Transformers: One Studio Series "Battle Damaged" Optimus Prime Limited to 230 Revealed by Hasbro HK

Posted by Emerje Jul 23, 2024 at 10:51am CDT 77,870 views
It's been a while since we've seen an intentionally rare Transformer released, and even less common for it to be from Hasbro. No Surprise it's an Optimus Prime figure, right? As part of the 40th Anniversary celebration and ahead of the release of Transformers: One, a special "Battle Damaged" version of Studio Series 112 Optimus Prime/Orion Pax has been revealed by Hasbro HK limited to only 230 individually numbered copies globally! For Hasbro HK's part they'll be giving away 40 of them (8 per day) at Hasbro Fans Expo to people spending $3,000HKD ($384USD) in the Hasbro booth.

This isn't the only exclusive being offered. For those spending $800HKD ($102USD) they have "Transformers 40th Anniversary Commemorative Poker Cards" limited to 280 at the Expo (global number wasn't given). For those spending $500HKD ($64USD) they're giving out 280 40th Anniversary collectable coins which appear to be limited 5,000 globally. And while it doesn't appear to be exclusive, 500 sets of BotBots are being given to those that spend $300HKD ($38USD).

No word on where else these will be made available around the world, but we do have San Diego Comic Con THIS WEEKEND (Hasbro Fans Expo will be offering SDCC exclusives) so who knows? When we do we'll be sure to let everyone know and you can talk about it in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums!

I expect that TF1 Optimus to be on the secondary market the same day for a zillion rupees.

Not a doubt in my mind, especially since it isn't limited to just Transformers purchases. A person can spend a ton of money on Marvel and Star Wars with no interest in Transformers and get one.

How could they possibly make a more screen accurate Galvatron after the Kingdom release.

A bluer shade of purple?

Indeed, I think it's the gulf between the colors of his original toy and character model carrying over to Marvel and cartoon continuity respectively that makes us so often forget how his color would randomly shift from purple to a sort of pale indigo in the cartoon, since that was a comparatively subtle change. Even though light-indigo was used more throughout TF:TM, "purple" just rolls off the tongue easier, so we think of Galvy as such; therefore he's gotten way more purple toys over the years, making a light-indigo SS'86 Galvatron worthwhile, despite the sheer number of times the Kingdom mold's been repainted.

I wonder if it'll still come with all the extras like the previous releases did.

Personally hoping they pass on the two smaller guns/ships in favor of a better matrix with chain.

I think they'll give him the same one CC Prime comes with.

It would be difficult for them to remove one single accessory from that mold, better to just rework it in to the existing sprues.

ROTF Multipack revealed at SDCC, featuring SS-32 Optimus Prime, Jetfire, and (strangely) Arcee, Chromia, and Elita-1. Turns out there was only one deluxe instead of the rumored two. All figures appear to be unchanged except for SS-32, who has Energon swords instead of the blaster.

I am really surprised it's the Arcee sisters, but it's nice that Jetfire gets a second go at it.

Also, It's kinda funny, this pack has all the bots who died in RotF. So it is in a way a bit of a corpse pack itself.

BTW, a Sentinel pick for fun

2024 Announcement V4.jpg


The Studio Series September unofficial fan tournament is BACK for its third year!

This fan-run tournament was started in 2022 to take a look at our substantial roster of remaining live action characters in Studio Series and have fun talking about the ones we’d most like to see in the future! Our first tournament focused on our on-screen cast, while 2023’s season focused on concept art and characters from other screens, which ended up timing nicely with the recent additions of concept art and gamer edition in the Studio Series line! If this is your first time with the tournament, here's a look at how those first 2 years went:

This fan-run tournament was started in 2022 to take a look at our substantial roster of remaining live action characters in Studio Series and have fun talking about the ones we’d most like to see in the future! Our first tournament focused on our on-screen cast, while 2023’s season focused on concept art and characters from other screens, which ended up timing nicely with the recent additions of concept art and gamer edition in the Studio Series line!

This year we’ll be returning to a look at our on-screen characters, so only characters who appeared on screen in the live action films! To get our bracket together we need your lists of top 10 characters you’d like to see in Studio Series! To post your lists, here’s your ground rules:



RULES FOR TOP 10 LISTS

1. Live-action characters only for this list, including the 5 Michael Bay films plus Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts

2. Only characters who appeared on screen in robot mode in the actual films count for this bracket (Characters like ROTF Breakaway, ROTB Transit, DOTM Warpath, etc. are out)

3. Leaked/listed future figures are fair game! As we’ve learned, listings don’t always pan out so we’d like to show support for these characters all the way up to release! If a character on the top 16 is pipelined or revealed during the tournament, they will be removed from the bracket.

4. Redos of existing characters/designs in Studio Series will not count EXCEPT for characters who received a rerelease of an older figure instead of a new one (E.g High Octane and TLK Bumblebees, TLK Drift)

5. Remember to please be courteous and respectful in your discussion. This is just for fun!

As an example to get things rolling, here's my top 10!

1. Que (DOTM)
2. Hound (AOE)
3. High Octane Bumblebee
4. Bumblebee (AOE, Concept Camaro)
5. Hatchet (DOTM)
6. Devcon (DOTM)
7. Optimus Prime (TLK)
8. Optimus Prime (Evasion Mode)
9. Decepticon Protoform
10. Junkheap (AOE)
