When I was young I ADORED Optimus Prime in Energon, I got the original figure with the trailer attachments, Wing Saber and Omega Supreme. Wing Saber was definitely my favorite of the bunch, I wonder if I still have all the figures?
I saw this guy once at a grocery store. Yeah, not a toy store or super market. Grocery store. I snagged him up and I still got him. I always wondered why I couldn't find him anywhere, but I never thought Hasbro gave him a limited release. It's a shame, too. Maybe he can't be posed or anything, but he does his purpose of being a new set of combination components very well. And he just looks great.
I have to say thanks to you for reviewing older A/E/C toys. There are a few out there, sure, but yours are easily the most professional ones out there.
I'v ben a transformers fan sence the 90s I was actually born in 1984. But the Bay movies made me stop colecting so I turned to second hand stores and places like Ebay to find these classic gems. These reviews on youtube show these older toys are awsome and outshine the new ones in menny ways.
Well FansHobby is actually making a 3rd party version of Energon Optimus, they've already made Armada Optimus and are promising Jetfire and Overload for him, so we can assume Wing Saber and Omega Supreme will be coming, as well as, presumably, Cybertron Optimus, Wing Saber and Leobreaker.
This guy and Prime are the basis of one of my favourite fan modes i've ever made. Prime is the torso, Wing Sabre combines as the flight mode and the legs fold round the back to give shoulder cannons, Armada overload (yes, crossover) becomes the legs and energon tidal wave becomes the feet and a wing set
I do like this combination, but i don't regret not getting wing saber when i was younger. He's cool, but when you can have Omega Supreme, why bother? I do like the idea that Wing Saber can combine with the Prime force. That's so freaking cool. The combiner era was the toy design at it's best
just grabbed this, never saw in the store when he came out, nice to be able to combine now. I live his block-iness because I live the brick style g1 stuff. easily one of the best energon toys imo.
So 2 wing sabers, use all red bits for amrs and legs for some sort of "sonic wing mode" (yes I know we had that in cybertron) and then use all the blue bits for a "heavy artillery mode"
This figure was out when I just started to realise that being an adult didn't mean I coudn't collect Transformers anymore! ( thanks internet! lol ) but even though I liked the look of it I never picked it up before it left the shops in the UK and it is pretty hard to find for a reasonable price now. I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure the version I saw in UK shops was carded rather than boxed. Maybe a European release? I came REALLY close to buying him in Tesco one day but I bought Tidal Wave and some minicons instead I think. Great review as always though.
I'm almost 35 and I decide I wanted the combaticons/Bruticus combiners cause I never had a combiner when I was getting 90s transformers. Got a rid decepticons/Ruinationinstead but still awsome.
1 thing i'd really want to see are 2 wing saber figures and 2 optimus primes. Split the wing sabers apart into a set of red arms and red feet, repeat the process for a set of blue legs and blue set of arms. now add the red arms and feet set onto 1 optimus and the the blue limbs go onto the second optimus.
Whenever I see a reviewer doing a video on Wing Saber, it makes me super jealous because I have Optimus and Omega Supreme, but I never got Wing Saber!! *kicks self in the face* Great review! XD
He did show his altmode once in the series but was not clearly seen because optimus was hanging from him whilst flying and he powerlinked to optimus directly after that instead of first transforming.
He was orginally called saber and he was a guard that never transformers in show but he was severally damaged by megaton so they upgraded him into wing saber and he did show off his alt mode as wing saber but not saber
Usually single main figures tends to be and look better than their combined mode, but here it's the total opposite... The main problem with figures that tend to combine is often the fact that one of the modes will look not that great mostly if you compare to the show where the designers tend to deform either modes to make them look good. This also happen with a vehicle or robot mode ... Though here wingsabers lack of posability is reminescent of his twin combiner modes and the way it actually combines. most figures when it splits in half have the head going into one of the sides. Though wing saber is king of supposed to be a full armor / weapon bay for Prime in his own and it pretty much uses some sort of symbolix way to do that because in the show the combining sequence looks great.
7:34 "My drill will pierce the heavens!" - Optimus (probably) 10:35 Air Master Burst maybe? I like the Cannon mode better because Optimus looked more balanced than the Wing Mode.
I think the designers were mainly focused on the combination aspect more than the figure, I think that was Superlinx's main thing. Edit: Yeah from the transformation alone Wing Saber was never meant to pose. Lol.
Watching this video makes me think you could get a couple more awesome combinations if you had TWO Wingsabers for Optimus to combine with, shame they're so rare really :-(
I just realized something.... In the original Transformers V, Optimus Prime (Ginrai) was mortally wounded by Deszaras (main baddy). Sky Saber had to "remodel" him into Victory Leo to save his life, resulting into Prime combining as a power up for Sky Saber to form Victory Saber. Now on Transformers Superlink (Energon) the creator turned everything around, having Sky saber be the subordinate, be the one killed, and be the one turned into a power up. Meh okay...
found a japanese one at a second hand shop and bought it, word of warning you are gonna have a hard time finding those guns or barrels if its missing them, had to hit up mercari for someone selling a set of orphaned legs for those something of an extra note even if it is complete, the friction joint in the shoulder that it hinges on is easily worn down so it might not be a bad idea to drill it out and replace it with a pin if yours is badly worn, i had to to get any use out of it
Can i have a suggestion which source i can buy Wing saber from with a reasonable price? I've loved wing saber for probably since Transformer Energon was released.
Problem I had when I was younger and had him was wanting another one. I wanted to have two and do my own combining with Prime. As for Gundam colors, I'd say Wing Zero or Burning Gundam match best.

Did you find em?
The flying mode is called "wing optimus" and the cannon mode is called "artillery optimus".

and the award for most painful head transformation go's to energon wingsaber. oh man.
3rd party companies need to make a combiner wars version for CW prime.
Andrew Soble I agree. that would be pretty cool
Andrew Soble
or takara

So, true crappy toys combine to something awesome. That's actually nice. Too bad I'm missing both figures.^^

Jordan Lunnon that sounds so fantastic
I'd love to see pictures of the fan mode
I do like this combination, but i don't regret not getting wing saber when i was younger. He's cool, but when you can have Omega Supreme, why bother? I do like the idea that Wing Saber can combine with the Prime force. That's so freaking cool. The combiner era was the toy design at it's best
Not to mention he's overpriced everywhere now (like over $300). I could buy 2 genuine Mpms with this guy.
I just got Energon Wing Saber off of eBay, yesterday, I can't wait for it to come, so I can combined him with Optimus Prime.
This guy can recreate cliffjumper's death from the bumblebee movie
LMAO
Pfft!!🤦🏻♂️Jesus Christ!!😂😂😂😂😂
He splits in half for the first time right in front of Mirage, and Mirage freaks out.
He is to energon what Overload was to Armada.
A barely poseable brick that exists as a Super Mushroom for Prime?
At least Wing Saber worked out better in Cybertron. As did Prime for that matter.
jesus, that canon mode is awesome. looks like one toy instead of two combined, which always makes me happy.
it's like code red and code blue from time force aka Sword and Gun
It does remind me of Power Ranger Time Force's Time shadow due to the vehicle form and the two ways of combining with Prime
just grabbed this, never saw in the store when he came out, nice to be able to combine now. I live his block-iness because I live the brick style g1 stuff. easily one of the best energon toys imo.
Does his vehicle mode remind anyone else of Power Rangers Time Force?
+JTKillien fuck Yeah
Yeah that wing robot who acted like an exo armor for the Time robot
Came to the commons to say this
Yes
Time Shadow
Wing sabers plane mode reminds me a lot of v-stealth from machine robo rescue
yep
Mr all names totally
Ikr
I have had this transformer (secondhand and broken but still cool) for 5 years and I just found out today his name. I am so excited!
This was the reveiw that defenetly made me get an Energon Wing Saber. Now I am thankful to have one!!!
Could you imagine getting two Wing Sabers so you could have either 4 jet limbs or 4 blaster limbs?!? That would be ace
So 2 wing sabers, use all red bits for amrs and legs for some sort of "sonic wing mode" (yes I know we had that in cybertron) and then use all the blue bits for a "heavy artillery mode"
epic video :)
awesome review.
when you pulled wing saber apart/in half at 5:05 i thought to myself "FATALITY!"
The vehicle mode reminds me of the Time Shadow from Power Rangers: Time Force.
he dose remind me of a power rangers bot too
Stumbled upon him a collection someone was giving away. After watching this video, I’m thinking that was my luckiest moment.
This figure reminds me of the Time Shadow megazord.
This figure was out when I just started to realise that being an adult didn't mean I coudn't collect Transformers anymore! ( thanks internet! lol ) but even though I liked the look of it I never picked it up before it left the shops in the UK and it is pretty hard to find for a reasonable price now.

Great review as always though.
I'm almost 35 and I decide I wanted the combaticons/Bruticus combiners cause I never had a combiner when I was getting 90s transformers. Got a rid decepticons/Ruinationinstead but still awsome.
Some of the transformers are zord adaptation worthy. This is one of them.
I think Wing Saber Is One of the characters I really like in Transformers Energon.
Wing mode Optimus prime Is fantastic I love It.
it's as aerodynamic as some of the warhammer 40k aircrafts
God that combination looks EPIC!
1 thing i'd really want to see are 2 wing saber figures and 2 optimus primes. Split the wing sabers apart into a set of red arms and red feet, repeat the process for a set of blue legs and blue set of arms. now add the red arms and feet set onto 1 optimus and the the blue limbs go onto the second optimus.
I never saw Optimus or wingsaber in stores, that's why I don't have ether and just about crying right now because of it xP
I Denver getting this thing for Easter and I loved it
"about as aerodynamic as a brick with wings"
Meanwhile the space shuttle just existing.
Finally someone who likes Wing Saber just as I do. Especially the japanese version, Energon misses out too many paint apps.
Man Optimus would be like a beast with two pairs of boots.
It's the Spark of Combination!
I love this video for years
I always liked putting his blue arms on with the leg sockets and having like a punching prime mode.
Holy hell I didn't realise the combiner limbs could sit on the wing-arms.
I need to dig this toy out again.
Character? From Energon? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!?
Whenever I see a reviewer doing a video on Wing Saber, it makes me super jealous because I have Optimus and Omega Supreme, but I never got Wing Saber!! *kicks self in the face* Great review! XD
Haha. as a kid I had wing saber and didn't have Optimus lol
Just for anyone who didn't know, wingsaber can also combine with the voyager classics prime to make the coolest prime combiner ever!
he screems both autobot and, MURRICA! FUCK YA!!
What's funny is he's supposed to be g1 star saber the homage is very obvious plus star saber is a g1 japan only victory protagonist
The Dragonitus FUCK YEA!!
The two different combinations call to mind the Time Force Megazord.
It doesn't have to be aerodynamic, he flies in space! :D
There's no other word that screams louder in my when I see this guy combined with G-Convoy/Fatimus Prime other than "Gattai!" ..
Wing saber is so elegant
I like to call it Prime (WINGED) and Prime Cannon.
He did show his altmode once in the series but was not clearly seen because optimus was hanging from him whilst flying and he powerlinked to optimus directly after that instead of first transforming.
Prior to reformatting, his show model never had an alt. mode. After reformatting into Wing Saber, we saw his new alt. mode plenty of times.
He was orginally called saber and he was a guard that never transformers in show but he was severally damaged by megaton so they upgraded him into wing saber and he did show off his alt mode as wing saber but not saber
"You wanna piece o' me?!"
"No, I want..."
5:06
"TWO!!"
This was my first transformer.

Here because Fans Hobby is making a Wingsaber!
Transformers Energon Wing Saber reminds me of Star Saber from Transformers Victory.
Ummm I think they're the same?(I just think they're the same)
I like the old transformers figure better then the newer ones.
+Donny Dougherty its because he was inspired by star saber thats why he looks like him...
Jetfire48 That makes sense.
wing saber was and is always awesome
7:34 "My drill will pierce the heavens!" - Optimus (probably)
10:35 Air Master Burst maybe?
I like the Cannon mode better because Optimus looked more balanced than the Wing Mode.
If I’m correct his vehicle mode is based off the B2 Spirit
Prime looks like he's been hitting up Dunkin' Donuts too much
Wing saber was based on the B-2 stealth bomber i just realized it
I think the designers were mainly focused on the combination aspect more than the figure, I think that was Superlinx's main thing.
Edit: Yeah from the transformation alone Wing Saber was never meant to pose. Lol.
There is such a thing as the Flying wing stealth bomber
PRETTY COOL
You should get another wing saber so you can have both sets of legs or arm the same color
I kinda miss this era of Super robo Transformers combinations!
@baltmatrix you just convinced me that I should get one and I would like to ask where I can get one?
In wing mode he resembles Star convoy which is cool.
Energon/superlink the series of many g1 references. surpassed only by animated
They could've retooled thrilling 30 Megatron into this guy
That is the power of cartoons
This is the sexiest robot i have ever seen in my entire life
Call me crazy, but now I want these guys, flaws and all.
Not going to lie, this vehicle mode reminds me a lot of the Time Shadow Megazord
It's his Gunner Mode!
Watching this video makes me think you could get a couple more awesome combinations if you had TWO Wingsabers for Optimus to combine with, shame they're so rare really :-(
I actually still have Wing Saber standing tall on my shelf
I'm so glad that you have great video .
His vehicle mode reminds be of the jet mecha in gogo sentai boukenger
Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome! XD. I don't know how many times you said that, but it was plenty enough. lol
It's his gunner mode!
I actually found a junker Wingsaber, body was busted, but I still could use his legs, so I can make a quad cannon mode prime. :D
he was called "Star Saber" in Victory yes
awesome figure. Awesome review.
I swear to God that I've seen this design as a gundam
I just realized something.... In the original Transformers V, Optimus Prime (Ginrai) was mortally wounded by Deszaras (main baddy). Sky Saber had to "remodel" him into Victory Leo to save his life, resulting into Prime combining as a power up for Sky Saber to form Victory Saber. Now on Transformers Superlink (Energon) the creator turned everything around, having Sky saber be the subordinate, be the one killed, and be the one turned into a power up. Meh okay...
Cannon mode probably reminds you of a gundam because of it's white feet with red soles
Just got one and hes a lot smaller than I thought hed be! For some reason he looks big in this video. Cool figure tho!
I love your video s
time force was the american counter part to time ranger so yes he is talking about that
Nice transformers victory reference lol
This is the grandson of Starsaber
Wing sabers vehicle mode is reminiscent to power rangers time force time shadow's vehicle mode.
you forget to open prime's chest, revealing the matrix...its suppose to be open when he goes into super mode or wing/gunner mode optimus..
He did a little later watch the whole video....
found a japanese one at a second hand shop and bought it, word of warning you are gonna have a hard time finding those guns or barrels if its missing them, had to hit up mercari for someone selling a set of orphaned legs for those
something of an extra note even if it is complete, the friction joint in the shoulder that it hinges on is easily worn down so it might not be a bad idea to drill it out and replace it with a pin if yours is badly worn, i had to to get any use out of it
I agree we don't get things like this anymore, let alone of its size and number of paint apps lol
Can i have a suggestion which source i can buy Wing saber from with a reasonable price? I've loved wing saber for probably since Transformer Energon was released.
Problem I had when I was younger and had him was wanting another one. I wanted to have two and do my own combining with Prime. As for Gundam colors, I'd say Wing Zero or Burning Gundam match best.
Count how many times he says really p.s HE SAYS IT A LOT!!!!!!
The design of the vehicle mode and a transformation makes me think of Power Rangers time force
super awesome
