The ab crunch can be done by pressing the grill part of the truck and there is an extra step on the legs that you need to pull them apart alittle or shift the thigh part so that the legs are not too close to each other.

Great review Patriot Prime! I think it’s worth mentioning that this release (C-02) is the ‘Anime Edition’ (written in small Japanese text next to the name bar) and it features the blue tinted windows and blue eyes. The Missing Link C-01 Optimus Prime, with trailer, is the actual OG G1 toy colored version, featuring orange tinted windows and yellow eyes, and a few deco differences if I remember. That’s the one I’m getting; I’ve seriously been waiting 20 years for articulated G1 figures, this is a dream come true since I started getting into collecting TFs as an 24 yrs old adult back in 2003! I actually still have old drawings I did of sketches exploring customizing ideas for creating articulations on some of my old G1 figures, which I didn’t do as I have no background in figure customization.

Most people skip the instructions miss the articulation. The abs do crunch and the legs must be separated at the hips to give the right proportions, unlike the vintage. Also Dianauts can still be seated in his chest if you remove the Matrix chamber. Toes also tilt up one step too, as well as down and side to side.

This one sent Patriot Prime back in time! It's like watching a kid on Christmas morning

I ordered both versions of this guy. I received C0-2 the other day. As soon as I opened the box I was feeling the nostalgia. He does have limited ab crunch and also his legs are on sliders at the hips. You can separate his legs apart a bit. Love this figure. Can't wait to get the version with the trailer.

12:08 PPR - "I know if I miss something you guys will definitely let me know in the comments."
Comment section follows through.

The ab-crunch is super tight on mine too.
But it’s such a wonderful toy regardless. I love him so

[j.b.]

SOLD!!!!
I'm ordering one now.
You sounded like you were a kid again throughout the whole video. 😅

[MDestron]

I didn't get the one with the trailer for the same reason. I like it but I don't have anywhere for that trailer to go. This figure should be in my hands by the end of the week and I'm very excited for it! Great review as always, Patriot.

[GCJACK]

the ab crunch is very well hidden. Very easy to miss. The whole figure is bendier than good ol' Bendy Prime himself.

[GhostPrimeReviews]

Great Video! I had to get both. I couldn't resist. One is on my desk, they other in my collection room. They managed to re-create that feeling you got as a kid when playing with the figure for the first time, and Its so familiar, yet new.

[zetaTF]

Crazy it took them this long to make something like this. Hopefully, we get more down the line!

[davewire]

I just got my shipping notice email. I’m so excited!

[saysoun]

I gave my original Optimus Prime to a friend of mine just so I'd have an excuse to buy the new Missing Link Optimus Prime. He was wanting one but they were so expensive when new or in great condition. Mine was basically brand new looking at it stayed in the box and so far, my new Prime are both still in the box.

[Jonnybravo-]

Great review, as always. Im even more excited for my C-O1 Optimus to arrive. It seems Takara- Tomy has done the impossible with these Missing Link Primes, Improve on an already perfect toy.

[RazyelKayneReviews]

I haven't seen you this excited for a figure since...ever! It was a pleasure to see you geek out like a kid, great review!

[the_rocs_roost]

Cool! Mine's somewhere between BBTS and here. I went with the trailer option. I gave my G1 prime to my little cousin back in the late 90s, and I've been without ever since. I'd been wanting to pick one up, and then this fella was announced. How serendipitous! Another cool video, sir!

[mariodinobot]

Hey patriot, just got mine yesterday, and I absolutely love it.

[shady_the_one]

Not a G1 kid, I grew up with the Unicron Trilogy and thought I had it good. Nah. You guys had the slightly cooler toys (😉). All the articulation in the world can't beat rubber tires, chrome trim and rims, real seats for accurately scaled figures, and metal parts. I still give due respect: without G1, nothing else exists. An obvious fact, but an important one, nonetheless.

That said, I love this. I wasn't even alive for G1 OR the Beast Era, so this is likely the closest I'm gonna get to that. My uncle, who was around when the original Optimus Prime was released, will no doubt appreciate the Toy Version, with a trailer. But the anime version is mine, because honestly, yes. Toy Optimus is cool and all, but I actually saw the 86 movie when I was seven, in 2006, so I'm not lost on G1. And honestly, I just remembered thinking that G1 Optimus was so much cooler than Cybertron Optimus, cause Cybertron Optimus could never beat Cybertron Megatron/Galvatron straight up, and G1 Optimus beat G1 Megatron straight up, even if it was at the cost of his own life.

[xhairstargetmaster]

This is what we should have got as kids lol it’s cool they did this but I’m more in to the modern bots I have maybe 2 G1 TF bots!

I’m happy for all the G1 toy guys like you bro who still loves the G1 toys as much as the new toys!
