Welp, time to ask my in-laws go to looking for the Deluxe Optimus Prime. He's perfect alongside the Protoform toy from the first movie. Got the same versions for Starscream already

Is there anything special about that Optimus other than being deluxe?

Yet another MechTech Weapon. This time, it's an axe.

Apparently, Tucson is the place to be.

EDITED FOR CRAPPY SPELLING.

I think it's the same one that comes with Mudflap, haven't checked. :-P

I'm liking the Sideswipe repaint very much. And Optimus as a deluxe....finally! My son has been bugging me about him and now I can affordably buy him one! But, why do you guys get the 8.98 price, they are 9.98 here?!?!

I really want to get my hands on that Sideswipe. Although if I do, he wont be "Sideswipe" anymore. Time to start coming up with some new name possibilities :grin:

They Had the BumbleBee too, but I'm not paying over a $1 for a 2007 repaint. plus he just comes with the Wave3 DOTM Nitro BumbleBee mechtech weapon.

The Deluxe Prime's weapon is the Mudflap mechtech.

Funny enough, I went to the Target next door and found the wv3 voyagers and grabbed a Fireblade prime, arguably the best mechtech weapon this side of Japan.

I dont have any desire to own a Deluxe Prime cause I already have Deluxe WFC Prime while I dont like the colouring on that Sideswipe.To those who wants either one of em,have fun~

Dang I was hoping that this Optimus would get a better mechtech weapon instead of getting that same as Mudflaps oh well I'm still picking him up the first chance I get. And I think this repaint of Sideswipe looks more like he could pass as a Bluestreak figure or something lol.

I found Walmart Exclusive Sideswipe in Walmart once. "In another persons basket" I had to do a double take to realize what it was. At first I thought it was a wrecker that I hadn't seen on the forums yet, but then saw sideswips and the sticker for Walmart exclusive.

This guy that had it must have beat me to it by maybe 5 minutes.

$8.98 holy crap, at that price i wouldn feel ripped off for buying a deluxe.

Hopefully that strategy works for Hasbro. I'd been hating on all the various sizes they put out instead of making 2-3 sizes extremely well. I've since changed my opinion and like the idea of everyone being able to have bots to play with. I only hope they don't overproduce these and they stay warming the peg aisles like the ROTF blisters.

I still haven't decided whether I'm going to get teat Sideswipe or not, but I might. I really want that mold, and I think the color scheme's pretty cool. What I really wish, though, is that Hasbro would repaint the Sidearm Sideswipe in black with silver stripes and a silver grill, and dark purple windows (so that it would look like the repaint of HA Sideswipe, but without the ugly blue and brown in robot mode).

Are You ^&%$#@^%$ kidding me?
Deluxes here in The Netherlands cost 19,95 euro's. That's 29,17 for a deluxe, normal store prices... everywhere!
It'd be cheaper to ebay them from the US then walk to the store across the street.

I must say, Deluxe prime looks better then voyager prime. It's making my head hurt which one to get.

I'd go with that or Bluestreak until they come out with one if at all

Sorry, I try to load the BIO for Deluxe Optimus prime picture and it doesn't seem to work.

here is his bio though

OPTIMUS PRIME, The leader of the Autobots earned skill in battle, But the discovery of the Long-missing SENTINEL PRIME means he may have to share his role as commander. The Decepticons don't stand a chance with these two mighty Autobots fighting side by side

He comes with the same blade/cannon weapon from the 2007 version.

Sidearm Sideswipe has waaaaay to many transformation points on this vehicle body. Every time I pick him up he starts to come apart. The new mold is not like that, but I hate the techno grey unpainted look to him. The repaint solves that!!
