Transformers Animated might be dead in the west, but in Japan it's got some life left in it yet. Takara Tomy had a special lottery with the Japanese supermarket chain "FamilyMart" one of the prizes was an Animated Optimus Prime. This version of Animated Optimus Prime is based off the Deluxe Class "Earth Mode" Optimus Prime. However this version is different from the original release, as it's not only rare but also "clean", meaning that it lacks the black "Battle Damage" paint apps of the original. Just click the image to see the full gallery!

A clean version of that figure is friggin' brilliant. Everything I hoped it would be. I'm very sad that I'll never own one, and will be stuck with Mr. Battle Damage for the rest of time.

Always hated that his waist was a little off center.

Don't be so sure. If Hasbro gets around to releasing Wingblade Prime, it was going to be this deluxe version of Optimus that came with the armour, unlike the Takara version, and as one would expect, it is without the battle damage. They keep insisting that they're trying to get the rest of the Animated figures out there, so hopefully, maybe by Universe 4.0, we'll see the rest of them, including Prime.

Anyone else think it's odd that Hasbro hasn't decided to use the "Classics" universe generations reveal the shield line to release these remaining TFA toys? seems like the perfect line to release figures that are or were on the chopping block.

That's what I've been saying all along. Seems like they could fit them in anywhere if they wanted to, especially with the merging of the movie & classic-style lines.
