If I heard it correctly, it was kind of a MOC, a former TF Hasbro designer who loved Legos built this and then when he changed jobs to be a Lego Designer he presented this idea, which then became the Lego set
Honestly I prefer a bit more studs, looks too much like a toy figure to me than Lego. But I guess that's stellar job on designers. Just want biiiiit more studs.
@@MeisterSchwabbo why can't they do that like do they think adults will only buy things for hundreds? Like they did it again with the castle and space ship
@@Nick_MG yea I feel if they changed the head design to somehow have the print on a 1x3 it would make the eyes look better, however it wouldn’t match how the head would look
@@Lookman646 Maybe if they spread the eyes out a bit more on that print, it may have looked better. There’s definitely still a small bit of room there. The only way the eyes probably could have looked their best is if LEGO made a new face brick mold that was in the shape of Optimus’s face and mask. But so long as LEGO doesn’t see a need to make a new mold, they’ll find a shortcut with the pieces they have.
I really like how the gun becomes the trailer hitch, I'm surprised no official figures have thought of doing that because it actually works out fantastically. Also to be completely honest I think I'm gonna buy a bunch of extra parts to make the blue parts the regular LEGO blue instead of dark blue, would just look a lot better to me personally.
it would bump it up to being closer to the G1 Sunbow Cartoon than the dark blue which is derived from the G1 toy (plus change the silver drum laquered 1x2 cheese slopes to blue to make it more accurate, as both the toy and cartoon didn't have it). only thing that is a problem is the printed forehead piece, which I think a custom sticker can substitute for the detail.
@@michyoungie I want to say this one is based somewhat on MP-10 hence the vents on the legs and the dark blue, and even the transformation is similar to it and the original G1 figure
@@josephsalvucci7316 Which? I've seen them store on the trailer hitch but never actually *become* it. And while I can't name every release, or name every G1 Optimus Prime mold ever made, I can tell the difference between almost all of them.
I love that LEGO and Hasbro decided to let this be a real thing And have the only real "partsforming" thing being swapping the bumper tile out for that waistband-piece, at that, too.
You think $259.99 is a good price for a semi truck even though the actual full character is a truck and semi trailer ? That would be like forgetting the caboose with a train or forgetting the engine car
@@macdaddy2344 the set is only $170, but a trailer would bump that up significantly. Especially if they made it do all the battle platform stuff and added roller. I'm not saying a trailer wouldn't have been nice, but Optimus himself is the main important thing.
This has Instantly become my next lego set to buy, I love everything about it and it combines two of my favorite toys. And I don’t have to take it apart to transform it🤩🤩🤩
The price point is already a big fail in the description of this video it says its $159.99 which is incorrect it's actually $259.99 with that price they should've considering its only 1500 pieces
I’m gonna be completely honest, I always assumed that if they ever officially did this it would be a parts-formy mess, but this is incredible! Do you know how tall it is?
Legit one of the coolest lego designs ever made. And when I say it I mean it. I’m gonna have to drop 160 bucks but I might as well do it on this right 😂
I can't believe this is real. Some of the first channels I followed on YT were Lego channels that built their own Transformers & made them transform with little to no parts forming. I was so disappointed when Kre-O weren't able to make their transformers transform. This is amazing. If this line continues i imagine they'll do Bumblebee or Soundwave next. I'm wondering how they'll do Megatron since he can't be a gun anymore. Tank? Jet? Truck? Probably a tank if the WFC trilogy & the Devastation game are anything to go by.
I was thinking they can "take" G1 Galvatron's cannon emplacement alt mode and reuse that for Megs, or the animated helicopter as that is rather simple plus animated Megs is already close to G1
The set is amazing! I might check my own parts to see what I might still need, I dont mind the dark blue but in my mind regular blue is closer to the series back when I was a kid! Cant wait to see you make the trailer!
Now that we know Lego and Hasbro are willing to collaborate, I really hope this means we get a Lego Power Rangers set one day. Even if it's just the original MMPR Megazord
Would love to see like Bay-verse Megatron or StarScream of this from you using techniques from this set, also could you do a titanfall 2 MOC of a titan?
That's probably the most popular choice, but I'm not gonna lie, I would have preferred the Bayverse one from the Sam trilogy, or the one from Bumblebee/RotB.
@@hachiroku24 Pretty much all of the new Expert sets have seen sequels - the blocky G1 designs definitely lend themselves most to a LEGO adaptation, but if they do go for another in this series later on, it would indeed be seriously interesting to see the live-action detailing style in LEGO form.
I took the 5:43 frame to PS and took the "Mouth protection" piece up by half stud, I don't know if it's possible over the real model, maybe just if it has hollow studs under it; but doing such a tweek compressed the the head in heigh, giving it a more sleek appearance. I also try in PS with flipping that same piece so the angle went upward, it also looks good and helps the flat eyes piece to merge with the rest of the face, but again it depends on whats below that piece. I love the model and would accept no knee articulation, but the head is not quite there for me.
Crazy thing is I remember getting the Kreo Megatron when they were making them 10 years ago, always been more of a Lego fan and just got the set anyways. But deep down I kinda wished Lego would transformers sets since I was a kid. I obviously didn’t think that would happen because Kreo had the license for what seemed like forever. Let’s just say I was at disbelief when I heard about this. But what I can say now is that I was a kid then having to wait to get these sets with my dad now I’m much older with money I’ve worked to earn, might just buy this to fulfill that sort of childhood wish.
It looks really nice! They did a great job with smooth tiles and the transforming, but I’ll pass at that price range. If they release Megatron or Soundwave, then that’s another story. 😅
I hope we'll get a Megatron to face him, or maybe even a Devastator style combiner ! And honestly, we got Voltron, we got Optimus, I really do hope that we'll get a Dino-Megazord one day, it'd be dope.
No way they do Megatron. If they do they won't have him transform into a gun Because Lego is lame and won't do guns in that regard. But if by some chance they do and he does transform into his gun mode I'd definitely buy 2 without a doubt one to build and one to keep sealed because that set would be worth so much money.
This is so clean and studless it looks more like a MOC than an official Lego set. Good job Lego

If you ever make a trailer, could you also tackle the no knee joint problem
The knee is an easy fix specially since it's ok a ball joint

I love that they added the Matrix as well. That's amazing
Yeah except it’s supposed to be blue not orange.
I love how the fact that this exists, is the selling point. It being halfway decent is just a bonus
Amazing set I still cant believe that Lego really made this. 😎💚
Can't believe they left the trailer out
@@macdaddy2344 yeah but if they added it it would cost much more. And i think its awesome even without it.

As a transformers and lego fan I see this as the one of the most perfect lego sets
I always preferred the classic version of Optimus prime over the movie version. And this Lego design really does justice to its iconography.
Technically he was in a movie. The only movie that counts. The 1986 animated film. GOAT.
@@scott-richardson 😁
Yes. YES. YEEESSSS!!!!
I swear, I’m as hyped about this as Benny is about building spaceships. This set is GORGEOUS!
It’s what I’ve always dreamed of!
This has Instantly become my next lego set to buy, I love everything about it and it combines two of my favorite toys. And I don’t have to take it apart to transform it🤩🤩🤩
I can’t wait to see various Mocs on how people would do the trailer and the repaints (Nemesis,shatter glass etc.)
I'm already planning on modding one to make Mazinger Z (or Mazinkaiser)
Just going to say, if they make a G1 Sideswipe set later on, that rocket pack should… nay, MUST be able to fit on him, too.
I absolutely love this set! Hopefully they make more LEGO transformers like Soundwave and Star-scream
Personally, I'd like to see one for Grimlock.
I can't wait to get this! I hope Lego makes more Transformers, love to see Bumblebee or Megatron next!
They would probably do Sound Wave or Star Scream as megatron is really hard
Ironhide: Optimus, this set has been sold out, where are you going to find one now?
Optimus Prime: *Bricklink*
Optimus Prime: *_e b a y ._*

This model will be straight in my collection!😁
Would you ever consider making a custom trailer for him?
Of course! This weekend probably,

U can't til June 1st where have u been this isn't new news
