Title:
Optimus Prime With Over Run Super Con 3rd
Description:
Optimus Prime (Super-Con, 2002)
Japanese ID
number: MC-06Accessories: Left & right smokestacks.
This deluxe-size, highly-poseable version of Armada Optimus Prime is an entirely new mold, retaining the ability to tow Super Base Prime’s trailer, though he cannot combine with it. He comes with the Mini-Con Over-Run, who can transform into a gun for him, or can peg onto the Powerlinx plug on Optimus’s back to activate a double-fisted ”punching” action (that looks more like hyperactive shrugging). Like the Super Base figure, Prime has a flip down chestplate, but lacks a molded-in Matrix (though he does have a molded gap in the center where the Matrix would go, which does match the end of the show, where he’s relinquished it), and his smokestacks can be removed (and in many cases will simply fall off), but cannot peg together as a gun. Shipping in a great many waves throughout most of the later run of the line, Super-Con Optimus became a notorious pegwarmer.The figure features a minor design flaw. The forearm parts, which shift up to reveal the robot mode fists, do not lock down after being transformed, and are easily prone to falling back down due to a complete lack of tension to hold them in place.The initial release of the figure featured silver lights on his roof; later on, the lights were changed to yellow, and later still, an Autobot emblem was added to the hood of the vehicle. These changes were not made on the Japanese release of the figure, which bore the unfortunate appellation of ”STD”, meaning ”standard”. This mold was redecoed for inclusion in the Cybertron and Universe lines, as well as to create the new characters of Armada Nemesis Prime and Universe Ultra Magnus.
