No one, and I mean no one, can ever blame you for losing interest in MOTU after that '87 movie.

We are referring to the cab only casting which was released in the mainline in 2025 and that's been a real pain to get for any fan. Well, it seems Hot Wheels will treat this casting as they do their "screentime" castings where it will be on rotation for rerelease. Meaning that the exact same casting will be rereleased in the same deco, which you never see in the mainline for their more standard cars (ie: the same Lamborghini Centenario wouldn't get rereleased with the same colors again).
Thanks to this video below, we know it will be released in the B case in 2026, so we should see it hit shelves again in January 2026. There is only one per case but as with all regular Hot Wheels, it will also be made available in the next case (case C) too.
Basically, the supply of Optimus Prime will double in 2026, bringing prices down and giving everyone another shot at owning him or finding him in stores.

None at all! But there are a ton of them on eBay going for $5-$6 plus shipping so they're not exactly bringing in big money so it's not impossible to find in stores. I was lucky enough to find a yellow Bumblebee at Walmart and an Ultra Magnus at a local store so it can happen.
