I wasn't that keen on this version of Animated Optimus (the clearly visible feet in the vehicle mode & lack of visible waist in robot) when it was announced but since the announcement of the DNA upgrade kit for it recently, it was kind of growing on me & while it still doesn't look perfect, I do kind of like how it looks. great video as always.

Thanks for watching!

At my local Walmart this guy is actually shelf swarming, which is HIGHLY unusual for an Optimus Prime toy. Also, I'm very excited for the DNA kit, this might just be the one TF figure that feels incomplete without it.

Amen about the Brick & Mortar retailers. Once again...Sharpies to the rescue. He is a great looking bot, alas, not for me, I just could never get into the Animated series. Another great review brother.

Animated was very polarizing for sure. Thanks for watching brother!

Thanks for your review. As a fellow fan of TF Animated, I was looking forward to this figure... until I saw the pics. Your review makes the updated look make sense, but I don't have a Legacy shelf, so I'm passing on this one.

I’ve been waiting for you to review Legacy Animated Optimus! It’s an awesome figure, my only complaints are the lack of a faceplate, and (maybe this isn’t a complaint, but this would’ve been nice) the fact that we don’t have a trailer to make the full fire truck from the show. Maybe DNA Design can make an upgrade kit with a faceplate for the face and trailer, idk. Other than that, the figure’s great! Very accurate to the show and well modified to fit in with the Legacy lineup.

Agreed. Would LOVE to see Nonnef tackle a trailer for this one. Thanks for watching!

Also, amazing job fixing the wheels on the truck! The silver does look better, you’re really great with your custom work ability!

Animated Optimus Prime is my favorite incarnation of the character. Peter Cullen may be the goat, but David Kaye is my favorite Optimus Prime.

David Kaye! Both him and Gary Chalk are underrated for me!

My favorite thing about animated Optimus is, he’s voiced by David Kay. For those I don’t know David Kay is beast wars, Megatron, as well as Megatron and the Unicon trilogy.

Just got mine delivered, a little disappointed that the colors are “muted”. It’s more maroon than it is firetruck red and it’s more pale blue than it is royal blue. I also think it looks more like a real toy than a model as it looks like it would fit into Toy Story universe
