Title:
Optimus Prime Shanghai General
Description:
Optimus Prime (Voyager, 2009)
Accessories: 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles
Voyager Optimus Prime is a redeco of the toy from the first movie’s toyline. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot logo on the side of the truck’s bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军” means "Shanghai General”, while "大将” means "Grand general”. The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.
The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition”, was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from e-HOBBY. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail Revenge toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the tampographed kanji lettering.
