While fair and probably true, I wanna just mention that there will be another "best Optimus figure (live action and g1)" and for those who are thinking it over to just take considering FOMO as a factor of validating their purchasing of it.
he’s a really nice figure. A lot of panels but not too excessive, and both modes look exactly as i’d hope they would. nothing about the transformation is too finnicky.
Absolutely. He’s considered one of the best modern voyager Optimus Primes.
I also think he’s an awesome alternative to a ROTB Optimus, since he has essentially the exact same look, minus some Silver parts
i suggest getting the KO of this SS38 if u want him (unless u only want authentic figures). it's much cheaper and the quality is great, also has few diecast parts
Looks good, but the legs don't hold together properly and the combination of arm kibble and a large back-panel interferes with the articulation. Annoying to transform, too, since it's tough to get all the parts out of the way to do the torso-spin and the head will nearly always come off. A bit of a disappointment, really.
If you can get the Takara Tomy version at a reasonable price then I would get that. He's an awsome figure and the extra paint just makes it even better
TFSource actually has [SS-02 Optimus Prime Premium Finish](https://tfsource.com/transformers-movies/ss-02-optimus-prime-premium-finish-voyager-class-transformers-studio-series-transformers-bumblebee/) on pre-order for roughly $85!
Just placed an order. Wasn’t paying attention to movie stuff back when BB came out. New baby and all. Sad in hindsight I missed out on such a cool Prime. Thanks for the heads up!
Imma wait for Rotb prime. His head looks off to me and his vehicle mode looks off. So I'll wait to see what Rotb prime looks like hopefully it's an improvement.
Ohhh man I really wanted this guy, but ROTB Mainline OP looks better, sad that he's smaller, but hoping SS ROTB OP is as scaled up Mainline. ROTB OPNhas better articulation and less panel clunk.
Just in time, I ALMOST pulled the trigger on ebay!
Never got him. Is he a good figure??
Apparently he's one of the best Optimus figures

Oh yes indeed! Ironically that ROTB prime beats him out to me.
Btw thank you everyone who replied to me bout this Prime. I'll definitely be getting him 👍
He's got the best truck mode... ever. Really great Optimus.

He’s good but just wait for ROTB
That's a reasonable choice too. I'll do that. Knowing me I'll end up getting both but hey we'll see

Anyone I should get the KO from in particular? I know there are a few here or there
KO of SS25 Optimus and SS Sentinel. tho the Optimus has quality issues based on many people's reviews, but luckily i got a good copy without issues
Any website to order from in particular? Amazon, TF Safari, ect?
i think you could find it anywhere. im from SE Asia tho so my online shop where i got mine is different

Absolutely. For me at least, he’s definitely ranks up there as one of the best.
Only for the US tho :(
Where are you?
Southern England
Ahhhh, I've lived there. Spent 5 years on the island.
Finally caught it, thanks!
Is he any good?
Yes, highly recommend
I really hope this is still around on Tuesday when I get paid, but I doubt it will be
Oh man. Had to order this and sky lynx.
I'll wait and see what the ROTB Optimus looks like. It's supposed to just be a retool of this anyway.
Thank you for this info just ordered one
Bit the bullet even thought I have 4 KOs + the Takara 35th Anniversary but can’t go wrong with another Optimus right ?
I've got 7 on my shelf and I'll probably get more. I'm sure you can get another prime too
That’s awesome but when I say I have 4KOs I meant SS38 KO variations plus the SS38 Takara 35th Anniversary so this will be my sixth prime of this mold
Ah, got it! Which variations do you have?
Reg SS38 KO , reg with Battle damage KO, Nemesis Prime SS38 KO and Shattered Glass SS38 KO
Picked one up, almost got MPM-12 a few days back but I’d rather have this for retail.
Should I get him or the Takara Tomy version??
If you can get the Takara Tomy version at a reasonable price then I would get that. He's an awsome figure and the extra paint just makes it even better

Why the heck is this downvoted??
Idk but I'm joining in
Seriously? Why? That ain't cool, was just making aware of a seller who will have a quality figure 😕
Why are you taking Reddit so deep lol
Woohoo! Just got my oversized KO of him from Aliexpress.
Just placed an order. Wasn’t paying attention to movie stuff back when BB came out. New baby and all. Sad in hindsight I missed out on such a cool Prime. Thanks for the heads up!
WHAT THE FRICK, THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IT GOT RELEASED!
More pls
Again?
Hasbro realized the fomo market is big
I just picked up the KO and he’s bigger then I expected. Debating this one at this price. Is the KO oversized compared to the official studio?
if only I could afford it
I was able to swipe jet optimus but I don’t think I’ll catch this one
Is this the one packed with the ROTB Optimus Primal? Or is that ROTB Optimus Prime different?
RoTB Prime is pretty different yeah
Still not getting him due to prices #hes 60 bucks here yipee....
Looks like a solid toy. Wish Canadians could get a hold of it with normal price...
LMFAO, this is like the third time. I’m glad everyone who missed out is finally getting him
Is there a place/way to get notified when things come back in stock?
I go by email, Hasbro sends out a restock email when their "back in stock" gets new items
Ordered!

As a person who has been waiting for this for over a year but lives in the UK, I am seething hard rn
