Thanks to Oscar Fung's Facebook page, via Seibertron.com user daimchoc, we get some in hand images of the Optimus Prime Evolutions 2-pack. This 2-pack contains repaints of the recently released Evasion mode Optimus Prime and a Fan favorite classics Optimus Prime released all the way back in 2006. Oscar was also gracious enough to post some comparison picture with the Japanese version of this mold, the Henkei Optimus Prime. Check out the images we've mirrored below remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

[Super Megatron]

Meh. Easy pass.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Not too bad looking. If I had cash to spare or if a relative was looking for a gift idea, this could be one. I just need a proper repurposing destination for the Classics mold since I have the Henkei one.

[Sabrblade]

Toy-accuracy right down to the yellow eyes!

[Nemesis Maximo]

I foolishly passed on the original " Classics" O.P. back in '06, so I really look forward to getting this. The coloring in robot mode is, IMO, nicer than the original.

[Cyberpath]

Sigh, yellow eyes.

Still not liking the grey elbows. Wish they'd release this in the original Henkei colours.

And they ditched EMOP's face plate. But it' still lacking paint around the grill though.

Any chance there will be other variations of this set?

[Doubledealer93]

Maybe. Just for the classics prime. My fiancée may want one.

[Legosrawsum]

When does this come out?

[Optimum Supreme]

Like the deco on the regular EMOP much better than on this. The blue flames on the cab just seem wrong and weird.

[TGDweezl]

Will this be in North America? And do we have a price tag on it? I wouldn't mind getting it at all.

[Madeus Prime]

Soooooo getting this set. I HAVE TO HAVE THE CLASSICS PRIME!

[bassal]

Meh. That set looks pretty unimpressive.

[Lucky Logician]

Quick putting chrome on crotches only!!! Why do you want us all staring at robo-crotches, Hasbro?

Because they support robo-porn? I don't know!

Can't wait to get this, I don't have any voyager Classics Optimus. Much less a shiny one. I might still pick up Tommy Kennedy Optimus, but this'll be my main one.
Anyone think this release has to do with the recent Botcon use of the mold?

I don't see why it would, since the mold is still available for use by Hasbro, Fun Pub, or even Takara with their Cloud Optimus release.

[kriksix]

erm wouldn't a G1 Optimus make more sense with Evasion Mode Prime? 'twould show off the whole 'evolution' thing more, no?

Using a G1 mold for this set would clash with the other Evolution 2-Packs.

[shajaki]

this will be bought on site.

EMOP's megatron gun is black this time around. dunno why that pleases me..

[Samsonator]

Yellow eyes. This has been upgraded to must-purchase.

[megatronus]

Presumably this Oscar Fung is overseas, and the 2-pack hasn't reached the States yet?

Our friends at the Transformers Columbia Facebook page have posted official images of the upcoming Transformers: Age of Extinction Platinum Edition Dinobots Unleashed set. The set, which is a BigBadToyStore shared exclusive, features Voyager Grimlock, Voyager Slog, Deluxe Slug, Deluxe Scorn, and Deluxe Strafe in a more unified deco. Check out the official images mirrored below:

[Sabrblade]

I can't tell if they really believed they were trying for something somewhat in the spirit of a vein similar to what in a way could be sorta kinda called close to resembling movie-accuracy with these... or if they simply wanted to do gunmetal Dinobots just because.
