Title:
Stratosphere With Optimus Prime
Description:
Stratosphere (Voyager, 2009)
Japanese ID number: RA-17
Accessories: Optimus Prime mini-figure.
Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
Stratosphere transforms into a military transport plane which is an amalgamation of a C130-Hercules for the body, a C-17 Globemaster III for the wings, the cockpit of a C-5 Galaxy and the tail of an Antonov An-225. The little (transforming) Optimus Prime mini-figure fits into the cargo hold in the aft section of the plane, and can deploy from the ramp by rotating his tail fins.
Sadly, Optimus cannot fit in the cargo hold while Stratosphere is in robot mode, so he must be gently held and cradled by Stratosphere like a tiny war machine.
The packaging indicates that his moving internal gears (Mech Alive) feature is located at his chest, but it is in fact located in his arms.
Stratosphere seems prone to breaking over time: the toy has crumbly gold plastic in his thighs and shoulders, with other commonly-reported breakages being his lower knees and the hinges connecting his wings to his shoulders (neither of those areas being constructed of gold plastic).
Stratosphere was originally going to come with a Space Shuttle accessory that would have plugged into the hole between his plane-mode wings that would serve as his robot-mode weapon. Despite making it all the way to the test shot phase, this was ultimately removed from the final production piece. The final toy still retains the hole.
