Fellow Seibertronian Sentinel Primal made us aware of a post form Reddit featuring what appears to be a sleeper mode redeco of Earthrise "leader" Optimus Prime. What is most convincing about this is the fact that most of the "colour" comes from the plastic rather than paint which wouldn't be the case were it a custom.

Sentinel_Primal wrote:Apparently the leaker that leaked Bluestreak and Ratchet last year got his hands on a new figure... And it's Sleep Mode Optimus Prime.



We know nothing else aside from this photo at this point in time.

I like that they'll make battle damaged versions of figures, and black and white versions, but we still don't have a black and white battle damaged optimus prime. Really that's the only time you see Optimus in black and white like that, when he's had the s**t kicked out of him by Megatron.

Meh...if it was the predicable Nemesis Prime, or some other character sharing the same body (a s others have mentioned SG etc...) I would be interested, but as this is literally the same character, just portraying him at his lowest point, it holds no interest to me

OP dished out just as much as he took, if not for Unicron, Megs would have died as well.

We still could to be fair, nothing saying this is going to be the only repaint. MP 01 recieved a similar repaint didn't it?

It's definitely not gonna be mainline, but I'm not sure it'll be Selects either. Some people are speculating this was gonna be the SDCC exclusive. I'm betting it'll end up like the toy-colors Refraktor pack, as a non-Selects fan channel exclusive.

I'll be honest, even though it's Prime's corpse, I might get it just as a stand alone figure. I can't really justify retail Prime because it's so similar to Siege Prime, but something about this color scheme just appeals to me

Maybe? But I just don't see them putting "Dead Optimus Prime" on the shelf in the TOY SECTION between the Power Rangers and the TMNT figures. I feel like thats a Class Action from some Karen Parentgroup just WAITING to happen.

I'm still hoping for a Toxitron redeco of this. Probably not going to happen though. Earthrise Nemesis Prime I hope is at least on the horizon at some point. SG Prime would also be awesome as well.

Posted by Skritz on May 20th, 2020 @ 6:45pm CDT
Given that Nemesis Prime was technically a Takara Tomy figure, we haven't really seen Hasbro do a redeco of the Siege Optimus beyond the special edition. I'd love to have a Toxitron Shattered Glass or even Nova Prime out of their Siege Optimus or the ER one. I could absolutely see Nova Prime as a redeco of the Galaxy Convoy figure. I doubt it will happen at this point but I think it would work nicely.

That's why I'm kinda hoping for a proper Leader-class G2 Laser Prime soon, not just cuz I'm very unsatisfied with the Octane pre-tool one we got in TR, but also because it could then be retooled into a proper Scourge and Toxitron.

The negative feedback on this is kinda depressing. We've been begging Hasbro for a G1 accurate trailered Prime for years. MP was the only option. And Hasbro has never released a Sleep Mode Prime, so to think we may be getting this, and people are complaining about it, makes me remember why I left the boards to begin with.

I mean, it seems pretty niche, I've never seen anyone asking for this on the boards, I know that I don't give a crap about it, and definitely won't be buying it, and I think that knowing this is going to be depriving a release slot from another more interesting redeco, I think it just has a lot of people disappointed

I've never really understood the "sleep mode" deco when it was first seen as an MP. Overall, I think the reaction to Earthrise has been pretty positive, but I just can't bring myself to be excited about a toy based on the time OP turned grey for a minute. And there's a lot they could do to get me to buy a special edition of this thing.

Like a premium deco. Or a remould based off Dark Awakening. But ... not really dead OP.

Not necessarily. The only Toxitron that was a tanker truck was the one that never saw release. The ones that did were all non-tanker trucks:

The Animated version actually just reminded me of how there's that rumored RID Optimus Prime. I think Toxitron could come from that because it'd be the Animated reference, plus it'd be a decent way to make him look slightly more unique than just "green Optimus Prime" because of the armored up mode.

And now I've made myself sad because A) RID Prime is very likely to be a much worse version of the original because they'll probably just reuse Siege Magnus's core bot, and B) Toxitron's very unlikely to ever be made by Hasbro when they can just reuse it to be Nemesis Prime, the more well known one

I don't know about Scourge, that name is most likely reserved for the Galvatron lackey (whom I hope we get a voyager of) so if we get a black tanker, he would have to be named something else or released under a different line (Selects or 3rd part of WFC).

Lately, any new toys of his have been mostly Takara initiatives, so if another one happens, it'd probably come from Takara and be named "Black Convoy".

Always thought a nice battle damaged sleep mode / zombie prime would be an interesting deco for some to have.

I wouldn't go out of my way to get it if I already had the mould, but if I hadn't already gotten it, I would've been tempted

Definitely one of the more amusing redecos, if this is legit. Maybe they'd do Sleep Mode Ironhide and Sleep Mode Prowl.

A few thoughts immediately come to mind:

1. Movie-inspired Battle damage would make it way more appealing
2. I don't see the point of the trailer for a figure based off one scene where he's laying on a table without the trailer, seems like you could've sold more without it no?
3. I'm surprised this exists before Nemesis, or even SG
4. I could see this as the planned SDCC exclusive

Unfortunately, the trailer is gangmolded with the cab. And, we can use the trailer as the bed upon which Prime dies (and which can then fold up into his own rolling coffin).

"Sleep mode"? Ugh. The bots and cons were offline for millennia aboard the crashed Ark, and I don't recall them turning grayscale during that time. Call it what it is: Corpse Mode Prime.

First Gen wrote:Hasbro has never released a Sleep Mode Prime, so to think we may be getting this, and people are complaining about it, makes me remember why I left the boards to begin with.


I don't think Hasbro has ever released a seafoam/coral decoed Optimus Prime, either, but that doesn't mean people should feel obligated to like it if they did, especially when there are other desirable decos out there that most people have not had access to.

And an *action* figure of a dead guy is inherently just... Kinda dumb. You can't even argue 'he's a zombie' because Optimus is back in his normal colors in "Dark Awakening".

Dead-Optimus on a medical cot would make for a good accessory in a movie-themed gift set, but all he needs is neck articulation and a light-up removable matrix. A $50 figure of a very, thoroughly, completely dead Transformer seems like a waste. And unless it's got busted up antennae, cracked windows, and a gaping abdominal wound, it's not even screen accurate.

There's a retailer listing for an "Alternate Universe Optimus Prime" on Amazon, and people think it could be an SG Prime. It could also be a RiD 2001 Optimus that was hinted at by a leaker on TFW2005 who got a ton of other stuff right, like Doubledealer and Arcee (he implied it was RiD OP, but wouldn't give a definitive answer).

Bit of a weird choice for a redeco. "Hey, remember when we killed off your childhood idol? Now you can buy a figure of it!". Kinda morbid.

Regarding Toxitron, I'd prefer he was a tanker truck like the cancelled toy, because A: Laser Prime is a cool design and B: a poison/chemical themed Transformer turning into a tanker truck makes sense. What I'd really like though is for him to get a toy that isn't a con exclusive and for him to get actual fiction outside of obscure club one-shots.

For that particular cab-over engine design? Not really, aside from the "all-black" which gets boring. In that aspect it's certainly a different take, something that's been tried only once before:

Note that the MP one has a translucent trailer, and isn't grey at all, just really desaturated reds and blues.

We have the BAPE variants.

A minor retool would also give us:

G2 Prime.

A more ambitious retool would give us:

Machine Wars Prime.

Machine Wars would be an interesting line to reintroduce through redecos and Selects. Since they are as alien to most casual fans as Transtech. More interesting than Zombie Prime, anyway.

I would love for any type of prime, as long as it is not just another stupid rehash of the G1 design. I have gotten so sick of it. I wish hasbro would see that there are another 30+ of TF that happened after 84-85.

I'm ok with a dead Earthrise Optimus Prime colored figure. I still think the trailer is extremely lackluster though. It should've come with a Roller of some sort, more paint and at least an ax or sword or something. I got it the same day I got SS DotM Optimus from Target during that sale a while back. Seeing all that the DotM trailer could do and what it came with just made the Earthrise trailer look like garbage. It doesn't help that the plastic feels like garbage as well.

A new RiD Optimus would be really cool. I have the original but I'd still take a new one as well. I also want a SG Optimus but not really one of Earthrise Optimus due to my problems with the trailer.

As for Toxitron and Nova Prime, I'd love to see them more as well. However, I made some customs of them using Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime as well as Delta Magnus from Ultra Magnus so they're not too high on my wishlist at the moment. I was gonna do a few more customs using these two molds but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I did these last year when the figures were cheap then I went back to work full time which caused me not to get around to the rest. I would've done at least Nemesis, SG and Fire Guts from GUOP and Armada Overload and yellow Overload/Shining Magnus from Ultra Magnus. I did several other customs but they're very far off the topic at hand here. I just thought I'd show what some of the mentioned deco ideas would look like using a different Prime mold.

I just realized I never actually finished Nova Prime, I didn't do anything for the faux windows on the shoulder armor. I think it was because I painted behind the translucent plastic to cause the color change in the windows and didn't actually have a color to match to paint the faux windows with and never mixed one myself. I also think I wanted to add some yellow to Delta Magnus in spots too after thinking the grey was too bland in some spots.

I'm calling it right now. We will get this toy to symbolize the death of optimus and this will be the wave 3 optimus prime. We will also get hotrod and/or rodimus prime in wave 3. Then wave 4 will be a new optimus prime mold to be the "return of optimus prime" mold and hopefully fix the color mess earthrise is.

I'd rather see a Powermaster Prime redo (I did skip on the TR/Legends version) or G2 Laser Rod for a revived Optimus. The latter is also good material for a Toxitron or Scourge repaint (yeah I know he's called Nemesis Prime now, but a Nemesis Prime with the Laser Rod design might as well be RiD Scourge). Or, hell, any design that isn't the 1984 Diaclone original design.

You think they're gonna release 6 mainline Leader-class figures in a smaller timeframe than they released 4 for Siege?

I think Rodimus and the yet-another-G1-prime-redo will be for Wave 1 of whatever the third part is. My guess is there's at least one more leader mold for ER, even if it might be a serious retool/shared engineering of either existing ones.

You think they're gonna release 6 mainline Leader-class figures in a smaller timeframe than they released 4 for Siege?


I think Rodimus and the yet-another-G1-prime-redo will be for Wave 1 of whatever the third part is. My guess is there's at least one more leader mold for ER, even if it might be a serious retool/shared engineering of either existing ones.

Fingers still extremely crossed for Stalker/Machine Wars Soundwave/Cybertron Defense Red Alert.
