Earlier today, thanks to fellow Seibertron staffer xRotorstormx, we were told of a Tweet about Takara Tomy's YouTube channel, where they posted a new commercial for their upcoming TAV-21 Optimus Prime, but it wasn't available in our country sadly.




Well, all that changed when fellow fan and collector Daim Choc uploaded it to his Facebook timeline for all to see and share!

This is the Optimus Prime we RID (2015) collectors have been waiting for, this one is the right scale, has a ton of killer (tee hee) accessories and electronic features!

You can see the commercial, on Daim Choc's timeline, by clicking the image mirrored below:

Not "Something something Convoy".
Interesting. :-?


Why? All new Japanese Primes have been called that since the 2007 movie, including:

- Movie
- Animated
- Prime
- United & Generations (despite being the G1 character)

Nowadays, "Convoy" is now reserved for the G1 original character.

Well, I mean, the whole point of releasing an optimus prime toy is so that TT can release it as Nemesis Prime. The red eyes just show that they're thinking ahead ;)

Or the same price as any regular Leader Class toy... For a supreme class toy! If not bigger.
Plus shipping, of course.

That's not bad. I'm ok with it. I kinda wish it didn't have lights to save cost and instead have some dang panels, but, really, this is a cool Prime. Best mold for the look hands down.

It's just leader class. It might be taller but its very thin, kinda like animated Lockdown.

Maybe OLD Leader Class (AOE OP is way smaller than ROTF OP), plus thin and tall like Animated Lockdown? Because the picture you have just shown show a very TALL Optimus.
