 Hey guys, welcome back to Come Again, TV the only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides. I'm Shannon, and today on the show, we're taking a look at the Transformers Siege War for Cybertron trilogy, Optimus Prime. As you can see, as usual, it's from Hasbro. It's part of the Transformers Generations line to Kara and Tomy. There's the side of the box, the other side you see nice image of Optimus there, and there you see Optimus on the back. Very cool. This, I never had an Optimus Prime growing up. I had very few Transformers growing up actually. I always liked the cartoon. I like anytime I was at my friend's house, I loved playing with their Transformers. They were just so expensive. I couldn't really get that many of them. So I'm glad to be able to get some now. My collection is expanding quite a bit. I just picked up quite a few of them. And it wasn't until I came across caveman reviews here on YouTube that I started getting more into Transformers, all the lore and the figures themselves. We're collaborating on a couple videos that should be coming out in the near future. Hopefully, fingers crossed. I did a review on a Transformer for his channel that he should be coming out with soon. Now he's back doing YouTube again. And he's going to be doing the voiceover for a history and origins of Megatron video for Comic-Con TV. So make sure you stay tuned for that coming out in the near future. So anyway, let's go ahead and get into Optimus Prime. He does come with some directions, which I did have to go over before filming this because I don't mess with them too much. I keep them all displayed. Occasionally I will pick them up and transform them just so that the joints don't get stiff and all this. But I digress. Anyway, as you can see, he comes with a blaster right there. And he comes with his X, which in and of itself transforms as well into a blaster. All you do is fold this part down, fold this part up, and you can use it like that as a shield or as a blaster like that. Pretty cool. Set those off to the side. And I really love the sculpt on Optimus. Optimus was always my favorite character in the Transformers, as I'm sure he was many people's favorites and Transformers. He was my grail growing up. I never got him. I never even saw him in stores because they were always sold out of him. I do plan on eventually picking up one of the Re-Release Generation 1 Optimuses. But I don't want to do that until I can find a Re-Release Generation 1 Megatron, because they kind of go together. It would feel unbalanced if I had one and not the other. I had Megatron for a few weeks, and then I finally managed to pick up an Optimus. So anyway, like I said, the sculpt on this guy is awesome. You can tell he's got some battle, some battle damage here. Paint, wearing off from battle. Very cool. I did get my son the film version of Optimus Prime a couple years ago. Somehow he managed to lose the head. I don't know how he managed to do that, but he did. Because I was going to do a review on him a while back, but with no head it seemed kind of pointless. I do actually prefer the film version of Optimus Prime over the square body red semi of the animation and generalized style of him. Even though this was the original, I still prefer the blue with red flame semi Optimus Prime. So anyway, let's go ahead and get started on this. We're going to bend the elbows just like that, and I'm going to take you in the order that it shows on the directions, and then we're going to flip the legs around right at the knee. I'm going to bring this part out and up, then flip the wheels around just like that. Same thing on this side, the wheels out just like that. And now before you connect this, you're going to want to, this part right here, it's very difficult to try and get a grip on it to flip it open on both legs. So you're going to want to come at it from the sides just like that, flip them up, and then we're going to go ahead and bring, close the toes, toe and heel, and then we're going to connect, as you can see here, this tab here tabs right in above that tab, and that tab tabs in right below that one. Tab those together, this octagon inserts right there, tab together just like that, and then once we got that done, we're going to fold this up. And it folds, it isn't just the legs that fold up, you've got to fold up this whole, see if you just fold the legs back, then it's going to be off. So you've got to take right behind the crotch piece, fold that whole piece up just like that. Okay, then fold those in. All right, then what we do, we bring the backpack up, spin it around just like that. Generally, this is where the directions will tell you to go ahead and fold the feet, but I went ahead and did it ahead of time. So anyway, you take this piece, fold it up, and fold this piece around on his arms, just like that. And they can only go one way. If you don't try taking it the other way, because they are blocked by this piece here, you may end up breaking them if you try. So fold it around just like that, and then bring his arms back just like that. The wheels take a little bit of effort. They're a little awkward. You bring the wheels down, and you put them flat for now. And then once you do that, bring the arms around. This part's a little awkward. The fists slide right in to this groove here. Okay, same thing on this side. Make sure you get that tab over, then we go ahead and bring the wheels up. And then we open his chest. So we open his chest, go ahead and fold down his head. All right, make sure it's folded down all the way. We open up the backpack, fold out the gray piece, bring it down. This gray piece will cover up his belt, bring this part around, clip it in both sides. It clips in just like that. Okay, once we got that done, we can close the chest piece and then finish tabbing everything in. All right, there you have Optimus Prime in semi-mode. Now there's a number of things that you can do with these. All right, you can put his gun in either one of these peg holes, which looks okay. You can put it on the side here, which looks good. Looks all right. Or you can plug it in in the back, which looks good too. You can also plug it in back here and have it flip around. That looks good. Although I'm a very symmetrical person, so I really need him to have two cannons to make it even. Kind of my OCD kicking in. And then this one, you can pretty much do the same thing. It fits just about everywhere. And the axe part does tend to unclip from time to time, and it just clips back in. Let's see. Tab it back in. Something else you can do with this is you can go ahead and take the axe back out and kind of like that. If he passes by a Decepticon, he can go right past it and just cut it in half and back up and do the which is cool. You can also do that back here as well. Cut them right in half, flip it around, hook onto the other one, and drag them backwards. So anyway, there you have it, guys. The Transformers Siege War for Cybertron Optimus Prime.
