Japanese toy blogger Alfes 2010 has uploaded a gallery of Takara's Transformers DSM DA-28 Striker Optimus Prime. This figure is a repaint/retool of ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime featuring new armor and weapons to give Prime his Stealth Force look. We've mirrored a few of his images below, click here for the full gallery.

Note: The Jetwing components are not included with Striker Optimus Prime.

Okay, so let me get this straight:

For the ROTF retools, Japan gets Buster Prime w/ transforming gun and chrome, we get Battle Hooks Prime with sucky battle damage.

Now, Japan gets BADASS DEATH RACE FORM W/ HUGE ASS CHAINGUNS OF DOOM Prime, and we get... a smaller Optimus Prime with the butterfly trailerpack super armor that falls apart far too easily and has only decent articulation?

God DAMNIT. Japan is like the only country where getting more Optimus Prime toys is actually AWESOME.

I have had this on pre-order, and can't wait to get this one in hand myself.

As for last reply, yes Japan in general gets all the coolest toys...

Anyone got any info or any other pics/angles on the Battle Blade on the last picture?

You know, at first I thought I was going to like the dark colored plastic. But after seeing it... it looks even cheaper then the light gray plastic.

Other then the gun and having a leader prime with the DOTM abs, I'm not really seeing anything here I want to spend that much on.

After seeing these pictures, I canceled my Pre-order, Dark grey looks really cheap, and over all, not thrilled about paying an extra 70$ for just a gun and shield. Also Not paying 60$ for the Blades that are freebies over there. This " Hobby" is getting exhaustive.

I hope Hasbro brings one of these versions to our shore, but if they don't, then I'm fine with my custom primes. Hasbro has already proven that the best stuff stays in Japan, so I'm gonna go ahead and guess I won't be getting a DOTM leader prime figure, which IMO.

Is the only time I WANTED another leader Optimus.
Instead we have over-sized loose arms BB, Clunky Arms Iron Hide, and Undersized Grumpy faced Sentinel.
