Personally, I think both of them are pretty great! Soundwave is definitely the weaker one, but I still think hes a pretty good figure in his own right, even if his proportions are kinda wacky.

What are proportions? They’re robots of many shapes. Starscream can look like a dorito and the fans be like “cool”.

Possible tip for Soundwave: there are tabs inside of the torso that the front wheels go into for robot mode. They are very easy to miss, but that might be part of why yours doesn't like to stay solid. They are around the collar area. As for my opinion of these two, I really like them. I have them, and Prime might be my figure of the year, even with his unfortunately poorly executed accessories. I am also a Reactivate Soundwave defender, but I agree that with a voyager budget he could be a lot better. Like I would have loved if the feet folded into the leg for the vehicle, that way he could also get that extra ankle articulation in robot.

Soundwave is usually a voyager budget but is the reactivated version a deluxe budget?

@@pat1r1ck Yes, which makes him bigger. That's how size works. Ok, sarcasm aside, he stands taller than even 86 Hotrod. Even with better proportions, he'd be a large deluxe, which is a great thing.

Ah, the opposite problem that some Masterpiece transformers have

7:24 "How do you feel, mighty Megatron? NNYEH!!!" -That Toy Guy, probably.

Honestly, soundwave has a very interesting design choice with the chest becoming the hood of the suv. That means that, if included in the game, the casetticons would be coming from the engine or become the engine of the vehicle mode. That intrigues me.

I honestly love this Optimus as his design feels like a big reference to his classics figure. Like the truck mode looks really similar.

Reactivate Optimus Prime is one of the best we've ever had, I'm really hoping the SS86 version is built on the same scale

Holy shit! A Soundwave that doesn’t turn into a fucking brick/rectangle!? 10/10 best toy

This Prime dropped and everyone instantly forgot SS102 exists lmaooo

Ss102 is the worst Optimus for me, all the articulation is dogshit and the vehicle mode is just as bad. All the transformation with the legs are pointless and just look horrible in truck mode. They should've just resused the same transformation scheme as the earthrise figure

I love the rounded off shoulder of prime, and the proportions of Soundwave kinda look armored core or code geass-y which I find cool

I have been singing this two-pack's praises, because God DAMN Does that Optimus look FINE and that Soundwave look good. P.S. I actually kinda dig the bloated look on Soundwave. It just sits right with me So, status update. I now have the two pack and i gotta say, they are both fantastic! Optimus is just straight up a micro-masterpiece, and Soundwave is an excellent deluxe.

When you brought up the fact that you didn’t know why nobody tried the new leg transformation method for prime I immediately knew the answer: tradition. Optimus has always transformed that way with the exception of a few, these designers knew that there was only so much that could be done and decided to break tradition for the sake of a better looking altmode.

Your reviews are so damn good, my dude. Like, there's Thew who just gets color design and the aesthetic space of robot dolls over the last 40-odd years. And there's you, who seems to have a connoisseur's appreciation for the engineering that goes into making the puzzle aspect of puzzle-dolls a worthwhile reason for grown-ups to want them. Thank you for sharing your love and your understanding with us.

Optimus looks like the IDW version

They better use what they learned from this toy to hide the front wheels on that commander class prime. If not, I'd be really disappointed.

Nice review. It will be interesting posing this Reactivate Prime with the new Bumblebee Megatron.

Oh my, reactive Optimus primes truck mode is massive compared to ss102’s truck mode!

Prime looks pretty good but Soundwave I would never get unless it was packed with another figure that I really want in some sort of 2-pack. Oh wait...

You putting up that classics Optimus really does show that this feels like a proper upgrade of classics prime.

“Please don’t eat your toys” Nuh uh

I’ve found that with his leg transformation joints, this Prime can do the Skybound cover pose amazingly

Optimus transformation looks very different than i expected and i definitely love it

I like your review on transformers toys. You did a good job. You allow me to think twice before purchasing the toys. Thanks anyway.

I love it! I WANT ONE NOW!

Both packs look amazing

Definitely good looks and designs there.

With sound wave I also had an issue with tabbing his back in, the trick I did that got it to work is rather than inverting the wheels in robot mode I condensed them and everything just held together a lot better

Don't eat your toys? I'll have you know that I still have several Micro Machines racing their way through my digestive tract from when I swallowed them in '96. The anticipation is making my guts hurt!

Soundwave with the backpack attached looks like the generations line version of onslaught from FOC.

A one step changer with a few more steps

"Soundwave's chest doesn't open." Noooooooooo. Goddamn it. WHY!?!?

We love to see it.

Just one thing, sorry to be that guy, but the wheels that store inside the shell on Soundwave are very misstransformed out of the pakaging and that may be the issue youre having. You arent meant to turn the whole wheel fully inside the torsoe, the wheels are meant to stay with the wheel facing out like they are in car mode inside the torse. There are a set of tabs that go into the underside of the panel Soundwaves head is attached to, and that should lock the torso in place and make it look a lot more flush. Its hard to explain properly, but just move the front wheels around inner hinge they have

If they ever decide to make idw optimus. They have to retool this figure. This figure has the perfect Silhouette for it.

Man i just can't wait for the game, and these figures aren't helping my patience. The designs look so goood! Oh and these toys look super sweet too :D

Scaryalligator14 would like this vid

This is the most BEASTLY prime truck since beast hunters 😍

I love this soundwave hes not that much to be hated on

This Optimus prime feels like a practice round for studio series commander, especially with the novel trick at the legs.

The axe needs one of those Legacy Bulkhead wrecking ball hinges to engulf the whole hand

Why does Optimus' head look like his Battle master version, he looks like he plays Football and I actually like. Now I want to see him play football again at the end of the game, that'll be hilarious to see.

I appreciate your content over PrimevsPrime. You earned a sub

this prime is incredible, just got mine

Oh cool, early review on the new soundwa- "Chest doesn't open" Well sheit....

Dude i love the reactivate figures

Gotta say this gives me high hopes for what megatron, shockwave and Grimlock would look like in this style

soundwave reminds me a lot of bulk from prime in that alt mode

Do we know yet if these will be available again after this limited run

Something I’ve wanted to see Soundwave as for a while is an APC, armored personnel carrier. As I think it would be cool if his minions came out of the hatch which would also become his chest.

i would absolutely not call that soundwave a shellformer lmao

Guess I gotta make weapon add-ons for OP and a little laserbeak for soundwave.

Whenever I see Classics OP against anything, it always steals the show for me. Don’t know if they’ll ever top that mold for pure look.

I wonder if short pegs is an upcoming trend. The pegs on Bouldercrash and Magneous's weapon are rather short.

Definitely looking forward to these two early next year.. The Soundwave is about give or take, but decent for a deluxe toy. The Optimus though goes above and beyond what a good Voyager Optimus should be. Cleans up really nicely in both molds with fantastic kibble management, and proper articulation. Had really high hopes for the WFC figures at the beginning of this year but given most were underwhelming or not much of an improvement over the originals they were an easy pass. Reactivate as a whole though are uniquely different from any known designs, and executed so much better and look worth the buy.

Prime's cab transformation resembles the Magic Square Prime. Obviously, the MS Prime also borrowed a lot from the other figures.

I ordered this and actually enjoyed both figures. I feel like soundwave is always like ehh he hasnt got a opening chest is always a somewhat letdown, especially when he is quite bloated arounf the chest .

Looks like Soundwave should been Voyager class. Maybe the chest would have worked, and the altmode hinges would have been less obvious.

"A lot harder to swallow" THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID

Some reason I get American Football vibes from it.

This game definitely a tax write off now

looks like prime got most of the budget

@11:22 I swear if they did that with the classics Prime mold.......

if cyberverse can do an opening chest at deluxe this one should be able to as well

I dont mind this Soundwave being a smaller scout class with only Lazerbeak. I just wish he came with one.

I've heard that the wheels inside his torso are mistransformed in the instructions. If you leave them spread out something like this: |_._| instead of folding them up the whole way the backpack should tab in better and be more flush.

Soundwave being a deluxe really isn't an excuse for the chest being static. The Core class opened.

Ngl I was excited mostly for soundwave despite being a weaker figure because it's one of the few soundwave that turns into a vehicle. But the rest of the set looks so good I might have to hold back on some other figures.

The chest gap is also an issue on mine

I dont really care a lot for soundwave although i like him, i would get this pack only for prime

The one thing I just can't forgive is the base price on these sets. Sets that don't deliver anything special enough to justify buying.

I NEED THAT OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My only thing with prime is I wish they’d incorporate the black accents of the other guys. Maybe black legs like Rid 2015

Camera's a bit shaky today. Not so bad that it makes me dizzy but it's noticeable. Figure joints a bit tight?

with the issues I'd still buy them

Are we getting individual releases for these toys?

Could you please tell me how did you get this before Christmas I want it

I just want the prime as a stand alone figure

Im not expert on this things but that soundwaves is really similar the soundwave deluxe from Cyververse, it has the same ingienery with some upgrades but still with problems in the backpack. Even the vehicle mode is the same

Where do you get your stands? I've been trying to find some good ones

Hey, Toy Guy! Whats the stand you use?

I just dion;t get the receoption to this set, from every reviewer who's tackled it. That is an amazing Soundwave who, yes, lacks any of the iconic little buddies and cest compartment to but him in, but has a banger APC mode and moderate to mid-level backpack, plus... yet another Voyager Optimus Prime. How can anyone possiobly be excited about YET ANOTHER VOYAGER OPTIMUS PRIME? Maybe if they're brand new to collecting and don't have either WFC version in their multitude of variattions or SS38 or RotB (mainline or SS) or LGC Laser OP etc. etc. I've even come around to wanting a Xmas Prime just in time to have them start riding collector's market inflation instead of being on clearance and LGC Animaterd OP is not really the same, but come on, it's the same red and silver and blue dude with the minor varistions of folding the legs over to shorten the truck bed and having a Mad Max bumper. What is there ti be hyped about?

I’m pretty sure that the authentics Optimus prime fold the legs in.

I am getting the for Xmas

I gotta get soundwave

Megatron is going to be amazing I just hope they make him a little taller than prime or same hight unlike that gamer version

Honestly as someone who has theses 2 I gotta be honest I prefer Soundwave more than Optimus, yes he looks great but for me the joints are a bit too hard for me and could’ve honestly used a darker grey but still really like it Just the Soundwave is so fun towards me and it’s quite underrated to me if I’m honest And it’s literally the Soundwave I’ve waited for so many years for them to do or any studio or whatever you call em really Just hope I’ll get the other 2 pack (I’m honestly loving the Starscream ngl)

I like the bumblebee movie Soundwave even if his alt mode is a sandwich

I hope prime gets a good release for gamer edition

Why no q&a Video?

I swear TTG has the absolute WORST luck with his figures. I've never encountered any of the problems he has on his. He must absorb all the bad luck with all of us

I have to ask…. Why the prime vs prime music in the background during the first minute? I thought it was pretty funny honestly, but was that a dig at him? I hope so!🤣👍🏼

What is the music at 4:13

If only Soundwave came with Laserbeak

You watch your mouth about soundwave he's special to me 😭

Poor dude still can’t make the intro he wants. First btw

A ko company needs to retool the Ss 102 to make a bumblebee movie prime

i own the prime and i don't see where you got he shares engineering with siege er or mp10, like i don't see it, does he use some similar ideas sure, but its not the same engineering

i litterly just went to toys r us for jiaxus and cheetor came back and realized this pack was there watching this review im kinda glad i didint get it
