He's......awesome.


ToyWorld TW-02 "ORION" (Aka IDW Optimus Prime) - YouTube

 

I love the transformation! Can't wait to get mine!  

- Gregg

 

Very cool transformation (the legs are really clever, put MP-10's to shame, and the lower torso is so simple yet ingenious to get the faux grill look), but I think I'll have to fix the looseness of some of the parts (fists, skirt panels and middle chest panel). Th

 

I like him a lot.
and since I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, that's saying something.

good quality review, as always.

 

Have to agree with this here 

Funny, when I first saw this guy, I wasn't interested at all, but Orion looks much better than I originally thought 

The abdomen transformation is just awesome, as are those legs!

I don't care for the head or the red, but he is a nice looking prime.

Does the IDW Prime not have smoke stacks?

 

I don't think he's supposed to have any. The Cyberverse version doesn't, that's for sure.

 

He doesn't, I have a picture of him in the intro. No Stacks, just bulkier shoulders.

Glad you guys like the review, I didn't want it to be so long but as you can see, there's a lot to cover with him. He looks amazing in hand, I was on the fence too until I started seeing the final shots from TW. Then when I got him in hand, I was smitten.

 

Nice review. I was so impressed with the transformation that I pre-ordered him.

There are a lot of things that I like to see here in a Transformer. Pegs, nice tight modes due to lots of locking pegs.

Despise lack of ball jointed neck (but maybe this can be remedied).

Do the elbows only bend at 90 degrees? (MP-10 has this limitation, but a lot of other recent bots are showing more and more double jointed elbows)

 

Given the bulk of his armor on his arm, he's limited only to a solid 90 unfortunately.

 

No biggie. Thanks for the quick reply.

You seem a bit nervous during the review. Relax! Its your show.

 

Nice review! glad to see more of him.

 

Is Robotkingdom the only site carrying this guy? And here they are... with no available website right now.  

 

*Sigh*...okay, not to be a jerk-wad, but if you would have watched the first 40 seconds of the video it says where I got him from.

That being said, he's sold out most places already.

Check the description in my video for the link to Agabyss.

 

I dig the video, and I like how they way you describe the transformation and very clear in your description.

Subscribed!

 

Agabyss has a very strange website. Check out this pre-order:

http://www.agabyss.com/product.php?productid=17531&cat=250&page=1

I could find no Orion or TW-02 anywhere on their website, or their ebay site: Beast Wars, Energon items in The Agabyss Action Figures store on eBay!

They had it on eBay. Sold out. Transformers Toyworld Classics TW 02 Orion Optimus Prime in Stock in USA Now | eBay

Always check the completed listings.

 

Was only commenting on current stock, of which there is none. You have to perform a separate eBay search to find completed auctions. Since the op only directed us to the eBay store from the YouTube "details" section, one should hope to find the item there. Otherwise we would have been better off saying seach for the seller name with eBay search.

Their website doesn't even have a listing for it.

 

I believe that's the old site, and he's in the process creating a whole new one. The link I had was for his ebay Store not the Website, and if it's not listed then he's already sold out.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

Great review Aptkane! Thanks for the detail and straightforward, honest presentation.

 

You bet. It's a great figure and I'm very happy with it!
