At first I thought "Wow this thing suddenly looks badass and not shit!"

But then I realized it was Voyager Beast Hunters Optimus with one of the EX Prime part things.

Oh, come on! He just had to place Optimus in just the right spot to cover up the English spelling on the box! Move over so I can read it! :BANG_HEAD:

Based on what I can see of the phrasing, it's done like this:

Optimus EX Prime

I've suspected that it would be like "OPTIMUS EXPRIME", but I wanna see it for real.

the coolness of japanese only exclusives went away after when they had their own beast wars series

What about the Japanese-only Prime molds like Gaia Unicron, War Breakdown, Air Vehicon, etc.?

The 4th picture reminds me of the unification move in the sentai series where all five pulls out a BFG outta nowhere to sheet the main bad guy. The new Prime is equally awesome!

At first I was like "Huh?" but now I see what you mean.

The pic is actually supposed to represent the ancient Sword Master Go Prime passing on that Kabuto to Hunter Optimus Prime, as a sign of Optimus's worthiness.

Virtually all of the exclusive 'Go!' moulds are awful and this is no exception. However I will forgiven them a little as (Beast Hunters) Nemesis Prime is awesome.

TF Yuki tweeted some new images of Takara Tomy's soon to be released Transformers Go! G26 Optimus Exprime combined with G01 Kenzan and G05 Gekisomaru. In addition to these combined modes, the figure can also transform into a bullet train, dragon and robot. Check out Daikenzan and Daigekisou mirrored below:

oh my lord... i do not think you could burn this thing in a fire long enough. what a piece of garbage. all of these figures could have been awesome if they did not have to combine with eachother.

For a moment I thought from the preview pic that this was a Baan Gaan toy.

These things have cool features, particularly in the upper body area. But then you look down and see those puny little thighs and the whole image is ruined.

My eyes. I love combiners but this is like they took all the things fans love and smashed them together into a muddy mess. Energon Superlink modes looked way better. This is more like the Power Rangers and a Mutant had babies.

Oh course, this means low sales and some day these will be worth a bloody fortune.

Jesus H. Primus, that is one fugly-ass action figure. And here I thought the movie-based toys were hideous.
