Y'know, they could just heavily retool the current Legacy Bulkhead into TFA Bulky. Hes already almost there. Hes already a great representation of Bulkhead from both TFA & TFP. So..ya. All they have to do is retool the chest, give him a new head, new deco, & maybe a little bit more retooling. & done.
I miss when collab figures were original characters and not just Optimus Prime with different clothes. Like, the BTTF x Transformers collab wasn't Optimus Prime as a DeLorean, and the Ghostbusters x Transformers collab wasn't Optimus as a hearse...It just gets kinda tiring seeing the same dude over and over and over again, y'know? Like sure, I get that he's basically the poster child, but come ooooonnn,,,
I have a copy and though a bit more color seperation could be added and it has no weapons, its great. This is the quality I look for in transformers similar to the red volvo. If it was 65 I would get 2. 75 is pricey but with 2 licenses as mentioned by you, I understand. As a Prime fan, I wouldn't miss out on this unique version.
I really like this mold. A retool of this mold would work really well for an Earth mode (which she didn't have in comic) of Proxima from the 2005 IDW Continuity.
As a massive space nerd (I learned how to count backwards from ten before I learned how to count up) I've been debating picking this guy up ever since it was revealed, but wanted to wait until reviews came in. Glad to hear it feels as good as it looks! Side note, Takare can go fuck itself for making the version of this figure with the stand cost 210 dollars. With that money you could buy almost three copies of the regular figure. That's MP-44 levels of overpriced bullshit.
Imagine hasbro has a retool planned for this already cause they try to maximize their molds. Like what if this was used as the base for a beast hunters prime and they redid the back kibble to create wings.
@@Alzeal07 No, hes probably the best...at least for now. SS38 & the Bayverse ones are pretty good, but SS102 is just overall better. (don't have any of them, tho). SS86 Optimus will probably be another good SS Optimus. I'm fully expecting him to be better than KingRise Optimus, but not _THAT_ drastically. KingRise Optimus is already _SOO_ close to perfect that it'd probably be really hard to improve upon _THAT_ much. SS86 Optimus _WILL_ be better, but not _THAT_ drastically.
It would be awesome. A derparture from the well known designs but hell yeah, a big hulking prime that turns into a battering ram on wheels, maybe even threads instead of wheels, full on armored car
ive been following lunar cruiser prime for months now, i can't wait until i get him, it's just so cool to me that he's a freaking space vehicle that's toyota branded.
I feel like this would have interested me more had this been an original character instead of shoe horning Optimus Prime in. On its own it did look like a cool toy (and your video confirms).
Does the silver thing on the back of the vehicle mode actually serve a purpose, or is it just there because it’s on the original concept? As for it being another Optimus, personally, I would’ve made it a different bot so that the red and blues don’t stand out against the vehicle kibble, like maybe Prowl or Ultra Magnus or something.
If 75 looks high for this, his version with the stand is over 200 on BBTS and, as far as I know, only has the stand, no other special features for the figure. I have my “basic” on preorder on BBTS.
It's a shame every tie-in has to be either Optimus or one of a tiny handful of '84 characters, because this would have made a pretty decent Countdown too-rover altmode, satellite dish kibble, bits kind of resembling his forearm guns... change the head and some of the more Optimus-y details, swap out the blue for red, and you're set.
While the figure itself is nice, it would be much nicer if this figure comes with his iconic ion blaster to protect himself. Otherwise, I would get this figure on discount. Nice review btw!
I just went to my local toyshop last week and they just had him there, along with Missing Link Convoy, on the "New Arrivals" table as soon as I walked in.
Not gonna lie, it looks fantastic but I still wish it was Soundwave as the bot mode. Just swap the head with a Soundwave head and color the red parts blue.
This does look cool as hell and fun, but it's a missed opportunity to not make it Ratchet! The white wouldn't clash with the bot mode parts, and this alt mode would suit the character very well.
I hope they do some more space vehicle Transformers, so we can round this out with a nice little team NASA's allowed Hasbro to use some branding in Earthrise, it'd be so cool to get a Space Shuttle Starscream or something, If they keep it Japanese, there's plenty of options too. The MMX Mars probe is launching in 2026, get on it Takara and JAXA! I could see that as a Megatron--and the Akatsuki probe (Venus) is gold-coloured, great opportunity for a Goldbug!
Cool Optimus Prime. Nothing else to say, really. Hes cool. I like his botmode. His rovermode is cool, too. The altmode works really well, tbh. Probabaly not gonna get him, but still, I like him. Also..........Astroptimus Prime...or Cosmoptimus Prime.......or just...Space Optimus Prime...
This is a cool one off design for Optimus Prime. Chest transformation definitely borrows from the Legacy Laser Prime. I can totally see this being retooled into an Animated Bulkhead if licensing isn't an issue.
@@Crimson_Crow88 not even just that, the moment i saw the thumbnail i thought "Man, that torso style and alt mode looks really similar to bulkhead" and the transformation aint to far off either
I would get this if it wasn’t Optimus Prime. I know that sounds dumb because it is. But I wish this alt mode was used on someone else, like Cosmos or Countdown.
This is where the moon paint deco from the voyager HFTD DOTM prime should have gone. Probably just without the moon and just the stars, the moon reflection while on the moon would be 😐
You're lucky you only paid $75 for him at the con, he's $90 on TFSource. Then again, they're kinda known for selling things that are a little more expensive than other places.
I really wish this was a different character like Comettor. I'm sick & tired of everything always having to be Optimus Prime or Bumblebee. I really want this vehicle mode but I don't want it to be Optimus. The vehicle is white so Ultra Magnus, Commettor or Ratchet would have made a lot more sense.
I understand why, but I don't like that this is forced to be Optimus Prime and not a new unique character. It is nice that the Back to the Future car and the Ghostbusters car were not forced to be established characters.
TTG: we landed a man on the moon! Me: (glasses have a Anime lense flare, casually push up glasses) ah you have made one mistake! You are Canadian, not American!🤣
I’ll go for the megatron gijoe tank before this because the price of this is way too much, this price is like what a masterpiece costs and I’m pretty sure it’s not that good 😂
If only Optimus prime has this in the dark of the moon
Maybe it was a concept for the toys?
Man I wish this was in the movie
@@blueraccoon1088let’s be real here
It would have looked awesome in Dark of the Moon when he went with Ratchet to find Sentinel Prime
Why do I keep torturing myself with this hobby god I want this so badly
Fancy seeing you here!
Same bro…
Same
He looks like G1 prime wearing an upgrade kit. He's such a vibe
Skylinx: Need a ride to the Moon?
Prime: Nah, I'm good.
He should be asking Galaxy Shuttle for that😂
I genuinely thought this was gonna be commander size when we saw the first pictures. I was shocked when I saw actual size comparisons with this boi 😅
1:12 This can be [extensively] retooled into an Animated Universe Bulkhead!
They just gotta mirror the pipes so they're on both arms, don't know if they'd be able to bulk his body out while still fitting inside his vehicle mode.
Unless they change the backpack into his gut or something
@@saygoodbye-sfm Via extensive retooling and reshelling it. Remember, Studio Series TF5 Drift? Hasbro inverted its transformation. So they can alter it’ll have shorter lags and a bulkier body.
Or maybe it can be a partial with shared engineering. (aka mostly a new mold with borrowed parts and similar transformation)
hes not fat enough ngl

7:07 I love that you used the instrumental of "Free Me" for the posing showcase, very bombastic!
As a Toyota and Transformers fan seeing Optimus with the Toyota logo on his chest is amazing. And I really like this design overall! :) 🤍
So many poses for this prime
I guess you could he has a galaxy of possibilities
You know your way to the door. 😂
TFW Optimus was on the moon using his Lunar Rover at DOTM
this would make a perfect universe onslaught with some minor remolding, hell, a repaint would be pretty dang close

Also, Jurassic Park!
I would love to see this repainted to being bulk head
Animated Bulkhead pretool?
Mixing my 2 favorite things. Transformers and Space. This is an instant get for me, and I'm so glad he turned out to be a good figure aswell.

I just wish this wasn't Optimus
I'm surprised it's not just Roller
Yeah like why??
pretend it’s lunar convoy looool
Imagine hasbro has a retool planned for this already cause they try to maximize their molds. Like what if this was used as the base for a beast hunters prime and they redid the back kibble to create wings.
Favorite part of dark of the moon is them landing on the moon and finding the ark, that was sick
I too came back from TFCon LA with both a Lunar Prime and a Cold…
This would make for a great repaint for Soundwave
Dude I absolutely love this toy, I can't stand that it's an Optimus Prime.
Just was commenting similarly
How much you wanna bet this is gonna be on the end of the year list
This would be a dope Soundwave figure
I honestly forgot that this thing was even a thing because it's been so long since this thing was announced. Looks neat though.
now do oceangate megatron
No, Decepticon Imploder! And with Battlemaster Lowtech! Imploder is the sub, Lowtech is the controller.
abb crunch SHOULD be below the waist joint, that's how humans function, and it's what makes most poses so weird with the rotb Optimus
At least he transforms into a moon rover like a human normally would.
Still want SSRotB Optimus....
Hes best SS Optimus Prime ever.
@@thedeadpoolwhochuckles.6852 lmao

Great figure, and review! Thought about getting. But heard about quality control issues. How's it holding up?
For a Prime without weapons I hoped he would have more articulated fingers to make him more expressive. Still, really impressive figure.
Goddamn that lunar laddy can throw a pose and a half. Hecking WANT.
They should do one of a submarine. And have like an accessory or a minicon of like a game controller or something.
Oh my lord.
The colors and the non-lunar rover bits kind of give me Ultimate Avengers vibes, with how they’re darker and rougher.
With a good repaint in red and blue, he will look fantastic
My first thought seeing this was, this is Roller. Could have been though.
i wish/hope they do an ultra magnus colored version i think itd look better without the red
i also feel like 75 dollars isnt that much more than hasbro would charge for a lower quality version of this in the collaborative series
I would love a remould or repaint of this into some kind of cybertronian Optimus
It would be awesome. A derparture from the well known designs but hell yeah, a big hulking prime that turns into a battering ram on wheels, maybe even threads instead of wheels, full on armored car
ive been following lunar cruiser prime for months now, i can't wait until i get him, it's just so cool to me that he's a freaking space vehicle that's toyota branded.
Its a good figure, though i think it needed a tab somewhere for the leg wheel panel.
It better be good with how expensive it is
One small step for man one giant leap for Optimus prime
The Articulation music is really loud
I realized that the two things on his left arm kinda look likes two blasters...
I wonder if a legacy animated bulkhead is on the way as a remold and retool of this optimus?
I feel like this would have interested me more had this been an original character instead of shoe horning Optimus Prime in. On its own it did look like a cool toy (and your video confirms).
If it wasn't so expensive I'd already have one...
Hey man love the vids keep it up
The backpack looks like a jet pack
I plan to get two with the second one i want make this into a custom into a 2007 protoform optimus prime
I wish this were an original character like the Jurassic Park crossovers instead of just Optimus again.
That is genuinely one of the nicest non G1 Optimus Prime designs I've ever seem.
Does the silver thing on the back of the vehicle mode actually serve a purpose, or is it just there because it’s on the original concept?

I have my “basic” on preorder on BBTS.
i wish i had this figure but amazon somehow didn't have enough stock to fulfill my MONTH PRIOR pre-order
Can I just point out that there are break lights and turn signals on this lunar rover. Who's that for?
It's a shame every tie-in has to be either Optimus or one of a tiny handful of '84 characters, because this would have made a pretty decent Countdown too-rover altmode, satellite dish kibble, bits kind of resembling his forearm guns... change the head and some of the more Optimus-y details, swap out the blue for red, and you're set.

was so intrigued about this figure it looks amazing though

I think the pipe hanging off of his arm is meant to be an arm mounted gun but i'm not sure
This Figure actually looks sick! Its insane, but I don't know where to get him... But if I did get him, he's the better OP In my collection
He's available on eBay, BBTS etc...

@@Autobot-Revs I thought so too. I wasn't planning on going out of my way to import them, but since they were right in front of me I couldn't resist.
The lunar optic collector IS the weapon. It's an solar blast projector
Should’ve been called Lunar Prime
Maybe one day That Toy Guy will make a full video without any auto-focus problems. 😔
Kinda wish this was preceptor, I feel like he would fit this mould better
You should review Transart big guardian.
Do Legacy United Cybertron Starscream next
This could have been a really good Animated Bulkhead with some retooling...
They could reuse this mold to make a animated bulkhead
Gives animated ultra magnus vibes
Not gonna lie, it looks fantastic but I still wish it was Soundwave as the bot mode. Just swap the head with a Soundwave head and color the red parts blue.
This does look cool as hell and fun, but it's a missed opportunity to not make it Ratchet! The white wouldn't clash with the bot mode parts, and this alt mode would suit the character very well.
I just worry that the plastic will yellow over the years, not unless they're painted
I hope they do some more space vehicle Transformers, so we can round this out with a nice little team
NASA's allowed Hasbro to use some branding in Earthrise, it'd be so cool to get a Space Shuttle Starscream or something,
