This alternative build looks stellar! Also, glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought the axe looked nothing like the original one, or you know like an axe at all.
Excellent job conveying an extremely underrated Optimus Prime design in Lego. Not to mention, this is above and beyond work for a "B" build MOC. It nails all the angles, even the subtle ones above the hips, (I imagine that had to be a pain since the original set is NOT heavy on technic parts). Not only that, but you still worked in details, and barely sacrificed the color scheme.
I tought this was the set plus some extra pieces, but after finding out you used just the set I was stunned, great job.
I'm so glad I bought 2 Optimuses ... I just finished your model and couldn't be happier with the end result! Thanks man
You know, I actually wouldn't mind if Lego makes another set based on IDW designs, Stealth Bomber Megatron would be a banger of a set
This honestly tempts me to get a second Prime set to build this

Im gonna be honest this is my all time favorite creation made of lego ever ( including mocs and real sets )
Dang good job you’ve been doing pretty good with these limited pieces like the iron man bust and figure
damn, that looks so accurate and so beautiful!
Amazingly done 👏🏼 I really enjoyed the video too 👍🏽
This is amazing!!!!
Back in 2019 I built a 3ft tall Optimus Prime based off the version seen in the Bumblebee movie. I submitted my design to Lego, but they said it would be too much to get the licence. At the time, I believe Mega Blocks had the Transformers licence. It's nice to see they finally obtained it and put out a model, but it woulda been really cool to see my massive model as like a UCS set.

That looks awesome
Wow I’d like to buy this to make this version🤣 amazing job dude
Outstanding! Well done! As an Optimus Prime fan this video made me very happy and impressed. You just earned yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the great work!👍🏾
😌 I purchased your instructions on rebrickable and I have to say… you’re a genius!
It’s Bigger, It’s Better! Great Job As always Ransom
0:47 I discovered this EXACT same thing my LEGO Prime and I uploaded to my channel as well!
That is amazing

Good stuff
Just finished building mine, honestly if it wasn't for this alt, I wouldn't have got one, this looks so much better
Wow just wow 👍👍👍🤖🤖🤖
At first i was sceptical when I was buying the Lego Optimus,but after seeing this I’m definitely gonna buy him now 😃
yeah, sick
Got done building this a couple hour’s ago. Man! The robot mode is such a beast! I much prefer it then the G1 version. I never was fond of that one in robot mode. Much preferred it in truck mode but found your video here and bought the instructions and built this one up. Had to disassemble him from the stock which was no fun lol but think it was well worth it. One thing to note though and this was on me i think. Was missing some part’s but ended up winging it and just using other part’s from the set that didn’t necessarily need so all is good. I do also wanna say what’s kinda annoying is definitely build this brand new cause left with piece’s that have the sticker’s on.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! It required the spares that comes with the set and also bricks from the accessories, including the base of the plaque
Lego should’ve hire you
I was on the fence about getting another set to build this until I found out I had 2 baby blue quarter round pieces laying around. It was meant to be.
handsome fern
That's crazy.
so smart
I might get the OP Lego Set simply for this
I think i may actually buy the optimus set now
That thing is made from the Prime kit parts alone? Amazing job dude!
Awesome alternate build!! Do you plan on filling it out with additional pieces? I'd love to see instructions and a parts list if you ever do! ^_^
So the beauty of YT of me seeing TommyCBricks video a few weeks ago about his 5 mods the the new 10302 set and talking about his "dream" look to this set. Then fast forward to yesterday and me seeing his new vid review on your alternative build mod for the set...this morning, I purchased your instructions, was at the door waiting for the Lego Store at my local mall to open at noon, and got the 2nd to last OP set they had to build your Alt build moc! I do have 1 questions starting off is: "do your instructions go with the Numbered Bags OR just open bags, sort part, then build?" Awesome job on the build and looks sick! I wasn't planning on purchasing this OP set but once I saw what you did with it... I had to purchase and build it myself! This is my second alternative build set I've done for the first one was the new 2022 version of the Batmobile you had to buy the Lego 1989 version set to build it. So I'm looking forward to building this!

You’ll need to open all the bags and sort the bricks. I do recommend sorting them one at a time though… Chubbybots made a great video about sorting for MOCing and I think it works for building MOCs too: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gYCqsdmRipXYqKw.html Thanks for the kind words and support! Send me a private message on Rebrickable if you find anything difficult to follow 🤗
2:23 lmao the arm just makes me laugh.
Imagine this transforms :o
I need more videos from you I’ve built both your iron mans and the Optimus I need more
I want you to connect dinosaurs, robots.😊
The part about him can’t transform, that mean he not only IDW Optimus Prime but he also Action Master Optimus Prime since AM Optimus looks really slim and have more articulation than Truck Optimus.
I dig it! Better than the original by a very big margin ❤️

I was considering doing this to my optimus! What pieces would you suggest to help "finish" the rest of this build to help him be more sturdy?
Honestly I would make him look more like his Travis knight bumblebee movie optimus prime but this looks good
Kind of disappointed that there’s no articulation on the knees but this definitely looks cooler
It's very much a, touch with your eyes, kind of build

Kind of Figueroa's style. He applied more anime mecha proportions and decals to transformers. I think it fits seeing as several G1 character designs were by Japanese artists or retools of other Japanese mecha.

Why would you sacrifice a LEGO transformer that actually transforms for a non transforming transformer?
So you sacrifice a well put, stay together, figure because it looks "cooler" not worth it
Well that's just PRIME.
That looks cool but no thank you legos version is perfect basically
