[First Gen]

Seibertron.com members Zeds has informed us of some new images that have surfaced of a prototype figure from the Transformers Classics Universe line.

It seems that Classics Optimus Prime has a silver chrome deco version produced, similar to the Lucky Draw series, but was never released. Below are images of the silver Prime:



This figure is currently up for auction. The eBay auction can be seen by clicking here.

Sweet! I'd sure love to get my hands on one of those!

my first reaction was"is this a reference to The Return of Optimus Prime Part III?"

[Narc]

Ooohhh! Looks even better than the golden lucky draw.

Had this been released, it would have been very appropriate issue for Optimus' 25th anniversary in 2009.

[First-Aid]

WOw...that is GORGEOUS! It really is too bad it was never released...would have sold like mad.

[typh0id]

yeah that's pretty sexy

[emeraldbeacon]

Oh, VERY nice... it would've served well as both a "Silver Anniversary" and "Hate Plague Armor" Optimus Prime.

God that's beautiful.

...

GAH, I can't afford it, but DAMN do I want it.

Notice the chrome on the left shoulder has a vague Decepticon symbol?

Something's fishy...

[Solrac333]

THAT is cool!

Where?

That thing looks so awesome, man I wish I could have all versions of that mold.

[Black Bumblebee]

I see the Decepticon symbol as well--it's on two of the photos, and not just one, so that eliminates the "coincidence" factor.

[Highbeam]

Whoa, that would make a nice collectible

[Megatron Wolf]

I want it

I can see it now, I failed to noticed that the shoulder was cut off by the board.
Very strange indeed. I hope this is something that comes out next year.

[MidnightBliss]

I HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!!


Except mine is red and blue. Strange.

Did I read the original post wrong, or did First Gen say this Prime a prototype for a retail release?

[typh0id]

While I do see what you're talking about, I think the "decepticon logo" is just a trick of the light...


Kinda want to see this with the shadow commander armour on it

[Mkall]

Looks like someone chromed a Nemesis Prime. It looks awesome though

No, but it was posted wrong. Every other TF site states that this is UNOFFICIAL, surprised that this site hasn't done the same. This isn't a real deal release, most likely a "lunch time special".

[coolpop]

Not sure if it is in fact a prototype of any upcoming event/exclusive releases. When I first saw it on eBay, I simply took it as another chrome creation from heerotoysmaker, lately he's all into chroming toys, wst cab/trailer, wst seekers, etc.

However, the actively high bidding prices of this auction clearly spells winner. Very nicely looking figure indeed.

[Delphan Rane]

Looks like the seller has listed his 3rd Chrome Convoy.

Indeed! My reaction was "So, it's heat-resistant-alloy-coated Prime!"
