Title:

Optimus Prime Fireburst Legends Missing Arms

Description:
Optimus Prime (Legends, 2009)

Japanese ID number: EZ-01

Revenge of the Fallen Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn’t inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck’s bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with Jetfire. For some reason, this isn’t mentioned in the instructions, though they’re hardly needed.Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make Darkside Optimus Prime.During the May 30 launch event for the Revenge of the Fallen toyline in Japan, Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Classes to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 12th of July, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing looking knockoff that’s been making the rounds. While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force.
