The feature bought in this video is 2002's Transformers Armada Supercon or Deluxe Class Optimus Prime with Overrun. After the success of my title wave video from a couple weeks ago, I decided to dig out some of my other Armada figures. And unfortunately, I only have two others. I have this Optimus Prime here and Armada Unicron sitting here in front of me. So I took this guy off the shelf today for the first time in years. I've been messing around with him and forgot how unique and quirky this figure was. So now, without further ado, let's take a look at this 20 year old Optimus Prime and see how he holds up today. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now we'll start things off by looking at Armada Optimus Prime and Overrun in their alt modes. Prime, of course, is a red and blue truck while Overrun is a jet. And taking a closer look at Overrun, I really like this jet mode. This is really cool looking, very futuristic, very streamlined. Got some nice paint applications there for the cockpit and back there on the tail fins. So pretty neat for what it is. And it also has retractable landing gear, which you don't often see even in Voyager size jets. He does have wheels here on the back and these right here, these are pins for the arms. They are not wheels. And what's funny, if he has his landing gear down or up, it makes no difference how he sits just because of the pins there for the arms. Now to transform Overrun into robot mode, you just simply fold the wings back, flip them around here, separate the arms and bring the landing gear down and bring down the chest. And there's Overrun in robot mode and he's very go-bot looking. I like the face sculpt with the yellow visor, but he does have one issue. That chest. All they had to do was add one more pin to bring that chest all the way down, but we're stuck with that. And you know, that really reminds me of something else. So anyway, articulation for Overrun, the arms can do almost a complete 360, but they are going to hit this section right here with the shoulder joint. I guess the shoulders can move in and out. And for some reason, he can do a van dam. Don't know why, but it's there. And that's pretty much it for the articulation. Overrun also has a third mode, is gun mode. Just transforming back to jet mode, except leave the wings up and then take the tail fin, flip this around. Let's see. And that'll expose a five millimeter peg. Actually, you're going to bring the wings up this way. So you've got this going on and make sure and peg those arms into the little slots. So that's Overrun's gun mode. So it's an upside down jet with the wings folded up. And that's pretty much it. Now you can take prime here and there is a port on the back of prime. You can plug Overrun in and since that handle is on a hinge, prime can have a rotating cannon on the back of his truck mode. So yeah, there you go. So now let's take a look at prime and prime's truck mode is a big beefy truck. And I am going to be honest with you, Armada's prime truck mode reminds me of a souped up rescue bot. It's big and chunky, just like rescue bot prime here. So that's kind of what I see with the Armada line. I mean, I said this before, the main reason I didn't collect a lot of Armada figures, I just thought they looked like play school. I guess they were called go-bots back then or wasn't rescue bots. But still, he's a decent truck mode and he's got some great paint applications. You got the yellow headlights, the lights there on top of the cab, the gray windows that go all the way around, some gold trim right there. Wheels look really good if he rolls. Awesome. I mean, that's pretty slick right there. Paint applications here on the back as well. He's also got a hitch and from what I read, if you have the larger Optimus Prime, this prime can carry the trailer. So yeah, lots of nice sculpted details, lots of nice paint applications on the figure and he's solid, man. You could throw this one across the room and it's not going to damage anything whatsoever. A modern figure, you sneeze, it falls apart. So now let's get prime transformed into robot mode. First thing we'll do is flip this section here up and separate the legs. And now you're going to pull the legs down, extend those. Go ahead and flip the feet around. Bring the butt skirt back. Take the front of the cab, the grill, bring this down and around. Take the arms, bring it down like so. And now you're going to kind of collapse these up. It's a really tight joint. Collapse those up like so. Bring the arms further down. And now you're going to take the grill section here, bring this up. You've got two pegs that's going to slot in right there. Go ahead and take the forearms, turn these around and take this little blue section here and push up over the bicep, revealing the fists. And there you have Armada Deluxe Prime in robot mode. And prime in robot mode looks pretty good though. He's a little misproportioned. I mean, he did not skip shoulder day at all. He's just got this very wide look to him and he's just a beefy, Optimus Prime figure. Once again, great paint applications. You've got the silver for the crest, yellow eyes, silver mouthplate. There's some yellow right there for lights. Blue here on the side of the chest with some little yellow circles. You've got paint applications down here on the shins and you can see the gold around the forearms. And he actually has gold fingers. He has these smoke stacks now attached to his forearms that can be weapons, but be warned, these things just peg on. And there's really no function for that other than to get lost. So if you're looking for one of these on the third market or eBay, make sure he's got these little smoke stacks. Articulation for prime. His heads on a ball joint can look up and down, do a complete 360. The arms can do a complete 360. They can go out, but that looks a little weird. There's an elbow bend. There's an elbow rotation, no wrist rotation, waist rotation. Legs can go forwards very slightly. And I guess they can go back if you move that butt flap out of the way. There is a knee bend on a nice ratchet and a very slight ankle tilt. So lots of posibility for this 2002 figure. He just can't stand very well. So now we get overrun here and we can put him in prime's fist like so. And there you have Armada Optimus Prime, all armed and ready for battle. Now of course, Prime being an Armada figure, he does have a gimmick with his Minicon. Take overrun here and you can see the little Minicon port or hole there. Prime has a peg on his back and what you're going to do is go ahead and kind of position the hands like so. Plug overrun in the back here. And now you just simply move the lever up and down and this happens. That's it. It looks like Prime is being electrocuted. So the leader of the Autobots, that's the gimmick they give him. That sucks. But it is what it is. I guess kids in 2002 thought that was awesome with Optimus Prime with his electrocution or getting shot action feature. And now for some quick size comparisons, here is 2002's Transformers Armada Super Con Optimus Prime with overrun, with Generation 1 Optimus Prime, Rescue Bots Optimus Prime, and Siege Optimus Prime. 2002's Transformers Armada Super Con Optimus Prime with overrun is a pretty cool Transformers Toy Set. I like this figure a lot better than I did the Super Optimus Prime that had the self-transforming trailer and all the overwhelming amount of gimmicks which is probably why I still have this Optimus Prime and sold off, I guess it was called Super Links back in the day. Overrun is pretty cool for a Minicon. I love the Jet Mode. Robot Mode would be a lot cooler if he didn't have that massive double D chest. Optimus Prime looks great, he's big, he's beefy, but his gimmick absolutely sucks. So there you go guys, Transformers Armada 2002 Super Con Optimus Prime with overrun. So, does a 2002 Transformers Armada Super Con Optimus Prime with overrun belong in your collection? Well, if you're an Optimus Prime fan or an Armada fan, I'd say absolutely. This is a fun figure. He's a little weird, he's a little quirky, but he's so cool. You know, considering he's 20 years old and just as durable as he was the day I took him out of the package, that is awesome. And I think you can actually find these guys fairly cheap on eBay still. Like I said, you just want to watch out to make sure his smokestack wrist guns are attached. So yeah, you see a Super Con Optimus Prime on the shelf or in the shop or wherever. Pick him up, you are not going to be disappointed.
