I assure you, it's not.
This figure is called "Optimus EVA Prime" and, like some higher end S.H. Figurarts and S.I.C figures, will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive.
Wait, what? That's kinda hard to swallow. Wouldn't that mean Bandai made this (Tamashii is part of Bandai)? I have a hard time believing Takara would let them handle anything with a Transformers logo on it. Also, the quality of the joints is far inferior to what we'd see from Bandai in S.H.F. or Robot Damashii. I'm more likely to believe it's a Takara Tomy Arts mini figure with such simple joints.

Evangelion is a Bandai property I believe, so using Tamashii Web makes sense.
Not that it matters anymore, but it's not. Most Japanese figure companies have done Eva figures in one way or another including Takara Tomy.
