Thanks to the TransFans Facebook page, we have our first look at the alt mode of the recently leaked Cybertron/Galaxy Force Optimus Prime! No, the image is not blurred out or smothered in purple, so we get a good look at the impressive, heavy-duty firetruck mode this Prime sports.
No further release info is known at the time, but be sure to check out the image in full after the jump, and if you missed it, check out his robot mode here!
I'M SO HAPPY THAT I FINALLY FOUND ONE IN THE WILD, BUT ANGRY THAT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER WORK!
Fan photos of him keep pushing me to want to get him too. I'm also going through Siege withdrawals since I'm caught up and waiting for wave 3!
For real. This is the first line i think I've ever wanted to complete. No real misses in the line.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, that is one good-looking figure. Definitely picking him up when I see him.
Completely surprised to see this figure. Luckily, my son wanted the big Cyberverse Megatron to go with his Optimus Prime, so I brought this guy home for me.
That… THAT LOOKS SO BADASS!!
Congrats on finding it in the wild, too!
Wow. My Walmart doesn’t even have a spot for leaders anymore.
Same for both of my local Walmarts. It truly and honestly breaks my heart.
It could have been worse. Both of you could have been fighting over the same Optimus and gotten into a 5-minute thumb war over it,only to watch as someone else snatched it up and walked away when both of you were distracted.
Ugh! That only happened once. You're never gonna let me live that down, are you?
As much as I love Siege I don’t think this was supposed to be fan loved remake and more of an “easy and inexpensive retool.” If that was Hasbro’s goal, then they hit a home run. Besides, why get an identical figure?
I mean Siege Magnus was G1 Magnus with bits of RID on it. Siege Prime is G1 Prime with bits of Cybertron.
Did Hasbro fully satisfy fans with this figure? Probably not. But they weren’t trying. They just wanted an easy retool and a leader class Prime. Mission accomplished.
*sigh* -_- What my original post was ALL about? I don't care about the original toy or the current one. I'm talking cutting corners on something as simple as the instructions. All they had to do was look at the original to get something as simple as the belt transformation corrected in the paperwork. Now imagine where else they cut corners. I promise, that's all my post was about.
I can see what you mean here, but I understand my wording wasn't quite as clear as I had intended. The old toy is readily available, especially in toy form and pictures. All they had to do is see which way was what on him and do their best to replicate it on this toy. Because of missing something that simple, it's no wonder they can't get their instruction game to be better. Call it laziness, cutting corners, what have you, but they have a wealth of resources at their disposal and still somehow miss the mark, especially when it comes to instructions.
As someone who works in a large corporation, I can assure you it can be terribly frustrating at times when you see someone else screw up something you worked on (or just personally care about), and seeing it get fixed isn't part of your job.
I kinda doubt anyone who was with Hasbro by the time G1 or even Cybertron aired is still working on Transformers today.
