@24:47 Shocking nope, that's pretty close to the quote used for the TFCC Subscription version of Scourge from 2013, though it uses "Vengeance" instead of revenge
I love how lockdown atleast points out when hes fucked up something or made a mistake, makes me know that lockdown actually knows when something is his fault, and something isnt
Please note the anniversary special, "Every WFC Figure", has been pushed back to the 3rd of December. It is proving to be a logistical nightmare. Apologies.
15:27 I reckon if combiners get a pass for "skeleton which passes pieces around" lego transformers sure as hell shd. I'd argue that designing a lego robot (forget transforming even) at such a scale is more ambitious than a combiner.
Nah I reckon a transformer should function without any individual partsforming, unless the partsforming is weapon storage or part of the character's identity
I was gonna make an among us joke, but after fully watching the video, I can't make any jokes. This seemed like pure hell to build, and thanks for sticking to it so you could make this video for us.
also if the pieces for God Of Disaster are cross compatible with LEGO Optimus Prime maybe you should use those pieces to do some changes to Prime ( I seen some instructions for an alternative head and knee joints, though mostly I am interested in a more round head for Prime myself )
Wow, your copy of Legacy Armada Prime sure is looking weird from what I remember… wait, never mind. The title changed. Also, nice how you’re using some Sonic Superstars music in this.
As a brick build I agree with you, even if it is LEGO/ brick based it should not parts form unless it's part of the identity. As an example of good parts forming, weapon parts forming. Despite my distaste for it it still works as it is intended to, compared to completely removing half the alt mode to get to robot then doing nothing with the left over parts.
This makes me want to use Barweer. Because they let you turn this sponsored sample into a full review. Rightfully tearing it a new one. They get two thumbs up from me for allowing it.
Try staying up for 12 hours straight and building the cobi Bismarck (yes that happened to me and I was tired by the end of it and looked like a zombie) the ship is bigger than this with fewer pieces but it also had way smaller pieces than this and it was miserable
the set does get the bag numbering right for the _big_ ones, but it would've helped the building process even a little more if they numbered the smaller bags inside akin to Super Mario Bros levels. (1-1, 1-2,1-3, just to name a few examples)
I really appreciate this in-depth look at the set. I'd been eyeing it for a little while and the partsforming (especially stuff being left to the side in either mode) coupled with the non-existent articulation has convinced me to skip it. Thanks for saving me $$!
I obviously haven’t seen the whole video yet but I’m sure it will be great as always, I also got very confused by the title for a second lol. Thanks for the awesome reviews as usual!
I bought a house set based on the house from twilight off of TikTok and I had a similar experience that you had to this set because the instructions were so bad.
"A problematic figure will be seen in a more favorable light when given a black repaint" You aint wrong. Compare Earthrise Ironhide to his black repaint and i dont hear anyone complain about DK2 Guard
You should probably warn people about the ending , lots a flashing lights, I’m not epileptic my self but I think this might trigger people, overall it’s a good video
Speaking of the wfc trilogy partsformers, what are your thoughts about the kingdom and legacy fossilizers? And kingdom slammer and the legacy junkions while I’m at it?
Another thing about the parts forming is that most of the parts seem superfluous. What’s the point of stuff like the gas tanks… or the trailer hitch… or even the grill pieces when the arms could have filled the gaps like the G1 Optimus Prime toys… or the skirts in the robot mode… these are wasted parts count and money on the consumer’s part… why can’t the budget go into better design.
Lego prime took me months (it made me mad) i accidentally placed the eye piece on its stomach and sigh i eventually sat down till 3am building the rest
Me during the build section: the build is long and intensive? Sounds like a positive to me! Me during the transformation: that’s a lot of partsforming. . . Disappointing, but okay. Me during the articulation: . . .Whatthefuck? How did this get every piece of articulation lego prime lacked and none of the articulation lego prime DID HAVE?
I would do that as well I would just copy the color scheme of the character I wanted to build and then just crumple him into a “vehicle” and pretend its a Transformers
Among Us.... Joking aside this build looks horrible not the finished product but the process of building it with your descriptions I got myself LEGO Optimus Prime on December, and built it on a day when I returned home in January
As someone who builds alot of lego transformers (you can check them out on my channel) i really hate how much this partsformers because i have made much smaller models and they dont have partsforming so i dont like this very much
So, it took you 9 hours to build this mess? You should have seen me when I build that Lego Sonic Green Hill Set two years ago, it took me over 25 HOURS to build this set. No, I'm not kidding, and that's also combine with me taking brakes.
Yes, I got the title wrong for a bit. Sorry. I was asleep.
How about, as they say in your language, you take a holiday until you're ready to get back to work?
This build almost broke you. Truly he is your Nemesis. 😢
Nice joke in the thumbnail of "Masterpiece Build To Rule"
@@xavierwalko4175Seriously hope Chris Mcfeeley does a Basics episode on Built to Rule in the future.
@24:47 Shocking nope, that's pretty close to the quote used for the TFCC Subscription version of Scourge from 2013, though it uses "Vengeance" instead of revenge
Thats...so dumb...
"Hey Optimus can I get some wisdom of the primes?"
"Only a matrix full!"
Disaster Prime:
Wow, Commander Prime is looking way different from the stock photos
That's cause it's the repaint
I love how lockdown atleast points out when hes fucked up something or made a mistake, makes me know that lockdown actually knows when something is his fault, and something isnt
lmao
24:12 i did not expect to see exo-force mentioned in 2023 i loved exo-force as a kid
Funny considering that was a mech focused theme.
Please note the anniversary special, "Every WFC Figure", has been pushed back to the 3rd of December. It is proving to be a logistical nightmare. Apologies.
This must be a sneak peak at the Gen Selects Nemesis Armada Prime
Now this is a review that truly helps us determine if we jump in. Thanks, Dr.! You’re pain is felt and appreciated!
A figure to make CW Phase 2 Commander Cody’s use of ankle tilt seem intelligent.
Well that came out sooner then I thought!

you know it's serious when the SMT4 music comes on during the scoring
The arms in the 24 minute mark aren't just Exoforce arms but they're also Krog's arms and Kamzo's left arm.
They've been in a lot of sets, but I recall them getting their start in exo force.
pouring one out for Nine Hours Of Pain
I really appreciate this in-depth look at the set. I'd been eyeing it for a little while and the partsforming (especially stuff being left to the side in either mode) coupled with the non-existent articulation has convinced me to skip it. Thanks for saving me $$!

Brother, change the title
here before title change
Me too lol
Oh my god I’m almost through the video and I didn’t even notice until now
Ye
Same
Enough about the title. Anyone reverses the ending? What’s it say?
I bought a house set based on the house from twilight off of TikTok and I had a similar experience that you had to this set because the instructions were so bad.
I once saw a guy make the Lego Optimus prime parts form even more and thought it was a good idea
You know, among us fans, there are quite a lot of people who like the set.
"A problematic figure will be seen in a more favorable light when given a black repaint"
You aint wrong. Compare Earthrise Ironhide to his black repaint and i dont hear anyone complain about DK2 Guard
Basically yeah.
I see you have the kbb combat commander. Do you love it as much as i do?
It's not actually KBB. It's the original generation toy version.

You should probably warn people about the ending , lots a flashing lights, I’m not epileptic my self but I think this might trigger people, overall it’s a good video
Wanted to let you know your my favorite channel to watch when im doing the dishes
I think the title is wrong but still a great video as usual
Aw the front is parts forming? I really wanted to see how the front converted but, man.
The whole thing is partsforming
Ah yes legacy evolution Optimus Prime
I don't remember legacy armada optimus prime having a 2nd deco
I literally *just watched* the Armada Prime review before this was uploaded with the erroneous title. That's hilarious.
Speaking of the wfc trilogy partsformers, what are your thoughts about the kingdom and legacy fossilizers? And kingdom slammer and the legacy junkions while I’m at it?
The junkions are fantastic.
As for the rest, wait until November
while the junkions have the worst weaponizing you don't have to partsform them and their good figures on their own so it kinda makes up for it
10:00
What if I, built Lego prime and have already made many well functioning Lego transformers of my own? Does that mean I buy this now?
I mean...if you just use it for spare parts, maybe...
8:30 square cube law
Why does your Armada Prime look different?
Another thing about the parts forming is that most of the parts seem superfluous. What’s the point of stuff like the gas tanks… or the trailer hitch… or even the grill pieces when the arms could have filled the gaps like the G1 Optimus Prime toys… or the skirts in the robot mode… these are wasted parts count and money on the consumer’s part… why can’t the budget go into better design.
Lego prime took me months (it made me mad) i accidentally placed the eye piece on its stomach and sigh i eventually sat down till 3am building the rest
Great video, interesting analysis.
If I may ask, do you plan on covering Helicopter Waspinator?
Not at the moment. I could, but I lack the time to do so
@@DrLockdown understood, best wishes
Imagine if his views were influenced by the sponsor.
"They gave me this thing for free and for that reason, I hate it."
Very unfortunate considering how it’s possible to rebuild LEGO Optimus into BBM version but with the transformation gimmick removed
Transforming something is kinda the point though
Me during the build section: the build is long and intensive? Sounds like a positive to me!
Me during the transformation: that’s a lot of partsforming. . . Disappointing, but okay.
Me during the articulation: . . .Whatthefuck? How did this get every piece of articulation lego prime lacked and none of the articulation lego prime DID HAVE?
Must’ve gotten the short end of the stick with armada prime, not sure he’s supposed to have that colour scheme lol.
oh no now i'm gonna need even more space on my Lego shelves. This sponsor is looking too tempting
dude I don't have it but just watching the review don't get it
oh i wasnt talking about the specific figure but the not-lego (bootlego) offers that barweer has
This just reminds me that I still need to get a Lego Prime.
He good.
Your figures are pristine 👌. No scratches, bumps, or anything. Did you buy multiple copies? Are you just *really* careful?
Not particularly
@@DrLockdown Please tell me, then. Your Transformers are immaculate.
Not all of them lmao
This thing is basically a high end Built to Rule
That's what I've been saying :P
@@DrLockdown commented before I got that far in the video, my fault
I used to make hero factory into transformers looking things that could transform into like a thing remenicent of whatever he was lol
I would do that as well
I would just copy the color scheme of the character I wanted to build and then just crumple him into a “vehicle” and pretend its a Transformers
Real ones remember the original title
Yep Legacy Armada Prime.
i think its safe say the instructions got a bit sus at one point...
What do you think of Commander Magnus?
Pretty good. Not armada prime good, but pretty good.
As a Lego fan, I can confirm that partsforming isn’t okay on Lego transformers
Lego seems to think it is with Bumblebee
Pretty sure PerspectiveEnd is the Cliffjumper guy
Tell that to the comment sections on all my videos
Tells, he did it.
Well i think it needs a bit of modding. Other than that its better that the lego one in the looks department.
Looks aren't everything, and the modding would have to be pretty extensive.
At that rate, why not build your own?
Would you say Gt-03 is worth the asking price?
GT Megatron? I got no idea. Never messed with one.
The title broken?
Uhh title is correct
Dunno, I still seeing "legacy armada prime 147" here
What is that outro music? It's nice!
Sonic mania. Press gardens act 2.
Can someone help me find this video? 16:46
Nice we need bumblebee movie optimus prime because that is nemesis prime
Hehe, title go brrr
Sidenote, keep up the good work!
what Prime figure is that at 10:29
Metagate
Man, the title of the video
You sure this isn’t built to rule armada prime
Weird Armada Optimus redeco.
Here's to everyone who saw the old title 🍷
Among Us....
Joking aside
this build looks horrible
not the finished product
but the process of building it with your descriptions
I got myself LEGO Optimus Prime on December, and built it on a day when I returned home in January
Oh no.....a lego knock off parts form
The title ☠️
As someone who builds alot of lego transformers (you can check them out on my channel) i really hate how much this partsformers because i have made much smaller models and they dont have partsforming so i dont like this very much
That's my thing. The average Joe can make one of these without partsforming.
This is unacceptable
So, it took you 9 hours to build this mess?
You should have seen me when I build that Lego Sonic Green Hill Set two years ago, it took me over 25 HOURS to build this set. No, I'm not kidding, and that's also combine with me taking brakes.
Armada Prime???
The title is so wrong
Armada prime?
This is not armada Optimus
7:30
among us sus
Banned
👏👌
Wrong title
That’s not armada prime😅
(Unoriginal joke about the wrong title)
sus
7:32 Among Us Sus
Why would you do this to yourself? 😅
It was a free product. I thought it would be a nice fun relaxing time
Legacy armada optimus prime is black?😂😂
wEn Da Empoter is SuS!? 😲
Uh Doctor, you might want to change the title of your video, because it does not match what you're reviewing.
