I discovered that his shoulder guns are extendable/collapsible just like on the show (the first time he deployed them when confronting Megatron aboard the Ark, the guns popped out and the barrels extended out and the lights/laser sights were emitted from the indicator in the center of his chest). I got the Primal Prime (Gorira Prime) version from BBTS and he's absolutely epic in this color scheme and I LOVE the comic-accurate head they created for his bot mode.
Very awesome toy! I ordered him the other day, and he's pretty dope! One thing you forgot to include is that you can pull on blue part of his shoulders to extend them out a little bit, as well as expose some circuit details underneath (this does hamper the shoulder cannons from sitting on his shoulders, however).
@@nmmkunst it’s a long running joke in the transformers community known as “Trukk not Munky”. It’s about people who didn’t like Beast Wars a first, “Truck” being G1 Optimus prime and “Monkey” being Optimus Primal.
Perfect Effect has just opened pre - orders for their Mega Dragon (Non Transmetal dragon Megatron) and it looks cool. I am counting on you for the review!
the banana splits hahahah you crack me up! thanks for this dude, i always had trouble clipping the back pack to the waist in this mode but i managed it watching this :D top man!
I assume the peg in the middle of the arm covers is to peg them into the middle of the arm and spread them out. He used them as shields one time in the show.
It's got nothing to do with this video and it's been a while since you've done one, but I finally caved and got a TR Alpha Trion today solely because of you and your YOOOOOOOOUNG WARRIOOOOOOOOOOOR skits. xD
Did not know about the missiles hidden in the leg wheels. Also, the blue shoulder peices lift up for added arm articulation. When the chest is open, you can see the hinges inside. Theyre super tight but it works.
I just wish they would make a masterpiece version of Optimal Optimus and megatron(dragon). But I will settle for perfect effects versions of the 2 as well.because they are close to masterpiece
37:32-37:48 ......Well......Personally, the original is a way better optimus than this universe's one. XD Don't get me wrong, I really REALLY adore these outro skits and find them pretty hilarious. You seem to make a character's personality much different than the one we know and love.
Remember these being One of the most sought after toys back in christmas 98 but my parents gave me razorclaw with a vhs of the first 2 episodes of beast wars season 2.
When I was around 11-12, I found 60 dollars randomly on the ground and immediately proceeded to buy this toy. Beast Wars was my jimmy jam and Optimal Optimus was life.
So very well detailed and nicely moulded really cool, colours are perfect and the details on the face are beyond perfect, still love the original though
I wish WFC/FOC could've lead into a Beast Wars type story. I would've love to see the High Moon Studio's version of Beast Wars, specially with their cybertronian art style.
IKR? Can you imagine Optimal Optimus and Dragon Megatron missions?! X3 Boss fights for the predacons could include Tigerhawk and maybe the resurrected ark While the maximals have to agains shut down the nemesis.
High Moon could have even done a bit of Open World too, explore the prehistoric world for energon and pick up side missions to do for various characters. The Axalon/later the Ark could be a central hub to change characters and pick up the main missions.
Oh man! Saluds fron NYC! Emgo, your collection most be 3 apts rooms size! Wonder if one day you WILL show them ALL! in A posible 1hr video! by the way the only transformer i love so deep it s the MISFIRE targetmaster I once had and the GIJOE named OUTBACK! Best of luck! and KEEP that collection going strong! Wonder if those tiny BATTLE BEATS from the early transformers days are part of your collection too!?
I begged for the original figure for Christmas or my birthday (can't remember). I had every G1 Beast Wars toy because I was obsessed. But, I remember the original being "Fisher Price" random transforming garbage; nevertheless, I still managed to fall in love with this gigantic figure. Robot mode of course was the shining star, but I felt that the beast mode was so far away from Beast Wars concept. This figure to me made me think, "Why even have a beast mode? Blending in with the surroundings is happening." I love all of my Transformer memories as a child. Silverbolt's fusion kinda confused me, but this one took the cake! As a child I thought all the figures looked so realistic and looked like real bugs, rats, etc.; despite the fact, they were not that realistic and was only the view of a imaginative child. The coloring, the beast mode, the transformation, it all lacked substance. Optimus Primal throughout had to have the most lackluster transformation (human-like creature transforms to a more upright humanoid robot), but the first Primals had such imagination and character to them. Even though this last Optimus of the original Beast Wars was so much more complex; I really thought its execution was rather weak. It is weird how much I love the first Primal even though the the transformation was so simple. Thanks for the review man!!! I am so addicted to you videos. I want you to answer me this if you read this comment. Do you live in a Tardis, have Felix's magic bag, or have access to another dimension to have space for all these figures and toy you own?!?! Is you basement a multilayered bomb shelter, or do you just have a second house???
A vast improvement on the original, I wonder if they're going to do Depth Charge and Rampage as well. I'd like to see a 3rd party take on the Rampage tank mode.
Hello , there is always an updated site on new transformers? In a few months it will be released the new movie. Where you recommend me buying new transformers ? (TRANSFORMERS 5) THANK YOU !
I had the red and blue version of the original back when I was a kid. But I do prefer the original with the proper colour scheme. In fact the orange, blue, grey and plum colour scheme is something I always come back to when thinking about colour schemes in design because of this Optimal Optimus.
Do you have your orginal review on the beast wars optimal optimus releases in 1998. I have all 3 major versions and now do you loosen his joints.for his arms
Fecking hell more or less similar to the 2 transmetal beast wars version as as shown on season 2. Except the four back wheels on the legs two each resemble modern earth ones while the only front one resembles Cybertronian futuristic one..
I wanna get this, but I have the original and it was my favorite toy as a child. Most likely I'll will be picking one up if they do an Primal Prime or Rodimus Primal redeco.
Hey emgo I was just watching your emgo builds stuff and I realized either you haven't updated your playlist or haven't done your third tenkia knights toy or just didn't review it
I think future you should've come in at the begin at least and said how the keyword....s you'll be using throughout this is "Looks silly, but improves by a bit" XD
This thing would have been an instant buy for me if it came with an alternate Beast Machines Megatron face. Either way, only a matter of time before the Primal Prime repaint.
I should really not watch your reviews for toys I don't want. Somehow I always come out the other end being like "maaaybe I do want this after all." Damn you, Emgo - WHY YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEEE?!
Optimal Optimus has got to be the best Optimus in the universe. Half Maximal, half Autobot.
Half Maximal, half Autobot, all hero!
@@jimbodeekWell said.
And PRIME AF.
34:11"There he is my little guuuy! there he is, my little guy. isn't he cute?"
That's not what I wanted to hear...
I discovered that his shoulder guns are extendable/collapsible just like on the show (the first time he deployed them when confronting Megatron aboard the Ark, the guns popped out and the barrels extended out and the lights/laser sights were emitted from the indicator in the center of his chest).

Well *ACTUALLY* it’s Optimal Optimus
I swear if you take this seriously.
Very awesome toy!
I ordered him the other day, and he's pretty dope!
One thing you forgot to include is that you can pull on blue part of his shoulders to extend them out a little bit, as well as expose some circuit details underneath (this does hamper the shoulder cannons from sitting on his shoulders, however).
The only accessory this toy absolutely must have is an alternate face resembling Megatron!
Two years on and we still haven't got an Optimal Optimus toy with this accessory to my knowledge, which is a thought crime.
I wish they did that as accessory to homage megatron from beast machines with this mode
jajaja hope the ko that is on its way is going with that
Agree! That would be so cool to have a beast machine optimal megatron face
"Jumpin' Gyros! Optimus sure learns a new body fast!"
"Well what do you expect? He changes them often enough."
*rimshot*
LOL!! 😂
Was just watching that the other night 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
probably the most intricate toe articulation I have ever seen on a figure.
21:25 "Matt Damon." XD Yes, I believe that's from the team america movie. Is it?
I like Optimal Optimus because he can turn into a Trukk, a Munky, and a Playne.
He can also turn into a rebut.
His design makes so much sense
What country are you from? That’s not how you spell truck monkey and plane learn better grammar
@@nmmkunst it’s a long running joke in the transformers community known as “Trukk not Munky”. It’s about people who didn’t like Beast Wars a first, “Truck” being G1 Optimus prime and “Monkey” being Optimus Primal.
That is what was so awesome about Optimal Optimus is that he was over the top ridiculous.
Perfect Effect has just opened pre - orders for their Mega Dragon (Non Transmetal dragon Megatron) and it looks cool. I am counting on you for the review!
Haven't seen any reviews. Does it come with an alternate Optimal head?
if takara release an mp optimal optimus it better have a megatron face
I agree but they akso need to release Optimus' transmetal 1 modr
Fair
the banana splits hahahah you crack me up! thanks for this dude, i always had trouble clipping the back pack to the waist in this mode but i managed it watching this :D top man!
"Matt Damon" cracked me up.
This video was just...
Prime.
Thank you son of Sparda
Ayyyy
HAHA nice! I still say "Matt Damon" when things look doofy, as well.
“Team America: World Police”, uh, I think that’s where the reference came from?
@@TheRisingStorm316 That is correct.
@@SasmakToy That’s what I thought.
13:14-13:35 "Either wayyy, but heyyyy" Rhymes! Also, you said the same thing practically three times. XD
hes basically masterpiece optimal optimus
The skit at the end with Cheetor, how he won't ever get an upgrade or prime like Optimus, well Cheetor became the leader in the end on Beast Machines
If you give him the taller shoulders, he becomes Optimal Magnus
I assume the peg in the middle of the arm covers is to peg them into the middle of the arm and spread them out. He used them as shields one time in the show.
how dare you saw that abomination is better than my childhood memories I shall now leave in a 90s nostalgia rage
I love Third-Party Figures that have individual articulated fingers. That way they can give flip you off.
Lol
I had the original version of optimal Optimus when I was younger
Same
The arm panels that pop off in the cartoon where Shields for that lil extra cover in battle
It's got nothing to do with this video and it's been a while since you've done one, but I finally caved and got a TR Alpha Trion today solely because of you and your YOOOOOOOOUNG WARRIOOOOOOOOOOOR skits. xD
Looks awesome! ^^
I miss the chrome from the original toy though.
As well as the massive arms.

“big bot h-how do you feel”
“in a word prime”
Bigbot, how do you feel?
Optimal Options:"In a word... Prime."
"In a word........Prime."
Prime ribs
@Timothy Lei Best joke I've heard all day.
"But not for long....no." - Megatron
He said "Banana Splits", so now he's contractually obligated to sing the song.
What song?
Remember these being One of the most sought after toys back in christmas 98 but my parents gave me razorclaw with a vhs of the first 2 episodes of beast wars season 2.
I'm sure someone else has let you know already but the blue sections connected to the arms can move out too to get extra movement for the arms.
Beast Gorira sounds like a monster that you will see in a Godzilla movie.

@@bluewulv and separate campaigns for Maximals and Predacons like in WfC

I wish they'll make a transmetal 3 cheetor
I'd love a Primal Prime repaint of this guy.
are they going to do a primal prime repaint because if so i will get that instead
I'm not an Optimal Optimus fan, but "Beast Gorira" is a huge improvement. Hell, give him Primal Prime's color scheme and I may just buy it.

Anyone else picturing Clayton screaming "GO-RI-RA!"
Hey EmGo, are you gonna review Generation Toys J4zz?
Mus Fr ya like jazz?
I'm guessing you had the arms missed transformed in jet mode for a reason.
EmGo has an original Optimal Optimus?!!? Sick!!!
cool video emgo like always
Thanks man! You save me!
Hello ,
there is always an updated site on new transformers? In a few months it will be released the new movie. Where you recommend me buying new transformers ? (TRANSFORMERS 5) THANK YOU !
man i got that joke with the gorila mouth on the tip of my tongue but cant remember where it is from
The repaint is going to make a kick ass Primal Prime homage.
At 18:15
Your joke was so funny I laughed so hard
I forgot to laugh at all
What would have been even cooler it is that he included the head of Megatron when it takes up the body ^^
Emgo you should see the POTP version, it's Brilliant!!!!
Emgo: he did the split hehehe THE BANANA SPLIT! *[LAUGHING]*
I had the red and blue version of the original back when I was a kid. But I do prefer the original with the proper colour scheme. In fact the orange, blue, grey and plum colour scheme is something I always come back to when thinking about colour schemes in design because of this Optimal Optimus.
Do you have your orginal review on the beast wars optimal optimus releases in 1998.
I have all 3 major versions and now do you loosen his joints.for his arms
The only thing this figure's missing is an alternate Megatron head.
At the end i was expecting Primal to say "I think i already did."
What company makes the original Optimal Optimus (comparison)?
Great figure, and that was a whole lot of ROTATING! lol
Great review as always, but you missed a point of articulation. Those blue shoulders of his can bend upwards for better outward movement.
Fecking hell more or less similar to the 2 transmetal beast wars version as as shown on season 2. Except the four back wheels on the legs two each resemble modern earth ones while the only front one resembles Cybertronian futuristic one..
emgo are you going to be doing a mp 36 megatron review soon?
Would be cool if other third-party companies did their take on Unicron Trilogy characters.
Perfect effect is now making a beast wars dragon megatron
He looks like the wreck king skin of Johnson from the game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
is there one for dragon megatron?
Dude, Emgo I love you. But you missed your chance! You had the moment to do a "My little guy" moment!
Perfect Effect BEAST GORIRA is the best!
Am I the only one who thinks Gorira's mouth looks like the mouth plate on a Power Ranger's helmet?
Will you be doin the mp36 megatron?
does this model include the beast machines megatron face? c:
from beast wars to beast machine when megatron took his form against optimus primal
Do you think this bad boy will ever get the Primal Prime treatment? I'm holding out hope for one.
you are in luck then haha, recently announced the "gorira prime" version, due for release in november
There's also a "Nemesis" Gorirra out there as well
Wats the difference between the 4th party CR01 version of optimal Optimus and the perfect effect one
Well, he won't say anything once a Master Piece Transmetal II Cheetor is released in the future.
They should make a Beast Wars Megatron head for this figure so we can have an Optimal Megatron.
I wanna get this, but I have the original and it was my favorite toy as a child. Most likely I'll will be picking one up if they do an Primal Prime or Rodimus Primal redeco.
Are you going to keep the original? I got ripped off on ebay trying to buy it, and amazon's prices are way too high.
yes I am
emgo316
Ok, sorry for bothering you.
They need to do a perfect affect transmetal 2 cheetor
Oh boy! he got the ARMADA HEAD type! ahahahahaha Love it
Hey emgo I was just watching your emgo builds stuff and I realized either you haven't updated your playlist or haven't done your third tenkia knights toy or just didn't review it
I think future you should've come in at the begin at least and said how the keyword....s you'll be using throughout this is "Looks silly, but improves by a bit" XD
the figure I've been wanting to get an opinion on
Would have been cool to see them make a beast machines megatron face plate add on.
Emgo, for your next video review please do a review on MP-36 Megatron from Takara toys
Well that's just -prime- Gorira.
Cheetor: "Nice talk big bot now put me down."
awesome video emgo
If I remember the show right they’re meant to be like riot shields he can turn them into barricades
I heard this toy was recolored into Perfect Effect's version of the Beast Machines Maximal/Autobot Primal Prime.
A thing he forgot to mention is you can actually pose the jet mode In it’s cartoon accurate design with it’s arms pointing outwards
This thing would have been an instant buy for me if it came with an alternate Beast Machines Megatron face.
Either way, only a matter of time before the Primal Prime repaint.
Great video emgo316
I should really not watch your reviews for toys I don't want.
Somehow I always come out the other end being like "maaaybe I do want this after all."
Damn you, Emgo - WHY YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEEE?!
