Title:
Optimal Optimus
Description:
Evolution Optimal Optimus (Leader Class, 2018)
TakaraTomy ID number: PP-27
TakaraTomy release date: August 25, 2018
Accessories: Evolution Armor, two cannons/clubs, Matrix of Leadership frame, Matrix of Leadership core, 2 blast shields
In accordance with his victory in a poll to choose the next Prime, Optimus Primal received a toy in Power of the Primes. Like all Power of the Primes Leader Class figures, Optimus is a small Deluxe-sized robot who combines with the armor to form a larger figure based on the "Optimal Optimus” toy from the original Beast Wars toyline. His smaller robot form transforms into a futuristic cargo ship; according to Hasbro at Toy Fair 2018, the inner robot is meant to represent his Cybertronian form.
He includes a Matrix of Leadership accessory with a removable center crystal, allowing any Prime Master to take its place. The Matrix can store in the cockpit, in reference to the Beast Wars episode "Optimal Situation”, as well as two cannons which can be held as clubs or as guns in robot mode, and they can store in the legs of the Evolution Armor in ape mode. The Evolution Armor transforms into Optimal Optimus’s gorilla mode, minus his backpack. The gorilla can ride Optimus Primal’s ship mode as a surfboard, as a callback to Primal’s Transmetal body and Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Deluxe figure. Optimus Primal can transform into a backpack for the gorilla, or combine with the armor to form a jet; the toy does not turn into the wheeled "ground cruiser” mode of the original OpOp. His two cannons can be placed next to his head, or on his chest after moving the cockpit downwards. They can also be left off and combined into a larger rifle or stored on his legs. In combined robot or ape mode, the weapons (individually or as a rifle) can be pegged into a 5mm post hole on either thumb, through there is no real way to do this that isn’t awkward due to the placement.
