YES! so the trick is really just imagine the hands are shaking so you know which hand goes to witch hand. th-cam.com/video/_ghJVoOdwWg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=republic450
Omega Prime's designer Hisashi Yuki apparently went to a series staff meeting to personally talk to the director and ensure the combination stock footage had that detail. Man was dedicated to his design.
If you look closely at RiD Magnus' chest, next to either of the wheels you'll notice a blue block. One has two circles cut out into it (one over the other with a lighter blue square inbetween) and the other has two squares cut out og it in the exact same configuration. Now look at his weapon and you'll notice that on either it's two prongs you've got a set of circular pegs and a set of square pegs. Why yes, these are indeed meant to plug into the chest while in robot mode in order for him to hold up his weapon. If the sound works, it will even play different sounds depending which side you have it plug in to (the light blue squares are actually buttons).
But does this apply to an obscure Optimus Prime? I think they really meant G1 or more known versions. RID Prime isn’t really popular so I think that gives it room to be used.
Oh the nostalgia! These two figures were what brought me back to Transformers after G1 ended. They will always have a special place in my heart. While I think that the Omega level surprise is going to be an Animated Omega Supreme, I would for sure back a Haslab set of these guys as well. So either way if it's one or the other, I'm there assuming financing permits.
he dream would be to have access to the predecessors to Omega Prime and successors to Victory Saber the Braves, modern engineering on those would probably end up blowing transformers fans away
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer brave series products with modern engineering do exist- they're just not made by Takara-Tomy anymore (they haven't touched the brave and eldran series in a very long time)- the only downside is that most of these figures are very expensive: For example a company called Sentinel made a fully modernized Super fire dagwon kit- but fire and power dagwon are 450$ each
@@Tfbrave kinda wish that Bandai would as part of the collaboration with Takara give them access to it though then the question goes to Hasbro if they can come to the western markets and maybe go to transformers toy engineers
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer While I would love for such a thing to happen I doubt it will- besides Bandai has a really good track record with mecha/robot toy engineering which I think has Hasbro and Takara beat by a long shot- same goes for other companies.

Wow glad this video came to me after the stream I bet he's doing it to raise up the hype for the backin.....wait 4 months ago........HOLY SHIT HE GOT IT RIGHT!!!
I also wanna point out that Matt & Thew literally brought up Megatron from RID during the stream. But awesome review, Omega Prime is my favorite combiner in Transformers Lore~
So... I have this guy... got him in 2001-2002 when he was first out. Had him in my room, combined like this. My one buddy starts messing with him, saying, "Hey, when he does the moonwalk, is it like THIS???" and he starts making *beep beep beep* noises, like a truck backing up. For some reason I thought it was the funniest thing in the world at that moment.
0:11 to say that I'm jealous of your relationship with your parents is a vast understatement. I know you probably already do, but appreciate them as much as you can now. You're a very lucky dude.
You're supposed to plug the stock of Magnus' gun into the blue "armpits" on either side of his chest to help hold it up. In truck mode, you can also tab the roof ramps into the sides of the cage walls so they can stay elevated.
I don't get how he fucking missed that. That's like one of the gimmicks of the toy. Now it looks like he's just whining about something really dumb. Skill Issues I guess lmao.
You're half right. What you left out is that those posts need to plug in to those ports to activate the sound effects for that specific weapon mode. In fact each post features differently shaped slots and posts for that specifuc reason.
@@andrewrichards312 Yeah but that goes without saying, since each of the three weapon configurations can only be pegged in one way each. And then Omega Prime also gets more sound effects when it’s plugged in to his…”shoulders.”
@@raydenlord I disagree. It goes without saying when you're mindful of the sound gimmick in the first place. If someone isn't, then they probably haven't tried to manually trigger each of the combos and discover that. I say that because TGG strikes me as falling into that category.

With the rule that no Optimus can be a Haslab, I am very doubtful. But maybe one way to get around this could also be that they release a mainline RID 2001 OP in retails and then do Ultra Magnus as a potential crowdfunding project. Also very doubtful but it’d be cool
I feel as though considering that Tidal Wave is next year’s Titan and he can combine with Megatron in a weird way, what I feel they’ll do is that they’ll release Fire Convoy as a commander in 2026 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of RiD2001 and release Magnus as a Leader Class; not a commander
In my opinion, THIS is what the Siege Magnus mold should have been used for. He literally transforms like a fusion of Rid UM and Optimus Prime's supermode. (Bits attack at more or less the same place too)
That's what I loved about old RID, Chrome. There's so many neat accents here. I had these two and Megatron, and scourge. Even Scourges whole trailer was chrome.
this would be a great haslab. I'm still thinking a couple others like devastator are more likely, but i wouldn't be upset if this was it. (i also thought Gigatron was a good possibility)
RiD was my intro to the franchise, I actually just recently picked up pretty much all the figures from the show I missed out on as a kid, not super expensive mib on ebay. The autobot brothers are a major highlight.
I have wanted an updated version of these for the longest time. I keep hoping a third-party will do an MP scale of both of them (maybe Fans Hobby with their tendency to go for various toy generation Primes).
Man! I wish modern Weaponizers acted a bit more like RiD Magnus. I love the gimmick as it is now, but I would love it so much more if we could do more Super-Robo-style combinations with them!
Bro says "Forget about it" when talking about the combined articulation and proceeds to show off finger articulation and ankle pivots along with everything else you'd hope for
I used to have these sets and then I sold them as I got older I found it was always easier to do the hands by making Optimus prime and ultra Magnus shake hands and then putting the hands together was actually really easy
I agree, I had This version, and a Yellow Prime..I LOVED Omega Prime, Until you touched it, but its one of the most gorgeous looking Bot modes. If they updated it for Haslab im in, but HAS to have CHROME
I never really watched RID, but their toys and designs are really unique. I had no idea that there was a version of Omega Prime before Energon and with a completely different Autobot.
Spot on guess! If you recall back to the previous fan stream, Evan Brooks had also hinted that he likes Optimus Primes that turn into firetrucks. So you better let the Team know what toppings you aren't allergic to right away! 😅
I wish that in a haslab Omega Prime would have something to do with all the rest of Optimus Truck bits, it would be really cool to actually have Omega Prime use all the parts
Somewhere in the multiverse: Since Siege Magnus has the same alt mode as RID, and he also splits into multiple pieces, both Prime and Magnus are going to be retools of that mold, and the Omega Prime are just Prime wearing Magnus’s armor
Just so you know you can slap a bunch of Prime's firetruck parts on Omega Prime. The feet are missile pods that can attach to his ankles, the gloves can be attached to magnus's arm-stumps so he has 4 full arms, etc. If you're feeling really brave you can even get the water cannon / ladder to sit on top.
The arms were designed that way so you could recreate the handshake to initiate the combination the show did. It's such a cool little detail.

Hasbro said that they will never do a optimus prime haslab just because its optimus prime
EDIT: They lied.
Yes
Yep, they have a rule on Prime. No Haslab for him and there’s at least 1 of OP in every wave.
Unless you’re SS86.. and apparently that’s coming soon.
my guess is either Energon Omega Supreme or Animated Omega Supreme
They could call him fire convoy who wasn't prime in Japan
But does this apply to an obscure Optimus Prime? I think they really meant G1 or more known versions. RID Prime isn’t really popular so I think that gives it room to be used.
You are a prophet 😂, great detective skills. Looking forward to the Haslab version!!
I just got recommended this and it's insane how you predicted the next haslab

I'm almost certain that "omega" is referring to the omega lock that well come with cybertron himself, Primus
That would make a lot of sense for the anniversary and to give Unicron a companion piece. Not sure it would get funded tho
Considering how angry and vitriolic, not to mention whiny, people were over Unicron’s “flaps” they’ll have a stroke over Primus
@@OtisCluckto be fair tho, Primus actually works in the flaps into his design
