Site sponsor Robotkingdom has posted in-package images of Takara Tomy's upcoming Cybertron Satellite Exclusive Dark Guard Optimus Prime. The figure is a black and gold redeco of the popular Transformers Prime First Edition Voyager Optimus Prime mold. Check out the images mirrored below.

To save his comrades who are infected with Dark Energon, Optimus Prime had his body covered with Energon Defense Coating. This black coating is an alloy Ratchet created by analyzing and converting MECH's equipment, and is capable of shielding Transformers from Dark Energon or any biological weapons such as a virus. Optimus' mobility is reduced due to the added weight, but this is the only form he can guard himself from Dark Energon

Nice repaint, for those who dont mind paying the expected and obvious outrageous price.

The things IMO that kept this fig from being absolutely perfect is the paint used for the chest/windows and the blue for the blade...other than that it's a win and I will possess. :VEHI:

I think if they used a different color for the gold this would look a hell of alot better. :MAXIMAL:

This thing makes a better Nemesis Prime than Takara's Nemesis Prime.

2- Hasbro First Edition

Image

I am sure that down the line, I will regret not getting this. The color scheme looks great, the background to the character is very well thought out, but I just cannot get past the packaging.

But all is good if/when they make a "Dark Energon" version of Arcee (preferably an Arms Micron version, that is). :PRAY:
