5:05 Man, the jump in screen accuracy from ‘07 to RotF is astounding! Just took one more movie and good engineering to give us the masterpiece that was RotF leader class Optimus
The problem is that practically the entire line of 2007 toys was based on concept art. Designers didn't have neither the actual finished look nor the amount of files they have now to better replicate what is displayed on the screen
Still have mines cause I remember being a kid and having an idea of what a perfect movie Optimus figure would look like and one day walked into a store and just saw it in person and was absolutely astounded. I mean I think it speaks to how good it was when the Masterpiece is just a slightly reengineered version of this
The only issue with ROTF Prime is that he was a pain to transform. A lot of reviews at the time complained about how complicated the process was.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio it seems complicated at first but it legit only takes a few minutes to transform compared to some masterpieces that take 10 minutes and only a few steps are scary to do because the instructions don't communicate it well enough, but when you know what to do it is so easy to transform.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Fair enough, but at least it ain't the nightmare that is MPM4.
I remember crying my ass out because I wanted this figure for Christmas back in 2007. God, my addiction to Transformers figures is coming back.
I had a lot of fun with my 2007 Optimus Prime, still can’t believe I was playing with leader class Optimus and Megatron when I was 5-6. Also the Night Watch version was my favourite between the two I had.
“His arms are just bricks with fists on them”
“All the better to hit you with, Megatron”
16 years old?!?!??! I got this as a kid when it came out... and it wasn't even my introduction to transformers... holy shit can't believe it's been that long...
Most original 2007 movie toys are literally the perfect fusion of a simple yet high quality child's toy and high detail movie design + aesthetics. Love the balance between both worlds. This guy & Leader Class Megatron are literally among them.
Some of them are way too ROTF-like complex like Leader Class Brawl, Voyager Class Ironhide & Ultimate Bumblebee. They can be a nightmare & time-consuming for kids to transform.
Weird you bring Leader Brawl. I thought his transformation was super simple. He was the first Transformers I was able to transform without needing the steps.
There is no leader that can top this as a toy, it's just simply amazing
I mean... the Revenge of the fallen Leader class Optimus is also amazing but this figure like a really close second
ROTF Leader is better.
Revenge of the Fallen? Dark of the Moon with all the Jetwing accessories?
@@dkkanofkash8798 yeah how do people forget about that one
@@Cinder_the_Art_Gal8144 I have the rotf leader, i have it displayed on my shelf but i don't transform it or play with it that much. The 2007 is better if you want a big toy truck to just have fun with and the rotf if better is you want an accurate robot and truck mode. I do agree though, that the rotf is great, and it is probally one of my all time favorite figures.
You should get your hands on the nightwatch optimus variant. There's a US and a worldwide release, The only difference is on the US release it has energon blue isntead of black.
For someone who actually has this mold but not this color version back way back when this was my first ever leader class my sister got this figure for me I have the night watch version the ultra Magnus colored version if you will is what I like but the thing with this thing is the head when you're doing your articulation it's actually its own separate piece it has led Zeppelin the eyes but that's really about it there's no wires connecting it the reason why because I've tested it on mine and everything still seems to work
I got this toy when the first movie came out, I was seven at the time. Also got the Megatron from the movie but I always loved this Optimus. Lost it like a year later. Spent the last decade wondering if I'd ever find which mold it was again and then you upload this. You've helped towards my goal of getting this piece of my childhood back. Thank you so much Toy Guy.
Huh… Liam Neeson as Optimus Prime… I’d kind of like to here that 🤔
I was 10 in 07
A legendary fig and the start of awesome prime toys from the movies. Pinnacle of inspiration besides G1
Man wish you got the 10 year anniversary one as it has a good deco similiar to rotf leader but loaded with chrome
Man, there were so many toy versions of this prime design, and then AoE and TLK got like 3 figures and that's it, really sucks, since I actually like the knight look, I still hope for a studio series of it
What's wrong with dragonstorm? I have the leader class dragonstorm and I enjoy the figure(s?) Like granted the dragon mode isn't very posable in the hind legs, and stormreign is a bit weak on his own, but together, dragonicus and stormreign look aesthetic af to me, and combining them into a dragon is fun.
Dragonstorm breaks easily. When I got them out of the box, the dragon heads broke and snapped off because their hinges were on rubber plastic. They had a design flaw and charged them for $60! High prices don’t always mean high quality.
I have the night watch prime it's a little beat up and rusty if you want it (back fender is broken but I can fix that before I ship it if you really want it and it's missing a piece or two and the gun but still) I also have the navy blue Ironhide
4:33 Swick, the combination of sick and sweet.
This is one of the few Movie figures where even when I hear the term “Movie Toys” this is immediately the first one I think of. I want this toy SO BADLY. He’s literally him
This is a great toy. I've got the premium deco version of this thing and I honestly really love it. Very underrated figure. ROTF Leader Prime gets all the love but considering when this Prime was made it does so many things right and should be appreciated more.
I had premium too😀
Keep doing the 2007 to 2011 toys I love the reviews I find these really interesting and entertaining 😆
This brought so much nostalgia that I had to dig my copy out. If you don't fold up the heel tab, it'll reduce its tendency to fall backwards. The nightwatch variant was also fairly common in Australia.
07 is still the best TF movie to this date
No

It may be quite “bad” with the truck parts really being seen but not as bad as TF4’s Leader Class.

Cool I got legends arcee from buyer cause you recommended it so thanks! It was only 20 dollars instead of 80!
My 2nd original Transformer, and my 1st original Optimus Prime! I remember I spent a third part of my scholarship to get this massive jewel (And I did that again for the ROTF one 2 years later. 😅), and just like with my first Bumblebee, I enjoyed the heck out of it! It was like a dream come true for me to have a Transformer as big as this Prime, sure it was heavy, and blocky in comparison with how he looks in the movie, and the panel in his right forearm likes to come off easily, but it still was Optimus Prime, my FIRST Optimus Prime! A cool badass representation of my favorite character, and I love it as he is! In all of his blocky and imposing presence! 💪
I've got the Nightwatch version, and I love it! Just so big and chunky.
Is that leader movie accurate?
Not at all.
Is it way too big to be displayed "in scale" in any movieverse display?
Obviously.
Is this one of the best Transformers that I ever handled, who feels good in hand , is fun to transform, and is super RAD looking in both modes?
*HELL YEAH!*
I have it twice BTW. The shiny Premium and the dark-green Nemes-ish Prime.
This used to be my favorite optimus prime toy ever, I had the blue version of it and then my mom dropped a couch on it and it broke.
Back then when leaders (and all classes for that matter) were double the size and half the price
So mad I lost this as a kid
I had both this and the Allspark Power Nightwatch version. I still have the 2007 Leader Megatron on display.
Man, what a blast from the past! I got the nightwatcher prime for my birthday and it was dope! Had I known it was rarer at the time, I would have still had it.
I guess I’m lucky to have dug this out of my closet just yesterday
This is one of the toys from the 2007 movie line that I never had as a kid.
And having picked this up earlier this year, it's a chunky boi.
It's shocking that just 2 years later after thi was made, we got probably the best Movie optimus mold of all time.
I loved this figure so much
me too
I got this figure mid 2022 on eBay
Was able to get it in box UNOPENED for £50
My guess it was some mother trying to get rid off unwanted toys that was never given away😂
You really do love to complain don't you!!!
I have the premium version which had a redesigned head, sword instead of a gun, and had the classic transformation sound effect. I think it was released after the movie came out to mainly focus on having the more accurate head.
I remember having this, but it was called "Nightwatch". I think I still have him, but I'm too lazy to check it. Still a good toy from its time, and the first Transformers toy since the movie release. 🔥💯
I had this as a kid, and I frickin LOVED it. Definitely the Prime toy I have the most nostalgia for
The reason there's no Peter Cullen (or at least sound-alike) is this is the Takara release. Hasbro version informed you he was indeed Optimus Prime.
"Swick
The legendary combo of the classic words “sweet” and “sick” commonly used by very intellectual individuals."
-Urban dictionary
At first I thought "Liam Neeson" would have been a shit choice for Optimus and would have been another Michael Bay blunder, until I told a friend and he reminded me that he's the guy who played Qui-Gon Jin from Star Wars. I take what I thought back if they couldn't get Peter Cullen Liam Neeson could have made a decent Optimus Prime voice.
When it comes to actors I'm usually shit with names but tell me a role they played that I know and I'll know who you're on about in a heartbeat.
Liam Convoy: I don’t know who you are, I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for energon, I can tell you I don’t have cubes, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for bots like you...
Man, leader class changed like America after 9/11
If Liam Neeson..was Optimus
The amount of wisdom he would drop holy shit. This is Qui Gon Jinn we're talking about.
I’m about to do the premium version with the sword. Even tho it’s more like a shank. Lmao
This was a cool figure that I wish I grew up with however this figure reminds me of that bumblebee version that moved and stuff I’d kill for a review on that!!
I didn't know there were two variants of Nightwatch Optimus Prime.
Liam neassen as prime? It would be interesting for sure. I'm curious how well he could have done it.
Ahh, I had so many fond memories of the leader class figure
Bro if that's the same blackout I saw I almost got into a bidding war with you 😂 but I decided to hold off for something else I really wanted
Love your videos but plz for the love of God, learn to audio balance! You talking is fine but the music and toy sounds are way too loud!
Oh man I think was one of my first ever transformers toys, along with movie bumblebee and alternators hound. still impressed my the sheer mass of this thing, mine however never came with the arm cannon, mine has the blade attachment instead. Not sure if this was a different version of the figure or something.
10:54 what about the BB movie Power charge bumblebee since that's technically a leader figure or do you have that already?
i was like "wow he looks better than i remembered, maybe we where too hard in this toy back in the day" then you stood the rotf one next to him and yea... boi looks like a sad sack of shit
also i remember playing with the nightwatch prime and the colours are so nice
I would be super careful with trying to grab a dragonstorm. Not only do the heads end up melted sometimes, but the head hinges also frequently suffer from the same issue with both TR weirdwolf and mindwipe where their rubber parts would seep oil into the plastic part of the hinges and cause them to become extremely brittle and basically shatter.
Please help I’ve had this toy for so long and I can’t put it back in truck mode
3:40 what?! Ive had this figure since its release and not once have i noticed that thats where the batteries go.
At the time I was 2 years old at the time the movie came out but I briefly had a original 07 leader prime and I loved it then I was stupid and gave it to a friend and I regret it to this day
“It’s not a good toy but it’s cool and I have one” is 90% of all late 2000s early 2010s figures and I’m all for it
This is actually one of the few toys that I still have from my childhood but I *really* don't like it.
Wdym “rare UK night watch” I live in the US and had one as a kid, and I find them on eBay all the time
I ended up getting the reissued version for the 10 year anniversary and I was amazed by how fun it was truthfully a amazingly fun figure
This is my first Leader Class Movie Optimus Prime and remember having fun play around with this figure.
Seeing Optimus tbone bumblebee was hilarious thank you sir
I have 2007 leader class, rotf Leader class and Buster Prime and I love them all
Michael wanted Neeson to be Prime!? The hell is wrong with him?
Tf 2007 is as old now as the G1 movie was when I watched it as a kid
This toy is the Bayverse equivalent of a g1 toy if you think about it
Leader class kinda fell off after transformers prime tbh
Engineering that went into this guy is top-notch.
I remember getting the 2007 premium version and that thing was amazing. It had the voice of Peter Cullen, and instead of the Ion cannon, it had the flip out energon blade. Also, it had a different head sculpt. I couldn't get my hands on the 2009 leader class Optimus Prime, so the 2007 one made up for that loss. Man, I forget that I was 5 whenever that movie came out good lord.
My 2006 premium has the transforming noise instead of laser noise or pete
U think u could review revoltech bumblebee
chubby Optimus😭😭😭😭
Do you have the original energon optimus?
This leader class is actually great. Despite the kibble and the fact it's from 2007, it surprised me. Especially the posability.
(Too bad I never own one)
4:42 Yeah, that’s pretty swick.
This is a great simple enough to transform, for the most part child friendly toy to mess with. Always loved how much effort/detail went into the alt mode, and that to date I think this was the last Leader to feature rubber wheels let alone Transformer. Don't quote me on that. Other than the clunky robot mode my only real issue with this guy is the soft plastic/rubbery bits on the ends of the smokestacks. Already have had one snap clean off. Also epic find with the Animated Blackout. One of the few cancelled Animated figs I wished had been released even if it is pretty bad.
one of the coolest things about this guy, to me at least, is that his ankle joints are connected by springs, so you can hyper extend his feet by stretching the foot forwards
I don't remember this Leader Class Optimus having this functionality, because I owned a few & played with them a lot. I think you're referring to another Leader Class Optimus 😅😅
@@wayneshobbygallery I own a 2007 leaders optimus prime...and his feet can be pulled out farther on springs i don't know what to tell you
@@matoro4140 Wait, I finally realized it. I really didn't know there's a spring inside the ankle ball joint. But I seriously won't be doing that since I don't want to risk breaking it 😅😅😅
Sweet, swish, and sick. Swick
Is your finger okay
I have Nightwatch ver. Just love it
Loved this figure! Remember getting this for Christmas. Then I let my friend borrow it a few years later and he came back broke. RIP.
He looks the same as the US release.
I finally upgraded to ROTF Optimus. Glad I didn’t have it as a kid, would of been to complex for me.
Got this when new, the only Bayverse Optimus I own, and its honestly pretty decent. It feels solid and substantial, looks pretty good alongside his brethren. Im a CHUG collector and have always disliked the movie aesthetic so Ive never felt the need to get the ROTF version.
I'm 16 about to be 17
I’m pretty sure the American release of this toy did have lights and sounds, because I remember I had a movie 1 Leader Optimus as a kid and if you pulled down on the grey piece between his windshields his head would look up for some reason, his eyes would blink and he’d say “I, am Optimus Prime!”
I remember loving this guy at the time, but once ROTF Leader Prime came out I never really looked back. And that's kind of a shame as looking back now, he's still not bad. Yeah he's not as complex or as movie accurate as ROTF Prime, but he still has a certain charm to him.
This thing is swick!
I actually have the nightwatch Optimus prime after finding it in a flea market. Honestly brought back a lot of memories cus this Optimus was one I loved as a kid when the movie was out
This toy was VERY well played with and I still own it. It's remained in shockingly good condition though, far better than my RiD Prime which while admittedly older, lost all of It's tires relatively early on and has some pretty major yellowing. Conversely my copy of this toy (premium edition to be fair) the tires are still completely intact, the electronics still haven't worn out, and I think the only thing that's ever broken was a tiny clip that doesn't actually affect anything. So nostalgic for this chonktastic thing
sup and 16 years
I actually had the nightwatch edition of this toy as a kid. Sadly it only lasted a few years before parts broke and eventually went missing (went through 3 younger siblings after me).
I remember when the ROTF leader came out and everyone was waiting for its Night Watch repaint and when it didn't happen, the Night Watch 2007 leader became sought after.
honestly this guy is amazing he may not be as good as rotf but my god he has his charm sometimes i find myself just messing with him being amazed by him i love the figure so much i would do anything for it great review on him! sadly mine is missing the gun rip
This was the Optimus Prime toy I had growing up. I loved this one so much. It’s a shame I had to get rid of it years ago.
One of the only figures which survived my childhood rampage of broken deluxes and scouts, This figure is incredible and has been my only Movie prime I ever owned, It really goes to show how the designers wanted these toys to last decades, unlike most modern CHUG, They really thought ahead back in those days.
Speaking of Dragonstorm, my Copy's *HEADS HAVE FALLEN OFF!!!!* No but Seriously, Two of his Heads came off the Swivel Joint at the base of the Neck... Kill meh (Shout out to you if you get the Movie reference btw Lol)
