Third-Party SD Optimus Prime in Development

I must have it!

He's so damn cute !!

Way to Gundam for me i think.....Primars was awesome and the only chibi/SD OP i need

hoooray!

Something else I don't need to buy!

It's cute and adorable, but like all cute and adorable things, I don't want it on my shelves.

Not my thing. Maybe cute for my girlfriend, but not for me. What does "SD" stand for ???

1. Stupid Dummy
2. Slightly Deformed
3. Seriously Demented
4. My next guess to too "Rated X" to type here so use your imagination...

That's awesome, And the fact that it can transform is added bonus too!

Depending in the size it'll go great with my ever growing collection of SD Kotobukia model kits.

Super Deformed.

I dig it. It does have a bit of a Gundam vibe, but I love Gundam so that's fine with me. I'd only get it if it comes out and I happen to have the extra cash.

Not keen on the vehicle mode but the robot mode looks sweet!

It is cute, but what might kill it for me is that, while I could be wrong, I have a hard time believing it might be a perfect transformation. I cannot for the life of me see where some things such as the lower arms or especially the head might fit in the alt mode, and would be rather disapointed if they were just removed and put aside.

I can live with that in an older toy, like Convoy Jnr., but a newly designed product, like the similarly SD Disney Convoy, should be designed to keep everything in one piece.

And I thought Primars looked neat, this little dude's gorgeous! I hope the final product's face doesn't stick out from the head as much as it does here, it doesn't look like it should, other than that, this guy's right up my alley!

Look at how chunky his legs are! they're like Stormbomb's legs times ten!

That looks to be the case, but I don't mind cause the rest of him looks so good. I don't see how they would be able to store the head though, I guess it could have been on a pole that slid into the trailer, but then you wouldn't be able to separate the cab. This is exactly why I think someone should be doing SD Headmasters.

A headmaster would be different... and awesome. But a seperate head that just gets tossed aside (again, if this is the case -- can't say for sure untill we see more) would just be meh. Me no like. But if you don't mind, then by all means I hope you enjoy the hell out of this if you pick it up.

Alt mode on that thing is hideous. The Primars Optimus has it beat for alt mode but this one wins for robot mode.

Hmmm, I think I'll pick one of these up. Bot mode looks really nice. I wouldn't be interested unless it transformed, so they got me.

Oh good, another third party product I'm not interested in. My wallet sends its thanks.

LOVE the bot mode, but the alt mode is a mess. It would be cool if it looked like a SD truck cab, but it doesn't.

I can already see the back of the packaging.

"Transform from Super Deformed robot to horribly deformed truck and back again! (You know, because no one's going to want this truck mode on their shelf)"

Super Deformed.

Hey I came pretty close in my guesses !

I'm pretty sure transforming it will involve removing the head and forearms. It looks cool, but I think I can easily pass.

Lol the alt-mode looks just as good as MP-01 Prime.
Also, I don't think the head and forearms will store in the trailer, seeing that the trailer is just a piece of cardboard.
Depending on price I might bite, just to have a cute little bugger like that.

Looks nice but pass. Maybe if I ever get that Mickey Mousimus Prime to go with it...

We have some new prototype images of the third-party SD Optimus Prime that was announced in early December. The images mirrored below were taken at a recent trade show and posted to the TEKMEN weibo page. Despite his extreme proportions the figure does appear to transform (looks like there is considerable "parts-forming"), has multiple hands, and comes with a trailer.

No thanks,not for me either.

I think the abbreviation "SD" comes from the Gundam toy line & means "Super-deformed". in other words hasbro's TF toys equivelant when the artist/designers create TF body parts or limbs shorter or bigger than they should be. example: Classics 2.0 ultra sized powerglides toy extremly long robot legs,super tiny torso,short arms & over sized robot head.

Parts-forming? I ain't care, you can't look that good without there being some kind of catch, which is more than I can say to the likes of, y'know, Omega Supreme.





EDIT: That is kinda, an unfair comparison, I must admit.

This thing is growing on me.

SD hasn't stood for Super Deformed since like, the 80's. I Guess I'm the only one here that knows SD stands for Superior Defender
He's our last hope! And he's so Kawaii!

You probably must remove the head. That, or the parts you see are accesories...
What I want to know is, are we getting an SD Megatron?
Knowing currernt hype, we'd probably get an SD bumbles first, if we get any more at all. Still, we can rest assured it's G1 styled!

Oooh, I'd so buy an SD Megs, especially if it's by the same guys who're doing this dude, and if he had like, alternate expressions and stuff, like Nendoroids or the Masterpiece Seekers.

On the subject of SD Bumbles though, there already is one, as rare, expensive, and untransformable as it is.

The Planet Iacon facebook page has posted color prototype images of the third-party SD Optimus Prime that has been showing up over the last few months. Not much is know about this little guy at the moment. Images mirrored below.

love the color this thing is really growing on me

He so adorable <3

I wonder how much they're going to charge for him though... That'll determine whether or not I make him my 1st 3rd party figure.

SWEEEEEEEET

Who's an angry little prime?

That is a perfect piece of kibble for my work desk.

Woah. Am I actually- *pats mouth* drooling over this?

Looks incredibly like it fell out of Super Robot Wars.

Daaaahhhh!! Look at the wittle Optimus! SO CUTE!

I wonder if this will see sales. It has the Autobot symbol on it. Whether it's molded or painted or just stickered on, either way, that alone could mean this may not see any sort of sales. Hasbro is very protective about that kind of thing.

Oh man, I gotta have this little guy! he so puts Primars to shame!

Well, they should be, but SuperAlloy Wheelie has Transformers and Autobot written on his box, not to mention he comes with Autobot, Decepticon, and Elite Guard stickers, and Hasbro's non the wiser.

There have been a lot of TF purchases that I had to talk myself into or find ways to justify. Shoot, it took me a few months to convince myself I should get a $10.00 Wal-Mart exclusive deluxe class Movie Optimus Prime. I'd drop $30.00 on this thing without so much as a second thought or a moments worth of hesitation, so here's hoping that his price range goes no higher than that. Anything over and I'll actually have to talk myself into this purchase. I already know the purchase is going to happen it's just a matter of how much I'm going to have to lie to myself about whether I need it or not.

Perhaps in robot mode but this guy has nothing on Primars in alt mode.

True, but even if he had a better alt mode, I still don't think I'd transform him that much cause of his awesome robot mode.

Holy sh*t, that looks amazing.

He's so cute and yet so angry.

Love this little dude, just hope he not too expensive.

For something like this, I think I don't care if it Transforms at all...

My thoughts exactly, he looks pretty awesome!
