No Germany store? Wouldn't mind using your affiliate links :)
wow 😮😊 he's dun a amazing build 😊
Tiago what’s that Rubik’s cube on top of the mystery block you have? Do you have a video on that?
Where's the Philippines one
Where is for russia?
I love that they put a hole in the blaster when is attached to the truck mode in case someone wants to build the trailer.
I wonder who that someone will be :)
Lego should add the trailer for sure
Weapon storage/jetwing upgrade trailer tease?
"someone"... Don't get my hopes up, Hachi...
Then do one hachiroku24! It would fit your content so good
This reminds me so much of the Voltron mega robot, which I have. They are going to look so great together!
Agreed . I also have Voltron Lego set , so this is a must have!
Isn't the Voltron mega robot megazord size?
Now the question is, how well does the vehicle mode scale with Speed Champions cars? AFAIK, Speed Champions hasn't had a big hauler truck since the line's debut, so getting something that scales well with the wider current-gen 2-seater cars would be really helpful for display.
Can't wait for a certain figure reviewer to get his hands on this set so he can compare them with...
Madoka, Godzilla, Prime
Years and years ago,
I got into Lego and I only built transformers! I was obsessed and I can’t believe it’s the day they finally make a real Lego transformer.
It transforms too? Wow
Considering they made Optimus Prime, I’m *REALLY* hoping that they make Bumblebee! Yes, Bumblebee is a lot smaller and a different type of car, but that would be an awesome pair! I think LEGO could really capitalize on this theme!
Next could be either Megatron or Bumblebee, it's mostly like this, that I can recall.
@@TheUltimizer. They would have to make him a tank though
I think Starscream would be better
@@i_likemen5614 Or him, these 3 are the top next projects they're gonna work with, but we'll see in the future who it is.
Sounds similar to Voltron in that it used pretty standard techniques without heavy reliance on technic elements, which is awesome!
What mindblowing to me is how easy as F the tranforming is
I can't believe it finally happened! It's as good as I imagined too. Let's gooo!
Easily one of the first biggest dreams come true of this decade
Lego should really add the trailer it would really add the feel to the g1 lego build
Can't wait to get this. I was on the fence about Voltron and ended up skipping it because even though i liked the look of it, I wasn't a fan of Voltron. I just wanted a cool Transformers looking robot. This fills that gap perfectly
I got the voltron set. Thing is huge and was def worth the $150. Considering they discontinued it and a new set goes for $500+
They show so much love to everything but Star Wars and Star Wars fans I swear 😂
Next up hopefully is Megatron. Oh I want this set.
See Hasbro? You don’t have to make the transformation overly complex with a million tiny panels just to make one small part of the body!
Those values are from the original packaging dats card that each character had.
did you forget about Voltron ? how do they stack up against each other ?
I guess the audience here is Lego only? Not one person used the phrase 'Tech Specs': these are the 'stats' (that aren't, strictly speaking, stats at all, but scores, ranks or ratings for each characters' attributes) which appeared on every single Generation 1 Transformer box and card from 1984 to 1987.
So, for the further enlightenment of perhaps one person, Tech Specs was short for Technical Specifications. Hasbro also used this G1 toy gimmick as a play on words: in boxed Transformers, you would get a rectangular slab of trans-red plastic (the 'specs') which enabled 9-year-old dorks like myself to 'decode' each Transformers attributes - speed, strength, courage etc. These are the values given here on the Lego plaque.
This is literally a nod to the whole G1 vibe and package: the likelihood of further Lego Transformers is nil. NIL!!! I'm sure people would love a G1 Megatron, but he transforms into a gun. With a sound modifier. Lego ain't doing that EVER. And it would be technically impossible. As for a smaller set like a Bumblebee, or any Transformer with curves, even more so.
There's no chance of more Lego Transformers, but Lego GI Joe could be a thing of wonder - corking minifigures like Duke, Scarlett, Baroness, Cobra Commander, the unlimited Cobra troop builders and the enormous selection of cool vehicles ranging from the tiny Zartan's Swamp Ski to the room-sized USS Flagg...personally, I think that license could compete with Marvel Superheroes, but it seems unlikely, doesn't it?
Anyhoo, back to Lego Prime. I can admire the engineering and transformation here: it's great and ingenious, and all of the weapons and gimmicks are really nice, especially if you grew up with G1 toys (I think the axe and Energon cube might even persuade people to buy this) but, 15 years on, the inevitable compromises of a brick-built Transformer are just the same as they were with Hasbro's straight-to-clearance creaky old BTR sets (non-transforming Transformers and 3.75" scale GI Joe sets). You've got the ridiculous flat head, lack of articulation, cubed vehicle mode and all these (and more) kill this for me. I'm glad to say I'll never be buying this, and honestly, Lego Ideas Voltron looked cooler and more organic and had more 'toy fidelity'.
And I think a whole lot of people who are commenting excitedly that they're going to buy this are going to wish they hadn't. I think the only people who will really love this are the AFOLs that can customise/ MOC better than Lego themselves can, and I'll be genuinely interested to see what cool tweaks the MOC community can make (the trailer would be a GREAT place to start).
For everyone else, is this 'cool' because it's Lego, or because it transforms? Because it kinda looks like G1 Optimus Prime would if someone steamrollered his face? Are you buying it because you plan on transforming it or just displaying in robot mode? If so, does it even need to transform?
And that £150 price point means this is costing more than TakaraTomy's unsurpassed, almost perfect large-scale transforming Transformers figures with diecast parts. In fact, for the price of Lego Prime, you could buy two recent Masterpiece sets - MP-53 (Skids) and MP-54 (Reboost) and still have about £40 change.
Or, you could compare TakaraTomy's MP44 (Convoy) against this. Yeah, Convoy is nearly £400, but it is a beautiful, 100% cartoon accurate G1 robot, truck and truck/trailer set, with the transforming truck, and sooo much good stuff: transforming roller, transforming trailer, axe, jetpack, blast effects, swap heads, swap battle damage panels, samples of Peter Cullen saying all of Prime's most remembered things (and minifigures of Spike, Carley & Sparkplug). If it's childhood Transformers nostalgia you want, go for this.
Obviously, it's all down to personal preference, but I struggle to see how anyone with any kind of love for Transformers could look at Transformers Masterpiece MP44 then look at Lego's effort and say, "Yeah, I want Lego's version because it has Lego bricks."
The two biggest toy brands united to make a product………. We are all doomed, well our wallets are.
Now all we need is LEGO My Little Pony.
Megatron next?
Wonder if Jobbythehong will get this
I need it I NEED THIS. TRANSFORMERS FANS BILD!
Half my shelves its transformers toys and the other half its lego...they will merge for the 1st time in june 😀
Finally, LEGO and Transformers are the perfect match. Hopefully this is the beginning of a long run of Transformers LEGO sets.
Yes mate I always thought this .. I have wanted this for years!! I am so happy ...
@@fraserwyllie8840 Same and let's be fair. We will be seeing then a lot of animations as well!
I build a Lego Jazz from scratch that I designed like 10 years ago using Lego police car and van parts. Included his gun lot of articulation and speakers that could be folded up on to shoulders. Didn’t transform but it was awesome!
You think they could make the Lego Transformers series into a mech series?
I think they are doing a Bumblebee.
It's insane that this not only is a very detailed LEGO set, but it also actually transforms.
If they make starscream I will be so happu
Nah, the Lepin one is way better.
@@comebackguy8892 Nobody ask
@@jamesbruno4795 Nobody asked De Motormeneer either, but that didn't stop him. So why would it stop me?
@@comebackguy8892 that's a cute words did your husband give it to you?
As someone who's childhood was basically defined by Lego and Transformers, this is probably the most amazing thing I have ever seen
Same dude
@@deronn.j6088 same
Bro same
Same
Totally agree! Same for me, never had any Transformers toys, but watch the 80’s cartoon regularly and still have Legos from then.
The most amazing thing here is the designer , who used to work on the transformer toys as well.
Exactly!!
I LOVE that you don't even have to take it apart to transform it. I was kind of worried that it'd be a "Build this OR that" kind of thing.
Yeah, you have to do that with Kreo transformers but it looks like Lego transformers can actually transform.
yeah thats why i never bought any of the kre-o sets
Optimus Prime had that Energon Axe in exactly one episode of G1, for like a minute, but it's absolutely mandatory that every Optimus Prime toy worth its salt must include it.
Movie.
Not entirely, the axes are a nice accessory, but I'd rather not have mp44 again, I don't want too many accessories. Also the ion blaster is much more iconic.
"A trailer, an anti-aircraft gun, three mini figures"
@@Slimey1984 It was a joke because basically every optimus masterpiece has had an energon axe. Takara, Hasbro, third party, AND NOW LEGO.
@@samurexatlas7373 the energon axe is an accessory I appreciate it compared to some of the ones Takara packs in to the MP figures. I have never, and will never use those stupid mini figures with the MP figures. They just stay in the box.
My mind is blown that they've found a way to transform it without changing ANY parts except the bumper plate but that's literally one brick, this is insane. It must've been a crazy design process to make the transformation work and still keep it strong enough to not fall apart in the process
Well, technically the grey stripe below the windows isn't there on truck mode, but that would've overcomplicated the engineering a bit too much, i think
You should look into fan made lego transformers - they're truly mind blowing
@@pandora8940 Yeah they're awesome and I've built one from a tutorial it was just ridiculously fragile
@@logan317b could you share a link to the tutorial please?
I am just falling into this rabbit hole of LEGO + Transformers, I am suddenly 9 year old again
It's not that sturdy
I can already see people redesigning him to give him tons of articulation and extra features. Definitely getting my hands on this set!
The smartest thing to do woulf be giving him some ratchet knee joints. I can see tho why theybremoved them
@@mynameisharry8739 I could see someone using those super strong flat technic ratchet joints that get used in the Star Wars ATAT sets
yeah, integrating lego technic components into this figure would fix about 40% of it's problems
The values on the plaque are a callback to the datacard that was on the back of the box of the original toy. I do hope they do more G1 characters in the future.
I'm especially impressed that the transformation is the same as the original toy, save for the hands. That's a very faithful translation of the original.
Yeah
It’s a shame most of the G1 dececticons transform into weapons. Maybe we’ll get a soundwave
@@maxwell5428 Megatron and shockwave are the only guns really
It’s probably a reference like you said but the original Optimus Prime transformation is super simple and easy to follow, which is probably what made them go through with it
This set looks really really fun to build. It’s also mind blowing that they did this mostly with standard pieces.
I love everything about this set and I will definitely buy it, but in terms of being fun to build... i dont know. I dont think so. Half the set must be a repeat build. Legs hands. Either those are so fun to build twice or I dont think it is going to be that fun. But who cares when it looks like that!
@@elwingy I mainly say it because I’ve never built a set that can transform like this, I’m really curious of the mechanic.
@@elwingy It was a little monotonous, but it is overall, a pretty good build. I put mine together last night.
They really packed alot of details into this set
OMG! WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR NEARLY 13 YEARS, LET'S GO!!
The two things I love the most in my life finally combined together (officially). I've been waiting since I was three years old to see this Collab happen and it finally did...
Haha officially . . . .
Anyone remember kreo?
@@Slimey1984 yeah that was Transformers official (and I still miss it tbh) but it wasn't Lego official
To be exact, it was not really a collaboration, it was more that the one guy who did it at Hasbro now does it at Lego 😉
The way they made Optimus look dynamic while still transforming is extremely impressive by the fact that it is lego. The only G1 Lego Prime I've seen that is as close to this was StupidNinja's V3 Optimus, nearly similar, both extremely great figures
Wow, this may be one of my new favorite sets! Another fantastic review.
Thank you for the kind words!
@@TiagoCatarino did he only work on the toys or did he also work on Kre-O Transformers?
The stats I think are just more of an homage to the original action figure that did have those stats on the box. I don’t think it necessarily means we will see more Transformers sets, though it would definitely be welcome!
I'm not a fan of Transformers myself, but this design is so cool
Congrats. You know qualify as a transformer fan.
5:16 Never thought that I would ever see a product with those three logos at once.
I would love to see them do Starscream, the Decepticon that ttansforms into a supersonic jet.
Broe Hasbro can't so I'd say its safe not to bet on it
Or sound wave
This is genuinely really awesome, but I'll admit that what it makes me hope for is some kind of licensed Gundam set as well. It would be awesome if we got to see the RX-78-2 Gundam stand as an official product, which is absolutely the Gundam that would be chosen for such a crossover product.
I don't think you understand how much I appreciate you and your comment. Gundam is my life 😂
I'm so happy its happening, I am just surprised at how long these companies took to combine these two things. Imagine more figures coming out and doing custom builds of these guys. ITS WHAT I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF. I am also anticipating a lego transformers video game, this shit has so much potential.
this must be one of the best sets ever. achieving a transformer and look great in both modes while using no spelized pieces that's incredible.
I'd expect Soundwave next based on his shape, he and Prime are both quite blocky and right angle-y.
Actually Lego Soundwave would be f'n awsome!
That's what I'm waiting for!!!
An amazing set, Hasbro and LEGO partnering up.
Holy crap this is insane, way better than I thought. 150 quid is a bit mental though
Completely agreed
@@TiagoCatarino And totally worth it if you ask me. XD
I still have a sealed Kre-O Optimus Prime. It took that long for it to be an official LEGO version.😅 Love the Kre-O Starscream too(in vehicle mode). Lego Voltron has more kick to it but that's a classic looking Optimus Lego has done here. Crazy it transforms!
well to be fair Kre-O was competition Lego but Lego still end up becoming with number one and that thing was ultimately had abandoned since we haven't heard anything about them since 2017 and that's it was deemed around trolls ( which sequels well-educated Lego sets) but in all seriousness two rival companies in the toy industry collaborating ( and I could see more potential for more Lego Transformers theme open to other franchises do you see more for teens and adults we have seen Horizon recently got a Lego set)
and ironically the Creo ones doing transform
This looks amazing. Lego is KILLING it lately. Can't wait till Megatron comes out, cuz you know it is.
It seems to me that there are things that this set has that are big deal to Transformers fans but may fall flat for normal lego collectors. I love seeing him come with all of the accessories for a great display piece. Just need a Megatron to go with it.
As a fan of both, it feels meh tbh for me, although I pretty much only want the super expensive sets like the grand piano, starwar stuff or marvel. And for a transformer it's too basic (Im a mpm collector). I know the design to make this in lego is really complex but just not for me
Must’ve taken them forever to design this. So cool.
As a LEGO fan and a hardcore Transformers fan, this is a dream come true!I can't believe this is happening! I need this NOW!
I know mate. I have wanted this all my life …. You think they will do a Megatron and Starscream?
@@fraserwyllie8840 If this model sells well (which lets face it, will fly off the shelves) I wouldn’t doubt they will continue to make more Transformers. Hasbro has been doing many collabs. They are also making some micro machines!
@@fortimusprime I hope so!!!
To me, his energon axe is such a key part for him. It’s his most powerful weapon in his arsenal and is almost like his super move
Amazing! I would just leave the front bumper panel on in truck mode. I agree, the energon axe could have looked better, but I love the Energon cube!
Great video, thanks!
Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.
I am so happy for this.
I hope it becomes a full on theme, same thing with the Horizon tallneck.
Another great Tiago review.
It is very impressive, the design and the transforming.
I have the Kre-O one from many years back. It had nice minifigs and a good design, but you had to completely disassemble the entire model to change from truck to robot.
Although it did come with the full trailer, some interior details, figs and 2 motorcycles.
I'm hoping they can make a companion kit for the trailer for the Lego one.
Imagine what they could do with a G1 Soundwave!
I grew up with so many people making there own amazing custom transformable optimus primes over the years. The fact we have a mass release one with such high quality is truly incredible. I'm very tempted to pick this up, even though it is a little pricey.
I can't believe rumors about Optimus were 2 days ago and 2 days later reveals and reviews are here. Crazy
the rumors have been going on for a while now, lego's announcement and the first leaked pictures were a day or 2 ago.
Even here, in lego, the transformation is more intuitive and seamless than most hasbro optimus prime figures.
The fact that they somehow found a way to have a Lego transformer that can actually transform with a clean back when official companies can’t even find away is some dark magic
Edit: yes I know there are others with little to no back issues and yes I know it only looks clean with the Jet pack so before you type your complaint I just wanna let you know I’m fully aware of what you’re about to say
Back only looks clean with the jet pack attached. But it’s still a great looking set.
@@lenabrokaw714 thank you for the information have a nice day
@@astrobot3038 thank you for the information have a nice day
@@lenabrokaw714 also I won’t
@@lenabrokaw714 Also it’s a pretty understandable it’s a thing that’s supposed to be posable and transformable but they have pretty good figures I guess
i love your reviews tiago
Love the support!
This Hasbro license could also mean we'd get Power Rangers LEGO let that sink in over 30 years of content to choose from and the sets could be the Zords from each season you collect them all and combine them into the Megazord it would be expensive but worth every penny. I can see them doing this as Mega Bloks did the same but more so Separate builds rather than a combination of separate and bundles/sets. For Lego the Arms would be a double pack £25-35 the legs would be two separate sets priced at £30-£50 and the main body would be £70-80 again as you can see expensive each set having multiple Goons and a villains, 3-1 power rangers and potentially a set based on the 6th ranger and a scaled up villain to battle the Megazord.
I could see them doing this for each Series and there's also potential for a CMF series celebrating the different types as rangers have special armour/upgrades that count as separate minifigures and some characters like Tommy habe multiple versions they could even have a micro fighters style subline doing the same thing "MiniZords" or heck bring back those buildable figures from StarWars or like the Iron-Man figure.
The stats on the info plate are a reference to the original toy, which came with a stat card that you could cut out of the back of the box. I don't think its meant to be a tease for future Transformers sets. It'd be cool if it was, though.
You think they will do a Megatron and Starscream?
Wait...what about it says "Lego?" It better not cost more than 69-79 bucks. Gee....you can get a beautiful, large-scale metal one for 125 on e bbay from Transformation Toys or other toymakers. Yikes!
So hyped for this and the future of their partnership, hoping for more transformers cause this is definitely a day one purchase for me and I’m hoping for power rangers megazords, mighty morphing to be exact
Just bought this set for myself and my 2 brothers! We are going to built them all together with the first movie playing in the background! Your review and black friday helpt close the deal.
This brings back so much nostalgia.
The virgin Optimus Prime Transforming Robot Toy costing 1500 total versus the chad LEGO Optimus Prime
I'm HUGE Transformers fan, and I gonna admit. This set is the best set elgo ever done. In my opinion. I will definlly gonna buy this set.
You know the drill: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! ;-)
If this great but overprized Set is selling well, Lego and Hasbro will surely give us more Transformers. Next one? Bumblebee of course!
Personally this isn’t one for me, but I can appreciate a good set when I see one. Incredible job from the designer and team to make this. As a kid getting into Lego, this type of thing was pure fantasy. Unbelievable what they can do now. Looks awesome!
Me be like: Oh cool. Lego Optimus prime looks nice OH MY GOD IT CAN TRANSFORM!
Very impressive, especially the fact that it transforms, but I doubt it's worth making an entire series of these for any of the companies, because it won't replace Lego's ccbs constraction and it won't replace Hasbro's Masterpiece Tf line, so it's just for the audience who wants both at once with some compromises, which I doubt is big enough.
Bruh what
No-one assumed that it would replace Hasbro toys. People have wanted a decent looking LEGO esque Transformers set. Kre-O and previous efforts didn't do the brick versions of them justice and Masterpiece isn't even a brick construction set
@@DatPRGuy2017 But what's the point of brick built transformers if the non-brick built are better in every way, as I said, it's cool for one set like this, but not for an entire line
As a Transformers and Lego fan: I’m fucking coming, omg thinning so incredible, I need it 😭😭😭
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Wow… so we might get starscream? Megatron? Sound wave? Lol move over hasbro I need this line of legos in my life.
The ranks you are referring to at 4.15 are a homage to the original toys. There would be stats on the back of the box of the toy. That's what this is referring to. I'm not saying there won't be more TF lego, just indicating what the stats are about and why they are there.
I don’t really care about transformers but I might have to get this because it just looks so good
Only thing that killed it for me was the eyes just need to update that but overall a must buy for Transformer G1 fans.
I collect Transformers Masterpiece figures and Lego and this set is just mind blowing. Cannot wait for this to be released. Thanks so much for the review!
I'm so glad that Hasbro and LEGO have partnered up to create Transformers set an how fitting is a G1 Optimus Prime I did like Kreo's attempts but with LEGOs techniques I'm sure greater accuracy could be achieved and the fact that it transforms without the need to disassemble certain parts or rebuild entirely is an automatic win. Hope this Partnership forms an IP for LEGO to annually release Transforms builds From multiple factions would be siiiiiiick.
Am i the only one who thought about this since i watched the first transformers?
I’m not going to be odd. But personally this could be used as a toy. Sort of
I won't be mad if they don't make more transformers sets, but we all know it would be epic to get a bumblebee who can transform into a Camero. I hope it happens
"Si Optimum Praid!" - some Fillipino dude
I am SO getting this Optimus Prime. I might have to wait till my birthday, or till I can save up for it, but I’m DEFINITELY getting it! Altho, my only real complaint is that he has no knee joints. But it’s a friggin Lego Optimus Prime, so I’ll take it XD
Finally, LEGO actually made Optimus Prime 🥲
Now I'm wating for a Lego Megatron set....Let's go!!!!
Me and my brothers always wanted this when we were young. We were insane Transformers and Lego fans, still kind of are. It's crazy to see Lego and Transformers finally together. 😎
Not a transformers fan to begin with but I feel this is certainly a step in the right direction. I hope in the future they release some gunpla type mech/s since the lego moc community has so many amazing designs! A couple of things that bugs me about this design are the eyes. The spacing makes the face look a bit goofy. The body proportions feel a bit off giving Optimus a short/stocky vibe. More like a "dad bod" if you will. Overall though its a pretty solid design. Great review, keep them coming. 👍
More to come!
I got mine today and it is hands down the best Lego set I’ve bought
This is the most excited I’ve gotten for a Lego set in a very long time. I remember building my own custom Lego transformers based off TH-camrs building their own. I wonder if they’ll do a mini scaled Lego Unicron?? Or a diorama of Unicron as a planet or robot battling against the Autobots? I built a Lego micro G1 Megatron before that transforms into a robot, tank, and gun so I know it’s possible to build micro Transformers.
Loved this! Hoping they make bumblebee next!
Man I really want this set I hope they do a gun megatron
Nice review. I’m still on fence with this one. I own a gigantic resin statue of prime & megatron & feeling a bit underwhelmed. I do wish it was bigger, but that’s ok. I think it’s more the stiff leg look I have an issue with. Not having it bendable just limits the pose aesthetic. However I’m sure it’s an engineering issue. I think I need to see it in person before purchase
those stats were the stats on the box from the original toy.
4:54 Why you gotta diss Lego technic like that smh
