Picked this up at a garage sale today -- not sure what it is or where it came from. It seems like it's just a paper weight -- doesn't really do anything. It's labeled Hasbro 2007 on the underside.

Thanks.

I think Target sold these around the time of the 2007 movie. They also did something similar with Star Wars. But yeah, it is basically a paper weight.

edit: It was not a Target exclusive. It's the Unleashed turnaround statue. Overcracker says it best below.

It is a 2007 Movie Transformers UNLEASHED Optimus Prime. statue.
The Sub line if you can call it that was under the Unleashed Banner. Unleashed started off as a Star Wars sub line were Hasbro offered highly detailed, professionally sculpted statues of characters in extreme and dynamic poses with some accessories, normally energy constructs, that showcased their powers. The Star Wars Unleashed line was aimed at collectors. And was mildly successful.

They extended the line to Transformers for the first movie, and offered these double sided statuettes so you could have the characters in both modes.

I'm pretty sure only Prime and Megatron got Unleashed statues.

Awww.. you beat me to it! You must have posted while I was still searching. Yep - it's the Unleashed turnaround from 2007.

You can get it new for $8 on Amazon

OK, thanks again. Not sure I'd pay 8 bucks for it, but it's definitely worth the 50 cents I paid today.

What do you know about this one? It's got the OddzOn and Hasbro markings from 2006, along with "Transformers" on it. When you push the front button the head pops up. When you push the plungers on the back, his fists go forward. Measures about 5 1/2" tall.

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks.

They're like those robot-fightinhg things, there's also an Optimus. They've got a hole in the tops of their heads, those are for holding lollypops (which they came with).

I keep getting those things form people, I've got three Megatrons now.
