Transformers Prime Beast Hunter Optimus Prime

Product Information

Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed Transformers products, Sports Label Convoy transforms into a shoe. Something of a shellformer, this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In robot mode, he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself! Rumor about the Classics lineup that turned out to be spot on aside from Voyager Soundwave and Deluxe Optimus Prime. Alternators Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his robot mode body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

Shouldn't be hard for him to fit in with the Decepticons... There's like, two other "evil Optimus Prime" guys in their ranks. All this for the low, low price of an arm, a leg, and your firstborn son! (Note: Basketball accessory not included.) Accessories: laser rifle, Micro Trailer, Microcarrier, small cannon, cannon turret stand, radar, connector, 2 ramps Both his Matrix and small camera accessory can be pegged into his palms. His hands feature a range of movement, with the thumb and index finger being articulated and the remaining fingers joined together. A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see below). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there. For the mainland Europe Milton Bradley release, there were two variants of Optimus Prime available: the first version, manufactured by Takara, sported blue feet like most other versions; the second version, manufactured by Joustra's parent company Ceji, sported red feet instead. [1] On top of that, the Italian release of "Commander" by GiG eventually featured a later variant that replaced the rubber tires and die-cast feet with plastic parts, similar to the US KB Toys variant of Ultra Magnus. This version of the mold was planned to be redecoed into Menasor for the Universe line, but the release was canceled. Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four Cityville-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

Remember that scene from the movie that made you cry and traumatised you as a kid? Well now you can display me doing just that!This mold was also used, with different heads and accessories, to make the other Transformers GT toys: GT-R Saber, GT-R Megatron, and GT-R Maximus. As a Titanium figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the Titanium line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. For that reason, the tiny insufficient clips that hold his shoulders in place are highly prone to breaking off, leaving his shoulders floppy and unable to be secured in robot mode. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate. Hasbro released a redecoed version with additional accessories as part of their Generation 2 line in 1993; Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie and its release on DVD by Sony, this edition of Prime is a redeco of his 20th Anniversary figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

This set, like the one above, was only available in the US through closeout chains like Ross and TJ Maxx in 2015. This mold was also used to make the less ambiguous Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat, the separate individual Convobat, Onyx Primal as well as inspire the comic character Nyx. This uniquely branded Anti-Gravity Pedestal Tenseg Base release of Optimus Prime is a redeco of Kingdom Ultra Magnus's inner robot. Optimus Prime comes with a silver "Tenseg Base" which he can attach to, simulating a "floating" pose. Optimus Prime retains Siege/ Kingdom Ultra Magnus's blaster accessory, colored in a darker metallic gray in a possible attempt to emulate Prime's usual ion blaster.Takara reissued the toy once again in 2003, as part of their The Transformers Collection line of reissues, numbered 00 and featuring additional accessories such as an energon axe; The featured image on this news post is used only as a reference. Some rumors mentioned this figure would be a retool of Earthrise Optimus Prime. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates and the official reveal. Read all the official product description after the break and sound off on the 2005 Board! The sculpt was later redecoed again for the third wave of Go-Bots to become Sideswipe, and later still into the 2001 Robots in Disguise Spychanger R.E.V..

In a happy accident of cross-compatibility, Tenseg Base Optimus Prime can be equipped with the armor and alternate head included with Shattered Glass Collection Ultra Magnus to replicate the red cab variant of Diaclone Powered Convoy released in GiG's short-lived Trasformer [ sic] toyline, minus Super Buggy.The Japanese release of the figure also underwent the accessory changes, but never featured a silver Roller. Instead, Takara's original release of Prime featured a Diaclone-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version. Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue. The Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy was featured in a print ad for Nokia 6820 phones in December 2004. [23] He is posed bent over to look at the phone and scratching his head. Pleasantly, most of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un- kitbashed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy. (The real toy can't bend forward at the waist like that, alas.) We confirmed the listing of this new crossover figure just a few days ago (together with Universal Monsters x Transformers Draculus). While we still don’t have any images of the figure itself, the description gives us several interesting hints about it:
