I'm thrilled Takara took the chance on this. I hope it sells well enough to get dozens of other characters. Prowl, Hot Rod, Devastator... all of them really!
A fully articulated year one G1 Devastator would be so baller. Hasbro and Takara Tomy have damn near mastered their engineering skills, no doubt they’ll be able to pull that off!
It will thing with transformer buy toy fans they buy almost every new takara and hasbro makes mostly g1 all time they buy years later they sell it off if there lucky
Now THIS is a retro upgrade done right. I'm actually surprised that HasTak didn't do this kind of stuffs before in one of their numerous reissues of G1 toys.
Even a quick dirty video from you is extremely professional and immense quality. Personally I loved it being out so quick rather than a delay - I think you have room for both in your repertoire
Excellent review, glad i found your channel. This toy is something else, makes me feel like mum is in the kitchen making dinner, and dad will be home in half an hour, then we'll have dinner together. I have a LOT of other toys that I love. No other toy, ever has made me feel loved.
I got the G2 Prime (G1 with black trailer and voice box) for my 9th birthday. Of all my birthdays as a child, it is the only one I remember the main present I got because of how much it meant to me to have an Optimus Prime. I still have that toy about 30 years later. And as much as I loved it, this version improves on that in EVERY way.
In the 80s, I lost Prime's hands on the school bus. One of the other kids found them and threw them out the window. I'm glad to see I won't have that problem with the integrated hands. ;) Excellent review. Looking forward to getting this in my collection. Such an amazing upgrade to a classic.
I think the most important aspect in a review is how passionate the reviewer is to what he's reviewing makes the difference. We can find facts and specs easily online nowadays but the emotions and reactions from the product is what makes it unique from all other channels
Had this pre ordered since last year & finally received it yesterday.. I’m blown away by this figure! Such a game changer, now I need all of the G1 figures to get the missing link treatment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is super awesome. I would love to see them take this approach with the entire G1 line up to and thru the movie version. Cleaning up quality issues and replacing stickers with paint and prints would be awesome.
Pre-ordered C-02 what feels like a lifetime ago. Waiting patiently for my Prime to make its way to me in Canada. Mulled over getting C-01 versus C-02 but I'm glad I went the animated deco route after you showed it'll hitch up to the classic trailer easy peasy. Thanks for this! and I agree...great review !
My man, I got this today, and I'm here with you on how giddy you are for this toy. I got past the transformation section of my review and just started playing with it and havent stopped. It's soooo good. Early figure of the year contender! Always great work here, Sixo! Back to work I go!
I just got my hands on him myself, and he's sucha joy to handle as my first ever 1st-party Convoy. I only have one minor gripe is that I can't get the legs to peg back together in cabby mode for some reason. Otherwise, I absolutely love everything that came with this toy.
Aaay managed to get one of these the other day. I was never one to want to colllect the original G1 figures but felt fond of G1 Optimus so this figure is a real treat.
I love this toy. As an old school Transformers fan this hit the spot. I missed out on the original and thought MP 10 was all I needed but I am so glad I put this and the toy version on pre-order. What a time to be a Transformers fan!
It's so wierd seen g1 prime move like that but is so truly amazing that you can't just not love it. I really hope this sells well so they keep making them so Wheeljack gets this treatment, that I'd buy without a doubt
This video, more than any photos or videos elsewhere on the Interwebs, really sold it for me. Thanks, I guess? Truth is, it was your candor and genuine enjoyment of the figure which you shared here, that came across so effectively (and convincingly! More so than any of your previous scripted video reviews. I cannot wait to see your review of C-01 once you get it in hand.
Great job on the review. I admit seeing what this version can do peaked my interest as looking back at some of the G1 originals they looked nothing like the comic or cartoon. I’m kind of enjoying the more cartoon accurate version like the Studio Series 86 line, but this Optimus is nice! Love the articulation!
I enjoyed this unscripted review, it feels more natural and relatable since your love for these figures, and the enjoyment they give you, is actually fealt. I think that's very important. Thanks for creating these videos.
It’s gorgeous. Love the unscripted, naked reactions to the figure. Slightly worried about those opening hands getting loose over time and he can’t hold his gun. Wish they’d stayed solid molds.
I just received my toy deco one with the trailer. Be very careful with the legs. The sliders don't lock into place at the hip in bot mode, so a fair bit of pressure is put on these sliders when manipulating the legs. And rotating joint at the thigh can be incredibly stiff, because of the chrome. You have to be very careful otherwise you will possibly snap the leg off. I would suggest untransforming him and holding the top of the thigh and the middle of the thigh as best you can, and turning the thigh rotation joint very carefully until the joint is loosened up. Also, while there's no launcher for Roller like the original toy, the switch is moulded into the back of the trailer for accuracy. But amazingly, the missile launchers on the drone are fully working (!!!!) With a range of at least 2m. This is something I haven't seen in a toy for about 30 years. :D
@@SixoTF I very gingerly rotated them a few times just to loosen them up. And it worked. As for the hips, I cut a little bit of a rubber eraser and slid that in to the gap between the two sliders. It keeps them from moving inward. But they will flex outwards, and there's no way to stop that. For a while I thought the transformation instructions had a step missing. Because it looks like that should be away to lock them into place using the piece of plastic down the back that creates Prime's butt crack. But there isn't.
I'm always more of a fan of the non-scripted, off-the-cuff reviews of figures. Whether they be positive first glances OR negative. It helps me to truly understand where my priorities stand with a figure i'm interested in compared to the reviewers. Amazing job on this one, my toy-colors edition will be here tomorrow (as I'm typing this) and this just made me all the more hyped for mine!
This looks incredible, I cannot wait to get these figures. I had to preorder both versions because if I only got one I'd forever be kicking myself for not having the other. It's already my figure of the year and I don't even have it in-hand yet. I forgot how much chrome adds to a figure's appearance, it really does make a toy look more premium than just silver paint does. Also not to be all Gewunner but they really have never topped the G1 box aesthetic, have they?
Very excited for this I'm very glad to hear of Die-cast and I had no idea the fists were attached. Will definitely be getting C-02, 01 is a hit much for me.
Very awesome review and product i think i will buy just the cab missing link and when the retro g1 animated color came out later i will use the trailer for both figure !!!
When you think you've seen it all, you get surprised by something like this. More off-the-cuff reviews would be nice, especially for small or grouped toys you feel like gushing about. Would be neat!
I appreciate this quick impression! Im anticipating my toy version delivery tomorrow and this was such a treat to just wet my appetite for my incoming toy goodness! I can’t wait to see the full review and those glorious photos you’ll take!!
Looking at this thing of beauty, I made a joke with my online friends calling him DreamMix TV Optimus, because in that game, he was basically the toy design with more articulation
Wow!!! I remember having this toy when I was a child and...gave it away!!! 😭...I have preordered the updated C-01 Optimus Prime and watching your review (thanks a lot!)...makes me very excited to have it "once more" on my hands...thanks for sharing @Sixo.😍
I just pre ordered missing link Prime w. trailer, because of your video. I didn't want to, but yeah, here we are. I want a new g1 Megs now...make it happen.
Banger of a figure! My toy version just touched down in LA. Not sure if I'll be able to resist opening it. I'll be seeing Peter Cullen next weekend and debating having this or a poster I got from Geoff Senior signed. Of all the 1st world problems, that one may take the biscuit!
Great review! I’ve got the original g1 and I also gave the Japanese new years convoy … and I’m still over the moon about this. Watching the reviews gets me even more excited
It's a beautiful toy. I got the toy colour version for maximum nostalgia. I was a tiny bit disappointed that the spring-loaded launcher for Roller in the trailer is absent.
there's plenty of room in the world for more Sixo Reviews I say ^_^. seriously, this was a stellar review for a 'first lush' unboxing. that Prime is gorgeous, and if they keep the Missing Link line going I think they need to hit Starscream next.
i'm loving the influx of reviews of this guy but this is the first review on this version which I did preorder because imo the one with the trailer is just too expensive for me and he's going to get here in march so can't wait!!
Awesome first impressions. I'd love to get it but I've slowly down on collecting and don't want to spend the big bucks on these anymore. I maaaaay have to have an exception for this guy though. He was one of my oldest figures.
I’ll add to the chorus, superb review @SixoTF 😊 one thing I enjoyed here with this style was that your enthusiasm really bursts through. I have this ordered and hoped to not watch any reviews before I had it, partly because I didn’t want my enthusiasm to be impeded. However, because you were so joyful I found myself grinning like a buffoon and my anticipation has only grown such that now I can’t wait for my own C-02 to arrive. Cheers again. TTFN.
I was mildly worried that the legs would look really weird because the thighs are so thin while the torso is so big and bulbous, but they actually turned out pretty good!
Always happy to get more Sixo videos. Really looking forward to this release - I've been trying to explain to my son that I have an Optimus Prime on the way that's an updated version of the toy I most wanted when I was his age.
Loved your review i cant wait for the old color way one thats what i ordered i really hope we see more g1 toys remastered like this especially megatron
I’m waiting on my Hasbro Pulse pre-orders (got both C01 and C02) to dispatch, but once the toy version hit Amazon Japan a few days ago for immediate shipping, I bought one anyway so I’m watching reviews now to bide time until the Amazon JP order gets delivered and will keep the Pulse C01 MIB once that ships.
I started making my own design to add articulation to the G1 toy years ago, I wanted to eventually model and 3D print it, but now I don't have to, this is perfect! I also had the fists tuck in under the grille, I'm glad they decided to make it this way and not try to emulate the World's Smallest Transforming Optimus, which had the fists molded straight into the forearms. The proportions might have looked more normal had they gone that way, but it would not have evoked the original toy so well. WST Optimus might also be a good figure to photograph with the Missing Link version, as it stands out to me as the only other time they reimagined the G1 mold in its entirety (albeit on a smaller scale). More than any other figure, I would hope that Missing Link makes a G1 Megatron next, simply because I've never owned one, and it might be the only way we would be likely to ever get an official G1 Megatron that turns into a gun again.
Funnily enough i think the stickers might push me to get this guy! I much prefer the toy look over the flat cartoon accurate look for this toy but also don't have the money for the full combat deck version!
I had the with-trailer version on order from Pulse, but changed my mind. I have one of the G1 remakes from 2020, and that's good enough so far. If I can find a figure-only release somewhere at a decent price, that might be tempting. But I'd have no use for all the extra stuff like the trailer... Excellent work!
I've held off buying one of the various g1ish takes on Optimus for so many years. This is it. This is the logical conclusion I've been waiting for. I will buy exactly one g1 Optimus Prime, then I'll never need to buy one again
Great unboxing vid! I was already excited for this, but then your excitement further added to my excitement. I really do hope we get more Missing Link figures.
I have been very impatiently waiting for mine and this video just made that wait so much harder! It's a fantastic toy and I really enjoyed the review. Your excitement really came through!
I want this guy so badly, but he’s just a little too pricey for me. I’m glad he turned out as well as he did, and that people who are getting him are enjoying him as much as they are!
Great review, though I like the edited ones too! What I loved about this one is the genuine reactions. If you decide to go this way, or the more edited way, I'm ok with both.
To further explain my feedback, I always thought your edited videos were sublime, a cut above the rest of transformers and toy reviewers out there. Your choice of soundtrack, your editing, your script, everything top notch. These unscripted videos you did, however, show a more natural, genuine side of your style of review, something more emotional, but equally passionate. Its as if to say your scripted reviews talks about your apreciation of a figure and your unscripted talks about your emotions@@SixoTF
Your quick review is more in-depth than most people’s scripted reviews! Great toy, great review.
Haha thanks so much! I can’t help myself
Agreed.
Damn it. I did this to myself. I told myself I didn't need it and then chose to click on a Sixo post about it.
When will I ever learn -never-
Hahaha
The same thing happened to me.
I'm thrilled Takara took the chance on this. I hope it sells well enough to get dozens of other characters. Prowl, Hot Rod, Devastator... all of them really!
Same!
At the very least, megatron, starscream, soundwave, and... oo a grimlock would be cool
A fully articulated year one G1 Devastator would be so baller. Hasbro and Takara Tomy have damn near mastered their engineering skills, no doubt they’ll be able to pull that off!
It will thing with transformer buy toy fans they buy almost every new takara and hasbro makes mostly g1 all time they buy years later they sell it off if there lucky
@@dragonball3166, I just had a stroke reading that, say that again?
Now THIS is a retro upgrade done right.
I'm actually surprised that HasTak didn't do this kind of stuffs before in one of their numerous reissues of G1 toys.
Me too!
Honestly i'm most surprised third parties didn't produce any g1 upgrade sets,
It's so sureal seeing this.
The hand fix alone is just so good.
Isn’t it?
@@SixoTF No? a basic hand hinge isn't anything impressive past 1992, nostalgia seems to be rotting your faculties pal.
@@symbiote1982pk
You sound like a cool dude, I bet you're fun at parties...
@@symbiote1982pkThe stick up your rear must be impeding your ability to enjoy things, pal.
Absolutely love the fact that we’ve gotten more Sixo this week! I’ll watch in any format- but this has certainly been great to watch regardless!
Thank you, that’s so kind!
I want moar of these. Missing Link Jazz in particular, his G1 toy was pretty cartoon accurate aside from his legs being pinned together.
Ooh yeah, that would be amazing
I would love a Missing Link Jazz or a one like the new reissues that would go with the recent Hot Rod and Hound.
Your positive voice and obvious love for this hobby is really an inspiration.
That’s so nice, thank you!
The ratchets and rubber wheels are a pleasant surprise that I hadn't noticed yet in written reviews or previews. Also that foam insert 🤤🤤🤤
Oh I know! I didn’t even mention the insert haha
@@SixoTF @dmc2008 I totally popped for the styrofoam!
Finally, the first video that shows all the poses he can make
Imagine having this G1 articulated version back in the late 80's playing with it while the other kids have their normal G1 version. :)
Ha right
Next, I dare them to make a Missing Link Magnus where the car carrier transforms into armour with the same level of articulation.
Defo
Even a quick dirty video from you is extremely professional and immense quality. Personally I loved it being out so quick rather than a delay - I think you have room for both in your repertoire

To this day, I still wonder when Sixo will tell us “more about that later”
Later :)

I’ve just opened mine - he’s simply wonderful and has such a magical feeling to him! I absolutely adore him! 😀

I completely forgot about this! Already knew I wanted him, now after watching I want him even more!
Nice!
Genuinely excited for this thing to release here. Got the toy version as I don't have a g1 version yet so this is the perfect stand in for me.
Nice! Hope you enjoy him
Can’t wait to see how they figure out missing link Megatron
Same
After 40 odd years, Prime can finally have a seat.
True
This is every 80's kids dream come true.
True!
I love this toy. As an old school Transformers fan this hit the spot. I missed out on the original and thought MP 10 was all I needed but I am so glad I put this and the toy version on pre-order. What a time to be a Transformers fan!

Getting onto this early rather than releasing a review months after the fact really makes this more of a must-see
Noted
It's so wierd seen g1 prime move like that but is so truly amazing that you can't just not love it. I really hope this sells well so they keep making them so Wheeljack gets this treatment, that I'd buy without a doubt
WJ would be amazing
I wasn't excited with the announcement but now seeing it in hand that is changing!
Great
This guy has been a long time coming. Now, if only we could get a release of the prototype Unicron from when the animated movie came out :D
☝️☝️☝️
I'm getting both these figures now. I remember beimg 7 or 8 and getting the original in 85 for christmas. (maybe 84 Christmas). Holy crap he is nice.
Very
Hey good on you, you're the first I saw that noticed the Matrix chamber comes out and there ARE still seats in the cab!
Ha thanks
If this means that we would be getting more videos more often then I’m all for it.
Loved this style of unboxing videos just as much as your more polished videos, so no complaints from me if you keep on doing both 👌
Aww thanks, that’s great!
This video, more than any photos or videos elsewhere on the Interwebs, really sold it for me. Thanks, I guess?

Haha sorry
One of the best remakes I've ever seen in a vintage-style toy. I'd honestly buy it in a heartbeat if it was a bit less pricey.
It’s not the cheapest for sure
I'm always more of a fan of the non-scripted, off-the-cuff reviews of figures. Whether they be positive first glances OR negative. It helps me to truly understand where my priorities stand with a figure i'm interested in compared to the reviewers.

Nice!
Very excited for this I'm very glad to hear of Die-cast and I had no idea the fists were attached. Will definitely be getting C-02, 01 is a hit much for me.
Nice!
Imagine what wonders they could pull off doing a vintage makeover for G1 Megatron with this sort of modernized articulation
Oh I am
Man, I passed on this fig, but you're making it look dangerously tempting...
😉
Sixto these were my thoughts, it's so special I put it back in box until next play time
Haha!
Very awesome review and product i think i will buy just the cab missing link and when the retro g1 animated color came out later i will use the trailer for both figure !!!
Good idea!
amazing figure. Now I need a missing link Megatron, Soudwave, and Starscream.
Same
I have ordered this with trailer, super excited! I hope Hasbro brings us more missing link figures. Take my money, I’m all about G1.
I’d love to see more
I had to have both missing links to go with my commemerative reissue and my well used and played with Prime cab from 1984
Your work, as always, is top-tier... and boy is this one absolute stunner of a figure. Thanks for giving us a prime look at it!
Thanks so much!
When you think you've seen it all, you get surprised by something like this.
More off-the-cuff reviews would be nice, especially for small or grouped toys you feel like gushing about. Would be neat!

I started making my own design to add articulation to the G1 toy years ago, I wanted to eventually model and 3D print it, but now I don't have to, this is perfect! I also had the fists tuck in under the grille, I'm glad they decided to make it this way and not try to emulate the World's Smallest Transforming Optimus, which had the fists molded straight into the forearms. The proportions might have looked more normal had they gone that way, but it would not have evoked the original toy so well. WST Optimus might also be a good figure to photograph with the Missing Link version, as it stands out to me as the only other time they reimagined the G1 mold in its entirety (albeit on a smaller scale).
More than any other figure, I would hope that Missing Link makes a G1 Megatron next, simply because I've never owned one, and it might be the only way we would be likely to ever get an official G1 Megatron that turns into a gun again.
I feel like they sort of have to do a Megatron… maybe? I hope so!
Funnily enough i think the stickers might push me to get this guy! I much prefer the toy look over the flat cartoon accurate look for this toy but also don't have the money for the full combat deck version!
Could be a good option! Not sure how they’ll apply over the moulded detail
I had the with-trailer version on order from Pulse, but changed my mind. I have one of the G1 remakes from 2020, and that's good enough so far. If I can find a figure-only release somewhere at a decent price, that might be tempting. But I'd have no use for all the extra stuff like the trailer... Excellent work!
Thanks so much!
Great review as always.
Am I the only one who would have preferred had they used the cartoon accurate head from the Device Label retool years ago?
Thank you! You're not the only one as I have seen others mention it, although personally I'm happy they didn't
16:10 completes my childhood 😊
❤️
absolutely beautiful, i only wish i wasn't forced to get the trailer for the toy version
Hopefully the trailer will be special too
I've held off buying one of the various g1ish takes on Optimus for so many years. This is it. This is the logical conclusion I've been waiting for. I will buy exactly one g1 Optimus Prime, then I'll never need to buy one again
Perfect!
Fantastic !!! Thank you for your review of this Masterpiece 😊🙏👍
My pleasure!
Yes please I adore the unboxing style here. Absolutely love it! And the full reviews!
Noted, thank you!
Great unboxing vid! I was already excited for this, but then your excitement further added to my excitement. I really do hope we get more Missing Link figures.
Thank you!
I have been very impatiently waiting for mine and this video just made that wait so much harder! It's a fantastic toy and I really enjoyed the review. Your excitement really came through!
Thanks so much! Hope yours arrives v soon
I could see soundwave being any easy choice for them to do next
I could see it
Great review Sixo! Keep these videos coming please!
Great review. And my word, that thing is glorious.
Thanks! And yes
I want this guy so badly, but he’s just a little too pricey for me. I’m glad he turned out as well as he did, and that people who are getting him are enjoying him as much as they are!
Sorry to hear!
Great review, though I like the edited ones too! What I loved about this one is the genuine reactions. If you decide to go this way, or the more edited way, I'm ok with both.
OK great, thanks for the thoughts
To further explain my feedback, I always thought your edited videos were sublime, a cut above the rest of transformers and toy reviewers out there. Your choice of soundtrack, your editing, your script, everything top notch. These unscripted videos you did, however, show a more natural, genuine side of your style of review, something more emotional, but equally passionate. Its as if to say your scripted reviews talks about your apreciation of a figure and your unscripted talks about your emotions@@SixoTF
@@zaffarognes aw thanks I really appreciate that
