I always saw Striker Manus as Classics Optimus Prime's upgrade when he finally returns to Cybertron There's so many similarities I just see it as Classics Prime's evolution or just his body when he comes home.

The Truck just screams High Moon videogame design. I approve enthusiastically

I find it cool that the new Optimus design from the Bumblebee movie looks alot like this figure

The longer I look at it, the more I see things that remind me of the GP01, especially the lower arms and those head vulcan-looking protrusions.

you can actually clip in the back grill to make it pretty flush. you can move it down and push it in and the grooves match up so that it's pretty much flush.

This is how Siege should have done it.

Even though I had no problem with videogame designs, this is the type of look the creators should have gone for.

Wow. I think this is the longest time a collecter's card has ever held emgo's interest.

I've always loved viewing reviews on third party figures. Mostly for the design/transformation and scale. But never have I wanted a third party figure as much as I want Striker Manus. Which just makes me want the rest of this particular line. One day I will get one

That augmented reality thing looks awesome!

There's an old app for YuGiOh on android that does the same thing with the physical cards, not sure if the developer ever picked back up on it again. Didn't need a Q-Code, it went off of the cards image itself iirc, like for say Celtic Guardian or Blue Eyes.

the truck mode looks so good! wow i love thier dystopian fantasy style its actually so sick

A Nemesis Prime version of this guy would be crazy awesome!

When Megs was taking note of security, I was expecting some one to say,"YOOOOOUNG WARRIOR!"

I'd say that's one of the most awesome truck modes of Optimus Primes.

Maybe that's his cybertronian truck mode or maybe a futuristic truck. Who knows

Oh, boy does this look 'old'. Been playing along for a year or so. You've come a long way baby! I just received Manus , here, with no instructions, or card, or box. I knew you could help me out. I took a shot, and you had a review up! Thank you!

Great review bro and this figure is amazing!!! BBTS just put up the black Nemesis Prime repaint of this mold for preorder and looks amazing. I'm definitely going to pick it up. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work.

great review that answered a lot of questions that others didn't

Great review, really cool figure. The augmented reality is a very neat detail. I may be wrong, but I believe that if you spin the card it will spin the 3D model so you don't have move the iPad around.

Anyone else feeling any Transformers Armada vibes from this guy?

Its a nice figure and cannot wait for more in the line. The back section does in fact fold up better. There is another pinned joint on the back grill (see 13:46). if you leave the joint you where moving at 90degrees you can use to make it fold flush under the two red tabs.

So happy with the love this figure's been receiving. I know I love mine! Seems Maketoys have hit it out of the park with this one. Also, I'd like to mention, the truck grill does fold up to be more flush with his back. If you look closely, it's on a double hinge ;)

that seeker dinobot thing freaks me the hell out will give me nightmares very nice prime

Nice review! This figure is a MUST BUY!!!!

I'm pretty sure that "Space Truck" was what they are going with here. Bot and vehicle modes both look neat though. Kind of reminds me of how the bots look in the trailer for Bumblebee movie during the Cybertron portions of the trailer.

one of my favorite third party optimus figures out there.

Im not a 3rd party TF collector at all, but I got this one just to have something to mess with while watching tv LOL! Great figure, and I'd totally recommend it even as a stand-alone figure! I think I might even get their Rioter Despotron figure too. I've had a bad habbit of grabbing my MP figures just to transform them lately, and I don't want to mess them up, so I've been getting "toys" to mess with instead of messing with my MP's. And yes, I agree with you on that this would be a great look for a movie Prime!

Hey Emgo...that back panel (grill) is double hinged and if you bend on the upper hinge it will sit closer to the back. Also, I am able to get the rifle to store by folding down the back panel and collapsing the rifle and sticking the handle into his back with the red wind vane portion pointing upward behind his head. I had the exact same experience as you. Was going to pass, then saw some reviews, got him, and now I can't put him down and love him! Having him in hand is believing! Great review as always!!! Hope this helps you

the ending skit was great LOL

Ahhhhhhhhh yes the couch! It's been a while from seeing it

One word came to mind when I saw this version of Prime : Gundam.

Very interesting looking version of Optimus Prime. The robot mode looks awesome, and to me, the alternative mode looks like Optimus upgraded his alt mode on Cybertron after he returned back to his home planet, so that his Cybertronian vehicle mode resembled his Earth mode. It is a really cool looking Cybertronian Battletruck vehicle mode.

I love the looks of this guy, I want to get it to serve as Optimus' Cybertronian form in a stop motion series I've been writing.

My most favorite Prime to date! I just received the metal looking one and it’s awesome!!

Lol in the skit megs asks if people are just leaving the front door open but the background he used was there underwater base

If you noticed the two holes tabs in the shoulder front and back, tabs in the legs folds and four tabs round the grill/back there meant to be for additional weapons but was rejected and changed for two axes/smokestacks and a poor windvane weapon due to cost

The truck mode is like a weird cybertronian vehicle no bad. but the robot mode, oh my gosh!!! it just looks so badass. I think for the badass look its worth the money. XD.....BTW nice review.

23:34 looking at Striker Manus, I think the Keith's Fantasy Club FOC Optimus Prime Shoulder and Missile Kit could fit into those shoulder slots. If they can, that would give Strike Manus four more Guns and 20 Micro/Cluster Missiles. I have used 6 of the ones painted in Ultra Magnus colors and added them to my Transformazing Toys Mebsuta armor upgrade for Ultra Magnus. That added 6 Guns, and 30 micro missiles to its already impressive firepower.

at 16:05 "Oh look a penny!"

Vader reference ftw. Also i half expected alpha trion to show up when megatron asked if someone left the door open

Striker Manus looks like he should have a ring intro playing when he shows up.

Great Vader intro!

nice but there are some points we forget to change thinking its already done! did't like gas tank in vertical, neither waist less robots or too many details on shoulders to place an autobot emblem, but still very nice and can combine with other boys!

To me the truck mode looks like a 90s era cyberpunk future truck. An the AR card gimmick is a great way to advertise the next release.

I just got striker manus and I love him. I have the nemesis prime version too. I need that megatron.

Nice Vader reference at the beginning

This has a classic anime G1 vibe. Definitely a buy just for the design and the playability.

space truck is good, but how about super futuristic truck? or super futuristic space truck?! lol! love your stuff emgo!

Striker Manus can do the '' Paint me like one of your French girls'' pose. It's so funny to look, but show far you can go with this toy.

the more I look at his truck mode the more I like it...

I think Hasbro needs to pay more attention to what these other companies are doing. I mean the articulation on this is incredible. I'm with you, this is an awesome figure. And the skit wasn't too bad, either.

This is what the bayformers should have looked like! lol

At least Travis Knight made all of the Transformers characters look like G1 when he directed the Bumblebee movie!

I was expecting Optimus to eat a Japanese pizza bagel and he becames all anime style and speaking japanese, and everyone gets confused even Trion, but then the effect ran out and he says something like "woah spicy". :P

Looks badass :O

All of your transformers are very cool,maybe you could do a tour of them all

Oh, Hasbro and Takara really did use that method on their Earthrise Optimus Prime 19:01

That was awesome.

I love your (non-star wars) Vader reference. LOL Anyway, sweet fig.

Idk how long i've been watching but i think since 2012

It really looks good.

Best Optimus Prime figure every! I’ll have it for my birthday witch already passed but it’s still my birthday gift 🎁.

While I admit he has head vulcans it seems, I would still say his proportions are still off to look like a gundam. The chest proper is too wide and the legs don't thin out below the knee. Yes I know some gundams legs don't thin out as they go towards the foot, but usually that is to serve a purpose like thrusters in the legs. As for the head, well it's hard not to compare optimus to the rx-78-2 since gundam and transformers are very close in age.

I think that this prime a pretty well done figure. I love the "space truck" mode, overall it's awesome. And I love the augmented reality card. Why can't hasbro do something like that for their mainline figures? This is just my opinion.

I might get cause it looks worth $80 on bigbadtoystore and your awesome emgo

They should make an Animated series based on this figure!

He looks like he would go well with legacy Prime figures.

Has Prime and Megs ever argued over the superiority of burritos or pizza bagels? If not would be a fun skit.

Pretty sure they have, though I couldn't point you to the specific review. Wouldn't surprise me if that's the entire reason for the war in in emgo's wacky skit world.

13:55-14:02 At least it's much better and cleaner arm kibble than the one on the Classics Voyager Optimus!

Well since the box says cross dimensions it might be his form from an alternate Cybertron also EM there is a transformer called striker noir who is nemesis prime

Hello im here to tell you that your the best i love your videos and skit

Recent Lego catalogues have a similar augmented reality feature. It looks pretty cool, but usually I just end up noticing how bunch of the animations they put in are impossible with the actual sets.

hey emgo i pre ordered striker manus. By chance do you know how long it can take beforeit might ship? Btw i enjoy all of your skits and reviews.

I have realised this the maketoys striker manus semi truck mode looks like siege war for cybertron Optimus prime

It's a future truck to me ;)

Omg I was like the axes are gona combine and when you ded it I was like SEE I TOLD YOU SO XD

i know this video review on this prime is two years old but guess what it's a combiner now because a new figure is coming called buster stealthwing.

That's cool man

conspiracy theory: maketoys is toybiz undercover

I've always wondered, why do Transformers from Cybertron look like they transport ~150 CM humanoids when there are no humanoids to transport there? I've always had a hard time with that.

Hello Mr. Emgo!

Dude you have gotten so much more views

Poor Dinobots in the comic/product previews

I really did wish I could have gotten that if it wasn't so expensive

wow optimus likes pizza bagels and megatron like burritos

It's a Cybertronian Earth Truck

the intro was wwe vader theme

Em, are you going to get the SND Primo Vitalis kit for EmGo Builds Stuff? I got it and it really improves the CW Optimus.

After you see Prime kick decepticon ass in TFAM I don't think beefing up security is going to work that well

Space truck? More like cybertronian truck!

If this was the design for the Idw prime, it would make alot of sense

It's Time...it's Time...It's Vader Time!

I like the figureform and the truckform very much. The truck looks beefy and powerful. And secondly I think you could just rotate the card with your hands, when you do the AR stuff. Please try that.
