We've seen the silver chromed Transformers: Age of Extinction Wave 1 Deluxes from the Singapore launch of the toy line last week. Now, thanks to local fan IZreloaded, we get a closer look at the top prize of the evening: a gold chromed Leader Class Optimus Prime with display case! Also included below is a report on the event and some images showing off the Bumblebee and Optimus walking suits; a video of the gigantic queue for the launch and ensuing robot madness can be found here!

Transformers Age Of Extinction Toy Madness @2200

More than 1000 fans showed up at Hasbro's Transformers Age of Extinction Toy Madness @ 2200 event at Toys R Us at Forum The Shopping Mall, Singapore to be the first to own the toys from the new Transformers movie. The top spender of the night walked away with a Gold-Chrome Transformers 4 Optimus Prime Leader (with display case) which is limited to Toys R Us Star Card members only. Fans also put their skills to the test in a race against fellow fans to convert Transformers figurines and have their photos taken with their favourite Transformers characters. Casts from local movie Ah Boys To Men were also there to interact with the fans.

Seems weird to see a Toys"R"Us in a mall. I'm wondering how much the winner of the Optimus spent?

Heh. In asia its weird to see a Toysrus NOT in a mall

Ive been to the US once a year ago so i got a feel of what your malls were like there. Vastly different.

Also, the winner of the gold prime is only announced in june. But i know the guys i was queuing with racked up at least $2k sgd that night.

I just think it's generous and wonderful that this guy would take his lucky draw out of the premium casing to give us a close look at this insanely neat figure. Very cool of him.

I do hope, as he speculates, that we get a Silver Knight version of this down the line.
