He is big and he speaks Japanese with lights and sounds. The Transformers Adventure galleries continue with the induction of TAV21 Optimus Prime into the ranks. This Prime is a brand new mold and is only currently available from Takara Tomy. He comes with a plethora of weapons and a gimmick that pops out the Decepticon Hunter in which to plug the weapons. The images below are clickable which will take you to the full gallery.

All for the sake of his fully functioning trailer:

So it's for a good cause.

I saw the image on the main page which only showed his head and chest, and I thought, 'Hmm. That looks OK I guess.' Then I saw the full body shot and I have only two words.

Butt
Ugly

except for the hollow legs that is a hell of a nice figure, and the only screen accurate one so far

this looks amazing . why couldn't we have gotten this instead of the Deluxe class version. :BANG_HEAD:

this would look interesting next to CW leader Megatron , RiD2001 Side burn ( amazing figure BTW) and Metro-Plex and Devastator

Thr road to hell is paved with good intentions. I think that was a feature they should have just left out. Really dont like the hollow legs, good cause or not makes the toy seem less spectacular.

I wish people would stop complaining about his legs..."he has hollow legs....Boo Hoo" SO WHAT!!! lots of Transformers toys have hollow legs(Gen Metroplex, Platinum Supreme Starscream, Thrilling 30 Generations Skybite, Fort Max ect...to name but a few) but it doesn't make it a bad toy! YES...they could've made a part that folded over to cover up the hollowness but you only see the hollowness from certain angles.....depending on the way your looking at it

anywho...I'd've bought the figure...if....it happened to appear in the UK in the bricks & mortar stores, but it won't, as it's a Takara release.

I'm pretty much over this line. I picked up the first few Warrior Class figures like Grimlock, Strongarm and Steeljaw. The majority of the releases haven't interested me since
After having the few I got for a few months, I've decided to give them to my son to play with as he will get a lot more enjoyment out of them than I have.

I am considering picking up the Jazz just so I can repaint him as Stepper/Ricochet.

But there's already a Stepper coming from Takara.

this looks awesome

but i heard that another remolded version was coming out later as well, saw some protype pics a few weeks ago.

i got this guy coming, but i def like to see what the remold version turns out like, cuz it looked bad ass from the pics i saw.

I wish they did a better job on the weapons with this version, seem a lil puny for prime, esp the gun

Am I the only one who's really not excited by that "G1" Grimlock? I was interested when I first heard the rumors, but after seeing that it's movie colors, not G1 colors, I lost all interest. Don't need an orange Grimlock :-?
