I can answer that:

You speak japanese right? Care to translate?

Thanks K! He looks good. I think you just sold me on him. And thanks for the shot of him with Cybertron Prime. That really shows how HUGE he is.

Will - you're right about the legs.

I'll take a guess. "Tranformers, roll out!" ?

Haha, very funny cobotron.

Looking back at the pics, I realize there is something I dont like, the feet point outward in an odd way rather than inward. Is that normal?

Also, here are some more pics of this beast!

At :50 it sounds like he is throwing up. Probably had too much fermented energon.

Try some Gary Chalk as Prime. It might expand your horizons of acceptable voice actors for robots named Optimus.

I was gonna suggest that. He works really well.

Thank goodness you chose a Cybertron clip and not one from Armada or Energon.

Though, Neil Kaplan and David Kaye are great Optimuses too, with Kaye working well as a young Optimus and Kaplan being self-proclaimed as "the George Lazenby of Optimus Primes".

Thanks to the efforts of yours truly, I got hobbysearch to carry these two hard to find items. Enjoy it while you can guys. Order now!

@ Kanrabat and wj88, I know you want these two!

Thank you Fenrir! Sure, that store is a bit more expensive than Amiami, but it's nice to have the option.

So, 2 Runabouts will be mine eventually! One to go with Takara Menasor, the other to keep sealed.

Ah yes, he is very good, thanks for the education guys. I like the metallic ring too their voice as well, I didn't realize that was something missing from my life. And the transformations were cool. I missed this series when it aired, well now I have something for my next binge watch session.

You, me and a ton of other people. I'm pretty sure the only way to get one now is to sell a kidney or your first born.

If we are putting together PRID never going happen wish list, can I add Air Vehicon?

I just got TAV21 Optimus Prime. Holy cows is he big! I knew he was going to be a bigger toy, but didn't realize he'd be THIS much bigger. He's bigger than most (all?) Leader Class toys. I might put everything else on hold so that I can knock out a gallery of him tonight. Great looking toy!

Please do tell us how you find his transformation. Also, mine have a loose left arm and a slightly loose left leg. I wont risk putting nail polish or some sh!t in there to try and tighten the joints.

Also, finnicky transformation is finnicky. With things popping in and out of pegs all the time.

Despite these minor flaws, I find it great looking and pretty fun to pose. I just need some batteries for his MILLIONS of voice samples!

Does that mean that he's around the height of God Ginrai, Star Saber, RiD 2001 Omega Prime, and Armada Super Base Optimus Prime?

Because, if so, that's awesome!

I confirm he's as tall as Star Convoy, God Ginrai, and Omega Supreme (without the weapon rack).

Wait, as in G1 Omega Supreme? He's that big? All pics I've seen of him make him look smaller than that. I didn't think he was any bigger than G1 Metroplex.

Err, I meant Optimus... supreme... something... You know, the combined form of RID Optimus and Ultra Magnus.

Ah, Omega Prime (or God Fire Convoy for the Car Robots fans).

That would be great! Since he doesnt have a release outside of Japan, there isnt as much info on him. I look forward to what you come up with for the stuff he will be carrying in his trailer.

And yes, he is bigger than all (yes all) Leader Class figures because I guess that after all he isnt a leader. Is he as big as Primus, Unicron and Cybertron Starscream (US)? Because then he would be supreme class, as Kanrabat had alluded to.

In any case, he is way past the Leader Size range:

Just a reminder that Cybertron Optimus Prime is a LEADER class figure. Furthermore, he's in his super mode here:



TAV-21 is tall, not massive. I consider him a "leader" class like Animated Lockdown is a deluxe. Both are freakishly tall, but are not that massive or heavy.

Still, make the figure well worth owning.

There's also this pic:

Yeah, the pic I posted was in reference to that. So it gives you an idea of how tall he is compared to a leader class toy.

Usual suspect toy microblogger, designer and unofficial PR agent Hisashi Yuki has been having some groovy times, running about in the wild outdoors as toys override his studio. Take a look at the mirrored images below of Takara Transformers Adventure figures TAV25 Runabout and TAV26 Override, remolds of Hasbro Legends Blackjack and Groove!
