Thanks to a magazine image making the rounds on the net, we see yet another incarnation of Optimus Prime with an unusual alt mode. His alt mode of choice this time? Optimus Prime transforms into a pen. Not much is known at this time except it looks to made by Sentinel Co Ltd and has a very articulated G1 robot mode. The pen is truly mightier than the sword, or blaster in which case Optimus Prime also has that covered.

Holy cow, the concept is stupid, but damn that bot-mode is amazing! :BOOM:

Gotta get one.

I love it! I'd like the pen mode to be more like a pen but the concept is so far out there that it's a must have.

Also. When you hit the link it sends you to their homepage where there is a sweet ass Dinobot Scorn looking figure but waaaaay better than Hasbro's. I want that figure.
I'm trying to find a good translate add on but none of them will translate their page. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Nevermind. The page has an "english" option in the right top corner. The figure is called Dino Getter 2.
I can't find that pen anywhere though.

Dude, that's awesome! I may betoken just for the novelty value if it's not too expensive.

This would be a great alt mode for MTMTE Rung.

This must be a late April Fool's Day joke - it looks like crap. Robot mode is okay, but wow, they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. The reason why they made this "pen" transform into Optimus is because the CEOs know there is a cult/religion out there that is dedicated to buying anything that is Optimus Prime.

Easy pass.

It took a moment to process what this is supposed to be, but after the initial guffaw I can say that as ridiculous as it is it does make a decent looking robot mode Optimus.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I need that.

:MAXIMAL:

The pen is mightier than the sword!... cuz it's got a gun..
But that looks more like a prison shiv than a pen. It must be one of the most uncomfortable writing instrument ever made. Good looking bot mode though. Funny how they'll slap Optimus' head on anything to sell stuff. :roll:

That robot mode is in a similar pose to that which Revoltech Convoy is so often seen posed in:

i remember as a kid that knowing my obsession with anything transformers I'd receive lots of stuff emblazoned with the logo or something remotely connected. I even had gloves with galvatron on them, and shampoo bottles that were meant to be OP (and all i ever really wanted were the toys!)

i recall these little crappy plastic pens that would transform into some sort of robot, they were popular and were useless but nonetheless they were popular.

the robot mo isn't bad but he makes for a very uncomfortable looking pen. I'm waiting for musical instruments next.. it's the megatron harmonica vs the OP flute!
