Alternate Universe Optimus Prime- Transformers Generations Earthrise War for Cybertron review. Transformers the movie dead Optimus prime!

 

You can not comply your way out of tyranny

Aloha folks. I'm back with another review of Transformers. Thanks to Transfan84/Darkonen giving me ER Optimus Prime, I was finally able to open up this guy I picked up from Amazon since last year. Why is that? You will see soon enough. Without haste, let's get started!

Boxing

Chest

Who do you see?

Head/shoulders

Right arm

Left arm

Back

Crotch/pelvis

The figure comes in box that resembles Optimus's battered body. I have labeled the pics to show you the body parts that are visualized as you inspect the outer box. You can also see Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, and Arcee's reflection on the left chest panel. As his chest cavity opens, you reveal the figure. Neat concept. 

Here is the video if you prefer see the body parts in real time. 

Returning from the dead

The contents are pretty much the same packaged release like ER Prime. The main differences are: Primes spark-less body, his trailer is dulled out (pretty much yellowed, haha), gun is silver painted now (much nicer looking as well), and battle damage: marks on mouthpiece, slash on the left stomach, and bent ears. All trademark damage caused by Megatron in the 86 flick. I received a matrix in this one though but thanks to that thick chest of his again, it's a little difficult for alt Prime to hold the matrix steady in most angles. The Matrix color included here seems to be a little duller looking than the one that came with Hot Rod. Or it looked to me that way. Alt-Prime also uses the same gimmicks ER Prime had regarding the trailer parts and poses. 

*This alt-Prime version uses another rifle provided by Darkonen/Transfan84 given to me around Christmas 2020. 

Alt mode

As for alt mode, easy to transform if you already played with ER Prime. Same gimmick though I forgot to mention you can plug his weapons inside of his trailer if that is your forte. Not to mention, you can stick the artillery drone outside the trailer while it is folded up. 

*Missed opportunity: I should have had ER prime man that drone in these pics.*

W/Earthrise Optimus Prime

You can see the differences. Apparently, dying caused Prime's trailer to fade out as well. Since its the same mold, they can both swap each other's parts out. The joints are tight for both figures as both of them are alike in the play factor. Both look great in their respective conditions. 

Optimus Prime's death scene 

"One day an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the Matrix to light our darkest hour." ~ Optimus Prime. 

"I fear the wounds are... fatal." ~ Perceptor

 "Ultra Magnus, it is to you old friend. I shall pass the matrix of leadership as it was passed to me."

"Until that day, Till all are one."

I had fun though I wish I had a better setup.  I had no actual Daniel figure sans the 86 Slag counterpart one. Till all are one.

Conclusion:

This is figure to have if you are a Optimus mark. You are double dipping on the same ER figure but I always wanted it just to re-play the death scene. I'll end it here. Until next time. Thank you for visiting and reading. Till all are one. 

Darn it Magnus, I said it was to you!

G1 1984 Jazz toy review! All that Jazz! Jazz comparisons with United, Reveal the Shield, and 86 Studio Series.

 Thank you to Heath, my brother from another mother in Washington state. This is an exclusive quick look and review on the original Jazz mold. 

1984 Jazz G1 style! Robot and alt mode

G1 Jazz, die-cast and all. This is a 2nd hand figure plus he was very loose, stickers peeling and all, but I'm not really complaining and this guy is the original Jazz of all Jazzes. You can start to see some yellowing behind his legs otherwise the paint everywhere else is still a decent finish. His alt mode looks fantastic and easy to transform. It took the 86 studio series line to match that and it pales simply because that line is missing decals and some paint. This is 84 where you had heavy plastic (metal), decals, and metallic finish guns and missiles. Speaking of missiles, the launcher came broken so I couldn't attach it on his shoulder. On the last pic in this category, I just had it sitting on his right shoulder. The spring works well though... a little too well. 

Because this is 84 Jazz, he doesn't do much posing. I remember them as blocky toys that, well, was Transformers back in the day and that was it. 

All that Jazz

Take your pic. I included United Stepper in this pic simply because he was the same mold as RTS and United Jazz (Meister). The United Jazz paint job is still amazing after all these years. I really disliked how Hasbro used a pre-yellow paint job on the RTS version though. 

Conclusion:

I'm going to leave it here. If anything, this was more of a comparison of the Jazz figures I owned. It was nice to see how this all started. 84 Jazz really looks impressive for his time and you can still see the influence he gave to his future self figures. Thank you Heath once again and I'll see you folks later. 

If you support mandates, you are garbage!
