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 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
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.
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.
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
The MP Takara version is defo. the heavy metal weight that I'm looking for compared to all the plastic Hasblo crap. Its hard to believe people take Hasbro as srsly now
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@coolerreviews6580 It was new in box. That being said, my friend has heavily customed him, removing kibble. While he does not convert, he now has a HUGE ab crunch and is a bit redeemed.
@@SoundblasterYT i suffered with my first copy of an offroad bumblebee,in two weeks one knee broke and I found out it was stressed for a while since the other one was about to give out
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)
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.
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.
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.
This figure is amazing and all but this figure does not transform well, since its an knock off its wont be as perfect as an og but its a great figure but you wont see him in a truck mode in my videos I had to make an actual toy truck of nemesis prime.
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.
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
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.
I don't know whether to thank or curse you for introducing me to the notion of buying knockoffs on Ali express. I had no idea they were that cheap, that available, and had this much quality. I know one thing, my wallet is about to be cursed :p
Totally on the same page as you on why Hasbro's figures often arent as good. Its the same situation with Lego and why fans consistently do an enormously better job on things like Star Wars vehicles. Like the designers working for lego can and often do design much better models than what gets released, but they cant release a childrens' toy that falls apart if you look at it funny.
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
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)
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.
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.
MPM 12 is actually pretty fairly priced for what you get. it's the same size and stuff as mp44 but would only get the gun and matrix which drops the price significantly when compared to mp44. Plus MPM is meant to be a more wallet friendly MP line, and in some other countries (like here in Canada) its cheaper to buy than the states.
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 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 and the KO should team up and make better figures so people can't complain about it especially with the new ones people can't understand that this franchise is for kids
Earthspark is for kids the movies haven't exactly been kid friendly with the I'm gonna kill yous the spines being ripped out eyes being pulled put of the socket spark getting ripped out stuff.
Even based purely on the time constraints I fully understand why 3rd party figures are better. Another thing is that sometimes, occasionally, in my opinion, the safety laws makes the official ones better. I don't care how accurate or posable a figure is if it draws blood. It very much might be a case of cost issues, maybe rounding the edges takes more time/effort. Yet another reason why official ones are "worse" they have to spend at least some part of the *fixed* budget on making sure the toy is safe.
Does Hasbro have more rules to follow before toys hit the market? Yes. Does Hasbro have a CEO and executives who make more in a month than most people do in a year? Also yes.
Unfortunately over the years of just standing on a shelf the leg extenders gave out and he won't stay at full height. But I did make a (not so good) video a while 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
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.
Thank you for saying this
Yeah no reason to root for a company like hasbro if their stuff is bad. If its good, its good, knock off or not
@@AmirSyahTV Agreed 💯. I just want to collect figures.
Agreed, who cares about brand loyalty? It's about who makes the best product for the buck.
Hasbro needs to up their game if they want people to support them. Spoiler alert: it won't happen anytime soon.

yes thank you
I honestly never mind the hollow parts in the back,because yes,it is extremely accurate to real life trucks,and I won this figure

The PF version of this figure is on BBTS for $54.99, and on Amazon for $63, it’s a lot better looking than the original

This thing proves that knock-off isn’t always bad. This is probably the best Nemesis prime figure I’ve ever seen.
The middle wheels are supposed to hang like that. It's very accurate to its real life counterpart.
Why wouldn’t you want the wheels to touch the ground

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