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 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.
