action animation (and if TFP or Earthspark ever get 3rd party toys they'll be in a similar place)

I had the OG Cybertron Prime (should search for it, must be somewhere), it was massive, this version looks awesome

Wow, that looks awesome

This rules! Awesome review 👍

I’ve had this on pre order for a couple years now. Lol. Really happy it’s finally about to release. Good review.

Great review. I have the original on my shelf now. I can’t imagine ever getting bored of it. Definitely my favourite Optimus Prime.

This company has a true love for this version of Optimus for sure, so faithful to the original yet updated so perfectly

I know it isn’t something you would normally do but can you rank all of the dna design upgrade kits by how well they fixed all the figures problems.

I love when the transformation is simple yet on point to the show

I managed to preorder one thanks to your video!

I had the original release of this toy when I was a kid. I played with it at my grandparents everyday 🥰 such a blast of nostalgia

Such a lovely homage to the toys! Wish i had it

Still own, and absolutely love the original Cybertron Prime toy. It's big, durable, and still display worthy. Only nitpick I had then was the unpainted Cyber Key which was call in a blue transparent plastic. This third party rerelease definitely does this toy justice, and the paint aps all around are spot as are the colors. Interesting differences. The original I believe lit up as well as fired missiles. 3 in total, and the feet had a spring joint of sorts to extend them for the commander mode. Really surprised how well this toy has held up over the years with no breakage issues whatsoever.

This version is everything and a little more than what I thought it would be. I had the original version so he is faithful to the original version. It does have so new tweeks to it. I am going to be on the lookout for this Optimus prime for definite. Great review as aways I look forward to seeing your next one.

I love the original version which i still have in combined mode with star saber, is really a straight foward clone with some twist and a lot of diecast and it looks insanely beautiful.

I almost fell in love with this figure since TNR had released gray prototype. Can't wait to get him in hand

Falling in love with this design and finally get my hands on it

Chanels like your keep my love for transformers alive, I can no longer collect right now, priorities go first but damn, the toys are really amazing these days, especialy 3rd party. armada was my introduction to the series, and cybertron prime has got to be one of the coolest optimus design ever.

Hopefully this can spark ideas in other third party companies heads about getting more unicron trilogy and maybe tf animated characters from them, it would be great to see some of the characters we never got to see as figures from animated

This looks phenomenal, literally perfect.

This was the first transformer i ever owned as a kid , love this third party companies releasing this again .. I really need one

I remember i had this as a kid, was so cooool

Hopefully we can get a Leobreaker for SCM and Wing Saber for SWM but as it is, it’s already an amazing figure

The OG Cybertron figure was my absolute favorite. My mom had actually sold it at some point during my teens and I was devastated. About a decade later (last year) I found it again at a Frank N Sons near me. The exact same one. Since my dad put my name on all my toys 😂😂

Im definitely gonna get this for sure!

It is so cool I think I might preorder it.

One of my favorite Optimus Prime designs.

Cybertron Optimus Prime had a mouth as an homage to Optimus Primal (as they were both voiced by Garry Chalk)! His face mask was only deployed in Super Mode!

whoo! The Heroic Optimus Prime has return!

Looks badass 💪💪

After seeing Armada Prime's Legacy figure, I can't wait to see what Cybertron/Galaxy Prime's figure in Legacy would look like :D

I love u channel man

I want this. Now.

The transformation is nearly identical to the original. I had the Wingsaber combo pack growing up and I regret selling it when I was younger. Easily one of my favorite figures I owned

Nice

This figure is AWESOME! It’s so big, and accurate to the show. So, can you do the Transformers/Street Fighter crossover figure?

the og cybertron prime had the key insert into those lader things in vehicle mode which could cause flashing lights in the one that opens and closes akin to a croc/alligator or those 2 bits within the other ladder part can pop out via a spring also dont know if he had lights and sounds or not, his wheels weren't rubber per ray but he still rolled really well, and he was a hefty boi (not nearly as much as metroplex mind you) also idk if the one in this videp can combine with leobreaker or that other one for either savage claw mode or sonic wing mode

God I can’t wait for this figure

Where do u get ur high quality studio series transformers figures cuz when I buy my figures there so low quality loose joints and pieces tht don't tap

This thing is awesome

Now if only we can get a Leobreaker and Savage Claw Mode.

1:56 I used to own the Galaxy Force redeco of the original figure, but it’s right arm broke off when I tripped and fell down the basement stairs of my house while trying to carry it to my room.

The only concern I had with TR-02 CoS was the fact that the arms that attached to the cannons were too long or even uneccessary when in robot mode and flight vehicle mode. And while there was no way to recreate the cannon opening gimmick on the left cannon from the show, the mechanism looked powerful enough to open the outer "jaws" of the cannon

Damn it's about time they made another toy for this Prime. I recently picked up the original toy and it is without the doubt the best Optimus Prime figure that I own.

I've said this too many times in Cybertron videos, but I have a slight feeling that... our worlds are in danger...

Full Unicron Trilogy Optimus finally got there 3rd masterpiece style

Hey Prime I love your video I have been sub for 4 years Autobots roll out.

Cool video mister primevsprime

Do you have the magic square mp size nemesis?

I wanted these so bad when I was a child. I had very cheap KO version of Megatron. I even participated in cartoon Network contests to get these.

Very nice figure. I had the Original back when I was a kid. I made the stupid mistake of bringing it to school one day and someone stole it. Maybe one day i'll pick this guy up. I'd like to see this company do a Cybertron Galvatron figure since they did a good job with Optimus

The second mp this year that goes through mass shifting and dwarfs the mainline counterpart in robot mode, while that not being the case in alt mode

Fun fact Gary chalked is the voice actor for the unicron trilogy optimus

Man i might have the original somewhere at my folks, gonna need to visit mom to take a look at it and do a comparison

I wonder if he can combine with Leobreaker if they release the figure. Did he combine with jet fire to ?

man that version of cybertron optimus prime bring back memories when I had the original cybertron optimus prime.

Still got my original Cybertron Optimus Prime, and this is pretty cool in comparison. Bits I like: the diecast in the legs, the feet and fingers articulation is better, the wheels that make the hip skirts have better maneuverability, and the jetpack section looks less bulky than the original. Things to improve upon imo: the Matrix doesn't look as accurate to the show as the original Matrix in the original toy, I prefer the little lever in the back of the head on the original to bring up the battle mask instead of flipping the face up and around, and there's no slot for the unique designed Cyber Key in the main weapons on the jetpack. Things I don't like: the waist section compared to the original looks a bit less stable despite providing much better maneuverability than the original, and if I'm being picky I prefer the head sliding up on a slider like on the original toy (but the cover on the back is so much cleaner!) and if the company were to produce their versions of Leobreaker and Wingsaber, I'm not sure how well those would combine - the toys were almost completely identical in-hand compared to how they combined in the show. Overall: an 8.5 out of 10, borderline 9 out of 10. This is a superb update to the original figure released from the show, with minor nitpicks to complain over, but this featured is only a sample piece so it will continue to get better. Will the final figure released be worth the asking price? Probably.

So, much like the MP Datsuns & Hot Rod, this guy's just the original Galaxy Force/Cybertron toy with extra steps. Nice!! (If I weren't so hellbent on tryna get the Eagle KOs of Thundercracker and Skywarp, I'd gladly drop that idea to get this behemoth!!)

I have the Japanese re-deco which is black instead of blue and I'm missing the feet pieces for the super mode feet which is needed for the truck mode, and I love it. Though I would have liked it to be blue because it looks better.

Question: What does Pre-Order do? I’m very new to ordering online so.

This is 99% of the exact transformation of the original. Even the tabs. You definitely should of showed the other modes they were essential to the show. Oh well I'll stick with my original but this one looks great no doubt. Doesn't look as "fun" as the og though & that has all the joints beyond maybe thigh swivels. I can't remember but yeah he had Gary Chalks voice too so it made sense that he looked like primal. He came after BW of course great review bro

YES... flying truck mode :D

I hope they are working on a leobreaker/ligerjack and wing saber/sonic bomber

Well I'm annoyed i won't get the key possibly that would have been amazing to get but still exited for the figure tho really

I like it when the transformers are big figures

Double post the battle mask was only deployed in super mode

Lol I still have mine downstairs with Leo breaker attached thinking about selling the collection

wish he could do the savage claw mode

I reaaaallllyyyyy want to see a remake of Megatron from this series. This series.has some of my favorite designs of all time for both Optimus and Megatron. Still have both the originals put up safely

Is it wider than it is tall?

I’m watching the Unicron trilogy for the first time and I’m still on Armada lol

Damnnnn I want this so badddd but its so muchhhh

Finally. FINALLY, I HAVE FOUND IT! Context: So, a LONG time ago, back when I was four, my second-oldest brother, Matt, used to have this exact figure. Him and my dad would never let me play with it, since they were (key word; "were") planning on selling it, and I hadn't seen it often since then... Until yesterday, when I went into the closet of my brother, Seth's room, and upon a shelf within, there it was, almost complete. It's got EVERYTHING (I think), except functioning electronics, since the batteries that were (and, as a matter of fact, still are) in there are all busted and stuff, but, hey, it's got the matrix of leadership, so that's all that matters, heh heh.

Now we just need Galaxy Force Megatron PLEASE

I’m thought about Optimus don’t have see in any combiner? For Wing Saber and Leobreaker????

Imagine if they’ve done Angrybirds Transformers

GALAXY CONVOY!! SUPER MODE!!

my Favorite version of Gundamimus Prime 🤘🏻😎

You think we will get any of the recolors of this mold that existed? Galaxy Force Optimus? Hot Zone? Menasor?

I hope the RotB studio series version of Optimus is different from the Bumblebee one

The balls on this company are made of steel for slapping that autobot logo on the planet key. Respect and hope Hasbro's lawyers don't fire the 150mm Cease and Desist gun

“OuR wOrLdS aRe In DaNgEr. 🎵 🎵 🎵 “

I know I'm asking too much for the time being, but I'll likely wait to see the final price, and be too late to pre-order by then!

The original figure is arguably the best Optimus Prime toy. A great size, is pretty posable even by today's standards, and most of the gimmicks are in the jetpack so their's no compromises to the core robot mode. Plus all the other bots that powerlink with that further adds to the playability. Completely badass toy, see if you can find it.

This looks pretty cool, thou I feel they are adding some extra steps that could easily be scrapped for the final product, such as how his shoulder work with the back pack, thou I doult I'll get him, I wouldn't mind if Hasbro took another shot at him but at a commander price point, this verison, its transformation is 99% the same as the original with a few minor and pointless changes

I just got my copy in the mail today and unfortunately, 4 of the fingers crumbled at the pin joints and fell off as soon as I opened the hands. I've already contacted showZstore after sales service to see if they can get replacement hands. I'm interested to hear if other people have had similar issues.

Am i only one excited for "Fsching!!" sound effects that PVP do in the face swapping gimmick?

Five Modes, One Powerful Autobot.

At first glance this looks like a very cheap toy. Then after your review I think it's a very nice cheap toy. It's got articulatable fingers, and the all needed ab crunch. The feet look good too.👍great review job 👏

My big brother and I own the old version of cybertron Optimus prime
