Who knows if we'll get to have these comments sections thru the next year, but, holy cow do a lot of these not actually get fed to my emails or notifications email ones told me there were 16 comments total lmao
I love the tiny effect part peg on the bottom of the truck (around where the waist folds into place for the robot mode) just so you can replicate the booster jet he used to transform and jump into battle in the movie.
The inside of the chest has juuuuust enough of a nub to hold up a blast effect if you're so inclined and have one small enough (Firedrive's, for instance). It's no matrix, but it's kinda cool.
I bought this figure cuz of all that I heard of it despite not wanting him when he was revealed... Suffice to say, I really like this boy....a lot. Wait how long has Optimus had those knee flaps for his truck mode??
I finally experience the mold earlier this month, with the cartoon version. Really fun mold. Fantastic transformation. It's quite possibly the best classics style Optimus Prime we've gotten so far, at least in robot mode
New Vangelus video, happy day! I never picked up SIEGE Optimus Prime. I like the look of him (and Earth Rise version too) but I'm hoping we get a weird color scheme of that mold. I don't want to pick it up just to do a video on it and then sell/give it away.
Still possibly my favorite Transformers figure of all time. It's just so damn good! I'd argue it holds up to that upcoming Prime as well by simply being better proportioned thanks to having a proper waist diaper thing (unlike Earthrise Prime that just makes the top of the legs have the design bits usually found on the diaper).
I got this figure when it first came out and i just recently discovered that you could flip the knee caps i love when you get to find new things about a figure after you own the thing for a long time it makes you look at the figure differently
I'm really happy that you reviewed this guy. I've been really wanting to know your thoughts on Siege. Great work as always! Also, I too had Optimus fatigue, but between this, the Studio Series, and the Amazing Yamaguchi. I've bought more Optimuses (Optimii?) this year than I've bought in my entire time collecting Transformers.
Welcome back, V! I didn't realize it was Christmas already. Great review, surprised you didn't mention how small this figure is. I think even another half inch of height would solidy this figure as my favorite Voyager of the line instead of Thundercracker.
Been wondering would Vangelus take look of WFC: Siege toys at some point though is Vangelus gonna review few Power of the Primes or later released Titans Return toys. Anyhoo, hope we get more Vangelus TF toy covering till end of 2019.
If those effect part spots had holes do you think a classic Mini-Con would fit or are the pegs too wide? At any rate there have been better Cybertron mode Optimuses before, like the last War For Cybertron version. This just looks like an Earth truck with some extra bits popped on to it, like a brighter Mad Max. (Happy Max?)
_"And in the next line, there's a whole new fresh Optimus who--at great pre-release distance as of this recording where I didn't watch that one video so far..."_ I for one welcome our TonTon overlord
Too be fair, said Earthrise Prime isn't all that fresh, he outright reuses Siege's leg parts and the retooling to the upper body's transformation is less finicky but also results in a less aesthetic lower back/upper butt flap made out of the trunk bumper and front wheels... Also can't wait for Vangelus to do Siege Megatron and the most adorable of the Weaponizers, BRUNT!
MP44, SS44, (I think SS38 actually came out last year), both versions of Voyager Siege Optimus AND that "Leader" Siege Optimus (the Galaxy Convoy/Cybertron Optimus rendition), at least one MP10 KO, and I think Golden Lagoon MP10...yeah, that's A Prime Problem for sure. And then there's Earthrise Optimus coming in the spring or so...I know that he & Bumblebee are big sellers, but daaamn...is it any wonder folks are gettin' worn out & exasperated!? This (and the upcoming Earthrise) makes nice entries in an Optimus collection...but I'm still gonna have to go with that KuBianBao MP10V (Voyager sized MP10 KO) as my CHUG scale Optimus...even if it completely doesn't work with current scaling anymore. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Easily one of the best Primes out there imo. Of course, if you're not into the battle damage, you can get the cel-shaded version instead. Or, y'know, Earthrise Prime, who looks stunning (turned out they were going for the blue hands version this whole time)
Hey, this is a great review, though, after seeing Earthrise Optimus, eh, not a fan. Already had issues, though the Cartoon Animation released solved it for me, being that, its way more interesting than the traditional Optimus look. The action sequences in this review are lovely.
To battle optimus prime fatigue, I propose this novel idea: different trailers! When we get a trailer, it's usually about the same, give us something different to collect. They could release a bunch of trailers separately.
Part of me would kind of like if his vehicle referenced the design seen in "The Flames of Boltax!" or that mental artillery/box thing seen in the first marvel comic, but they both might have lead to a worse figure. Great video as always!
I love The Siege Optimus Prime. It's like a miniature Masterpiece; to be honest, I only wish that he were a bit taller and that backpack folded in a bit more evenly.
@TwistedGaming918 It's a bit more than that, Earthrise Prime has a retooled transformation scheme and reuses the window chest joints for a Matrix gimmick... But yeah, I'd rather get a Roller Weaponizer with the Trailer for my Siege Prime than another Earthrise Prime...
Those shoulders and a flight stand let's you pose Prime into that flip attack he does in the big battle in the begining of the 80s movie... Also Nemesis Prime re use/Repaint black and feel please hasbro
@@Vangelus Even I'm not that petty, I run him with Smashdown and Vanguard, and if I'm lucky I'll be able to get two Matrixes of Leadership and maybe a cargo trailer
This guy was probably the floppiest toy I have gotten in a long time. Everything from the knees up was extremely loose, it couldnt even stand up and the arms couldnt hold a pose. Im use to having to fix some joints on figures but jeez.
Hey, he’s back! With an actual transformers review!!
Who knows if we'll get to have these comments sections thru the next year, but,
holy cow do a lot of these not actually get fed to my emails or notifications
email ones told me there were 16 comments total lmao
Hast thou noticed that the torso cavity fits a Matrix from the Combiner Wars trilogy figures?
This whole video is just blatant passive aggressive COPPA energy and I’m so here for it XD
I love the tiny effect part peg on the bottom of the truck (around where the waist folds into place for the robot mode) just so you can replicate the booster jet he used to transform and jump into battle in the movie.
foffffffff I thought that was just a locking peg!! :O
What???? I thought the same
The inside of the chest has juuuuust enough of a nub to hold up a blast effect if you're so inclined and have one small enough (Firedrive's, for instance). It's no matrix, but it's kinda cool.
I MISSED YOU
I've waited 12 months for this moment
Wow, nice angles, even the way you moved the figures as if they were actually moving in the sequence! Great work!
I wondered if anybody would notiiiice~
decided to use the end segment to test some ideas I'd storyboarded in my head to try and communicate motion
@@Vangelus It'll be creative, no doubt. I definitely like a cohesive storyline.
Oh, how I missed these...please don't take as long for the next review, man :(
The best thing about Vangelus vids all this years is his transformation finger work. Such beauty, much smooth.
Buttery, you might even say.
I bought this figure cuz of all that I heard of it despite not wanting him when he was revealed...
Suffice to say, I really like this boy....a lot.
Wait how long has Optimus had those knee flaps for his truck mode??
It's alive!
Wonder if this means more siege reviews? Would love to see his reaction to shockwave and brunt
New year, new Optimus Prime figure.
Nice to see another review, Vangelus!
I finally experience the mold earlier this month, with the cartoon version. Really fun mold. Fantastic transformation. It's quite possibly the best classics style Optimus Prime we've gotten so far, at least in robot mode
the hover truck mode makes more sense than Galaxy Force/Cybertron's Optimus' "winged fire truck jet mode".
Thanks to Contrapoints, we have the term "mouthfeel." Thanks to Vangelus, we have "handfeel."
HOLY MACKEREL! You're back!
It's the Pelvic Thrust that really drives you INsAnE !
I needed a Vangelus review today
Vangelus reviews feel like a throwback to the good old days
New Vangelus video, happy day! I never picked up SIEGE Optimus Prime. I like the look of him (and Earth Rise version too) but I'm hoping we get a weird color scheme of that mold. I don't want to pick it up just to do a video on it and then sell/give it away.
Good to see you, again.
I can't believe the Seekers got the best articulation of the line.
"He's planning to write a thesis about it"
I kinda want to read that thesis.
My god, a review from Vangelus!
It's been a while.
Welcome back! And with a toy I own too, how delightful!
Still possibly my favorite Transformers figure of all time. It's just so damn good! I'd argue it holds up to that upcoming Prime as well by simply being better proportioned thanks to having a proper waist diaper thing (unlike Earthrise Prime that just makes the top of the legs have the design bits usually found on the diaper).

Also, I too had Optimus fatigue, but between this, the Studio Series, and the Amazing Yamaguchi. I've bought more Optimuses (Optimii?) this year than I've bought in my entire time collecting Transformers.
Remember that guy who screamed out "The whole truck is on his back!" from one of your con vids? Boy are we glad he was wrong.
My fav OP . The Siege line got me back into collecting Transformers.
My god, Vangelus has actually remembered the Transformers franchise is more than just a card game X'D
Welcome back, V! I didn't realize it was Christmas already. Great review, surprised you didn't mention how small this figure is. I think even another half inch of height would solidy this figure as my favorite Voyager of the line instead of Thundercracker.
tbh I've stopped taking a lot of note of figure height - as long as I'm satisfied with the handfeel and noticeable complexity I'm good these days
Glad to see you back with a review!
glad you're back
Glad to see you're back bro, great video as always
Hooray for the flippedy-flippedy!!!
2:35 - HOLY SHIT IS THAT A BRAVE REFERENCE
Been wondering would Vangelus take look of WFC: Siege toys at some point though is Vangelus gonna review few Power of the Primes or later released Titans Return toys. Anyhoo, hope we get more Vangelus TF toy covering till end of 2019.
I bought this and the anniversary paint scheme. It's been a good year for my Optimus shelf. Still need to get that big Cyberverse one.
The Classics, Voyager Optimus Prime is rolling over in his plastic grave, with those massive forearms.
I hope you do more Transformers toy reviews on your channel in the future.
I've been waiting for you.
Great review man...looking forward for more siege figure reviews :3
If those effect part spots had holes do you think a classic Mini-Con would fit or are the pegs too wide? At any rate there have been better Cybertron mode Optimuses before, like the last War For Cybertron version.

I’ve missed you so much
Been a while Vanglorious one Welcome back.
You came back !!! the best reviews!! Hi from Chile
Phenomenal review as always and glad to see another video from you
Omg yes!! I love this figure!!
Never in my life would I ever think I'd see Optimus Prime, noble leader of the Autobots... *dab.*
I don't know whether to be proud or disappointed.
the front wheels also tab into the back piece of the crotch in hover mode
_"And in the next line, there's a whole new fresh Optimus who--at great pre-release distance as of this recording where I didn't watch that one video so far..."_
I for one welcome our TonTon overlord

Also can't wait for Vangelus to do Siege Megatron and the most adorable of the Weaponizers, BRUNT!
you got the really cool touch.
He returns!
Just picked this one up two days ago
MP44, SS44, (I think SS38 actually came out last year), both versions of Voyager Siege Optimus AND that "Leader" Siege Optimus (the Galaxy Convoy/Cybertron Optimus rendition), at least one MP10 KO, and I think Golden Lagoon MP10...yeah, that's A Prime Problem for sure.

Just in time for Earthrise! Siege Optimus Prime. I hope you review Megatron as well.
The fact that Siege Megatron and Optimus come with Melee weapons sold me on getting them.
The Studio Series Bumblebee film Prime was my choice for ideal G1 styled Op even if it's not perfect GEEWUN. He looks awesome.
You should get the earthrise optimus prime
You absolutely HAVE to review the Earthrise Optimus.
I can confirm. I have no silver paint splatter upon my chest
Really want a Toxitron repaint.
Easily one of the best Primes out there imo. Of course, if you're not into the battle damage, you can get the cel-shaded version instead. Or, y'know, Earthrise Prime, who looks stunning (turned out they were going for the blue hands version this whole time)

I only have one optimus figure because they're all mostly the same to me and because decepticons FTW but this review makes me want to get this figure.
Part of me would kind of like if his vehicle referenced the design seen in "The Flames of Boltax!" or that mental artillery/box thing seen in the first marvel comic, but they both might have lead to a worse figure. Great video as always!
This review is very late.....but i still love it!!!
I love The Siege Optimus Prime. It's like a miniature Masterpiece; to be honest, I only wish that he were a bit taller and that backpack folded in a bit more evenly.
I'll laugh when the Earthrise Optimus Prime gets a compare n' contrast review on this channel. I'll wait for that one to release as well.
The only difference between them is the trailer.
@TwistedGaming918 It's a bit more than that, Earthrise Prime has a retooled transformation scheme and reuses the window chest joints for a Matrix gimmick...
But yeah, I'd rather get a Roller Weaponizer with the Trailer for my Siege Prime than another Earthrise Prime...

Also Nemesis Prime re use/Repaint black and feel please hasbro
You mean the iconic pose after he goes ‘Megatron must be stopped’
I want to pick one up but I think I'm going to wait a little longer for a Netflix version to come out.
Spoiler alert: that never happened unless you count Nemesis. I did, however, get the Earthrise Netflix version of Prime which looks great.
@@QuantaSolace Hot.
6:44 Mmm, that ASMR, tho... XD
Here is a nice surprise after a hard day at work. 👍
Nice review, see you in 3 months
real weird to invite yourself over but I guess I can clear the couch
Is it me or does the font look different?
Im getting this for my Birthmas. Birthday/Christmas
the Siege 2 SR Optimus is an Instrument of Destruction.
just played against one last week that had 2 Energy Packs on him >.
@@Vangelus Even I'm not that petty, I run him with Smashdown and Vanguard, and if I'm lucky I'll be able to get two Matrixes of Leadership and maybe a cargo trailer
I was just saying last week that I think it's time for me to add another Optimus Prime to my collection.
#spreadingthejuices
This figure was soo good I love that Prime, I can’t wait wait for Earthrise Prime
Wow a video.
Whooo! New review! :D
Where the hell have you been?
literally 5 inches away in a social media tab I just thought it'd be rude if I ate loudly
6:43 that was creepy
He lives.....what kind of puny body is that?
I’d definitely want the Nemesis Prime version.
Some pretty sexy camera work.
holy shit it's the subtitles, how the fuck have you been my dude we've missed you
Love your content
HEEEEE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!
More review pls
Finally!
Holy shit HE'S a live
This guy was probably the floppiest toy I have gotten in a long time. Everything from the knees up was extremely loose, it couldnt even stand up and the arms couldnt hold a pose.
Im use to having to fix some joints on figures but jeez.
1 year later :)
Welcome back bud lol.
Yo, it's ol' toy maverick!
MIssed you man!
how did you shoot getting this demonetized with all the dirty splatter talk?
