Optimus Prime Cyberverse
Description:
Optimus Prime (Cyberverse Commander, 2012)
Series / Number: 2 / 001
Japanese release date: 2012-03-31
Japanese ID number: EZ-01
Accessories: 2 "battle cannons"
Known designers: Joe Kyde (Hasbro)
Part of the first wave of Prime Series 2 Cyberverse Commander Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller-scale toy, and features translucent plastic for his torso so that the toy can be illuminated using the electronic lights featured in the larger playsets. He comes with two translucent "battle cannon” weapons which feature multiple 3mm posts and ports, allowing them to be held by his hands, or store/mount onto numerous ports on his person. Additionally, he features a 5mm port for a trailer hitch.
The Hasbro release comes with a pack-in file card. In addition to the regular version, Optimus was also released in a special "advance release” assortment alongside Bulkhead, Megatron and Starscream, with each figure including a mini-DVD that contains the Transformers: Prime episode "Masters & Students”. Yes, all four of them come with the same episode.
Like many other modern toys, Optimus was designed with an alternate head sculpt (based on the mouthplate-less face as seen on the show) intended for a later retool, which was gang-molded with the original head. At least one specimen sporting the mouthplate-less head has been found at retail, although since this occurrence has seemingly been limited to an isolated incident, it can be assumed to be a manufacturing error rather than a genuine variant.The mouthplate-less head sculpt was eventually used officially for a later-wave redeco, Nightwatch Optimus Prime (see below).
Take note that the leg construction (thigh parts with legs consists of rear wheels/fifth wheel hitch & engine compartment/flip out legs combination) can become loose after a long time of play due to being used with transformation. Also, the legs did not seem to securely connect due to the hitch’s shallow holes & the front half of the legs’ small pegs. Also, attaching weapons with 3mm posts on the Battle Cannons’ holes can cause some stress marks.
This sculpt was later retooled to make Beast Hunters Cyberverse Ultra Magnus.
