If you have Ss38 already and don’t mind it you can use those shoulders on ss102. It looks a little uglier, but it’s significantly less expensive if you already have Ss38.
@@MassterF I tried with the Nemesis KO, painting them and everything, but apparently the shoulder mushroom pegs aren’t the same size. They flex uncontrollably so unfortunately that’s not the best solution
Honestly the fact that you actually put figures through the pose test in order to make them look as cool as they possibly can is why you are my favorite Transformers reviewer on TH-cam. Everyone else just has the figures static and does the normal transformation stuff and then ends the video but you actually try to highlight just how awesome these figures can be!
They (sort of) fixed one of my big issues with this figure: he now has proper shoulders! Also, I have complained a lot about the hip articulation, even though it's not as bad as I once thought.
I think GoBetter's kit did his truck mode a bit more justice but the accessories that come with the DNA kit, along with the shoulder fix are an absolute must-have
I'm not sure which one to get between the two, I've looked at some reviews for the Go-Bettter hit and they say it has really tight tolerances, along with pieces snapping upon applying them.
Man those shoulders are looking soooooo much better than the original ones! And the new accessories too, it's so good. To the point where i was actually waiting for an upgrade kit to release before i got him. Buuuuut now im gonna have to find that SS 102 Optimus now, somehow lol
I didn't knew you were useing Neffex song called *Don't Wanna Let Myself Down* i just found it of the sounds and the vibes you normally useing in your TF videos but a way i whish there was a nemesis Prime from ROTB. Thanks for the update about Optimus Prime 🤗
after the delay they had im glad someone finally managed to get a kit to show it off. whenever mine comes in im gonna mix it with the go-better kit to extra upgrade my SS 102 optimus
That is cool but I prefer to keep it as non-glowing blade. Same for the axe. I would like DNA didn't paint tip of the both axes and leave one of them unpainted. I don't have the axe that comes with Primal yet but I have this kit.
Noah didn't roll out into battle with the Autobots and the Maximals. He used his jetpack to help give Prime a speed boost when they were running away from the collapsing space bridge.
Ever since seeing images of this upgrade set, I’ve been waiting for someone to review it. And after watching the review, I’m definitely getting this set. So, when I do get the SS/BB ROTB Optimus Prime, I’ll be installing this set.
@@PrimeVsPrime he's fantastic I love your review on him you do perfect reviews. Might get the ss 102 optimus prime with the kit. Good review by the way pvp
It's kinda sad that the upgrade kit doesn't hide his leg joints completely in his vehicle form, because if they would have achieve that, it could have been a 10/10 SS figure. I'm not saying that it's as bad as before the upgrade kit, but the problem is still there kinda. But in case of this figure, I don't think any upgrade kit would have helped, unless Hasbro decides to redesign him in the future.
I just got this guy for Christmas and I had to pay scalper prices now im gonna have to get this and pay more to make my prime look perfect XD but with or without the upgrade kit this thing brings me so much joy and whenever i handle this guy and play with him my depression goes away so he literally lights my darkest hour PUN INTENDED thanks for the awesome review prime vs prime
I prefer the baiwei version, its soo much better, cheaper, better design, better quality, and it has the upgrade kit as a bonus! it is way better than the studio series optimus prime rotb.
Hopefully after watching this video DNA Designs would realize this little issue with the feet and bring out an update of the upgrade kit but still very awesome upgrade kit video today! 👍🔥🔥🔥
Besides the feet. The upgrade kits look pretty seamless. Maybe you could look into trying the Floor polish to stiffen the toe joint. Weapons look pretty great.
Just got mine and my only issues are the arms are too tight on the mushroom pegs while the new shoulder hinge is too loose, and when i use the trailer adapter it seems like its too small and only fits by putting the legs at an angle, so i may need to do some modifications
I plan on trying out “Frankenstein-ing” this SS102 ROTB prime using this kit and the Go Better Studios upgrade kit, mainly to cover the exposed back area of the cab in truck mode. Hopefully there’s a way to do so, If I can get my hands on the Go Better Studios kit of course.
Mine was cancelled threw target more than once and yet the day it was scheduled to release Hasbro out of the blue restocked at the end of July and I managed to order him
To help out massively… go better studios has a kit that makes it spot on to the film but it doesn’t have the upgraded canons or any additional accessories unless you actually look for it. The kit makes the back in vehicle mode look accurate (no there is not a trailer port) but the kit fills gaps and satisfies the needs for most people to fill in unnecessary gaps. You’re welcome. 😊
Except the shoulders, smokestacks, and feet, i would want this kit. The most important parts for me are the leg slot and peg, cannond and blades. But im pretty satisfies with the base fig, so rn i mostly want yp scourge
Just got mine in the mail so excited to redo the shoulders and 2 screws will not come out so ll1 screw out of either shoulder but other 2 won't come out not stripped am stuck with normal shoulders for now till i can figure out how to get them out 😢
They should have made it so that the toes can't articulate upwards, you might lose a tiny bit of possibility in the feet but hey, now he can actually stand. Is Prime's loose toe joints a common issue or did he just get unlucky?
I listened to this on the way home from work, so its possible i missed it, but can he still transform while all of the upgrades are installed? I've always been super particular about my transformers transforming 🤣🤣
It looks fantastic man I love it, it would be nice to maybe keep the original legs for Optimus prime and also I would love to see the transformation as well and keep up the good work can’t wait to see more
I’m considering getting this kit because if you ask me, the shoulder upgrade is an ABSOLUTE necessary upgrade
If you have Ss38 already and don’t mind it you can use those shoulders on ss102. It looks a little uglier, but it’s significantly less expensive if you already have Ss38.
@@MassterF yeah but the problem is he can’t transform with those shoulders
@@MassterF I tried with the Nemesis KO, painting them and everything, but apparently the shoulder mushroom pegs aren’t the same size. They flex uncontrollably so unfortunately that’s not the best solution
@@StrykerPrimeProductions Ah I see. Then I do recommend the upgrade kit. Wouldn’t wanna break either figure.
Completely agree! The shoulders are a game changer!

The shoulders are so much better!

Mostly his foot, completely justified as reference like in film accurate. Go better studio are better
yeah, i seen it, looks so much cleaner@@doomrage2012
I'm not sure which one to get between the two, I've looked at some reviews for the Go-Bettter hit and they say it has really tight tolerances, along with pieces snapping upon applying them.
Yes! Yes! I am so happy that you finally got the DNA upgrade kit. I can't wait for Scourge and terrorcon DNA upgrade kit.
I’m really looking forward to those kits!
i think that will be a popular review@@PrimeVsPrime.
@@PrimeVsPrimeI hope so.
This DNA upgrade kit is great but Scourge's kit is gonna be even better and I'm also excited for the other kit for yolopark Optimus Prime

Btw for anyone who gets this kit, you can take the original sword he came with and make it into the melted one he had at the end

Damn, and here I am still waiting for mine to ship… good to finally see the kit outside of pictures
Wow this DNA upgrade kit looks so awesome thank you so much for this preview.

Thanks for reviewing! Such a great price for a little upgrade, the upgrade kit even cost more than the figure itself...
Thanks so much for checking it out!
Love your vids man keep it up
Thanks so much!

Prime I can't wait for your review of the transformers legacy united titan tidal wave
I kinda wish that Noah was articulated and had an actual face.
Wow this upgrade looks awesome! Great review PVP!
Thank you very much! 👊🏻🔥
I used a gift card for this and got the go better kit too, my optimus is gonna look so good when they come
Now we need a KO company to bundle prime with these upgrades.
YAASSSSSS!!!! Looks sooo much better in both modes and that lil Noah is dope too!!! I need this one
Man it’s good to see dna design return now I really want to see more
0:15 The Autobot gang is back again people! And where in this world did you get SS Pablo Wheeljack?
Is this dna kit compatible with studio series ss122 optimus prime (takara tomy version)
Hopefully after watching this video DNA Designs would realize this little issue with the feet and bring out an update of the upgrade kit but still very awesome upgrade kit video today! 👍🔥🔥🔥
I would really hope so!
@@PrimeVsPrime also hope we can get to see studio series rise of the beast wheeljack!!!😁🔥🔥🔥
I hate the trigger happy shoulders but to be honest I think they should release a separate kit with just the leg upgrade
*GAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP*
HE'S NOW GOT AN UPGRADE KIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video Man! Can't wait for Deathsaurus!!
Let Them Come
- Optimus Prime
I finally got my SS Leader Class Scourge figure! And he is banging, can't wait to buy him that upcoming upgrade kit!
The upgrade kit is straight fire!🔥
Thank you for the review. I’m kinda glad I didn’t get the kit now. Especially with the Reactivate Prime taking the Prime of the Year award for me
1:22
Optimus Prime be like: To show you the power of a prime, I sawed Scourge’s head off!
[insert flex tape meme here]
i just got mine in today and couldn't be happier with it was definitely worth the pick-up.
Are you sure?
I'm struggling deciding if I should pick this kit or instead pick up the baiwei KO. 😢
@@DiegoA-bv2gj i personally love it but i already had 102 if you don't have 102 i say get the baiwei.
Love the arm guns
Me too! They’re awesome! 👌🏻🔥
I hope that you'll review the DNA designs upgrade kit for scourge!, it would be AMAZZINNGG!
yo can you unbox rhinox from yolopark it’s out rn and I really wanna see what it looks like plus “Optimus primes upgrades” thank you😃
I need this Dk kits for my Optimus prime immediately
Completely awesome, this is what we needed
Absolutely! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm going to get my favorite character Optimus prime
Wicked! 🔥🔥🔥

The fact that Hasbro limited this to target was the worse decision ever. My order was cancelled by target and it was such a shame
Mine was cancelled threw target more than once and yet the day it was scheduled to release Hasbro out of the blue restocked at the end of July and I managed to order him
Wow i was waiting for the day we would get a DNA upgrade for him
Me too! It’s been a long time coming!
Prime with Yolopark scourge is 🔥🔥
Completely agree! It’s a great pairing!
Oh finally you show the full wheeljack robot mode after showing it on Instagram
🔥🔥🔥
i’m going to look for this upgrade kit when i get this prime
Awesome
So would you say you would save the original parts in case you lose some of the upgrades? Or would you just throw them away?
Amazing! My figure is in desperate need of that kit. I’m gonna see if I can get one.

Rotb Optimus Prime looks so Perfect with that upgrade kit
Agreed! 🔥🔥🔥
I wished they had an accessory of scourge's ripped head and it could slide onto optimus energon blade to recreate that epic scene
The shoulder's are cool, but we need a kit that fixes 3 things: the truckbed, the gap in the back, and the shoulders.
I just ordered this upgrade kit
Great review! Hopefully my kit comes in soon.
Can you keep the original feet on the legs for the truck transformation with the upgrade kit installed?
I just got 102 and gamer edition starscream they are both absolutely amazing
Oh wicked! I’m glad you like them!
I am getting this to go with the Black Mamba KO. Though I also want that other upgrade kit that completes the truck mode more
I am looking forward to seeing what the KO companies can do with this Prime!
"I am going to take back Scourges key, and then.. TAKE OFF HIS HEAD!!!!" He looks so much better with the upgrades!
Agree! A true Prime!
I heard there’s an upgrade kit available for the studio series woc optimus prime and it looks good
Do you think that the loose toes can be fixed with something like Kiki's or some type of joint fixer?
I wish they could sell the shoulder pieces separately 😔💔
Me too. 😢
I pre-ordered this and I'm so happy
I hope you like it!
@PrimeVsPrime I definitely will! I just hope it delivers soon lol they haven't given me an update
Gonna see if I can combine this with the upcoming Bawei KO to make the ultimate ROTB Optimus
I watch your vids for transformation and reviews 😊
How do you already have as wheeljack?????
I listened to this on the way home from work, so its possible i missed it, but can he still transform while all of the upgrades are installed?
I've always been super particular about my transformers transforming 🤣🤣
How did you get the second sword for ss Nightbird?
I bought a second figure 😭
Aw man, my monies!!!!!!
The upgrades are a little expensive. Are you sure they're all worth it?
If you what a movie accurate transformer than yes if not and they just sit on the self collecting dust then yes
I have I just got the upgrade kit for my birthday and it took the action fugue to a whole new level
Can this work with the movie voyager? In Puerto Rico we cant get the target exclusive
It looks fantastic man I love it, it would be nice to maybe keep the original legs for Optimus prime and also I would love to see the transformation as well and keep up the good work can’t wait to see more
Yesssirrrr looks to good
🔥🔥🔥 it’s wicked!
I went on the page for it and there was only the smoke stacks no full shoulder does it come with shoulder???
I wish they should make unmasked optimus prime head for DNA upgrade kit.
Will you look at the WFC Megatron gamer edition upgrade kit? It fixes the backpack and adds a much larger cannon!
