Title:
Optimus Prime Laser 1st Carded
Description:
Optimus Prime (Deluxe Class, 2011)
Accessories: Sword.
Part of the sixth wave of the 2010 Transformers toyline, this Optimus Prime is an all-new Deluxe Class mold based on the original Generation 2 Laser Optimus Prime toy. Transforming into an International 8200 truck, he has some influences from the live-action movie Optimus Prime, including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic robot mode proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a light-piping effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab’s side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he’s part of Reveal the Shield and features a rubsign, this time on the roof. He is also very articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both ball-jointed and hinged.The original Hasbro stock photos depict him as having red paint operations on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a design flaw, inferior plastic quality, or both: Due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate 5 mm posts, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually breaking on either location thus far.This toy was redecoed into Timelines/Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and Timelines Scourge, and was retooled into Timelines/Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus.
