This is a really odd reveal, for many reasons. Firstly, it's a reveal for the Cyberverse line, a line which seemed done. Especially with a new kids show already revealed that will have its own toyline. Also, we don't usually get reveals for this line, since it's not made for fans (and there's no preorder for these). And lastly, the big one, this doesn't look at all like Cyberverse Optimus Prime. Optimus in Cyberverse has the evergreen design which we have seen for years now and which we will keep seeing, like in the upcoming Earthspark cartoon. This Optimus Prime, in robot mode, looks exactly like the recent live action Optimus Prime from the Bumblebee movie (and supposedly the Rise of the Beasts Movie too). Look at the arms, the chest, it's that BB Movie Prime. So, it begs the question, is this actually our first look at a toy from the Rise of the Beasts line, but in Cyberverse packaging. Is this the tactic Hasbro will use to release these already produced toys which are supposed to be out soon? Or will the ROTB toys still come out this year in ROTB packaging and this is just an extra toy for another line. No answers, only questions for now. That alt mode is also odd, since it resembles the one Optimus had in Beast Hunters, while also looking a bit like Legacy Bulkhead's, which supposedly will also be made into an Optimus Prime toy.
You can purchase this new Cyberverse Optimus Prime figure from Amazon.com.
We do have some more details about this specific toy. It is 9-inches, so a pretty good size, and it transforms from truck to bot by smashing it on the floor, a tactic used in Age of Extinction toys as well. It will retail for $31.49 when it hits retailers in October.

Reminds me more of his Animated vehicle than his legacy alt mode does.

I think THIS is the Optimus based on Bulkhead that we will see in Legacy.

Robot mode has definite Bumblebee movie Prime parts, arms, chest, legs, very much pointing to BB Prime.
Alt mode however point to the Legacy Prime repaint of Bulkhead which is even stranger.
Is this supposed to be a mashup of different Primes? Or is this what that Bullhead repaint is going to look like?
It's clearly not Earthspark Prime in any way, so is this just a one off? A new line of Cyberverse figures based on the Legacy designs?
This seems super out of left field even for Hasbro.

Haha, and yeah that's the confusing bit. We'll see what happens in a month and a half. If toys don't come out then they reoriented themselves in time for the packaging phase.

People in the know (supposedly) are talking online in various message boards now that this toy has been shown. I covered that here, though I guess the discussion will continue here.

Of course. If it work as storage for the dino mode, it work as storage in robot mode as well.
Still, it baffle me is that in no way the bot can wield that tail as a club. That's one hell of a design oversight.

It can, just insert the sword in and stick it on the hand.

Still no dual wielding unfortunately.

I just normally set my tail off to the side and let it stand as a action master Snarl-esque robot

And, he is good. Like, surprisingly good. First of all, he is very solid, this is a toy designed to be played with. He is also surprisingly posable: all the arm and leg joints you could want, he has ankles but no wrists mind you, and both of his heads are on swivels. So he can throw some moves.
He also has a nice design. I like the Cyberverse Prime design, and this one, like the deluxe, does a good job of capturing that look and those proportions. His base head is nice too. But then, that armor is well sculpted, and the super mode head is super awesome, I love Prime with extra faceplate details and a visor. I only wish there was some silver paint on the chest, but that is a minor thing for how good he is.
The chest armor also tabs into place, adding stability for the armor piece. Weapons are cool too, the shield design is neat, and I like a big ole sword.
So yeah, he is fantastic. Well worth the buy. He surprised me in the most pleasant way.

You really should. This one is very posable, very chunky, and both head sculpts can move and look good. This is a very solid leader sized figure

This Optimus toy really didn't last long in stores. I might have seen him just once.

For a second, I thought you had gotten an EarthSpark Optimus toy early.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I really think we as a fandom have slept on Cyberverse not only as a show, but also with some of the toys. I for one had no idea this Officer Class Optimus would be this cool and this much fun, but he is. This is a great toy, and I love it. It is very fun and very good.

I didn't see it until it showed up at Ollies a month or 2 ago. No regrets though

You also had a good deal at that place so any "regrets" are about impossible.
Also, how's the vehicle mode?

That makes no sense. If you couldn't see it the first time around then you wont be able to see it if he reposts it. If you can't view images that's your problem to fix and yours alone. The picture is still there, if you can't scroll up and see it then that's on you.

Ah, that's logic.
Pictures that show off SCALE properly are the "suspects line-up" ones.

It's not "Battle class". It's Battle CALL. The gimmick of that subline. It was mostly big deluxes (like old deluxe big) and some huge old leader sized bots.
As for scale, Cyberverse didn't gives any fuk and the next kid line based on the show will be the same.
Still, as far as scale went, most characters were redone over and over in various size class with various gimmicks. So you just had to mix and match to your satisfaction.
