In-Hand Images of Takara's CH-01 Chronicle Optimus Prime Set

Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
HK-TF member lowbcousin has posted some in-hand images of Takara's CH-01 Chronicle Optimus Prime two-pack featuring a reissue of G1 Optimus Prime, Deluxe DOTM Optimus Prime, and shared trailer. Images mirrored below.

Image

It appears the Chronicle Deluxe DOTM Optimus Prime comes with a recolored version of the MechTech weapon that came with Deluxe DOTM Jolt.

Image

We also see the reissue G1 figure compared to the Music Label Optimus Prime that came out a couple of years ago.

Image

The trailer departs from the traditional split down the middle transformation and opens in a manner closer the third-party trailer produced by BTS.

Image

Image

The set also appears to come with an insert depicting the various iterations of Optimus Prime over the years as well as a few other Autobot commanders.

Unlikely. The trailer is just a plastic box, and as such has no play value for the kids.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

Just looking at the third pic down, which one is the G1 Chronicles Prime? I don't have the Music Label version. Is the Chronicles one on the right, with the blue windows and (looks like) remolded head?

Dammit, that G1 Prime looks nice! I don't want to have to get THIS as well....

Thanks for that - looking at the darker red and blue, along with the blue windows, I thought it actually fitted in better with the Movie aesthetic - to me, it looks like a better 'fit' with the DOTM colour scheme - even the Prime on the Chronicles box has blue windows...

Ah, what do I know.... #-o

Yup, although I have a feeling the deluxe has been retooled for this to include a suitable hitch.

Meh, at least G1 Primes' stacks are the proper length. Not bad, but not exactly blowing my hair back.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Too bad I have all my figs packed away for a move next weekend...are the G1 and the movie deluxe anywhere close to the same scale? I'm picturing them as fairly similar physical size, but not scaling to each other very well...meaning the trailer might look ridiculous with one of them. Where are THOSE pics?

Here's my predicament: got an original G1 OP with trailer (in awesome condition), bought DOTM Wal*Mart deluxe OP already; guess I need that trailer, please sell it by itself through BBTS or the like . . .

And Has/Tak's goal is to get you to buy the same damn figure 12 times over...no separate trailer for you!

They're pretty much the same height in robot mode, I'm thinking the same goes for their vehicle modes too.

EDIT: I found this pic with both of them towing the trailer, it looks like G1 prime might be a little bigger in vehicle mode, but it's not too noticeable. ;)

I wonder if you could put any deluxes in the trailer and have the side close up?? Probably not but it'll be cool if you could.

The Voyager had a trailer that fit Deluxes. So I wouldn't count on it.
