Yeah I really dint like fake parts most of the time. However I don't mind them in this case because the original design had fake parts. It's not like Earthrise Prime just swapping out the grill for a slightly different grill. I don't like that because Optimus never transformed like that in G1.
He actually does have light piping, just very bad. The whole back of his head is painted clear plastic and there are two tiny holes that light comes through. The leaked Black Convoy is unpainted and you can see it's actually pretty decent
1:09 True, they did him dirty with those colors. He's basically just Nemesis Prime now, extremely unfortunate. As for a personal repaint wish of mine, it's gotta be movieverse bay colors. Just imagine how freakin' cool that'd be on legacy Prime, and it'd be awesome to have him fit in with my other generations G1-ified figs. Also, does anyone else notice that they keep skimping on painting the silver for Primes face recently? It used to just be the earthrise mold but, lo and behold, it's missing yet again on the legacy figure. I really miss it, honestly.
what they did to scourge really hurts man, I have the OG mold and was super excited for the legacy one because I really want a more dynamic version of that design.
Not sure if anyone has commented this yet, but there is a panel in the cab of the truck you flip down for robot mode. That fixes the gap, and gives him some thruster detail
New one looks great. I have 0 attachment to G2 but I'm super excited to eventually get the Legacy figure. I don't remember exactly how to do it but I saw somewhere that you can configure the trailer pieces in a way that you can give Optimus a big gatling gun/cannon type weapon that he can hold kinda like a clone z-6 rotary cannon, which is pretty cool.
Legacy g2 prime is the best one the reveal shield prime is good and its ok but it's small idc about size that much on transformers toys the detail looks great but idk something about the reveal shield g2 prime being small
Just in case you didn't know but legacy prime has a red panel inside the truck cab that folds down for robot mode to fill in a gap and to become jet thrusters.
I don't have any knowledge of G2 prime nor do I like the ER Prime mold but I really like the truck he turns into, movie prime basically, and the oil tanker.
This figure looks pretty good, I'm gonna wait till scourge though to get it. Not that black Convoy, I feel like that name alone is enough to think they'll do a totally separate proper scourge
The Black Convoy/Scourge that got leaked may not look like the actual Scourge from RID which used the G2 Laser Optimus mold but he does seem to be based off of the Scourge hasbro did which used the Combat Hero Optimus mold that had been released towards the end of RID and beginning of Armada. That figure had a more Nemesis Prime color to him like the leaked figure has so even though the gray isn't there it's still faithful to a version of RID Scourge from the toyline
Guess you didn't catch the subtitles in the video where I say I've seen it, and also it's not Scourge but "Black Convoy". He doesn't have the same color scheme.
i call the reveal the shield one Opti Prime for difference and has a small origin being that he was a spokesman but decided to be a sword barer and had red energon turn into the sword he used that can be a special if he wants to but has a modified battle droid missile launcher plus his shoulder blasters
I hate the fact that the new one just has half of his vehicle mode on the back. And this clear chest... Eh. I swear that transformation is some legend scale shit put on the leader class
I miss older transformations honestly. Like trying to get the actual part of the vehicle into the right spot on the robot mode is super cool
New ones are nice and usually less fiddly, but not as fun imo

finally my favorite interaction of Optimus gets a new toy that isn't just a repaint, and you're covering it in a Old VS New

My brother LOVES the Black Convoy leaked deco, but I really want Scourge.

They never named him scourge, just black convoy. My bet is they have another repaint waiting. Toyhax will probably have some creative fixes anyways.
Honestly I wouldn't mind a scourge retool with a brand new chest. The siege legs also desperately need to get rid of the side trailer hitch.
@@juliegrine2875 if you remembered correctly, you'd know scourge has a different chest from this one.
RtS Optimus has fantastic articulation that a sword-wielding character desperately needs.

There is light-piping! The back of the Legacy version's head is painted trans-blue plastic, wich still allows light to go through.
Legacy g2 prime is the best one the reveal shield prime is good and its ok but it's small idc about size that much on transformers toys the detail looks great but idk something about the reveal shield g2 prime being small
When you realize you can give his smoke stacks the flames from 86 Hot Rod and get even more epic 90’s edge… 8.
Just in case you didn't know but legacy prime has a red panel inside the truck cab that folds down for robot mode to fill in a gap and to become jet thrusters.
Oh wow, that's a really unneeded detail that I very much appreciate! Kudos to Hasbro and you for telling me!
Legacy Prime does have light piping. It's the two triangular holes in the back of the head. You may need a smaller light to get to it but it's there.
I don't have any knowledge of G2 prime nor do I like the ER Prime mold but I really like the truck he turns into, movie prime basically, and the oil tanker.
One cool thing to do with the Legacy one is give his sword to 86 SS Hot Rod. It looks amazing on him.
Great review Jcc2224!!!!! This is my favorite Legacy wave 1 figure, and I'm super excited for the Black Convoy repaint. :D Keep on being amazing.
This figure looks pretty good, I'm gonna wait till scourge though to get it. Not that black Convoy, I feel like that name alone is enough to think they'll do a totally separate proper scourge

I just wish they kept the red fade instead of going with a movie inspired flame. oh well still a nice looking figure.
There is an official Scourge repaint in the Velocitron sub line coming!
Guess you didn't catch the subtitles in the video where I say I've seen it, and also it's not Scourge but "Black Convoy". He doesn't have the same color scheme.
I really wish for 3rd parties to upscale the RTS Laser Prime 🗿
I have the upgrade for reveal the shield brings him into a whole different league trust me.
I was watching someone else transform the legacy prime and they didn't fold down the panels on his knees it drove me insane
If they don't make a Toxitron we riot, yes?
Now this is a figure that is a must have for me.
How durable is the translucent plastic? I've been avoiding Legacy like the Plaque.
give the old one an upscale with bigger head and you've got yourself perfect prime
I have the reveal the shield version but its the upgraded one with the different head i do like the new one tho still both solid figures!
i call the reveal the shield one Opti Prime for difference and has a small origin being that he was a spokesman but decided to be a sword barer and had red energon turn into the sword he used that can be a special if he wants to but has a modified battle droid missile launcher plus his shoulder blasters
Still waiting for Scourge/Black Convoy
Hopefully we do actually get a scourg repaint
I think there is check out pvps vid
I hate the fact that the new one just has half of his vehicle mode on the back. And this clear chest... Eh. I swear that transformation is some legend scale shit put on the leader class
Does anyone know the history of Laser Optimus Prime?
Optimus gets gravely injured but becoming Laser Prime gives him a power boost he needed.
My RTS primes legs Snaped off at the knee
deluxe prime and the maketoys upgrade is on my 'won't fit in my collection because scale' grail list
I still own the left one (the small one)
I asked my dad for him for my birthday I really hope I get him
Good vid!!
Heavyarms moment
Not gonna lie.... G2 be looking better than G1
Hello fellow halo fans bro
Question, should I get SS Grindor or Legacy Lazer Prime? I consider both very worth my time and money.
I love your videos
Is there going to be a g3 optimus prime
Are you gonna get scourge? If so, are you gonna review it?
Or do you already have it?
Already have it! Dunno if I'll review it tho.
Hey bro, first true fan comment. 🤟
Nah, Ultra Magnus is Way Cooler than Both G2 Optimus and RID Scourge because of his Trailer Armour
(I don't like the SS86 Magnus Toy though)
I like the legsey
