Primitive Skateboarding Black Power Master Optimus Prime to be 2017 SDCC Exclusive

Posted by william-james88 Jun 20, 2017 at 1:38pm CDT 29,727 views
Thanks to Hypebeast, we have news on the black redeco of Titans Return Power Master Optimus Prime along with a brand new image of him in robot mode. It turns out this will be an SDCC exclusive and also available on HTS after the show. It will be sold for $50, which is almost the same as the non exclusive original figure and he will come with a ramp, rail, and hoverboard, all pictured below, making it a better deal than the original for the amount of accessories you are getting.

Here is an excerpt from the article which speaks of the design and its link to Primitive Skateboarding.

The autobot figurine was partially designed by Primitive Skateboarding founder Paul Rodriguez, and features some updates to the character’s traditional red and blue paint job. This Prime belongs to the Titans Return Powermaster reprise and is decorated in black and gold — a nod to Primitive’s signature colors. The toy figurine also comes with a ramp, rail, and hoverboard, so it can “Shreddicus Maximus” whenever he’s not battling the Decepticons.


TRANSFORMERS PRIMITIVE OPTIMUS PRIME Figure

(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $49.99/Available at Booth #3329 at Comic-Con International in San Diego)

Before OPTIMUS PRIME was blasting DECEPTICONS in battle, he was greasing the wheels of his skateboard with fellow skater, SHREDDICUS MAXIMUS. Shredding rad gnar on the boardwalks of the Senti Rust Pier, they up their street cred while nailing down their signature trick, the Null-Ray-Ray, annihilating the competition into mere grime… Now get ready for the gnarliest TRANSFORMERS stunt of the 21st century… TRANSFORMERS has worked with Primitive Skateboarding, the company founded by legendary skateboarder, Paul Rodriguez, to roll out this special edition TRANSFORMERS PRIMITIVE OPTIMUS PRIME Figure convention exclusive. Co-designed by Paul, the figure features Primitive Skate’s classic black and gold colors for a more sophisticated and on-brand look. To up the skateboarding theme, the figure is placed in premium Primitive Skate-inspired packaging that mimics a “skate shoe” box featuring grip-tape inspired texture. As the ultimate twist, the pack features rail, ramp and hover board accessories! The pack includes a LEADER CLASS OPTIMUS PRIME figure, a TITAN MASTER SHREDDICUS MAXIMUS figure and eight accessories. Converts from robot to tractor trailer in 23 steps and from tractor trailer to battle station in 10 steps. The TRANSFORMERS PRIMITIVE OPTIMUS PRIME Figure will be for sale during San Diego Comic-Con 2017. Following the convention, a limited number will be available on HasbroToyShop.com.


Here are the new totally radical images of the toy and set.

That is the snazziest Nucleon Quest Super Convoy has ever looked! Radical indeed!

Also, that hoverboard looks like the one Daniel rode in TFTM, but in black and yellow.

How would a Canadian not attending the show such as myself be able to buy this?

I heard Hasbro toy shop is dreadful for Canadians.

eBay scalpers? That's how I got Titan force, albeit I'm in the states but the seller was Taiwanese.

I've never used Ebay (mostly don't trust it and I barely have a paypal and only because it's linked to my debit card for purchasing off Ages 3 and up)

That Optimus is RADICAL! :KREMZEEK:

Too bad it's a SDCC exclusive, which mean the only way to get him is via scalpers.

Oh well...

You can, you have a bunch of american freinds here and part of the staff. It aint hard for any of them to get it, they just have to order it from HTS and then once they have it they ship it to you. I have done that before. This guy is far from out of reach.

The shipping aint cheap but at least you dont have to rely on e-bay. You can buy it directly from their site.

The price is ridiculously low for a SDCC exclusive, its only $50. Thats how much the regular non exclusive version costs.

To go with this exclusive. I present to you, FORT SHREDICUS MAXIMUS
A WICKED (totally safe) half pipe!

Dual TUBULAR grind rails line the outside and have RADICAL platforms for standing on between tricks!

An EPIC 360 grind pipe for INTENSE pipe riding!

And only the most talent skater can claim the [SKATER ADJECTIVE] throne at the top of the fort!

I guess there are guns too but war totally gives off bad vibes, man.

(colors and accessories may vary)

Let's hope when the time come, it will stay on the HTS site just long enough so I can buy it. It's just a bummer that it will cost me almost 50$US in shipping and taxes alone.

You have about 48 hours - 2 weeks. Depends on how desirable this figure ends up becoming. Going off of last years HTS SDCC exclusives BTW
