Thanks Again!!! - บันเทิง
I do love that he has a weapon from almost every major incarnation of Prime... he has the Matrix Sword from the comics, the throwing axes from TFAnimated, the G1-esque blaster, the giant battle axe like the one in the opening cutscene of War for Cybetron, and the Bayformers blades. Whoever made this figure clearly did their homework.
Even though it's not a weapon, the jetpack has some IDW vibes
I think Flame Toys completely outdid themselves with this one. It’s absolutely fantastic in every way possible. That’s obviously just my opinion but this Prime is one hell of a figure!
Those two smaller axes are an amazing throwback to Animated. I absolutely love it.
I got mine the other day and I'm in awe. It's gorgeous. The big axe is pretty much the best weapon any robot has ever had. You have design cues from G1, IDW, WFC/FoC, Animated, Bayverse, it's all here. Some of the joints are a bit too tight in the upper half, and the backpack on mine has the pegs ever so slightly misaligned that makes putting it on a royal pain, but like, that's it. Nitpicks.
They're next release in this line is confirmed to be Stealth Bomber Megatron and I couldn't be happier as it's one of my favorite character designs ever. Very much looking forward to it. Flame Toys has proven to officially be the Soul of Chogokin of Transformers bar none. Threezero is up there but not quite at this level, which is fine, I think they both do amazingly in what they each specialize in.
Thought Hot Rod was next. Hope to see some color shots of that Megatron soon.
Optimus-Claude Van Damme LOL!
Basically animated optimus axes...
Ikeh ikeh ikeh
It looks so good, nice review
I missed the D4 preorder to get the big ass jet axe.
The giant battle Axe is only available if you preordered from official flame toys partner eshops. I love prime, i would have loved a G1 version more though. Now seeing the new modelkit, maybe we ll even get one. I will hope for a kuro kara kuri runabout and runamuck for you man 😉
the poses at the end are some of the best shots you have taken. and that says a lot about the product too
This figure is well worth the price tag :) thx for the review
Great review like always Bobby. 👍🏽 silver and gold 🎄😄
Cyber Factory, a new, unofficial company, is making a transforming version of this figure.
What a killer release. If I had the budget for this boy I'd have to get him. Love the display options.
Would have loved this as the IDW Prime. Same thing with Megatron, I would have preferred MTMTE Autobot Megatron.
One of the crazy bits Bobby missed was how the torso also has some side to side bend in the ab crunch, and when you use them the tires inside the chest pop out a bit to fill any gaps. It's kind of nuts.
This kind of build, detail, pistons and moving parts to make the robot realistic, and the way it looks is what I wanted for the MP line. Add a transformation factor and this blows the current cartoony ones we get nowadays out of the water.
Awesome figure I’m pissed it’s over $400 bucks
Amazing piece, I was all in for him until the 3a dlx Bumblebee version came in at $189... They are both insanely 👍!
FLAMES TOYS!? Time to get them kneepads out lol. Good as always my dude.
This prime’s weapons are a combination of different weapons from other version of prime. Animated axe and baybot energon blades for example.
Good lord that's a thing of beauty. I have both Drifts and Star Sabre. Cant find Tarn. I kinda agree on this particular interpretation of prime. Not my cup of tea.If they do the G1 version (not the model), I'm all in
Subscribe to Ebay search results they pop up every now and then and go for about retail to my knowledge. He's still my 2nd fav of theirs under Optimus.
@@RobbieHaydtLMAO I'll give it another go. A few months back I saw tarn on ebay for $899. NO JOKE. Hopefully theres a reissue in the works.
Joseph Monroy check TFSource and BigBadToyStore. They recently finally restocked and are rereleasing Tarn for May.
Those eBay scalper prices are insane.
@@winterwolf2164 wow. AWESOME! Thank you!
I want him so much. It's gorgeous.
Thanks for the review. I would have loved to get this figure but the price was out of my range. If it was $100 less I probably would have pre-ordered. Now if they do a good size Grimlock, that will be a completely different story.
I've been trying to find an excuse like "I rather my TF figures to actually transform", so I'm able to resist this very expensive line from this very good company but the truth is these figures are some of the best high end action figures out there. The price point is a bit to high for me to buy them all so I have to wait until there is one that makes me fall in love to a point I wont mind paying what they are asking. Thanks for the review Mr. Skullface, even though reviews like this my push me to my financial ruin.
Awesome review. The hands are important & love the oversized anime vibe....a shame when hands are to small....damn I skipped Star Saber but this is amazing!
I really wish I could afford this. I adore the design, and it'd look great next to my Flame Toys Starscream. But that price point of about £350-£400 is just too much. I wish there was a more affordable alternative version, like one without the complex light gimmicks, and such, that'd work for me.
This is much bigger than Starscream...
A g1 Optimus Prime without a face Truck yeah
I can get a metal build MG Gundam from Bandai for half the price.
God damnit when I first saw this I made myself hate it and not want it. I've seen this video and just some pictures and now I want it...
Dayum that is one wicked figure! What design is this based on?
I love seeing figures that are so well engineered and designed that it makes me want to meet the artists
I love everything about this Optimus except the torso.
I love this design and I did try to compare this to ThreeA Bumblebee Prime but I cant. Of course ThreeA is taller and the price point is fantastic but everyone is hopping on that mold while Flame Toys is a one off with jetpower apex upgrades coming. Been waiting a while for an english review. I know Skullface wont dissapoint. 100 as always.
Having the Drift and the Star Saber my greatest concern has to be the tolerances. My Drift’s tolerances are already getting softer with minimal posing. I’ve now resorted to a stand instead of letting the figure stand/pose on its own. So my expectations have deflated a bit for this line. Might not even do the Victory Leo at this point.
I actually hope that they do a shattered glass variant to go with the Drift. An extra weapon would be nice, just don't know what it would be. The GT IDW Prime is pretty good for me.
My heart says yes but my mind says no
I say yes but my wallet says no.
SILVER AND GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊
😧 $450. ...that's a 💰...👀😀 WHO AM I KIDDING I'm not buying a barge or a Unicron... Yeah I'm in on this...lol...
Seems that on. My prime his shoulder. Joint, or the one under his armpit is so tight I can't move it.. Or I'm too scared to move. Secondary shoulder joint moves still tight though.. So I can't get full elevation due to that insane tight joint. What can I do 😭😭
bruh, can you review 3a bumblebee prime? please.....
Of course you like this figure. It has a sword that can go from no-crossguard to crossguard and you love Kylo Ren
The price ....it this was like a 200-250 dollar figure, I would get it in a heartbeat
Waitaminute....its more than 250??
Jules Verde yea...$450
@@stryderlao bwaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA people actually dropping $400 for this thing?!? It's dope but not THAT dope
@@CouchCit I bought 2 :)
@@en41wl i need your job because mines is being stingy with my allowance lol
Do u plan to do a review on the aoyi mech sai star commander ?
No question that the fit & finish are second to none but I just don't think the sculpt works for Prime. Small body and big thighs are almost the complete opposite of how he usually is.
kek23k I’m in the same boat. Had it been the idw styles prime they did for their model kit (the one g creations also did) I would have bought it
Ikr. They tried to go for an 'animeish' look which doesn't work for me. I wish some company makes an IDW prime with engineering and quality at par with this prime.
Bobby Skullface if they did this prime in the idw model kit style, I would have been tempted to buy it too. As it is, great figure, cool design, just doesn’t resonate well with me.
The price they are asking for this figure is way too much. At that point I might as well get ThreeA/Zero
Wait for toyworld optimus prime the Last knight Version.. U Will fall i love with that figure
This company is putting out some amazing bots
Poses definitely look cool. But honestly, I could not be happy owning one of these. The better it looks and moves, the more I would be disappointed knowing it actually does not transform. Do you think it's possible to have knees like that etc., on a Transforming figure? Would you say that's close to what we have with mp44?
Superb finish as usual, but I don't like a lot of the design. The legs look far too chunky for the upper body and the padded out robo crotch is just silly.
japanese super robots style
👍Yo Bobby👍 I really like(195) this thing man. I may get it. (I hav no idea 💰 this is = WAIT 4 THE REACTION)
Dude, their Drift still has more moving parts and has a more intricate design. Flame Toys is simplifying ingeneering but keeping the high prices.
Take into account parts count and lights.
Amazing! I'm a G1 diehard, but this is a must have! Great review Bobby.
Flame Toys IDW Optimus Prime Kuro Kara Kuri 04 > MP-44 Convoy/Optimus Prime.
Edit: Same price of $450 by the way. Which one is worth $450 to you?

Stealer review but something that would make it even better a skit. Just say,keep up the great reviews.
So i have a question.. I love these figures from flame toys, but i still do not own one yet because of the price point, but i will. I see bobby in these reviews being very careful with the figure, as he should because its very expensive. but there in is my question.. because of the expense of these figures and the fear of damage, does it make the experience of handling the figure not so much fun? I handle my masterpiece figures constantly, posing them around and such but i almost feel like i would pose this guy one time and never want to touch him again. Am i off base with that?
I have Star Saber and Drift and I handle them regularly to change their poses. One of course has to be careful to not scratch the paint or break small parts like antennas but I don't find them frustrating to handle, the joints move in a natural way and you don't feel like you are going to break them.
My gawd...
ooooo, purdy
Dude! You skipped the transformation. Lol
Its small.. My faverout figure is at least 28 cm High.. So i pass bye bye
I just don't feel these or this company at all. An easy pass (again) for me.
The catch is it doesn’t transform haha
Nope, and I love that. That gimmick hasn't been done well in ages
Beautiful , small, overpriced , fun, fairly poseable , feels great. This is a mixed bag.
But threezero is killing them in almost every way. Just don’t see the value here.
well, I bought 2 :) it is worth the price tag.
Not fairly posable, VERY posable. I had the same exact thoughts until I went in on my first one (Tarn). When you get it in hand, you just get it. The build quality, paint quality, parts count is all above the level of ThreeZero, at least in my opinion.
That being said, their Bumblebee Optimus Prime is a steal at $190. And if Flame Toys ever does go beyond the $400 pricetag, I gotta say I'm out. I paid $400 for my Optimus with the big axe, and it's the most I'd pay for their stuff.
I hate how the hips are so big and stomach so small, almost make him look like a fem bot.
Great design and all, but Optimus prime is not Optimus prime if he can't transform...
Too bad..
for 500 dollar you could get 2 x Threezero BUMBLEBEE DLX movie Optimus Prime lol This thing is just lame for that price lol
