TFCC Magazine #49 "More Than Meets The Eye" Hero Optimus Prime Bio

Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
The official Transformers Collectors' Club has posted the bio for "Hero" Optimus Prime from the upcoming issue of their club magazine issue #49. Check out his "More Than Meets The Eye" bio below. This issue will also launch their new "Beast Wars Shattered Glass" story featuring Ultra Mammoth and crew.

In his home universe, "Hero" Optimus Prime was the sworn protector of Earth and its super energy source, forestonite. Along with fellow Autobots Electro and Volt, and the human boy Junpei, the Autobot Leader was able to repel Megatron and the Decepticons' attack. Although Megatron promised he would return to conquer not just the Earth but the entirety of the Milky Way galaxy, Prime stood vigilant, ready to thwart him at every turn!

Following the theft of the Rarefied Energon from the Classics Universe, chaos spread and soon found its way across the multiverse, threatening existence everywhere. Optimus Prime was selected by certain members of TransTech to leave his universe and travel to Axiom Nexus to be inducted into the newly formed group known as The Convoy - a collective of high-ranking Autobots from across the multiverse.

Well played, FunPub...

Loving that artwork. But isn't Hero Optimus supposed to be Generation 1 rebuilt in the original Generation 2 line back in the late 80's/early 90's?

Looks like someone parted out Botcon Thunderclash's legs and put them on a G1 prime. >:oP

REALLY mixed feelings about this one: Nerfmaster Optimus was the first new (to the states) mold in G2 that I decided to never bother with...but it was also (sort of) the last Optimus body we see in the awesome G2 comic (canonize Alignment already!) so I do have a softer spot for this design that any other toy I have no intention of ever owning.

Cool as the pic is, I do sort of agree with X that the artist's unflattening of the chest somehow makes it look like an Optimus who put on the wrong trousers just before his tour of the multiverse; yes, it's an improvement, as was Senior's redesign, but that is the weird effect. Still, I'm sure he'll be a credit to the council.

That art is awesome! =P~ I was just fiddling with Hero Optimus the other day whilst shuffling around my (small and cramped) G2 autobots display. :lol: Such a great mold!

But you actually pose an interesting question there, inadvertintly. Is FunPub gonna cannonize the Hero Prime repaint from HTS, or are we to expect now a Botcon release of the Rodimus (thunderclash's) mold of him, because the similarites are really not far off...

Only similarities I see are the legs and a teenee little bit of the truck. Other than that, Energon Rodimus as Hero Prime wouldn't look real good...
