[Dead Metal]

There has been much talk of Reveal the Shield G2 Optimus Prime, which should be available soon, talk of its...
[list=]
[*]Incredible amount of articulation
[*]Good detail
[*]Its engineering
[*]The fact that it has a chest you can open to reveal a (non-removable) Matrix
[/list]

However there have been complaints;

[list=]
[*]Horrible colour scheme
[*]Not enough paint apps
[*]Horrible looking head
[*]Horrible looking hands
[*]Horrible feet
[*]No trailer
[*]No gun
[*]Flames (shall they burn in hell)
[/list]


Do you want this toy but feel like a few of the above mentioned flaws should be corrected then, well you might have your wish come true!
A post over at HK-TF.com's forum gives us a look at what might be an upcoming 3rd party product meant for "completing" G2 Optimus Prime. It's currently unknown which company will be producing this set
Or this is simply a fan-made render, so take this as you will.
For simplicity's sake we'll just pretend that this is in fact an upcoming product. What we can tell from the images the set comes with;
[list=]
[*]A new sword
[*]New feet
[*]New Head
[*]Possibly new hands (the position of them in the images makes it hard to tell if they are new or if it's just an optical illusion)
[*]Oh and a trailer which can turn into a battle station and combine with Optimus Prime
[/list]

The trailer looks pretty close to that of the original G2 Laser Optimus Prime figure, but the silhouettes of both modes do reveal a few differences.

We have mirrored all images, however you can click here and see the original post over at HK-TF.com.

Looks like I am going to have to get this. Third party or not. My wallet is already begging for mercy.

[kirbenvost]

Hmm, possibly interesting, if a little unnecessary. I'd personally wait until an RiD Scourge repaint.

[whacko]

I am all for adding a trailer to Optimus Prime toys!

Now lets hope it doesn't cost $100+ to do so.

i actually like the hands, & head, & sword, feet ok, paint job yes needed work i actulally liked other than fact it has no trailer.

i buy it if its avaliable at tfscource or bbts combined mode looks littel pointe less im sold

[Nemesis251]

If it comes in Scourge or Nemesis Prime's color, SOLD!
I think Hasbro will release the repaint as Nemesis Prime since we have the Scourge name being used already.

[El Duque]

Bought.

[Rodimus Minor]
