Optimus Prime in Matrix

SDCC 2011 Transformers Prime First Edition Optimus Prime comes! This TF Prime OP is really sweet. The Matrix package is awesome! It is also the first TF Prime toy that I can get months before the release of the main line. A must have, isn't it? Lets have a look of this fusion of Animated and Movie Optimus Prime.

An awesome package for an event exclusive





Can you see the belt? You can even wear the Matrix!

This is a magnet plate




I think everyone loves this Matrix inner package




Truck mode








Robot mode!?






Can carry the gun with both hands, nice!








I didn't take out my deluxe DOTM Optimus Prime yet. Just a few comparison shot with deluxe G2 Prime.

A few comments on this figure. It has quite a lot of articulations as a deluxe figure. Can make some great poses. The design of shoulders is a bit strange. If you are a TF collector, no excuse to skip this nice collectible. But if you just want to enjoy playing the figure, better wait for the regular release, which should be way cheaper.

Rescue Bots Optimus Prime

I can't imagine why these Rescue Bots are so expensive in Hong Kong. Together with the human partner, they cost me HK$229.8 (~USD30!), about double the price in US! Though they are expensive, it is difficult to resist an Optimus Prime, right? Lets have a look on this infant toy (Hasbro's definition).

The package is really infant toy style.




Truck mode




Chief Charlie Burns & Rescue Cutter



So what's a rescue cutter??

Charlie Burns and Optimus Prime


Optimus Prime Rollout!




2 Charlie Burns!?


Optimus Prime robot mode




Optimus Prime with the super cutter



Rescue Bots OP is about the same size as Classics OP...

For me, the Rescue Bots OP is just a collectible. Unless you are a 3 years old kid, you will have no fun with Rescue Bots figures. Do you still remember other PlaySkool Go-Bots? Here's my only Go-Bots Mirage I got it a few years ago. Where is it now?

Darkside Megatron and Darkside Optimus Prime

Black Optimus Prime is always irresistible while black Megatron usually not. However, this time Darkside Megatron is even more attractive than Darkside Optimus Prime. The price of this limited edition box set is even cheaper than the regular ones. No excuse to skip them!

I don't know why I love this monochrome package. Maybe it means exclusive?






Optimus Prime Truck mode







I love the black and cyan color scheme of all black Optimus Prime.

Megatron Tank mode








Robot mode





Darkside OP is a Decepticon is much better than an Autobot black OP.

Darkside Megatron and Optimus Prime are nice figures, but they are still repaints. It is not that fun to play the same mold again and again. I can't blame anyone because I still have tons of new mold figures kept MISB/MOSC! >_<
