One of the three new Transformers toy lines is Generations, and it is headlined by the figures for the War For Cybertron Video Game. Whenever we happen to get a new Transformers brand, it also means we usually get a new incarnation of the face of the franchise. War For Cybertron Deluxe Optimus Prime looks much like any of his predecessors in previous Transformers eras. He comes with a blaster, and transformers into a futuristic tank/truck, similar to War Within Optimus Prime. TFClub has acquired the figure, and has taken several pictures of the Autobot Leader. There's shots of Optimus in both robot and alternate mode, as well as comparisons to WW Optimus Prime. Since Optimus Prime also wields an Axe, there's also shots of him wielded Animated Prime's weapon. Check out the gallery below!

You can find more images over at TFClub here.

He looks pretty good. Can't wait to see a voyager version.

There are a couple design elements I'm not very happy with but I like it overall. It has personality.

Awesome as this fig is, I have no use for another Classics Prime. I'll wait to see what repaints he bears.

I'm wondering how long this line is going to be in stores...Or if any of the figures will be exclusive to certain stores..It's going to be hard to turn this line down..I'd like to expand my classics-esque line..

You bring up a great point..How many repaints did classics prime get? I count 4( not counting takara) This fig would look sexy as a nemesis prime..

Edit..One thing though..I remember watching a video with some of the games developers and they mentioned that in the game he is reffered to as simply "Optimus"..Not Optimus prime.. He's not even the leader of the autobots yet, just a high ranking officer..I forgot who they named the leader..Just thought I'd point this out

The toy itself is 'Cybertronian Optimus Prime'

Zeta Prime is the current Prime in WFC. Optimus becomes Prime by the end of the video game, so that's why this is 'Optimus Prime'

he looks cool atleast you can remove the back kibble to make him look a little thinner and not as. . .obese

personally i think the red should have been darker

Wow, okay, THIS is how you show off a new toy. First time he's looked awesome to me, and now I want him. Dang it...

As I have said before, I can't wait for this awesome figure to add to my OP shelf (trying to get all incarnations) his look is unique compared to the rest and I am thrilled we get to see him with war within OP. That is a comparison I have been waiting for!

That's an awesome looking robot. Too bad that a) it's yet another bloody Optimus figure and b) it transforms into a lawnmower.

Cool! Can't wait to see Megatron and Bumblebee! Hopefully, they'll make Starscream, Ironhide, Ratchet, and maybe even Trypticon or Omega Supreme!

What kind of lawnmowers to you use where you live...?

And also, I really hope we get a Starscream, but more importantly, Skywarp and Thundercracker repaints of said Starscream.

Thanks for the clarification Blurrz! I wasn't 100% sure thats why I threw it out there.. :APPLAUSE:

I wouldn't say a lawnmower..more like a cybertronian Zamboni

Looking a little pink, but good. This is the first gallery that makes me feel good about the shoulders.

Man I want a gritty repaint and a Nemesis made out of this.

It hasn't been said yet, so I'm just going to say it...
I am naming this mold Batman Prime.
Look at it. Think back to Tim Burton's take on the Batmobile. You can't miss it.
IT there ever is a repaint. I really hope they don't botch it with that effed up Nemisis blue paint ap.

Yeah, you got a point there. He does look like the Batmobile. Now that my love for the figure has died because of this pic, I'm gonna kill myself :BOOM:

Nah jk, now I just gotta get rid of that awful memory

Well, I can't think of a nicer way to say this, but... screw you. :KYLE:

There. You may not need him, but I do. I ain't got a Prime to go with my Classics Voyager Megatron :-(

, and once I get him, he'll make a nice substitute while I'm hunting for the real deal. :ic$:

But, as for the repaints, I can predict the future... I see... white and blue... and the WFC Prime... and a multiplayer trailer that has a certain character... Gee, who could it be? I dunno, maybe Ultra Magnus?

, nudge, nudge, say no more!

I'm a sucker for cybertronian figures so I'll get this, but it's still a disappointment to me. The alt modes of prime and bumblebee are beautiful (esp BB) but the robot modes are severely compromised by all the kibble. Normally kibble doesn't bother me on earth alt mode figures because these are robots from outer space having to adapt to what are (to them) alien machine forms. But these cybertronian figures are supposed to be tranformers in their 'native' state, so I find it hard to believe their robot forms would be so ungainly and cumbersome - doesn't say much for robo-evolution - or, more to the point, the efforts of the toy designers). BB is far worse than prime with those massive wheels on his forearms and half a car on his back.

I'm guessing you have some kind of imagination deficit if that's the nicest way you can think of. Then again, I don't see why someone else not wanting a figure would have any bearing on your getting it. He's Deluxe Class, btw, so might be a bit small next to Megs. There is the Henkei Prime reissue though.

Yeah, (Not So Ultra) Ultra Magnus is probably a pretty good guess as to a repaint. Maybe a black Nemesis version as well. I think a new head and some green paint might make him a nice Kup.

Good thought there! Never even thought of Kup! And I do know of a reissue, but I can't exactly purchase anything off the Internet, as last time I tried that my bank account almost got stolen
