Yeah, by doing this figure Hasbro has locked up the Commander class for the next dozen years with repaints of Nemesis, Shattered GLass, Dead Optimus, Toy Accurate Optimus, Random Neon Optimus, reissued SS86 Optimus, reissued Nemesis...

Hopefully we get official images soon so we can see proper details and dimensions. I don't think calling this a "mini-MP-44" is accurate, it can't be much shorter than that figure.

Then why do the gas tanks on the legs look different from the one in your image?

The headsculpt on both of those is different from the leaked picture
Backpacks are different too
So are the forearms
The legs are also clearly different
Did you send us the wrong picture by accident?
Posted by Rodimus Prime on July 4th, 2024 @ 5:22pm CDT
The whole lower leg looks different. That's nowhere near the same.william-james88 wrote:Koolerdude wrote:This is not ss86! It's just a 4th party mp44 ko! I got my hopes up there for a minute. The legs are the giveaway, not to mention the backpack.

Oh yeah, after all the Marvel continuity reveals we've gotten lately, could this be teasing a toy of the Piano-former from Maccadam's Old Oil House in the coming year?!steve2275 wrote:Sup piano prime
Yes, I know his alt was an upright, but this thread's already 60% contentious speculation...

It would kinda fit into the 13 Primes theme, as Maccadam himself was one of them.

Looks like they nailed it.
And best of all, no silver stripe on his arms! That was never a thing prior to MP-1! Not even on his 1984 toy!

Posted by Sowndwave76 on July 15th, 2024 @ 10:34am CDT
Looks solid for sure.
A little surprised, but glad it doesn’t involve any battle damage pieces/add-on’s.
Ready to preorder this!!

Looks amazing.
Can't wait to stand him next to CC Ultra Magnus and Motormaster.
Guess, Earthrise is going ion storage, make room for the real Prime.
Loving the gun metal gun, and the blast effects for the drone.
In before they reissue him in toy colors with a blue roller.

How likely are Nemesis and SG out of this? Prior Commanders have not received repaints outside of Jetfire, so.....

I won't be getting this, to me it's not better than ER, and I already preordered the 3-pack with Jazz and Mainframe. That Prime looks way better. But I'm glad we have yet another option for Prime collectors.
Bring on Megatron.

I'm conflicted on this since I *just* got ER Prime and really love him. This may be a tough sell.

Rodimus Prime wrote:Not bad. No shots from the back, to hide the backpack I guess. The truck mode looks too simple, like an enlarged core class figure.
I first thought it looked like core class as well because I was looking at the photos on my phone and the simple colour palette washed out the details.
But I think that's the point of this toy, it's meant to look like the animation model which was simple. And it's going to take extra complexity to achieve that like how MP 44 is way more complex than MP 10 to resemble more closely the simple cartoon model.

The ER mold is good, but there are too many compromises on plastic color choices and a few lacking accessories. I knew it would be replaced immediately upon seeing it. It was too far away from perfect. But I think it's an excellent choice for those who want a Prime who doesn't rely on fake parts. Especially the Takara repaint.
Posted by Razorbeast88 on July 15th, 2024 @ 2:41pm CDT
Proportions are way better than ER
Love the boxy chest and axe accessory
Headsculpt looks much better in these new pics

For me this confirms that Masterpiece is basically a dead line as Generations has stepped up and in this case, does the characters better. I hope that like MP 03 the arm of the repair bay can be used as a stand of sorts. This is as good as the figure from my preview months ago.
You've got a slightly sick sense of humor, Chuck.
And I dig it.
I've looked over these photos a lot... And sure, we haven't seen every angle. But when my one nit-pick is that I wish the antennae tapered more to points, that's a pretty good sign that we're looking at a really good figure.
Edit: I’m not calling it yet, but I could see this taking the Figure of the Year title away from Swoop…
This really does appear to be the definitive, mainline G1 Optimus figure.

Why do they keep leaving out the Diaclone mini-figure seats? Sure they wouldn't be functional but they'd be more interesting than another big boring gray box. Paint the inside of that sucker, the original was so colorful!
Emerje
The seats are there, just a bit shallow and left unpainted.
Posted by Till-all-R1 on July 16th, 2024 @ 11:00am CDT
Another aspect about this version of Prime is that because I don't fiddle with them too much nor display them in alt mode I feel as if the trailer is a wasted part which is an unneeded expense. While it's much nicer than previous one and nice that it includes roller etc. it is an "extra" that is basically in storage. Same way Rodimus Prime's is, so I'd be interested in a potential release w/o trailer if that's doable.
Posted by Overcracker on July 16th, 2024 @ 11:49am CDT
Unfortunatelly its the same matrix from the previous figures. Earthrise Prime, Kingdom Rodimus, SS86 Magnus.... I was hoping for something a little larger.
3rd parties, get on it. We need an update kit with a larger Matrix. Make it light up while you're at it.
This also means, he can't actually hold it correctly by the handles. Not sure his big honking trigger finger is even going to fit in the space there.

Hello Transformer fans!
Seems the Bot is out of the bag!
Our Friends over at Gizmodo just dropped the reveal article for SS86 Optimus Prime!
https://gizmodo.com/hasbro-studio-series-optimus-prime-transformers-the-movie-2000473908
Tomo san was an absolute wizard in bringing this figure to life at our CMD price point and I hope you all will stay tuned as I follow up with another post to answer some questions I've seen floating around.
Pre-orders go live today 7/16 @ hasbropulse at 1 pm ET.
Thank you,
-Evan
Here's the rest of the second post, and all the pics therein:
Hi Transformers fans,
I wanted to follow up to give you all a bit more info on our new SS86 CMD Optimus Prime!
Designed by the wonderful Tomo san over at Takara Tomy, this bot was a passion project.
One of my favorite design flourishes that Tomo san came up with is how he achieved matching the animated leg's curved profile. Its a very simple hinge that then allows the truck bed to go flat when you flip it over, it's brilliantly simple! I certainly love when blue robot boots are in that that shape and it really brings the animated look to life.
We set out with several "must haves" for this figure, including some extra articulation in his chest so he can clasps his hands together to deliver a final blow to Megatron. The butterfly hinges really does give him some next level posing ability.
He's about a head taller than our previous LDR Earthrise Optimus which helps him scale a lot better with our more recent figures.
He of course comes with the Matrix and is even articulated enough that he can be posed opening his chest panels.
Roller and Auto Launcher house inside the trailer who can also merge together to roll around and cause some damage. Roller can even pull the Trailer by himself if need be along with having Titan masters ride inside him.
We sided the combat deck so that it can carry a DLX carbot inside while Roller and Auto Launcher are also housed.
Lastly, if you happened to have picked up our Comic Shockwave exclusive with the Severed Optimus head included, I'm happy to show that it also fits on this Prime! albeit, a bit small as we wanted to make sure the Earthrise Prime could still transform with it attached.
Even though this is an 86 item, it was developed with the intent of being a celebration of the G1 Series 40th anniversary. I hope you all will enjoy him as his transformation is quite fun and addicting.
Thanks,
-Evan

Hard. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
