This figure has been with me for 13 years. Still love it compared to WTH that studio series figure is. They couldn't even get his backpack right on the 3 Bayverse studio series figures!
It'd be cool if Takara Tomy did a chrome metallic silver version of the Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Megatron, maybe even update the arms a bit to make them more accurate to the design in the movie (even though I never had any major problems with the arms of the ROTF Leader Class Megatron figure Hasbro made and the metallic white on that figure looked really nice ⚪️).
i still have this, the repackage dark of the moon version with jetfire from takara. i remember choosing that version because of the face mask. sad thing is the chorme part under the foot 😢
this prime is the best optimus prime toy ever, better than g1, mp, unicron trilogy, animated, prime..., absolutely best(from licenced by hasbro or takara)
@@shinwave just wanna ask something about the first and second ones condition. Is there any loose ratchet joint or cracked windshield or broken parts or loose joints?
I feel like it would have been easier if I had just bought this sooner. But oh well, at least I bought the hand and gas tank upgrade kits for my Old Leader Prime. I could try to paint the rest...
@@shinwave oh, bug not feature. I was questioning it for a moment. Also that “Symbol” on the step is actually a pull handle for a storage compartment. Yes, they actually sculpted it in
@@shinwave I just ordered the Buster Prime. Was only $65. My Aunt said it won't arrive until August, but my laptop says it will arrive on June 18th. Hope the computer is right. Lol
This „thing“ is GARBAGE. I was so excited for this. Only to realize that i paid a 150 dollars for PLASTIC THAT IS WORSE THAT A 99CT KNOCKOFF. TAKARA CHEAPED OUT SO BAD. AND I HATE EM.
Tbf i had the same kinda thoughts when i had the figure for so long as the days went by. Yes, about the plastict thing, the japanese or rather takara release for rotf figures seems to have a diff type of plastict quality. I respect your take for this figure in particular. Yes... in the end we are paying for a repaint rotf leader prime. But im all for the buster gun and the unmask face. I never regret my purchase as long as im satisfied with the figure itself

And the good ol'days when Transformation engineering is way better than nowadays movie toys
Like AOE Optimus prime is just terrible junk on the back, TLK Optimus has too many kibble
@@shinwave yeah becuz Too many parents complaining this figure's Transformation is too complex
Tbh the Transformation is so easy
@@shinwave i know, but over time, they'll enjoy the Transformation
This is the only toy people ever bring up when they talk about the "good old days" of engineering.
This figure has been with me for 13 years. Still love it compared to WTH that studio series figure is. They couldn't even get his backpack right on the 3 Bayverse studio series figures!
Not only the backpack, they also got wrong the legs, wheels and pipes..
Still have this amazing figure in the shelf in good condition after all these years.
You're definitely kept it well and indeed this figure is still well aged
Hands down still the best movie Optimus Prime toy ever. I wouldn't even bother with the flawed MPM-4, this is where the gold truly lies at.
Man i love buster optimus prime

29:50 "panel lining"
Hmmm looks like Takara have learnt how to scribing on a gas tanks
i love this review its awesome af bro! keep up the good work homie!
Thanks for the kind words, bro😃
I have bought this figure and am now waiting for it to arrive which will take about a month. I am so excited I love this figure!
Oohh Nice👍🏻 Which website you went to find this figure?
How much did it cost?
I bought it at aliexpress for like 45 dollars.
i still have this, the repackage dark of the moon version with jetfire from takara. i remember choosing that version because of the face mask. sad thing is the chorme part under the foot 😢
Yeah cuz aging right, nothing you can really do with old chrome
He color is so damn good
Indeed 🙂↕️
this prime is the best optimus prime toy ever, better than g1, mp, unicron trilogy, animated, prime..., absolutely best(from licenced by hasbro or takara)
had this as a kid, broke it, my dad bought , me another, my brother broke it, now its expensive as hell
Idk why but after watching this video, i want to buy a ROTF leader Optimus prime mold.
@@shinwave just wanna ask something about the first and second ones condition. Is there any loose ratchet joint or cracked windshield or broken parts or loose joints?
@@shinwave ahh thank you and except for the gas tanks connector that snipped off lol
@@shinwave just buy a junk on online store to replace the connector
And it is like only 7-8 dollar tho
But don't buy that mold that don't have that connector
Such as the original leader class Optimus prime
Awesome review
I feel like it would have been easier if I had just bought this sooner.
But oh well, at least I bought the hand and gas tank upgrade kits for my Old Leader Prime. I could try to paint the rest...
You deserve 1k
👍
Woah!
God I wish I had this figure
Find him if you still can!✨✨
Mantap
I still preffer him over mpm 04 what i also have
Why is the front grill gold?
Its actually yellow-ing due to the ages of the figure being that old since it was released
@@shinwave oh, bug not feature. I was questioning it for a moment. Also that “Symbol” on the step is actually a pull handle for a storage compartment. Yes, they actually sculpted it in
@@jdpragmatic8644 Oh i see, thnx for the info
Is this the same from the combo pack with Jetfire? And is it transformable there?
Nope that one has the face plate on. This one is a single release
Does the chrome under his feet scratch off easily?
Only if you place him on a rough surface. Plus, mine is loose so yeh that's the condition that i left off with.
@@shinwave gotcha👍
I had this toy growing up - but its not better than the MPM - nevertheless the best OP figure is by Black Apple
I respect your opinion!
I don’t get why they did his eyes green instead of blue
I know right? Takara could've easily apply a blue led for this guy but ig its the budget perhaps
Question. Do you know about the KO?
@@shinwave Do you ever plan on getting that? It's only $80 on Ebay and I heard that it's nearly if not exactly the same as the original QC wise.
@@shinwave I just ordered the Buster Prime. Was only $65. My Aunt said it won't arrive until August, but my laptop says it will arrive on June 18th. Hope the computer is right. Lol
How to tell if it's the original or the k.o ver.
Thanks for the info😀
dude this version of optimus is peterbilt truck
Yes it is😅

I have the same figure but I customized check it out on my channel

@@shinwave I would‘nt rage so much! HAD THE BACKPLATE NOT SNAPPED CLEAN OFF….
@@EvexiansVideoworks Are you sure you bought the original one?
@@EvexiansVideoworks Like have you go through any comparisons video of the og between ko
@@shinwave That wasn‘t a KO. It came in an OG box.
