Your quick review is more in-depth than most people’s scripted reviews! Great toy, great review.

Damn it. I did this to myself. I told myself I didn't need it and then chose to click on a Sixo post about it. When will I ever learn -never-

I'm thrilled Takara took the chance on this. I hope it sells well enough to get dozens of other characters. Prowl, Hot Rod, Devastator... all of them really!

Now THIS is a retro upgrade done right. I'm actually surprised that HasTak didn't do this kind of stuffs before in one of their numerous reissues of G1 toys.

Absolutely love the fact that we’ve gotten more Sixo this week! I’ll watch in any format- but this has certainly been great to watch regardless!

It's so sureal seeing this. The hand fix alone is just so good.

Your positive voice and obvious love for this hobby is really an inspiration.

The ratchets and rubber wheels are a pleasant surprise that I hadn't noticed yet in written reviews or previews. Also that foam insert 🤤🤤🤤

I want moar of these. Missing Link Jazz in particular, his G1 toy was pretty cartoon accurate aside from his legs being pinned together.

Finally, the first video that shows all the poses he can make

Imagine having this G1 articulated version back in the late 80's playing with it while the other kids have their normal G1 version. :)

Next, I dare them to make a Missing Link Magnus where the car carrier transforms into armour with the same level of articulation.

Even a quick dirty video from you is extremely professional and immense quality. Personally I loved it being out so quick rather than a delay - I think you have room for both in your repertoire

To this day, I still wonder when Sixo will tell us “more about that later”

In the 80s, I lost Prime's hands on the school bus. One of the other kids found them and threw them out the window. I'm glad to see I won't have that problem with the integrated hands. ;) Excellent review. Looking forward to getting this in my collection. Such an amazing upgrade to a classic.

Excellent review, glad i found your channel. This toy is something else, makes me feel like mum is in the kitchen making dinner, and dad will be home in half an hour, then we'll have dinner together. I have a LOT of other toys that I love. No other toy, ever has made me feel loved.

I think the most important aspect in a review is how passionate the reviewer is to what he's reviewing makes the difference. We can find facts and specs easily online nowadays but the emotions and reactions from the product is what makes it unique from all other channels

I got the G2 Prime (G1 with black trailer and voice box) for my 9th birthday. Of all my birthdays as a child, it is the only one I remember the main present I got because of how much it meant to me to have an Optimus Prime. I still have that toy about 30 years later. And as much as I loved it, this version improves on that in EVERY way.

This is super awesome. I would love to see them take this approach with the entire G1 line up to and thru the movie version. Cleaning up quality issues and replacing stickers with paint and prints would be awesome.

Had this pre ordered since last year & finally received it yesterday.. I’m blown away by this figure! Such a game changer, now I need all of the G1 figures to get the missing link treatment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Can’t wait to see how they figure out missing link Megatron

I’ve just opened mine - he’s simply wonderful and has such a magical feeling to him! I absolutely adore him! 😀

After 40 odd years, Prime can finally have a seat.

Aaay managed to get one of these the other day. I was never one to want to colllect the original G1 figures but felt fond of G1 Optimus so this figure is a real treat.

If this means that we would be getting more videos more often then I’m all for it.

This is every 80's kids dream come true.

I completely forgot about this! Already knew I wanted him, now after watching I want him even more!

Genuinely excited for this thing to release here. Got the toy version as I don't have a g1 version yet so this is the perfect stand in for me.

I love that they brought back the Styrofoam tray.

My man, I got this today, and I'm here with you on how giddy you are for this toy. I got past the transformation section of my review and just started playing with it and havent stopped. It's soooo good. Early figure of the year contender! Always great work here, Sixo! Back to work I go!

I just got my hands on him myself, and he's sucha joy to handle as my first ever 1st-party Convoy. I only have one minor gripe is that I can't get the legs to peg back together in cabby mode for some reason. Otherwise, I absolutely love everything that came with this toy.

This guy has been a long time coming. Now, if only we could get a release of the prototype Unicron from when the animated movie came out :D

Getting onto this early rather than releasing a review months after the fact really makes this more of a must-see

I wasn't excited with the announcement but now seeing it in hand that is changing!

Pre-ordered C-02 what feels like a lifetime ago. Waiting patiently for my Prime to make its way to me in Canada. Mulled over getting C-01 versus C-02 but I'm glad I went the animated deco route after you showed it'll hitch up to the classic trailer easy peasy. Thanks for this! and I agree...great review !

Hey good on you, you're the first I saw that noticed the Matrix chamber comes out and there ARE still seats in the cab!

Man, I passed on this fig, but you're making it look dangerously tempting...

I'M GETTING IT! This is what I've wanted since I watched my older brothers VHS recordings of G1 Transformers as a kid in the 80's!

This video, more than any photos or videos elsewhere on the Interwebs, really sold it for me. Thanks, I guess? Truth is, it was your candor and genuine enjoyment of the figure which you shared here, that came across so effectively (and convincingly! More so than any of your previous scripted video reviews. I cannot wait to see your review of C-01 once you get it in hand.

Very excited for this I'm very glad to hear of Die-cast and I had no idea the fists were attached. Will definitely be getting C-02, 01 is a hit much for me.

Imagine what wonders they could pull off doing a vintage makeover for G1 Megatron with this sort of modernized articulation

I love this toy. As an old school Transformers fan this hit the spot. I missed out on the original and thought MP 10 was all I needed but I am so glad I put this and the toy version on pre-order. What a time to be a Transformers fan!

I'm getting both these figures now. I remember beimg 7 or 8 and getting the original in 85 for christmas. (maybe 84 Christmas). Holy crap he is nice.

Looking at this thing of beauty, I made a joke with my online friends calling him DreamMix TV Optimus, because in that game, he was basically the toy design with more articulation

When you think you've seen it all, you get surprised by something like this. More off-the-cuff reviews would be nice, especially for small or grouped toys you feel like gushing about. Would be neat!

Great review Sixo! Keep these videos coming please!

It's so wierd seen g1 prime move like that but is so truly amazing that you can't just not love it. I really hope this sells well so they keep making them so Wheeljack gets this treatment, that I'd buy without a doubt

A great vid, thanks very much - cannot wait for my pre-order notification to hit my inbox!

Loved this style of unboxing videos just as much as your more polished videos, so no complaints from me if you keep on doing both 👌

Great job on the review. I admit seeing what this version can do peaked my interest as looking back at some of the G1 originals they looked nothing like the comic or cartoon. I’m kind of enjoying the more cartoon accurate version like the Studio Series 86 line, but this Optimus is nice! Love the articulation!

A review of this thing, from someone who realizes the figurre needs to be IN FRAME for us to see it. Thank God for that.

I think if it means more reviews getting posted then I’m all for it. Keep them coming Sixo. Figure is breathtaking!

Your work, as always, is top-tier... and boy is this one absolute stunner of a figure. Thanks for giving us a prime look at it!

there's plenty of room in the world for more Sixo Reviews I say ^_^. seriously, this was a stellar review for a 'first lush' unboxing. that Prime is gorgeous, and if they keep the Missing Link line going I think they need to hit Starscream next.

Waited to watch this until I opened mine. Wow. I feel so emotional about this figure. So blown away

amazing figure. Now I need a missing link Megatron, Soudwave, and Starscream.

I enjoyed this unscripted review, it feels more natural and relatable since your love for these figures, and the enjoyment they give you, is actually fealt. I think that's very important. Thanks for creating these videos.

The level of gushing in this video is contagious, it really looks like an amazing figure... Sigh* might need to pick one up >_

Sixto these were my thoughts, it's so special I put it back in box until next play time

One of the best remakes I've ever seen in a vintage-style toy. I'd honestly buy it in a heartbeat if it was a bit less pricey.

Very awesome review and product i think i will buy just the cab missing link and when the retro g1 animated color came out later i will use the trailer for both figure !!!

Thanks Sixo. Your review made me buy two. I hope you're happy! (seriously great review mate, you sold me!)

I'm always more of a fan of the non-scripted, off-the-cuff reviews of figures. Whether they be positive first glances OR negative. It helps me to truly understand where my priorities stand with a figure i'm interested in compared to the reviewers. Amazing job on this one, my toy-colors edition will be here tomorrow (as I'm typing this) and this just made me all the more hyped for mine!

It’s gorgeous. Love the unscripted, naked reactions to the figure. Slightly worried about those opening hands getting loose over time and he can’t hold his gun. Wish they’d stayed solid molds.

Redo the entire 84 g1 line like this....can't wait for my pre-order...excellent review 👍

I had to have both missing links to go with my commemerative reissue and my well used and played with Prime cab from 1984

Great unboxing vid! I was already excited for this, but then your excitement further added to my excitement. I really do hope we get more Missing Link figures.

This looks incredible, I cannot wait to get these figures. I had to preorder both versions because if I only got one I'd forever be kicking myself for not having the other. It's already my figure of the year and I don't even have it in-hand yet. I forgot how much chrome adds to a figure's appearance, it really does make a toy look more premium than just silver paint does. Also not to be all Gewunner but they really have never topped the G1 box aesthetic, have they?

I just received my toy deco one with the trailer. Be very careful with the legs. The sliders don't lock into place at the hip in bot mode, so a fair bit of pressure is put on these sliders when manipulating the legs. And rotating joint at the thigh can be incredibly stiff, because of the chrome. You have to be very careful otherwise you will possibly snap the leg off. I would suggest untransforming him and holding the top of the thigh and the middle of the thigh as best you can, and turning the thigh rotation joint very carefully until the joint is loosened up. Also, while there's no launcher for Roller like the original toy, the switch is moulded into the back of the trailer for accuracy. But amazingly, the missile launchers on the drone are fully working (!!!!) With a range of at least 2m. This is something I haven't seen in a toy for about 30 years. :D

I have ordered this with trailer, super excited! I hope Hasbro brings us more missing link figures. Take my money, I’m all about G1.

Always happy to get more Sixo videos. Really looking forward to this release - I've been trying to explain to my son that I have an Optimus Prime on the way that's an updated version of the toy I most wanted when I was his age.

Fantastic !!! Thank you for your review of this Masterpiece 😊🙏👍

16:10 completes my childhood 😊

Thanks for your review, I am going to buy this Optimus Prime.

Great review! I’ve got the original g1 and I also gave the Japanese new years convoy … and I’m still over the moon about this. Watching the reviews gets me even more excited

Great review. And my word, that thing is glorious.

Yes please I adore the unboxing style here. Absolutely love it! And the full reviews!

Great review and its a great figure im psyched for them to come in.

I have to say... This is how Optimus was always supposed to be. :)

Banger of a figure! My toy version just touched down in LA. Not sure if I'll be able to resist opening it. I'll be seeing Peter Cullen next weekend and debating having this or a poster I got from Geoff Senior signed. Of all the 1st world problems, that one may take the biscuit!

Loved your review i cant wait for the old color way one thats what i ordered i really hope we see more g1 toys remastered like this especially megatron

Awesome review Sixo! Thanks for your excellent camera work and gushing opinion on this long awaited collectible. Can't wait for mine to arrive.

Excellent work. Love this first impression style video. Great to hear the pure joy.

Beautiful. And this time he’s holding the rifle from the correct handle, unlike the G1 which never looked good.

Excellent review!

I’ll add to the chorus, superb review @SixoTF 😊 one thing I enjoyed here with this style was that your enthusiasm really bursts through. I have this ordered and hoped to not watch any reviews before I had it, partly because I didn’t want my enthusiasm to be impeded. However, because you were so joyful I found myself grinning like a buffoon and my anticipation has only grown such that now I can’t wait for my own C-02 to arrive. Cheers again. TTFN.

Damn !!! Now im waiting for your review on the toy colors version. Great video as always :D

Awesome review dude!

Great review as always. Am I the only one who would have preferred had they used the cartoon accurate head from the Device Label retool years ago?

Great video. I can't wait for mine to arrive..

I had an actual dream about such a figure years ago, but it was in Diaclone blue, man would that be a grail

Beautiful. Gotta try to my own one as well.

I could see soundwave being any easy choice for them to do next

I was mildly worried that the legs would look really weird because the thighs are so thin while the torso is so big and bulbous, but they actually turned out pretty good!

Ok, now that is cool! I NEED this!

Wow! This is gorgeous! 😮

I have been very impatiently waiting for mine and this video just made that wait so much harder! It's a fantastic toy and I really enjoyed the review. Your excitement really came through!

Great review! Looking forward to the longer review as well!

All we need is updated Megatron and it’s on!!

It's a beautiful toy. I got the toy colour version for maximum nostalgia. I was a tiny bit disappointed that the spring-loaded launcher for Roller in the trailer is absent.
