@CobraCommanderTFW no lol I commented on skyrim being so wide spread in a comical way for a laugh then I asked about that big ass microphone you showed off.
I remember having this when I was I kid.... I was kinda disappointed to find out years later that in Japan this wasn't technically "Convoy" aka Optimus.
I remember thinking that Powermaster Prime sucked when I was a kid. Everyone else seemed to love him but his head and basic Prime form looked really bad too me. Oddly enough I did by they Super Ginrai reissue way back in like 2002 or something because he seemed to be far superior with his Diecast cab and hands that slotted out in super mode (plus God Bomber). Plus being able to sticker him like a sensible person really helps. I dont think I ever saw one done properly as a kid.
@steelsiphon yea its a fact that if you dont add the stickers to the figure then it looks insanly boring and generally crap the stickers add so much more to the figure
God Ginrai here with the reason behind why Powermaster Prime has Evil Red Eyes, whilst regular Prime has those Good Ol' Blue Eyes. It's because the Powermaster Form is being controlled by an Evil Being that wants to destroy us all!
Don't believe me? Then I'll give you a little hint about where I found my evidence. A 'nugget' if you will. Check out Powermaster Prime's legs.
For those of you without a Powermaster Prime or Super Ginrai, 16:35 is the place to go.
Great review! Powermaster Optimus Prime (the original 1980's version that is) is the first TF I ever got and I got many years of fun out of it! Your review brought back some good memories. Even just the sounds the toy makes brought back memories!
Got to ask though...was I the only one that ever angled the guns on the arms upwards? In the marvel comic, PM Prime always had them aiming straight up and that was the look I always went with.
@Alan1701b well i didnt read the comics from back in the day so that never even popped into my mind, i though they're guns so gotta aim them somewhere right? RIGHT lol if i actually read the comics from then i prob would hae done the same stuff as you did
@CobraCommanderTFW I totally agree - those cannons of those do need to aim somewhere. Odd thing is that in the Marvel comics I read was that I don't think I remember PM Prime ever firing his arm cannons. You'd think he'd have used them whilst duking it out with Galvatron in Time War so my line of reasoning for their pointing upwards and lack of use was that they were acting as the equivalent of the smoke stacks on the original Prime. It made sense to me at the time anyway.
Great Review, Power Master Prime is one of my all time favourite TFs and Masterforce my favourite show. What was the music for the trailer to base mode transformations? It sounds so familiar but I can't place it.
i remember doing a review on this guy myself XD you gona do a review of the apex armour? or godbomber or what ever his name was XD also congrats, your the first reviewer ive seen who could be bothered to show of the base mode
@digioverlord indeed i didnt do it here since the vid was 20 ish mins and i didnt want to add on another 4-8 mins ontop of that, it will be done though sir
Tip: When you have captions leave them on a little longer so we can read them. I don't like having to pause the video to read. Oh, happy belated birthday I lost the date of your actual birthday when I switched phones. I bought the reprolables for my Legends Jazz and they really help.
Wow a Yeti, it defenately gives you clearer sound. :) Awsome review by the way, yes Powermaster Prime (the only Prime I had as a child) was and will forever will be a brick, but that's G1 for you, it's full of sturdy bricks. :D Oh and bonus points for actually showing us the true size of King J-Der. :D
@David315842 ah good im sure the sound will get better the more i use the yeti as well and yea king j-der is kind of a beast in terms of size, i keep it in that room coz its so big plus its great for using to set the white balance on my cam lol
@CobraCommanderTFW Yep, well the sound quality is awsome, that yeti should serve you well. I'massuming that King J-Der and Fortress Maximus are probably the same height toywise, either way they will tower over most toys. :D
Nice review Andy, The colors on this version of Powermaster Prime are much darker and show accurate than his original version and they do stand out much nicer than the original. Plus the new features added to the toy give this toy alot more to do which is nice and the metallic paint work is a perfect feature for this toy too.
first of all, DAMN YOU SKYRIM, second of all,,, how much did that thing cost?!?!?!

To a degree he proves that Prime never was the smartest one. Using your most vulnerable component (a human in suit) as your belly armor.
