More Images of Generations G2 Optimus Prime

I've got to say, I'm a big fan of the mold.

That is some awesome articulation.

That is some great articulation but he looks strange holding the sword over his head like that with the front halfs of the truck facing forward. Just doesn't look right.

No not the G1 one, the RID one:



They better give him RED eyes!

RID SCOURGE REPAINT PLEASE NOW!!!!!!!!


although I somehow doubt he will be better than the original RID scourge...

That G2 Optimus is SO getting repainted by Hasbro as Ultra Magnus.
I would be pleased but he's a tiny deluxe so no chance I'll get it. This figure should be at least Voyager sized.

I dont like this figure at all. Ill wait 2 see if they (and they will) repaint this as Nemesis. If I miss out on this one then I wont be sad.

Not liking the G2 Prime. I'll probably get one before the price skyrockets though.

meh, i'll take the original.

Ok, I'll be the one to say it. If I didn't already know this was an official product, I would think it was a Chinese KO, at most another companies transforming robot. I refuse to believe that this KO looking, $3 style bot is an official product from Hasbro. Articulation may look good but I don't think it will look good with my other Classicverse bots. There is no flow with the paint job in vehicle mode either. It is like movie Prime sexually assualted Classics Prime and this was the mutated offspring. Totally easy pass for me.

The colours don't work on the cab. Why have they added blue? The spindly wrists don't look good. At first I was underwhelmed, now I'm outright uninterested.

Hmmm.... not feeling G2 prime, crappy colours... lame alt truck....why does his head look like ROTF Jolt?! Needs RID Scourge repaint NOW.

Scourge looks good! Apart from blue eyes and dodgy Jetblade/Dirge feet...

Scourge yes, Prime NO.

I admit, I'm a bit underwhelmed now that I see G2 Prime here. He just looks so plain and unpainted in robot mode. I'm not completely turned off though, I figure a few paint touch ups will do him wonders once I get him. Besides, he's got all the perfect articulation for wielding his sword, which mounts in a scabbard on his back! I mean who doesn't like a sword wielding Prime?

BTW, is anyone else noticing the matrix design in his chest?

There's not much to say about Generations G2 OP that hasn't been said before in this thread...
The colors are terrible all round. I don't mind the flames in the alt mode, but the blue cab with the black hood just looks bad. I also hate the light grey torso and thighs in 'bot mode. Also, the spindly hands and arms, as well as the (IMO) feminine thighs look awful in this version. I even don't like the way his head looks.

Strangely enough, I do still have the hope that the inevitable repaint, hopefully as G2 Scourge, will look better than this does, because in my opinion a lot of the problems could be solved by changing the colors.

Anyhow, I'm glad I finally broke down a couple of weeks ago and bought an original MISB G2 Laser Rod OP for a fair price.

G2 Prime is looking really small.

I still like my G2 Laser Prime more

Scourge looks awesome though!

Honestly dont like him. Maybe he will go with the Redux set but he will be so small. Plus he is screaming "movie Prime".

That's true. The head on this isn't really all that G2-y.

I cannot wait to make these mine!

He's... little!

Honestly, repaint him like Optimus in Transformers Prime and you're good to go. He has that whole windshield chest down.

I was liking him, but not if Hot Rod is just as big as he is.

i dont own g2 prime ill get this version for cheaper price like his sword holder reminds me of heman by the poerw of greyskull it would be great if there is trailer in works for this prime or 3rd party company that decides to take up on that offer for people who do decide to buy this prime.


scourage ill save my money for rid version of him unless hasbro decides to repaint him with red eyes.

didnt know scourage jet had blue eyes maybe takra version will have red

The G2 prime really need a recolour preferable as Rid Scourge but with a remolded head he could prob become a nice motormaster with those shoulders.

What he said.

I like the artiulation but not at the expence of everything else. With his arms raise above his head, he looks so awkward. I'll pick him up, but he won't be an OP in my collection.

Now I'm definitely sold. We finally get a real Optimus Prime.

No seriously, you have seen the real G2 Optimus Prime haven't you?

anyone notice that in one of the pictures we see what looks like the matrix? (the pic where he's reaching around his back to grab the sword for those who cant tell)

Target will release a Menasor versus Hot Zone (Motormaster and Hot Spot) 2-pack next year, which are repaints/remolds of Generations G2 Optimus Prime and Universe Inferno. It will be great.

The RID Scourge repaint of Generations G2 Optimus Prime will be the SDCC Transformers exclusive for 2011.

You saw it here first.

We've been getting 'real optimus primes for a while, now/

I just saw this today... like about 5 days later. I never even saw it on the front page that day. Anyway...

Now that I can see his head, I don't exactly like the sculpt. Otherwise, a perfect reincarnation of a G2 favorite. I doubt Hasbro will turn down a G2 Megatron mold. Then again, they've proven me wrong again and again, so anything's possible.

Well, I mean, not as real as the real deal Laser Prime, but I find his design satisfactory until I get my hands on his far superior counterpart.

Well, amidst all the legends class, fast action battlers, and the dumb movie voyager repaints, this one seems to be a no-nonsense figure.
I don't even remember an Optimus Prime being released in Universe.

I just saw a Video Review off Scourge bye emgo316 on youtube and he is an awesome figure absolutly no robot kible in vehicle mode and his weapon storage is awesome so is his transformation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbgo9PCMkfQ

G2 Prime has that "campy wrist that you'll probably grow to love" look...

And this thread gave us a new acronym:

SIRFbwIB

Scourge is Red (eyed), Flying bat wing is Blue (eyed)...

Classics Optimus Prime. Admittedly 2006, but still of the neo-G1 line.

I was just talking about the Universe line itself, not counting classics.

Blurrz wrote:Generations is Classics. Universe is Classics.

They may share the same concept and style, but as far as stores are concerned, Classics, Universe and Generations are separate lines forming our Classicverse, just like Armada, Energon and Cybertron forming our Unicron Trilogy. In that aspect, OptiMagnus is right.

I really didn't read the posts or remembered if I posted in this thread or not, but I like G2 Laser Prime/Scourge/Black Convoy as the toy was...blocky but with more articulation than G1 Prime.

I don't like this version of G2 Prime. I think the way they re-imaged Classics Prime/Henkei Convoy from the original G1 Counterpart was excellent as far as a step forward in execution.

This version of G2 Laser Prime is a step back. Plus I'm tired of all the leaders being deluxe size also. I think this hampers on what they can do.

Has HasTak learned from U-Galvatron or WFC Optimus Prime/Megatron to know leaders are always bigger than their cohorts.
