  • Thx 1 year trying to transform chest thank u I couldn't find pegs u showed me thank u

  • thanks buddy alot of help ive been trying to do this now since last night it should come with a how to dvd!!!

  • The instructions that come with the bot suck

  • Thankyou,you saved Optimus Prime from certain death.

    Who ever designs these things is an engineering genius.

  • Excellent review!! Thank you, my son has been wanting me to transform this thing and I would have never been able to do it without your help. Thanks alot.

  • It seems like you edited out the hardest parts...

  • THANKS!!!! I got the battle hooks optimus, took off the battle damage, repainted the grey silver chrome like buster prime and just transformed him.

    To anyone thinking about repainting him, try not to paint over the pegs on the feet and the arms or they will have trouble closing properly, it's easily fixed with a little paint thinner if you happen to do it anyway. So no worries.

    Awesome figure. Thinking about getting leader starscream, anyone care to convince me to or not to buy it?

  • Thanks for the help. One of the best Transformers movie figures out there.

  • @ComicsLegend but the buster and jetwing is better

  • @MrAlbush93 I agree but essentially its the same figure, just with a few modified parts.

  • Thanx for this i could not transform him to truck mode

  • Rimfyre thanx man

  • i had this for about 2 years, never felt like transformin him, moving now so packing will be a lot easier.

    I could not have done this without this video, thank you,

  • I could not have done this without this video, thank you

  • Thanks man that was alot of help

  • wow that took lightyears!

  • thanks buddy, after nearly two freakin hours, finally got him to the damn truck mode. miss the days when transformers need five steps of transformation the most, i know i know this is an engineering feat, but sadly, i am no engineer!

  • thanks for the video buddy. my son stayed with me this summer and he forgot to pack his transformers back up when he left. i couldn't justify mailing optimus back home in robot form. way too big. i asked him how to transform him to truck, and his reply was..."i don't know. i think i lost the instructions." they aren't lost. they were discarded with the original carton that optimus was in! anyways, now he's a truck again. thanks, pal.

  • your review saved me from smashing optimus prime...thanks

  • I remember when you could actually play with them. Now you need an engineering degree to transform them and if you look at it wrong, it pops a part. The makers totally sacrifice functionality for....I really don't know why they did. These modern versions suck. My son can't even play with it.

  • @websslinger

    Maybe for your kids, its better to buy Voyager class or legends class figures. I'd recommend legend class because just like G1 its easy to transform.

    oh, and . . . uhh, functionality? This guy has tons . . .And you can play with them (I play with this optimus prime figure with my little brother every day,hehe quite fun) . . .

  • Cube rubik

  • thank you! 3 hours of trying to do this without the directions (my nephew lost them) and i finally got it ha ha you should make a note that fresh out of the box the head does not feel like it moves, it is very stiff and takes force to get it right because without the 2nd joint on the head moving you will NEVER get the cab into place (:

  • This figure is the best of all. i like him

  • I AM SO MAD BECAUSE I CANT GET THE HEAD TO BEND DOWN I CAN ONLY GET THE NECK TO BEND DOWN GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • @fendercuber me either, i am trying to transform my 4 year old nephews optimus and i can not get the head into the right place thus the rest of it will not come together, did you ever solve this issue?

  • @fendercuber never mind i got it just pull on the head kinda hard back and it will move making him "look up"

  • @fendercuber push the head up harder, dont be afraid of breakage, hope this helped :)

  • @fendercuber ur lucky u have it

  • @fendercuber hold the neck and move the head....no need to get angry

  • Thanks! I was able to fix the broken transformer so at least it looks like a semi now :)

  • Never mind I like it now because the vid tought me how to transform it

  • I hate this toy its hard to transform into truck

  • Looks nice)Detailing is cool +5

  • My brother gave me his Optimus from the first film, I have never transformed it. I don't even know where to begin. My class Prime on the other hand can be transformed with my eyes closed.

  • this is some fuckng bullshit hardest shet to transform ever

  • do u do drugs??cuz u sound like ur drunck

  • @babybenjie shut up

  • rimfyre with my optimus prime the sliver things on his shoulder stick out which stops me from putting on the exhaust pipes.PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey thanks ALOT MAN!you helped me transform him for the first time!

  • @Evenxpokemon when did u get him ?

  • can you imagine ALL the hard work and long hours it probably took the toy designers to make and put this thing together lol wow :) how awesome!!! great how to review dude

  • good job for a old guy

  • @tammypapa1 Old guy? And how old are you, 62?

  • Holy Shit, how 5-10 years child can transform it?

    I am sure I can't at my 23

  • I really appreciate how good it is to transform it, I also do agree that the first one was easy to do so but the feel of transformation is better to this new one!

    Autobots, transform and roll out!

  • Optimus Prime can do this in 3 seconds

  • THANKS MAN ^_^ ITS HELPS ME REALLT LOT

  • why the hell do they make the transformations so difficult and complex? arnt kids supposed to know how to do it instead of getting confused?

  • @lightningfire000 The transforming,is just like a kid's rubix cube so it also challenge u and those who agree with me thumbs up yo!

  • when u said optimus prime it sounded like ur pooing

  • great video keep them coming

  • @cortmeister262 Dont feed the trolls my friend.

  • When I was growing up, I loved playing with transformers. They were easy for me to change back and forth, but these new transformers are difficult!

  • @cartoonkid1988

    You know, not all of these "new" transformers are that difficult. Have you seen any of the voyager class, deluxe class, or scout class figures? They are fairly easy to transform and still have great possibility and detail to them.

  • @RagaRBM My favorite series is Transformers Armada. My favorite transformer is Sideways.

  • i bought this exact same figure from the carboot sale for £2 im not joking im so happy how much id the retail price im thinking of buying another to compare .....

  • Thanks for the help. My son´s been nagging me since easter to transform his for him. Many were the times the thing came close to the trashbin.

  • mine is not hook and doesn't have a cover on the mouth

  • Thanks dude I was transforming my optimus at the same time I was watching your video thanks a lot

  • thanks for the guide. my optimus prime was bought a long time ago but i didnt get to transform it

  • which is better, the 1st movie leader prime, or this revenge leader prime, i want to figure out if i can use movie leader jetfire attach to 1st movie prime with the belt buckle from jetfire. reply if u know info

  • I couldn't find the damn instructions... you saved me a lot of time and a huge head ach. Thanks bro

  • after few hours of labor. Finally I got it. I can't believe this toy is for 5yrs old.

  • YAAAY!!!!!!!!! Awsome review, i eed this guy!!!

  • thanks a lot man :O really helped hahahah (:

  • the red is annoing i have sliver the sliver is more cool

  • 7:07 WTF MAN CALM DOWN

  • this really helped. i lost the instructions to this so he was just sitting in my room with nothing to do

  • @GoWbrootis hey fuck off dude....no one talked to you...and the reason i saw this, well simple, a video push another and on and on

  • thx, this helped me tremendously!

  • I just got one for my 5 year old son. It says 5 years+ on the box. I am not sure how he would be able to do it without me helping and watching this vid. Good job and to the point. And the instructions that you get with it suck a##

  • Don t you have a life???

    idk but u look like 30 years old, and u still playing with toys...The last toy like that i had, was like 8 yrs old....i like transformers, the voice behing it, and the 3d effects, but i don t like an adult making a review of optimus prime, showing me that there are adults that still litle boys

    GET A LIFE

  • @ecboss10 Why dont u get a life instead of trolling peoples vids, so what? Im getting a Movie Premium Barricade!

  • @ecboss10 I don't know about you but most people usually older than 15-20 don't really play with toys. They are collectible and people enjoy having 'em. I know I do. I have over 100 Star Wars action figures and about 70-80 other random action figures ranging from Transformers, Voltron, Thundercats and Masters of the Universe.

    Funny thing is he probably has a life. His collecting action figures is more a hobby. Being a nerd is not a bad thing.

  • @Perrigrin24 i am not talking about having toys, everybody has a collection of something, i was talking about having a all video about how to play with it...i don t play with toys, that was like 12 years ago...so i guess i am right...at least about the video

    have a nice day

  • @ecboss10 Actually, it's not a video about playing with it. It is a guide on how to transform from robot mode to truck mode. More of a help guide. Seeing as with all the new transformers action figures the instruction manual that comes with it is really crappy and hard to understand. For the most part. More of an instruction rather than actually playing with the thing.

  • @ecboss10 lol idiot he not playing with them he just giving intructions on how to transformer it and how he looks and other things. you stupid fuck

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you. This was very helpful. :D

  • You really helped me transform him into alt mode

  • Thank you soooo much for making this video. Straight and to the point! After viewing other videos (many were close to 40 minutes!!!!) This is the only one that helped me and was edited VERY well. Well done!

  • In my day Transformers took 10 seconds to transform, not 10 minutes

  • Похож на бэт мэна =))

  • Похож на бэт мэна =))

    Нанотехнологии =)

  • @Razewaltz there is no way you could transform that fast!

  • @Razewaltz Obviously these Transformers now a days are better then. Smarter generation, acutally takes a little concentration and working your brain. which is a good thing isnt it ?

  • @JDBernal82 The whole point of effective designing is to make the end result as easy to use as possible (unless it is designed purely to train mental coordination). I appreciate what you're trying to get at but thinking should be used as much as possible in the design labs so you wont need to think about it in the battle/playground lol.

  • @Razewaltz lol sorry. I completely disagree with with that last part

  • @Razewaltz When i first did this it took me about a week :-\ I was getting so mad with it grrrrrr.

  • @Razewaltz Then Transformers figures are way funnyer today and way more accurate.

  • @ArmodrilloExpert5000 Where's the fun in a 10 minute transformation? Look at the comments below: Do they look like they're having fun? Half of them want to smash the toy, and the other half are ASKING for help... it's meant to be a toy not a Rubix cube.

  • @Razewaltz Ok, not fun with 10 minute transformation, but they ARE better today. MY opinion.

  • alright nevermind, not a minute after i last commented i got it, but thewindshield still isnt connecting right

  • my wheel pairs can't line up. my windshield cant hook in in the bottom of the glass and the bolts on top and i cant get the two halves to line up. help?

  • Lol, this toy is NOT for kids haha. I feel bad for all the 5 year olds crying over this thing. lmao, im horrible xD

  • thanks for the help.. moving the arms back till they snap had me for hours!!

  • i spent 5 hours last night and my kid is already crying, i don't know that the arms can be detached from shoulders down to rib cage..tnx for the vid.

  • great toy bad news cost ya about 50$ :( and i got it :)

  • The worst toy ever. You need to be a mechanical engineer in order to put this thing together. This person did it fast but for the average citizen or Mom like me, this thing is horrible. I am so overwhelmed right now!!! This is not a toy. It is a machine designed by someone who dislikes kids and loves to see them frustrated. I gave up after 2 hours. Can you imagine a kid transforming this thing?

  • @gmail123forever Yeah me...with patience l tried to transform him by my self but l could't.l stuck in the part connecting the windows with the front of the car.lt took me about 1 hour.So l watched Rimfyre transforming him and l did it :)

    Sadly it was my cousins toy...l am looking forward for the HFTD Leader Optimus Prime

    Thanks Rimfyre!!!

  • @gmail123forever

    LOL. Go back to the kitchen and make us a sandwich!

  • awesome dude this really helped! Thanks.

  • Thanx for the clip mate !!!! Very helpful.

  • Would have been a better video if it didn't have so many choppy edits. Makes understanding the transformation much more difficult.

  • Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Your video is the most understandable one I've seen on how to do this. Great job.

  • i loveu optimus prime

  • what should i buy?leader starscream or optimus prime?

  • Thank the lord for this video, taken 2 days on and off to try and get it done! managed straight away with this video. Cheers

  • Dude, I placed an order for him yesterday and this video is gonna help me out so much when I get him.

  • thx my good paw

  • instruction got 25 steps thank you very very very much for that !!!

  • i spent ages baffled by the less than useless picture instructions that came with this toy yesterday. I got the front and back part but the cab was so confusing i gave up. my biggest prob was the instructions were too vague which meant pullin at random parts hoping they would move before they break an since it was my 4 year old nephews christmas present i wasn't gonna do that. esp since it looked like neither truck or optimus when i got it handed to me lol.

  • i tried and i coudnt, so i got pissed oof and a broked it hahahahaha

  • @Megamartin1000 then you are stupid.

  • ei vc com prou o boneco a onde?

  • @Megamartin1000 asshole its fuking prime you stupid dick

  • shall i get the hunt for the deceptions one or this one?

  • lol "watch in prime quality" lol love it

  • Honestly, I like the second Optimus Prime better than the first one, but I only have the first one, and it seems to me that the second one looks cooler in both forms, but I like the first one for the transformation process, they made the second one too difficult. : /

  • Thanks for the video champ!... Almost returned Optimus back to the shop due to stupid instruction from Halsbro. Spent whole day in vain trying to transform looking at the instructions whch came in the box...lucky i found your video.

    The tough part was pulling the windows out as I was scared that I might brake them.

  • Thanks for the video champ.... I almost returned optimus back to ths shop due to stupid conversion instructions from Halsbro. Spent whole day in vain and then decided to search on you tube.

    The hardest part was pulling the windows out and putting them in the grove, I was very scared that I might brake it.

    Thanks again

  • 1:18, naw i would of never guessed you were optimus prime XD

  • i'm stuck at 3:48

  • cool vido =o)

  • at 7:36 it looks kinda like a spaceship :D

  • Hey guys, are all of your TRY ME buttons on the leader class optimus ROTF broken? because when im transforming it to vehicle, mine's broken

  • for me, this is the hardest transformer toy convertion

  • i wasted my saturday for transforming this!!!!

  • Thank you!!!!!! I finally know how to transform Optimus!!!!!

  • Thanks so much for posting this! I had such a hard time transforming Leader Class Optimus and your vid helped a lot ! You rock; Rimfyre, UNTIL THAT DAY, 'TIL ARE ONE!!!!!

  • kicking ass ride /watch?v=WAz5gV1IYtY

    wana see this hot toy in some stopmotion action ?

  • OPTIMUS PRIIIIIIIIME!!!!!

  • What I don't get is that they still have one more movie to make what means one more new leader prime but HOW ARE THEY GOIN TO TOP THIS???

  • i found it was hard to put the bottem of the windshield in the slots

  • hes frickin orange! and those peices beside the smokestacks shuld be grey!

  • I have to say thank you for the instruction on how to turn it to car mode and chance on how to turn it back to robot mode.

  • Doesn't quite go as fast as it does in the movie huh  :D

  • SeanXLong the 2nd...!! :)

  • i just putted this on layby, can't wait to get it out!

  • how much  was he

  • My 5 year old just got this as a gift. Needless to say, the instructions are complete junk.

    You sir, have saved both my sanity, and this toy from becoming a pile of pieces.

    Thanks a bunch for this tutorial!

  • Thanks a million for this! I wouldn't have been able to figure this out without the video.

  • Oh God thank you! The box says 5+ which begs the question, what the hell kind of 5 years olds are Hasbro using?!

  • i wanna know if optimus prime will get a new mold (no doubt bumblebee will get one, two , three new molds and a thousand repaints) and a trailer since i've seen some videos of guys filming out of their offices at the tf 3 set, that would be cool (and g1 acc.)

  • he is so cool

  • are you Al from Al's toy barn in toy story? (cos you got hairy arms like him and you sound like him)

  • You, my friend, just saved my sanity.

  • OMG SO HARD

  • you r f'n anoying! i got this today and when you showed me how to do the chest piece it broke!

  • Does he say just one sentence?

    please reply

  • Comment removed

  • LOL! Watch in Prime Quality.

  • why don't you explain how to remove the chest piece, because it is frustrating as hell!

  • why don't you explain how to take off the chest piece, because it is seriously frustrating me

  • they gotta do the instructions in color cause doing the arms is total bull shit.

  • I yust bought it today. It took me from 10 : 25 to 12 : 03 to build this toy

  • How does prime do this himself in like 5 seconds?

  • is buster optimus prime bro?

  • shutup!!!!!!!!!!

  • if it took that long for optimus to transform in the movie he would get smashed

  • @flathy111 LMFAO!!!!

  • those pieces on the shoulders near the smoke stacks are chrome on mine :P

  • @dragonjohn7445 mine too

  • What is amigos mean? every black dude keeps saying it

  • @TheWindowbreaker amigos means freinds

  • I have the buster prime- the one with the mouth showing, metallic and chrome paint job, and the transforming gun. The buster one is so much better.

  • this guy is really awesome !!

  • took me 5 hours on my own, 10 mins with this video.

  • Thanks! I just bought this for my sons 5th birthday and little did I know that It would take an adult to transform him. Great tutorial thanks.

  • Thank you thank you thank you thank yo. I got the one from Japan and I couldn't get it transformed (plus I couldn't understand parts of the directions) and this really really helped THANKS!!!!

  • my little brother got this and gave it to me after he broke off the chest piece and one of the leg sets of wheels and the only part of him I can't transform is his feet

  • Buster Optimus Prime was way better in my opinion...

  • I'll take that back He is so freaking awesome

  • This toy is freaking suck

  • fergie replacin megan fow in transformers 3!! omg lol thats what might happen. :( megan fox is better....

  • that was the best transformers ROTF review of optimus prime i have ever seen the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
