This kit is the only reason why I bought the Legacy Animated Optimus Prime. He looks so much better in this upgraded form. Aaand they just announced a Motormaster version, although I wish the trailer in that kit was grey instead of black.
1:35 It's actually based on the development sketches of a new Optimus toy for a potential Season 4 of Animated, and much like how the Wingblade from Endgame was based on a simplified God Ginrai, this design completes it
Hydrodrive bee was the hasbro name. It was only cancelled in the west, so if you’re willing to cough up the extra cash, the takara release is still available for purchase
Man, I missed Animated series so much. Everytime, I remember creators plans for season 4 and next seasons I got so sad. Predacons army. Shattered Glass episode. Episode where Bumblebee is a Prime, who jointed forces with Galvatron againts army of Predacons. Optimus Primal, who is the clone of Optimus Prime. Triplechanger Megatron. Resurected Starscream, who jointed forces with Autobots. So much potential, so much unique stories, that we will never see. At least we have 2 really good seasons and season 3 which is true masterpiece
*I said this in another review of this set, but I'm extending it to here. I wish they included the back half of Optimus' fire engine alt mode in Animated. Without it, he looks like a red and blue semi truck with a light bar on the cab.*
I legit got that legacy united Optimus for that upgrade kit alone. also had me starting my Optimus collection. Now I got like 5 or 6 different of my favorites Optimus primes. From G1, beast wars, armada, animated, prime, bayformers, and the war for cybertron game. I also got the megatrons from each as well, with the exception of G1 as I'm waiting for that SS86 version. Damn, just when I had stopped collecting a decade ago. They come out with bangers of my favorites. I'm eating good as a TF fan in that aspect at least. 🤩💪
And that Hydro-Dive Armor of Bumblebee's sounds like something that they could give us. I mean my main TFA OC Thermocline came from a flooded Cybertronian planet that being Salinitron.
I like that DNA actually made this kit look like something Hasbro would make. Even going so far as to have the unsightly wheel pegs sticking out through the trailer wheels, lol. BTW, can the figure transform with the face guard left on? Also, "Let's roll!" he says as he flies away and definitely isn't rolling, lol. That movie was just too much XD
I don’t have the kit yet, but I double checked Optimus himself and there’s plenty of room around his head during the transformation. It should work fine.
@@straker454 I suppose so! I just felt like Hasbro shouldn’t be so hated for leaving the upgrades for DNA that way, as long as we have the finished product beautiful that’s what counts. I’m usually the one with mean comments such as yours!
This kit should have came with more like the matrix leadership and his arm grappling hook and the other gear or weapons that we saw prime use in the show
Great review! I am absolutely ordering this! I will display him and an upgraded Animated Motormaster in their truck modes in a head-on collision to reenact that iconic G1 cartoon scene. I also got come gap-filling kits for Animated Prime and Motormaster that should not interfere with the DNA kits.
0:30 DK-49 upgrade kit review when? Speaking of which, DNA Design have just released DK-46DX, which is a re-release of the upgrade kits for SS 101 Scourge that were found in the DK-46 and DK-49 upgrade kits minus the articulated claw and mind control device from DK-46.
I never cared for Animated but I am liking the Legacy figures. I'm glad I ordered this set. Now I kind of want DNA designs go retro and see if THEY can do their take and do a modern update to Fansproject old City Commader set for the Classics Ultra Magnus.
I think Hasbro will eventually give us an official upgrade pack for this OP. The holes in the forearms and shoulders, the weird set up where you can bend the knees back to balance the weight the could-be jetwing that goes on OP's back. I don't know how but it will come to us.
amazing video as always pvp! This has really tempted me to get an animated prime and the upgrade kit lol. On a related note, are you planning to review the DNA Nova Prime upgrade kit? I have the original toy and am wondering if the upgrade will be worth getting (mostly because I was underwhelmed with the stock toy)
FINALLY! I was wondering when we'd be able to see this! I seriously can't wait for my copy of this upgrade kit. And I've got a theory for the next Megatron figure we can get. The only person that Optimus was meant to use his Powermaster Armor was against none other than TFA Megatron after receiving his Marauder form that he was meant to get in Season 4 of Transformers: Animated. I am 99.999999999999% sure Marauder Megatron is going to come to us in the Age of the Primes line so that he can go against this guy!
I just don;t like that the wings are so far away from the body, I get it why they need to be, but I still wish they were more flush with his back. That being said- most likely getting this kit for either Christmas or my birthday, this was my favorite prime and I love the look!
This may sound crazy, but this feels like Orion Pax becoming Optimus Prime. Like base form is before being given the Matrix and the DNA Design Upgrade kit is him becoming a full fledged Prime.
PrimeVPrime, are you ever gonna review the Baiwei 3.0 Studio Series Optimus? Cuz i think it's a figure that should be highlighted in the KO/3rd party toy scene.
I hope BumbleBee gets ak upgrade kit as well... Edit: The original Jetpack BumbleBee was only cancelled in Hasbro markets. It was made into a Takara Tomy exclusive.
I want to know where he got all of the blast effects. I want so many more so my battle scene doesn't look like Omega Supreme destroying everyone while they stand still.
What is weird is that the Motormaster figure also has an upgrade kit coming out for it, but it looks just as impressive as this kit
Could be Season 4 concept or menasor-like upgrade
does it turn him into menasor ?
@@isuckatusernames4297 probably not but would be very cool
@@isuckatusernames4297its the same as this kit basically, just gives him a sword instead of Magnus's hammer, and a different Big Gun
@@isuckatusernames4297 It is just extremely Menasor inspired

Oh Damn! Thanks for the info! Sucks even harder we never got a S4 now!
@@PrimeVsPrimeIndeed!
Hydrodrive bee was the hasbro name. It was only cancelled in the west, so if you’re willing to cough up the extra cash, the takara release is still available for purchase
Same with Animated Blackout!
Man, I missed Animated series so much. Everytime, I remember creators plans for season 4 and next seasons I got so sad.
Predacons army.
Shattered Glass episode.
Episode where Bumblebee is a Prime, who jointed forces with Galvatron againts army of Predacons.
Optimus Primal, who is the clone of Optimus Prime.
Triplechanger Megatron.
Resurected Starscream, who jointed forces with Autobots.
So much potential, so much unique stories, that we will never see.
At least we have 2 really good seasons and season 3 which is true masterpiece
This was the second upgrade kit I've ever bought and I'm genuinely impressed. The colour matching is great and it really fills out the truck mode.
Definitely going to buy this kit at some point.
It’s really good! Thanks for watching!
Honestly this upgrade is specifically what makes me want to get Animated Optimus. It's such a cool update
David Kaye:"He'll ended up as the Commander Class Figure!"
"Wasted!"

4:36 Nice going with using that line dude.
And all of this is supposed to be something Optimus was supposed to get in Season 4 of TFA guys! That kit is his POWERMASTER armor!
We finally have Wingblade Optimus Prime in the form of an Upgrade Kit.
It still blows my mind that there’s a company out there that makes their money from improving figures with little parts
2:13 bro imagine if it snapped in half on-camera
Haha that would’ve been PEAK LOL
Awseome upgrade!, yo ,you know what would be cool,a list of dna design kits from worst to best
Anyway great video 🎉❤💯
And that Hydro-Dive Armor of Bumblebee's sounds like something that they could give us. I mean my main TFA OC Thermocline came from a flooded Cybertronian planet that being Salinitron.
Yes! A relief, from an underwhelming feeling.
Oh really? I actually really liked the TFA Prime😫
@@PrimeVsPrime Not that. I like the figure too. I'm underwhelmed because of Earthspark finale.
Oh heck yeah animated Optimus Prime
The GOAT!
Hey, PvP. Those blasters can also go on the jetpack to give him the look of having shoulder cannons. Pretty cool, huh!
I like that DNA actually made this kit look like something Hasbro would make. Even going so far as to have the unsightly wheel pegs sticking out through the trailer wheels, lol. BTW, can the figure transform with the face guard left on?

I hope Hasbro’s proud of DNA and pats them on the shoulder for what they’ve done!
@@matthewreynoso6904 You mean finishing their toys for them and making us want figures that just weren't what we wanted up until now? XD
@@straker454 I suppose so! I just felt like Hasbro shouldn’t be so hated for leaving the upgrades for DNA that way, as long as we have the finished product beautiful that’s what counts. I’m usually the one with mean comments such as yours!
I Think This DNA Design DK-54 Upgrade Kit Would Great For Animated Universe Optimus Prime If I Bought That Online!
This kit should have came with more like the matrix leadership and his arm grappling hook and the other gear or weapons that we saw prime use in the show
Prime turned from a fire engine into a heavily armored missile truck
Oh that’s bad ass!
Not just that, he has X-ray vision (thanks to the visor), and even a ladder cannon (like Cybertron Optimus!)!
Love the DNA kits for the Transformers👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Me and you both!
@@PrimeVsPrime thanks for your comment 👍😎👍
Glad you agree
Hopefully we get the other two Animated Autobot cast, possibly two Voyagers for Ratchet and Bulkhead.
Then the Decepticon cast.
I hope so too! Still waiting on Lugnut who won the fan vote all those years ago
Great review! I am absolutely ordering this! I will display him and an upgraded Animated Motormaster in their truck modes in a head-on collision to reenact that iconic G1 cartoon scene. I also got come gap-filling kits for Animated Prime and Motormaster that should not interfere with the DNA kits.
Finally received mine the other day and it turn a good figure into a great figure. The trailer in fire engine mode looks perfect.
I really want this one of the most disappointing thing of the figure is that it doesn't have his mouth guard. Im glad this upgrade kit added one 😅
Yes the mouthplate is nice!
@@PrimeVsPrime it's weird because so much of the promotional pictures don't feature the mouthplate.
@@MCPhatmanit’s because the mouth plate (and the goggles/head fins) are technically a pre-order exclusive.
0:30 DK-49 upgrade kit review when?
Speaking of which, DNA Design have just released DK-46DX, which is a re-release of the upgrade kits for SS 101 Scourge that were found in the DK-46 and DK-49 upgrade kits minus the articulated claw and mind control device from DK-46.
he already did it
He did the ROTB upgrades a while ago.
@@jalengatton DK-49 is the upgrade kit for Studio Series Battletrap and Nightbird as well as the rest of the upgrades for Scourge
I wish they had released the DX kit originally! It’s a little crafty on their part to reissue all the parts in accurate colour
This definitely is one of best upgrades kits from DNA😊
Completely agree!
Will buy the legacy Optimus prime for this upgrade kits. Fantastic review and good job!!
I never cared for Animated but I am liking the Legacy figures. I'm glad I ordered this set. Now I kind of want DNA designs go retro and see if THEY can do their take and do a modern update to Fansproject old City Commader set for the Classics Ultra Magnus.
It was f-ing worth it. It looks absolutely legendary.
This is one of the best DNA kits in a LONG time!
Agreed! They really did a great job!
I think Hasbro will eventually give us an official upgrade pack for this OP. The holes in the forearms and shoulders, the weird set up where you can bend the knees back to balance the weight the could-be jetwing that goes on OP's back. I don't know how but it will come to us.

I have the original toy and am wondering if the upgrade will be worth getting (mostly because I was underwhelmed with the stock toy)
This was also based on some of the concept art for the show. Also wished you compared him with the OG TFA Megatron. That would've been a great match.
If they added these with the toy then i would definitely buy it
That would’ve been cool!
FINALLY! I was wondering when we'd be able to see this! I seriously can't wait for my copy of this upgrade kit. And I've got a theory for the next Megatron figure we can get.

I'm definitely getting this kit once I get this figure
This is such an impressive kit. I don’t see Hasbro making this so I’ll get it down the road. Thanks for the review 😊
And that is nuts that the visor can be moved up a little! That's just nuts!
Incredible review! Amazing upgrades.
Wow, cool firefighter optimus prime Transformers: Earthspark Please Decepticon skywarp AND Nova Storm Please
Cant wait for my copy of this DNA kit, it looks awesome
That upgrade kit is the apex armour not wingblade, it was called it in the animated series
Incredible review! Optimus Prime looks amazing.
Never was a fam of this series but that's pretty cool
I just don;t like that the wings are so far away from the body, I get it why they need to be, but I still wish they were more flush with his back. That being said- most likely getting this kit for either Christmas or my birthday, this was my favorite prime and I love the look!
Hydrodive Bumblebee was NOT cancelled by Takara. Great review as usual!
Honestly might be the first kit I’ll ever get
It’s really very good!
been on the fence about it because of the price, just ordered it now B)
This may sound crazy, but this feels like Orion Pax becoming Optimus Prime. Like base form is before being given the Matrix and the DNA Design Upgrade kit is him becoming a full fledged Prime.
Keep it up prime vs prime click nice
The legs are really giving Fans Project City Commander
so cool 10/10 for me !
Me too!
I'm in my Prime, and this ain't even my final form
This track mode looks the closest too the cybertronian vehicle mode he hade on the vintage marvel comics isshue 1
An excellent trailer too 👍
Agreed! Equally as good as the jetpack!
Never realized how similar he is to *Cybertron Optimus Super Mode*
W video hope your well…it looks amazing if I get this animated prime I will have to get this aswell
Thanks mate for the well wishes! I hope you are well too!
That cannon gives me cybertron optimus prime vibes
I hope Ultra Magnus gets a legacy figure. He would be cool.
They better make an Animaed Ratchet!!
How did you get those Transformers animated toys if they no longer exist?
Which ones? The hydro dive Bumblebee? I don’t own that unfortunately
PrimeVPrime, are you ever gonna review the Baiwei 3.0 Studio Series Optimus? Cuz i think it's a figure that should be highlighted in the KO/3rd party toy scene.
HELL YEAHHH🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Let’s roll!”🔥
I hope BumbleBee gets ak upgrade kit as well...
Edit:
The original Jetpack BumbleBee was only cancelled in Hasbro markets. It was made into a Takara Tomy exclusive.
"My name is OPTIMUS PRIME!" - Optimus Prime, Transformers: Animated (the episode it's from, I have no idea. I haven't seen Season 3 yet.)
The piece of DNA Design Kit is the Mouth Plate.
He looks like Victory Saber with this kit.
I waited 15 years for this day.
Man!!! I really need to see and commader class Jet Power optimus prime in studio series line some Day
That would be epic!
@PrimeVsPrime yeah!!!
Got this kit and bought animated prime specifically because of this kit. Really beefs him up and stands out
Prime: it’s hammer time!
It’s PRIME time!
Power Optimus Prime!(US)
Galaxy Convoy! (Japanese)
def a really cool upgrade.
Ah yes a firetruck with canons that blends real well with the scenery optimus!
I want to know where he got all of the blast effects. I want so many more so my battle scene doesn't look like Omega Supreme destroying everyone while they stand still.
I’ve collected them from many different figures. Siege Jetfire, Hot Shot, Rodimus Prime and Magmatron just to name a few
@@PrimeVsPrime there has gotta be a market for blast effects
I think I speak for many when I ask if you can transform Optimus in truck mode without removing the faceplate.
This that fuego 🚒🔥🔥🔥
Optimus Prime upgrades. a hammer battle mask & Jetpack wings.
Definitely get this💯
Very cool video primevsprime
0:05 What manufacturer makes those sick flame 🔥 effects?
I thought you said that the previous upgrade kit from dna was your last?
Megatron:Now bring me the Allspark, and I may spare your miserable Autobot lifes.
Pls ss tfo sentinel or classic class sentinel next
I did review deluxe Sentinel. The other 2 I don’t have yet unfortunately
We're getting Marauder Megatron. I know it!
Where did you get that??? Because i really need it ASAP
So question would you review DK-51 the upgrade for Nova Prime or is that not something you plan on reviewing. I’m just curious.
I’m not really too sure I’m afraid 😥
@ I was just wondering
Missed ya PvP! Where is ss86 Galvatron??
I skipped this Peime, but now itsamust with the added kit making it leader class.
hydrodive bumblebee did make it out in japan
Hey, PvP. Do you by any chance know what happened to Baiwei? They just vanished
That is a very good question! I actually don’t know 😫
the fully fire truck mode optimus prime
Just perfect!!!
PvP, u should join my live later today or tm. I have a holy grail coming in
Hello mate! I hope your live went well!
