Stuff like this always brings me to the same question: Do I really need another Optimus Prime in my collection? The answer is usually yes.

I ask myself the same question every time a prime like this comes out and answer it the same way as you

Damn what a beautiful figure and concept! Mixing the GI Joe Rolling Thunder to Optimus Prime really was some genius creativity here and pulling off such a quality figure all I can say is congrats to TFC for hitting this one out of the park!!! Only thing I don't like about this figure is the flat plastic here that doesn't have the same quality look like a Fanstoys figure does. I also would have liked maybe another head since I'm not too wild about his lower mouthpiece.

Love to see what this guy would look like with some of STC-02 Tyrant’s parts on him. There are videos showing that the Nuclear Commander can be outfitted with some of Tyrant’s parts, namely the giant laser canon.

Looks amazing! Rolling Thunder will always have a special place in my heart, my Dad got me one in Christmas 1988. You sold me on this guy, really happy to see TFC coming back!

looking forward to the camo version! These OP colours look very Cobra like which is ironic. The 'cartoony' missiles are actually meant to be intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM's) i.e. nukes! The whole truck is based on the prototype mobile 'Midgetman' launcher which has now been scrapped due to the 1211 agreement with Russia banning mobile missile launchers, they were often considered too slow of a response to a nuclear attack anyway but had the advantage of being hidden and relocated to avoid being targeted in a First Strike event. The Soviets of course had their own, watch the classic comedy 'Spies Like Us' for a bit of fun and a very 101 idea of what those were or still are in North Korea I believe.

Great video Ben! He looks amazing. Would have liked to have seen a few more comparisons at the end after he was fully kitted out, especially next to Power Baser.

Dude you rock. Been waiting for this!

They should make a figure of the U.S Flagg carrier that turns into Tidal Wave

I agree they also need to make more of these

Looks darn good ben you are amazing

Badass! Kinda reminds me of Powermaster Optimus Prime. That box is definitely a keeper. Would totally put that on display too.

I actually just bought the original rolling thunder last week, now i absolutely have to get this

It's so cute that the box looks like Rolling Thunder's box.

I have the camouflaged one on order but might have to get both thanks for the review..

love this! great video!

AWESOME figure Ben!

Looks awesome!!! I still have my xovergen version! I don't love it but I don't hate it either.

Hey Ben, that was ace, good work. I am excited about the Camo version as I do not need another prime in my collection and I think the green looks fab. I agree a lot of folks will want this.

The camo version is sure to give your forces a titical advantage :D

Truly a Monster Prime..Superb

Great review , great figure , thanks 😀

Wow what an amazing figure and tons of diecast. However, I am a bit concerned about the plastic quality, as the plastic looks a bit thin.

Love it. Thanks to your review ...i feel bad not pre-ordering it. I wish there will be a green variant that coincides with the GIJOE ROCC. It would be nice to have a green prime :)

He is the titical commander, because look at those big guns!

Finally out. Thanks Ben.

If anyone's interested there are some great digibashes of this figure in all sorts of other colours on the tfw2005 boards, and honestly they all look more interesting than standard Prime colours; not that this doesn't look great!

TITICAL COMMANDER SUPREME MODE...It's a mode that automaticly tracks down and destroys every single illegal titi

Fantastic !

That's pretty gorgeous.

I've been waiting for this figure, patiat Commander was my first third party, and I think we all know how sturdy he was...sigh... But this guy looks great, and with the Dia figures, OH YEAH! (Said the Kool aid man).

Amazing!

This is so much better then the Grand Patriot version I was so disspointed when I saw it as it did not really look like a Rolling Thunder were as this is a modded version of it and looks great< Love the idea he can also upgrade to tatcial mode sort of like combing with his trailer as the power master did.

Reading the box was fun. "Stoomander a real battlefield hero"--obviously,ripping the G.I. Joe title.

Pretty amazing

This is the kind of Optimus Prime I want hasbro to make for modern day

I was scrolling down my weibo saw a Chinese reviewer showing it yesterday and thinking if you'll do it too.

Damn roller got a the big one 😂😂

i love the tictical mode

TFC’s stuff is very “payable” which I applaud, as someone who likes flipping between modes.

As a titical commander Optimus has to keep abreast of what’s happening at the front.

Obviously I’m getting this as my diaclone reboot battle convoy

Titical Commander!!!!!

*@benscollectables* *Does his head have a screw in the back & is it on a standard balljoint?* To give him more of a standard Optimus Prime headsculpt atsome point? Great video GREAT figure Looks like the kinda QC/tightjoints Toyworld Primorion has! 😀

The Sheer number of third-party figures available is staggering to me

A doubledealer variation I would purchase

Can the small leg cannons interchange with the small missiles on the arms?

Gonna suck but I'm going to wait for the green version

Man, this TFC figure is really REALLY niche. I love this figure but, I wonder if TFC will do any other of the DW G.I. Joe/transformer designs. I can’t remember any other unique designs from the comic.

I don’t think anyone care how big the characters are with the figures. The actual figure is definitely masterpiece scale. Maybe even a little upscaled. But that’s ok. The bigger the better.

I think this is one piece I would prefer the camo repaint on.

Lewin resources need to oversize this guy to fit real Joes :-D

It looks good but if i could change one thing i would flip the top side of his chest

Need to do Dominator Megatron

I noticed there they 18 minutes you cut in the pull-down of the chest piece the kind of show the face better

This version of Optimus Prime is a gunship. lol

I like Transformer Optimus Prime a thumbs up

What are the little mech figures at 12:38 ?

Are there any loose joints or other issue we should be aware of?

I get the reference

Why does he remind me of Striker Magnus?

G.I.PRIME

Wait you live in the Uk? I thought you lived in Canada.

May I ask how much something like this would cost?

Bot mode looks incredible but the vehicle mode is not that great looking. But I guess Bot mode IS the most important.

So is this a stand alone deal or are they planning a line of x-over figures. I love G.I.Joe and Transformers I have the x-over comics from Marvel and IDW, and even I'm not very interested in this. Seems wierd for TFC to try and infiltrate the MP market(again) with something like this. MP collectors from what I've seen want slavishly G1. This would've sold better to the 3p Cross Dimension/ Reformatted crowd. It looks cool and we'll built but an easy pass for me at this scale.

The upper chest is so bulky those oh that it makes his head almost half visable. It just looks off the best thing about Optimus upper torso is the blue head to break up all the red. And the chest on the upper pecks feels so insanely to large. Unless he's leaning down or we are looking at it from a coward perspective you cant even see his eyes his chest is so big. Not a fan of that.

Like bro

You could have spent a bit less raving about diecast and showed how Diaclone figures actually fit.

This man is a scammer. I work for a family owned online toy store. We made a deal with him and we sent him some products, then after receiving the products he just vanished. Very bad practice of this man. He is not even close to the good person he seems to be in his videos.

why don't you practice on how to put it on the right way first before you make the video. it's frustrating to watch
