Looks rather good from here. Now get those humans out of the way!
Hope we get pics of the figure soon. I may have to pick this up.

Never! Isami's a rational guy and Tobio's a fun ball of energy. They stay and that's that.

For a brief moment I thought Optimus was going to be a giant teddy bear.

Too bad what we do see of Optimus Prime is pretty much just typical Optimus Prime-ness.

Takara Tomy who is holding an exhibition to showcase upcoming 2014 product gives us our possible first glance at the upcoming Transformers Go! G26 Optimus EX Prime. The look comes not as a toy but art from a promotional poster for Transformers Go! Optimus is seen with Kenzan and Gekisomaru and the two main human allies from the cartoon. Thanks to 4Gamer.net for the image and thanks to Autobase Aichi for giving us a closer look.

Why the question mark in the title?

by **hinomars19** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 1:05 pm

OH, hello Takara, here's more of my money

*sigh* I loved TF: Prime, but I'm regretting buying the huge-ass 'Beast Hunter Optimus' a little bit. Not worthy of the show character at all. Sure GO! is a bit on the 'cheap kids anime side' but the toys and character designs just seem to be appealing more. I'm excited for this new toy...I kinda bought 'Prime' Optimus for the sake of it. :sad:

Still, that said, when we see this design in toy form it could suck. Though maybe not as much as AoE Prime currently looks. What we really need is toys like this but a story more like TF: Prime. Or at least anime that takes TF a bit more seriously.
I am a fan of what I have seen of GO! so far though
:HEADHURTS:

I think you mean exclamation point.

According to google translate, the figure is due January 2014, more or less.

We can't see much, but what we can see looks all right.

Nope. When LOST Cybertronian posted it to the Front Page as news there was a question mark at the end of the title. Obviously it's gone now.

Say, that train alt-mode of Prime looks like a futuristic Hearts of Steel Optimus Prime with a Japanese astetic look.

Well that didn't take long! Just this morning we got our first glimpse of Takara Tomy's upcoming Transformers Go! G26 Opimus EX Prime from a promotional store display, but it was only a peek at his animation model. Now thanks to a user on TinyPic we have our first look at the actual figure! The version of Optimus Prime sports three modes: robot, bullet train, and dragon - plus he has the ability to combine with G01 Kenzan and G05 Gekisomaru. Check him out below!

Here's another shot courtesy of Twitter user trafes20120505:

Robot mode Optimus looks pretty cool. Can't tell with the dragon mode at the moment from that pic. The gestalt forms look bad unfortunately.

Credit where credit is due.

Is that the dragon mode bellow the train?

Huh, it doesn't look that bad actually.

Looks rather kibbly. I'm not that interested at this time.

Inevitable Sentinel Prime redeco is inevitable.

Of course it won't be perfect but if we compare it to Beasthunter Optimus.........

Oh? Why do you say that? This looks nothing like a Sentinel Prime.

@fenrir72, yes, that's apparently his dragon mode below the train mode.

I'll be honest, not what I expected, but not terrible either. Definitely WANT.

Eh, just sorta looks like him to me. The way the swords are held is especially evocative of him.
