Transformers Animated came around when I was pretty depressed and gave me something to help keep my head above water. Very fond memories of that show.

That prime looks like he’s been doing 30 pushups every second of everyday for 10 years

I absolutely agree about the shelf presence of this guys. He just looks heroic. I hope we eventually get some Animated Decepticons to go along with him and the rest of his crew.

@@Andyjoe522 I'd be okay with that, but regular Animated Optimus just looks weird to me with the mask so I'm glad the general release doesn't have it. I wish he had the pouty lips, though.

They've done a very good job mixing the Animated and CHUG aesthetics. The look of this figure is unmistakably that of Animated Prime, even if he's on the blockier side. There's no mistaking this for any other take on the character. Legacy's come a long way with stuff like that since Prime Arcee and Bulkhead. Unlike with Bulkhead, I'm not going "This is a good Optimus, but it shouldn't have been sold as Animated Optimus." This is a genuinely nice take on Animated Prime. Funny enough Legacy Bulkhead genuinely works better as Animated Bulkhead than he does as Prime Bulkhead. A customizer on r/Transformers did an amazing job of converting it into an (admittedly rather ripped-looking) take on Animated Bulkhead.

I'm waiting for the retool for bulkhead. I saw the custom, its so good and it looks like he prototyped his custom with paper and tape so a retool for a proper animated bulkhead is too easy for hasbro not to do. Especially since they've remade that figure like 3 times already, im waiting for the inevitable 4th that has a better chest and shoulders and head paint. But it really just comes down to paint. I mean if they want to make the shield look like it isn't just made of fabric too, that would be awesome too. Hell, I might even just grab the prime version of bulkhead if there's an upgrade kit that releases with a new riot shield and alternate chest. Idk there's just too much different with bulkhead as is for me to jump at it yet, but I definitely agree that it works as a legacy animated bulkhead better than a prime version any day

My favorite incarnation of Optimus Prime, especially the phenomenal voice performance of David Kaye. I like him better than the G1 version. Did you know that the handle of the axe is also bloosh compatible? I also noticed how your original Animated Optimus Prime had the rare grey Autobot insignia.

This probably has one of the cleanest robot mode of any of the most recent figures. The engineer did a great job tucking everything in. Only thing I'm iffy on is the axe handle. When it's retracted on mine it never stays still and I have to extend it if I want him to hold it in a certain position.

Yeah, I'm sold. I never had the original and this guy is an almost perfect update to him, think it's time to rewatch Animated.

I can definitely understand why some folks are disappointed at these toys for not going more fully with the Animated (or Prime) designs. Personally I like them a lot, and I justify it as these designs not "replacing" the original, but being new forms that Optimus or Bumblebee or Arcee take when going on a universe-hopping adventure to say, the G1 continuity.

my only nitpick of it is the hidden third wheels by the bumper up front I know he only had two sets in the show but the way they did the second set that far back throws the proportions off for me... i would have liked the front ones to be uncovered but i understand why they did it to keep it somewhat show accurate.

I like the interior that they gave this TFA prime

I feel like they set the front wheels too far back myself (the ones you can see anyways) personally I would have liked the third front wheel to be uncovered by the bumper and have it looked like a real 18 wheeled fire truck, but i can kinda let it slide because hey, future fire truck and all that... it just makes the proportions a bit off. but it does match the original's bumper a bit more.

I have a feeling , Animated Optimus Prime is going to be in a lot of people's top ten for 2024 but we still have a whole year to go

Can you please review those Legacy United core classes?

Faithful to the show or not, this is still an impressive prime even if animated isn’t exactly my cup of tea

Not a bad figure at all. I just don't need anymore OP's. Now if they give this mold to Thunderclash or Sentinel Prime and we've got a deal!

This is Optimus after he became Optimus Magnus in Season 4.

Maybe the slots on the underside of his feet hint at a jetwing upgrade in the future

Man, this is a deluxe. I swear all the class sizes nowadays have shrunk down a class. What's a voyager now would've been considered a deluxe back in the good days. 6:25 case in point. THAT'S a voyager.
