My Energon Optimus review was nearly 10 years ago. I'm old. I think the yr of the snake colors work well for this set. Feels more like a transformer than a power rangers set.

Proportions? On energon prime? good luck

if megatron wants to kill this optimus, tecnically we could call him... a mass murder?

Energon Optimus was my first Optimus figure I got. I loved that show. Energon and Cybertron were my childhood transformers shows. I have the OG one.

this guy is wonderful in his garbageness, honestly, everything is its own punchline and it’s glorious. each mode makes concessions for the others, and the end result is nothing is quite as it should be, it’s beautiful

I've still got this guy from when Energon came out. I've had a lot of fun with it and he has taken wear and tear, but he still holds up quite well. I miss the UT figures, they're way more sturdy and strong than the modern figures (my Earthrise Soundwave's Ravage lost his leg and now his gun snapped in half less than 6 or so months after getting it).

Another thing to note is that this figure is better when you have Energon Wingsaber on hand. You can split Wingsaber into arms and legs that attach to Energon Optimus Prime and believe me, it makes this figure even a lot better by giving him arm and leg articulation and guns to shoot missiles out of.

Still have my old Energon Optimus that my grandma got me when I was around 9 or 10. Miss those days lol. If you missed out on this guy back in the day and you want a filler for your prime shelf, I'd say get this guy!

One day I want to see Energon Optimus with Wingsaber's attachments, but with the sections of Wingsaber on both areas. As in, the top half of Wingsaber as both the arms and legs then the bottom half as well, sounds like it would be more cohesive.

Fatimus Prime, oh how I love it

Can't believe Optimus let himself go like this...

The Energon Optimus mold would make a decent mold for a Cybertron Trailbreaker or Hoist.

You know if you buy Energon Wing Saber he becomes limbs that not only have a matching color scheme to Prime, but also fixes a lot of the problems he has as well such as giving him better stability, better articulation, and more playability with more missiles to shoot. Plus there's Energon Omega Supreme who does the exact same thing.

The helmet is designed to lay flat backwards in vehicle mode. It fits in the space between his arms. Suppose to be a radar.

i really really Love This Optimus Prime Design, i hope they do a leader class figure in the Legacy Line

I got the original one as a kid and took it to school for show and tell and Id like to think I was the coolest kid in class that day.

That Toy Guy : Have a listen. *RATCHET JOINT ASMR* Me : ah yesss

I want to personally slap the guy who made the drill vehicle a foot. Like, bro. Drill punch. It's the easiest play feature to include.

Hey that toy guy you should review bs-02 skybreaker

I think part of my attachment to energon prime is that he was not only my first prime, but I remember my dad showing me "Prime Time 2" as a kid and I just couldn't get enough of it.

I feel like the colors on this version would look amazing for the Wing Saber combinations

This prime isn't TOO too bad... once it's combined, in fact Energon had a MUCH WORSE Prime figure... Let's not forget the DELUXE Class which could split apart in order to POWERLINX with other deluxe class figures. That figure tosses proportions out the window in both normal bot mode and powerlinx mode.

More like Pregomus Prime. Ratchet: "Congratulations, it's a matrix!"

Really looking forward to the fanshobby. Even though it’s just a prototype, it looks fantastic.

This toy is a solid example of vibes outweighing it’s actual design. It just… feels fun, it just looks silly as hell.

Lmao I died when I heard the Energon music. Definitely brings back memories

This guy's year of the snake remold came in 2013, 10 years after OG release. I still hope they will remold Energon Landmine into Decepticon Obliterator Clench

A legacy commander of this gut would be pretty cool

Excited for this one… I’ll be waiting!

1:17 Oh sweet Tahu is here!

Makes you appreciate the Combiner Wars figures

Unicron Trilogy was my intro to transformers as a kid. Unfirtunately, I wasn't able to get many of the toys at all but I did watch the cartoon a good bit. Really wish they remade more of these figures more often.

I loved the strange designs of the unicron trilogy, unfortunately I couldn't get naval commander since it's too much, but I'm hoping to get the generations armada prime if the rumors are true...

Truck mode has a nice hat!

Man I had a Megazord Prime when I was a kid, loved that he was a cab-over but yeah, the proportions bugged me even back then. I think the original colors for the drones were a little brighter, and the sub was blue.

Why does this Optimus look like he came out of a Robot Warrior box from Walmart

Optimus looking thicc 😂😂😂

I love this prime thooo

I had the original version of Energon Optimus Prime as a kid. I freaking loved that toy.

3:13 The Truck has a little hat lol

The energon Optimus is one of the figures where it’s so bad he good. Kinda sums up most of the energon figures mainly the autobots. I might get this guy just for the holy mess he is

Personally, I always liked the different proportions Energon Prime has.

Dadbodimus Prime!?! hoenstly i feel like the original G1 designs often had some of the wonkiest figures. I mean Ironhide didn't have a head! lol. I wish we got as much quality control these days as we did with the previous.

Big boy! Big boy! I still have this toy though unfortunately I’m missing a few pieces.

I think it's cute. Like a pug.

legacy should give this guy an upgrade

Fun fact: the Japanese name for energon optimus is *grand* convoy

Wow that's amazing

Energon was the series I grew up on so I have a soft spot for the more strange designs that came from it.

4:07, Fun Fact: Takara Tomy made toys of robots in the 90's from 1990 - 1997 called the Brave Series and they have certain aspects seen in Toku, Power Rangers and other mecha animes so calling these PR Toys ain't far off since the Brave toys function the same way especially the combiners. What's also cool is that Gaogaigar - the best of the Brave series by many (and you should go check it out), has elements of Ultraman sprinkled onto it, even the finale of the TV series borrowing heavily from the Ultra7 finale.

Optimus Prime needs to lay off the energon donuts!

I actually have all three og Megatrons and optimus primes from the unicron trilogy and i can thank my uncle for that

Imagine an update of energon prime in legacy or generations prime where prime and his drones are compatible with combiner wars figures

Oh, you better be making a video on that Mindwipe figure. He's probably one of the best transformer figures EVER imo. And get Skystalker if you can, they look great together.

I just saw the Superlink (japanese) version and the coloration on it's belly makes the optical illusion of a thinner body.

Helicopter can tidy up a bit more. The fist can pivot out of the way and the flap can then fold back and tuck away like fire1.

the ultimate power core combiner figure. if they actually did power core bigger and without the auto transformation of the lims it would have been incredible

I can say that he is like beast hunters Optimus but an updated design and combiner wars too

Wow, I don't remember energon Prime looking this bad when I had him as a kid 😂

I actually like energon prime, one of my favorites

Still wished I had the Year of the Snake Optimus Prime.

0:55 same

Megatron: Time to die Optimu.....DAM Prime you gained a few pounds!

Well we know where all the energon went. What an absolute unit. Chonktimus Prime?

It's Sigward prime! Leader of the onionbots.

It Doesn’t just do peekaboo prime it also does super peekaboo prime

My cousin had one and I thought the combining part is so cool

Is it a coincidence that energon prime was also one of the first videos I saw from baltmatrix

This is one of those figures, that's so bad, it's good.

Mmmm like the intro

Add the brick that was Energon Wing Saber and the combined proportions are actually decent. Better than the drone limbs even.

I like this mold

This figure does look amazing when combined with Wingsaber.

He actually did say “submarine 4 combine” the first time he went into this form.

He looks like a repaint of Truckulese from the Venture Brothers.

He looks reallyc good on his combined form/Megazord form. Its the truck mode and the normal robot mode that are bad.

Ah yes, dad bod Prime

Mold degradation is definitely causing his limbs to flop around. He was way more solid in his og 2004 run

Big Chungus Prime

OH MY LORD!!! What is that monstrosity!!!!?!?!??

4:18 The submarine has a clamp which is the super mode hand.

Eyyyg its the year of the snake version

I really want to see this base prime with the wing saber parts on him

I got the original version at a flea market years ago fir like $12 USD (in the old world pre 2019) incomplete because it's missing the radar on the trailer the gun the missile the cockpit for driller 3 the combined mode hat his moobs but overall I love it but the year I'd the snake version doesn't have the OP 1 2 3 4 on the limbs but keeping the lights & sounds in would've been better so the fans that did get it can experience what functions it had Edit: fire 1 does have 2 water cannons above the cab that can swivel side to side

grew up with the original, it looks goofy but it means a lot to me

Nooooooo, brings back memories, used to have the Is exact version of him but let go of him:(

hope u look at more unicron trilogy figures, like cybertron optimus prime

Bloobymus Prime

I lost many pieces to many TF toys, buy this is probably the one where I have almost no dangly bits left…

My parents managed to get me all 3 Optimus versions throughout the trilogy, no matter how often I asked for Megatron or Starscream. Armada prime: Good vehicle, good bot, eh super mode, and the combos were fun but stiff. Energon prime: Eh vehicle, eh bot, good super mode, combos were hit or miss. Cybertron prime: All of my yes.

Ballooniemus Prime

It’s strange that I got this video on my fyp

Optimis put on a bit of weight

OG

I KNOW THIS SONG ITS IN DANKPODS VIDEOS I’ve never heard that song anywhere else I love It

I really want a Energon Prime figure

Hunt down Energon Wing Saber for the BEST combined mode.

No matter _what_ this thing does, it is *nothing* compared to Energon as a show.

This Optimus Prime can Powerlinx with Hot Shot, Prowl, and the others as well. It does look kind of wonky, but just to put that out there.

Dam he thick
