This Prime design really came into its own when combined with the other gimmick figures made for him, especially Wing Saber. I hope Fans Hobby is going to make a Wing Saber to go along with this one.
Ah yes, that time when Optimus decided "You know those teenagers with attitude and my Aerialbots had the right idea, I should become a combining robot!". In all seriousness, this looks like an awesome figure. I love how they took this design of Prime and gave it a proper modern update.
Honestly, I miss the good old days when Hasbro gave their Transformers figures added features, rather than simply switching between modes. Also, "It's called upgrades. It's called annoying me" gave me a good laugh.
I gotta say, there arent enough words do describe my hatred for Energon Optimus Primes toy/cartoon design. Fans Hobby wields black magic and I absolutely love Energy Commander. I don’t know what it is. I think it’s the extra bit of transformation to slim up primes waist, making the legs look less weird. This is an amazing figure.
i was always a fan of Transformers and the power rangers. When i saw Energon Optimus with his super mode, I literally thought it was the coolest thing i've ever seen so seeing this is just really cool.
@@vast9467 voltron is either all lions or three is vehicle voltron. Power rangers usually has one component that makes up either both arms or both legs.
@@wonderfulwalrus5715That’ll be most of the line for me once I actually finish Earthrise and Kingdom. Didn’t complete the Siege line as some of those figures I didn’t care for such as the COMBAT drones like Cog (although I did buy Cog and Brunt due to them being partnered with Fortress Maximus and Trypticon which I have from the Titans Return line). I’m also not buying figures like the Kingdom Magnus because of the very slight changes to the mold and I like the Siege mold better anyway. I am also collecting Studio Series 86 figures which fit the aesthetic of the WFC and Legacy lines so some of those figures fill the spots of the WFC figures, such as SS86 Arcee.
Maybe make Energon Optimus into a Leader Class (meaning he’ll start as a Voyager, and when he combines, he’ll be the height of a Leader Class since his Powerlink would be the height of any normal leader figure. That would be really cool to see, actually.
"Hot Shot's blaster? Why is he giving it to me?!" Said Optimus about his own damn gun. I kinda want this, but I also kinda wanna wait and see if we get a legacy one. I have a lot of nostalgia for Energon Optimus
Too bad Emgo doesn’t know about Transformers Universe and the Leo Prime(s). I only know about that through Bert the Stormtrooper. But if Emgo got his hands on those, than it would really be a Voltron reference.
One thing I've always liked to do when I was a little kid in this first came out, though I don't remember if they ever did this in the show was I liked to imagine that he could spin the helicopter blades on his arm and use it as a sort of Shield much similar to how they did in Fall of Cybertron with Bruticus
If anyone fron Fans Hobby is watching the video and checking the comments: Please. Energon Wing Saber. You already gave us one half of this combo, we need the other half now.
The only thing disappointing about the figure is the submarine. They should've kept the claw for arm mode so you'd have 2 normal hands, and 2 tool hands.
When i was a kid i wished i got the original figure (i knew it wasn't the best by any means but i still thought it was amazing), i hope someday i can get this improved version now
i hope that fan's hobby makes wingsaber and omega supreme. cause i want them all and also for them to make a jetfire and overload too. so both primes can have their ultimate combinations at the ready.
I'm fairly certain that if you spin the shoulders 180° before installing the arms, you can get another joint to move the shoulder higher than the 45° outward movement you get on just the arm.
I absolutely love your vids. I bought Naval Commander/Energon Prime a while back along with a whole bunch of Fans Toys & Fans Hobby figures. Not in point, you can take the side ears off to rotate his face.
There's also a SpongeBob reference you could've placed in this in which someone said that Energon Prime needed to be left-handed, and you could've moved the right hand's thumb to make it look like he had two left hands.
I never got into energon as much as I did cybertron or armada, but this is sick. Can't wait for what they do for cybertron prime and even better, cybertron Megatron.
Been watching you since was like 4 and I don’t want as much no more but I’m happy seeing you before I go to college still running, you brighten my day seeing you I hope you continue the work my guy
Damn, even third party can't do that Prime design justice lol. Its faithful and a good figure don't get me wrong, but there's no saving that design. The combined form, however, is pretty damn good.
Note for emgo on the shoulder joint, I think there is a way to get more articulation if the shoulders and arms are facing upwards and still might slot in correctly and it should give you a hinge upwards, please correct me if I’m wrong.
Oh man! Its Convoy Enajon-Oh and Chou Convoy Enajon-Oh from Henkei Sentai Enajonger! My favorite Sentai mecha! No but for real there finally being a third party Energon Optimus after so long is great lol. Thank you for the video Emgo. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I still wish they'd do this figure in alt colours so I can collet him as a not-optimus allong side the prime man. I also wish there were more mini vehicles; a little jet5 tank6, boat7, rocket8 etc
No idea if it would appeal to you or not, but I think it would be funny for a similar reaction to Cybertron Optimus, but that time MP-44 comes later to ask Megatron who his new 'friend' is. Or maybe he meets MP-44 as he walks off.
I like this version a lot better than the original. I never liked the design of Energon Optimus Prime in robot mode because his legs are so thin and his body is so wide and massive. This version, along with the combiner drones, makes it look a whole lot better. I just wish his face didn't look so derpy.
That Voltron reference hahahah loved it! Megatron: ¨Seriously, don´t you get tired of the upgrades? I mean, what are you, Voltron now?! What´s going on here?! hahahaha
I always thought of Energon Optimus Prime's super mode looking like a Power Rangers megazord, but he can combine with his support drones in anyway he wants.
I'd kind of fallen out of Transformers by the time of Energon, so I didn't really know about this guy... but I have to admit - in terms of play-patterns - Prime and Thunderbird 2 gettin' it on after dinner and a movie and a couple of bottles of cheap wine, with the sultry tones of the Voltron theme to create the right atmosphere, apparently gives birth to a pretty engaging toy concept. Sorry for that imagery, btw, but that's kind of how it seems to have happened... And yes, Thunderbird 2 would be the lady in this analogy - after all, she's the one who literally pops all sorts of different vehicles out of her belly. There'll be some pointed questions on Tracy Island that day...
I wish someone could make one Optimus Prime that had the ability to combine with multiple trailers (power master, energon, cybertron, armada, normal, jet pack trailer) Just like I would like a Megatron that can turn into mega-gun mode, Galvatron, and galva-gun mode (And seekers that can turn into Sweeps, cyclonus, and scourge)

That’s something I’m hoping for too. Though I wouldn’t might a Uniform color scheme set for the drones or even an original set of drones.
Don't forget Omega Supreme.
FUCKING SAME. FansHobby Aero Dagger, I’m predicting the name
@@subjectzeta1680 Optimus Supreme was kind of a mid combination.
I was literally just about to comment that i hope they make omega supreme and wing saber XD
I used to transform that original Energon Optimus every other day to help me chill out when I was younger. Love the hell out of Energon Prime.

Glad I'm not the only one who has some love for Energon.
This figure fixes pretty much everything wrong with the original. Hats off, FansHobby
No argument here, my friend.
Honestly, I miss the good old days when Hasbro gave their Transformers figures added features,
rather than simply switching between modes.
Also, "It's called upgrades. It's called annoying me" gave me a good laugh.
Now time to wait for Emgo to get his hands on the new rendition of Cybertron Optimus Prime to complete the new Trilogy figures
I'm hoping Fans Hobby makes their own Cybertron Optimus. The other one just looked to skinny in my opinion
@@griffinkimball2454 They kinda went with making the base form less pudgy which then doesn't really help into the backpack form seem more robust.

Energon Optimus Prime is the 🐐

This is probably closer to voltron.
When I was little, the only image I had of him was on a ball (yea) it was AMAZING to my child brain. Kinda glad I never got the og figure though lmao
@@markcastellanet9672 they are basically the same thing, but since all the components are vehicles it’s closer to power rangers.

I had a good feeling this review would come.
Packed in alt mode as primus intended.

And don't forget about rescue bots academy whirl too.
I honestly love the alternate wheel kibble position because it finally makes the proportions perfect! :)
Man, I remember this being called "Fatimus Prime" when it was relevant, but Fans Hobby did a pretty good job giving it a better proportion.

Now that I look back, I wish they made Submarine 4 more accurate and gave it the claw instead of the generic fist ;-;
The drone vehicles remind me of the ones from the old Thunderbirds TV show.
"It's also super modular...in all of it's Modularness"
Wtf is he talking about it's all one solid piece...
Breaks in half*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭
I really hope they do Energon Megatron. That’s one of my favorite designs for the character
The only thing disappointing about the figure is the submarine. They should've kept the claw for arm mode so you'd have 2 normal hands, and 2 tool hands.
They sell one with the claw hand
Still waiting for fans hobby's armada jetfire and overload, that'd be insane with their prime
And i wished fans hobby made their energon megatron and galvatron
When i was a kid i wished i got the original figure (i knew it wasn't the best by any means but i still thought it was amazing), i hope someday i can get this improved version now
i hope that fan's hobby makes wingsaber and omega supreme. cause i want them all and also for them to make a jetfire and overload too. so both primes can have their ultimate combinations at the ready.
Pretty sure I Fans Hobby already announced Jetfire, Overload and tidal wave
Pretty sure I Fans Hobby already announced Jetfire, Overload and tidal wave
I’m getting those nostalgic vibes of power ranger (super sentai) vehicles/mechs that doubles as a base to hold the zord components
This Optimus prime is nostalgic because back when a incredible movie library block buster I get transformers energon every time
This optimus feels like a power rangers megazord
I'm fairly certain that if you spin the shoulders 180° before installing the arms, you can get another joint to move the shoulder higher than the 45° outward movement you get on just the arm.
Definitely want to see Omega Supreme, and if they do Cybertron Prime.
My exposure to transformers was energon.
Side note emgo you rock! Been watching you literally for 12 years keep going!
I absolutely love your vids. I bought Naval Commander/Energon Prime a while back along with a whole bunch of Fans Toys & Fans Hobby figures.
Not in point, you can take the side ears off to rotate his face.
There's also a SpongeBob reference you could've placed in this in which someone said that Energon Prime needed to be left-handed, and you could've moved the right hand's thumb to make it look like he had two left hands.
Mine was packaged upside down in the box 😂
Now, that was just weird! 🤯😳🤨
If there are two series I love they are, Cybertron and Engergon. I'm glad you're finally doing Energon bc I collected a lot of these figures.
Man fans hobby really blew it away with energon prime's design. It looks actually cool. Really cool engineering.
I'm getting this guy because Fans Hobby is giving us their own take on Energon Wing Saber!
I never got into energon as much as I did cybertron or armada, but this is sick. Can't wait for what they do for cybertron prime and even better, cybertron Megatron.
OMG they're only lacking Wing Saber or the Omega Supreme
I love this figure so much
These toys make me so excited for Generations versions of the UT Optimus and Megs.
I like the "Voltron: Defender of the Universe" reference you put in this video. Especially right here: 29:43 and here: 29:47
So just got this one the other day and I've actually come up with my own configuration for the back kibble that cleans it up a bit better
I saw a review where they rotated Prime's Shoulder to incorporate a shoulder hinge.
I assume the port on his shoulder is still compatible with the energon stars?
Fans Hobby is now selling a pack containing all the support vehicles, so you can double up on them.
Finally after all this time! One of the most under appreciated primes getting a modern update!
Yeah, and now Energon Optimus Prime looks better than ever!
... I was kinda expecting to hear Prime say "That too!" at the end of the skit. :)
Damn.
Those drones are stylish.
I look forward to Fans Hobby making a Galaxy Force/Cybertron Prime
Cursed prime face at 19:55 lmao

Can you do the alternate combination with this toy? With the drill and submarine as arms.
yes you can

I still wish they'd do this figure in alt colours so I can collet him as a not-optimus allong side the prime man. I also wish there were more mini vehicles; a little jet5 tank6, boat7, rocket8 etc
now will fans hobby do a energon wingsaber for their energon prime?
They did their best but he is still inevitably chunky. Its mostly an issue of being too wide whereas the original had issues in all dimensions.
I noticed that this has the energon star ports on this thing but do they actually work? Like can you put an energon star on the port itself?
now they need to make the omega supreme for that combind mode holy thats gonna be huge
So cool to see my first prime get the mp treatment
Kinda wish Helicopter looked more like Helicopter, but overall it looks great
No idea if it would appeal to you or not, but I think it would be funny for a similar reaction to Cybertron Optimus, but that time MP-44 comes later to ask Megatron who his new 'friend' is. Or maybe he meets MP-44 as he walks off.

I always thought of Energon Optimus Prime's super mode looking like a Power Rangers megazord, but he can combine with his support drones in anyway he wants.
There’s also Transformers Universe’s Leo Prime(s) that could combine with Optimus. I only know about that via Bert the Stormtrooper.
@@whitewolf3051 That's true.
Chonkimus Prime. I do dig how this one turned out.

Thank You for Reviewing this Figure I Love Transformers ENEGRON!
Was the end gag supposed to poke fun at Gary Chalk?
I believe if you flip around prime’s main shoulder upside down u can get more combiner shoulder articulation, hopefully that makes sense?
Essentially where the energon star would go, needs to be backwards.
Yup. You can even cheat a butterfly joint if you move the main arms forward 90 and slide the Super-Mode arms on after.

Everyone complain about the original toy all you want, at least it was screen accurate. I’m just not a big fan of Energy Commander here, personally.
Looks like Energon Optimus Prime (aka Fatimus Prime) has finally lost that belly of his.

Please do a JTI for both limb modes. no reviewer has done it.
can you put an energon chip on it?
