What I also like about this figure, is there are not many fake parts like modern masterpiece figures. The vents of the truck is the abs of the robot, the gas tanks in robot mode turn into part of the truck gas tanks, also, the doors are not coming out from legs like MP 44. The transformation makes sense.
Funnily enough they upscaled it into MP scale, so if you wanted a good third party MP scale Prime, there you go. I actually have one, and it might just become my gateway to collecting Transformers.
Theres no doubt in my mind, as a collector, seeing many iterations of g1 cartoon optimus from official to 3rd party, this mold is SUPERIOR. No other mold that I can recollect can even come close to this figure. Also, you forgot that this guy also comes with a toe tilt, thats even better than mp44. Great review for a great figure!
Thanks for reminding me the toe tilt, my bad. Magic Square borrows and improves upon previous designs is a good move, making this design more mature and polished.
@@OptimusLegends I totally agree! Also, I just learned why they chose to use nylon instead of plastic, its actually more dense than plastic, so therefore its actually more durable than plastic! This is amazing because Magic square knew the fact that transformers are meant to be played with, so they decided to make their toys as durable as possible! Ive had my Ms Megatron, and I was so suprized when I was disconnecting the joints to make them tighter, how durable that tiny figure really is! I can tell you that, even though these figs are expensive, your definetly getting your money's worth, because not only do they look like a mini masterpiece, theyre a heck of a lot more durable than masterpiece, and therefore you can play with them (Duh theyre toys their supposed to be played with!) and on top of that, theyll last for a long time (thanks to the nylon). I know that the figures themselves lack paint, but hey, its a small sacrafice for the quality that your paying for, cuz even with some of the NA figures I own like Lucifer starscream and Bumblebee and Cliff all feel like a little more fragile than the ms Megs. I applaud Ms for being a company that cares about the fanbases love for the G1 cartoons, as well as playability and quality.

I love newage david but this looks so beautifully cartoony and so accurate and I love the extra accessories that david lacks. I wish it included his injured abdomen piece like MP-44 and I kinda wish that it didn’t have the white stripe in truck mode but other than that it’s basically perfect
Same here. And after having these guys for a few week, I really like how these extra accessories are so useful for posing and photos, and on top of that, not having to worry about paint chipping is so relieving.
Yeah. I don't know if could add lED lights change colors. 🤔😇😊😋or stickers that better like female Dolls clothing.we can draw one easy or just day dream time .things be made.
@@OptimusLegends BTW, I see you have MP 1. There doesn't appear to be any good or modern reviews for that figure. Even though it's old, it would be cool to see you review it someday.
@@illiteratedino Again, great advice! I still remembered my obsession for MP 1 and how much trouble I went through to get it, like 19 years ago? It's probably an emotional review. XD
When I was younger, I would always say to myself: "If I ever was turned into one of my toys, I'd want to be my Optimus Prime figure". This figure is so cool! It's everything I could ever want in a transformer! If I were to be magically turned into a toy, this would be my figure of choice.
I guess we have all done it, mimicking how Optimus Prime transforms in the cartoon by tucking our arms around the waist, and people like us do that all the time in cosplay shows.
i've been crushing on this figure for a while. hands down the best g1 style optimus i've ever witnessed. I admit i do prefer other optimus prime figures too, such as mp-10 and primorion, but if we're going by accuracy, ms-b46 takes the win home any day for me. if they upscaled it to be MP scale, i'd buy it in a heartbeat (if the price is no more than $300)
Can't agree more. B46 really nailed it, and Magic Square taking inspiration from previous Optimus figures and making incremental progress on top of proven designs is a good move. Limited fake parts, perfect sculpt, I think every fan would want a MP version of it.
absolutely love this Prime, one of the best g1 Prime figures out there right now, with some incredible articulation. Now waiting on the clear window version and metallic repaint. The nylon material allows for more intricate transformations, Magic Square Devastator is the ultimate example. While it has it's quirks, I really like the material, as the matte finish gives it a real cartoon vibe and the stuff is almost indestructible. Very nice review btw, I like your style and you've got one more sub!
Wow, thanks, Steven!! Could not agree more, nylon is a good choice for the engineering and the style, and magic square really took advantage of its nature making these incredibly cartoon accurate figures with smooth and fun transformation, on such a small scale. B46's sculpt is so far, the best representation of cartoon Prime.
I saw many other people having a hard time connecting his trailer to the semi. So here's an attempt to describe how to make the process much easier: -Have the blue circular trailer connect on the trailer, then rotate it upside down where the tabs align with the semi's flatbed tab slots. -Flip one side of the blue flatbed's flap rightside up where the slot is now facing outward. This gives you a better angle to see the slot from the side. -Connect the trailer's tab into that one part of the flatbed you rotated outward. -Flatten that flap back down onto the flatbed while its still attached to the trailer. -Now, since one side of the flatbed is firmly connected to the trailer, it is much easier to tab in the other side of the flatbed to the trailer since they are somewhat more aligned now. Just gotta give it a good push while applying upward pressure from the bottom of the semi bed. Even if you can't get the other side tabbed, the initial side you tabbed should be enough to provide a connection strong enough to have the semi pull the trailer around. Hope this helps. (By the way, love your cinematic, well-produced videos, Optimus Legends.)
this optimus is by far superior to his masterpiece brother. If magic square made this figure in masterpiece scale, with rachets, and metal parts, it would be the definitive optimus.
Use a hair dryer to get the pieces off that you want replaced for the other spare pieces, that or hot water, it will usually allow separation of parts without breaking them
This figure looks so amazing 🤩! I want one! On the downside, The altmode trailer has that picket fence at the bottom still. When was that ever shown in our youth? That’s not Cartoon or toy accurate.
Magic Square will fix the repairing bay and re-release it soon, I recommend to have the complete version. The fence was introduced by MP 10, and it became part of the deal ever since, they are removable, will leave a peg hole though, didn't mention in the video.
@@OptimusLegends Oh yeah I know about it . I’ve been a critic of that since then. But you know how everyone is trying to be such a stickler for toon accuracy. It just kind of came out of nowhere and continues to be duplicated. Oh well, you can’t win’em all. Great review btw. Keep up the good work and style👍🏾
Wow! What an awesome review! I'm really lovin your style and clicked immediately when it came up! In those opening shots of transformation, all I could think is this is amazing and it actually looks FUN while being a mini masterpiece! So cool! I don't collect legends but have been more and more interested lately with these more recent designs. I may go for it! I hope they really get the repair bay figured out cuz someone got the so called updated replacement from Bombusbee but it looked as bad as the pic of that bad batch. Anyway, loved the review, thanks!😁
Thanks Steve!! Thank you so much for your support! I haven't got any legend scale since maybe new age Megatron, and only just picked them up a few weeks ago, legend scale figures have improved quite a bit, no visible ball joints, insane articulation, and close to perfect sculpt. So I only just picked magic square Hound, and it was a big surprise, so tried Optimus, and that's why I created this video, it's simply amazing. The downside is the material does not cool and premium, and they are getting pricy. Hope they could fix the repairing station soon and re-release a complete version.
Awesome 📹 👌, sculpt wise he looks amazing but I just can't justify magic square charging $110 for an unpainted no hardware legends scale figure, I have Mp-44 and I bought newage David for $78 on po and imo u definitely get ur money's worth with him even die-cast, and his articulation is right on par with the magic square, I've always said it if magic square would actually paint their figures newage better watch it cause I think ms has mp engineering on legends ⚖️ figures and that is very impressive, look at their Devastator to me that right now is the definitive Devastator for any scale that's how good he looks and the engineering and articulation is 2nd to none, now manipulating the joints 😱 thats a different story 🤣🤣👍...but this Optimus Prime does look amazing 🙏🙏 thanx again buddy
Hi Asaph, how you have you been! Your comments are all on point, this is a pricy legend figure. I am not quite sure why they won't paint their products, maybe nylon is not a friendly material? Let's hope they could listen to their customers, and improve on the materials and paint to make their figure get the right value from the price.
I have both the Magic Square and Newage Megatron, and MP engineering at legends scale is right… it’s just not necessarily a complement, because the Magic Square is just a royal pain to transform. Yes the engineering is impressive, and I think the MS look more complete and filled-in in both modes, but after playing with it I don’t think MP-level engineering is what I even WANT in a Legends figure, because it basically just ensures I’ll never actually transform them, whereas I quite like transforming my Newage figures due to their effective yet simple transformations.
@@sssspider yeah I hear u,some collectors like complicated transformations like myself but I definitely understand not wanting to deal with that in a legends scale figure, I collect Mp's(a few legends here and there)so I definitely appreciate the engineering that goes in2 them 👍
Been waiting months for Magic Square to get this guy back in stock and he's finally available again. Ordered immediately. Not cheap but, I think it's worth it. My first Magic Square toy was the Masterpiece version of this guy and I've been buying MS figures ever since. Only figure I'm wanting and still missing is Prowl. I just got Hound along with this guy and I can't wait to get him in hand.
Damn..! awesome figure and the review. The way you deliver it pushes me to have solid decision to buy this figure. I very much thank you for the video 👍👍
Perspective End was the only guy I heard praise this mold for a while (or the shared-engineering-MP-scale one, at least) Why has this gone under the radar for so long?
WOW! MAM ALIVE! I have NEVER seen one was as good as this one. And I actually wouldn't mind having one these since my Seige series one came with a defect with the left shoulder ball and socket joint assembly being placed in upside down witch causes serious stress on the entire arm. And this looks to be about the exact same scale. I'm definitely going to have to keep my optics open for this one.
Hi Tyler, glad you liked the video. This Optimus is about 4.5 inches / 11.5 cm tall, much shorter than Siege Prime, they are of different scales. But it's a good Prime, the fixed version comes out in June, good luck!
Dang ?! Magic square and Newage are ABSOLUTELY KILLING IT !!! Their mini lines are very very awesome ! Great looking in both forms ! As a matter of fact they both beat out tacara and hasbro by a fare margin ( and I mean in ANY of tacara or hasbro's lines including masterpiece) better in all these ways- Looks both as a vehicle and robot. Better transformations. Far better robot action figure articulation! Far better price. Better accessories. Better scale within their universe/product line. They brought me back to transformers. They made it fun again.
Amazing figure, but even more amazing is your review style. Brand new subscriber just now. I'm seriously impressed with the quality of everything in this review
I've never really looked into 3rd-party legends figures. I've yet to dip my toes into 3rd party in general, but I found out ShowZ has cheap shipping to Ireland and... this is very dangerous for me. Oh no. That said, I heard negative things about MS's plastic. But watching you transform it just looked so... comfy, I guess you could say? Like the way things plugged in during transformation almost seemed therapeutic. And I'm glad you talked about the fun factor of the figure as a transforming toy, because it seems like most reviews of 3rd party figures I find purely talk about aesthetics and not fun factor! I thought it mightn't be fun to transform something so complex at that size, but I may be mistaken there XD
Me either, well, before this Prime. I just blindly collect MPs until the price went crazy, and also, there were less MPs being released. And that's when I found MSToys, their earlier products were not good, not until Hound in my opinion, and it is a very different experience collecting these tiny transformers.
@@OptimusLegends So just as an update; I got this figure yesterday and. Uh. Yeah. This transformation's gonna take a *while* to master. The sliders the front wheels are on are a bit too tight, but I still think it's a fun process! Also, the gun blast effect doubles as a slender, yet convincing, energy sword. I love accidental play features!
This is the first video I've seen on this channel and I love your review style - this doesn't feel like a typical TF channel, and i very much mean that in a good way! Subscribed! Thanks mate.

Thank you, Noel! For the setup, I am using Sony a6300, and switching between two prime lenses. 50mm for the figure shot and photos, 35mm macro for the details. Video is only 1080p though.
@@OptimusLegends Thank you for sharing. I really love the clarity of the video even at 1080p. I could well be looking at getting your setup for my future use.
@@NoelLee89 No problem, Noel. Although a6300 ages really well, I would recommend to look into the newer version, with better 4K capabilities and auto focus features. The video clarity comes mainly from good prime lenses, highly recommend.
Are the autobot decals on his shoulder and trailer included? All of the company photos don’t show it, and the ones I’ve seen on Instagram are 50/50 with and without. Thanks! Great review; I just dipped my toe into the waters and ordered one because of you!
Just awesome, like totally for sure this is. My favorite 2 transformers is and will always be Optimus prime and sound wave. Even though sound wave is a decepticon, he still is a cool character
Hi Rafael, I am not familiar with stop motions, but compared to most transformer figures and action figures, the articulation of this Prime is outstanding. Hope it helps.
I don’t get the stripe on the truck. It’s not like they had to put it there, and it would spare us the stripe on the back of the arms in robot mode. I usually don’t mind the stripe on the truck, I just wish it could’ve been a chrome or silver strip as opposed to a flat grey color
now i just ordered the version of MS-B46E i have seens many videos and i think is better than the legends version of NewAge, the only issue maybe is the part os the accesories, another par of hands can be the difference, hope i get the same good feeling i got with my Grimlock of newage :)
Great design.
No faux grille, no faux windshield.
Its just... transform.
Everything is great.

A simple transformation which results in a really good vehicle mode. Eat your heart out Takara and Hasbro.

Holy crap, this is brilliant!! 😯 I was so worried this would fall into the same trappings as MP-44, but it actually looks really well-done!
It borrowed and improved upon MP44's design, also their own 1.0 Prime.
Holy crap 🤣
I can't believe it's so small and yet retains the complexity of the big models
The use of nylon really helped.
Person: “Optimus, how do you feel while transforming?” Optimus: “P A I N”
This has got to be one of the most refreshing video of Transformer toy review I've seen to-date. Looking forward to more!

Hope yours arrives soon! Enjoy!
No kibble in robot mode and no gaping hole in the back on alt mode, perfection
Where'd you get the movable hands? Did it come with it?
Perspective End was the only guy I heard praise this mold for a while (or the shared-engineering-MP-scale one, at least)
Why has this gone under the radar for so long?
I guess everyone is still waiting for the fixed version to come out.
WOW!
MAM ALIVE!
I have NEVER seen one was as good as this one. And I actually wouldn't mind having one these since my Seige series one came with a defect with the left shoulder ball and socket joint assembly being placed in upside down witch causes serious stress on the entire arm. And this looks to be about the exact same scale. I'm definitely going to have to keep my optics open for this one.
Hi Tyler, glad you liked the video.
This Optimus is about 4.5 inches / 11.5 cm tall, much shorter than Siege Prime, they are of different scales.
But it's a good Prime, the fixed version comes out in June, good luck!
I love the transformation of this figure
Great review, but it would have been better to have seen the side-by-side comparison between this and the previous Legends-scale MS Optimus Prime.
Dang ?! Magic square and Newage are ABSOLUTELY KILLING IT !!! Their mini lines are very very awesome ! Great looking in both forms ! As a matter of fact they both beat out tacara and hasbro by a fare margin ( and I mean in ANY of tacara or hasbro's lines including masterpiece) better in all these ways-
Looks both as a vehicle and robot.
Better transformations.
Far better robot action figure articulation!
Far better price.
Better accessories.
Better scale within their universe/product line.
They brought me back to transformers. They made it fun again.
Amazing figure, but even more amazing is your review style. Brand new subscriber just now. I'm seriously impressed with the quality of everything in this review
Thank you John, so great to have you!
Will do my best creating more and better videos!
Imagine this same mold but oversized to MP scale. It will give MP-44 and TE-01 a run for their money.
Not sure if MSToy will upscale this design themselves, maybe depend on the sales of this legend figure.
I would love for them to do it, I hope so
theres just something about high quality mini transformers with lots of articulation is jist unexplainable. i love them too much!
Hope you get your copy soon, and enjoy!
@@OptimusLegends theyre too expensive :(
@@ShinZprime Yeah... a pricy one.
I've never really looked into 3rd-party legends figures. I've yet to dip my toes into 3rd party in general, but I found out ShowZ has cheap shipping to Ireland and... this is very dangerous for me. Oh no.
That said, I heard negative things about MS's plastic. But watching you transform it just looked so... comfy, I guess you could say? Like the way things plugged in during transformation almost seemed therapeutic. And I'm glad you talked about the fun factor of the figure as a transforming toy, because it seems like most reviews of 3rd party figures I find purely talk about aesthetics and not fun factor! I thought it mightn't be fun to transform something so complex at that size, but I may be mistaken there XD
Me either, well, before this Prime. I just blindly collect MPs until the price went crazy, and also, there were less MPs being released.
And that's when I found MSToys, their earlier products were not good, not until Hound in my opinion, and it is a very different experience collecting these tiny transformers.
@@OptimusLegends So just as an update; I got this figure yesterday and.
Uh.
Yeah. This transformation's gonna take a *while* to master. The sliders the front wheels are on are a bit too tight, but I still think it's a fun process!
Also, the gun blast effect doubles as a slender, yet convincing, energy sword.
I love accidental play features!
THAT'S A LOT OF DETAIL, FOR THAT SIZE, WOW!
Wow, incredible figure and superb well put together video 📹 👏🏻
Thanks man!! Glad you liked it!
This shows that a lot of modern mp figures are overcomplicated with no reason at all
Near perfection! My only complaint is the lack of blue stripes on the trailer.
There's 3rd party decal for the blue stripes.
This is the first video I've seen on this channel and I love your review style - this doesn't feel like a typical TF channel, and i very much mean that in a good way! Subscribed! Thanks mate.
Really glad you enjoyed the video, welcome to the club, Ben!
Where can I get him?
google is your friend ...
😎😇😊😀😁🙂🤗🤔thank you Hasbro Japanese too Chinese mom son and father son thank you 🙏 I hope you get extra food since you all out number us. Transformers dreamers.😀😊😋😇

@@jameshansing5396change your tampon already 🙄
Tfsafari, Showzstore, and bombusbee
tiny opttimuuusss looks so fun to handle....defs gonna try to get him at some point
I would love for you to release this larger size figure, this figure is perfect.
Yeah, it would be nice, isn't it. Let's hope Magic Square has a plan for that.
yeah, just like what they did with the first one
this is amazing work! I have a small Optimus Prime figure from the worlds smallest, but nothing near this complex!
i love how this 2022 version has improved from 2019 toys
I missed the 2019 version, but luckily caught up in time and this new one is my favorite.
I have this figure and GOODNESS GRACIOUS I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FIGURE!!!
Man would of been great to compare it with newage David. I love your vids
Thanks!!
I haven't ordered David yet, will try to get one soon!
@@OptimusLegends you are the best!!!
@@angryangel No problem! Want to see David myself for quite some time!
@@OptimusLegends can't wait for your review
I honestly still want light of freedom, but this makes me want to get into legends scale figures. (Still would prefer light of freedom)
I got into legend scale figures more seriously because of this one.
Great video. What aftermarket autobot insignia are you using?
Got them from Hasbro, will do a quick review about them soon.
An Optimus Prime this small is going to make the smaller Autobots like Bumblebee and Cliffjumper look big next to him
Magic Square has released their version of Bumblebee and Cliffjumper and they scale perfectly with v2 Prime.
@@barbahuub I just wanted to see Bumblebee and Cliffjumper look huge next to Optimus Prime for once🤣
JobbyTheHong: *Sweats on wallet*
Excellent review.
What I wish to know is what camera did you use to make this video?
The focus and clarity is as good as the figure itself.
Thank you, Noel!
For the setup, I am using Sony a6300, and switching between two prime lenses. 50mm for the figure shot and photos, 35mm macro for the details. Video is only 1080p though.
@@OptimusLegends
Thank you for sharing.
I really love the clarity of the video even at 1080p.
I could well be looking at getting your setup for my future use.
@@NoelLee89 No problem, Noel. Although a6300 ages really well, I would recommend to look into the newer version, with better 4K capabilities and auto focus features. The video clarity comes mainly from good prime lenses, highly recommend.
This figure needs a overzise to fit with masterpiece transformers because the figure looks and engendering is amazing and very simple
That doesn't cost 500 £/$
The paint part is actually a good part so it doesn’t get scratched and noticeable
Are the autobot decals on his shoulder and trailer included? All of the company photos don’t show it, and the ones I’ve seen on Instagram are 50/50 with and without. Thanks! Great review; I just dipped my toe into the waters and ordered one because of you!
No, it is a separate piece, I had a review about the stickers here th-cam.com/video/Ugsav_xJwVg/w-d-xo.html.
And hope you are enjoying the journey!
Great Transformation. So much to do, very impressive!!✨😲✨
Thank you! 🤗
Great figure with good transformation design, pure joy!
Optimus Prime is my favorite action figure and movie character.
Welcome to the club.
Great review. Where did you get the Autobot insignia from?
Do you have a link to where you bought the sticker for the Autobot logo? I'm planning on buying one of these myself!
At this small of a scale, and it manages to look better than MP44 in almost every conceivable capacity. How.
It's a 2.0 update, it took them some time to get here.
Just awesome, like totally for sure this is.
My favorite 2 transformers is and will always be Optimus prime and sound wave.
Even though sound wave is a decepticon, he still is a cool character
Welcome to the club, Shawn!
@@OptimusLegends
Thank you very much
Hey I'm planning on buying this for stop-motion animation, would you say it has a REALLY good articulation?
I'd be really pleased if you reply :)
Hi Rafael, I am not familiar with stop motions, but compared to most transformer figures and action figures, the articulation of this Prime is outstanding.
Hope it helps.
@@OptimusLegends woa thx for answering so quickly also thx for the info 🤝
You're a cool guy 😎
@@Rafael_Peixoto No problem, looking forward to watching your stop motion films with this little guy.
It's so funny that they can make this figure but look at Spike. It looks like an afterthought.
Hi Roderick, this is the Spike from MP 10.
I want to see this mold used as a base for a G1 accurate white prime ultra Magnus, armor and all.
MSToys does have their Magnus, not sure if they would have a white version though.
Next to that Ark and Metroplex? Woah boy.
Technically they don't really scale that well with legend Scale Optimus, but when put together, it's still very satisfying.
Great video!!
Thanks Alan!
The Megatron in this video that you showed along with Prime, please do a review on it too as you did with this figure.
Hi Jessie, thanks for the advice, will try to put it in my schedule.
"Its the Small Tings That Matter" - Someone very smart
Imagine an oversize of this model, it would be great
Many fans share the same thought, hope they MS could really scale it up!
wish has been granted
@@unknownguy2051 wow, i never expected it, where can i find it?
Just received mine today! Best birthday present ever! Thanks for the review!
Happy birthday, Kevin!
this is now in perfect scale with 01 studio cell
It must look very satisfying putting them together.
I just ordered this guy. I was wondering from where and which decals did you use on this figure?
Hi there, it's the official logos, more details here: th-cam.com/video/Ugsav_xJwVg/w-d-xo.html.
What's the minicon you used for size comparison at 2:46 ?
War for Cybertron will be over before Optimums Prime has finished his transformation.
Maybe I should speed up the transformation for Prime to save the day. XD
I really hope we get more repaints of these mold, because the full set is a bit out of my budget.
The fixed full set is coming out next month, and then there might be some other repaint I guess.
OK, you caught me offguard with the wagglehead. :D
Hey, I like your choice of music 🎶 it's so catchy, it makes me want to get up and 💃 dance!! Awesome!!👍 👍 🎶 🎶 :)😊
Amazing vid... which Megatron is that. ?
Thanks! It's H9EX Megatron from NewAge.
@@OptimusLegends thanks so much for getting back... they make a great set...
I don’t get the stripe on the truck. It’s not like they had to put it there, and it would spare us the stripe on the back of the arms in robot mode. I usually don’t mind the stripe on the truck, I just wish it could’ve been a chrome or silver strip as opposed to a flat grey color
This would scale perfectly with the Ark
These tiny bots look amazing around the Ark.
0:23 The guy just ripped out his spinal cord 0_0 anyway this is a relly good optimus
It looks like a mini mp44 without the backpack. I wish they release a masterpiece size version of this figure, it will outsell TE01.
Getting the sculpt right is very crucial, TE is doing a very good job, and so is MSToys.
now i just ordered the version of MS-B46E i have seens many videos and i think is better than the legends version of NewAge, the only issue maybe is the part os the accesories, another par of hands can be the difference, hope i get the same good feeling i got with my Grimlock of newage :)
How does that middle connector feel?
If you meant the lever, it holds pretty well, but if you hold the chest and shake it, will break loose.
This is unbelievable......wow :O !
I want 3 of those!!
I LIKE THE TRANSFORMERS
So what was so bad on the repair bay mold that they decided to just not include it? Any mention from them on fixing that in a 3.0 release?
Hi Jeff, I bought the flawed bay for another 5 dollars, and went for some details in another video: th-cam.com/video/IvGWIHGm58I/w-d-xo.html.
Woow jobbythehong would love this kinda 3rd party figure
