Cybergeeks Alliance has reported that Asian toy retailers have received solicitations for Transformers Platinum Edition sets from Hasbro. Up first? Year of the Goat Optimus Prime is a translucent redeco of the Generation 2 Laser Optimus Prime mold, you may also know the mold as Car Robots/Robots In Disguise Black Convoy/Scourge. Not to be outdone, Year of the Goat Soundwave comes along and brings the awesome as a clear redeco of the Masterpiece Soundwave with the following cassettes: Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw.

Both exclusives are done mostly in translucent, uncolored plastic, with black, pink and red strewn about, along with strategically placed metallic burnt orange paint apps.

The brown clashes with the translucent plastic ... yet I'm still likely to get Prime.

But again, another Chinese year ... another missed opportunity ... this time Ramulus.

Hmmm, interesting, but that gold and clear plastic probably means they won't last long.

Bummer... no credit for me (sent a 'submit news' message a couple hours ago). Guess Cybergeeks Alliance got there first.

I think MP Soundwave in particular looks great. I think those cassettes are going to be the highlight of my shelf once I get my hands on them.

Once PE G2 prime hits BBTS I might have to see how much it is it looks great

Might snag that Optimus Prime just for teh lulz. Always kinda wanted a version of this guy.

I think I'd rather have a blue Soundwave than this dude. Maybe if they knock some off the price, but as it stands, I'm good.

It's pretty obvious now Hasbro Asia has no intention on using BW molds, at all. Just a big version of Optimus Prime and a complimenting release. Thinking about it now, next year, Optimal Optimus or bust (though he's an ape, not a monkey)!

I am quite surprised (yet not) they've pulled out one of the best vintage molds out there for Optimus this year. Given I already own two of him (Black Convoy and the G2 Laser reissue) I'll be skipping him. Do keep in mind the discs will be blank and the sword blunted.

Completely agree... Brown and Translucent clashes pretty bad here... The Translucent is still pretty nice, which makes me wonder about painting the brown to be more formal colors of their G1 ages...

Not a fan of this Optimus Prime mold... Soundwave I picked up his recent Master Piece edition so this I think is going to be a definite skip for me... First time in awhile that I will skip these Chinese Year editions... First for everything I suppose.

Gold plastic, clear plastic, and chrome... What a lasting combination. :P

Not something I would rush to buy, but I do kind of like them! If I didn't have MP Soundwave, I would certainly consider him in this form. As for Prime, I've owned that mold a couple times now, and while I now only have a (really beaten) Scourge figure with just the cab, I think the price will prevent me from grabbing this. Not nearly as good as last year's Year of the Horse Prime (which I own), but still pretty cool.

Oh, and I love that box art!

Another prime to buy and have no where to go...

These are weird, but I kinda like the OP. The Soundwave is an easy pass, but I'm kinda diggin Optimus.

Yea, these are not for me.

If they were all translucent, then I might be interested but as it is, easy pass.

Soundwave is so-so. The cassettes sell it.

Clear PRIME OF JUSTICE looks really fun. Always nice to add to the G2 shelf.

Can someone tell me the appeal of translucent figures? You can't even see the details clearly...

Comment by paul053 Oct 17, 2014
Why transparent plastic? :-( I would much prefer some other color scheme but transparent plastic.
