Remember the Supreme Class Optimus Maximus news that came out of the UK Toy Fair a few days ago? Courtesy of twitter an image of the figure has been revealed. The figure appears to be based Optimus Prime (not a shocker it's called Optimus Maximus after all) and according to the previous news transforms into a base with electronic features for use with Cyberverse figures.
Optimus Maximus - bases make a return to the line with Maximus, a large scale Cyberverse Playset which doubles a fully transforming figure and base for your Cyberverse figures. Featuring light and sound features, firing rockets and launching vehicle this guy was fairly imposing standing somewhere in between Ultimate Op and a regular Leader Class figure. It looked quite bare without any Cyberverse figures locked in but you could see the gun turrets just waiting to be armed by you min faves.

That looks impressive. I hope it actually makes it's way to stores.

I think I may get this just to have it "operated" by the various Legends/Cyberverse/Stratosphere accessory Optimus Primes.

I'm curios? When and why is Optimus a city former?

I don't care. We're getting (hopefully) a cityformer. Frick yeah!
Truthfully, since Hasbro is probably trying to test the waters with a Cityformer and is playing the "Everyone likes Optimus Prime, so we'll make an Optimus Prime City Former" card to pad the resume.
All in favor of repaints, or calling this guy Star Convoy, say I.

I'd much rather someone do one in Fort Max colours. My ultimate fantasy would be complete.

That's what I'd like to know. His proportions remind me of BW Optimal Optimus; he does look cool though.

Interesting. I wonder if this hints at an upgraded form of Prime or if this is just something unique to Cyberverse. I'm personally not interested but it does look pretty cool for what it is.

A remold/repaint into an actual citi-former, and I'll care.
Though if it looks decent, I may do the repainting myself

I hope the transformation is as impressive as Trypticon - he spreads out so much in base mode. If he does that and has good articulation I'll bite.

My thoughts exactly. I had all the of the exo-suits growing up, but never had the base they all locked into... Might still be at my parent's place somewhere. Ah, memories.
Back to the topic at hand, it looks like it could be a neat display piece, but definitely would like some clearer pictures.

"Courageous" redux? Hasbro does own the Gobots franchise too right? Anyway, I hope they put up more decent pics or even a Tomy version then I'll bite.

the alt modes will have to be some fancy pants superawesomesauce for me to get past the robot mode, at least from what it looks like now. I'm not excited to see Optimus Prime as a base for himself and his mates. So the precise reason for him being OP is to make him more appealing, only that's working the opposite way for me. Sigh.
Still even if I end up passing on this, I hope there's plenty of people who do, and that he's a good toy. Good sales could encourage more like this.

Hey, they don't repaint every Optimus into Ultra Magnus...they just don't like making a Magnus that wasn't Prime first
