Transformers Prime Beast Hunter Optimus Prime

Product Information

In addition to the small engine-pistol of his Alternators figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the Kiss Players figures, Prime also comes with a PVC figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the Kiss Players radio drama, as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, " Someday, Beneath the Sun." 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. Included are modular solar panel and antenna accessories that can be pegged on various ports on the figure. A Matrix of Leadership can also be spotted molded into the drivers' compartment.

Just as the reissued Kup came with a reissue of Wheelie, this set also included a redeco of Wheelie as Orion's best friend, Dion.Hasbro reissued the "Original Autobot Leader" toy as part of their European Classics line of reissues in 1991; Hybrid Style Optimus Prime is an insanely detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer Shōji Kawamori. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a Transformers figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode. In August 2007 TakaraTomy yet again did a rerelease similar to the 2000 Convoy rerelease, this time as part of the " Transformers Encore" line. This version has a new rifle with a longer handle so Optimus can finally hold it straight. None of the toy's motorized joints are capable of supporting substantial weight without electricity. This means that when powered off, the robot cannot stand upright without external support. If the toy is in robot mode and senses its batteries are getting low, then to prevent a damaging fall, it will automatically shift into a droopy squatting pose that it can safely sustain while powered off. The average operating time from a full battery charge is approximately 40 minutes. The charging port is not accessible while the robot is standing up. Plugging in the charger while the toy is powered on might endanger fragile components. As predicted. What's the chances of a new BAPE color scheme? Teal Blue or Burnt Gold would be nice if you're reading this, BAPE.

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! Accessories: carrying case, laser rifle, energy axe, non-removable exhaust pipes, wall charger, micro USB to USB 2.0 cable

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. To round things out, an Ultimate Collector's Series-styled display plaque featuring Optimus Prime's name (in both English and Ancient Autobot), function, motto, and Tech Specs is included. Hasbro released a redecoed version with additional accessories as part of their Generation 2 line in 1993; 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.) 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.

This figure was redecoed into INFOBAR Optimus Prime (ANNIN) (below) and slightly retooled with new heads and redecoed into INFOBAR Megatron (BUILDING) and INFOBAR Bumblebee (ICHIMATSU). Shouldn't be hard for him to fit in with the Decepticons... There's like, two other "evil Optimus Prime" guys in their ranks. 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..

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. Nigh-infinite configuration possibilities, and somehow a WORSE base mode than pretty much every other Optimus's trailer-bases. Wow. In robot mode, Optimus' default idle behavior is not to stand perfectly still. Instead, he will slowly "breathe" with a subtle inhaling/exhaling motion like a human would have after aerobic exercise. From there, he will occasionally shift into other statuesque poses. Produced in collaboration with Japanese space agency JAXA and Toyota, Lunar Cruiser Prime is a roughly MP-10 sized figure that transforms into the as-of-2023 current version of Toyata's "Lunar Cruiser" concept for an enclosed lunar rover, in part to promote TakaraTomy's own unmanned "SORA-Q" rover, slated to deploy on the moon in an August 2023 JAXA mission. 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.

Part of the first (and only) wave of larger electronic Hero Mashers Transformers toys, the base Optimus Prime figure in this set is almost identical to the above "Battle Upgrade" toy; this version has a closed right fist that can hold accessories rather than the Battle Upgrade version's finger-pointy one.This figure, with the included intakes and alternate head in place, also doubles as Starscream from " Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1".
