The Toy That Caught Fire Featuring Baltmatrix | #transformers Armada Optimus Prime And Overload - บันเทิง
Honey wake up, new Baltamatrix lore
More accurately, clarification on old Baltmatrix lore, but yes.
Ayo
@Nordic Frost That's what she said.
YO GUYS LOOK OUR BOY HAS COMINTED
@@baltmatrix are you real
"get some big fuck you cannons on the back"
That made my night
Nah, it’s Blast everything to hell mode
Something worthy of note, you don't have to take overload's legs all the way off. If you line the thighs up with the arms just right, they slide directly onto them. I haven't seen a figure do that before and it's just so cool to me
The closest thing I've seen to that is the rail system on Siege Ultra Magnus's grill. It's engineered so the grill can slide up onto his back for his unarmored robot mode and still give him full waist articulation. Not only that, it also acts as a sturdy clip-on point for the main torso-piece of his armor.
Hey, how did your house catch fire?
Optimus prime caught fire...
New flame deco. 3D too, you can feel the heat
God, I cannot wait for the new Legacy version of this character.
“Prime with big f*** you cannons” I love that 😂
To get the base mode to convert to 'pants' mode, you pull apart Prime's legs to create the super mode arms, not push the arms together to form the front of Prime's cab.
Yeah I was like “no wonder it doesn’t to work, he’s doing the wrong gesture!”
There's a toy armada episode on a few of the characters and toys from Armada and apparently Overload was created because Takara wanted a big ticket item for a Japanese holiday week (holiweek?). IIRC, Aaron Archer said that it was never intended to be an Ultra Magnus because they had already done a combining Magnus in Car Robots.
The Japanese holiday week is Golden Week where they have so many holidays in a row they turn an entire week into a Holliday
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer thank you, I couldn't remember the actual name.
You transformed the trailer into base mode incorrectly. The autotransform into base mode worked perfectly. What you're meant to do is flid the side tabs down to act as supports for the legs. Forcing the legs down onto the ground like that not only doesn't line things up properly on that side of the base, but you're putting needless additional wear on the base mode.
Pain
Oof, yeah that hurt me too
maybe thats why it caught fire then?
@@keybae23 I feel like we're only getting part of the story there. Even if the gears were stripped or misaligned, you'd still be able to hear the motor working on it. Furthermore, even in the interests of conserving the batteries and minising the risk of corrosion, why wasn't the power switch flicked off on the trailer when it was transformed. I always did that on mine when it was transformed and left in a particular mode for storage or display for that very reason.
At what point in that situation does operator error cease being completely disregarded because of an accompanying mechanical failure?
Armada Optimus Prime really shines when he is combined with Armada Jetfire and Armada Overload.
Loved this toy as a kid, never realised it transformed with motors 🤣
Love the armada optimus design and can't wait for an update
The cost is holding me back, but damn, this is making me want the Naval Commander in this deco.
I got an Overload at TFNation and it's such a fun thing. My favourite part is how the lower legs slide over onto the arms. I can't think of another figure that does something like that in the same way where you just slide it along the rail from one part to the other.
For what its worth, they tried hard to make Overloads transformation not be parts former- you can line up the legs/knees and slide them across from one section to the other without ever losing contact.
Baltmatrix is a legend.
"He can't pose but that's not what he's for."
So true. He wears trailer pants so he can do even LESS.
whenever I decide to get this figure I'm gonna be scared as hell to transform it when I go to review it
I think that the fact that the trailer does not autotransform when you go from robot mode to vehicle mode is actually intended.
The way the automorph gimmick work is this: there are two hidden buttons inside of prime, that get pressed automatically when you transform the main figure. The first is hidden inside the inner shoulder of the standard robot mode, and gets pushed when you split the front of the truck going from vehicle to robot. The second gets pressed when you split the robot leg apart when you go from robot to super robot.
The fact is, that you also need to form the front of the truck if you go from robot to super robot. So it makes sense that the base does not fold up into a trailer when you do that. In other words, the automorph is designed specifically for the sequence vehicle -> robot -> super robot -> vehicle. In fact, if you go from super robot to robotm when you close up the legs, the pants got to trailer mode, not base mode.
At least, this is what I figured out as a kid playing with this toy all those years ago.
Overloads minicon has the distinct honor of being able to Pooth and Super Pooth.
Funnily enough i just picked this guy up on ebay. No trailer / legs, but planning to whip up an articulated 3d print - so definetly a project!
Dude I wanna see it when your done!
I like how Takua, Jaller and Pewku are just chilling on the box 😆
finally! More info on the baltmatrix thing. Ive actually tried researching more on that topic years back and found nothing! Genuinly, thank you for this info it made my day
Reverse punch you lol. Timely review x'D ! Cannot wait for Legacy Prime :) !!!
Preorder April 18th
Ah yes, the legendary self immolating Optimus
I still have my originals and I love it... The batteries have long died, the sounds are that of a mewling sloth but Optimus tugging both his trailer and Overload with Jetfire ready to jettison to the stars is a beefy and beautiful display (apologies for the run on 😂)
Same here, I haven't combined all three in a long while. the jetfire legs make him so tall then you add overload and he gets pretty beefy.
IDK, the fire thing almost become an urban legend.
F for Balmatrix's armada optimus
Prime can tow Overload directly without the Prime trailer. Nice little play feature.
Overload was my very first Transformers toy. Loved removing and reattaching the head for the sound effect. Kind of a brick, yes, but it fulfilled its role well though even back then I wished he had a big gun of some kind. Ended up giving it away, now I can't find it for a decent price and I still miss it. Hope Transformers Legacy gives us an Armada Overload, perhaps as a weaponizer.
Overload, like the Junkions, is one of those rare cases where partsforming is not only acceptable but encouraged to make a better weapons pack for other figures. Considering Armada Prime’s been leaked for Evolution, perhaps his armor buddy might be coming in part 3 of Legacy.
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho We can only hope.
I would make it into an ultra magnus as a kid. ❤ loved this, as he was my first optimus
So ironically, Fans Hobby put up a preorder for this exact deco of their Naval Commander
Finally you do collab with baltmatrix!
So as a kid up till now I never knew you can do that with the base, I owned the Yellow and Black prime and Overload set
its a good thing you got the energon version since the armada one has the dreaded GPS for arm joints.
which i didnt know as a kid i played with it so much only to learn as an adult about it and am amazed it never broke.
but i did one thing i kepted my childhood overload with me that transforming sound is so fun to spam and the lil guy was for the longest time my go to fidget toy.
i just wished i kept all of them and wasnt forced to give them up by my mom via the "your too old for them give them to your younger cousin" bit. since i had the complete set of armada jetfire optimus and overload.
and yes im soooooo hoping its an armada commander class optimus it will automaticly go right to my preorder must have list.
God it is so hard to look at this guy when Naval Commander exists xD
Honestly, if my Jetfire was remotely complete, I’d send it to you
I still love my Armada stuff.
I got one where the electronics didn’t work I didn’t mind because that Baltmatrix story scared me away from wanting to use that feature lol it is a big immobile brick but it looks nice and that’s really all I care about because Armada is that series that got me into Transformers so I’ve always loved the look of super mode Optimus Prime
If Hasbro released this figure today with the same plastic quality, they'd be asking for $100
I got the original coloured version of this for Christmas a good few years ago and loved it.
Then the fucking elbow joint snapped off about a week later cause it was INSANELY tight and made of gold plastic. Fucking gutted when that happened.
I actually have the Costco variation of this set and used the alt color Jetfire figure to match up the color scheme. It really is a stupid fun figure I enjoy.
Awesome, Balt's feature time was short.
I got everything back when it was in stores. Plus I did get the astrotrain version few years back. Been a completists of Transformers Since G2 came out. Main Focus.
I love this prime must be a fun toy
The greatest collab since slice bread:
The toy guy with humor and the man, the myth, the legend. mr qc for no reason baltmatrix!
Hoping it doesnt blow up as well....
Baltmatrix could buy a mansion and it would still get qc issues!
I just took the batteries out of mine and transform it by hand. It actually holds well for me despite a lot of reviews saying the tabs don’t hold without the motor running.
About this version of Optimus in that color, he appears like this in the last two episodes of Armada, except the faceplate which in the animation is white, and an interesting and cool curiosity, these alternative colors are not just any choice, they are nothing less than the colors of Optimus Primal from Beast Wars!😄 Another detail, you forgot to show that in robot mode, behind the chest grid he has the Matrix of Leadership.😮 I hope to see a video with Baltmatrix someday, it would be really cool.🙂 Nice video.👍
Dang I heard Baltamatrix’s comments on this figure out of context and I thought he was just exaggerating
_but no, it literally “burst” into flames, no figurative speech_
Transformers Micron Legend Magna Convoy DX mold, that's the real stuff :D
Balt and QC are like homer and cereal if that makes sense
I used to own this combo of Pantsimus Prime and Overload, is fun as heck to combine and rearrage it.
But in my copy, the motor in the trailer, nor the IF signal, never worked.
The figure looks even cooler if you have Armada Jetfire to combine as the legs too! And you can also attach overload to the back of primes trailer 😁
jetfire can also sit on overload if i recall? i remember towing all 3 as a kid anyway :p
@@FSUincRS yeah he can! I did the same too! I'm pretty sure I still have them all in storage at my mums place 🥰
with the base prime mold, imo I think it looks a whole lot better if you go and paint his faceplate grey. But yeah combined mode is really nice looking
i got overload in ultra magnus colours and optimus in gold colour, plus jetfire all of it went for less then 100 dollar complete with shipping from USA to Sweden around 10 year ago. my gold optimus is weird for it is made for american market but it has a japanese language chip so he say the stuff in japanese so i suspect some one had fun changing the electronic in it.
I like the colors. Wish they'd bring this kind of Optimus color back more often, like Lazer Prime. And not just use the good old excuse of "hey he's black and red, therefore bad guy."
Ha no way, I've still got the blue Optiimus and Trailer somewhere. Missing the loose parts and the gold mini-con though. He's also upposed to make the transforming noise when you connect the top half of super Optimus to the trailer (big pants) mode. I think the batteries leaked in mine at some point so probably doesn't auto transform anymore. The clear plastic thing on the base centre also flips up with ports on the blue Optimus' feet to go on the base pegs. Also the little button on the right shoulder of super Optimus also made the sounds work. It was a such a relief when you said only worth $40 haha, your vid title made me think it caught fire as in popularity (and value) lol.
They released a set called battle of the matrix that has jetfire, Optimus and some mini cons, most of them are the same but Optimus has a gold paint jobfor his truck
Got one and jetfire but in original color scheme it helps if you say “Optimus super mode transform” for pants mode
Between breaking/needing to glue, catching fire, not working right, and trigger happy electronics what I'm hearing is either look for 3rd party or wait, like you said, until they release better
Well that's just prime
I have the Ultra Magnus redeco of Overload and I was surprised to see how big Knock Out is for a Mini-Con. I had so see exactly how big he was compared to my other small Transformers and he is about the size of a RID Spychanger.
I have the original of this Optimus. I remember I bought it right after my (like 12th or 13th) birthday with my birthday money. $40 and maybe one or two other figures. I don't know where it ended up, hopefully in a container somewhere around my parents' house. Also, I enjoyed Toa Lhikan in the size comparison.
i used to have the ultra magnus deco that i bought when i was a kid at mi local target from Spain. I still get mad when i remember that my mom thrown my entire collection away :c
Wow, I didn't expect my favorite toy reviewer would be in this video😅
Ohh the finicky memories
warning to people that look to buy an armada Optimus: if the base robot’s arms are super tight then be very careful as they will snap off. I got one the other day and the first transformation to supermode and I had to super glue his arm back on
I had one of just the truck and the gold plastic in the arms just like crumbled
A pretty accurate review/assessment of this guy. Personally couldn't be bothered to mess with the self transformation feature other than a couple of times upon opening. Despite the immobility of the combined mode I always loved how epic this thing looks stood up with Overload's dual canons mounted on the shoulders. A much better accessory than the pants Jetfire combination. As much as I still love that toy I felt he was best suited parked on to of Overload in shuttle mode as that's essentially what he is, a transport trailer which Ironically became a repainted Ultra Magnus at some point or other in blue/white. Other than the durability/fun factor of these toys they gave you electronics, spring loaded weapons, and a little minicon partner which is significantly more value than most releases these days. Hoping the updates for 23 live up to the hype.
ngl, had this toy since I was a kid, not only did I not know that Optimus Prime was a remote control for the trailer, literally didn't even know it auto transformed lol
mine didnt catch on fire, but like my motor stopped working, no fite but the thing smelled a lil smokey. i remember when @baltmatrix uploaded the original video omg so much nostalgia
A fellow tall ass transformers fan, welcome to the club.
I always thought he was exaggerating for humor. I had no idea Balt’s copy caught fire
Overload also combines with the base mode in gun backpack form
It is remarkable how people can consistently mistransform and mishandle this toy
Fun fact: if you take Overloads legs off, there are squeeze slots in the knees that allow him to tab onto the Trailer in Base mode as MOAR WEAPONZ. You can also then transform Overload into his robot mode with his feet guns for hands and the trailer as the Pants...
Meaning both of Primes trailers can combine into a Super Trailer mode
I got overload for Christmas the year it came out, I flipped I had jetfire and prime already, the memory of sitting at the table combining all three that day will never fade oh wait I got unicron that day tooo!!! I forgot lol even better. Optimus finally had the fire power and the hight to take on the planet eater. Lol
Hahaha The turbinator
Didn't wanna pressure you, but I really can't wait until you review Legacy Armada Prime. I got him in the mail today after ordering from Hasbro Pulse. I had a wave of nostalgia for how leader class figures used to feel, with all the ratchet joints and weight.
so i guess you could say baltmatrix got a spark igniter
\
I'd like to see an insurance agent's reaction when you mention that your house caught fire due to a malfunctioning Transformers toy.
I had that initial problem whenever I transformed it on the carpet. Always had to run it to the kitchen when I transformed it by accident.
Get Armada Jetfire to form the ultimate OP combiner…
I know your just trying to be funny with that robosen at home joke and I still remember the summer that original mold came out and told my mom about it and she said so what it, it just another optimus prime. There a Million different versons out there so it will go on clearance and I left it at that even though I knew it was different cause he was the first transformer to have a electronic self transforming gemic threw infrared technology and a few months go by and I was gonna get him for my birthday with my birthday money and I woke up to the armada optimus prime sitting in my bedroom chair. I played with that toy for hours that day,watching that trailer transform with each mode I put optimus prime and it was so cool for the time and so high tech. I still have the toy somewhere in my attic and now I'm thinking about dragging out and playing with again some more Thanks to this review lol
somehow i didn't know prior to today that prime's trailer transformed on it's own and given the australian heat if i had have owned one it might have melted down on me if i'd owned it as a kid
fans hobby is making a repaint of their naval commander in these colors
I wish still lived in BC, then I could send you a Timelines Astrotrain that I saw at a store I like.
yo Baltmatrix my man
I had the armada pime that had golden mini... child me was just that a child...I regret losing him
Imagine just going into your room and finding your figure on fire. I find that funny and unfortunate.
Ok… I got that at Goodwill three years ago. It’s right next to me as I type. Good to know that it’s a potential threat.
Tbh outside of Baltmatrix's report, his is the only one I've heard doing that
@@transformnroll2752 That’s good. I coincidentally had it next to me before I saw the thumbnail. I had one of those oh-my-god-what-are-you-really towards the toy for a few minutes.
i would personally love to see them rerelease the powerlinx color scheme on the new legacy evolution version of this figure
I miss this Era of transformers toys, you don't have the quality anymore
I have the blue overload, but also the Jetfire that combines wit Prime
yeah those three primes are my favorites.armada with Jetfire and overload. then there's energon prime that combines with wing saber or omega supreme. then Cybertron combines with Leo saber or wingsaber.
I have that deco Armada Prime and broke the combined head when I was a 4 year old bastard
Never had overload but had jetfire that also combined with prime
I have watched baltmatrix since 2016
GunJob Spacepants!
Man this prime looks so coo- GROUND DION!?!?!?!? WHY IS GROUND DION HERE!?!?! I love the Diaclone Reboot line so much!!! Do you plan on getting anything from it? I 100% understand if not, the line is EXPENSIVE XD
