Title:
Optimus Prime
Description:
Armored Convoy with Optimus Prime (Action Master, 1990)
Accessories: 2 Laser Guns, Galactic Pulverizer Gun Barrels, 4 Blaster Cannons, 2 Energon Exhaust Stack, Photon Bazooka
The largest Action Master set, this incarnation of Optimus Prime is a non-transforming action figure which comes with the "Armored Convoy”, a large, heavily armed tractor trailer. The cab of the truck transforms into a small jet that can seat one Action Master figure, while the trailer itself converts into a larger battle station with turrets that several Action Masters can man. The sculpt of the Prime figure itself is closely based on his character model, albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based at least partially on the small robot form of his Powermaster body. Unlike the one seen in the commercial, the final product loses paint operations of Prime’s upper legs.
The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more show-accurate color scheme and included in the Japanese-exclusive "New Year” reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in 2002. The Armored Convoy was later redecoed as the Microman: LED Powers toy Micro Trailer – sans Optimus Prime, natch – which also received two separate Lucky Draw toys as the Dark Trailer and Flame Trailer.
