Title:
Transformers Combiner Wars Optimus Prime (Ultra Magnus)
Description:
• PART OF CMBW1
• Battle Core Optimus Prime (Voyager Class, 2015)
• 3 of 5: Optimus Maximus
• Accessories: Two blasters (combine into large rifle)
”Battle Core Optimus Prime” is a white redeco and slight retool of the previous Combiner Wars Optimus figure. According to the Hasbro panel at BotCon 2015, his new head is based on Star Convoy (see above). For some reason, his deco appears to be influenced by Nova Prime.
The figure features newly redesigned hip ratchets to make both robot and combiner mode stable, which were also installed in both TakaraTomy’s Motormaster, Grand Scourge, and a revision wave of Hasbro’s Motormaster. The pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack) attach to have also been slightly modified to provide a tighter fit, making the latter toy much less prone to falling out.
Battle Core Optimus Prime can combine with any Deluxe Class toys with the Combiner Wars-styled joint—but, of course, he is intended to be combined with Sunstreaker, Mirage, Prowl, and Ironhide to form Optimus Maximus. He can also combine with Unite Warriors Streetwise, Groove, Prowl, and Combiner Wars Rook to form White Convoy Grand Prime, as seen in the Generations Selects Special Comic promoting God Neptune.
Battle Core Optimus Prime comes packaged with a collector’s card based on his packaging art. the prototype printed on the back of the box & the stock photos, and the CG model in the instructions had him possessing a single tampographed/stickered symbol on his left arm.
He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up in the U.S. at TJ Maxx at reduced prices.
