Takara Tomy CNY Exclusive Transformers Prime Arms Micron Optimus Prime & Unicron Bios

Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
Ever since we discovered that Takara Tomy's Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-19 Gaia Unicron had the ability to combine with both Voyager Megatron and Optimus Prime, fans were left wondering why on Earth (or Cybertron) would the Chaos Bringer merge with the leader of the Autobots? Megatron, maybe, but Optimus Prime? Well thanks to the bios featured on Takara Tomy's CNY Exclusive Transformers Prime Arms Micron Optimus Prime and Gaia Unicron set we have our answer!

In a nutshell, the dimension hopping Leo Prime used the remains of Unicron's defeated avatar to forge the Gaia Armor. See the bios courtesy of the Allspark mirrored below:

Image


Optimus Prime:
The noble leader Optimus Prime began his days as Orion Pax, a mere data clerk in the Iacon Hall of Records. It was his meeting with the gladiator Megatron that would greatly change his destiny, the first step on the path to being bestowed with the Matrix and recognized as a great leader. Adopting the motto “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings,” Optimus Prime’s battle with Megatron now continues on Earth. He fights to protect the people of Earth while uncovering the mysteries of the planet.

Gaia Unicon:
Legend has it that in days long past, the Chaos God Unicron was sealed away by the first 13 Transformers. As he threatens to awaken, the Earth lies on the verge of chaos and destruction. Iacon records claim that on a world in a distant dimension, civilization was driven to extinction when it attempted to harness Unicron’s energy. Now Earth risks the same dire fate. The mighty avatar Gaia Unicron, born from Dark Energon, is the first harbinger of the chaos bringer’s revival.

Gaia Armor:
Optimus Prime and his Autobots faced impossible odds, yet succeeded in defeating Gaia Unicron, the earthly avatar of the chaos lord Unicron. From its remains, the macrocosmic guardian Leo Prime used his ancient sword to forge the Gaia Armor. Although the purifying power of an Energon Matrix severed the Gaia Armor from Unicron’s control, it still resonates with the forbidden might of Dark Energon, granting its wearer unspeakable power. Should Optimus Prime choose to don the armor, he must heed Leo Prime’s warning and treat it with great caution: constant vigilance is required to control the armor without being corrupted by its power. Were the Gaia Armor to fall into the hands of the Decepticon tyrant Megatron, the consequences would surely mean destruction for the already outnumbered Autobots. Whether to be used for good or evil, the Gaia Armor brings a new dimension to the battles of Team Prime.

If a human did that he'd be arrested and either sent to an insane asylum or an electric chair depending on the country/state of arrest.

Better question - will Optimus Prime ever be able to fight anybody without a power up? He's starting to have the same schtick as Mario.

He's not wearing Unicron himself, Unicron has no corporeal form. He's wering one of Unicron's avatars.

In other words, he's wearing armor made out of rock-and-earth and Dark Energon.

Well he was supposed to have his trailer armor in a new season of Animated until they canned it..

It's pretty funny considering that it was UltraMagnus who started the whole power armor thing, and then Masterforce happened and suddenly all Optimus must have some sort of addon in the end.

Yeah, but that, like his Wingblade armor, wasn't a combination with somebody else, which is why I was saying. ;)

Technically, it was originally due to the Powered Convoy figure of Diaclone being an upgraded version of Battle Convoy, so had the Transformers followed in suit, Ultra Magnus's toy might have been an upgraded Optimus. :lol:

Apex Bomber was introduced with the Powermaster Optimus Prime reissue, which was based on God Ginrai: the original never had that, so the Marvel comics Prime didn't combine with anyone. And Ginrai is no Optimus Prime despite the appearance, though admittedly the (horrible) StarTV dub of Masterforce may say otherwise.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

1. You edited my post to make this point.
2. Ginrai is not Optimus/Convoy.
3. Like JelZe said, Apex Bomber didn't come about until the early-2000s and is a toy-only character without any fiction, therefore Marvel G1 Optimus never combined with anyone.

And Ginrai is no Optimus Prime despite the appearance, though admittedly the (horrible) StarTV dub of Masterforce may say otherwise.

Actually, Optimus Prime during the 1980s Marvel Comics series had Optimus Prime combine with a Nebulan named Hi-Q. And it was not until another of Optimus Prime's many deaths was Hi-Q convinced that he was Optimus Prime (which was an aftereffect that is tied to a side-effect of being a Powermaster). Plus, there are the animated commercials sporting a Powermaster Optimus Prime. Which means that there is a "animated" version of Prime that combines with another being.

So nyah on him not having some kind of Generation 1 combination! ;)

True. But we meant him combining with specifically another Transformer (or "Bot" as I wrote in my original post), whereas Hi-Q is an carbon-based lifeform. ;)

And, I originally wrote "U.S. G1 cartoon Optimus Prime", which XDMan twisted into just "G1 Optimus Prime", which is more broad than the example I gave. Why he did that, I don't know.

Damn, I never thought about it that way, but Optimus's multiversal counterparts are indeed becoming akin to the many fictional movie counterparts or Ed Gein. And here I carved my last Jack-o-lantern into the likeness of Wheezel because he LOOKED like a TF version of Leatherface!

For that matter, it's also like the WWFF story "Beast Wars: CorpseMasters" working it's way into canon, just like Shattered Glass!

Mentioned the animated commercials when I responded to Jelze. Plus, there was the puppet for the "season 5" bit that I would have watched if I cared about the series by then. But yeah... If it is robot-on-robot action you want, then you caught me on a technicality. ;)

Damnit, Hasbro, why didn't you put him in the comics back then!? :-x

And actually, I knew Ginrai isn't Prime, so I later wondered this:

"Why did I post about Ginrai in the first place??? :???: "

But yes, Ginrai taking the name of Optimus Prime is rather mysterious in the horrible dub. ;)

Not to mention, Shattered Glass Prime doesn't even combine with anyone

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
The reason Marvel didn't put Apex Bomber in their comics is a simple one: they never heard of it :lol: Godbomber was a later, Japan-only addition to the mold, emphasis on later. When Powermaster Prime was release in the US, Godbomber was still in development for release in Japan: several catalogs showed the prototypes, which looked very different from the final toy.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)
