More Images of Reveal The Shield G2 Optimus Prime

I can see customisers getting him for those hands, the extra posability in them would be neat for any smaller customs.

He's so mine. I wonder if he'll eventually be repainted in traditional colors. That aside, he missed some steps in the legs.

Defo purchase, but seriously, what were Hasbro thinking when they gave OPTIMUS PRIME a rubsign?!?!?!??!?

The rub signs are have been a joke anyways, Jazz and Tracks are both get the Autobot Name treatment in their bios right on the back of the card.

Now all we need is a Toxitron deco, come on Hasbro, you know you want to!

It would beat Magnus or Nemesis at least.....

Agreed! The obvious choice but could they do that having already used the name "Scourge" for Generations without confusing people? They caould call him N'Prime and give him an RID Scourge bio, that'd work

Plus, "Nemesis Prime" would be more in line with RiD Scourge's Japanese name, "Black Convoy".

Wow. They put him in the RTS line. That takes piss-poor planning to a whole new level.

Articulation/posability is awesome. Love the head sculpt, nicely detailed for a Deluxe class. The sword is cool although the addition of a fire-arm is something that I think would have been nice too. A consistent paint job would have been even nicer since the blue/black combination with the flames redefines fugly and absolutely ruins what would otherwise have been an all around outstanding mold.

This looks pretty good. I like the idea of making a Classics styled version of Optimus Prime that has lots of elements from his Movie design. I'm still not sure if I'll get this or not, but if his sword can be held by figures with normal hands, that would make me want him more badly. My Classics Prime would look great holding that sword. I'd definitely get a Scourge repaint of this, although they might call him Nemesis Prime, since they also have G1 Scourge in the RTS series.

I plan on taking off the rub signs and replacing them with some repros. I loved the rubsigns back when I was a kid with my G1's, but not with these.....

Gah! Why, why, why?

Why must they make such an incredible-looking mold and give it such a -inducing color scheme? Idiots!

I'm so waiting for Toxitron, but I don't know if I can do it!

Am I the only one who sees a Motormaster in the design, with a different head sculpt? I am so freaking sick of every Optimus Prime being repainted as a Nemesis or Magnus. Repaint this guy as Motormaster and I might get it to stand in scale against my Classics Optimus Prime.

I will buy this prime. I may not be that crazy about it, but he will be a sacrifice to the Prime shrine. There he will stay, hardly noticed, collecting dust. Hardly noticed for his lack of awesome. The sword, cool. The wheel/leg thing is nicely done. The hands are a welcome upgrade. But overall, not wow. Nice.

Oh no! He has flames and he's more detailed than the original! Transformers are ruined forever!

I can't wait for RtS. I want this figure so bad. He's more articulated than I thought.

Easy pass.

Am i the only one that thinks that with newpaint,and a new head sculpy this would be a nice Ultramagnus?

We'd rather have something other than Magnus or Nemesis. Just saying.

Said it before, and I'll say it again, I love this guy. G2 Laser Prime was one of my favorite TFs back in the day. Between BotCon '10's G2 Set, the upcoming Club G2 Ramjet, and now this guy, I believe there's a neoG2 display in my future

I reeeeallly don't understand why half of the grill is painted over with red paint, even though you can clearly see that the whole grill piece is molded in clear orange plastic.... Sometime the paint apps can be extremely head-scratching/frustrating, and overall, this is definitely an example of that.

I love the look of thid guy!
BUY ON SIGHT!

Probably the same thing they thought when they gave him one in 1985. And again in 2006. It's just a part of the line for now. Deal with it, bros.

HFTD Dirge and Gen Dirge are both on shelves simultaneously, so who knows.

I've never liked rubsigns either. As headsortails said, you could always remove the rubsign, like I'm planning to do, and put some Reprolabels on him (who knows, maybe they'll even make an upgrade set for him).

I am the Ultra Magnus obsessed one. I can't stress it enough that we need an Ultra Magnus now, and even though I want a new mold, this mold would be perfect in my opinion.

Hey Hasbro, if you want something that won't shelfwarm like hell, why not go for...ULTRA MAGNUS?
You know you want to Hasbro.
Just do it.

With the extra room in the engine hood, they could have stored pieces of guns in there.
An Ultra Magnus repaint would be awesome, and I would pick that up for sure. I don't dig city commander Ultra Magnus... just a lil too clunky.

I would certainly pick this up as Magnus or Nemesis/RID Scourge. But I have to ask, are you CRAZY? City Commander is freakin sweet.

I don't understand the extreme awesomeness of the city commander either. I think it looks clunky too. I like my classics Magnus the way he is. I want a G1 Ultra Magnus that really looks like G1 Ultra Magnus, and I still await that very figure.

I know what it is; it's the fact that the forearm is way larger than the shoulder, and then has this huge shoulder guard, and the similar effect for the legs; Huge shins and way smaller thighs(just so that you have an idea of why I don't like it that much). Yea, If they made this into an ultra magnus, i'd like it, but i'd basically be settling until its eventually, in some 1000 years, done properly.

Nice. My only gripe is that the windshield and colors in bot mode remind me much more of Energon Prime than G2 Laser Prime.

I wouldn't be satisfied with this mold for Ultra Magnus. He desperately needs an all new mold. However, I can't WAIT for a Nemesis/Scourge repaint. I'm all for that one!

Man, this figure rocks.

It's inevitable that there'll be a third party tanker trailer for this toy.

It's a decent enough figure, but man, I'm absolutely sick and tired and fed up with that ugly gray/white plastic. That is NOT a proper color, but rather areas where Hasbro cut corners on paint apps. You see this constantly in all lines of TFs nowdays. We, the American fans and kids are not worth a few spritzes of silver paint despite what we pay for the figures.

This figure also demands to be in Voyager scale so he's at least the same size and sturdiness of the Voyager Classics Prime. I have the impression that he's going to be fiddly like Classics Galvatron.

Actually, after reading your comment his hands, i was thinking of Blurr, cause he has ball jointed hands like G2 Prime and Primes hands are blue, so not much painting would be required.

WANT! WANT! WANT! WANT! WANT! WANT! WANT! i love this guy! the sword is bad ass! now i need a stand in for G2 megs ^_^

Aside from the arm...

I know this is an old topic, but I just got to take this out of my chest. I bought RTS Optimus Prime 6 hours ago and I´ve transformed it only twice and... PIECE OF JUNK BROKED AT THE HIP!
It´s not the first toy that I´ve owned that brakes, but it is the first Transformer... I´m so angry!

Sorry for being annoying, but do you guys think I should get another RTS Prime? Is it worth it? will it brake again? What do you think?

I was thinking of getting this, too.
I'm going for a sword wielding shelf, and currently have Generations Drift and HFTD Banzaitron..

..do you think he fits the bill?

I would definitely think so... If I wasn't so choosy about having one figure per character (and already filled my prime slot with WFC prime), G2 prime is what i'd get, easily. So much character in the figure.
