Parts on Orion Pax match up with parts on the Optimus Prime toys we've seen. Now we know that Pax doesn't become Prime until he gets the Matrix so I think all the toys will use the Optimus Prime name since only we few, we noble few, know who Orion Pax is.

Literally says Orion Pax on the front of the Prime Changer box.

Correction, it says Orion Pax/Optimus Prime. So Optimus Prime is on the box somewhere.

My point is they aren't shying away from the name, there will be more figures with the name on it. But is it really that few of us that already know? Aside from the character arc in the G1 cartoon the name has been used in comics, later cartoons, and we've had how many proper Transforming figures now? Six? One even turns into Optimus Prime, it isn't the rare bit of trivia that it was 20 years ago.

Transformers fans online are still less than 10% of transformer fans who are less than 10% of Sci Fi fans who are less than 1% of anyone. The numbers don't lie.

What is this, 1996? 100% of Transformers fans are online. >:oP

And even if they weren't (they are) it's not like everyone has to run to TFWiki for their trivia, some people just remember things.

Problem is, that trailer made me want an Onyx Prime even more, since we got a good look at his corpse

People do tell me I have a good memory, which is ironic considering I've worked in dementia care for 27 years. Man, I was watching React the other day and they were playing guess the 80s cartoon with Gen X and I was laughing at these old people trying to remember the names of cartoons from my childhood and then remembered I look just like them. :-(

I turned 44 at the beginning of this month. I keep myself young by remembering I can't retire for another 20+ years.

That's awesome about the use of the windows again!!!

But that's hilarious that they are choosing to switch back til next year??? They should have done this change like ASAP. But I suppose they can take a loss and continue to take any and all loses between now and next year I guess with losses like missing heads and this....

Well this is awesome news none the less, I for one don't care for this line unless a diamond shines in the rough.

So I found this TODAY on my way home HasTak and this will continue between this month until that change next year. Maybe you should change to windows sooner than later...'nuff said :VEHI:

That's some really good clear plastic!

Hasbro really should rework these boxes, there's nothing on the bottom sealing them, they're just folded. You can push on the bottom of the box and it opens right up, no need to cut tape or anything.

Why is this being posted in the TFOne topic?

I did the courtesy and took the empty box to the front first stating my dismay about the Scumbags involved. But I did say I thought it was some what funny telling the clerk "at first I thought this was a Target exclusive....but I didn't see the Target logo". :VEHI:

Oh nice, I'm sure all Scumbags must thank HasTak over and over again for that! ;)^

Children . . . . .

You hold on to that pipe dream of retirement, though.

I don't have confirmation but I've seen a post that the Deluxe prime is shipping from Amazon.

I feel like I've been working a while, but I have 30 years to go till I retire. That's a whole generation.

Because the packaging for TF One was revealed and even though Hasbro had stated that plastic windows were coming back, it won't be for this line.

So we will have to continue to deal with missing heads, stolen parts, etc, for a few more months then. To go back on to clear plastic windows....this must've cost them a ton. The altered figures are usually returned for credit because of being "damaged" by the retailer. For them to go back to what is going to be regarded as an environmentally negative packaging....it must have been a pretty hefty hit.

My local Walmart have a Bee and a Skullgrin with their head removed from the packaging that they keep putting back on the pegs, no matter how many times I take them to the customer service counter. >:oP

Thanks to a post on bilibili, we now have several size comparisons for Studio Series Transformers One deluxe Optimus Prime. The toy is ready for distribution and has been acquired by fans in Asia. The comparisons below show him towering next to deluxes from over a decade ago, including from the Animated and WFC line.
