Description:
Laser Optimus Prime (Leader Class, 2022)
TakaraTomy ID number: TL-06
TakaraTomy release date: September 24, 2022
Accessories: Energon sword, Energon axe, Matrix of Leadership, blaster, repair bay, trailer
Part of the first wave of Legacy Leader Class toys, "Laser Optimus Prime” is an updated version of his Generation 2 design which transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, with deco and sculpt details most directly based on the 2006 "Battle Convoy” reissue version’s modified deco and stickers with a flame deco on the front from his 2010 Deluxe Class figure. He includes an Energon sword, an Energon axe, a new Matrix of Leadership which echoes the sticker details of the 2006 reissue, and a trailer that can transform into a battle station (tanker deco of Optimus burning down a forest not included, sadly) with a small detachable double barreled cannon. The axe and sword can store either inside the trailer or on the cab, with the sword storing underneath the rear section of the cab like the original and the axe slotting in over the trailer hitch. His signature shoulder pylons can open outwards to reveal missile pods, something the previous figures couldn’t accomplish.
Most of Laser Optimus Prime’s lower body, including his hips, thighs, the front of his lower legs (except for the shin vents), and feet, reuse elements from the Earthrise toy above whereas other details like his crotch, shins, back of the lower legs, tires, and the entirety of his upper body are brand-new. Like the Earthrise toy, the shins have the Siege figure’s trailer hitch on the outside. Laser Optimus’ trailer can be attached to Earthrise Optimus, as well as Siege Optimus, Kingdom Huffer, and Kingdom Pipes, and vice-versa the Earthrise Trailer is compatible with Laser Optimus.
Unfortunately, Laser Optimus Prime has several issues regarding its packaging. Firstly, his sword is made of rather soft plastic and may come bent in-package due to being held in the tight cardboard insert. It is also not uncommon for the tiedown over the truck nose to gradually scrape off some of his black paint during transit, revealing the red plastic underneath. Exercise caution while transforming him; As the smokestacks are painted translucent plastic, uncareful transformation may lead them to be snapped off.
The Hasbro Pulse listing for the figure has him at "G2 Universe Laser Optimus Prime” while the packaging itself merely labels him as "Laser Optimus Prime”. Optimus has no G2 symbols, only a silver G1 insignia on the left cab door.
