Video Review: Transformers Age of Extinction First Edition Optimus Prime

Pretty sure I posted Emgo316's review before Optibotimus posted his. Or is it because it's not my review?

You did indeed, but you made the same mistake I made with a couple of reviews I linked a while ago and posted it in the wrong forum, so it was missed.

It wasn't in the wrong forum, it was a time lapse int the news emails as Va'al told me. Oh well.

As for this review: GOD DAMN MAN! Those lights! I can't see your table.

Just to clarify: If you think something is newsworthy, either post in the News and Rumours section, and we'll pick it up/consider it, or post it in the appropriate section and drop us an email with a link to it!

Manterax' notification was seen almost at the same time as we were working on this one, which is why one was newsed and the other wasn't.

Fires_of_Inferno: If I told you it was the wrong forum, I apologise - I meant to say it's easier if it's in the News section, or if you email us as soon as you post it, so we notice it. There's a lot of threads to go through to pick up actual news!

Does that clear it up?

Sorry, but this toy is complete crap. Not a big fan of shell-formers. Not a big fan of humongous backpack with no functionality. Not a big fan of overly simplified transformations. Not a big fan of a whole third of the vehicle mode sitting on the robot mode's back as kibble.

No sir, I don't like it. I look at this Optimus and just go over and over...

On a side note, I had to watch Emgo's review because when I started to watch Optibotimus' review, I couldn't make out a lot of the details, and it started to hurt my eyes cause it was so bright... Just sayin...

Hmm..

Well I would jump on the shell former bandwagon too, but I bought this figure and it should be arriving from Amazon tomorrow after we get another 6-8 inches of snow here in Central Illinois. No this figure will not appeal to everyone but I'm kind of digging the truck mode. Chrome aside...the proportions are pretty accurate and you get the massive size of truck itself. I will most likely keep him in truck mode and display next to my DOTM Jetwing Optimus Prime. My only complaint is that the door windows are neither clear or at least painted black...even including stickers would have been nice Hasbro! I will enjoy the figure and will have no one to blame but myself when he ends up on Amazon for 19.99 in a couple of months . I only paid $19.99 for the Beast Hunters Prime and I loved that thing before I gave it to Goodwill with a bunch of other recently released figures. Everyone just needs to calm down now and know that this is what's coming. We may see more shell formers down the road.

~reluctantyouth~

Both modes look horrible. I guess we can expect to see reviewers kissing Hasbro's butt about how great simple is while trying to convince themselves that this is a good figure. Oh well, it gives me a chance to save up and get more 3rd party figures instead of these.

Thanks to everyone that watched my video and appreciated it.

To those talking about the "brightness" or not being able to see my table. Not seeing the table is the point of what is called "infinite white background". You don't see the table basically and it has just what the title states, and infinite white background look. The exposure level, ISO, lighting, and anything else, is the same that is used on recent videos of mine. It's my personal preference for how i like my videos to look, the problem with this figure is the reflective nature of the chrome. I choose to film the way i do and emgo does with his. It's personal preference.

All that being said, again, thank you for watching the video if you did. It's always appreciated and always an honor when Seibertron features something i do.

I want to also apologize if my last seemed rude. I didn't intend for it to be. I thank you all for your feedback. It's all very much appreciated, despite what some may think...i use it to help make my videos better. Constant feedback on things is the only way to help me do that, so i want to first make it clear that i appreciate it and welcome it. Previous feedback about my videos looking too bright on occasion led me, for example, to go out and buy a brand new camera some time ago. I went and upgraded my camera, allowing me to better control things manually, such as exposure, white balance and the ISO. I also upgraded my lighting and studio area. I also reached out to an actual photographer that helped me learn how to better use all these new items. Not everything is always going to look perfect, but i wanted to just let everyone know that the feedback has helped me and i take it all very seriously.

And even with 6 steps, he's still the better figure.
