:Released in the second year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|US ''Transformers'' toyline]] (first year in non-US markets), Grimlock is a slight [[redeco]] of the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Dinosaur Robo Tyrannosaurus" toy, transforming into, obviously, a robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', complete with opening jaw. Among his robot-mode weapons is a handheld spring-loaded "galaxial rocket launcher"; the Hasbro releases of Grimlock have severely weakened springs, while the Takara versions keep them at full strength.

:The original ''Diaclone'' release is ''mostly'' the same base colors, but has a blue pelvis and a chrome-silver sword. Hasbro also omitted the Diaclone driver mini-figure (though retaining the opening cockpit in the dino-mode back) and blunted its teeth [[for safety reasons]].

:In Japan, he and the other four Dinobots were offered as mail-away items during ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1992 (Operation Combination)|Operation Combination]]'' in 1990(!); Grimlock cost 2300 yen (his original retail price) and 2 [[Robot Point]]s.

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)|[[Richard Marcej]] (packaging)}}
:Released in the sixth year of the US ''Transformers'' line, the [[Classic Pretender]] version of Grimlock is much smaller, simplified and slightly modified, but still transforms into a robotic ''T. rex''. His dino tail becomes a rocket-launcher-gauntlet thing that can be held by either the inner robot or outer shell, but either way has got to be a ''bear'' to aim properly. He came with a large human [[Pretender#Toys|Pretender]] shell with a rather knight-like armor theme, with a helmet and large cannon with a blade on the barrel, which has a [[5 mm post]] on the back end, letting him hold the weapon like a sword. Unique to humanoid Pretender shells, Grimlock's shell's hands have 5mm holes at different angles; the right hand has the usual vertical hole while his left hand has a diagonal one, presumably to hold the tail cannon in line with the rest of the arm.

:His shell's head looks a lot like a younger {{w|Ed Asner}}, and also bears a passing resemblance to his voice actor, [[Gregg Berger]].

:In Japan, Legends Grimlock was available only in a boxed "Hero Set" during the [[Fight!

Grimlock was mostly unchanged from to the Hasbro release, but sported a silver painted face instead of Hasbro's orange painted one.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Grimlock was renamed from "Tiran" to "Drago", originally the Italian name of [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}
:Part of the initial assortment of carded [[Action Master]] figures released in the seventh and final year of the US line (sixth and not-final in Europe), Grimlock is a 3¾-inch non-transforming posable action figure, his design combining his cartoon model with extra toy-based detailing. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.

:He came with the [[anti-tank cannon]] "partner" machine, which he can ride, though its fairly small size makes it so he has to squat to do so, which leaves him both very back-heavy and very funny-looking. The cannon can also unfold via spring-loaded [[gimmick]] to form a really ''big'' hand-held "long-range mortar launcher", completed by plugging Grimlock's "particle beam cannon" weapon into its barrel.

:Grimlock's original toy was re-released in the European/Australian-exclusive "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]" series, with the minor change that his missiles were noticeably shortened, probably [[for safety reasons]]: about 5 mm was cut off from the tip, leaving them blunt. He is otherwise identical to the normal Hasbro release of Grimlock.

:In Greece, these releases were added to re-releases of the [[Defensor (G1)#Toys|Defensor]] and [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Toys|Devastator]] [[giftsets]].

:Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, Grimlock's original toy was re-released with minimal changes; an "AUTOBOT" tampograph was added to his right dino-flank/robot boot, and this release lacks the original toy's missile launcher and missile.

[[File:TF-G2-Turquoise-Grimlock.jpg|upright=.66|left|thumb|''(Turquoise variant pictured)'']]
:The following year, Grimlock underwent a [[variant|running change]], with his silver plastic now cast in either rich blue or turquoise (Grimlock's fellow Dinobots [[Slag (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Slag]] and [[Snarl (G1)#Generation 2|Snarl]] underwent a similar set of color changes). As the blue version is far, far more common on the secondary market, plus was the version pictured in Hasbro's 1993 [[Toy Fair]] catalog, it's a safe bet that the blue one came first, and the turquoise version was a late-run refresher that saw little distribution.

:Amusingly, Grimlock's bio give him a Rank of 10... while the concurrent release of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Optimus Prime]] had a rank of 9!

**''Accessories:'' "[[Cyber-slash tail weapon|Spinning slasher sword]]", tail-bone-sword
:The only new toy in the third wave of second-year ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxes, Grimlock is a [[redeco]] of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Toys|Dinobot]] in gray and gold with dark blue spots, transforming into a "raptor" of some variety. His tail detaches and separates to form a gear-powered, spinning blade weapon, while the central "tail bone" separates to be used as a sword. The entire assembly can store in [[robot mode]] by flipping down the tail-mount and pegging the blade's base to the peg on his lower back. He also has a "mutant mask", halves of a dino-skull that flip up to cover his more robotic head. Thankfully these pieces are not pinned in, and can be easily removed for better clearance. He was also slightly [[retool]]ed from the original mold to have ratcheting shoulders and space for an "energon chip" [[rubsign]].

:Grimlock is extra-notable for suffering from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]], making his hip-joints in particular prone to snapping off. Grim.

{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist), [[Alex Milne]] (packaging artist)}}

: For the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line, Grimlock's [[alternate mode]] was changed from a dinosaur into a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]], 1:24 scale silver {{w|Ford Mustang}} with opening doors, hood, and trunk, a detailed interior, [[rubber tires]] and a working steering mechanism. His engine transforms into a double-barreled gun, and he also carries an orange "energo-sword" which can attach to the underside of his vehicle mode. The toy is one of the most-complained-about ''Alternators'' toys, due to its notoriously finicky transformation (with many small steps that must be performed in exactly the right order) and to several pieces which have a tendency to pop off with relatively small amounts of force. And it's a Grimlock who doesn't transform into a ''Tyrannosaurus rex.

:The main difference between Hasbro's ''Alternators'' version of the toy and the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version is that the latter has its vehicle shell partially made out of painted [[die-cast]] metal parts, whereas the ''Alternators'' version is made entirely out of plastic (not counting the rubber tires). In addition, the ''Binaltech'' version's engine/gun and the wheel's rims are [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]], whereas they're simply painted silver for the ''Alternators'' version.

:This sculpt was retooled into ''Alternators/Binaltech'' [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Wheeljack]].

:*''Accessories'': Missile launcher, missile, tail/lash
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist), [[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}
:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Deluxes, Grimlock once again transforms into a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', but he has been heavily re-imagined in both modes, with his dino form designed to run rather than tail-drag (theories on the ''T. rex'' having changed from "caveman adversary" to "Carl Lewis in lizard skin" since the Generation 1 incarnation).

:This mold features a few design elements likely influenced by Grimlock's Pretender toy; his bayonet blaster is an homage to his gun/blade combo weapon from said toy, and his heavily-jointed tail detaches to become a handheld weapon as it does for the inner robot of his Pretender toy. Another similarity is the ''T. rex''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s upper-body forming the [[robot mode]] legs (though the ''T. rex'' head forms his feet this time around).

:Grimlock's bayonet blaster (dubbed the "[[Guardian Blaster]]" in his [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 13|TFCC profile]]) can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear red projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. As with most ''Classics'' toys, Grimlock features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], placed on the left side of the tyrannosaurus torso/his left leg.

:A common issue with the figure is the size of the peg that locks his arms in place being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it difficult to keep transformed. The black shoulder flaps above this assembly are meant to tab into these and lock the whole thing together, but the flaps don't align properly and the tabs themselves are too short to even reach the slots. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger and his fist holes are a few fractions of a millimeter too small to accommodate standard [[5 mm post]] accessories that most modern ''Transformers'' toys use.

:An unpainted ''Classics'' Grimlock was used at the [[BotCon 2007]] customization classes to create ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overkill (G1)#Timelines|Overkill]]. The mold was also [[redeco]]ed to make [[Grimlock (SG)#Toys|''Shattered Glass'' Grimlock]] and [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|''Universe'' (2008)]] [[Overkill (G1)#Universe .282008.29|Overkill]].

**''Accessories:'' Gun, Energo-sword
:Based upon his appearance from ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', this version of Grimlock transforms into a Cybertronic heavy tank. This transforming partly die-cast and plastic Grimlock was initially unreleased due to the cancellation of the ''Transformers'' series of ''Titanium'' toys at retail (the line would continue on for ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' at the three-inch scale). The toy was eventually released in the fall of 2008 as a Toys-R-Us exclusive, alongside the also-almost-unreleased War Within [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Prowl]].

:He includes a cannon and his trademark sword. In vehicle mode, the sword can peg onto the side of his rear treads, while the cannon can peg into the back of the cabin. The cannon has a joint on its connector so it can swivel around.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei!

As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the heat sensitive rubsign seen on the ''Classics'' release, and instead features vacuum-metalized "chromed" plastic (in a similar [[gimmick]] to the ''Beast Wars'' [[Transmetal]]s toys). The vac-metal is used on his [[beast mode]] feet, as well as the ''Tyrannosaurus'' torso, which was, oddly enough, in Hasbro's original deco plan for ''Classics'' Grimlock.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}
:Released in March of 2009, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Grimlock is based upon his original toy and cartoon model, transforming into an outdated view of the ''Tyrannosaurus'' rather than the more accurate depiction seen on ''Classics'' Grimlock. Of all the Masterpiece figures, Grimlock features both the least complex transformation, as well as the least deviation from his original toy's essential [[transformation|transformation scheme]].

:''Masterpiece'' Grimlock features the usage of [[die-cast]] metal for his dinosaur mode's toes and an LED mounted within his right fist which illuminates both his gun's barrels and his sword. As a result of said mechanism, the only articulated part of his right hand is the thumb. Similarly his left hand is modeled much like [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Masterpiece Starscream]]'s hands with the thumb and index finger fully articulated with the remaining fingers joined together. Possibly as a show of good faith regarding the sacrificed articulation, [[TakaraTomy]] designed his alternate mode's arms to be highly poseable, featuring full articulation of the claws with the arms themselves attached to the body with ball joints.

: He features many gimmicks, including the ability to change his eye color in either mode from red to blue with the flip of a switch found at the back of his head in robot mode, and by opening the top of his head in dino mode and switching the eyes around. This allows the owner the choice of representing the use of blue in the cartoon (and his IDW alternate mode) or the use of red in most other media, including his original toy. His tail is connected to his head, and by wiggling and moving it, the head rotates at the base of the neck. Pushing down on his torso in dinosaur mode makes his legs move up higher into his body, and as a result his head will look up. His alt mode's head features jaws that snap shut at the press of a button hidden on his cheek; in addition, it also has a tiny sculpted flame thrower in its mouth, but [[for safety reasons|for your safety]], it does not actually breathe fire (boo). Besides his weapons, he also comes with a cloth apron and bow tie to go with a drinks serving tray he carried in "[[Madman's Paradise]]", as well as the device he used to transfer his super-intelligence into [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] in "[[Grimlock's New Brain]]".

:When he was reissued, he came with a crown redecoed from the King Grimlock release and a new flame attachment to go over his sword.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-8X'''
**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, crown

:King Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with a color scheme based on his appearance in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Generation 1 Marvel comic]]. All of his previously flat gray surfaces are coated in silver paint, his gold chrome is more vibrant, and his previously black plastic is now a dark blue in reference to the limited color palette of the Marvel Comics issues, and the colorless chrome used for his tail and arms is now a light blue chrome. He also features some different paint applications: on his dinosaur chest, inside the clear panel on his robot mode chest, and on his robot mode knees. In addition, his toes are now metallic yellow instead of metallic gray. He also lacks the faceplate paint of the original Masterpiece Grimlock. His sword is also tinted orange rather than neutral clear, and the clear panel on his chest is clear dark green plastic instead of neutral clear. Curiously what were the red eyes in dinosaur mode on the original ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock are now the blue eyes on King Grimlock, and the blue eyes are now the red. The product also features the crown worn by Grimlock in the comics instead of the accessories from the cartoon, such as the waiter apron or the glasses. The [[package art]] is drawn in an homage to the early style of ''The Transformers'' published by Marvel Comics, as well as a bilingual ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' style [[bio]] on the back of the package.

:King Grimlock was only available via [[TakaraTomy Mall|Toy Hobby Market]], the official shopping site of TakaraTomy. Pre-orders were open through [[July 31]]st through [[September 11]]th 2009, with the toy shipping out in December.

{{note|''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Grimlock (WFC)#Generations|Grimlock]] was repurposed as Generation 1 Grimlock by ''Transformers Legends''.}}

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Grimlock transforms into a robotic ''[[Popular beast alternate modes|Tyrannosaurus rex]]''. He comes with a sword with a [[5 mm post|5mm handle]] and a peg on either side of the hilt, as well as a shield which can mount via its single peg. Grimlock features 5mm ports for his hands, as well as on his forearms/lower dino legs and shoulders/dino hips. Interestingly, the hollow sides of his dinosaur arms feature [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]-compatible [[C joint|3mm ports]].

:His main [[gimmick]]s, however, are that he has a light in his dinosaur mouth, and a chomping dinosaur jaw. When a lever behind his dino head is pulled, his mouth opens, and the light turns on, strongly illuminating his head. This gimmick can also be used in robot mode, as his dino head ends up inside his hollow chest, although it's not as effective. The [[insignia]] on his chest is the Lightning Strike Coalition variant of the Autobrand.

:This toy was [[redeco]]ed for all the other versions of ''Fall of Cybertron'' Grimlock, but was also used for ''Age of Extinction'' [[Grimlock (AOE)#Voyager Class toys|Grimlock]].

**'''24 OF 30'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[2014]]-[[August 3|08-03]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia, this ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]''-branded two-pack features "1984 Grimlock" in the form of a Generation 1-inspired redeco of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Grimlock (Energon)#Toys|Grimlock]]. The toy is slightly retooled to give it [[5 mm post|5mm ports]] in its hands, allowing it to hold the included redeco of [[Razorclaw (G1)|Generation 1 Razorclaw]]'s sword (not pictured in stock photography). Undocumented in the instructions, he can be combined with ''Energon'' [[Swoop (Energon)#Toys|Swoop]] to form an inter-continuity version of [[Mega-Dinobot]]. As an Evolution 2-Pack, Grimlock was packaged alongside an ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#TRUEvolution|Grimlock]] toy.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, shrunken character renders for both Grimlocks, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release. The sword is also packaged on the center of the bubble, instead of hiding underneath it. This figure was also the first release of the [[Grimlock (Energon)#Toys|''Energon'' Grimlock]] mold in Japan.

He retains the mace accessory, and its head, or the entire weapon, can be attached to Grimlock's dinosaur mode tail. Grimlock was packaged with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#SDCCDinobots|Strafe]], [[Snarl (G1)#SDCCDinobots|Snarl]], and [[Slag (G1)/toys#SDCCDinobots|Slug]], and their box unfolds into a diorama of the crashed [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] in [[Mount St. Hilary]]. A similarly-themed toy of [[Slog (AOE)#Amazon|Sludge]] was released via Amazon in ''Age of Extinction'' packaging.

*'''Grimlock''' (Legion, 2014)

:Part of the Generation 1-inspired 2014 Legion Class assortment, Grimlock is a redeco of ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Rippersnapper (Prime)|Rippersnapper]], and transforms into a vaguely shark-like dragon, although his package art, recolored from the [[:File:MTMTE8 cvrRI.jpg|RI cover]] of [[Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|''More than Meets the Eye'' #8]], and the Hasbro website product description would have you believe that it's a mechanical ''T. rex''. Being the sixth use of the sculpt, it's starting to show instances of [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]], as several sections (such as the tabs that hold the robot mode torso together, or the parts of the beast mode neck formed by the robot mode feet) don't fit properly anymore.

:In the United States, Grimlock has thus far been found at Big Lots and Family Dollar stores. In Australia and Europe, he is available at general retail again, just like the previous [[wave]] of Legion Class figures. In 2015, he was re-released in redesigned packaging now resembling the currently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''' packaging template, but replacing the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers".

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] on the back of the packaging depicts him with ''Beast Hunters'' Cyberverse Commander Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BHCyberverse|Optimus Prime]]'s sword, which is also listed as an accessory in the Hasbro website product listing for this toy. The actual toy doesn't include a weapon. Furthermore, the [[instructions]] printed on the back of the packaging of the 2014 release are completely inaccurate, as they are for an [[Grimlock (AOE)#WalmartENmold|entirely different "Grimlock" toy]]! (This was fixed for the 2015 release.) Even if the instructions ''had'' been accurate, they probably wouldn't have mentioned that Grimlock can also form a leg of [[Abominus (Prime)#Beast Hunters|Abominus]] (or a combiner of his redecoes).

:*''Accessories'': Sword, crown

: Released in the fourth year of the ''[[Kre-O]]'' building-brick line, the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]]''-themed "Grimlock Unleashed" set actually features a "Generation 1"-design large dino-mode Grimlock build. This massive beast uses multiple ball-and-socket joints to give it quite a range of posability, but unfortunately the build is a bit too heavy to keep any poses that aren't upright tail-dragging ones, plus his head is prone to drooping due to the weight of his skull in any position. The uneven and not-super-secure builds of his dino feet do not help.

: You could probably rebuild it into a robot mode, but there is no large pre-made Grimlock head to top it off, so you'll have to get creative or add more bricks to the set.

: The accompanying Grimlock [[Kreon]] is also based on the original [[The Transformers (toyline)|''Transformers'']] [[#The Transformers|Grimlock toy]], and even comes with an extra "crown" piece to place on his little rounded noggin, in tribute to his stint as Autobot leader in the Marvel comics. All of the other Kreons in the set, however, are based on their ''Age of Extinction'' namesakes.

: This set popped up at [[Toys"R"Us]] a few short weeks after the initial product without any advance warning... and retailed for a mere $25, despite the size of the set.

: [[Kreon Class of '85]] Grimlock's deco is very much toy-based, but is ''not'' the same deco as the "Grimlock Unleashed" deco seen above. Which one is more "accurate" is kind of a toss-up, really. Weirdly, he ''doesn't'' use the Kreon sword that was based on the actual original Grimlock sword design, but does gain a toy-like twin-barreled blaster accessory.

: Like the rest of the set, he uses the almost-totally-[[retool]]ed 2015 style of Kreon body, making most of his parts incompatible with older Kreon parts.

: This box set of thirty Kreons was a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015 [[exclusive]], with leftovers being sold on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online after the show.

: Part of the first series of "Battle Changers", released in the line's fifth year, Battle Changers Grimlock as a core Kreon torso and head, but his limbs and backpack are massively bulked up, which allows him to transform into a really badly-proportioned ''T. rex'' without removing any parts! His appearance is reminiscent of his Generation 1 counterpart, while the deco is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart's toys. Like all of the Battle Changers, Grimlock uses a new hip piece using larger balljoints than the normal Kreons. He also comes with a weapon that, once stickers are applied, resembles the sword used by ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (video game)|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], and can be wielded by his C-joint hands.

: All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.

* '''Electronic Grimlock''' (Electronic Action, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''18'''
**''Accessories'': Twin-cannon, left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles, left & right gun-pods, large rifle, flame-blast

: Part of the first (and only) wave of Electronic Action ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Grimlock is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints... and considerably larger than any other figure in the line at that. His design is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart, but also takes some cues and the coloration from the Generation 1 version of the character. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head, forelimbs, thighs, lower legs, and tail, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His large size is augmented by a large number of accessories and gimmicks. The signature electronic aspect is a light-up mouth, used to illuminate his "flame blast" accessory, or any other transparent accessory you care to stuff into his gaping maw. He also comes with two spring-loaded missile launchers.

:Part of the ''Generations [[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' Dinobots 5-pack, Grimlock is a redeco and retool of [[Grimlock (AOE)#Voyager Class toys|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Grimlock]], sporting a Generation-1 inspired deco and a head. This release also suffers from a small degree of mold deterioration: the ''T. rex'' heels that connect with his forearms and the shoulders/''T. rex'' upper jaw halves seemed to connect loosely.

:Grimlock was bundled with Slug, Slog, Snarl, and Strafe.

: This set was initially released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Canada in October 2015, followed by Singapore a month later (although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular store there or not). Much later, it became available via the Australian Toys"R"Us website (but never found in stores). In the United States, it was initally only available online via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[BigBadToyStore]] before being found at discount chain Ross a year after its intial release in Canada.

*'''Grimlock''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion class figures, this Voyager-sized mold of Grimlock transforms from robot to dinosaur and back. The figure has a far greater range of articulation than many other Cyber Series figure to date. A small switch on the back of his beast-mode head moves his jaw up and down.

:This version of Grimlock is a unique amalgamation of three versions of the character; the robot mode head, torso, and transformation scheme take cues from [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Warrior Class|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' Grimlock]], the coloration is borrowed from [[Grimlock (AOE)#Toys|the toys of the live-action movie Grimlock]], lastly the styling and (scientifically outdated) stance of the dinosaur mode resembles the classic G1 Grimlock look.

:Like all of the ''Cyber Series'' figures, Grimlock initially did not get distribution in the United States, but has been reported showing up in Asian markets and was also solicited to South America. Toy importers did stock this series in a limited capacity and they sold out quickly in 2015 and effectively disappeared at that time. The line was later distributed in larger quantities by [[Walgreens]] stores in parts of the United States.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Titan Master]]s, Clobber is a retool of [[Squeezeplay (G1)#Titans Return|Crashbash]] and transforms from a robot into a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger figure in the line. Clobber features a new head piece based on Generation 1 Grimlock's animation model. [[Hasbro]] stated at [[BotCon 2016]] that Clobber ''is'' Grimlock himself, leaving the reasons for his name unclear, but some kind of attempt to avoid confusion with the contemporaneous ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|character]] seems a likely explanation. Clobber features peg holes in his feet to allow him to stand on a variety of ''Titans Return'' figures, and is packaged with a beast accessory with three modes: a dragon for Clobber to ride, a ''T. rex'' formed by combining with Clobber, or a 5mm-compatible gun for larger figures. His new face piece was molded in black plastic, rather than gunmetal. Clobber gives his larger partners super strength.

:As with Crashbash, Clobber's instructions feature the same error for steps 6(5)-8(7).

:The beast accessory released with Clobber also has more than a passing resemblance to [[Snarl (G1)#AM|Snarl]]'s [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Action Master partner]] [[Tyrannitron]], though, whether this was an intentional nod or just pure coincidence, is yet to be seen.

:This toy also doubles as the independent ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Clobber (BWU)|Clobber]].

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Dinobot Grimlock" transforms into a very Generation 1-inspired, wide-hipped robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. He can combine with his fellow Dinobots to form [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Toys|Volcanicus]] and can attach any ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figure. Like the other Dinobots in this subline, he features translucent plastic with gold paint on the inside to give him a 'layered' look reminiscent of [[#Generation 1|his original toy]]. He also includes two pieces of Prime Armor that each can hold a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]] (and by extension, an [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]] or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and attach to his forearms as battle claws. These also double as feet for Volcanicus. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Grimlock includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the ''Dinobot Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to him via the previously mentioned Prime Armor. In beast mode, he can carry an Enigma, Matrix core, or Prime Master ''in his mouth'', where Volcanicus's chest would be. If you're particularly creative, you could place a Matrix in his mouth.

: Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Grimlock is inspired by the [[#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' figure]], which hybridized the look of his appearance in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] and his [[#The Transformers|original 1985 toy]], while sporting multiple aesthetic details unique to the ''Masterpiece'' toy. His blaster stores on his dino-mode back thanks to a pair of small tabs on the weapon. It can also be attached to his ''T. rex'' arms using the slot on the top of the blaster. Strangely, he is missing all of his front dino teeth.

: Grimlock has a number of design elements shared with the concurrently-running ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' (which have continued to feature in the followup line ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]''). The figure was designed with the Trilogy's concerns for cartoon-based scale in mind, making him the tallest Leader Class figure in the format at the time. On top of that, he has numerous [[5 mm post]]-holes all over his body, making him compatible with [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] toys. He also has [[Fire Blast effect]] posts on the ends of his blaster's barrels and on the inside of his dino-mouth so he can properly spew plastic flame, though the size of the blast effects that can be used are limited by the peg being placed rather high vertically within said mouth.

: He also comes with a semi-posable, non-transformable figure of [[Wheelie (G1)#Studio Series|Wheelie]], designed to ride the Dinobot in both modes. In dino mode, small posts at the base of Grimlock's neck slot into grooves in Wheelie's ankles, securing the little Autobot in place. In robot mode, holes in Grimlock's shoulders match up with a peg on the back of Wheelie's left thigh, letting him sit there securely.

: Grimlock's colors were subject to multiple changes during development (see right). Physical samples were not shown on the [[October 16]]th [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] due to in-progress color changes by [[TakaraTomy]]. The original renders shown at the time had yellow parts, a clear chest panel, and an opaque dino neck, evoking the Generation 1 cartoon model. [[Hasbro]] stock photography somewhat reflected this, but the dino neck was made translucent-yellow instead to reveal inner details, much like the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]]. In the end, the final toy (used in TakaraTomy stock photography) featured gold paint instead of yellow, a translucent-black chest panel instead of clear (both of which closer evoke the original toy), and an opaque gold dino neck. The neck halves are still molded in the same translucent-black plastic used on his chest panel, meaning one could remove the gold paint from the parts to restore the more toy-accurate look.

: Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the Dinobots' famous (ahem) ''self-invited'' entrance at [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s execution.

: A sword intended for use with this mold, based on the original toy's, was eventually included with ''Studio Series'' [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Swoop]].

: According to TakaraTomy designer [[Shogo Hasui]], the alternate head created with this mold was that of fellow Dinobot [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]; as the only ''Studio Series'' Dinobots initially assured for release were Grimlock and [[Slag (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Slag]], the alternate head gave them an option for a "better than nothing" retool.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/synergenex-series.1267120/page-33#post-22639704 Shogo Hasui interview], p89 of [[Transformers Generations 2023]]</ref> When Sludge turned out to get [[Sludge (G1)#Studio Series|his own dedicated toy]], the alt head for Grimlock found a different use, explained below.

: Grimlock was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Grimlock (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Grimlock]], ''Toxitron Collection'' G2 Universe Grimlock (below), ''Generations Comic Edition'' Grimlock (also below), ''Age of the Primes'' G2 Universe Grimlock (once again below), and retooled with the alternate head into ''[[Synergenex]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Synergenex|Megatron Type Godzilla]]. It was ''almost'' going to be retooled as a ''Legacy'' release of [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] until the success of his [[Star Saber (G1)#Legacy|nemesis']] [[HasLab]] campaign prompted the Decepticon Emperor of Destruction to be moved to be another [[Deathsaurus (G1)#Legacy|Haslab funded project]].

: Grimlock and Wheelie were [[Package refresh|reissued]] in the third ''Studio Series'' Leader Class wave of [[2025]]. The packaging did not come with the diorama of the original release.

{{toydesigner|[[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

:Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' "Maximal Grimlock" is a retool of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Generations|Dinobot]] from the same line, transforming from a robot mode based on Dinobot's ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon appearance into a ''[[Jurassic Park]]''-accurate ''Velociraptor'' in 28 steps. Grimlock features a new head based directly on Grimlock's (and therefore, Dinobot's) original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' figure. Grimlock's hands have a [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] that can hold both his weapons and can close to hold objects. He also has 5 mm ports under his heels and one under his back-[[kibble]]. His tail can detach and split into two components: his Cyber Slash tail weapon, and his sword. If one chooses to, the 5 mm port on the hand or the hand's swivel joint can allow the Cyber Slash weapon to spin in his hand. The sword's tip is molded with the same texture as Grimlock's skin, presumably to better blend in as the tail tip in beast mode. Due to the Cyber Slash weapon connection, the sword cannot be held by other Transformers toys with traditional 5 mm port hands. The Cyber Slash weapon can store in robot mode by attaching to the same port as beast mode.

:Oddly for a modern ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' figure, Grimlock's ''Velociraptor'' mode features a deco that strays from the original ''Beast Wars'' toy and ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' [[Grimlock (Dinobots)#Toys|Grimlock]]'s decoes and includes some particularly odd choices like leaving the fake "eyes" on the chest unpainted, but painting exactly ''half'' the knee section white, despite that portion being mostly concealed in beast mode.

:And in what can be considered a surprise, Grimlock is mentioned in Hasbro's official description for the figure to be inspired by the character's appearance in ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]''!<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-battle-across-time-collection-deluxe-wfc-k40-autobot-mirage-maximal-grimlock "Beast Wars: Uprising-inspired Maximal Grimlock toy converts from robot to raptor mode in 28 steps"]</ref> Even though his [[Beast mode#Beast Wars: Uprising|Beast Upgrade]] appearance was never shown.

:The nylon plastic used for Grimlock's shoulder joints, thigh joints, and forearms has been reported to yellow quickly over time.

:Revealed on [https://www.instagram.com/p/COvYKODJgGf/ #TransformersTuesday], Grimlock was released with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Mirage]] as a part of the "Battle Across Time Collection". Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers. Initially set for a [[January 29]], [[2022]] release by TakaraTomy, the 2-pack was delayed to March 2022.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Core Class toys, Grimlock is a miniature version of the famous Dinobot leader, converting into a blocky ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Part of his beast mode tail detaches to become a twin-barrelled gun in robot mode. Grimlock also forms the left leg for Volcanicus, the first combiner released within the Core Class scale. He's probably disappointed at not forming the torso... Similar to how [[Goryu (G1)|Goryu]] is the leader of the [[Dinoforce]], but only forms the left leg of [[Dinoking]]. Hmmm... Like Snarl, the underside of Grimlock's crotch features an H-shaped-ish port, most likely used for a foot panel like Monstructor/Dinoking does.

: Due to being connected with the frame that holds the dino body/arms and head, the combiner knee joint may cause it to bend up due to how (slightly) tight the construction is. While Grimlock's combiner peg can be attached to either of the thighs, he is ''only'' designed to attach to the left side, given the joint's placement, and the cavity on Grimlock's left robot foot providing clearance on the gestalt's thigh panels (the left half of Sludge's robot legs/rear tail).

: His stock photography is mistransformed, the legs can flip around to form a better-looking tail, reducing the amount of kibble hanging off his back section.

===Robosen Collector's Edition===
[[File:RobosenFlagshipGrimlock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Grimlock Auto-Converting Robot''' (2023)
**''Accessories:'' carrying case, galaxial rocket launcher, energon sword, crown, wall charger, USB-C to USB 2.0 cable, [[collector coin]]

:The third entry in [[Robosen]]'s series of G1-style ''Transformers'' robots, this Grimlock is a highly-interactive, programmable transforming robot. Made with 85 microchips, 37 servo motors, and a 6-axis IMU, and capable of speaking over 150 voicelines (all newly-recorded by [[Gregg Berger]]), Grimlock straddles the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics" like the other Robosen robots... though it ''definitely'' leans more towards the latter, given that Robosen not only touts Grimlock as "The World's First Dual-form, Bipedal Walking Robot," but his regular asking price is also an absurd '''$1700'''. Using either voice commands or a companion iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, users can control Grimlock's movements by either using pre-programmed commands or creating movement routines of their own. From an aesthetic perspective, on the other hand, this Grimlock is essentially a 15" tall upscale of his Masterpiece figure, down to various sculpted details that were seemingly recreated 1:1.

:Grimlock is primarily powered by an internal lithium ion [[battery-powered motor|battery]], charged via a USB-C connection. Based on [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robosen Collector's Edition|Optimus Prime]], the LEDs for Grimlock's Galaxial Rocket Launcher and "energon sword" are likely powered by a replaceable CR 1220 3V battery.

:Like Optimus Prime before him, the voice command that triggers Grimlock's transformation is officially "[[convert]]", but "transform" works just the same. All told, Grimlock has 42 built-in voice commands he can respond to, from simple movement commands like turning left or right to actions like leaning forward and roaring in dino mode. Carried over from Robosen's [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Robosen|Bumblebee]] is "mini-theater" mode, a selection of longer pre-programmed action sequences with matching sounds, with sequences featuring Grimlock either by himself or with other Robosen G1 robots available to pick from. Considering that Robosen continually rolled out new commands and firmware updates for Optimus Prime for months after his release with no clear end date, Grimlock will more than likely receive additional commands for some time after his release.

:37 servo motors is definitely a ''lot'', but that effort was more so put into ensuring Grimlock can transform and remain balanced while doing so – compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing ''over a thousand dollars less'', Grimlock's robot mode lacks basic neck and wrist rotation, and his legs are incapable of rotating such that his feet can point any direction other than straight forward. Dino mode likewise has a notable sacrifice: while his ''T. rex'' neck can rotate a bit to the left or right and his head can look up and down, this comes at the cost of no arm articulation whatsoever.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Grimlock is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:Sadly, Grimlock shares the same inability to stand in robot mode without power as Optimus Prime – when turned off, Grimlock will lean forward and rest his robot arms and legs on the ground. Dino mode fares better, as he ''will'' stay standing up when he's powered off... but as his joints have now gone limp, he's liable to tip or slouch at the slightest bit of disturbance, so if you do decide to put him on display in this mode, make sure he's somewhere ''very'' stable.

:Grimlock's pre-programmed animation set assumes his rocket launcher is in his right hand and his sword in his left. There aren't any sensors to detect whether they and/or the crown are in place, so it's best to avoid, say, <s>transforming</s> converting Grimlock while they're in place. On a lighter note, Grimlock is capable of wearing the crown in both modes, meaning it no matter whether he robot or dino – Grimlock always king!

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences (if Optimus Prime is anything to go by, at least), such as a head nod or a full mode conversion.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Grimlock's knuckles and feet will almost certainly instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users of Optimus Prime have reported toppling issues due to a lack of traction. Grimlock ''is'' designed to be more stable thanks to his IMU, but heed caution all the same.

:Grimlock was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on July 19, 2023, with orders set to ship out from both Pulse and Robosen's own online store in late Fall 2023. When revealed, Grimlock was made available at a special introductory price of $1500 which lasted until September 30.

The figure comes in a display box featuring the cover of "[[Repeat Performance!]]." Grimlock includes [[Dinobot Crown of Leadership|his crown]] from the comic, as well as a set of three swords. One sword is based on Grimlock's original toy sword, and incorporates the chipped blade which only [[José Delbo]] drew. (Of note, this sword is a completely different tooling than the sword intended for ''Studio Series'' Grimlock that is available with ''Studio Series'' Swoop. It's considerably smaller and has different detailing, and then of course there's the chipped blade.) The other two swords are intended for the ''[[Studio Series]]'' releases of [[Sludge (G1)#Studio Series|Dinobot Sludge]] and [[Slag (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Dinobot Slug]], who do not come with swords.

:In an undocumented (and unintentional) feature, the crown can be stored securely in dino-mode by placing it inside the tail strategically oriented between the blue inner shin struts.

*'''Grimlock''' (unreleased)
:*''Accessories:'' Autobot stand?
:The final ''[[Titanium Series]]'' catalogue listed a number of "Micro Figures" intended for release, though many of them never saw the light of day. Right at the end of the checklist, after a number of current and (supposedly) upcoming 3" Robot Master toys, was Grimlock's name, with no further information or disambiguation. Was he to be a repaint? A new ''[[War Within (comic)|War Within]]'' or ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' mold? Or was his name just a typographical error? This is just one of life's great mysteries.

*'''Grimlock''' (2022)

:[[XM Studios]]' statue of Grimlock is nearly 40" tall, made of hand-painted porcelain. Grimlock has [[LED|light-up eyes]] and comes with alternate sets of arms that allow him to brandish his signature sword, gun, and... giant spiked mace? The mace and some of the color and detail choices on this statue suggest it mixes elements of both the G1 character and his [[Grimlock (AOE)|live-action movie counterpart]]. The set also includes a sculpted representation of Grimlock's dino mode that can be displayed next to the robot.

:399 pieces were produced, with a suggested price of about $1,900 US.

:Released in the second wave of the ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Grimlock is a snap-on model kit of his dinosaur mode. He stands slightly shorter than other figures in the line and has fewer accessories (no alternate hands, no stand), but in exchange, he gets three transparent white [[Energon cube]]s. His build is, fittingly, quite different from the rest of the figures in the line, necessitating almost half a page of the instruction sheet. He was available at a rate of 1/12 figures.

:Dino Mode Grimlock features a torso with tiny arms that can transform by splitting in half, which also serves as the backpack for his robot mode kit below.

:Strangely, the instructions and promotional shots show his legs as being assembled backwards, with the knees bending backwards, but the front of the box (which prominently features Grimlock) has them the normal way around. Fixing this is trivial - simply rotate the knees and feet.

:The line's secret figure is a redeco of Dino Mode Grimlock with extra accessories based on the episode [[Grimlock's New Brain]] and a shiny metallic finish. One of the new accessories is his helmet (here called the Wisdom transfer device) albeit without the hose, and the other is the fish from the end of the episode. Additionally, he has red eyes instead of the normal blue. He was available at a rate of 1/36 figures.

:This Secret Grimlock shares the misassembled legs of his normal version, although there's no shots of him with them the right way around on the packaging. However, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s6n-9mgQM0 this official short] from the Blokees YouTube channel has them on the right way (note the red eyes and metallic finish!).

: The Swoop backpack on Grimlock '''''may''''' be loosely referencing [[Mega-Dinobot]] from ''Energon'', given that their respective incarnations were able to combine.

:Released as part of the second wave of [[Blokees#Shining Version|Shining Version]] (dubbed Shining 1985), Grimlock is a redeco of his above robot mode figure. He has modified paint detailing (including on his forearms, crotch, and legs), his chest is now cast in a transparent orange, but his most notable new feature is that his inner skeleton's torso lights up (by shaking it or at least flick onto one of his torso parts), illuminating his eyes and chest. In addition to this slew of changes, he features two translucent eye parts (both toy and cartoon-based) for the builder to choose from, and comes with an [[Energon cube]] in pink and his iconic Energo Sword, reused from the ''Galaxy Version'' Slag kit. He was available at a rate of 1/6 figures.

:Although the construction seems to be a one-way method, the eye parts can be swapped. However, as the head's connection is fairly tight upon assembling, this can be modified by reducing the length of the pegs on both the head and the visor, making it easier to pry them apart.

While everything else is molded in ABS plastic, certain pieces are made out of "2.5x density" Solidex to evoke the feeling of die-cast cars like [[Hot Wheels]]. Grimlock uses the same universal Chassis Connector as the rest of the lineup, and he also features an opening/closing canopy to allow the chase kits' driver figures to sit inside the cockpit.

==Notes==
{{twoimages|File:G2GrimlockArtwork.jpg|File:G2RamjetVSGrimlockArt.jpg|thumb|w1=150|w2=225|caption=Heavy Metal Greymon.}}

* Grimlock was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "[[:File:DiacloneGrimlock.jpg|Dinosaur Robo Tyrannosaurus]]". The only differences between this incarnation and the ''Transformers'' release are that the ''Diaclone'' version has a silver-chromed sword and a blue crotch piece rather than red, as well as coming with a green-and-black Diaclone pilot figure.
* The original ''Diaclone'' commercial for the mold that became Grimlock showed him spewing fire from his mouth. So much for truth in advertising!
* There is (or ''was'') [[:File:Grimlock Natural History Museum.JPG|a Grimlock toy]] placed in the showcase in the dinosaur section of the {{w|Natural History Museum}} in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]; oddly, this doesn't make him the [[Slag (G1)|only one]]. Sadly, however, he has since been removed from the display. Boo!
* Despite being released in three different color schemes during the ''Generation 2'' toyline, a piece of recolored card artwork—seemingly from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee—surfaced on [[eBay]] in the early 2000s (alongside recolored artwork of [[:File:G2SwoopArtwork.jpg|Swoop]] and [[:File:G2SludgeBoxart.jpg|Sludge]]), showing what may have been an intended fourth version of the Grimlock toy for that line. In 2020, the "tiger Grimlock" color scheme reappeared battling [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] on a piece of unused ''Generation 2''-era promotional art sold by Heritage Auctions (stated by them as being made for a book, but possibly intended as art for a puzzle given its dimensions), solidifying its legitimacy. The deco would eventually delight fans when it came to fruition on "Toxitron Collection" Grimlock in [[2023]].
* [[T-Wrecks]] may have been intended to be a new form for Grimlock, based on the references in his tech spec bio to his ''Beast Wars'' "Attack Specialist" function and other hints. However, T-Wrecks' appearances in the [[3H Productions]] ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe: The Wreckers]]'' comics suggest he is a new, unrelated character.
* A working name for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Ford Mustang mold which ultimately ended up as Grimlock was "[[Freeway (G1)|Freeway]]", according to various early store listings.
* The [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] toy released in the [[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|''Energon'' toyline]] was originally created by [[Hasbro]] for release as a special new-mold addition for the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'' toyline]], and was intended to represent Generation 1 Grimlock. However, it wasn't and it didn't for the combination of budgetary concerns and keeping the combination gimmick (since he combines with the packed-in [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]] to form "[[Mega-Dinobot]]") only in the ''Energon'' toyline, which had combination as a central theme.

:Released in the second year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|US ''Transformers'' toyline]] (first year in non-US markets), Grimlock is a slight [[redeco]] of the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Dinosaur Robo Tyrannosaurus" toy, transforming into, obviously, a robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', complete with opening jaw. Among his robot-mode weapons is a handheld spring-loaded "galaxial rocket launcher"; the Hasbro releases of Grimlock have severely weakened springs, while the Takara versions keep them at full strength.

:The original ''Diaclone'' release is ''mostly'' the same base colors, but has a blue pelvis and a chrome-silver sword. Hasbro also omitted the Diaclone driver mini-figure (though retaining the opening cockpit in the dino-mode back) and blunted its teeth [[for safety reasons]].

:In Japan, he and the other four Dinobots were offered as mail-away items during ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1992 (Operation Combination)|Operation Combination]]'' in 1990(!); Grimlock cost 2300 yen (his original retail price) and 2 [[Robot Point]]s.

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)|[[Richard Marcej]] (packaging)}}
:Released in the sixth year of the US ''Transformers'' line, the [[Classic Pretender]] version of Grimlock is much smaller, simplified and slightly modified, but still transforms into a robotic ''T. rex''. His dino tail becomes a rocket-launcher-gauntlet thing that can be held by either the inner robot or outer shell, but either way has got to be a ''bear'' to aim properly. He came with a large human [[Pretender#Toys|Pretender]] shell with a rather knight-like armor theme, with a helmet and large cannon with a blade on the barrel, which has a [[5 mm post]] on the back end, letting him hold the weapon like a sword. Unique to humanoid Pretender shells, Grimlock's shell's hands have 5mm holes at different angles; the right hand has the usual vertical hole while his left hand has a diagonal one, presumably to hold the tail cannon in line with the rest of the arm.

:His shell's head looks a lot like a younger {{w|Ed Asner}}, and also bears a passing resemblance to his voice actor, [[Gregg Berger]].

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}
:Part of the initial assortment of carded [[Action Master]] figures released in the seventh and final year of the US line (sixth and not-final in Europe), Grimlock is a 3¾-inch non-transforming posable action figure, his design combining his cartoon model with extra toy-based detailing. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.

:He came with the [[anti-tank cannon]] "partner" machine, which he can ride, though its fairly small size makes it so he has to squat to do so, which leaves him both very back-heavy and very funny-looking. The cannon can also unfold via spring-loaded [[gimmick]] to form a really ''big'' hand-held "long-range mortar launcher", completed by plugging Grimlock's "particle beam cannon" weapon into its barrel.

:Grimlock's original toy was re-released in the European/Australian-exclusive "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]" series, with the minor change that his missiles were noticeably shortened, probably [[for safety reasons]]: about 5 mm was cut off from the tip, leaving them blunt. He is otherwise identical to the normal Hasbro release of Grimlock.

:In Greece, these releases were added to re-releases of the [[Defensor (G1)#Toys|Defensor]] and [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Toys|Devastator]] [[giftsets]].

:Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, Grimlock's original toy was re-released with minimal changes; an "AUTOBOT" tampograph was added to his right dino-flank/robot boot, and this release lacks the original toy's missile launcher and missile.

[[File:TF-G2-Turquoise-Grimlock.jpg|upright=.66|left|thumb|''(Turquoise variant pictured)'']]
:The following year, Grimlock underwent a [[variant|running change]], with his silver plastic now cast in either rich blue or turquoise (Grimlock's fellow Dinobots [[Slag (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Slag]] and [[Snarl (G1)#Generation 2|Snarl]] underwent a similar set of color changes). As the blue version is far, far more common on the secondary market, plus was the version pictured in Hasbro's 1993 [[Toy Fair]] catalog, it's a safe bet that the blue one came first, and the turquoise version was a late-run refresher that saw little distribution.

:Amusingly, Grimlock's bio give him a Rank of 10... while the concurrent release of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Optimus Prime]] had a rank of 9!

:The only new toy in the third wave of second-year ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxes, Grimlock is a [[redeco]] of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Toys|Dinobot]] in gray and gold with dark blue spots, transforming into a "raptor" of some variety. His tail detaches and separates to form a gear-powered, spinning blade weapon, while the central "tail bone" separates to be used as a sword. The entire assembly can store in [[robot mode]] by flipping down the tail-mount and pegging the blade's base to the peg on his lower back. He also has a "mutant mask", halves of a dino-skull that flip up to cover his more robotic head. Thankfully these pieces are not pinned in, and can be easily removed for better clearance. He was also slightly [[retool]]ed from the original mold to have ratcheting shoulders and space for an "energon chip" [[rubsign]].

:Grimlock is extra-notable for suffering from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]], making his hip-joints in particular prone to snapping off. Grim.

{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist), [[Alex Milne]] (packaging artist)}}

: For the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line, Grimlock's [[alternate mode]] was changed from a dinosaur into a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]], 1:24 scale silver {{w|Ford Mustang}} with opening doors, hood, and trunk, a detailed interior, [[rubber tires]] and a working steering mechanism. His engine transforms into a double-barreled gun, and he also carries an orange "energo-sword" which can attach to the underside of his vehicle mode. The toy is one of the most-complained-about ''Alternators'' toys, due to its notoriously finicky transformation (with many small steps that must be performed in exactly the right order) and to several pieces which have a tendency to pop off with relatively small amounts of force. And it's a Grimlock who doesn't transform into a ''Tyrannosaurus rex.

:The main difference between Hasbro's ''Alternators'' version of the toy and the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version is that the latter has its vehicle shell partially made out of painted [[die-cast]] metal parts, whereas the ''Alternators'' version is made entirely out of plastic (not counting the rubber tires). In addition, the ''Binaltech'' version's engine/gun and the wheel's rims are [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]], whereas they're simply painted silver for the ''Alternators'' version.

:This sculpt was retooled into ''Alternators/Binaltech'' [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Wheeljack]].

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Deluxes, Grimlock once again transforms into a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', but he has been heavily re-imagined in both modes, with his dino form designed to run rather than tail-drag (theories on the ''T. rex'' having changed from "caveman adversary" to "Carl Lewis in lizard skin" since the Generation 1 incarnation).

:This mold features a few design elements likely influenced by Grimlock's Pretender toy; his bayonet blaster is an homage to his gun/blade combo weapon from said toy, and his heavily-jointed tail detaches to become a handheld weapon as it does for the inner robot of his Pretender toy. Another similarity is the ''T. rex''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s upper-body forming the [[robot mode]] legs (though the ''T. rex'' head forms his feet this time around).

:Grimlock's bayonet blaster (dubbed the "[[Guardian Blaster]]" in his [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 13|TFCC profile]]) can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear red projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. As with most ''Classics'' toys, Grimlock features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], placed on the left side of the tyrannosaurus torso/his left leg.

:A common issue with the figure is the size of the peg that locks his arms in place being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it difficult to keep transformed. The black shoulder flaps above this assembly are meant to tab into these and lock the whole thing together, but the flaps don't align properly and the tabs themselves are too short to even reach the slots. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger and his fist holes are a few fractions of a millimeter too small to accommodate standard [[5 mm post]] accessories that most modern ''Transformers'' toys use.

:An unpainted ''Classics'' Grimlock was used at the [[BotCon 2007]] customization classes to create ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overkill (G1)#Timelines|Overkill]]. The mold was also [[redeco]]ed to make [[Grimlock (SG)#Toys|''Shattered Glass'' Grimlock]] and [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|''Universe'' (2008)]] [[Overkill (G1)#Universe .282008.29|Overkill]].

:Based upon his appearance from ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', this version of Grimlock transforms into a Cybertronic heavy tank. This transforming partly die-cast and plastic Grimlock was initially unreleased due to the cancellation of the ''Transformers'' series of ''Titanium'' toys at retail (the line would continue on for ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' at the three-inch scale). The toy was eventually released in the fall of 2008 as a Toys-R-Us exclusive, alongside the also-almost-unreleased War Within [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Prowl]].

:He includes a cannon and his trademark sword. In vehicle mode, the sword can peg onto the side of his rear treads, while the cannon can peg into the back of the cabin. The cannon has a joint on its connector so it can swivel around.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei!

As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the heat sensitive rubsign seen on the ''Classics'' release, and instead features vacuum-metalized "chromed" plastic (in a similar [[gimmick]] to the ''Beast Wars'' [[Transmetal]]s toys). The vac-metal is used on his [[beast mode]] feet, as well as the ''Tyrannosaurus'' torso, which was, oddly enough, in Hasbro's original deco plan for ''Classics'' Grimlock.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}
:Released in March of 2009, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Grimlock is based upon his original toy and cartoon model, transforming into an outdated view of the ''Tyrannosaurus'' rather than the more accurate depiction seen on ''Classics'' Grimlock. Of all the Masterpiece figures, Grimlock features both the least complex transformation, as well as the least deviation from his original toy's essential [[transformation|transformation scheme]].

:''Masterpiece'' Grimlock features the usage of [[die-cast]] metal for his dinosaur mode's toes and an LED mounted within his right fist which illuminates both his gun's barrels and his sword. As a result of said mechanism, the only articulated part of his right hand is the thumb. Similarly his left hand is modeled much like [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Masterpiece Starscream]]'s hands with the thumb and index finger fully articulated with the remaining fingers joined together. Possibly as a show of good faith regarding the sacrificed articulation, [[TakaraTomy]] designed his alternate mode's arms to be highly poseable, featuring full articulation of the claws with the arms themselves attached to the body with ball joints.

: He features many gimmicks, including the ability to change his eye color in either mode from red to blue with the flip of a switch found at the back of his head in robot mode, and by opening the top of his head in dino mode and switching the eyes around. This allows the owner the choice of representing the use of blue in the cartoon (and his IDW alternate mode) or the use of red in most other media, including his original toy. His tail is connected to his head, and by wiggling and moving it, the head rotates at the base of the neck. Pushing down on his torso in dinosaur mode makes his legs move up higher into his body, and as a result his head will look up. His alt mode's head features jaws that snap shut at the press of a button hidden on his cheek; in addition, it also has a tiny sculpted flame thrower in its mouth, but [[for safety reasons|for your safety]], it does not actually breathe fire (boo). Besides his weapons, he also comes with a cloth apron and bow tie to go with a drinks serving tray he carried in "[[Madman's Paradise]]", as well as the device he used to transfer his super-intelligence into [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] in "[[Grimlock's New Brain]]".

:When he was reissued, he came with a crown redecoed from the King Grimlock release and a new flame attachment to go over his sword.

*'''King Grimlock''' (December, 2009)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-8X'''
**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, crown

:King Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with a color scheme based on his appearance in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Generation 1 Marvel comic]]. All of his previously flat gray surfaces are coated in silver paint, his gold chrome is more vibrant, and his previously black plastic is now a dark blue in reference to the limited color palette of the Marvel Comics issues, and the colorless chrome used for his tail and arms is now a light blue chrome. He also features some different paint applications: on his dinosaur chest, inside the clear panel on his robot mode chest, and on his robot mode knees. In addition, his toes are now metallic yellow instead of metallic gray. He also lacks the faceplate paint of the original Masterpiece Grimlock. His sword is also tinted orange rather than neutral clear, and the clear panel on his chest is clear dark green plastic instead of neutral clear. Curiously what were the red eyes in dinosaur mode on the original ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock are now the blue eyes on King Grimlock, and the blue eyes are now the red. The product also features the crown worn by Grimlock in the comics instead of the accessories from the cartoon, such as the waiter apron or the glasses. The [[package art]] is drawn in an homage to the early style of ''The Transformers'' published by Marvel Comics, as well as a bilingual ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' style [[bio]] on the back of the package.

:King Grimlock was only available via [[TakaraTomy Mall|Toy Hobby Market]], the official shopping site of TakaraTomy. Pre-orders were open through [[July 31]]st through [[September 11]]th 2009, with the toy shipping out in December.

:Grimlock's teeth and claws have been slightly rounded for this release.

:The stock photography to the right is mistransformed, depicting Grimlock's beast mode claws as pointing straight down (as they are in robot mode) instead of laying flat to the ground.

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Grimlock transforms into a robotic ''[[Popular beast alternate modes|Tyrannosaurus rex]]''. He comes with a sword with a [[5 mm post|5mm handle]] and a peg on either side of the hilt, as well as a shield which can mount via its single peg. Grimlock features 5mm ports for his hands, as well as on his forearms/lower dino legs and shoulders/dino hips. Interestingly, the hollow sides of his dinosaur arms feature [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]-compatible [[C joint|3mm ports]].

:His main [[gimmick]]s, however, are that he has a light in his dinosaur mouth, and a chomping dinosaur jaw. When a lever behind his dino head is pulled, his mouth opens, and the light turns on, strongly illuminating his head. This gimmick can also be used in robot mode, as his dino head ends up inside his hollow chest, although it's not as effective. The [[insignia]] on his chest is the Lightning Strike Coalition variant of the Autobrand.

:This toy was [[redeco]]ed for all the other versions of ''Fall of Cybertron'' Grimlock, but was also used for ''Age of Extinction'' [[Grimlock (AOE)#Voyager Class toys|Grimlock]].

Being the sixth use of the sculpt, it's starting to show instances of [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]], as several sections (such as the tabs that hold the robot mode torso together, or the parts of the beast mode neck formed by the robot mode feet) don't fit properly anymore.

:In the United States, Grimlock has thus far been found at Big Lots and Family Dollar stores. In Australia and Europe, he is available at general retail again, just like the previous [[wave]] of Legion Class figures. In 2015, he was re-released in redesigned packaging now resembling the currently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''' packaging template, but replacing the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers".

: Released in the fourth year of the ''[[Kre-O]]'' building-brick line, the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]]''-themed "Grimlock Unleashed" set actually features a "Generation 1"-design large dino-mode Grimlock build. This massive beast uses multiple ball-and-socket joints to give it quite a range of posability, but unfortunately the build is a bit too heavy to keep any poses that aren't upright tail-dragging ones, plus his head is prone to drooping due to the weight of his skull in any position. The uneven and not-super-secure builds of his dino feet do not help.

: You could probably rebuild it into a robot mode, but there is no large pre-made Grimlock head to top it off, so you'll have to get creative or add more bricks to the set.

: The accompanying Grimlock [[Kreon]] is also based on the original [[The Transformers (toyline)|''Transformers'']] [[#The Transformers|Grimlock toy]], and even comes with an extra "crown" piece to place on his little rounded noggin, in tribute to his stint as Autobot leader in the Marvel comics. All of the other Kreons in the set, however, are based on their ''Age of Extinction'' namesakes.

: This set popped up at [[Toys"R"Us]] a few short weeks after the initial product without any advance warning... and retailed for a mere $25, despite the size of the set.

: Part of the first series of "Battle Changers", released in the line's fifth year, Battle Changers Grimlock as a core Kreon torso and head, but his limbs and backpack are massively bulked up, which allows him to transform into a really badly-proportioned ''T. rex'' without removing any parts!

His design is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart, but also takes some cues and the coloration from the Generation 1 version of the character. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head, forelimbs, thighs, lower legs, and tail, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His large size is augmented by a large number of accessories and gimmicks. The signature electronic aspect is a light-up mouth, used to illuminate his "flame blast" accessory, or any other transparent accessory you care to stuff into his gaping maw. He also comes with two spring-loaded missile launchers.

*'''Dinobots''' (Platinum Edition 5-pack, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Two-piece spiked maul

:Part of the ''Generations [[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' Dinobots 5-pack, Grimlock is a redeco and retool of [[Grimlock (AOE)#Voyager Class toys|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Grimlock]], sporting a Generation-1 inspired deco and a head. This release also suffers from a small degree of mold deterioration: the ''T. rex'' heels that connect with his forearms and the shoulders/''T. rex'' upper jaw halves seemed to connect loosely.

:Grimlock was bundled with Slug, Slog, Snarl, and Strafe.

: This set was initially released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Canada in October 2015, followed by Singapore a month later (although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular store there or not). Much later, it became available via the Australian Toys"R"Us website (but never found in stores). In the United States, it was initally only available online via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[BigBadToyStore]] before being found at discount chain Ross a year after its intial release in Canada.

*'''Grimlock''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion class figures, this Voyager-sized mold of Grimlock transforms from robot to dinosaur and back. The figure has a far greater range of articulation than many other Cyber Series figure to date. A small switch on the back of his beast-mode head moves his jaw up and down.

:This version of Grimlock is a unique amalgamation of three versions of the character; the robot mode head, torso, and transformation scheme take cues from [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Warrior Class|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' Grimlock]], the coloration is borrowed from [[Grimlock (AOE)#Toys|the toys of the live-action movie Grimlock]], lastly the styling and (scientifically outdated) stance of the dinosaur mode resembles the classic G1 Grimlock look.

:Like all of the ''Cyber Series'' figures, Grimlock initially did not get distribution in the United States, but has been reported showing up in Asian markets and was also solicited to South America. Toy importers did stock this series in a limited capacity and they sold out quickly in 2015 and effectively disappeared at that time. The line was later distributed in larger quantities by [[Walgreens]] stores in parts of the United States.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Titan Master]]s, Clobber is a retool of [[Squeezeplay (G1)#Titans Return|Crashbash]] and transforms from a robot into a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger figure in the line. Clobber features a new head piece based on Generation 1 Grimlock's animation model. [[Hasbro]] stated at [[BotCon 2016]] that Clobber ''is'' Grimlock himself, leaving the reasons for his name unclear, but some kind of attempt to avoid confusion with the contemporaneous ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|character]] seems a likely explanation. Clobber features peg holes in his feet to allow him to stand on a variety of ''Titans Return'' figures, and is packaged with a beast accessory with three modes: a dragon for Clobber to ride, a ''T. rex'' formed by combining with Clobber, or a 5mm-compatible gun for larger figures. His new face piece was molded in black plastic, rather than gunmetal. Clobber gives his larger partners super strength.

:As with Crashbash, Clobber's instructions feature the same error for steps 6(5)-8(7).

:The beast accessory released with Clobber also has more than a passing resemblance to [[Snarl (G1)#AM|Snarl]]'s [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Action Master partner]] [[Tyrannitron]], though, whether this was an intentional nod or just pure coincidence, is yet to be seen.

:This toy also doubles as the independent ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Clobber (BWU)|Clobber]].

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Dinobot Grimlock" transforms into a very Generation 1-inspired, wide-hipped robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. He can combine with his fellow Dinobots to form [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Toys|Volcanicus]] and can attach any ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figure. Like the other Dinobots in this subline, he features translucent plastic with gold paint on the inside to give him a 'layered' look reminiscent of [[#Generation 1|his original toy]]. He also includes two pieces of Prime Armor that each can hold a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]] (and by extension, an [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]] or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and attach to his forearms as battle claws. These also double as feet for Volcanicus. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Grimlock includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the ''Dinobot Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to him via the previously mentioned Prime Armor. In beast mode, he can carry an Enigma, Matrix core, or Prime Master ''in his mouth'', where Volcanicus's chest would be. If you're particularly creative, you could place a Matrix in his mouth.

: Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Grimlock is inspired by the [[#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' figure]], which hybridized the look of his appearance in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] and his [[#The Transformers|original 1985 toy]], while sporting multiple aesthetic details unique to the ''Masterpiece'' toy. His blaster stores on his dino-mode back thanks to a pair of small tabs on the weapon. It can also be attached to his ''T. rex'' arms using the slot on the top of the blaster. Strangely, he is missing all of his front dino teeth.

: Grimlock has a number of design elements shared with the concurrently-running ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' (which have continued to feature in the followup line ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]''). The figure was designed with the Trilogy's concerns for cartoon-based scale in mind, making him the tallest Leader Class figure in the format at the time. On top of that, he has numerous [[5 mm post]]-holes all over his body, making him compatible with [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] toys. He also has [[Fire Blast effect]] posts on the ends of his blaster's barrels and on the inside of his dino-mouth so he can properly spew plastic flame, though the size of the blast effects that can be used are limited by the peg being placed rather high vertically within said mouth.

: He also comes with a semi-posable, non-transformable figure of [[Wheelie (G1)#Studio Series|Wheelie]], designed to ride the Dinobot in both modes. In dino mode, small posts at the base of Grimlock's neck slot into grooves in Wheelie's ankles, securing the little Autobot in place. In robot mode, holes in Grimlock's shoulders match up with a peg on the back of Wheelie's left thigh, letting him sit there securely.

: Grimlock's colors were subject to multiple changes during development (see right). Physical samples were not shown on the [[October 16]]th [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] due to in-progress color changes by [[TakaraTomy]]. The original renders shown at the time had yellow parts, a clear chest panel, and an opaque dino neck, evoking the Generation 1 cartoon model. [[Hasbro]] stock photography somewhat reflected this, but the dino neck was made translucent-yellow instead to reveal inner details, much like the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]]. In the end, the final toy (used in TakaraTomy stock photography) featured gold paint instead of yellow, a translucent-black chest panel instead of clear (both of which closer evoke the original toy), and an opaque gold dino neck. The neck halves are still molded in the same translucent-black plastic used on his chest panel, meaning one could remove the gold paint from the parts to restore the more toy-accurate look.

: Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the Dinobots' famous (ahem) ''self-invited'' entrance at [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s execution.

: A sword intended for use with this mold, based on the original toy's, was eventually included with ''Studio Series'' [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Swoop]].

: According to TakaraTomy designer [[Shogo Hasui]], the alternate head created with this mold was that of fellow Dinobot [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]; as the only ''Studio Series'' Dinobots initially assured for release were Grimlock and [[Slag (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Slag]], the alternate head gave them an option for a "better than nothing" retool.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/synergenex-series.1267120/page-33#post-22639704 Shogo Hasui interview], p89 of [[Transformers Generations 2023]]</ref> When Sludge turned out to get [[Sludge (G1)#Studio Series|his own dedicated toy]], the alt head for Grimlock found a different use, explained below.

: Grimlock was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Grimlock (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Grimlock]], ''Toxitron Collection'' G2 Universe Grimlock (below), ''Generations Comic Edition'' Grimlock (also below), ''Age of the Primes'' G2 Universe Grimlock (once again below), and retooled with the alternate head into ''[[Synergenex]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Synergenex|Megatron Type Godzilla]]. It was ''almost'' going to be retooled as a ''Legacy'' release of [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] until the success of his [[Star Saber (G1)#Legacy|nemesis']] [[HasLab]] campaign prompted the Decepticon Emperor of Destruction to be moved to be another [[Deathsaurus (G1)#Legacy|Haslab funded project]].

: Grimlock and Wheelie were [[Package refresh|reissued]] in the third ''Studio Series'' Leader Class wave of [[2025]]. The packaging did not come with the diorama of the original release.

:Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' "Maximal Grimlock" is a retool of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Generations|Dinobot]] from the same line, transforming from a robot mode based on Dinobot's ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon appearance into a ''[[Jurassic Park]]''-accurate ''Velociraptor'' in 28 steps. Grimlock features a new head based directly on Grimlock's (and therefore, Dinobot's) original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' figure. Grimlock's hands have a [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] that can hold both his weapons and can close to hold objects. He also has 5 mm ports under his heels and one under his back-[[kibble]]. His tail can detach and split into two components: his Cyber Slash tail weapon, and his sword. If one chooses to, the 5 mm port on the hand or the hand's swivel joint can allow the Cyber Slash weapon to spin in his hand. The sword's tip is molded with the same texture as Grimlock's skin, presumably to better blend in as the tail tip in beast mode. Due to the Cyber Slash weapon connection, the sword cannot be held by other Transformers toys with traditional 5 mm port hands. The Cyber Slash weapon can store in robot mode by attaching to the same port as beast mode.

:Oddly for a modern ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' figure, Grimlock's ''Velociraptor'' mode features a deco that strays from the original ''Beast Wars'' toy and ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' [[Grimlock (Dinobots)#Toys|Grimlock]]'s decoes and includes some particularly odd choices like leaving the fake "eyes" on the chest unpainted, but painting exactly ''half'' the knee section white, despite that portion being mostly concealed in beast mode.

:And in what can be considered a surprise, Grimlock is mentioned in Hasbro's official description for the figure to be inspired by the character's appearance in ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]''!<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-battle-across-time-collection-deluxe-wfc-k40-autobot-mirage-maximal-grimlock "Beast Wars: Uprising-inspired Maximal Grimlock toy converts from robot to raptor mode in 28 steps"]</ref> Even though his [[Beast mode#Beast Wars: Uprising|Beast Upgrade]] appearance was never shown.

:The nylon plastic used for Grimlock's shoulder joints, thigh joints, and forearms has been reported to yellow quickly over time.

:Revealed on [https://www.instagram.com/p/COvYKODJgGf/ #TransformersTuesday], Grimlock was released with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Mirage]] as a part of the "Battle Across Time Collection". Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers. Initially set for a [[January 29]], [[2022]] release by TakaraTomy, the 2-pack was delayed to March 2022.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Core Class toys, Grimlock is a miniature version of the famous Dinobot leader, converting into a blocky ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Part of his beast mode tail detaches to become a twin-barrelled gun in robot mode. Grimlock also forms the left leg for Volcanicus, the first combiner released within the Core Class scale. He's probably disappointed at not forming the torso... Similar to how [[Goryu (G1)|Goryu]] is the leader of the [[Dinoforce]], but only forms the left leg of [[Dinoking]]. Hmmm... Like Snarl, the underside of Grimlock's crotch features an H-shaped-ish port, most likely used for a foot panel like Monstructor/Dinoking does.

: Due to being connected with the frame that holds the dino body/arms and head, the combiner knee joint may cause it to bend up due to how (slightly) tight the construction is. While Grimlock's combiner peg can be attached to either of the thighs, he is ''only'' designed to attach to the left side, given the joint's placement, and the cavity on Grimlock's left robot foot providing clearance on the gestalt's thigh panels (the left half of Sludge's robot legs/rear tail).

: His stock photography is mistransformed, the legs can flip around to form a better-looking tail, reducing the amount of kibble hanging off his back section.

Made with 85 microchips, 37 servo motors, and a 6-axis IMU, and capable of speaking over 150 voicelines (all newly-recorded by [[Gregg Berger]]), Grimlock straddles the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics" like the other Robosen robots... though it ''definitely'' leans more towards the latter, given that Robosen not only touts Grimlock as "The World's First Dual-form, Bipedal Walking Robot," but his regular asking price is also an absurd '''$1700'''. Using either voice commands or a companion iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, users can control Grimlock's movements by either using pre-programmed commands or creating movement routines of their own. From an aesthetic perspective, on the other hand, this Grimlock is essentially a 15" tall upscale of his Masterpiece figure, down to various sculpted details that were seemingly recreated 1:1.

:Grimlock is primarily powered by an internal lithium ion [[battery-powered motor|battery]], charged via a USB-C connection. Based on [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robosen Collector's Edition|Optimus Prime]], the LEDs for Grimlock's Galaxial Rocket Launcher and "energon sword" are likely powered by a replaceable CR 1220 3V battery.

:Like Optimus Prime before him, the voice command that triggers Grimlock's transformation is officially "[[convert]]", but "transform" works just the same. All told, Grimlock has 42 built-in voice commands he can respond to, from simple movement commands like turning left or right to actions like leaning forward and roaring in dino mode. Carried over from Robosen's [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Robosen|Bumblebee]] is "mini-theater" mode, a selection of longer pre-programmed action sequences with matching sounds, with sequences featuring Grimlock either by himself or with other Robosen G1 robots available to pick from. Considering that Robosen continually rolled out new commands and firmware updates for Optimus Prime for months after his release with no clear end date, Grimlock will more than likely receive additional commands for some time after his release.

:37 servo motors is definitely a ''lot'', but that effort was more so put into ensuring Grimlock can transform and remain balanced while doing so – compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing ''over a thousand dollars less'', Grimlock's robot mode lacks basic neck and wrist rotation, and his legs are incapable of rotating such that his feet can point any direction other than straight forward. Dino mode likewise has a notable sacrifice: while his ''T. rex'' neck can rotate a bit to the left or right and his head can look up and down, this comes at the cost of no arm articulation whatsoever.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Grimlock is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:Sadly, Grimlock shares the same inability to stand in robot mode without power as Optimus Prime – when turned off, Grimlock will lean forward and rest his robot arms and legs on the ground. Dino mode fares better, as he ''will'' stay standing up when he's powered off... but as his joints have now gone limp, he's liable to tip or slouch at the slightest bit of disturbance, so if you do decide to put him on display in this mode, make sure he's somewhere ''very'' stable.

:Grimlock's pre-programmed animation set assumes his rocket launcher is in his right hand and his sword in his left. There aren't any sensors to detect whether they and/or the crown are in place, so it's best to avoid, say, <s>transforming</s> converting Grimlock while they're in place. On a lighter note, Grimlock is capable of wearing the crown in both modes, meaning it no matter whether he robot or dino – Grimlock always king!

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences (if Optimus Prime is anything to go by, at least), such as a head nod or a full mode conversion.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Grimlock's knuckles and feet will almost certainly instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users of Optimus Prime have reported toppling issues due to a lack of traction. Grimlock ''is'' designed to be more stable thanks to his IMU, but heed caution all the same.

:Grimlock was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on July 19, 2023, with orders set to ship out from both Pulse and Robosen's own online store in late Fall 2023. When revealed, Grimlock was made available at a special introductory price of $1500 which lasted until September 30.

The figure comes in a display box featuring the cover of "[[Repeat Performance!]]." Grimlock includes [[Dinobot Crown of Leadership|his crown]] from the comic, as well as a set of three swords. One sword is based on Grimlock's original toy sword, and incorporates the chipped blade which only [[José Delbo]] drew. (Of note, this sword is a completely different tooling than the sword intended for ''Studio Series'' Grimlock that is available with ''Studio Series'' Swoop. It's considerably smaller and has different detailing, and then of course there's the chipped blade.) The other two swords are intended for the ''[[Studio Series]]'' releases of [[Sludge (G1)#Studio Series|Dinobot Sludge]] and [[Slag (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Dinobot Slug]], who do not come with swords.

:In an undocumented (and unintentional) feature, the crown can be stored securely in dino-mode by placing it inside the tail strategically oriented between the blue inner shin struts.

:When placed next to the rest of the ''Comic Edition'' assortment, the art on the side of the figures' boxes will form a small mural by [[Marcelo Matere]] of the characters brawling.

:"Bouncing Ball Head" Grimlock is a small, super deformed figurine with a removable head that doubles as a bouncy ball. Despite having a completely round head and a somewhat humanoid body shared by all figurines in this collection, Grimlock's tampographed face is based on a front view of his dino mode head, resulting in a very unsettling appearance. An Autobot logo is tampographed on the back of his head and his name is written under his feet.

:He is (apparently) available in both gacha-style machines and in an 8-pack with the whole collection, and comes inside a spherical capsule with a unique dark gray color.

:Despite clearly representing Generation 1 characters, the collection is advertised as a 2015 ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' product.

Unlike most figures in the line, he comes with two accessories instead of just one, and both of this hands can hold an accessory.

: As with all releases in the ''ReAction'' toyline, Grimlock comes packaged on a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]]'s ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' action figures from the late 1970s to early '80s.

: This depiction of Grimlock, released in the fifth wave of the ''ReAction'' line, has him in his dinosaur mode, taking up a significantly larger chunk of cardback real estate and requiring a much deeper bubble.

: It retains the "five points of articulation" theme, as this figure lacks neck articulation, but instead has a jointed jaw for talky-talky or bitey-bitey action, which we can all agree is awesome. ''Jawsome'', if you will. We'll give you props for that, Super7.

:Released in the second wave of the ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Grimlock is a snap-on model kit of his dinosaur mode. He stands slightly shorter than other figures in the line and has fewer accessories (no alternate hands, no stand), but in exchange, he gets three transparent white [[Energon cube]]s. His build is, fittingly, quite different from the rest of the figures in the line, necessitating almost half a page of the instruction sheet. He was available at a rate of 1/12 figures.

:Dino Mode Grimlock features a torso with tiny arms that can transform by splitting in half, which also serves as the backpack for his robot mode kit below.

:Strangely, the instructions and promotional shots show his legs as being assembled backwards, with the knees bending backwards, but the front of the box (which prominently features Grimlock) has them the normal way around. Fixing this is trivial - simply rotate the knees and feet.

He has modified paint detailing (including on his forearms, crotch, and legs), his chest is now cast in a transparent orange, but his most notable new feature is that his inner skeleton's torso lights up (by shaking it or at least flick onto one of his torso parts), illuminating his eyes and chest. In addition to this slew of changes, he features two translucent eye parts (both toy and cartoon-based) for the builder to choose from, and comes with an [[Energon cube]] in pink and his iconic Energo Sword, reused from the ''Galaxy Version'' Slag kit. He was available at a rate of 1/6 figures.

:Although the construction seems to be a one-way method, the eye parts can be swapped. However, as the head's connection is fairly tight upon assembling, this can be modified by reducing the length of the pegs on both the head and the visor, making it easier to pry them apart.

:First teased on March 24, with a full reveal at the 2026 BLOKEES Global Partners Conference, the third wave of the [[Blokees]] Wheels Transformers line features a vehicle kit of Grimlock, modeled after his alternate mode in Dreamwave Productions' [[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]] miniseries. While everything else is molded in ABS plastic, certain pieces are made out of "2.5x density" Solidex to evoke the feeling of die-cast cars like [[Hot Wheels]]. Grimlock uses the same universal Chassis Connector as the rest of the lineup, and he also features an opening/closing canopy to allow the chase kits' driver figures to sit inside the cockpit.

==Notes==
{{twoimages|File:G2GrimlockArtwork.jpg|File:G2RamjetVSGrimlockArt.jpg|thumb|w1=150|w2=225|caption=Heavy Metal Greymon.}}

* Grimlock was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "[[:File:DiacloneGrimlock.jpg|Dinosaur Robo Tyrannosaurus]]". The only differences between this incarnation and the ''Transformers'' release are that the ''Diaclone'' version has a silver-chromed sword and a blue crotch piece rather than red, as well as coming with a green-and-black Diaclone pilot figure.
* The original ''Diaclone'' commercial for the mold that became Grimlock showed him spewing fire from his mouth. So much for truth in advertising!
* There is (or ''was'') [[:File:Grimlock Natural History Museum.JPG|a Grimlock toy]] placed in the showcase in the dinosaur section of the {{w|Natural History Museum}} in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]; oddly, this doesn't make him the [[Slag (G1)|only one]]. Sadly, however, he has since been removed from the display. Boo!
* Despite being released in three different color schemes during the ''Generation 2'' toyline, a piece of recolored card artwork—seemingly from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee—surfaced on [[eBay]] in the early 2000s (alongside recolored artwork of [[:File:G2SwoopArtwork.jpg|Swoop]] and [[:File:G2SludgeBoxart.jpg|Sludge]]), showing what may have been an intended fourth version of the Grimlock toy for that line. In 2020, the "tiger Grimlock" color scheme reappeared battling [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] on a piece of unused ''Generation 2''-era promotional art sold by Heritage Auctions (stated by them as being made for a book, but possibly intended as art for a puzzle given its dimensions), solidifying its legitimacy. The deco would eventually delight fans when it came to fruition on "Toxitron Collection" Grimlock in [[2023]].
* [[T-Wrecks]] may have been intended to be a new form for Grimlock, based on the references in his tech spec bio to his ''Beast Wars'' "Attack Specialist" function and other hints. However, T-Wrecks' appearances in the [[3H Productions]] ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe: The Wreckers]]'' comics suggest he is a new, unrelated character.
* A working name for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Ford Mustang mold which ultimately ended up as Grimlock was "[[Freeway (G1)|Freeway]]", according to various early store listings.
* The [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] toy released in the [[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|''Energon'' toyline]] was originally created by [[Hasbro]] for release as a special new-mold addition for the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'' toyline]], and was intended to represent Generation 1 Grimlock. However, it wasn't and it didn't for the combination of budgetary concerns and keeping the combination gimmick (since he combines with the packed-in [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]] to form "[[Mega-Dinobot]]") only in the ''Energon'' toyline, which had combination as a central theme.

Since 1984, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 '''Optimus Prime''']] has received the largest number of toys for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character, a testament to the character's enduring popularity and status as a hero to many fans.

Due to the popularity of the character and the evergrowing [[Generation 1 continuity family]], this article had become far too large, causing internet browsers to struggle loading all of its contents, and—in the most extreme cases—crashing entirely. For the sake of a nice clean split, we have opted to move all of Optimus Prime's ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys into a separate article which can be found '''[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys|here]]'''.

:*''Takara ID number'': '''01'''
:*''Accessories'': "Laser Blaster", left & right fists, trailer/"Combat Deck", "Roller", 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump
{{toydesigner|[[Hiroyuki Obara]] (TakaraTomy), [[Shōji Kawamori]] ([[Studio Nue]])|[[Jeffrey Mangiat]] (packaging art, Hasbro), [[Shin Ueda]] (packaging art, TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the first year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toyline]], Optimus Prime transforms into a White Freightliner WFT-8664T cabover semi-trailer truck with an additional trailer unit. In robot mode, his fists are separate accessories that must plug into his wrists; the fists do not store securely anywhere in vehicle mode, but can fit easily in Prime's chest/drivers' compartment. He is armed with a black laser rifle that, by design, he cannot hold straight. His articulation is relatively high for the era due to his transformation, and even has functioning knees, though their use is restricted by his lack of forward hip movement. His smokestacks can rotate, but are seemingly a form of [[for safety reasons|anti-breakage move]].

: Prime's [[trailer]] opens up into his [[Combat Deck (G1)#Toys|Combat Deck]], containing the scout drone, [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Roller]]. The interior of the Combat Deck features three raised holes that can accommodate Prime's laser rifle, fuel pump and nozzle accessories. The Combat Deck's central feature is a missile-armed repair drone pod mounted upon a boom lift arm, which can be extended through square holes in the trailer's roof and front end when it is closed. While the drone has spring-loaded missile launchers, the springs have been severely weakened in the Hasbro release. Situated in the base of the boom arm is a spring-loaded launcher that can launch Roller out of the Combat Deck and into action. Roller features a port that can accommodate either Prime's rifle or the fuel pump. The interior space of the trailer allows storage room for one standard [[Autobot Cars|Autobot Car]], which can also be shot forward by the launcher.

: The toy started life as the Takara ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Battle Convoy" toy, a piloted mecha, thus the numerous spots across the toy's components with little seats for Diaclone pilots that Optimus did not come with.

: [[File:G1toy optimus prime variants and running changes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Most people would be happy with just ''one'' Optimus Prime, but noooooo...]]

: Optimus was subject to several molding and color variations in his early days. The earliest release of the figure featured large rounded fists, a hefty rifle with a large rounded barrel, a thick fuel pump with a detailed nozzle, silver rockets, silver Roller, silver Combat Deck launcher, and metal plates in the floor of the Combat Deck (a holdover from the ''Diaclone'' version of the toy, to which the magnetic feet of the pilots could cling). In short order, new-yet-almost-identical [[mold]]s were created, presumably to refresh the tooling as the original had already been heavily used for ''Diaclone'' and so a wider range of factories (going from only Japan to Japan, China, Macau, and more) could produce more units to meet demand quickly, a common practice at the time. Prime's fists were resculpted to be smaller and more angular, the gun's silhouette was heavily revised, the fuel pump and nozzle were simplified, the rockets and launcher recast in black plastic, the Combat Deck's metal plates (and their clips) were removed, and the outer trailer detailing and door hinges were altered. Roller and the Combat Deck's drone pod color was swapped to a light blue, though a third running change soon followed that saw them restored to their original darker blue. The revised mold would be used by subsequent reissues of the Optimus toy, though Roller still fluctuates back and forth between grey and dark blue, depending on how [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] each reissue wants to be.

: The yellow square stickers marked #7 were meant to be applied in the idents on the front bumper, not on the front of Roller. The "Go" sticker marked #4 was meant to be applied on the bottom left corner of the ramp and not on the floor of the trailer near the ramp. Lastly, the rainbow sticker marked #14 was meant to be applied on the blue area near the Roller launcher, not on the Roller launcher itself.

: The Japanese 1985 release of the figure also underwent the accessory changes, but never featured a silver Roller. Instead, Takara's original release of Prime featured a ''Diaclone''-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version. It also had fully-functional missile launchers on the drone.

: Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue. For the mainland Europe [[Milton Bradley]] release, there were two [[variant]]s of Optimus Prime available: the first version, manufactured by Takara, sported blue feet like most other versions; the second version, manufactured by [[Joustra]]'s parent company [[Ceji]], sported red feet instead.<ref name="3mb" /> On top of that, the Italian release of "Commander" by [[GiG]] eventually featured a [http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vprime6.html later variant] that replaced the rubber tires and [[die-cast]] feet with plastic parts, similar to the US [[KB Toys]] variant of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Toys|Ultra Magnus]].

: Having been removed from toy store shelves after 1985, Optimus Prime was made available as a mail-away toy in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" offer in the US in 1986 to coincide with the [[The Transformers: The Movie|''Transformers'' movie]] premiering that year. He cost $21.50 and 5 [[Robot Point]]s. He was also offered in "[[The Autobots Have a Special Mission for:]]" mail-away pamphlet, and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle; this edition of the toy is considered ''particularly'' rare.

: Over forty-plus years, there have been a ''bajillion'' releases of this mold, some identical to the original toy, and some featuring significant variants with notably different paint jobs, color schemes, accessories and other pack-ins. We have striven to list all these variants on this page under their respective series; for a quick-reference list of all variants and releases [[#Notes|check here]]. The cab robot has also been used sparingly to represent different characters; outfitted with different trailers, it has become Generation 1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Pepsi Convoy]].

: A limited edition version of the Optimus Prime toy was sold as a mail-away exclusive by [[Pepsi|PepsiCo]] in North America in 1985. This version of the figure came with a small fold-out leaflet glued to the top-right of the packaging, which contained two Pepsi logo stickers for the buyer to attach to Prime, mid-way through the traditional silver-and-blue stripe on his trailer. [[Canada]] also got a version of this promotional figure, but with much larger stickers that were the full length and height of the trailer.

: This promotion would go on to serve as the inspiration for the Japanese character of [[Pepsi Convoy]], who would in turn be released by Hasbro as a new "[[#PepsiPrime2007|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]" in 2007.

: Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original Optimus Prime figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue, though his chestplate, which was rendered white in his package art followed a more the blue color scheme of his shoulders. He transforms into a Freightliner COE, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his [[robot mode]]s to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

: The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Additionally, three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus—released as part of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Toys 2|Scramble City]]'' sub-line—''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was soon replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head. In addition, the clear yellow plastic that formed his windows was removed from the cab, leaving just holes instead; and his thighs and fuel tanks were left white, as opposed to the vacuum metalized chrome ones of the original release.

:The small robot component, as well as being part of Optimus Prime, was also released with a different trailer as [[Pepsi Convoy]].

:*''Accessories:'' Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 [[laser rifle]]s, 2 twin [[particle beam cannon]]s, super robot head
{{toydesigner|[[Richard Marcej]] (packaging)}}

: Sold in the fifth year of the Hasbro US ''Transformers'' line (fourth in European markets), Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first new toy of the Autobot leader since the original toy's release in 1984. He is an all-new design, featuring the [[Powermaster]] gimmick: His partner figure, [[Hi-Q#Toys|Hi-Q]], must be transformed into an engine and attached to Prime's vehicle mode in order to enable the transformation into robot mode.

: Like the original figure, Powermaster Prime is composed of two major components: his truck cab, which transforms into Prime himself, and his trailer, which is essentially a heavily-armed version of the original. The trailer has a fold-down ramp to allow the storage of a smaller Transformer, or perhaps spare accessories. The trailer transforms into a battle station armed with two long black rifles and two grey double-barreled cannons (featuring seating for Powermaster engine figures), all of which Optimus Prime can also wield in his fists.

: Aside from the Powermaster feature itself, the main [[gimmick]] of the toy is the ability of the truck cab to combine with the trailer to form the larger "Super Optimus Prime" figure. This is essentially accomplished by standing the trailer up, folding the cab in half and inserting it into the empty cavity in the trailer's torso, forming an imposing—if almost entirely unposeable—robot form armed with all four weapons. The head of this super robot form is a separate piece which can be stored in the rear of Prime's trailer when not in use. While Hi-Q was always shown plugged into Prime's chest in artwork of this mode (as seen in the picture here), this was actually entirely unnecessary as transforming into Super Optimus Prime didn't require the standard Prime toy's legs to be unlocked.

:The Japanese release of Powermaster Optimus Prime actually represented a new character named [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], and featured several retools: the cab featured die-cast metal, shortened smokestacks, vacuum-metalized plastic and clear blue windows, while the trailer was given retractable super robot fists. This Japanese version was eventually issued by Hasbro in 2003 as part of the [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] collection ([[#Commemorative Series|see below]]).

:This toy was later redecoed into the Japanese-exclusive Super Convoy.

:There were several different prototypes made for this toy. [[#Powermaster Optimus Prime design history|See a list here]].

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Sold in the seventh and final year of the original line (sixth and not-final in Europe), [[Action Master#Toys|Action Master]] Optimus Prime is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure closely based on his [[character model]], albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based largely on the cab robot of his Powermaster body. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus limited ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s. Curiously, Optimus also has a 3mm hole directly above the 5mm one, an extra feature only found on [[Shockwave (G1)|one other]] Action Master. In Optimus' case, it's likely [[:File:AM Helmet Weapons.jpg|a leftover from an aborted gimmick]] for which the figure was a test case.

: The toy shown in the Action Masters commercial shows gray paint operations on Prime's upper legs that the final toy lacks.

: He was only available with the "[[Armored Convoy#Toys|Armored Convoy]]", a large, heavily armed tractor trailer, and the largest Action Master vehicle set offered.

: The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more [[Show-accuracy|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 in white and transparent green as the ''[[Microman]]: [[Microman#Micro Millennium (1998-2000)|LED Powers]]'' toy [[Microman#MicroTrailer|Micro Trailer]] – sans Optimus Prime, natch – which also received two separate [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] toys as the transparent black [[Microman#DarkTrailer|Dark Trailer]] and transparent red [[Microman#FlameTrailer|Flame Trailer]].

:This straight reissue of the original Optimus Prime figure was released in Hasbro's European markets in the early 1990s, at the same time as many other Generation 1 figures were being re-released as "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Oddly, although he shares their golden packaging, Prime is not actually ''identified'' as a "Classics" figure anywhere on his box, but is generally considered to be part of the sub-line for simplicity's sake.

:This redeco of the Ginrai tooling of the Powermaster Optimus Prime figure (released concurrently with the 2001 reissue of the Ginrai figure) was a Toys ''R'' Us Japan [[exclusive]] black repaint, made to represent the original Optimus Prime equipped for a special mission. All of his red and blue plastics were changed to black, his clear blue windows were now tinted red, making his overall colour scheme very reminiscent of the now-familiar '[[Black Convoy (disambiguation)|Black Convoy]]' color schemes.

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the Japanese ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1991 (Return of Convoy)|Return of Convoy]]'' part of the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|original Takara ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' toyline]], and the final new-design Optimus Prime toy from the original Generation 1 era, Star Convoy was a significant departure from previous versions. This incarnation of Prime transforms into an extended-hood cab truck of made-up model pulling an implausibly large trailer, incorporating the motorized "Microcarrier". [[Motorized movement|Powered by four AA batteries]], the Microcarrier drives Star Convoy either forward or backward, spinning a radar dish mounted on the rear of his trailer as he rolls along. Prime's teammate in the [[Battlestars]], [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]], can link up to the rear of Star Convoy's vehicle mode and be pulled along behind him; [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] can then land atop Grandus, forming a giant vehicle.

: Unlike previous Optimus Prime toys, the cab section does not separate from the trailer for transformation, instead forming the arms of his imposing 12-inch tall robot mode. He lacks any sort of leg articulation in this mode, but the Microcarrier comes into play again, allowing Prime to roll either forward or backward into action.

: Additionally, Star Convoy transforms into a large battle station that interacts with the [[Micromaster]]s that made up the vast majority of the ''Transformer'' toyline at the time. His chest contains a peg that allows Micromaster figures to stand inside it in either robot or base modes, and he comes with a unique Micromaster version of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Hot Rod]] not available on its own. He features storage space in his legs for two spring-loaded figure-launching [[Micro Trailer]]s, and comes with one of his own, decorated in a unique black and orange color scheme. In this mode, two ramps are connected to the Microcarrier; when the carrier's treads are set rolling, they do not move the base, but instead act as conveyor belts that carry Micromaster figures down the ramps. The Microcarrier also spins a gun turret mounted between the conveyors, on which Micromaster figures can stand. Finally, a special connector packaged with Star Convoy allows the Microcarrier to be connected up to Grandus's base mode, powering his moving elevator.

: On an odd note, despite being best known as a Japanese exclusive, Star Convoy was also released across several stores in [[Portugal]] during the early nineties: most notably amongst these being Jumbo (now rebranded into Auchan since the 2010s), one of the country's largest hypermarket chains.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/heIhoys Translated screenshot of a 2021 thread] from Facebook group ''Transformers Portugal'' (link to original thread [https://www.facebook.com/groups/256309611187146?multi_permalinks=1808935782591180 here]) where multiple users discuss having found Star Convoy on Portuguese retail during the 90s.</ref> Weirdly, he came in his original Takara packaging - thus retaining all the Japanese text that was eventually illegible to most Portuguese consumers - which suggests that he was most likely a direct import from the original batch of figures rather than a localized version like [[GiG]]'s [[Galaxy Shuttle]]. It is unknown exactly what circumstances led to this one Japanese figure reaching widespread retail in a single European country, but as a result, he tends to pop up surprisingly often on the Portuguese secondary market.

:Star Convoy was reissued by Takara in 2005, with some notable alterations to his deco: his white plastic was replaced with metallic silver, and the yellow star on his chest was chromed golden. Star Convoy himself retained some of his original decals, but most notably his "simulated head lights" and "wind shield panels" were tampographed on him; similarly, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#StarConvoyReissue|Hot Rod]]'s stickers were all replaced with tampograph deco. Additionally, where the original toy had been packaged in robot mode in a tall box decorated with the standard Japanese package art of the time, the reissue was packaged in vehicle mode, in a long, wide box more reminiscent of the original Generation 1 toys.

:*''Accessories'': "Laser blaster", left & right fists, light & sound module, 2 rocket launchers, 4 rockets, "Roller" scout car, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, trailer, 4 missiles

: Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, this Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the original figure release with some notable new additions to catch him up to the radical 1990s. While his cab robot retained his original red and dark blue color scheme, his trailer was recast in black, with the original blue and silver striped sticker replaced with a red and silver one displaying Optimus's name. On the first release of the trailer, the internal components and Roller matched the blue of the cab robot. Later, the internal components and Roller were changed to a lighter blue. Another ''second'' running change followed, making the dark blue of the cab robot match this lighter shade. A bright yellow "Autobot" [[tampograph]] was also added to the back of his right leg, present in all versions of the toy.

: ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime comes with all his original accessories and play features... yes, even the [[for safety reasons|severely-weakened]] missile launchers on the Combat Deck, the only recycled toy in ''Generation 2'' to retain the old launching mechanisms. But Optimus also has two major new play features. To increase his arsenal, Optimus is now armed with a pair of large, black handheld missile launchers that fire red missiles. These launchers were retooled from the 1992 ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' figure [http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/barricade.shtml Barricade].

: Second, he comes with an electronic "sound and lights module" that can either plug into the front of the trailer (where it resembles a trailer refrigeration unit), or hook onto Optimus's back in [[robot mode]] via a new slot retooled into the cab robot. Unfortunately, the soundbox is heavy enough that doing so can often overpower Prime's hip joints, causing him to topple backward. The soundbox features a large, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] Autobot symbol on its front, and three grey buttons which trigger two flashing red LEDs on either side of the module, and [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/c/c6/G2OptimusNoises.ogg a trio of sound effects]: a truck engine noise, a laser gun sound effect, and a very loud "I am Optimus Prime!". The module also features ports on either side into which the missile launchers can peg. How the sound module handles batteries is an oddity among Transformers before or since: as Optimus came out during a transitional period where button cell batteries were still fairly expensive, the module uses AA batteries by default, but was originally packed with a small bracket for included LR44 batteries that overrides the AA compartment completely to support the "Try Me!" feature in the box. The original intent is to discard the bracket once the LR44s run out and switch to several AA batteries, but if one were to keep it, the electronics can work equally well solely off far fewer button cell batteries.

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Released in the second year of ''Generation 2'', [[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Optimus Prime was the first new-mold Optimus Prime toy created for the ''Generation 2'' line. He transforms into a long-nose Volvo N12 truck and trailer. The trailer has a permanently-attached massive rocket launcher powered by an air bellows: slide one of his rockets over the barrel, then slam down on the bellows to launch the rocket. The launcher also features a [[5 mm post]] to attach a smaller rifle. The rockets and bellows all clip neatly onto the trailer as well.

: In robot mode, the launcher remains permanently affixed to Optimus's right arm, and retains its functionality. The air bellows and rockets mount on his back. This was also one of the first ''Transformers'' toys to feature expanded [[articulation]] in robot mode, though they hadn't really perfected the formula so soon and he ends up fairly back-heavy and heel-strut-needing.

: A similar air-launching system with identical missiles was used by the simultaneously-released [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Hero|Hero Megatron]], and by Laser Optimus Prime the following year (see below).

: This mold was also used to create [[Sureshot (G2)#Toys|Sureshot]] and the [[KB Toys]]-exclusive [[Destructicon (RID)|Destructicon]] [[Scourge (RID)#Destructicon|Scourge]].

: Released in the final year of ''Generation 2'', Laser Optimus Prime (released in Europe under the name "Laser Rod Optimus Prime") transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The sides of the trailer are decorated with a sticker depicting Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a banner with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" on it. The truck is armed with a disc launcher on the roof of its trailer, which launches five blue discs bearing the ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignia as a knob is turned. Like the other "[[Laser Rod|Laser]]" toys released this year, Prime features electronics powered by two button-cell batteries; in truck mode, pressing the button on the cab's roof causes his headlight to light up with yellow LEDs.

: In the grand Optimus tradition, the cab of Laser Optimus Prime disconnects to become the highly poseable robot mode of Prime himself. Like Powermaster Prime and Hero Prime, the toy features the iconic windshield pecs and grill abs, despite not actually being formed from the actual truck components they emulate. In robot mode, pressing the button on Prime's cab (now on his back) activates a red LED in his right fist which illuminates his clear-plastic sword (which stores beneath his legs in truck mode).

: Prime's trailer unfolds via a spring-loaded transformation mechanism in a battle station that is positively ''bristling'' with varied weaponry. In addition to the disc launcher, it is armed with a "ripple-fire" missile launcher that fires five missiles, an air-powered rocket launcher like the one previously seen on Hero Optimus Prime, and a small laser cannon that mounts on the base's main tower. Both the missile launcher and laser cannon can disconnect and be held by Prime; his LED-fist will illuminate the laser cannon like it does his sword. Additional missiles and a second rocket are stored in grooves inside the sides of the trailer.

: This mold was redecoed by Takara in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)#Toys|Black Convoy]], and later by Hasbro as Black Convoy's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] counterpart Scourge. It was also used to make the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]]. It was planned to be used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)#Toys|Toxitron]], but that was canceled.

: In addition to being possibly the most popular ''Generation 2'' figure, Laser Optimus Prime was, prior to 2003, a regular contender for most popular ''Transformers'' toy ''ever'', back in the days of the annual [[alt.toys.transformers]] fan awards; the toy won twice, and actually lost once to his redeco, Scourge.

: Part of the second wave of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s, this Optimus is a redeco of [[Firecracker#Toys|Firecracker]], transforming into a ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]''-sized 1:64-scale Lamborghini Diablo. Like most Go-Bots, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly, and is broadly compatible with ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox'' style tracks and playsets.

: The plastic colors are a "solid" version of Firecracker's color layout, substituting opaque red for transparent red plastic, but also adding blue paint to his helmet for that little extra touch of Optimus. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; [[Blowout (G2)#Toys|Blowout]] and Firecracker became new versions of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]] and Optimus Prime respectively, while [[Gearhead#Toys|Gearhead]] and [[Motormouth (G2)#Toys|Motormouth]] stayed themselves.)

: In Europe, this deco was sold as Firecracker himself rather than Optimus Prime (at least in the French/Dutch/German packaging variant).

:[[File:G2-toy OptimusPrime GoBotTakara.jpg|upright=1|left|thumb|(''Takara release'')]]

: Optimus was one of only three Go-Bots sold in the Takara ''G-2'' line, but it was a... weird release. His hood was tampographed with a stylized "T" with the ''Transformers'' logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Soundwave]], as well as the Japanese release of Go-Bots [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]]. On top of that, his yellow plastics are now the same bright fluorescent yellow as found on Soundwave, thanks to the [[gang-molding]] process used to make this batch. He keeps the blue helmet though. These three toys were sold on cards that were nigh-identical to the Hasbro cards on the front, rather than the usual ''G-2'' style packaging, with only a small bit of Japanese text on the front in the logo. The back side is stylistically close to the ''Generation 2'' packaging, but a "generic" cardback used for all three toys and entirely in Japanese. It's unclear why these toys were released this way; it's possible these were sold in convenience stores or some other similar outlet rather than in conventional toy stores/departments; these toys do not appear on the normal ''G-2'' catalogs either. Even more oddly, the Optimus shown on the cross-sell is actually a [[Sideswipe (G1)#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]] with the car panels hand-painted red, and lacks the "T" on the hood... and yes, he's labeled "Optimus Prime" in Japanese as well, making this the first instance of the character ''not'' being named "Convoy" in Japan.

: The sculpt was later redecoed again for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]], and later still into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spychanger]] [[R.E.V.]].

: This Optimus Prime was to be a redeco of Hero Optimus Prime (above) in dark blue and red. Packaged samples of this toy were produced, but it was ultimately never released. The packaged samples feature a "traditional" color scheme for the head, with a silver [[mouthplate]]; the prototype depicted in the official catalog image seen on the right sports an unusual ''red'' mouthplate, which inspired several later toys.

: Since much of the advertising for the ultimately-unreleased redeco used an older, outdated name for the "Heroes" assortment, "Combat Heroes", Optimus and an equally unreleased redeco of "Hero" Megatron are commonly referred to by fans as "Combat Heroes" compared to the original "Heroes" releases, although all evidence suggests that Hasbro had never actually intended such a distinction, instead treating them as mere color [[variant]]s. Though the packaging is mostly unchanged (including a reuse of the existing packaging art depicting the original release's color scheme), one of the few minor alterations sees the addition of the name "Hero" (rather than "Combat Hero") to Optimus Prime's name above the (otherwise unchanged) UPC barcode.

: A finished sample of the Hero Optimus Prime redeco was among the rare toys auctioned off for charity at [[BotCon 1996]], along with several other unreleased ''Generation 2'' items.

: This reissue of the original ''Generation 2'' Laser Optimus Prime figure was made using the modified version of the mold created for ''Robots in Disguise'' Scourge, lacking the sculpted ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignias on the disks featured on the original. It sports a modified deco, with the flat grey plastic on both the trailer and Prime's chest now replaced with silver chrome; additionally, new Autobot symbol tampographs were added to the doors of Prime's cab mode and the front end of his trailer, and a pair of new chest-window stickers featuring an illustration of the Matrix of Leadership replaced the original decals.

: This version of the mold was used to create the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]], and somewhat more perplexingly, was briefly [[repurposing|repurposed]] by the [[Master of the Game|second]] ''[[Beast Wars Reborn]]'' text story as a temporary body for [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity#Beast Wars Reborn|Optimus Primal]]!

{{note|There's a longstanding debate on whether the obscure Korean-exclusive [[ToonTown]] figures and merchandise, allegedly released under official Hasbro licensing according to their packaging, are actually legitimate Transformers products or just bootlegs with fraudulent copyright information. Although there isn't a clear consensus from collectors and no statement from Hasbro on this matter as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, we have nonetheless chosen to cover them here for the sake of archival and posterity.}}
[[File:ToonTown-DiaclonePrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hi, I'm originally a bootleg who might or might also not be a bootleg still! [[Completist|Buy me!]]]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a2|'''Battle Supplier''' (1997)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Rifle, left & right fists, Roller

: An oddball South Korean-exclusive provided by company ToonTown with the ''presumably'' legitimate copyright of Hasbro International, the nameless 'Battle Supplier' - per his packaging description - is actually nothing less than a repackaging of an old, likely Taiwanese-made [[knockoff]] of ''[[Diaclone]]'' Battle Convoy. Copies of these bootlegs have been reported since the mid-80s (a handful of [[Italy|Italian]] companies like Globo distributed them as back as far as 1987 <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/247808869499189/?multi_permalinks=374158430197565 A listing for the Globo-branded Generation 1 Optimus Prime knockoff, with the (Italy-based) seller explicitly referring to it as an import]</ref>), but if his copyright date is correct then it would only be in 1997 when this specific release would land on Korean stores.

: This figure features quite a few alterations from its original Diaclone tooling; like the truck windshield not being split in half, the left smokestack being replaced by a ladder, and the rifle being based on that of ''Dorvack'' Jeeps (AKA the later Generation 1 [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]]). He also lacks the Auto-Launcher in his Combat Deck, as well as his other accessories. His color scheme is also odd, with his red being less vibrant than the original and his legs and feet having two very obviously distinct shades of blue. A similar version to this release with nearly-identical packaging but translated into English also showed up in Canada during 1998, but this time bearing the name "Battle Supbot" without the Transformers logo and without any mention of Hasbro licensing.<ref>[https://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Knockoffs/G2/OptimusPrime1.html "Battle Supbot"] on toyarchive.com</ref> Some traits for his packaging design have also been seen on other bootlegs of Taiwanese origin.

: Considering the amount of times we've mentioned "bootleg" on this entry, it should go without saying that the authenticity of this mold as a genuine ''Transformers'' product is often disputed: more about this conundrum [[ToonTown|can be read on ToonTown's page]], but in short; despite his knockoff origins, this release is one of many toys distributed by the aforementioned company presumably under the licensing of Hasbro, and to this day there still isn't a consensus as to whether they ''actually'' legitimately did or did not have that license. Surprisingly, it isn't unseen in the ''Transformers'' brand [[Best Join|for a bootleg]] to be sold as an [[Radio AM Robot|official toy]], but this "Battle Supplier", more than any other ToonTown release, is on such a blatant level of sketchiness that it invites extra skepticism. Maybe not a red flag, but dark orange. Perhaps someday Hasbro will provide us with answers!

:*''Accessories'': Laser blaster, left & right fists, light & sound module, 2 rocket launchers, 4 rockets, "Roller" scout car, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, trailer, 4 missiles

: Another South Korean ToonTown release with presumably official Hasbro co-branding, albeit one that oozes a more legitimate aura compared to the previous entry, this version of Optimus Prime - now adequately named - was actually manufactured under ToonTown's licensing by a different company called LALA Industry Co., which also produced a handful of ''Generation 2'' merchandise during this time. He's a fairly high-quality and accurate copy of his first 1992 ''Generation 2'' toy, bearing an all-new deco in black and white with red accents (that's surprisingly similar to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#CollabGB|a later Optimus Prime release]]), with his trailer and Roller also receiving a new dose of yellow to boot. His soundbox works, but now makes laser gun sounds rather than the infamous "I am Optimus Prime" voiceline - perhaps a change for the better, all things considered. And... He's also massively upscaled, with estimates suggesting that he's about 50% bigger than the original toy.

: As with the previous release, it is still up in the air whether or not this is an official toy. Considering that LALA seemed to be a more reputable company in general (they even had enough of a budget to run toy commercials advertising their ''Transformers'' merchandise during the 90s!) and that he features markings on the packaging seemingly promoting a national TV run of the ''Generation 2'' cartoon, the legitimacy of this Optimus Prime seems significantly more believable, but for lack of official Hasbro comment we cannot know with absolute certainty.

==''Beast Wars''==
{{Note|Very early in the life of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline (before the debut of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon), Hasbro treated the series as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and so Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime.}}

{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] is a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. It was packaged along with an alligator version of Megatron and a ''Beast Wars'' mini-comic.

:This figure was released during the short-lived period when Hasbro was treating the Beast Wars as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was also used to make the less ambiguous [[#AmazonConvobat|Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat]], the separate individual [[Convobat#Toys|Convobat]], [[Onyx Primal#Toys|Onyx Primal]] as well as inspire the comic character [[Nyx]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 "spinal swords", 4 "mega-blast missiles", "mace whip"
{{toydesigner|[[Yuichiro Hira]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped "mace whip" he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled "mega-blast missile" launcher. On his back were two more spring-loaded "mega-blast missile cannons"/launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:Just like Optimus Primal's basic bat toy, this figure was released during the short-lived period when the Beast Wars was still considered to be an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''[[TV Magazine]]'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''TV Magazine'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), and blue-fur (a ''[[Comic BomBom]]'' design-contest prize, only five awarded).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, 2 missiles

: Available only at [[KB Toys]], ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of the European Generation 1 exclusive [[Turbomaster]] leader [[Thunder Clash#Toys|Thunder Clash]]. It's easy to see why Thunder Clash was chosen to become the new Optimus Prime, given his adherence to Prime tradition: the truck cab disconnects to become the robot, while the trailer unfolds to become an assault tower with twin missile racks. On the original Thunder Clash version of the mold, the racks operated on a gravity-feed system where a new missile drops into the launcher from above each time one was fired, allowing for twelve to be fired in rapid succession using a pinball launcher style mechanism.
:For ''Machine Wars'' Prime, this feature had to be retooled [[for safety reasons]], sealing the gravity feed slot and cutting the original launcher plungers down to just the handles, which do not move. The small missiles were replaced with much larger new molds to prevent choking hazards and triggers were added to the sides of the launchers, becoming regular spring loaded (and unusually powerful) single-firing weapons. There seems to have been some disconnect between the deco artist and whoever handled the redone Thunder Clash [[sticker]]s, as some stickers replicate details already handled by paint on the figure. Not noted in the instructions is that the handgun is meant to serve as the drive shaft for the cab, storing between the legs on the backside. On a minor note, the redeco eliminates all [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|gold plastic]] from the toy, making it much more durable than Thunder Clash's original release.

: The [[package art]] for this toy is a retouched version of the art for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime (see above), but now positioned so one robot arm is always "off the edge" of the box and unseen - conveniently hiding the sword this toy has never had, yet leaving the Laser Prime faceplate intact.

: This version of the mold was planned to be [[redeco]]ed into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but the release was canceled.

:The first reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a Toys"R"Us exclusive. It was ''mostly'' identical to the original figure, save for some necessary modifications made [[for safety reasons]]. In the first instance of what would become a recognizable alteration to the mold, the toy's smokestacks were shortened. The Combat Deck's firing missiles were elongated to prevent potential choking, as was the case with all other Commemorative Series figures' firing missiles, and now plug into the Combat Deck via a "keyed" locking tab mechanism that reissues of the original figure continue to use to this day. This release also had the trailer's launching feature removed.

:In 2012, a reissue of the Commemorative Series toy was released. Though the "Commemorative Series" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name. The toy itself is a mix of different versions. The cab has the safety modifications of the original ''Commemorative Series'' release, including the shortened smokestacks and longer missiles (and thicker rifle), but also has the modified hitch of the 2011 ''Chronicle'' two-pack (see below). Meanwhile, the trailer features the lighter gray plastic colors used for the 2008 ''Universe'' release, and the Autobot insignias on the robot's shoulders are tampographed (like on Takara's ''Encore'' version and Hasbro's ''Universe'' 25th Anniversary release). This version also seems to suffer from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]].

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Ban Magami]] (concept artist)}}

:Marketed as a reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, this Toys"R"Us-exclusive Commemorative Series figure is in truth based on the Ginrai tooling on the toy that had previously been exclusive to Japan. It features a die-cast metal cab with translucent blue windows, and shortened, chrome smokestacks, and comes packaged with the drone [[Apex Bomber]] (formerly Ginrai's partner [[Godbomber]]), who splits into several components and combines with Prime to form "Apex Armor". As with all other Commemorative Series figures, Prime's new spring-loaded missile launcher featured an elongated missile.

:The figure was re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets in 2012, with no known changes to the figure itself but several modifications to the packaging that makes it easy to tell the two releases apart: The flap containing the [[package art]] is omitted entirely, the "Commemorative Series II" label is missing, the age recommendation and safety warning labels, the "Changes from double tractor trailer to battle station to super robot!" call-out and the name of the toy have all been shuffled around (with the words "battle" and "super" being omitted in the process), and most notably, the toy is no longer named "Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor", but simply "Optimus Prime", with Apex Bomber's existence no longer acknowledged anywhere on the packaging.

Additionally, Prime came packaged with a ring binder folder designed to hold the pull-out character file sheets that were included with all the other ''Transformers Collection'' reissues.

:''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime was produced for the stated milestone of the ''Transformers'' brand. So successful was the figure that ''ToyFare'' magazine ultimately ranked it #1 in their quest for "Best Toy Ever".<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/000054376.cfm ToyFare Magazine Best Toys Ever]</ref>

:Created with the specific purpose of producing an Optimus Prime as accurate to the original animated series as possible, the toy is exceptionally poseable compared to toys prior, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving [[mouthplate]] to emulate Prime's traditional method of speech, flip-up communications panels on the forearms depicting images of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], and an opening, light-up Matrix chamber in the chest, which contains a removable vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership that can also be pulled open. The Matrix is housed within a removable gray battery box which can light up the matrix core when activated.

:Optimus Prime comes with many accessories in addition to the aforementioned Matrix, including the character's traditional laser rifle, now termed (and henceforth known as) an [[ion blaster]]. The initial release of the figure cast the ion blaster in grey plastic, but later assortments recast it in its more familiar black coloration. Other accessories include a transparent orange energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when Prime's fist is retracted, and even a non-transforming gun mode Megatron weapon, with removable stock, silencer, and scope accessories, in homage to [[Countdown to Extinction (episode)|several]] [[The Insecticon Syndrome|instances]] in the Generation 1 cartoon when Prime was forced to wield his enemy. Pack-in bonuses that came with the figure included an inner cardboard tray illustrated to resemble the interior of Prime's Combat Deck, and in later releases, a small poster drawn by [[Pat Lee]].

:Optimus has a hidden sculpted mouth underneath his face mask, though attempts at removing the mask from the head may entirely damage the action feature.

:Takara's version of the figure was released in their markets slightly earlier, as the first of their long-running ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. In addition to coming with a cardboard trailer that the buyer could assemble to "complete" Prime's truck mode, Takara's release differed from Hasbro's by featuring longer smokestacks (kept short on the Hasbro version [[for safety reasons]]), and lacking the black scorch-marked "battle damage" paint applications Hasbro included on the figure's shoulders, wrists, and abdomen. In Western markets, the figure was intended to complement the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt Steve-o's OTFCC 2004 notes]</ref>

:This sculpt was redecoed by Takara into a golden Lucky Draw figure and later released in its original coloration with a trailer as a "Perfect Edition" (see below for both), while Hasbro would later redeco it into their ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-branded "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics 20th DVD Anniversary Collection|20th Anniversary DVD Edition]]". The mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and "[[Eldedroid|Convoy Black Version]]", representing one of many drones built in Prime's image, rather than Prime himself.

:In ''[[Transformers History Collection]]'', a [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] Transformers trading figure line, Takara released an add-on hand for ''Masterpiece'' Convoy as a [[Chase figure]]. The hand holds a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] figure and clips on to the end of Optimus Prime's arm, making the arm slightly longer than normal.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-1'''

:Offered as part of a Lucky Draw campaign in August 2004, this extremely rare version of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is almost entirely vacuum-metalized gold, lacking any other painted detail or stickers. The parts which are not viable are molded in a flat golden plastic; the only exceptions are its rubber tires, the core of the Matrix and the energon-axe, which remain black, blue and orange, respectively. Whether or not the figure was intended to evoke Optimus Prime's [[:File:Goldenlagoon prime perceptor.jpg|entirely-golden appearance]] in the cartoon episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", when he was coated with [[electrum]], is unknown; given that entirely chroming a figure gold is a fairly standard deco for Lucky Draw figures, it may just be happy coincidence more than anything else.

:The figure comes packaged in the standard ''Masterpiece'' Convoy box, with the only telltale sign of its fabled contents being the replacement of the traditionally silver foil lettering on the box with gold. It's not clear how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than 10 or 20.

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:For this re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy, Takara submitted to the biggest desire fans had for the figure and produced a full-size, fully transforming plastic and die-cast metal trailer. The trailer opens up into Convoy's Combat Deck, with storage for its accessories and a functional repair drone, though Roller is conspicuous by its absence. Like the original Combat Deck, the drone can extend through holes in the roof and front of the closed trailer, and the interior has enough room to accommodate one ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' figure in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Some reports suggest that the paint on this figure's chest chips more easily than past editions. The red paint on the cab is also a slightly lighter color than on MP01.

:This version of Convoy, and Hasbro's 20th Anniversary DVD version of the toy depicts [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on its communicators rather than Bumblebee and Starscream.

:Continuating the trend begun by their previous release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus in 2005, Hasbro [[Australia]] released Convoy Perfect Edition as a Target Australia [[exclusive]] in 2008. Takara themselves then made the figure available for a second time in October 2009.

:Released by TakaraTomy as part of their ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#TakaraTomy Welcome to Transformers 2010 campaign|Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' anniversary line honoring the "future era" of the original cartoon (which was set in 2010 in Japanese continuity, you see!), this exceptionally morbid re-release of the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy figure recolors the Autobot leader in <s>blacks and greys</s> ''very'' low-saturated reds and blues, representing ''his dead body'' from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''—but don't worry, kids, it's actually a "sleep mode", according to the figure's name! Limited to 2010 pieces in Japan (see what they did there?), it comes with all its customary accessories, including the Perfect Edition trailer, redecoed where appropriate: the trailer itself has become translucent, its energon-axe is now transparent grey, and Megatron, in another movie homage, is rendered in translucent purple, evoking the scene depicting his transformation into [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]. The figure was also released in other parts of Asia as a limited edition of 2010 as well, combined with the Japanese edition for 4020 total. The Japanese version denotes "Serial Number in Japan: ####/2010" on its bio card with the number out of 2010, while the Asian version denotes "C1 - ####/2010" with the number out of 2010 on its bio card.

:This version of Convoy depicts [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] on its communicators.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-1L'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, sound stage

:"Convoy Last Production" was the final re-use of the ''Masterpiece'' toy mold before it was at last retired after numerous re-releases and redecos. The figure is essentially identical to the original Japanese MP-1 release, aside from a slightly brighter red, and the addition of the words "LAST SHOT" in Transformers typeface molded into the small of Convoy's back, hidden beneath its headlight-flaps in [[robot mode]]. Lacking the trailer of MP-4, the figure instead comes with a redecoed version of the electronic base included with Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]" of the figure from five years prior, which now features a collection of sixteen soundbytes of Convoy delivering famous lines from the Japanese version of the Generation 1 cartoon, recited by the character's original Japanese voice actor [[Tesshō Genda]]. The base was promoted as containing a hint as to the identity of the next ''Masterpiece'' toy; as it would turn out, this was a new version of Convoy himself (see below), foreshadowed by a sound clip on the base which played only intermittently, and which had Convoy announce that he would "soon be reborn".

:For its release in Korea, Hasbro Asia provided a [[collector coin]] featuring truck-mode Optimus Prime on one side and "MP-01L" on the other. The coin came mounted on a card featuring lineart of the Autobot leader's head, the stark black design of which could be mistaken for promoting the earlier "Sleep Mode" release. The limited release (and general lack of enthusiasm for the collector coins in Korea) makes this one of the more difficult Masterpiece coins to find.

*'''Convoy''' ([[September 24]], 2011, 2016)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-10'''

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Junichi Akutsu]] (concept artist)}}

:MP-10 Convoy, advertised as a "perfect new model" on its packaging, is an entirely new tooling of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Convoy is now smaller, making him more in-scale with other recent ''Masterpiece'' toys, such as [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus]], and comes with a trailer and various accessories. While the front of the vehicle mode's cab is an accurate depiction of a mid-to-late-1980s Freightliner FLT cabover, the back half, (which is, as usual, made out of Convoy's legs) is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion. (So much that they sculpt a ladder on each side.)

:Many of the small features and electronics of the original ''Masterpiece'' mold are left out. Instead, this Convoy features better overall cartoon accuracy (chest interior, head, etc.), an extensive red paint job that covers much of his red plastic, corrected robot mode proportions, improved articulation, and its gun can now collapse and store inside a compartment on its back in either mode. In addition to Convoy's trailer, which can transform into Combat Deck, it also comes with Roller, a small Spike Witwicky figurine, a die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership (with a clear blue plastic center), and an energy axe that slips over Convoy's right hand. Spike can fit inside the cab in vehicle mode, ride in Roller's seat, or fit into any of the seating compartments inside Convoy's trailer. Roller has options to plug in Convoy's gun or pull Convoy's trailer, and the trailer itself can store Convoy's weapons in any mode. Although not easily breakable, care must be taken for posing the index fingers; extending the finger even far would cause it to pop off.

:MP-10 immediately became the gold standard in terms of scale for the Masterpiece line, with all subsequent releases being sized to best match him for nearly a decade.

:The trailer from this mold can be towed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|MPM-04 Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 8|Legendary Optimus Prime]] though this feature is undocumented on these toys.

:This figure was re-released in 2016, with the packaging now advertising the "Long Life Design" award which the ''Masterpiece'' line won that same year.<ref name="lldaward">[https://www.g-mark.org/award/describe/44648 Good Design Long Life Award: Transformers Masterpiece]</ref> This mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-10B Black Convoy]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

:An entirely new mold released to commemorate the brand's 35th anniversary, ''Masterpiece'' "Convoy Ver.3.0" is a much more complex and cartoon-accurate figure than previous releases. At 50,000 yen (approximately $450 USD), this Convoy had the highest MSRP of any mass-market ''Transformers'' toy until ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron|Unicron]]'s $575 price tag was announced.

:Alongside the Trailer (which retains the same function and can hold 4 standard-sized Autobot cars at a time when open), Roller, the Ion Blaster, Matrix of Leadership, and Energon Axe, the Combat Deck's base can be removed and with the new flip-out wheels, Roller (now cast in stark grey with silver rims) can tow it around. The cannon and arm section can also be removed so it can function as a flight stand, while an adapter for [[Dinobot (BW)#Masterpiece|MP-41 Dinobot]]'s display stand is also included, and the Ion Blaster now has 2 effect parts, which can simulate blaster fire and when used with the Sideswipe rocket pack included, can be used as booster flames. He also comes with a fuel hose like that on the original figure, as well as a soundbox feature that can be switched between recorded lines by the character's original Japanese ([[Tesshō Genda]]) and English ([[Peter Cullen]]) voice actors, with transformation effects (though the ascending and descending transformation sounds are spliced together in his English voice) and Douglas Walsh music to boot! As to note, Cullen's clips are closer to the recent [[Aligned]] portrayals.

:Like [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP36|MP-36 Megatron]], Convoy includes a battle-damaged head and an abdomen cover to replicate the war wounds in the climatic battle in the movie, and alongside a newly designed figure of Spike, he comes with two of Sparkplug and Carly, any of them capable of riding inside via 2 small doors on the side of the cab. A second alternate head is based on his head's rounder design seen in the first season of the cartoon and the Marvel Comics. His accessories can be stored in the trailer's removable undercarriage.

:This figure, with the included intakes and alternate head in place, also doubles as [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP44|Starscream]] from "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]".

:Unfortunately, Convoy has been known to suffer from differing quality control issues. Because of a design flaw, certain plastic parts in his lower ratcheted knee joints tend to build stress during movement and eventually break. Furthermore, grey and yellow paint in parts that tend to get scratched and bumped during transformation have been prone to paint chipping. Some units have come with their [[For safety reasons|soft plastic]] ear antennas on different heads warped in-package. The human minifigures can have their ball-jointed limbs rather easily popping out of their sockets and misassembled (in this case, Carly with her groin part in reverse from the front).

:Unlike MP-01 and MP-10, this version of Convoy did not get a fully localized Hasbro release for English-speaking markets. However, it is being imported by Hasbro through numerous retail outlets with additional branding using the localized Optimus Prime name and presumably with the same Hasbro-branded slipcover and English safety sheet given to other contemporary ''Masterpiece'' releases. In Canada, the figure is being released as an EB Games exclusive, where he'll cost even more than the game consoles sold there! Hasbro's online product description neglects to mention the voice box gimmick, possibly due to English-speaking audiences' unfamiliarity with Japanese ''Transformers'' media and the fairly late reveal of his English-language voice clips.

:This mold was redecoed as [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Black Convoy]], with the sound gimmick removed, and without the trailer, battle damaged, and Starscream parts.

:The trailer from this mold can be towed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#MasterpieceMPM12|MPM-12 Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (One)#BraveCommander|Brave Commander Optimus Prime]], though this feature is undocumented on these toys.

:As reported by TakaraTomy's employees at [[Cybertron Con]] 2024, this Optimus has [[Shelfwarmer|sold poorly during its debut]], which stems from his complex transformation and possibly design flaws.

:Released in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''Masterpiece'' MP-44S Optimus Prime is a redeco of "[[#MP44|Convoy Ver.3.0]]", featuring colors based on the [[#The Transformers|original ''The Transformers'' toy]]. Among the heaps of accessories included with the original release of Convoy, Optimus retains only his Ion Blaster (with its beam effect), Energon Axe, and the more rounded head styled after season 1 of the cartoon (here passing the squint test for the toy head). These accessories are the same as MP-49, but now includes the Transformers power base stand adapter. New for this release is a sheet of stickers to reproduce the, erm, sheet of stickers, included with ''The Transformers'' Optimus Prime. As with the previous trailer-less [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#MP49|MP-49 Black Convoy]], the soundbox has been neutered for this release.

:This redeco has noticeably different tolerance changes, with the joints being much tighter than both MP-44 and MP-49. Also unlike MP-49, the entire figure is painted albeit in a lighter, more resistive coat compared to MP-44. The "round head" was given blue eyes (a change from the promotional photos). With the adjusted tolerances in mind, the clips that hook the leg-stored cab panels into the gas tanks have been removed.

:Instead of the standard "Convoy" of Japanese releases based on older media, this toy uses the "Optimus Prime" name. It is explained as a name made popular by Hollywood movies—referring to the [[live-action film series]], which does not change character names in Japanese localization.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' toys, "G1 Convoy" (as he is amusingly referred to even in fiction) visibly takes some design cues from ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime, featuring a similar sculpt, but sharing few to none of the larger toy's other attributes.

: G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round 3 mm-compatible holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with ''Robotmasters'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Beast Convoy]]). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

: Due to being molded in translucent plastic, the waist section is prone to breakage, so exercise some caution.

: ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' "Spy Changer" Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Spychanger]] [[Scourge (RID)#Spychanger|Scourge]] toy, transforming into a Western Star 4964EX truck. He replaces most of the black plastic with predominantly red and blue, with silver for detailing. Like most Spy Changers, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly.

: Originally a [[KB Toys]] exclusive, the first release of this toy (and the others in the assortment) did not have any sub-line designation at all, but later releases for other chains, most notably "budget" chains like Family Dollar, marked them as ''Universe'' product.

: This mold was also redecoed into [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus Prime Figure|a Spy Changer version of the live-action movie Optimus Prime]].

{{toydesigner|[[Shōji Kawamori]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: ''[[Hybrid Style]]'' Optimus Prime is an ''insanely'' detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a ''Transformers'' figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode.

:Prime is loaded with a ridiculous number of features and accessories. The robot itself is highly poseable, and both the smokestacks on Prime's shoulders and the fuel tanks on his legs can be rotated forward to act as guns, even featuring sculpted detail to this effect. As ever, he comes with a trailer that opens up into his crazy-detailed Combat Deck, featuring more action features than ever before. In trailer mode alone, it features a flip-down support stand so it can stand alone, a spring-loaded pop-out ramp instead of a fold-down one, and when the trailer is split for transformation, the traditional support legs underneath automatically swing out into place. The trailer houses most of Prime's accessories, including his ion blaster (with a moveable ammo clip to allow for multiple poses) and energon-axe, as well as his classic gas pump accessory, now with a poseable wire instead of a rubber hose. Two fold-out compartments provide storage space for six of Prime's interchangeable fists, while the other two remain attached the robot: two clenched, two open, a pointing right fist, a tilted left fist (for holding the ion blaster's ammo clip), and two fists with slots to grip the miniscule Matrix of Leadership that fits in a tiny chamber in Prime's chest. The Combat Deck's artillery robot features two flip-out handles that Prime can grip as if aiming the drone's guns, and Roller is also included, with three different 3 mm ports to hold Prime's gun and gas pump. Lastly, Prime comes with a rocket pack like those used by the Autobots in such Generation 1 cartoon episodes as "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1|Dinobot Island]]", and a stand shaped like the Autobot insignia that allows him to be displayed in mid-air, as if in flight. The rocket pack also has 3 mm ports for Prime's weapons, and stores on the front of the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Purchase of a ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime at a Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] store allowed the buyer the option of also purchasing the exclusive ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|Hot Rod]] toy.

:The toy also received a Hasbro release 11 years later under the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#YOTR2017|''Platinum Edition'']] line.

:Available exclusively through e-HOBBY, this black and teal repaint of ''Hybrid Style'' Convoy features the traditional "[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]" color scheme, but represents a version of Optimus Prime himself. In addition to all the original accessories, the toys also includes several more deliciously metatextual goodies, themed around the ''Generation 2'' toy and comics: two new large guns patterned after the new weapons wielded by the ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy, and two additional (blue) Prime heads that can be swapped with the figure's regular noggin, sculpted explicitly in the style of [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]] artist [[Derek Yaniger]]. One head is pristine, the other decorated to match the battle damage seen on the cover of the [[War Without End!|first ''Generation 2'' issue]].

:As the more franchise-savvy TransFans may realise, these extra parts, plus the black trailer of Convoy Black Version, can all be used to modify the original, red ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime into a comic-accurate ''Generation 2'' version, complete with a black trailer, trailer-mounted guns and your choice of Yaniger-style heads.

:This figure came in a unique box, packaged with a [[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version|mini-comic]], both illustrated by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]].

{{toydesigner|[[Steve Bono]] (Hasbro)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his [[robot mode]] body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

:This figure was originally conceived by Hasbro to be another character (exactly who is unknown), rather than Optimus Prime, but Takara insisted that the toy be made into Optimus to help it sell well in their markets, as the vehicle mode was no particular draw, given its scarcity in Japan. Reportedly, the figure cost twice as much as other Alternators to construct, so Hasbro had to bow to this demand so Takara would help fund it. Ironically, Takara eventually wound up soliciting the figure ''not'' as Prime, but as his ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)#Transformers: Super-God Masterforce|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] (perhaps connected to the Powermasteresque headsculpt), before its Japanese release was cancelled and moved over into the ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' toyline (see below).

: It took two further years, but this figure was eventually released as part of the Japanese counterpart to the ''Alternators'' line (''Binaltech'') in 2008. ''Binaltech'' Convoy features some additional paint details, like his silver pelvis, additional patterns on his shoulders, and red paint on his engine-gun, and like all ''Binaltech'' figures, he also includes die-cast metal pieces. Unlike previous Binaltech releases, a bio-card was not included.

:This sculpt was also used to create ''Alternators'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''Alternators'' Optimus Prime. While the figures may appear similar at first glance, given that ''Kiss Players'' Prime is still red, blue and black, there are many subtle differences, not least of all the replacement of the ''Alternators'' figure's bare, flat red plastic with a deep metallic red paint. Several of his body parts are cast in different colors of plastic (for example, his shins, formerly black, are now blue, while his formerly-blue hands are now black), and he features more intricate paint applications on his shoulders, and especially his pelvis, which is decorated to look like Prime's traditional bumper.

:In addition to the small engine-pistol of his ''Alternators'' figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the ''Kiss Players'' figures, Prime also comes with a [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|''Kiss Players'' radio drama]], as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, "[[Someday, Beneath the Sun]]."

:This set was originally intended to be released under the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line, as "Black Convoy meets Marissa", but this release was cancelled before it was officially even announced.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster]], display stand
{{toydesigner|[[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

:Released in the first wave of ''Titanium Series'' 6-inch Cybertron Heroes figures, this figure is based on Optimus Prime's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] form as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic book "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]". Prime transforms into a comic-accurate Cybertronian truck in a few steps, and his ion blaster can be slotted in the back of the truck mode cab for storage.

:The figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: the word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his silver ion blaster. The paint on the handle of his ion blaster scuffs rather easily when placed into his hands.

:As a ''Titanium'' figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. For that reason, the tiny insufficient clips that hold his shoulders in place are highly prone to breaking off, leaving his shoulders floppy and unable to be secured in robot mode. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

:As the mass retail release of the last waves of the ''Titanium'' "Cybertron Heroes" figures was delayed for several months, the two-pack version of Megatron was at least initially more widely available than the individually packaged one.

:Despite being mentioned in the joint [[instructions]] leaflet for the set, neither figure includes their display base.

:In [[robot mode]], his wind vane transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon. The toy has a trailer hitch but does not come with a trailer.

:Unfortunately, the yellow paint on his forearms tends to flake off.

**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist)}}

: ''Classics'' "Ultimate Battle" Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class figure and transforms into a flat-nosed truck cab. The figure is armed with a tommy gun-shaped laser rifle that transforms into a turret-like configuration and mounts on the rear of his truck mode, and features a spinning "power punch" action that sees the whole upper half of his torso spin when a button on his back is pressed. Pressing the button "unlocks" the spinning mechanism; pull ''hard'' on the button, and you can lock the torso back into place.

:In the United States, Prime was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Megatron toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (the DVD was instead made available separately). In addition, Mexico, Singapore and some European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also received the two figures on individual cardbacks. For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and re-released in [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'']]-branded packaging later in 2007, available from Dollar General, Big Lots and [[KB Toys]], and ''again'' in [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']]-branded packaging in 2011, this time available from Dollar General and Big Bad Toy Store.

:This figure was later ''also'' made available without redeco as part of the "Leader for the Ages" two-pack released under the [[#Transformers (2007)|live-action movie line]] (see below) and saw several redecos for [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'']] ("Special Edition", below), ''[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' ("Sons of Cybertron", below) and [[#United|United]] (below).

: Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and its release on DVD by [[Sony]], this edition of Prime is a redeco of his ''[[#Masterpiece|20th Anniversary]]'' figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

:Prime comes with all the accessories of his previous release, although his ever-changing ion blaster is now somewhat confusingly cast in blue plastic. He features one major additional accessory: an electronic display base sculpted with the image of the Matrix and the Autobot insignia. Pressing the insignia's crest triggers a series of electronic soundbytes, mostly quotes from the movie recited not by original actor [[Peter Cullen]], but by Hasbro's in-house actor, [[Ron Hayden]]: "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City," "Megatron must be stopped!", "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck," and two samples of the classic [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]], one ascending, one descending.

:The display stand itself was later redecorated as a mail-in prize for Takara Tomy's "[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]" promotion, was intended to be used with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Convoy]] from "[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]", and was also redecorated in the "final production" run of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toys and as an Optimus Prime voiced stand for the Second Prize in the [[Arms Up Campaign ]].

*'''Pepsi Optimus Prime''' (Autobot, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, ion blaster, trailer

:Inspired by the [[#The Transformers|1985 promotional version]] of Optimus Prime that featured Pepsi stickers on his trailer, this outlandish incarnation of Prime is a slightly altered version of Takara's 2005 [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure (which represented a different character to Prime). The figure was only sold by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] at various conventions, and given away as a promotional prize by Pepsi, via their [[Mountain Dew]] brand.

:A redeco of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime cab robot sporting an egregious number of Pepsi-themed paint masks and details, Pepsi Prime's differences from Pepsi Convoy are minimal: he features the shortened smokestacks previously seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release of the mold, the blue pattern on his decals are different (matching the American Pepsi can/bottle look at the time rather than the one used in Japan), and also has a different layout for the Pepsi logo on his left shoulder. Like Pepsi Convoy, he comes with an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry either a single 500ml (16.9 oz) size [[soft drink]] bottle, three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). In a first for the Prime mold, the figure's fists store in holes on the underside of the trailer while he is in vehicle mode. His ion blaster (which also stores under the trailer) is the first Hasbro reissue to feature the original, thick-barrel sculpt, which was reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' release of Prime a few years prior.

:Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products, ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Convoy transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In [[robot mode]], he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This figure was, in fact, the ''only'' mold in the ''Sports Label'' line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create ''Sports Label'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]]''

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, but it did include the original, thick-barrelled version of Prime's rifle, as reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' version of the toy a few years prior. Both his blue and red plastics are lighter than normal, though not to the extent of Hasbro's subsequent 25th Anniversary release.

:Notably, this edition addresses the small but persistent issue of the Autobot insignias on Prime's shoulders: Ever since 1984, applying the stickers evenly had been a challenge due to small bumps the figure's shoulders are textured with. Like the [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure released two years prior, ''Encore'' Convoy replaces the stickers with [[tampograph]]s.

**''Accessories:'' Trailer/iPod dock, 2 fists (left and right), ion blaster

: Hot on the heels of their licensing deals with Pepsi and Nike, TakaraTomy got themselves a slice of Apple™ pie and released Convoy —playing [[iPod]] speaker— as part of their small, musically-themed ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' line. This version of Prime is an all-white redeco of the original Generation 1 cab robot, which (much like the "Marine Version" of Prime from the ''[[#Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' line) makes it seem like he ought to be Ultra Magnus. The figure is actually even derived from the retool of the mold created for the original Ultra Magnus figure, as distinguished by the elongated hubcap pegs on the front wheels. Like Pepsi Prime before it, the figure's fists now store in peg holes on the under side of its trailer. The toy lacks any of the original Prime's stickers (even the silver stripe on his chest is now a [[paint operation]]) and includes the original thick-barrelled version of Prime's blaster. The toy features a brand new headsculpt based on the [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] Prime figure, given additional poseability not previously seen on the figure by being mounted on a [[ball joint]].

:This, of course, is all secondary to the main draw of the figure: it pulls an all-white trailer, which transforms into a working iPod speaker dock by rotating a substantial wedge of its full length 90 degrees . The dock features three working buttons; power, volume up and volume down, as well as an Autobot sigil indicator light. Included is a wall-plugging (Japanese) A/C adaptor with a long lead that plugs into the reverse of the trailer. Although American importers shouldn't have too much trouble, those living in parts of the world using higher strength A/C current outlets should be warned NOT to simply plug the A/C adaptor in with only a socket adapter, as this will overload the device and fry it completely. Buying the appropriate kind of universal A/C adaptor with advice from an electronics specialty shop is recommended.

:Designated "Optimus Prime" rather than the traditional Japanese "Convoy", this figure is a redeco of the previous ''Music Label'' Convoy figure into the character's traditional red, blue and silver color scheme. Unlike previous re-issues of the mold, iPod Optimus Prime's sports a paint application similar to KissPlayers Convoy, having its ABS/PVC parts painted over with a thin layer of his iconic red, white (silver if you will) and blue motif paint applications (with the exception of his iPod docking trailer). This includes his trailer, though the effect is somewhat marred by the large, visible gap on one side. When reconfigured into dock mode, the interior surfaces surrounding the speakers are decorated with black-on-silver techno-patterns as well as three "Optimus Prime" logos. The recessed space also features a stylised, almost [[Frank Miller]]esque, high-contrast portrait of Prime's face, although this is largely covered when an iPod is inserted. The figure comes in identical packaging to the original ''Music Label'' Convoy, save for the addition of a sticker illustrating the different color of its contents.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Rounding out a bumper year of Japanese-[[exclusive]] Generation 1 Optimus Primes, the Takara-licensed Kawada brand ''Diablock'' Convoy is a fully transformable [[LEGO]]-style block building figure similar in premise to the earlier American ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets. The ''Diablock'' figure, however, easily outstrips the ''Built to Rule!'' sets by both being an accurate representation of the toy on which it is based, and being able to transform between modes ''without'' having to be partially disassembled and put back together first.

:Forming a roughly 11-inch figure when fully assembled, ''Diablock'' Convoy is highly articulated, save for his head, which is only able to move up and down. Said head is also by far the most stylised aspect of the figure, with no real attempt to approximate Prime's face or mouthplate, instead featuring only a reversed block that gives the odd impression of a cycloptic eye. It is possibly intended to actually represent his forehead grill, as a yellow block inside his head construction remains barely-visible through a slit in his face, possibly intended to represent the classic toy's yellow eyes.

:The figure's [[transformation scheme]] is based on the original G1 figure, the only differences being that the fists are not removed but become the headlights, and instead of flipping backwards inside the chest, ''Diablock'' Convoy's noggin flips forwards with the aid of opening chest windows. A "laser rifle" in the shape of his ion cannon can be built from black bricks, and stickers bearing the Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] can be placed on his shoulders, although this is not recommended as it is designed to permanently stick to multiple tiles which dislodge easily and may damage the sticker.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei! Transformers]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime. He features a significantly altered colour scheme, generally to make the toy more closely resemble his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon and the original toyline. His truck mode features less silver paint striping, but compensates with a [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] grill/fender area. In [[robot mode]] all of his previously grey plastic is replaced with red plastic, with a majority of it being painted silver, chromed, or painted gunmetal gray. He features a different shade of red, blue, and clear blue plastic than the Classics version. Since ''Henkei!'' toys do not feature a heat-sensitive rubsign, ''Henkei'' Convoy has two Autobot sigils tampographed onto his shoulders.

:Sold at the rather exorbitant price of $75, this re-release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is actually one of the most visually different from the other "straight" reissues of the mold, despite Hasbro's assurance that this is the toy you had as a kid. Positively ''anemic'' in comparison with the original toy, this Prime's red parts are visibly paler than usual, while his blue parts are much lighter (although the version released at Canadian retail reportedly sports a deeper shade of red again). This shade of blue extends to both Roller (a lighter blue than his traditional dark shade, yet darker than the lightest the figure has been in its history) and the internal workings of his Combat Deck, which is itself a much flatter shade of light grey, compared to its normal dark, swirled metallic silver color. In addition, the toy features the now-customary shortened smokestacks, and the elongated missiles seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release, while the Autobot insignias on his shoulders are no longer stickers, but rather tampographs, like on Takara's ''Encore'' release. While all reissues of the Prime mold since 2003 have used the original thick-barreled mold for his ion blaster, this version includes the slender sculpt instead.

:As a 25th anniversary set, Prime includes several new pack-in bonuses: a reprint of the [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the original [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comic book]], a DVD containing all three parts of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] pilot [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|"More than Meets the Eye"]], and three desktop wallpapers, and a battery-powered Autobot symbol that plays transforming sound effects, part of the first version of the ''Transformers'' [[theme song]], and three voice clips performed by Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobot, transform and roll out!" and "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." There are some reports that the Autobot symbol could be worn out or damaged during the time of purchase.

:Outside the United States, this set was available in a thinner rectangular box. It contained all the original accessories from the American release, but not the DVD. An English-only version of this packaging format was available in Asia and Australia (initially only available at Myer stores, but later also at Toys"R"Us, Kmart and Target, eventually at drastically reduced prices), while a bilingual English/French packaging variant was available in Canada, still including—though not advertised on the packaging—the (English only) comic book.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}

:''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Convoy transforms into a 1:32 scale 2007 Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm. In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, this figure specifically represents the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Story of Binaltech|Optimus Prime]] of [[universal stream]] [[BT World|Primax 903.0 Beta]].

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:''Alternity'' Convoy was simultaneously available in both this silver coloration, and a deco based on his traditional appearance termed "Vibrant Red" (see below). The figure was later redecoed to create "[[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Alternity 2|Convoy [Super Black]]]" (representing not Optimus Prime, but ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]]), ''Alternity'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Alternity|Ultra Magnus]], and ''Alternity'' [[Dai Atlas (G1)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]].

: Part of the sixth wave of ''Transformers'' Deluxes (the second and final wave of ''Reveal the Shield''), this Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#LaserOptimusPrime|see above]]). Transforming into an International 8200 truck, he has some influences from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus Prime]], including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic [[robot mode]] proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a [[light-piping]] effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he's part of ''Reveal the Shield'' and features a [[rubsign]], this time on the roof. He is also ''very'' articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ''and'' [[Swivel joint|hinged]].

: The original Hasbro [[Stock photography|stock photos]] depict him as having red [[paint operation]]s on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.

: Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a [[design flaw]], inferior plastic quality, or both: due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate [[5 mm post]]s, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually ''breaking'' on either location thus far.

: This toy was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#BotCon2012|Optimus Prime]] and ''Timelines'' [[Scourge (RID)#Timelines|Scourge]], and was retooled into ''Timelines/Shattered Glass'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]].

:The third ''United'' Optimus Prime toy is a redeco and slight retool of the [[#Transformers (2010)|Deluxe Class figure]] from Hasbro's 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline, itself an homage to Prime's ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|"Laser" form]]. The toy features translucent blue plastic as opposed to Hasbro's orange, red paint is used on the biceps instead of blue paint, extra red paint applications on the knees like the original's sticker detail, and more broken-up red apps on the shoulders. Silver detailing was added to the cab mode on the grill, the bumper, and near the doors. The blue plastic in cab mode is now black plastic to make the figure more accurate to the ''Generation 2'' original. The gray plastic is changed from the Hasbro version to more closely match the [[#G2reissue|2006 reissue of Laser Optimus Prime]]. Black paint was applied to the cab mode to mimic the fade from red to black on the original Laser Optimus, but still includes a flame deco like the Hasbro version, only in a different design. It lacks the roof-mounted rubsign of the Hasbro version, instead including Autobot insignias on the cab doors. (Disappointingly, they are Generation 1 insignias, rather than ''Generation 2'' ones!) Additionally, a retool was made to the peg on the inside of his right shoulder, to make it shorter and wider than the Hasbro version, allowing it to move freely without hitting the torso, unlike the Hasbro release.

*'''Black Optimus Prime''' ([[June 16]], 2012)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/blaster, wind vane/cannon

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at the [[Tokyo Toy Show]] 2012 (along with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Shining|''Prime'' Shining Optimus Prime]]), Black Optimus Prime is a very minor redeco of the previously unreleased [[#GenteiBlack|''Gentei! Gentei!'']] black version of [[#Henkei! Henkei!|''Henkei! Henkei!'' Convoy]], itself a redeco of the [[#Classics (2006)|''Classics'' Voyager Class toy]]. As such, Black Optimus Prime is mostly cast in black plastic, with some gray parts, translucent red windows and teal paint operations.

:The only differences with the unreleased version, aside from the packaging, are that silver paint has been added to the previously unpainted grill/fender area, the blue paint operations have been changed to teal, and the red Autobot insignias have been replaced by purple Decepticon ones. Prime's [[bio]] apparently explains that he took on this new color scheme in order to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks, in response to recent attacks by some new Decepticon forces pretending to be Autobots.

*'''G1 & Movie Sōshireikan Set''' (multi-pack, 2011)
**''ID number:'' '''CH01'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster|Laser rifle]], trailer

:This reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure comes in a two-pack with the Deluxe-Class ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime figure]]. Prime himself is almost identical to the ''Encore'' release, save for his trailer hitch which was retooled to allow a peg to be inserted within it while still being able to be inserted into the trailer itself (making it compatible with his G1 trailer and the new trailer included). Like the Encore release, he features lighter colors and tampographed shoulder symbols (which vary slightly from the Encore release).

:His original trailer is not included with the set; instead, he comes with [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|a new deluxe-scaled trailer]], not available with any other figure, based on the one towed by Prime in ''Dark of the Moon''. The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5 mm post|5 mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

:Oddly, for their official [[stock photography|promotional photography]], Takara took an existing photo of Optimus Prime's robot mode that was at least a decade old, having previously been used as a very early (and inaccurate) illustration for Hasbro's then upcoming ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' reissue of the figure.

*'''Matrix Optimus Prime''' (2011)
**''Pieces'': '''10'''
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

: Intended to be [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2011]], this redeco of the regular Optimus Prime Kreon has an open chest showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] within. He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand.

: We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in ''loads'' of other places—it was handed out at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), as a free gift on the cover of the ''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]'', and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the [[United Kingdom|UK]] children's comic, ''[[Doctor Who]] Adventures'' (but not the UK's [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers comic]], you'll note!).

:A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see below). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.

**''Set number'': '''30689'''
**''Pieces'': '''542'''
**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on Generation 1 Optimus), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

: The smaller of the two Optimus Prime kits in year one, this version is based more on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|original Optimus Prime]]. The small cabover-style tractor-trailer truck build is solid, unable to seat any Kreons inside. The robot mode is heavily restricted in its articulation, with no knees, and only single-direction-swivel elbows and shoulders.

His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreons, based on the [[#The Transformers|original Optimus Prime toy]]. His "normal" helmet (and small sword) are [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]], plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984". This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online after the convention, but as the set sold out at the show, that never happened.

: Released in the third wave of "Brick Box" sets, and found only at Dollar General stores, this version of Optimus Prime uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face and torso tampographs are new.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year Sideswipe set (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to make whatever with.

: Part of the first wave of "Battle Changers", this version of Optimus Prime is a ''severely'' built-up Kreon that transforms from truck into a robot and back without removing any parts! However, the sheer chunkiness of his limbs hanging off a Kreon torso make for awkward positioning and questionable balljoint grip strength.

:This version of Battle Changers Optimus was only available in a two pack set with [[Megatron (Kre-O)#Battle Changers|Battle Changer Megatron]]. He is ''largely'' the same construction as as the single release, but has numerous small differences. He uses a new "double harness" piece on his torso instead of using two harnesses, leaving more space for his head to grip the neck-post, and his chest/windshield parts are each a single clipped "flag" part rather than the multi-part assembly of the single-pack. And of course there's the additional trailer, which doesn't have any official robot mode rebuild, and only loosely "connects" to the truck-mode Optimus by being lightly hooked to a single short bar on the back of Optimus's right leg.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). Another is based on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]] (Soundwave helmet), and the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?

:[https://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=400&size=1&image=29 First shown at New York Toy Fair 2015], the Mini-Con Combiners were apparently cancelled without fanfare... a decision that must have come late in the day, as they went on to star in their own promotional animation, "[[Stuck in a Tree]]", released about eight months after the trade show.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Battle Upgrade, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''18'''
**''Accessories'': Missile-launching rifle, missile, energy axe, cannon, left & right rocket pods, "Ultra Magnus" right forearm & fist
:Part of the first wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Optimus is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

:He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

:While he is the same size as a standard Hero Masher, his larger [[size class|price point]] is made up for with a lot more parts and gimmicks. Both of his hands are removable, which allows for accessories to be placed in his wrist sockets, notably his iconic "energy axe". His rifle is a spring-loaded missile launcher. He also comes with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Ultra Magnus]]'s right arm, which is a [[redeco]] of ''Hero Mashers'' [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Bulkhead]]'s, only molded to remove that toy's missile-launching gimmick.

:Part of the first (and only) wave of larger electronic ''Hero Mashers Transformers'' toys, the base Optimus Prime figure in this set is ''almost'' identical to the above "Battle Upgrade" toy; this version has a closed right fist that can hold accessories rather than the Battle Upgrade version's finger-pointy one.

:However, this set comes with a completely different (and much larger) pile of accessories to turn Optimus (or any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure) into a hulking armored warrior. He comes with an extra left forearm with an electronic light, used to light up clear-plastic accessories when they're plugged into his wrist socket. Several of these accessories take inspiration from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]]'s gear, notably a very ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''-esque shield.

:Oddly, the big stompy boots accessories are designed in a way that Optimus is really far back in them, leaving a huge gap between his shins and the boots' "knee" guards. Presumably this is to accommodate other ''Hero Mashers'' toys with much larger footprints.

Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the sword that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the sword.

:Legion Class Optimus Prime has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] repleaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version.

:This figure was made available again, without any changes, in 2015, this time in new packaging resembling the then-concurrent packaging design for the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia., and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

**''Accessories'': Weapons, 4 Gun/Fist/Foots
:Takara's iteration of ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus Maximus is sold in a gift set including all five Autobots (minus the Rodimus mold). This version of Convoy has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Like ''Unite Warriors'' [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|Menasor]], the set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Convoy for increased stability. He also had the slightly modified pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack, Runabout, and Runamuck) can securely attach to, which was previously used for Battle Core Optimus Prime. The tampographed Autobot insignia on the roof/flip-out head joint is now re-positioned to his side truck panels.

:Compared to the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' release]] of the mold, Convoy features additional paint operations on the thighs, truck bumpers, the details on the inner legs, the gestalt chest halves (which are now painted over due to being molded in grey plastic), and the gestalt torso's lower section. The stomach's deco is also minimized, and the silver paint operations on the lower legs are now replaced with gunmetal while the mute metallic blue is now shiny metallic. When it comes to unpaintable plastic; his knee joints and feet are blue while the majority of the shoulder joints are now red. In addition, his gestalt skirt flap is now molded in the same grey color, and the leg panels and thighs are now molded in black, with the latter being painted in silver with some yellow details. As the thighs are painted, care must be taken while transforming him in both modes, as they're somewhat prone to paint scraping. To minimize the damage, the two rear halves must be opened first to transform the legs.

:Despite the ratchet fix, however, Convoy is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to several design failures attributed to his torso mode. The square holes and tabs used to secure the arms together when in torso mode are too weak to remain locked in place (though a very small number of copies can secure the arm well), and are prone to falling out of position should an attached arm be moved. The torso mode's skirt plate is also attached to the stomach rather than the pelvis, rendering the waist swivel nearly worthless due to the skirt obstructing articulation.

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}
:INFOBAR Optimus Prime (ANNIN) is a redeco of INFOBAR Optimus Prime (NISHIKIGOI), transforming into a recreation of the ANNIN edition of the INFOBAR cellphone. All-white in cellphone mode, he sports additional blue and red detailing in robot mode. Surprisingly, this white repaint of Optimus is not based on Ultra Magnus, but rather his [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|movie incarnation]]. Like the other figures in this line, he is not a working cellphone but can be paired via Bluetooth with a smartphone, such as an iPhone, to act as a notification alarm in either robot or INFOBAR mode. The screen is non-functional, but pre-printed cards are included which can be slid into the screen to show an Autobot logo, Decepticon logo, a mockup of a cellphone home screen, or a technical "Transformers INFOBAR" design. The figure also includes a display stand.

:This figure was also retooled into [[Megatron (G1)/toys#au x Transformers|INFOBAR Megatron (BUILDING)]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#au x Transformers|INFOBAR Bumblebee (ICHIMATSU)]].

{{toydesigner|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}
:Released in the first wave of the [[Transformers Authentics|''Authentics'']] toyline, "Autobot Optimus Prime" is roughly the size of a 2015 [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Mini-Con Battle Packs|''Robots in Disguise'' Battle Pack]] toy. He changes from an [[evergreen]]-inspired robot into a more G1-based truck in just four steps. His instructions are incorrect; for truck mode, his legs must be folded in before the arms, otherwise the locking tabs on the arms will get in the way. Due to his transformation, he ends up with no elbows and a fake chest. He also has problems standing up due to hollow legs.

His vehicle modes are both adorned with the "''fūrinkazan''" kanji from Ryu's belt: 風林火山 ("as fast as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as daring as fire, and immovable as the mountain"). He transforms from robot to tanker truck to plane and back. Both vehicle modes have "cockpit" areas to seat any [[Titan Master]] (or compatible) figure. Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager class figures, he has built-in mechanisms to "bulk up" his noggin. In his case, these are spring-loaded pylons. The smaller Headmaster's robot mode is also painted to resemble Ryu.

[[File:Robosen_Optimus_Prime_stock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|This isn't your slightly older brother's [[Automorph Technology|automorph.]]]]
*'''Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Robot''' (2021)
**''Accessories'': carrying case, laser rifle, energy axe, non-removable exhaust pipes, wall charger, micro USB to USB 2.0 cable

:[[Robosen]]'s Optimus Prime is a highly interactive, programmable transforming robot. With over 5,000 pieces, 60 microchips, 27 servo motors, 6 high-intensity [[light-emitting diode|LED]]s, 80 different sound effects including voice clips from Peter Cullen, a dedicated iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, and a pricetag of $750 USD, it blurs the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics." Users can choose between multiple ways to control its robotic movements: including pre-programmed voice commands, pre-programmed app controls, or user-created movement scripts. In truck mode, it can drive as directed or honk its horn. In its [[#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]-influenced 19"-tall robot mode, it can execute a long list of included scripted actions featuring voice and sound effects, plus an infinite variety of user-programmed poses and user-scripted movement sequences. It has distinct attack movements and sounds to be used with its weapons, and has flip-out wrist communicators featuring sticker images of Megatron and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]].

:The main power source is an internal rechargeable lithium ion [[battery-powered motor|battery]]. The truck's front bumper flips down to expose the charging port and the separate micro USB interface port. A replaceable CR 1220 3V battery powers the "laser rifle's" LED; it's not really a laser, but it's bright. The instructions say don't look straight at it.

:In voice command mode, the spoken user command for conversion between truck and robot modes is officially supposed to be "[[Trademark#Genericized trademarks|convert]]," but secretly the toy will respond the same if you say "transform." It also responds to more than 30 other simple words and phrases which trigger other animations and basic functions: such as: "turn left" to turn left, "move right" to step to the right, or "hero" to strike a superheroic ground-punching pose. 6 months after launch, the Robosen software developers were still releasing new movement animations and firmware updates via channels that can be found in the official app, with no announced end date for their continuing improvements.

:27 servo motors might sound like a lot, but compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing hundreds and hundreds (''and hundreds!'') of dollars less, this item does lack some some pretty standard joints: such as neck rotation, wrist rotation, and thigh swivels.

:Although this Optimus Prime does mostly transform on its own, there are some additional manual adjustments required to make each mode look the way it's advertised. In robot mode, one red panel can be removed from the back of the head, and the gas tanks can be moved into a lower position on the legs. If the gas tanks are not lowered, they can protrude enough to obstruct animation. For vehicle mode, the removable red panel should be reattached, gas tanks moved back so they don't cover the wheels, and the side-view mirrors can be flipped out.

:In truck mode, especially via app control, Optimus is a fully functional remote control vehicle that can move forward, backward, and turn. Its steering does not happen the way real trucks do when they tilt the axles of the front wheels within their wheel wells; Instead, Optimus turns by throwing both legs simultaneously to one side or the other, which gives the appearance that the entire cab is pivoting around a central axis.

:In robot mode, Optimus' default idle behavior is not to stand perfectly still. Instead, he will slowly "breathe" with a subtle inhaling/exhaling motion like a human would have after aerobic exercise. From there, he will occasionally shift into other statuesque poses.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Optimus is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:None of the toy's motorized joints are capable of supporting substantial weight without electricity. This means that when powered off, the robot cannot stand upright without external support. If the toy is in robot mode and senses its batteries are getting low, then to prevent a damaging fall, it will automatically shift into a droopy squatting pose that it can safely sustain while powered off. The average operating time from a full battery charge is approximately 40 minutes. The charging port is not accessible while the robot is standing up. Plugging in the charger while the toy is powered on might endanger fragile components.

:Yes, the above means that this toy in effect cannot be displayed in robot mode when not in active use. It can't really be displayed in the proper truck mode either, as the robot legs need battery power to stay rigidly locked into truck configuration and will droop when turned off. It is rather clearly intended to remain in its protective carrying case most of the time.

:Aside from the laser rifle, none of the LED lights in the eyes, headlights, or tail lights can be deactivated while the toy is powered on. In robot mode, the brake lights shine brightly from the backs of the feet, and the headlights shine from within the forearms. Some of the pre-programmed actions exploit this deliberately, by having Optimus brandish his bright headlights as flip-out weapons. The laser rifle's LED turns on and off with its own physical switch.

:Many of the pre-loaded animations assume Optimus is holding his gun in his right hand and/or that he is holding his axe in his left hand. The toy has no sensors to detect whether those accessories are in place, and the app does not consistently label which animations use accessories. It also does not label the many animations that might damage the toy if attempted while accessories are attached, but <s>transforming</s> converting him or punching the ground would be a bad idea. So don't activate any animations while the accessories are attached unless you're sure you know what will happen.

:In addition to action/fighting/greetings animations, there are also many silly animations available from the official download page, including: Air Guitar with the G1 cartoon theme song, air drumming, a gyrating silent "Christmas" dance, doing push-ups then getting exhausted and passing out, and the {{w|Dab_(dance)|Dab}}.

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences: such as a head nod, a full mode conversion, or vehicle driving commands.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Prime's knuckles and feet will instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users report toppling issues due to a ''lack'' of traction.

:The sound effect for Prime's gun is of a distinctly "realistic" machine gun, and Hasbro has stated this effect may be changed.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/22623017/optimus-prime-transformer-auto-converting-programmable-robot-hasbro-robosen Review of Robosen Optimus Prime] mentioning the sound effect choice</ref>

:Accurate 3-D images of this Robosen toy appear throughout its app interface, but the app also decorates prominent buttons with drawings of ''[[Evergreen]]'' Optimus. The app and manual also contain many mistakes in spelling, grammar, typography, labeling transposition, etc.

:This item was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in April 2021, and began shipping to purchasers in October 2021. The TakaraTomy release of the figure is unchanged, though the dialogue is swapped from English to Japanese with [[Tesshō Genda]] reprising his role.

:A ''massive'' (and similarly pricy) [[Combat Deck (G1)#Robosen Collector's Edition|auto-converting trailer]] with [[Roller (G1)#Robosen Collector's Edition|Roller]] was later released to pair with this Optimus, as well the powered [[Flight stand#Robosen|Robosen AI Base]] which allows for prolonged display in robot mode.

:The first ever collaboration between [[Hasbro]] and one of its main competitors, [[LEGO]], 10302 Optimus Prime is a fully brick-built model of the Autobot leader standing 13.5 inches tall, released under LEGO's ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Icons|Icons]]'' theme. Unlike (most of) Hasbro's ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets that preceded it, this ''LEGO'' Optimus Prime set is fully transformable from robot to truck mode without having to disassemble any parts.

:A tall, top-heavy model, stability concerns mean he is not as articulated as a normal action figure, notably lacking bending knees. He includes an optional waist piece for fans to either display him with the Generation 1 toy-accurate truck bumper or the cartoon-accurate yellow block-shaped detail. He also includes a (then) brand-new piece for his [[mouthplate]] (named the ''Slope, Curved 33 2 x 2 Double / Inverted'' on BrickLink, with the item number being #1762), which has since gone on to be used in plenty of other LEGO sets.

:Prime comes with a plethora of brick-built accessories. He includes his ion blaster, his "Energon axe" (which can plug into either wrist once you remove the fist), a pink "Energon cube", the "Autobot Matrix of Leadership" (which can be stored inside his chest), and a jetpack based on the one he borrowed from [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]" (which can be attached to his back). Aside from the Matrix, only the ion blaster has dedicated storage when Prime is in truck mode, fitting between his legs to form the truck's trailer hitch; according to a small trivia blurb in the instructions, this is because the ion blaster was the only accessory in the set that was also included with the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy. Of course, this is LEGO we're talkin' about, so if you want, you can store the rest of the stuff on him anywhere you see some exposed studs!

:To round things out, an ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Ultimate Collector's Series|Ultimate Collector's Series]]''-styled display plaque featuring Optimus Prime's name (in both English and Ancient Autobot), function, motto, and [[Tech Spec]]s is included.

:Optimus Prime's [[Instructions|instruction booklet]] contains a short segment written by none other than LEGO Senior Designer [[Joe Kyde]], which showcases the history of the ''Transformers'' brand and the character of Optimus Prime. Unfortunately, said instructions also contain an assembly error: the stickered details on Prime's thighs are applied upside down compared to the Generation 1 [[character model]]. This error is also present on the [[stock photography]] on the packaging. Fortunately, the panels can be removed easily and reinstalled in the correct orientation for a more accurate robot mode. The aforementioned blurb also contains an amusing compromise—giving up on any attempt to reconcile Optimus's famous catchphrase and the need to protect Hasbro's ''Transformers'' [[trademark]], it renders the iconic command as [[:File:Convert and roll out.jpg|"Autobots, ''convert'' and roll out!"]]

*'''Optimus Prime Robot & Vehicle''' (''Brickheadz'', [[2025]])
**''Release date'': [[March 1]], 2025
**''Set Number'': '''40803'''
**''Brickheadz ID number'': '''260 Optimus Prime''' / '''261 Optimus Prime Truck'''
**''Pieces'': '''237'''

:Released as part of LEGO's ''BrickHeadz'' theme of [[super deformed]] characters (a line launched by the Danish brand in 2016 as a competitor of sorts to [[Funko Pop!|Funko Pops]]), this set includes two builds of Optimus Prime, one in his robot mode and another in his vehicle mode, both of which can be built and displayed separately. Unlike LEGO's previous Prime, this model features a color scheme closer to the cartoon design rather than the toy. Like the rest of the ''BrickHeadz'' toyline, he features no stickers, with all of his details being printed onto the pieces instead, which comes in rather handy for LEGO MOC designers who might want to reuse the many little windows and insignia included in this set. The sides of his head feature a pair of 2x2 round tiles with Autobot insignia, something that did not appear on said cartoon design but, again, certainly helps with MOCs.

:Optimus has no accessories and, as customary with ''BrickHeadz'' toys, no articulation to speak of, but is very proficient at just standing cutely! The truck on the other hand, can be popped off the base and rolled around!

:A common gag across BrickHeadz toys is the inclusion of pink bricks within the structure of their heads, suggesting the characters' brains. Prime and his wave-mate [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#BrickHeadz|Bumblebee]], however; actually have transparent pink bricks inside their heads, representing Energon cubes instead!

*'''Optimus Prime Set'''
**''Release Date'': June 30, 2022
**''Accessories'': Blaster, "[[Flight stand#Official Transformers flight stands|Tenseg Base]]"
:This uniquely branded ''Anti-Gravity Pedestal Tenseg Base'' release of Optimus Prime is a redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Ultra Magnus]]'s inner robot. Optimus Prime comes with a silver "Tenseg Base" which he can attach to, simulating a "floating" pose. Optimus Prime retains ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''/''Kingdom'' Ultra Magnus's blaster accessory, colored in a darker metallic gray in a possible attempt to emulate Prime's usual [[ion blaster]].

:Unusually for TakaraTomy, the vehicle mode stock photos are slightly mistransformed - the upper body isn't slid all the way forward, which makes the truck grille appear misaligned. Also, the Hasbro Pulse listing of the figure labels it as a "[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'']]" figure, likely because the figure's box comes sheathed in a ''Masterpiece'' branded sleeve.

:Sold separately are two alternately colored bases; one in heroic Autobot red and the other in '''EVIL''' Decepticon purple. Initially due for release in March 2022, Prime and the bases were eventually released on June 30.

:In a happy accident of cross-compatibility, Tenseg Base Optimus Prime can be equipped with the armor and alternate head included with ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Ultra Magnus]] to replicate the [[:File:RedCabPoweredConvoy.jpeg|red cab variant]] of ''[[Diaclone]]'' Powered Convoy released in [[GiG]]'s short-lived ''[[Trasformer]]'' {{sic}} toyline, minus Super Buggy.

:''[[Canon/Transformers]]'' Optimus Prime is a roughly Leader Class-sized figure that transforms into a fully licensed Canon [[EOS R5]] digital camera. The toy is 80% the size of the genuine article and features a removable lens attachment, though it must be reattached to him before he can transform to robot mode since it forms his head and arms. The lens cap is removable and is used as a shield in robot mode. His included [[Matrix of Leadership]] can be pegged onto his lens, just behind the front element. He also comes with a small version of his own camera mode.

:Both his Matrix and small camera accessory can be pegged into his palms. His hands feature a range of movement, with the thumb and index finger being articulated and the remaining fingers joined together.

: Produced in collaboration with Japanese space agency {{w|JAXA}} and {{w|Toyota}}, Lunar Cruiser Prime is a roughly Voyager-sized figure that transforms into the as-of-2023 current version of Toyota's "Lunar Cruiser" concept for an enclosed lunar rover, in part to promote TakaraTomy's own unmanned "SORA-Q" rover, which successfully deployed on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in January 2024 (after some delays). The large solar panel can tab onto the tube on the left side of the vehicle, or be folded in half and tucked away inside the vehicle's back end. The round roof-mounted antenna is on an adjustable armature. Despite not including any hand-mounted accessories or weapons, the figure features 5 mm compatible fists as well as hinged knuckles, allowing the hands to open.

: In robot mode, Prime can hold the solar panel like a shield. Both the shield and radar dish can attach to the adjustable "smokestack"-like assemblies on each of his shoulders, leaving his hands free. A [[Matrix of Leadership]] can also be spotted molded into the drivers' compartment.

:The figure was made available one month ahead of its general release on Japanese crowdfunding site Campfire in four tiers:
::* A version identical to the general release.
::* A package including a modular ''Masterpiece'' style stand.
::* A package with a thank you message on the TakaraTomy website, available to 40 people.
::* A package with a personal thank you message from [[Tesshō Genda]], the iconic original Japanese voice of Optimus Prime available to 10 people.

: The campaign opened at 10 AM on [[June 8]], 2023 and ran through midnight on [[July 17]]. Within the first 24 hours it blew past 300% of its initial 1 million JPY (approx. $7200 USD) goal. This toy was also available through [[Hasbro Pulse]], due to ship on [[June 30]] 2024... but other US-based outlets began shipping them in early March of 2024.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy),<ref name=Gens24>[https://www.soundwavesoblivion.com/techspecs/interviewhironorikobayashi.html Interview] with [[Hironori Kobayashi]] on the ''[[Missing Link]]'' toyline for ''[[Transformers Generations 2024]]'', translated at Soundwaves Oblivion</ref> [[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist), [[Shin Ueda]] (packaging artist)}}<ref name = "Missing Link">Article on Missing Link Convoy in [[Figure King]] issue 308 (September 2023), p109</ref>

:Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers'' brand, ''[[Missing Link]]'' Convoy's appearance is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' toy—but with the benefit of forty years of advances in toy engineering. It retains almost all of the original toy's [[gimmick]]s, and adds a bunch more.

:Although superficially identical to the vintage figure, its engineering has received a total overhaul to add a load of new points of [[articulation]]. Compared to the original, the toy boasts [[ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet]]ed elbows and knees, hinged knuckles, wrist curls, ankle tilts, a deeper forward bend for the feet, double-jointed outward shoulder motion, universal joints at the hips (with the wheels now folding out on skirts to accommodate outward leg motion), along with a neck [[Swivel joint|swivel]], a limited waist swivel and even an ab crunch! Unusually, the toy's [[instructions]] specifically demonstrate how to make use of all these new points of articulation. Where the original toy famously had [[Partformer|detachable]], easy-to-lose fists, this isn't the case with this modern update; the new, slightly smaller fists tuck neatly behind the grille (as with many other modern takes on this basic transformation scheme), revealing a pair of headlights — instead of holes — in the process. To facilitate the vast improvements to the lower body articulation and to help support the legs in truck mode, the toy foregoes one of the most iconic steps in the original transformation — where swinging the truck bed down causes it to separate into the legs — instead mounting the hips on individual [[slide joint]]s that must be carefully wiggled apart past a bracket in the middle first. These intricate plastic components are surrounded by heavy die-cast parts, and the thigh swivels in particular can be extraordinarily tight on some copies, which makes posing the legs feel ''precarious'' to say the least! We would advise maintaining a firm grip on the red sliding brackets and die-cast hips, as close to the joint being moved as possible, to prevent any excessive leverage being applied.

:All of the original accessories are included with this revamped release, plus some extras. The [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s launching mechanism has been nixed, in favor of allowing the repair drone to detach from the trailer and roll around on its own wheels. [[Roller (G1)|Roller]] (colored silver, not blue) has a new hinge to allow the port for the [[ion blaster]] to rotate out of sight, being replaced with a painted red light detail (harkening back to its appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]") . Roller's wheels and the toy's missiles are packed still attached to their [[sprue]] just like in the old days, complete with an extravagant spare set of missiles. The fuel pump, hose and nozzle are included basically unchanged as three separate parts but are in fact new tooling. In addition to these classic parts, the toy also comes with brand new accessories [[show-accuracy|inspired by the character's animation appearances]]: a chrome-gold [[Matrix of Leadership]] (which fits in his chest, like the similar accessory included with the older "[[#NewYearConvoy|Special Specification]]" release), and a transparent [[energon-axe]] which clasps shut over either hand. The ion blaster now features two [[5 mm post]]s to allow him to grip it normally, or even hold it with both hands thanks to his new articulation, and features a revamped sculpt based on the vintage accessory's earlier "thick" barrel variant (which informed the gun's animated depiction). A special chrome-silver mounting piece for the Matrix sits behind the truck windows, but can be removed to reveal the classic seats for smaller ''[[Diaclone]]'' figures.

:The toy has the classic Autobot [[rubsign]], [[rubber tires]] (with the classic real-world "[http://www.ewillys.com/2021/03/16/desert-dog-history-and-ads/ Desert Dog Formula]" brand), [[die-cast]] parts, and features all the same [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] surfaces as the vintage toy. The details of the original [[sticker]]s (on the arms, knees, and toes) have been fully molded into the plastic and picked out with paint—but the toy ''also'' comes with a direct recreation of the original sticker sheet anyway. The toy also comes with a marketing insert, a collector's [[card]] (with, oddly enough, a small hole punched through the top), and a [[Tech Spec]] decoder for reading the graph printed on the back of the [[packaging]] alongside the classic back-of-the-box mural. Everything is neatly presented using a polystyrene tray. For this release, the illustrator of the toy's original Japanese [[package art]], [[Shin Ueda]] (credited in English right on the new box!), was commissioned to produce a brand-new piece based on the iconic transformation-into-midair-leap pose from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Ironically, though the toy is finally capable of reproducing the ''original'' boxart pose, the engineering of its waist rotation means the ''new'' pose is impossible!

:Since the trailers are nearly identical in shape, the sound effect module from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy]] is compatible with the trailer of this release, though the module can't connect to Convoy's robot mode back.

:Although entirely a [[TakaraTomy]] initiative, the ''Missing Link'' toys were made available directly to Western fans via [[Hasbro Pulse]], sold under the name Optimus Prime. The toy kept its longer smokestacks and fully-functional firing missiles, which Hasbro had shortened [[for safety reasons]] in prior releases.

:In addition to the anime edition Convoy below, this toy was also redecoed to make ''Missing Link'' [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Missing Link|Sentinel Prime]] and [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Missing Link|Nemesis Prime]].

:A more affordable release of the ''Missing Link'' Convoy toy was sold without the trailer. This version of the toy goes for [[show-accuracy]], omitting the various paint applications intended to replicate [[sticker]] detailing, painting the toy's eyes blue instead of yellow, swapping the blue plastic for a slightly brighter shade, and picking out an [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] in fine white outlines solely on the left shoulder. Unlike Hasbro's contemporaneous ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' reissues, which similarly aim to use clever deco work to bring the original G1 toys closer to their animation depictions, this release keeps the chrome, instead of using a dull silver plastic.

:The toy still comes with its ion blaster (with a gunmetal paint application on its vent), energon-axe, and Matrix (now painted in animation-accurate metallic orange and silver); the Matrix housing is left as bare black plastic. A smaller sticker sheet is also included for [[customizing]] options—much like the one for the full release, but omitting all the trailer stickers. Three small yellow stickers are provided to replicate the waist/bumper details from the cartoon character model. The paperwork included is similar to the full release.

: ''Reactivate'' Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a post-apocalyptic armoured truck, based on his appearance in the cancelled ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' video game. Optimus was only available with [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Reactivate|Soundwave]]. He comes with the usual Optimus accessories; an ion blaster, an energon axe that can fit over either fist, and a removable Matrix of Leadership (a repaint of the Matrix included with ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Optimus Prime).

: Optimus suffers from a [[design flaw]]- the handle on his ion blaster is far too short, resulting in an extremely loose grip. His torso can sometimes be tough to tab in properly because of tolerance issues, resulting in a conspicuous gap between his chest and abdomen; leaving the folded truck roof parts on his back untabbed will allow the rest of the torso to fit correctly while not affecting the toy's general articulation and functionality.

:A very surprising addition to this page, ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]'' Optimus Prime represents [[Hasbro]] licensing one of its direct rival toy companies, [[Mattel]], to sell a "proper" transforming Transformers action figure.

Even the [[unpaintable plastic]] areas in his calves, inner hips, and biceps now match the surrounding body colors to further line up with the animation model.

Notably, the need to reconcile the gray stripes on either side of Prime's robot mode abdomen and an animation-accurate stripe-less truck mode has resulted in truck mode stripes that abruptly end halfway down the cab. The truck cab has the long smokestacks, though the [[stock photography|toy photographs]] on the box depict short smokestacks.

Accessories include a removable flying drone type thing formed from Optimus's back and tail and an adorable teeny tiny motorcycle for the dianaut.

:Commemorating the 30th anniversary of ''[[fandom:macross:Macross 7|Macross 7]]'', the second full-length TV anime in the ''[[Macross]]'' franchise, "Basara Prime" is a ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]''-style figure inspired by the series' lead mecha, the [[fandom:macross:VF-19 Excalibur Custom|Fire Valkyrie]], as well as its pilot, [[fandom:macross:Basara Nekki|Basara Nekki]].

:Unique among most modern ''Transformers'' figures, Basara Prime possesses ''four'' modes: a robot that blends elements of Optimus and the Valkyrie together, a fighter jet, "GERWALK Mode", a staple ''Macross'' mode that sees the robot mode's arms and legs deploy from the jet; and a crumpled-up "Vehicle Mode" inspired by Optimus' usual truck mode, complete with a ''very'' [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]]-y trailer for him to haul. In robot mode, the trailer unfurls to assume "Live Stage Mode", essentially a mini-rock concert stage, complete with speakers and a microphone.

:In addition to the trailer, Prime also comes with a blaster, a Transformer-sized version of Basara's guitar, complete with a strap that can be slung over Prime's shoulder, and two faceplate-less alternate faces (one stoic, the other belting out tunes).

:Basara Prime went up for pre-order on [[July 3]], 2025, with a release window currently set for Spring 2026.

:Revealed as part of the inaugural T-SPARK LIVE streaming event, "Evangelion Unit-01 × Optimus Prime" is a retool of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' "[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#BBfilmLegendary|Legendary Optimus Prime]]" in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. The toy is roughly Leader Class-sized, and in this iteration has been retooled to have a new chest, pelvis, biceps, head, and—replacing the original's shoulderpads—shoulder pylons, all to evoke [[Evangelion Unit-01]]. The toy's face-swapping gimmick has been retained, now with one face resembling the standard Unit-01 and the other face designed to evoke it in its [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Berserk "berserk"] state, complete with a hinged jaw!

:In addition to the original toy's Ion Blaster accessory, Evangelion Unit-01 × Optimus Prime comes with a Matrix of Leadership with a smooth crystal representing an Evangelion's [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Core Core] (with a similar detail sculpted on the inside of the chest), two blades hybridising [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Dual Energon Swords]] and an Eva's [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Evangelion_Melee_Weapons#Progressive_Knife Progressive Knife], and a two-handed axe weapon with a handle evoking the [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Spear_of_Cassius Spear of Cassius].

==Notes==
===Before he became Optimus Prime===
[[File:PrototypeTHB.jpg|thumb|Not so Optimus Prime.]]
*The first prototype for Battle Convoy, the ''[[Diaclone]]'' originator of Optimus Prime, was vastly different from the final version, complete with an entirely different transformation and a car carrying trailer. The head lacked the faceplate.
*A later prototype/mock-up was much closer to the final product but still has some noticeable differences, such as a head with much larger antennae, longer smokestacks and a front grille section that includes the rectangular section that would sport the "Freightliner" logo on the real-life truck (on the final toy, the rectangular section is part of the hinged upper section that includes the windows). It would have also been possible to attach the [[ion blaster]] to either of his shoulders.<ref name="diaclonecatalogs">[https://web.archive.org/web/20151017201739/http://1501bc.com/pretf/pictures/tfdiac6b.jpg Diaclone catalog scans] at 1501bc.com.</ref>
*The toy that would ultimately end up as the original Optimus Prime toy was originally released in August [[1983]] as No.17 Battle Convoy from Takara's Diaclone Car Robo toyline in Japan. In [[1984]], [[Joustra]] released their own version (still with ''Diaclone'' sticker on the trailer) as part of their Diaclone line in Europe, either simply called ''Truck'' (according to the pack-in catalog) or ''Diaclone'' (in the pack-in comic). It's possible that [[GiG]] also released a version called ''Camion Convoy'' as part of their ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy, but to this day no packaged sample has surfaced.

===The many releases of Optimus Prime===
[[File:SeveralG1Convoy.jpg|thumb|Too much Prime on my hands.]]
Over the years, the [[#The_Transformers|original Optimus Prime]] has been repackaged and reissued multiple times:
*In the US and Canada, limited edition promotional versions were available sporting Pepsi stickers; the Canadian version has large Pepsi stickers that cover the entire trailer, while the US version only has small Pepsi stickers that partially obscure the lines running across the trailer;
*In addition to the standard Japanese 01 Convoy release, Takara also released the toy as part of the [[#VSX|VSX Convoy vs. Megatron]] two-pack in [[1985]];
*Takara released a variant sporting clear blue windows and as part of the "[[#goodbye|Good Bye Convoy]]" set (packaged with [[Red Alert (G1)#Toys|Alert/Red Alert]] and [[Mirage (G1)#Toys|Ligier/Mirage]]) in [[1986]];
*Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) released the toy in Europe in late 1985, following a slight delay due to licensing issues;<ref name="mbtfs">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-5/ "The Jetfire vs Optimus Prime mixup"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref> there are no less than ''three'' variants of MB-packaged Optimus Prime, one of them manufactured by Takara and sporting blue feet, the other two manufactured by [[Joustra]] as part of a deal with Hasbro/MB, one of them with blue and the other one with red feet;<ref name="3mb">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/the-three-mb-optimus-primes/ "The Three MB Optimus Primes"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>
*After Hasbro's European division had changed the packaging from "MB" to "Hasbro", the toy continued to be available in 1986, including more of the Joustra-manufactured red and blue feeted versions, which were apparently also available in the UK in English-only packaging;<ref name="3mb"/>
*[[GiG]] released the toy as ''Commander'' as part of their ''Transformers'' line in Italy in 1985, including an all-plastic variant in 1986;
*[[IGA]] released their version in Mexico in 1985; unsold stock was later imported to a plethora of European countries, including the UK, with Optimus Prime having the yellow paint scraped off his eyes and then having them painted over in red;
*Hasbro reissued the "Original Autobot Leader" toy as part of their European ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line of reissues in [[1991]];
*Hasbro released a [[#Generation_2|redecoed version with additional accessories]] as part of their [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' line]] in [[1993]];
*Takara reissued the original toy in its original 1985 Japanese packaging in [[2000]], with an all-black recolor being available from assorted Japanese conventions and another variant with gold instead of silver parts, stickers, and paint as a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] prize;
*Takara reissued the toy again as ''New Year Special'' version in January 2002, sporting clear blue windows (similar to Good Bye Convoy) and featuring additional accessories such as a Matrix necklace and a [[Show-accuracy|show accurate]] recolor of the Action Master Optimus Prime figure;
*Hasbro reissued the toy in the US and the UK as part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Generation One Commemorative Series]]'' line of reissues in [[2002]], sporting shortened down smokestacks [[for safety reasons]], with longer missiles and modified missile launchers for the Combat Deck;
*Takara reissued the toy once again in [[2003]], as part of their ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues, numbered 00 and featuring additional accessories such as an energon axe;
*Takara released a recolored version featuring a new trailer in December [[2005]], called ''[[Pepsi Convoy]]''.
*Hasbro released their own version of Pepsi Convoy, named "[[#PepsiPrime|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]", as a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive in [[2007]], featuring the familiar [[For safety reasons|safety]]-shortened smokestacks of the Commemorative Series reissue.
*In August 2007 TakaraTomy yet again did a rerelease similar to the 2000 Convoy rerelease, this time as part of the "[[Transformers Encore]]" line. This version has a new rifle with a longer handle so Optimus can finally hold it straight.
*TakaraTomy released [https://web.archive.org/web/20080329084648/http://seibertron.com/advertisement.php?id=8 "Convoy iPod Docking Bay with Speakers"] in September 2007. It is an iPod speaker/dock in the shape of a truck, featuring an all-white version of Convoy with a new head sculpt reminiscent of Masterpiece Convoy as the cab, and a trailer housing a pair of speakers and a docking point for an iPod.
*In March [[2008]], TakaraTomy released a G1-colored version of the iPod Convoy set.
*Hasbro released the ''25th Anniversary'' gift set edition detailed above in 2008, as part of the 2008 ''Universe'' line, once again with [[For safety reasons|shortened smokestacks]].
*TakaraTomy released another reissue based on the ''Encore'' version as part of their ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' line in 2011, lacking the original Generation 1 trailer. Instead, the ''Chronicle'' version was available in a two-pack with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime]] and a new trailer that could be used by both Optimuses, thanks to a retooled trailer hitch on the Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure.
*In 2012, Hasbro reissued Optimus Prime again for their Asian markets, this time mixing the 25th Anniversary version of the toy itself with the older ''Commemorative Series'' packaging.<ref name="25thcomm">[http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=44388 "Bad news RE: new Commemorative Prime"] at Cybertron.ca.</ref>
*In 2019, Optimus was rereleased once again, this time without his trailer and with his original long smokestacks (something he hasn't had in America since Generation 2), in Hasbro's Vintage G1 line of reissues exclusive to Walmart stores in US and Canada.

===Powermaster Optimus Prime design history===
[[File:EarlyPMPrime1.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|Overcompensating.]]
{{multiple image|image1=EarlyPMPrime2.jpg|image2=EarlyPMPrime3.jpg|width1=115|width2=150}}

[[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime, being the grand toy rebirth of Optimus Prime post-movie, apparently received a lot of thought during the design process. Prime went through an inordinate number of design changes from concept to final with at least three very major revisions:

*The earliest version, as shown in the first patent application for the toy, was to have the Prime cab be a triplechanger, turning from truck cab to jet or robot.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19880604&CC=JP&NR=S63132686A&KC=A Patent #JP63-132686]</ref> The nosecone of the jet and robot legs were released by the Powermaster lock in the same fashion as the legs in the final version. Optimus would have had winged arms in non-super [[robot mode]]. The super robot mode's head was also integrated into the trailer's hitch... and lacked a faceplate.

*The second known version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p22, p106</ref> ditched the triplechanging gimmick on the cab and simplified things a good bit. This Powermaster Prime has several distinct characteristics only seen in the second design, such as the wider "block head" and two faux smokestacks on top of either shoulder as opposed to one. Also, in a rather odd twist, this design features a black head and fists for both super and regular modes rather than the traditional blue. It also had yellow eyes in either mode a la the original Optimus Prime.

*The third version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p106</ref> would quite possibly have been the most gimmick loaded Transformer in the history of the line, simultaneously being a Powermaster, [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], and [[Triple Changer]]. The Headmaster also would have been a Triple Changer, turning into a sort of armored four-wheeled rover (Roller II?) and robot as well as a rather silly looking Optimus Prime head with four vertically aligned wheels jutting off the sides. It seems that when the extra Headmaster gimmick was scrapped, the super mode head remained separate rather than being reintegrated into the trailer hitch such as on the earliest design. Notably, the body of this design is extremely close to the final design.
*A fourth version is shown in the 1987-88 Transformers product catalog that has several minor differences from both Powermaster Prime and [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]], such as having God Ginrai's sliding fists but in red, a completely different trailer hitch assembly partially based on the third design, an offset Autobot symbol in base mode, extended feet also based on third design, far more detailed super mode outer leg panels, completely different front bumper, and the first instance of single faux shoulder smokestacks rather than two. It is still unknown as to why Powermaster Prime has completely different arms from God Ginrai or all earlier concept versions.

Powermaster Prime's animation model as used in the commercials and as a character guide for the Marvel comics is a composite of the second and third designs. The body of the model is actually a straight tracing of the concept lineart for the third version (including its different rifles and twin faux shoulder stacks), with a slightly simplified drawing of the second version's head drawn on top.

===Miscellaneous Primes===
[[File:EarlyActionMasterOptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=.5]]
[[File:Early Star Convoy Planning Stage.jpg‎|thumb|left|I am the prototype of the toy of the future!]]
[[File:PMHeroTrace.jpg|thumb|Stealing purses across the ages.]]
*The preproduction version of Action Master Optimus Prime (featured in catalogs and on his [[Power Plans]]) used a darker blue closer to the 1984 toy and had upper legs painted grey. Amusingly, the mold also originally had longer smokestacks that were presumably trimmed down for safety or breakage issues, which would become something of a running theme with Optimus Prime toys.
*The ''Return of Convoy'' pack-in catalogs show Star Convoy as originally having silver paint on his vehicle mode and robot thighs, mirroring the similarly-colored parts of the original Optimus Prime design. However, the Star Convoy released at retail instead used bare white plastic, possibly as a cost-saving measure (as ''Transformers'' was rapidly losing popularity in Japan at the time). When Takara reissued the toy years later, it restored the originally-intended silver of the prototype.
*''Return of Convoy'' catalogs reveal the planning process behind Star Convoy's evolution from gimmick-rich illustration to prototype before reaching final production.
*The pose used for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#HeroOptimusPrime|Hero Optimus Prime]]'s [[package art]] is rather blatantly swiped from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Powermaster]] [[#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]'s package art.
*On a similar note, ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]'s package art is merely edited from ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s card art, keeping it mostly intact save for the removal of shoulder kibble and the addition of a non-windowed chestplate.
*The Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy was featured in a [[:File:Optimus prime nokia 6820.JPG|print ad]] for [[Nokia]] {{w|Nokia 68xx series#Nokia 6820|6820}} phones in December 2004.<ref name="nokia">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/20th-anniversary-optimus-prime-featured-in-nokia-a/4374/ "20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Featured in Nokia Ad"]</ref> He is posed bent over to look at the phone and scratching his head. Pleasantly, ''most'' of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un-[[Customizing|kitbash]]ed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy. (The real toy can't bend forward at the waist like that, alas.)
*''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime]] was initially intended to be Deluxe-sized. An alleged list of the tentative ''Classics'' line-up<ref name="classicslineup">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/possible-transformers-classic-line-up-4336/ Rumor] about the ''Classics'' lineup that turned out to be spot on aside from Voyager [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and Deluxe Optimus Prime.</ref> included a Deluxe-sized Optimus Prime without a trailer and a version ''with'' a trailer at the Voyager [[size class|price point]]; however, it appears the decision was eventually made to upscale Optimus to Voyager size instead.<ref name="sage">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/cybertron-crosswise-redeco-and-transformers-classics-info-4683/ "Cybertron Crosswise Redeco and Transformers Classics Info"] (via [[Joe Kyde]]'s proxy "SAGE2764")</ref> Don Figueroa's [[control drawing]]s for the Deluxe version were leaked before the ''Classics'' line was even released at retail.<ref name="primecontrol">Leaked ''Classics'' Deluxe Optimus Prime control drawings: [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-design-sketch-4691/ Vehicle mode], [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-robot-mode-design-sketches-4692/ robot mode]</ref> A gray model [[prototype]] was later shown as part of an interview with [[TakaraTomy]]'s staff in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1|Transformers Generations 2009 vol. 1]]''.<ref name="ttinterview">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/general-articles-25/translated-version-of-the-takara-tomy-transformers-henkei--classics-staff-interview-167073/ Translated TakaraTomy Henkei/Classics staff interview]</ref> It's unclear whether the trailer ever made it past the early planning stage before the size of the figure was changed.

Since 1984, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 '''Optimus Prime''']] has received the largest number of toys for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character, a testament to the character's enduring popularity and status as a hero to many fans.

Due to the popularity of the character and the evergrowing [[Generation 1 continuity family]], this article had become far too large, causing internet browsers to struggle loading all of its contents, and—in the most extreme cases—crashing entirely. For the sake of a nice clean split, we have opted to move all of Optimus Prime's ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys into a separate article which can be found '''[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys|here]]'''.

: Released in the first year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toyline]], Optimus Prime transforms into a White Freightliner WFT-8664T cabover semi-trailer truck with an additional trailer unit. In robot mode, his fists are separate accessories that must plug into his wrists; the fists do not store securely anywhere in vehicle mode, but can fit easily in Prime's chest/drivers' compartment. He is armed with a black laser rifle that, by design, he cannot hold straight. His articulation is relatively high for the era due to his transformation, and even has functioning knees, though their use is restricted by his lack of forward hip movement. His smokestacks can rotate, but are seemingly a form of [[for safety reasons|anti-breakage move]].

: Prime's [[trailer]] opens up into his [[Combat Deck (G1)#Toys|Combat Deck]], containing the scout drone, [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Roller]]. The interior of the Combat Deck features three raised holes that can accommodate Prime's laser rifle, fuel pump and nozzle accessories. The Combat Deck's central feature is a missile-armed repair drone pod mounted upon a boom lift arm, which can be extended through square holes in the trailer's roof and front end when it is closed. While the drone has spring-loaded missile launchers, the springs have been severely weakened in the Hasbro release. Situated in the base of the boom arm is a spring-loaded launcher that can launch Roller out of the Combat Deck and into action. Roller features a port that can accommodate either Prime's rifle or the fuel pump. The interior space of the trailer allows storage room for one standard [[Autobot Cars|Autobot Car]], which can also be shot forward by the launcher.

: The toy started life as the Takara ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Battle Convoy" toy, a piloted mecha, thus the numerous spots across the toy's components with little seats for Diaclone pilots that Optimus did not come with.

: [[File:G1toy optimus prime variants and running changes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Most people would be happy with just ''one'' Optimus Prime, but noooooo...]]

: Optimus was subject to several molding and color variations in his early days. The earliest release of the figure featured large rounded fists, a hefty rifle with a large rounded barrel, a thick fuel pump with a detailed nozzle, silver rockets, silver Roller, silver Combat Deck launcher, and metal plates in the floor of the Combat Deck (a holdover from the ''Diaclone'' version of the toy, to which the magnetic feet of the pilots could cling). In short order, new-yet-almost-identical [[mold]]s were created, presumably to refresh the tooling as the original had already been heavily used for ''Diaclone'' and so a wider range of factories (going from only Japan to Japan, China, Macau, and more) could produce more units to meet demand quickly, a common practice at the time. Prime's fists were resculpted to be smaller and more angular, the gun's silhouette was heavily revised, the fuel pump and nozzle were simplified, the rockets and launcher recast in black plastic, the Combat Deck's metal plates (and their clips) were removed, and the outer trailer detailing and door hinges were altered. Roller and the Combat Deck's drone pod color was swapped to a light blue, though a third running change soon followed that saw them restored to their original darker blue. The revised mold would be used by subsequent reissues of the Optimus toy, though Roller still fluctuates back and forth between grey and dark blue, depending on how [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] each reissue wants to be.

: The yellow square stickers marked #7 were meant to be applied in the idents on the front bumper, not on the front of Roller. The "Go" sticker marked #4 was meant to be applied on the bottom left corner of the ramp and not on the floor of the trailer near the ramp. Lastly, the rainbow sticker marked #14 was meant to be applied on the bottom of the repair drone, not on the Roller launcher.

: The Japanese 1985 release of the figure also underwent the accessory changes, but never featured a silver Roller. Instead, Takara's original release of Prime featured a ''Diaclone''-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version. It also had fully-functional missile launchers on the drone.

: Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue. For the mainland Europe [[Milton Bradley]] release, there were two [[variant]]s of Optimus Prime available: the first version, manufactured by Takara, sported blue feet like most other versions; the second version, manufactured by [[Joustra]]'s parent company [[Ceji]], sported red feet instead.<ref name="3mb" /> On top of that, the Italian release of "Commander" by [[GiG]] eventually featured a [http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vprime6.html later variant] that replaced the rubber tires and [[die-cast]] feet with plastic parts, similar to the US [[KB Toys]] variant of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Toys|Ultra Magnus]].

: Having been removed from toy store shelves after 1985, Optimus Prime was made available as a mail-away toy in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" offer in the US in 1986 to coincide with the [[The Transformers: The Movie|''Transformers'' movie]] premiering that year. He cost $21.50 and 5 [[Robot Point]]s. He was also offered in "[[The Autobots Have a Special Mission for:]]" mail-away pamphlet, and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle; this edition of the toy is considered ''particularly'' rare.

: Over forty-plus years, there have been a ''bajillion'' releases of this mold, some identical to the original toy, and some featuring significant variants with notably different paint jobs, color schemes, accessories and other pack-ins. We have striven to list all these variants on this page under their respective series; for a quick-reference list of all variants and releases [[#Notes|check here]]. The cab robot has also been used sparingly to represent different characters; outfitted with different trailers, it has become Generation 1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Pepsi Convoy]].

: A limited edition version of the Optimus Prime toy was sold as a mail-away exclusive by [[Pepsi|PepsiCo]] in North America in 1985. This version of the figure came with a small fold-out leaflet glued to the top-right of the packaging, which contained two Pepsi logo stickers for the buyer to attach to Prime, mid-way through the traditional silver-and-blue stripe on his trailer. [[Canada]] also got a version of this promotional figure, but with much larger stickers that were the full length and height of the trailer.

: This promotion would go on to serve as the inspiration for the Japanese character of [[Pepsi Convoy]], who would in turn be released by Hasbro as a new "[[#PepsiPrime2007|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]" in 2007.

: Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original Optimus Prime figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue, though his chestplate, which was rendered white in his package art followed a more the blue color scheme of his shoulders. He transforms into a Freightliner COE, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his [[robot mode]]s to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

: The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Additionally, three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus—released as part of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Toys 2|Scramble City]]'' sub-line—''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was soon replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head. In addition, the clear yellow plastic that formed his windows was removed from the cab, leaving just holes instead; and his thighs and fuel tanks were left white, as opposed to the vacuum metalized chrome ones of the original release.

:The small robot component, as well as being part of Optimus Prime, was also released with a different trailer as [[Pepsi Convoy]].

:*''Accessories:'' Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 [[laser rifle]]s, 2 twin [[particle beam cannon]]s, super robot head
{{toydesigner|[[Richard Marcej]] (packaging)}}

: Sold in the fifth year of the Hasbro US ''Transformers'' line (fourth in European markets), Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first new toy of the Autobot leader since the original toy's release in 1984. He is an all-new design, featuring the [[Powermaster]] gimmick: His partner figure, [[Hi-Q#Toys|Hi-Q]], must be transformed into an engine and attached to Prime's vehicle mode in order to enable the transformation into robot mode.

: Like the original figure, Powermaster Prime is composed of two major components: his truck cab, which transforms into Prime himself, and his trailer, which is essentially a heavily-armed version of the original. The trailer has a fold-down ramp to allow the storage of a smaller Transformer, or perhaps spare accessories. The trailer transforms into a battle station armed with two long black rifles and two grey double-barreled cannons (featuring seating for Powermaster engine figures), all of which Optimus Prime can also wield in his fists.

: Aside from the Powermaster feature itself, the main [[gimmick]] of the toy is the ability of the truck cab to combine with the trailer to form the larger "Super Optimus Prime" figure. This is essentially accomplished by standing the trailer up, folding the cab in half and inserting it into the empty cavity in the trailer's torso, forming an imposing—if almost entirely unposeable—robot form armed with all four weapons. The head of this super robot form is a separate piece which can be stored in the rear of Prime's trailer when not in use. While Hi-Q was always shown plugged into Prime's chest in artwork of this mode (as seen in the picture here), this was actually entirely unnecessary as transforming into Super Optimus Prime didn't require the standard Prime toy's legs to be unlocked.

:The Japanese release of Powermaster Optimus Prime actually represented a new character named [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], and featured several retools: the cab featured die-cast metal, shortened smokestacks, vacuum-metalized plastic and clear blue windows, while the trailer was given retractable super robot fists. This Japanese version was eventually issued by Hasbro in 2003 as part of the [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] collection ([[#Commemorative Series|see below]]).

:This toy was later redecoed into the Japanese-exclusive Super Convoy.

:There were several different prototypes made for this toy. [[#Powermaster Optimus Prime design history|See a list here]].

: Sold in the seventh and final year of the original line (sixth and not-final in Europe), [[Action Master#Toys|Action Master]] Optimus Prime is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure closely based on his [[character model]], albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based largely on the cab robot of his Powermaster body. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus limited ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s. Curiously, Optimus also has a 3mm hole directly above the 5mm one, an extra feature only found on [[Shockwave (G1)|one other]] Action Master. In Optimus' case, it's likely [[:File:AM Helmet Weapons.jpg|a leftover from an aborted gimmick]] for which the figure was a test case.

: The toy shown in the Action Masters commercial shows gray paint operations on Prime's upper legs that the final toy lacks.

: He was only available with the "[[Armored Convoy#Toys|Armored Convoy]]", a large, heavily armed tractor trailer, and the largest Action Master vehicle set offered.

: The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more [[Show-accuracy|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 in white and transparent green as the ''[[Microman]]: [[Microman#Micro Millennium (1998-2000)|LED Powers]]'' toy [[Microman#MicroTrailer|Micro Trailer]] – sans Optimus Prime, natch – which also received two separate [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] toys as the transparent black [[Microman#DarkTrailer|Dark Trailer]] and transparent red [[Microman#FlameTrailer|Flame Trailer]].

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the Japanese ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1991 (Return of Convoy)|Return of Convoy]]'' part of the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|original Takara ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' toyline]], and the final new-design Optimus Prime toy from the original Generation 1 era, Star Convoy was a significant departure from previous versions. This incarnation of Prime transforms into an extended-hood cab truck of made-up model pulling an implausibly large trailer, incorporating the motorized "Microcarrier". [[Motorized movement|Powered by four AA batteries]], the Microcarrier drives Star Convoy either forward or backward, spinning a radar dish mounted on the rear of his trailer as he rolls along. Prime's teammate in the [[Battlestars]], [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]], can link up to the rear of Star Convoy's vehicle mode and be pulled along behind him; [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] can then land atop Grandus, forming a giant vehicle.

: Unlike previous Optimus Prime toys, the cab section does not separate from the trailer for transformation, instead forming the arms of his imposing 12-inch tall robot mode. He lacks any sort of leg articulation in this mode, but the Microcarrier comes into play again, allowing Prime to roll either forward or backward into action.

: Additionally, Star Convoy transforms into a large battle station that interacts with the [[Micromaster]]s that made up the vast majority of the ''Transformer'' toyline at the time. His chest contains a peg that allows Micromaster figures to stand inside it in either robot or base modes, and he comes with a unique Micromaster version of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Hot Rod]] not available on its own. He features storage space in his legs for two spring-loaded figure-launching [[Micro Trailer]]s, and comes with one of his own, decorated in a unique black and orange color scheme. In this mode, two ramps are connected to the Microcarrier; when the carrier's treads are set rolling, they do not move the base, but instead act as conveyor belts that carry Micromaster figures down the ramps. The Microcarrier also spins a gun turret mounted between the conveyors, on which Micromaster figures can stand. Finally, a special connector packaged with Star Convoy allows the Microcarrier to be connected up to Grandus's base mode, powering his moving elevator.

: On an odd note, despite being best known as a Japanese exclusive, Star Convoy was also released across several stores in [[Portugal]] during the early nineties: most notably amongst these being Jumbo (now rebranded into Auchan since the 2010s), one of the country's largest hypermarket chains.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/heIhoys Translated screenshot of a 2021 thread] from Facebook group ''Transformers Portugal'' (link to original thread [https://www.facebook.com/groups/256309611187146?multi_permalinks=1808935782591180 here]) where multiple users discuss having found Star Convoy on Portuguese retail during the 90s.</ref> Weirdly, he came in his original Takara packaging - thus retaining all the Japanese text that was eventually illegible to most Portuguese consumers - which suggests that he was most likely a direct import from the original batch of figures rather than a localized version like [[GiG]]'s [[Galaxy Shuttle]]. It is unknown exactly what circumstances led to this one Japanese figure reaching widespread retail in a single European country, but as a result, he tends to pop up surprisingly often on the Portuguese secondary market.

:Star Convoy was reissued by Takara in 2005, with some notable alterations to his deco: his white plastic was replaced with metallic silver, and the yellow star on his chest was chromed golden. Star Convoy himself retained some of his original decals, but most notably his "simulated head lights" and "wind shield panels" were tampographed on him; similarly, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#StarConvoyReissue|Hot Rod]]'s stickers were all replaced with tampograph deco. Additionally, where the original toy had been packaged in robot mode in a tall box decorated with the standard Japanese package art of the time, the reissue was packaged in vehicle mode, in a long, wide box more reminiscent of the original Generation 1 toys.

:*''Accessories'': "Laser blaster", left & right fists, light & sound module, 2 rocket launchers, 4 rockets, "Roller" scout car, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, trailer, 4 missiles

: Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, this Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the original figure release with some notable new additions to catch him up to the radical 1990s. While his cab robot retained his original red and dark blue color scheme, his trailer was recast in black, with the original blue and silver striped sticker replaced with a red and silver one displaying Optimus's name. On the first release of the trailer, the internal components and Roller matched the blue of the cab robot. Later, the internal components and Roller were changed to a lighter blue. Another ''second'' running change followed, making the dark blue of the cab robot match this lighter shade. A bright yellow "Autobot" [[tampograph]] was also added to the back of his right leg, present in all versions of the toy.

: ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime comes with all his original accessories and play features... yes, even the [[for safety reasons|severely-weakened]] missile launchers on the Combat Deck, the only recycled toy in ''Generation 2'' to retain the old launching mechanisms. But Optimus also has two major new play features. To increase his arsenal, Optimus is now armed with a pair of large, black handheld missile launchers that fire red missiles. These launchers were retooled from the 1992 ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' figure [http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/barricade.shtml Barricade].

: Second, he comes with an electronic "sound and lights module" that can either plug into the front of the trailer (where it resembles a trailer refrigeration unit), or hook onto Optimus's back in [[robot mode]] via a new slot retooled into the cab robot. Unfortunately, the soundbox is heavy enough that doing so can often overpower Prime's hip joints, causing him to topple backward. The soundbox features a large, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] Autobot symbol on its front, and three grey buttons which trigger two flashing red LEDs on either side of the module, and [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/c/c6/G2OptimusNoises.ogg a trio of sound effects]: a truck engine noise, a laser gun sound effect, and a very loud "I am Optimus Prime!". The module also features ports on either side into which the missile launchers can peg. How the sound module handles batteries is an oddity among Transformers before or since: as Optimus came out during a transitional period where button cell batteries were still fairly expensive, the module uses AA batteries by default, but was originally packed with a small bracket for included LR44 batteries that overrides the AA compartment completely to support the "Try Me!" feature in the box. The original intent is to discard the bracket once the LR44s run out and switch to several AA batteries, but if one were to keep it, the electronics can work equally well solely off far fewer button cell batteries.

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Released in the second year of ''Generation 2'', [[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Optimus Prime was the first new-mold Optimus Prime toy created for the ''Generation 2'' line. He transforms into a long-nose Volvo N12 truck and trailer. The trailer has a permanently-attached massive rocket launcher powered by an air bellows: slide one of his rockets over the barrel, then slam down on the bellows to launch the rocket. The launcher also features a [[5 mm post]] to attach a smaller rifle. The rockets and bellows all clip neatly onto the trailer as well.

: In robot mode, the launcher remains permanently affixed to Optimus's right arm, and retains its functionality. The air bellows and rockets mount on his back. This was also one of the first ''Transformers'' toys to feature expanded [[articulation]] in robot mode, though they hadn't really perfected the formula so soon and he ends up fairly back-heavy and heel-strut-needing.

: A similar air-launching system with identical missiles was used by the simultaneously-released [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Hero|Hero Megatron]], and by Laser Optimus Prime the following year (see below).

: This mold was also used to create [[Sureshot (G2)#Toys|Sureshot]] and the [[KB Toys]]-exclusive [[Destructicon (RID)|Destructicon]] [[Scourge (RID)#Destructicon|Scourge]].

: Released in the final year of ''Generation 2'', Laser Optimus Prime (released in Europe under the name "Laser Rod Optimus Prime") transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The sides of the trailer are decorated with a sticker depicting Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a banner with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" on it. The truck is armed with a disc launcher on the roof of its trailer, which launches five blue discs bearing the ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignia as a knob is turned. Like the other "[[Laser Rod|Laser]]" toys released this year, Prime features electronics powered by two button-cell batteries; in truck mode, pressing the button on the cab's roof causes his headlight to light up with yellow LEDs.

: In the grand Optimus tradition, the cab of Laser Optimus Prime disconnects to become the highly poseable robot mode of Prime himself. Like Powermaster Prime and Hero Prime, the toy features the iconic windshield pecs and grill abs, despite not actually being formed from the actual truck components they emulate. In robot mode, pressing the button on Prime's cab (now on his back) activates a red LED in his right fist which illuminates his clear-plastic sword (which stores beneath his legs in truck mode).

: Prime's trailer unfolds via a spring-loaded transformation mechanism in a battle station that is positively ''bristling'' with varied weaponry. In addition to the disc launcher, it is armed with a "ripple-fire" missile launcher that fires five missiles, an air-powered rocket launcher like the one previously seen on Hero Optimus Prime, and a small laser cannon that mounts on the base's main tower. Both the missile launcher and laser cannon can disconnect and be held by Prime; his LED-fist will illuminate the laser cannon like it does his sword. Additional missiles and a second rocket are stored in grooves inside the sides of the trailer.

: This mold was redecoed by Takara in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)#Toys|Black Convoy]], and later by Hasbro as Black Convoy's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] counterpart Scourge. It was also used to make the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]]. It was planned to be used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)#Toys|Toxitron]], but that was canceled.

: In addition to being possibly the most popular ''Generation 2'' figure, Laser Optimus Prime was, prior to 2003, a regular contender for most popular ''Transformers'' toy ''ever'', back in the days of the annual [[alt.toys.transformers]] fan awards; the toy won twice, and actually lost once to his redeco, Scourge.

: Part of the second wave of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s, this Optimus is a redeco of [[Firecracker#Toys|Firecracker]], transforming into a ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]''-sized 1:64-scale Lamborghini Diablo. Like most Go-Bots, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly, and is broadly compatible with ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox'' style tracks and playsets.

: The plastic colors are a "solid" version of Firecracker's color layout, substituting opaque red for transparent red plastic, but also adding blue paint to his helmet for that little extra touch of Optimus. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; [[Blowout (G2)#Toys|Blowout]] and Firecracker became new versions of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]] and Optimus Prime respectively, while [[Gearhead#Toys|Gearhead]] and [[Motormouth (G2)#Toys|Motormouth]] stayed themselves.)

: In Europe, this deco was sold as Firecracker himself rather than Optimus Prime (at least in the French/Dutch/German packaging variant).

:[[File:G2-toy OptimusPrime GoBotTakara.jpg|upright=1|left|thumb|(''Takara release'')]]

: Optimus was one of only three Go-Bots sold in the Takara ''G-2'' line, but it was a... weird release. His hood was tampographed with a stylized "T" with the ''Transformers'' logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Soundwave]], as well as the Japanese release of Go-Bots [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]]. On top of that, his yellow plastics are now the same bright fluorescent yellow as found on Soundwave, thanks to the [[gang-molding]] process used to make this batch. He keeps the blue helmet though. These three toys were sold on cards that were nigh-identical to the Hasbro cards on the front, rather than the usual ''G-2'' style packaging, with only a small bit of Japanese text on the front in the logo. The back side is stylistically close to the ''Generation 2'' packaging, but a "generic" cardback used for all three toys and entirely in Japanese. It's unclear why these toys were released this way; it's possible these were sold in convenience stores or some other similar outlet rather than in conventional toy stores/departments; these toys do not appear on the normal ''G-2'' catalogs either. Even more oddly, the Optimus shown on the cross-sell is actually a [[Sideswipe (G1)#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]] with the car panels hand-painted red, and lacks the "T" on the hood... and yes, he's labeled "Optimus Prime" in Japanese as well, making this the first instance of the character ''not'' being named "Convoy" in Japan.

: The sculpt was later redecoed again for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]], and later still into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spychanger]] [[R.E.V.]].

: This Optimus Prime was to be a redeco of Hero Optimus Prime (above) in dark blue and red. Packaged samples of this toy were produced, but it was ultimately never released. The packaged samples feature a "traditional" color scheme for the head, with a silver [[mouthplate]]; the prototype depicted in the official catalog image seen on the right sports an unusual ''red'' mouthplate, which inspired several later toys.

: Since much of the advertising for the ultimately-unreleased redeco used an older, outdated name for the "Heroes" assortment, "Combat Heroes", Optimus and an equally unreleased redeco of "Hero" Megatron are commonly referred to by fans as "Combat Heroes" compared to the original "Heroes" releases, although all evidence suggests that Hasbro had never actually intended such a distinction, instead treating them as mere color [[variant]]s. Though the packaging is mostly unchanged (including a reuse of the existing packaging art depicting the original release's color scheme), one of the few minor alterations sees the addition of the name "Hero" (rather than "Combat Hero") to Optimus Prime's name above the (otherwise unchanged) UPC barcode.

: A finished sample of the Hero Optimus Prime redeco was among the rare toys auctioned off for charity at [[BotCon 1996]], along with several other unreleased ''Generation 2'' items.

Although there isn't a clear consensus from collectors and no statement from Hasbro on this matter as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, we have nonetheless chosen to cover them here for the sake of archival and posterity.}}
[[File:ToonTown-DiaclonePrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hi, I'm originally a bootleg who might or might also not be a bootleg still! [[Completist|Buy me!]]]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a2|'''Battle Supplier''' (1997)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Rifle, left & right fists, Roller

: An oddball South Korean-exclusive provided by company ToonTown with the ''presumably'' legitimate copyright of Hasbro International, the nameless 'Battle Supplier' - per his packaging description - is actually nothing less than a repackaging of an old, likely Taiwanese-made [[knockoff]] of ''[[Diaclone]]'' Battle Convoy. Copies of these bootlegs have been reported since the mid-80s (a handful of [[Italy|Italian]] companies like Globo distributed them as back as far as 1987 <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/247808869499189/?multi_permalinks=374158430197565 A listing for the Globo-branded Generation 1 Optimus Prime knockoff, with the (Italy-based) seller explicitly referring to it as an import]</ref>), but if his copyright date is correct then it would only be in 1997 when this specific release would land on Korean stores.

: This figure features quite a few alterations from its original Diaclone tooling; like the truck windshield not being split in half, the left smokestack being replaced by a ladder, and the rifle being based on that of ''Dorvack'' Jeeps (AKA the later Generation 1 [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]]). He also lacks the Auto-Launcher in his Combat Deck, as well as his other accessories. His color scheme is also odd, with his red being less vibrant than the original and his legs and feet having two very obviously distinct shades of blue. A similar version to this release with nearly-identical packaging but translated into English also showed up in Canada during 1998, but this time bearing the name "Battle Supbot" without the Transformers logo and without any mention of Hasbro licensing.<ref>[https://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Knockoffs/G2/OptimusPrime1.html "Battle Supbot"] on toyarchive.com</ref> Some traits for his packaging design have also been seen on other bootlegs of Taiwanese origin.

: Considering the amount of times we've mentioned "bootleg" on this entry, it should go without saying that the authenticity of this mold as a genuine ''Transformers'' product is often disputed: more about this conundrum [[ToonTown|can be read on ToonTown's page]], but in short; despite his knockoff origins, this release is one of many toys distributed by the aforementioned company presumably under the licensing of Hasbro, and to this day there still isn't a consensus as to whether they ''actually'' legitimately did or did not have that license. Surprisingly, it isn't unseen in the ''Transformers'' brand [[Best Join|for a bootleg]] to be sold as an [[Radio AM Robot|official toy]], but this "Battle Supplier", more than any other ToonTown release, is on such a blatant level of sketchiness that it invites extra skepticism. Maybe not a red flag, but dark orange. Perhaps someday Hasbro will provide us with answers!

: Another South Korean ToonTown release with presumably official Hasbro co-branding, albeit one that oozes a more legitimate aura compared to the previous entry, this version of Optimus Prime - now adequately named - was actually manufactured under ToonTown's licensing by a different company called LALA Industry Co., which also produced a handful of ''Generation 2'' merchandise during this time. He's a fairly high-quality and accurate copy of his first 1992 ''Generation 2'' toy, bearing an all-new deco in black and white with red accents (that's surprisingly similar to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#CollabGB|a later Optimus Prime release]]), with his trailer and Roller also receiving a new dose of yellow to boot. His soundbox works, but now makes laser gun sounds rather than the infamous "I am Optimus Prime" voiceline - perhaps a change for the better, all things considered. And... He's also massively upscaled, with estimates suggesting that he's about 50% bigger than the original toy.

: As with the previous release, it is still up in the air whether or not this is an official toy. Considering that LALA seemed to be a more reputable company in general (they even had enough of a budget to run toy commercials advertising their ''Transformers'' merchandise during the 90s!) and that he features markings on the packaging seemingly promoting a national TV run of the ''Generation 2'' cartoon, the legitimacy of this Optimus Prime seems significantly more believable, but for lack of official Hasbro comment we cannot know with absolute certainty.

:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] is a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail.

:This figure was released during the short-lived period when Hasbro was treating the Beast Wars as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped "mace whip" he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled "mega-blast missile" launcher. On his back were two more spring-loaded "mega-blast missile cannons"/launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:Just like Optimus Primal's basic bat toy, this figure was released during the short-lived period when the Beast Wars was still considered to be an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''[[TV Magazine]]'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''TV Magazine'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), and blue-fur (a ''[[Comic BomBom]]'' design-contest prize, only five awarded).

[[File:MW-toy OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Most Autobots [[Primus apotheosis|aspire]] to be Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime aspires to be [[Thunder Clash]].]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, 2 missiles

: Available only at [[KB Toys]], ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of the European Generation 1 exclusive [[Turbomaster]] leader [[Thunder Clash#Toys|Thunder Clash]]. It's easy to see why Thunder Clash was chosen to become the new Optimus Prime, given his adherence to Prime tradition: the truck cab disconnects to become the robot, while the trailer unfolds to become an assault tower with twin missile racks. On the original Thunder Clash version of the mold, the racks operated on a gravity-feed system where a new missile drops into the launcher from above each time one was fired, allowing for twelve to be fired in rapid succession using a pinball launcher style mechanism.
:For ''Machine Wars'' Prime, this feature had to be retooled [[for safety reasons]], sealing the gravity feed slot and cutting the original launcher plungers down to just the handles, which do not move. The small missiles were replaced with much larger new molds to prevent choking hazards and triggers were added to the sides of the launchers, becoming regular spring loaded (and unusually powerful) single-firing weapons. There seems to have been some disconnect between the deco artist and whoever handled the redone Thunder Clash [[sticker]]s, as some stickers replicate details already handled by paint on the figure. Not noted in the instructions is that the handgun is meant to serve as the drive shaft for the cab, storing between the legs on the backside. On a minor note, the redeco eliminates all [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|gold plastic]] from the toy, making it much more durable than Thunder Clash's original release.

: The [[package art]] for this toy is a retouched version of the art for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime (see above), but now positioned so one robot arm is always "off the edge" of the box and unseen - conveniently hiding the sword this toy has never had, yet leaving the Laser Prime faceplate intact.

: This version of the mold was planned to be [[redeco]]ed into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but the release was canceled.

:The first reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a Toys"R"Us exclusive. It was ''mostly'' identical to the original figure, save for some necessary modifications made [[for safety reasons]]. In the first instance of what would become a recognizable alteration to the mold, the toy's smokestacks were shortened. The Combat Deck's firing missiles were elongated to prevent potential choking, as was the case with all other Commemorative Series figures' firing missiles, and now plug into the Combat Deck via a "keyed" locking tab mechanism that reissues of the original figure continue to use to this day. This release also had the trailer's launching feature removed.

:In 2012, a reissue of the Commemorative Series toy was released. Though the "Commemorative Series" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name. The toy itself is a mix of different versions. The cab has the safety modifications of the original ''Commemorative Series'' release, including the shortened smokestacks and longer missiles (and thicker rifle), but also has the modified hitch of the 2011 ''Chronicle'' two-pack (see below). Meanwhile, the trailer features the lighter gray plastic colors used for the 2008 ''Universe'' release, and the Autobot insignias on the robot's shoulders are tampographed (like on Takara's ''Encore'' version and Hasbro's ''Universe'' 25th Anniversary release). This version also seems to suffer from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]].

:Marketed as a reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, this Toys"R"Us-exclusive Commemorative Series figure is in truth based on the Ginrai tooling on the toy that had previously been exclusive to Japan. It features a die-cast metal cab with translucent blue windows, and shortened, chrome smokestacks, and comes packaged with the drone [[Apex Bomber]] (formerly Ginrai's partner [[Godbomber]]), who splits into several components and combines with Prime to form "Apex Armor". As with all other Commemorative Series figures, Prime's new spring-loaded missile launcher featured an elongated missile.

:The figure was re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets in 2012, with no known changes to the figure itself but several modifications to the packaging that makes it easy to tell the two releases apart: The flap containing the [[package art]] is omitted entirely, the "Commemorative Series II" label is missing, the age recommendation and safety warning labels, the "Changes from double tractor trailer to battle station to super robot!" call-out and the name of the toy have all been shuffled around (with the words "battle" and "super" being omitted in the process), and most notably, the toy is no longer named "Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor", but simply "Optimus Prime", with Apex Bomber's existence no longer acknowledged anywhere on the packaging.

Chiefly, the figure was armed with a new [[energon-axe]], based on the weapon used by Prime in the Generation 1 cartoon episode, "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]", which plugs into either of the headlight-holes that normally accommodate Prime's fists. Additionally, Prime came packaged with a ring binder folder designed to hold the pull-out character file sheets that were included with all the other ''Transformers Collection'' reissues. Notably, this figure reinstated the original, thick version of Prime's rifle as the standard for all future Japanese reissues.

:''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime was produced for the stated milestone of the ''Transformers'' brand. So successful was the figure that ''ToyFare'' magazine ultimately ranked it #1 in their quest for "Best Toy Ever".<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/000054376.cfm ToyFare Magazine Best Toys Ever]</ref>

:Created with the specific purpose of producing an Optimus Prime as accurate to the original animated series as possible, the toy is exceptionally poseable compared to toys prior, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving [[mouthplate]] to emulate Prime's traditional method of speech, flip-up communications panels on the forearms depicting images of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], and an opening, light-up Matrix chamber in the chest, which contains a removable vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership that can also be pulled open. The Matrix is housed within a removable gray battery box which can light up the matrix core when activated.

:Optimus Prime comes with many accessories in addition to the aforementioned Matrix, including the character's traditional laser rifle, now termed (and henceforth known as) an [[ion blaster]]. The initial release of the figure cast the ion blaster in grey plastic, but later assortments recast it in its more familiar black coloration. Other accessories include a transparent orange energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when Prime's fist is retracted, and even a non-transforming gun mode Megatron weapon, with removable stock, silencer, and scope accessories, in homage to [[Countdown to Extinction (episode)|several]] [[The Insecticon Syndrome|instances]] in the Generation 1 cartoon when Prime was forced to wield his enemy. Pack-in bonuses that came with the figure included an inner cardboard tray illustrated to resemble the interior of Prime's Combat Deck, and in later releases, a small poster drawn by [[Pat Lee]].

:Optimus has a hidden sculpted mouth underneath his face mask, though attempts at removing the mask from the head may entirely damage the action feature.

:Takara's version of the figure was released in their markets slightly earlier, as the first of their long-running ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. In addition to coming with a cardboard trailer that the buyer could assemble to "complete" Prime's truck mode, Takara's release differed from Hasbro's by featuring longer smokestacks (kept short on the Hasbro version [[for safety reasons]]), and lacking the black scorch-marked "battle damage" paint applications Hasbro included on the figure's shoulders, wrists, and abdomen. In Western markets, the figure was intended to complement the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt Steve-o's OTFCC 2004 notes]</ref>

:This sculpt was redecoed by Takara into a golden Lucky Draw figure and later released in its original coloration with a trailer as a "Perfect Edition" (see below for both), while Hasbro would later redeco it into their ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-branded "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics 20th DVD Anniversary Collection|20th Anniversary DVD Edition]]". The mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and "[[Eldedroid|Convoy Black Version]]", representing one of many drones built in Prime's image, rather than Prime himself.

:In ''[[Transformers History Collection]]'', a [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] Transformers trading figure line, Takara released an add-on hand for ''Masterpiece'' Convoy as a [[Chase figure]]. The hand holds a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] figure and clips on to the end of Optimus Prime's arm, making the arm slightly longer than normal.

:Offered as part of a Lucky Draw campaign in August 2004, this extremely rare version of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is almost entirely vacuum-metalized gold, lacking any other painted detail or stickers. The parts which are not viable are molded in a flat golden plastic; the only exceptions are its rubber tires, the core of the Matrix and the energon-axe, which remain black, blue and orange, respectively. Whether or not the figure was intended to evoke Optimus Prime's [[:File:Goldenlagoon prime perceptor.jpg|entirely-golden appearance]] in the cartoon episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", when he was coated with [[electrum]], is unknown; given that entirely chroming a figure gold is a fairly standard deco for Lucky Draw figures, it may just be happy coincidence more than anything else.

:The figure comes packaged in the standard ''Masterpiece'' Convoy box, with the only telltale sign of its fabled contents being the replacement of the traditionally silver foil lettering on the box with gold. It's not clear how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than 10 or 20.

:For this re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy, Takara submitted to the biggest desire fans had for the figure and produced a full-size, fully transforming plastic and die-cast metal trailer. The trailer opens up into Convoy's Combat Deck, with storage for its accessories and a functional repair drone, though Roller is conspicuous by its absence. Like the original Combat Deck, the drone can extend through holes in the roof and front of the closed trailer, and the interior has enough room to accommodate one ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' figure in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Some reports suggest that the paint on this figure's chest chips more easily than past editions. The red paint on the cab is also a slightly lighter color than on MP01.

:This version of Convoy, and Hasbro's 20th Anniversary DVD version of the toy depicts [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on its communicators rather than Bumblebee and Starscream.

:Continuating the trend begun by their previous release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus in 2005, Hasbro [[Australia]] released Convoy Perfect Edition as a Target Australia [[exclusive]] in 2008. Takara themselves then made the figure available for a second time in October 2009.

Limited to 2010 pieces in Japan (see what they did there?), it comes with all its customary accessories, including the Perfect Edition trailer, redecoed where appropriate: the trailer itself has become translucent, its energon-axe is now transparent grey, and Megatron, in another movie homage, is rendered in translucent purple, evoking the scene depicting his transformation into [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]. The figure was also released in other parts of Asia as a limited edition of 2010 as well, combined with the Japanese edition for 4020 total.

:"Convoy Last Production" was the final re-use of the ''Masterpiece'' toy mold before it was at last retired after numerous re-releases and redecos. The figure is essentially identical to the original Japanese MP-1 release, aside from a slightly brighter red, and the addition of the words "LAST SHOT" in Transformers typeface molded into the small of Convoy's back, hidden beneath its headlight-flaps in [[robot mode]]. Lacking the trailer of MP-4, the figure instead comes with a redecoed version of the electronic base included with Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]" of the figure from five years prior, which now features a collection of sixteen soundbytes of Convoy delivering famous lines from the Japanese version of the Generation 1 cartoon, recited by the character's original Japanese voice actor [[Tesshō Genda]]. The base was promoted as containing a hint as to the identity of the next ''Masterpiece'' toy; as it would turn out, this was a new version of Convoy himself (see below), foreshadowed by a sound clip on the base which played only intermittently, and which had Convoy announce that he would "soon be reborn".

:For its release in Korea, Hasbro Asia provided a [[collector coin]] featuring truck-mode Optimus Prime on one side and "MP-01L" on the other. The coin came mounted on a card featuring lineart of the Autobot leader's head, the stark black design of which could be mistaken for promoting the earlier "Sleep Mode" release. The limited release (and general lack of enthusiasm for the collector coins in Korea) makes this one of the more difficult Masterpiece coins to find.

While the front of the vehicle mode's cab is an accurate depiction of a mid-to-late-1980s Freightliner FLT cabover, the back half, (which is, as usual, made out of Convoy's legs) is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion. (So much that they sculpt a ladder on each side.)

:Many of the small features and electronics of the original ''Masterpiece'' mold are left out. Instead, this Convoy features better overall cartoon accuracy (chest interior, head, etc.), an extensive red paint job that covers much of his red plastic, corrected robot mode proportions, improved articulation, and its gun can now collapse and store inside a compartment on its back in either mode. In addition to Convoy's trailer, which can transform into Combat Deck, it also comes with Roller, a small Spike Witwicky figurine, a die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership (with a clear blue plastic center), and an energy axe that slips over Convoy's right hand. Spike can fit inside the cab in vehicle mode, ride in Roller's seat, or fit into any of the seating compartments inside Convoy's trailer. Roller has options to plug in Convoy's gun or pull Convoy's trailer, and the trailer itself can store Convoy's weapons in any mode. Although not easily breakable, care must be taken for posing the index fingers; extending the finger even far would cause it to pop off.

:MP-10 immediately became the gold standard in terms of scale for the Masterpiece line, with all subsequent releases being sized to best match him for nearly a decade.

:The trailer from this mold can be towed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|MPM-04 Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 8|Legendary Optimus Prime]] though this feature is undocumented on these toys.

:This figure was re-released in 2016, with the packaging now advertising the "Long Life Design" award which the ''Masterpiece'' line won that same year.<ref name="lldaward">[https://www.g-mark.org/award/describe/44648 Good Design Long Life Award: Transformers Masterpiece]</ref> This mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-10B Black Convoy]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

:An entirely new mold released to commemorate the brand's 35th anniversary, ''Masterpiece'' "Convoy Ver.3.0" is a much more complex and cartoon-accurate figure than previous releases. At 50,000 yen (approximately $450 USD), this Convoy had the highest MSRP of any mass-market ''Transformers'' toy until ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron|Unicron]]'s $575 price tag was announced.

:Alongside the Trailer (which retains the same function and can hold 4 standard-sized Autobot cars at a time when open), Roller, the Ion Blaster, Matrix of Leadership, and Energon Axe, the Combat Deck's base can be removed and with the new flip-out wheels, Roller (now cast in stark grey with silver rims) can tow it around. The cannon and arm section can also be removed so it can function as a flight stand, while an adapter for [[Dinobot (BW)#Masterpiece|MP-41 Dinobot]]'s display stand is also included, and the Ion Blaster now has 2 effect parts, which can simulate blaster fire and when used with the Sideswipe rocket pack included, can be used as booster flames. He also comes with a fuel hose like that on the original figure, as well as a soundbox feature that can be switched between recorded lines by the character's original Japanese ([[Tesshō Genda]]) and English ([[Peter Cullen]]) voice actors, with transformation effects (though the ascending and descending transformation sounds are spliced together in his English voice) and Douglas Walsh music to boot! As to note, Cullen's clips are closer to the recent [[Aligned]] portrayals.

:Like [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP36|MP-36 Megatron]], Convoy includes a battle-damaged head and an abdomen cover to replicate the war wounds in the climatic battle in the movie, and alongside a newly designed figure of Spike, he comes with two of Sparkplug and Carly, any of them capable of riding inside via 2 small doors on the side of the cab. A second alternate head is based on his head's rounder design seen in the first season of the cartoon and the Marvel Comics. His accessories can be stored in the trailer's removable undercarriage.

:This figure, with the included intakes and alternate head in place, also doubles as [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP44|Starscream]] from "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]".

:Unfortunately, Convoy has been known to suffer from differing quality control issues. Because of a design flaw, certain plastic parts in his lower ratcheted knee joints tend to build stress during movement and eventually break. Furthermore, grey and yellow paint in parts that tend to get scratched and bumped during transformation have been prone to paint chipping. Some units have come with their [[For safety reasons|soft plastic]] ear antennas on different heads warped in-package. The human minifigures can have their ball-jointed limbs rather easily popping out of their sockets and misassembled (in this case, Carly with her groin part in reverse from the front).

:Unlike MP-01 and MP-10, this version of Convoy did not get a fully localized Hasbro release for English-speaking markets. However, it is being imported by Hasbro through numerous retail outlets with additional branding using the localized Optimus Prime name and presumably with the same Hasbro-branded slipcover and English safety sheet given to other contemporary ''Masterpiece'' releases. In Canada, the figure is being released as an EB Games exclusive, where he'll cost even more than the game consoles sold there! Hasbro's online product description neglects to mention the voice box gimmick, possibly due to English-speaking audiences' unfamiliarity with Japanese ''Transformers'' media and the fairly late reveal of his English-language voice clips.

:This mold was redecoed as [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Black Convoy]], with the sound gimmick removed, and without the trailer, battle damaged, and Starscream parts.

:The trailer from this mold can be towed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#MasterpieceMPM12|MPM-12 Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (One)#BraveCommander|Brave Commander Optimus Prime]], though this feature is undocumented on these toys.

:As reported by TakaraTomy's employees at [[Cybertron Con]] 2024, this Optimus has [[Shelfwarmer|sold poorly during its debut]], which stems from his complex transformation and possibly design flaws.

:Released in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''Masterpiece'' MP-44S Optimus Prime is a redeco of "[[#MP44|Convoy Ver.3.0]]", featuring colors based on the [[#The Transformers|original ''The Transformers'' toy]]. Among the heaps of accessories included with the original release of Convoy, Optimus retains only his Ion Blaster (with its beam effect), Energon Axe, and the more rounded head styled after season 1 of the cartoon (here passing the squint test for the toy head). These accessories are the same as MP-49, but now includes the Transformers power base stand adapter. New for this release is a sheet of stickers to reproduce the, erm, sheet of stickers, included with ''The Transformers'' Optimus Prime. As with the previous trailer-less [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#MP49|MP-49 Black Convoy]], the soundbox has been neutered for this release.

:This redeco has noticeably different tolerance changes, with the joints being much tighter than both MP-44 and MP-49. Also unlike MP-49, the entire figure is painted albeit in a lighter, more resistive coat compared to MP-44. The "round head" was given blue eyes (a change from the promotional photos). With the adjusted tolerances in mind, the clips that hook the leg-stored cab panels into the gas tanks have been removed.

:Instead of the standard "Convoy" of Japanese releases based on older media, this toy uses the "Optimus Prime" name. It is explained as a name made popular by Hollywood movies—referring to the [[live-action film series]], which does not change character names in Japanese localization.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' toys, "G1 Convoy" (as he is amusingly referred to even in fiction) visibly takes some design cues from ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime, featuring a similar sculpt, but sharing few to none of the larger toy's other attributes.

: G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round 3 mm-compatible holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with ''Robotmasters'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Beast Convoy]]). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

: Due to being molded in translucent plastic, the waist section is prone to breakage, so exercise some caution.

{{toydesigner|[[Shōji Kawamori]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: ''[[Hybrid Style]]'' Optimus Prime is an ''insanely'' detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a ''Transformers'' figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode.

:Prime is loaded with a ridiculous number of features and accessories. The robot itself is highly poseable, and both the smokestacks on Prime's shoulders and the fuel tanks on his legs can be rotated forward to act as guns, even featuring sculpted detail to this effect. As ever, he comes with a trailer that opens up into his crazy-detailed Combat Deck, featuring more action features than ever before. In trailer mode alone, it features a flip-down support stand so it can stand alone, a spring-loaded pop-out ramp instead of a fold-down one, and when the trailer is split for transformation, the traditional support legs underneath automatically swing out into place. The trailer houses most of Prime's accessories, including his ion blaster (with a moveable ammo clip to allow for multiple poses) and energon-axe, as well as his classic gas pump accessory, now with a poseable wire instead of a rubber hose. Two fold-out compartments provide storage space for six of Prime's interchangeable fists, while the other two remain attached the robot: two clenched, two open, a pointing right fist, a tilted left fist (for holding the ion blaster's ammo clip), and two fists with slots to grip the miniscule Matrix of Leadership that fits in a tiny chamber in Prime's chest. The Combat Deck's artillery robot features two flip-out handles that Prime can grip as if aiming the drone's guns, and Roller is also included, with three different 3 mm ports to hold Prime's gun and gas pump. Lastly, Prime comes with a rocket pack like those used by the Autobots in such Generation 1 cartoon episodes as "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1|Dinobot Island]]", and a stand shaped like the Autobot insignia that allows him to be displayed in mid-air, as if in flight. The rocket pack also has 3 mm ports for Prime's weapons, and stores on the front of the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Purchase of a ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime at a Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] store allowed the buyer the option of also purchasing the exclusive ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|Hot Rod]] toy.

:The toy also received a Hasbro release 11 years later under the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#YOTR2017|''Platinum Edition'']] line.

One head is pristine, the other decorated to match the battle damage seen on the cover of the [[War Without End!|first ''Generation 2'' issue]].

:As the more franchise-savvy TransFans may realise, these extra parts, plus the black trailer of Convoy Black Version, can all be used to modify the original, red ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime into a comic-accurate ''Generation 2'' version, complete with a black trailer, trailer-mounted guns and your choice of Yaniger-style heads.

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his [[robot mode]] body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

:This figure was originally conceived by Hasbro to be another character (exactly who is unknown), rather than Optimus Prime, but Takara insisted that the toy be made into Optimus to help it sell well in their markets, as the vehicle mode was no particular draw, given its scarcity in Japan. Reportedly, the figure cost twice as much as other Alternators to construct, so Hasbro had to bow to this demand so Takara would help fund it. Ironically, Takara eventually wound up soliciting the figure ''not'' as Prime, but as his ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)#Transformers: Super-God Masterforce|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] (perhaps connected to the Powermasteresque headsculpt), before its Japanese release was cancelled and moved over into the ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' toyline (see below).

: It took two further years, but this figure was eventually released as part of the Japanese counterpart to the ''Alternators'' line (''Binaltech'') in 2008. ''Binaltech'' Convoy features some additional paint details, like his silver pelvis, additional patterns on his shoulders, and red paint on his engine-gun, and like all ''Binaltech'' figures, he also includes die-cast metal pieces. Unlike previous Binaltech releases, a bio-card was not included.

:This sculpt was also used to create ''Alternators'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''Alternators'' Optimus Prime. While the figures may appear similar at first glance, given that ''Kiss Players'' Prime is still red, blue and black, there are many subtle differences, not least of all the replacement of the ''Alternators'' figure's bare, flat red plastic with a deep metallic red paint. Several of his body parts are cast in different colors of plastic (for example, his shins, formerly black, are now blue, while his formerly-blue hands are now black), and he features more intricate paint applications on his shoulders, and especially his pelvis, which is decorated to look like Prime's traditional bumper.

:In addition to the small engine-pistol of his ''Alternators'' figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the ''Kiss Players'' figures, Prime also comes with a [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|''Kiss Players'' radio drama]], as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, "[[Someday, Beneath the Sun]]."

:This set was originally intended to be released under the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line, as "Black Convoy meets Marissa", but this release was cancelled before it was officially even announced.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster]], display stand
{{toydesigner|[[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

:Released in the first wave of ''Titanium Series'' 6-inch Cybertron Heroes figures, this figure is based on Optimus Prime's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] form as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic book "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]". Prime transforms into a comic-accurate Cybertronian truck in a few steps, and his ion blaster can be slotted in the back of the truck mode cab for storage.

:The figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: the word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his silver ion blaster. The paint on the handle of his ion blaster scuffs rather easily when placed into his hands.

:As a ''Titanium'' figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. For that reason, the tiny insufficient clips that hold his shoulders in place are highly prone to breaking off, leaving his shoulders floppy and unable to be secured in robot mode. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

:As the mass retail release of the last waves of the ''Titanium'' "Cybertron Heroes" figures was delayed for several months, the two-pack version of Megatron was at least initially more widely available than the individually packaged one.

:Despite being mentioned in the joint [[instructions]] leaflet for the set, neither figure includes their display base.

:In [[robot mode]], his wind vane transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon. The toy has a trailer hitch but does not come with a trailer.

*'''The Ultimate Battle''' (Multi-pack, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist)}}

: ''Classics'' "Ultimate Battle" Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class figure and transforms into a flat-nosed truck cab. The figure is armed with a tommy gun-shaped laser rifle that transforms into a turret-like configuration and mounts on the rear of his truck mode, and features a spinning "power punch" action that sees the whole upper half of his torso spin when a button on his back is pressed. Pressing the button "unlocks" the spinning mechanism; pull ''hard'' on the button, and you can lock the torso back into place.

:In the United States, Prime was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Megatron toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (the DVD was instead made available separately). In addition, Mexico, Singapore and some European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also received the two figures on individual cardbacks. For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and re-released in [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'']]-branded packaging later in 2007, available from Dollar General, Big Lots and [[KB Toys]], and ''again'' in [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']]-branded packaging in 2011, this time available from Dollar General and Big Bad Toy Store.

:This figure was later ''also'' made available without redeco as part of the "Leader for the Ages" two-pack released under the [[#Transformers (2007)|live-action movie line]] (see below) and saw several redecos for [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'']] ("Special Edition", below), ''[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' ("Sons of Cybertron", below) and [[#United|United]] (below).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (20th Anniversary DVD Edition, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leader, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, display stand

: Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and its release on DVD by [[Sony]], this edition of Prime is a redeco of his ''[[#Masterpiece|20th Anniversary]]'' figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

:Prime comes with all the accessories of his previous release, although his ever-changing ion blaster is now somewhat confusingly cast in blue plastic. He features one major additional accessory: an electronic display base sculpted with the image of the Matrix and the Autobot insignia. Pressing the insignia's crest triggers a series of electronic soundbytes, mostly quotes from the movie recited not by original actor [[Peter Cullen]], but by Hasbro's in-house actor, [[Ron Hayden]]: "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City," "Megatron must be stopped!", "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck," and two samples of the classic [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]], one ascending, one descending.

:The display stand itself was later redecorated as a mail-in prize for Takara Tomy's "[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]" promotion, was intended to be used with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Convoy]] from "[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]", and was also redecorated in the "final production" run of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toys and as an Optimus Prime voiced stand for the Second Prize in the [[Arms Up Campaign ]].

*'''Pepsi Optimus Prime''' (Autobot, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, ion blaster, trailer

:Inspired by the [[#The Transformers|1985 promotional version]] of Optimus Prime that featured Pepsi stickers on his trailer, this outlandish incarnation of Prime is a slightly altered version of Takara's 2005 [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure (which represented a different character to Prime). The figure was only sold by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] at various conventions, and given away as a promotional prize by Pepsi, via their [[Mountain Dew]] brand.

:A redeco of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime cab robot sporting an egregious number of Pepsi-themed paint masks and details, Pepsi Prime's differences from Pepsi Convoy are minimal: he features the shortened smokestacks previously seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release of the mold, the blue pattern on his decals are different (matching the American Pepsi can/bottle look at the time rather than the one used in Japan), and also has a different layout for the Pepsi logo on his left shoulder. Like Pepsi Convoy, he comes with an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry either a single 500ml (16.9 oz) size [[soft drink]] bottle, three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). In a first for the Prime mold, the figure's fists store in holes on the underside of the trailer while he is in vehicle mode. His ion blaster (which also stores under the trailer) is the first Hasbro reissue to feature the original, thick-barrel sculpt, which was reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' release of Prime a few years prior.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products, ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Convoy transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In [[robot mode]], he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This figure was, in fact, the ''only'' mold in the ''Sports Label'' line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create ''Sports Label'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]]''

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, but it did include the original, thick-barrelled version of Prime's rifle, as reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' version of the toy a few years prior. Both his blue and red plastics are lighter than normal, though not to the extent of Hasbro's subsequent 25th Anniversary release.

:Notably, this edition addresses the small but persistent issue of the Autobot insignias on Prime's shoulders: Ever since 1984, applying the stickers evenly had been a challenge due to small bumps the figure's shoulders are textured with. Like the [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure released two years prior, ''Encore'' Convoy replaces the stickers with [[tampograph]]s.

*'''Convoy —playing iPod speaker—''' (2007)
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/iPod dock, 2 fists (left and right), ion blaster

: Hot on the heels of their licensing deals with Pepsi and Nike, TakaraTomy got themselves a slice of Apple™ pie and released Convoy —playing [[iPod]] speaker— as part of their small, musically-themed ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' line. This version of Prime is an all-white redeco of the original Generation 1 cab robot, which (much like the "Marine Version" of Prime from the ''[[#Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' line) makes it seem like he ought to be Ultra Magnus. The figure is actually even derived from the retool of the mold created for the original Ultra Magnus figure, as distinguished by the elongated hubcap pegs on the front wheels. Like Pepsi Prime before it, the figure's fists now store in peg holes on the under side of its trailer. The toy lacks any of the original Prime's stickers (even the silver stripe on his chest is now a [[paint operation]]) and includes the original thick-barrelled version of Prime's blaster. The toy features a brand new headsculpt based on the [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] Prime figure, given additional poseability not previously seen on the figure by being mounted on a [[ball joint]].

:This, of course, is all secondary to the main draw of the figure: it pulls an all-white trailer, which transforms into a working iPod speaker dock by rotating a substantial wedge of its full length 90 degrees . The dock features three working buttons; power, volume up and volume down, as well as an Autobot sigil indicator light. Included is a wall-plugging (Japanese) A/C adaptor with a long lead that plugs into the reverse of the trailer. Although American importers shouldn't have too much trouble, those living in parts of the world using higher strength A/C current outlets should be warned NOT to simply plug the A/C adaptor in with only a socket adapter, as this will overload the device and fry it completely. Buying the appropriate kind of universal A/C adaptor with advice from an electronics specialty shop is recommended.

:Designated "Optimus Prime" rather than the traditional Japanese "Convoy", this figure is a redeco of the previous ''Music Label'' Convoy figure into the character's traditional red, blue and silver color scheme. Unlike previous re-issues of the mold, iPod Optimus Prime's sports a paint application similar to KissPlayers Convoy, having its ABS/PVC parts painted over with a thin layer of his iconic red, white (silver if you will) and blue motif paint applications (with the exception of his iPod docking trailer). This includes his trailer, though the effect is somewhat marred by the large, visible gap on one side. When reconfigured into dock mode, the interior surfaces surrounding the speakers are decorated with black-on-silver techno-patterns as well as three "Optimus Prime" logos. The recessed space also features a stylised, almost [[Frank Miller]]esque, high-contrast portrait of Prime's face, although this is largely covered when an iPod is inserted. The figure comes in identical packaging to the original ''Music Label'' Convoy, save for the addition of a sticker illustrating the different color of its contents.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Rounding out a bumper year of Japanese-[[exclusive]] Generation 1 Optimus Primes, the Takara-licensed Kawada brand ''Diablock'' Convoy is a fully transformable [[LEGO]]-style block building figure similar in premise to the earlier American ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets. The ''Diablock'' figure, however, easily outstrips the ''Built to Rule!'' sets by both being an accurate representation of the toy on which it is based, and being able to transform between modes ''without'' having to be partially disassembled and put back together first.

:Forming a roughly 11-inch figure when fully assembled, ''Diablock'' Convoy is highly articulated, save for his head, which is only able to move up and down. Said head is also by far the most stylised aspect of the figure, with no real attempt to approximate Prime's face or mouthplate, instead featuring only a reversed block that gives the odd impression of a cycloptic eye. It is possibly intended to actually represent his forehead grill, as a yellow block inside his head construction remains barely-visible through a slit in his face, possibly intended to represent the classic toy's yellow eyes.

:The figure's [[transformation scheme]] is based on the original G1 figure, the only differences being that the fists are not removed but become the headlights, and instead of flipping backwards inside the chest, ''Diablock'' Convoy's noggin flips forwards with the aid of opening chest windows. A "laser rifle" in the shape of his ion cannon can be built from black bricks, and stickers bearing the Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] can be placed on his shoulders, although this is not recommended as it is designed to permanently stick to multiple tiles which dislodge easily and may damage the sticker.

:Sold at the rather exorbitant price of $75, this re-release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is actually one of the most visually different from the other "straight" reissues of the mold, despite Hasbro's assurance that this is the toy you had as a kid. Positively ''anemic'' in comparison with the original toy, this Prime's red parts are visibly paler than usual, while his blue parts are much lighter (although the version released at Canadian retail reportedly sports a deeper shade of red again). This shade of blue extends to both Roller (a lighter blue than his traditional dark shade, yet darker than the lightest the figure has been in its history) and the internal workings of his Combat Deck, which is itself a much flatter shade of light grey, compared to its normal dark, swirled metallic silver color. In addition, the toy features the now-customary shortened smokestacks, and the elongated missiles seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release, while the Autobot insignias on his shoulders are no longer stickers, but rather tampographs, like on Takara's ''Encore'' release. While all reissues of the Prime mold since 2003 have used the original thick-barreled mold for his ion blaster, this version includes the slender sculpt instead.

:As a 25th anniversary set, Prime includes several new pack-in bonuses: a reprint of the [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the original [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comic book]], a DVD containing all three parts of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] pilot [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|"More than Meets the Eye"]], and three desktop wallpapers, and a battery-powered Autobot symbol that plays transforming sound effects, part of the first version of the ''Transformers'' [[theme song]], and three voice clips performed by Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobot, transform and roll out!" and "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." There are some reports that the Autobot symbol could be worn out or damaged during the time of purchase.

:Outside the United States, this set was available in a thinner rectangular box. It contained all the original accessories from the American release, but not the DVD. An English-only version of this packaging format was available in Asia and Australia (initially only available at Myer stores, but later also at Toys"R"Us, Kmart and Target, eventually at drastically reduced prices), while a bilingual English/French packaging variant was available in Canada, still including—though not advertised on the packaging—the (English only) comic book.

**''ID number:'' '''A-01'''
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}

:''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Convoy transforms into a 1:32 scale 2007 Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm. In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, this figure specifically represents the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Story of Binaltech|Optimus Prime]] of [[universal stream]] [[BT World|Primax 903.0 Beta]].

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:''Alternity'' Convoy was simultaneously available in both this silver coloration, and a deco based on his traditional appearance termed "Vibrant Red" (see below). The figure was later redecoed to create "[[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Alternity 2|Convoy [Super Black]]]" (representing not Optimus Prime, but ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]]), ''Alternity'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Alternity|Ultra Magnus]], and ''Alternity'' [[Dai Atlas (G1)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]].

{{toydesigner|[[Hisao Nishimoto]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the sixth wave of ''Transformers'' Deluxes (the second and final wave of ''Reveal the Shield''), this Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#LaserOptimusPrime|see above]]). Transforming into an International 8200 truck, he has some influences from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus Prime]], including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic [[robot mode]] proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a [[light-piping]] effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he's part of ''Reveal the Shield'' and features a [[rubsign]], this time on the roof. He is also ''very'' articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ''and'' [[Swivel joint|hinged]].

: The original Hasbro [[Stock photography|stock photos]] depict him as having red [[paint operation]]s on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.

: Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a [[design flaw]], inferior plastic quality, or both: due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate [[5 mm post]]s, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually ''breaking'' on either location thus far.

: This toy was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#BotCon2012|Optimus Prime]] and ''Timelines'' [[Scourge (RID)#Timelines|Scourge]], and was retooled into ''Timelines/Shattered Glass'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]].

While the paint masks are identical to the Special Edition release, ''United'' Optimus Prime features additional paint operations on the hip, the stomach grille, the fold-up waist panels, the lower chest piece (at least in the front), and the forehead.

:Although the stock photo (pictured from the right) shows both of his biceps painted silver with his Autobot insignia tampographed on the left shoulder, the final product omits the paint operation (due to being molded with unpaintable plastic) and the insignia is placed on his left forearm, just like his ''Classics'' figure.

:The third ''United'' Optimus Prime toy is a redeco and slight retool of the [[#Transformers (2010)|Deluxe Class figure]] from Hasbro's 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline, itself an homage to Prime's ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|"Laser" form]]. The toy features translucent blue plastic as opposed to Hasbro's orange, red paint is used on the biceps instead of blue paint, extra red paint applications on the knees like the original's sticker detail, and more broken-up red apps on the shoulders. Silver detailing was added to the cab mode on the grill, the bumper, and near the doors. The blue plastic in cab mode is now black plastic to make the figure more accurate to the ''Generation 2'' original. The gray plastic is changed from the Hasbro version to more closely match the [[#G2reissue|2006 reissue of Laser Optimus Prime]]. Black paint was applied to the cab mode to mimic the fade from red to black on the original Laser Optimus, but still includes a flame deco like the Hasbro version, only in a different design. It lacks the roof-mounted rubsign of the Hasbro version, instead including Autobot insignias on the cab doors. (Disappointingly, they are Generation 1 insignias, rather than ''Generation 2'' ones!) Additionally, a retool was made to the peg on the inside of his right shoulder, to make it shorter and wider than the Hasbro version, allowing it to move freely without hitting the torso, unlike the Hasbro release.

As such, Black Optimus Prime is mostly cast in black plastic, with some gray parts, translucent red windows and teal paint operations.

:The only differences with the unreleased version, aside from the packaging, are that silver paint has been added to the previously unpainted grill/fender area, the blue paint operations have been changed to teal, and the red Autobot insignias have been replaced by purple Decepticon ones. Prime's [[bio]] apparently explains that he took on this new color scheme in order to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks, in response to recent attacks by some new Decepticon forces pretending to be Autobots.

:This reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure comes in a two-pack with the Deluxe-Class ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime figure]]. Prime himself is almost identical to the ''Encore'' release, save for his trailer hitch which was retooled to allow a peg to be inserted within it while still being able to be inserted into the trailer itself (making it compatible with his G1 trailer and the new trailer included). Like the Encore release, he features lighter colors and tampographed shoulder symbols (which vary slightly from the Encore release).

:His original trailer is not included with the set; instead, he comes with [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|a new deluxe-scaled trailer]], not available with any other figure, based on the one towed by Prime in ''Dark of the Moon''. The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5 mm post|5 mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

:Oddly, for their official [[stock photography|promotional photography]], Takara took an existing photo of Optimus Prime's robot mode that was at least a decade old, having previously been used as a very early (and inaccurate) illustration for Hasbro's then upcoming ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' reissue of the figure.

The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on Generation 1 Optimus), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

: The smaller of the two Optimus Prime kits in year one, this version is based more on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|original Optimus Prime]]. The small cabover-style tractor-trailer truck build is solid, unable to seat any Kreons inside. The robot mode is heavily restricted in its articulation, with no knees, and only single-direction-swivel elbows and shoulders.

: Released in the third wave of "Brick Box" sets, and found only at Dollar General stores, this version of Optimus Prime uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face and torso tampographs are new.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year Sideswipe set (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to make whatever with.

: Part of the first wave of "Battle Changers", this version of Optimus Prime is a ''severely'' built-up Kreon that transforms from truck into a robot and back without removing any parts! However, the sheer chunkiness of his limbs hanging off a Kreon torso make for awkward positioning and questionable balljoint grip strength.

:This version of Battle Changers Optimus was only available in a two pack set with [[Megatron (Kre-O)#Battle Changers|Battle Changer Megatron]]. He is ''largely'' the same construction as as the single release, but has numerous small differences. He uses a new "double harness" piece on his torso instead of using two harnesses, leaving more space for his head to grip the neck-post, and his chest/windshield parts are each a single clipped "flag" part rather than the multi-part assembly of the single-pack. And of course there's the additional trailer, which doesn't have any official robot mode rebuild, and only loosely "connects" to the truck-mode Optimus by being lightly hooked to a single short bar on the back of Optimus's right leg.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). Another is based on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]] (Soundwave helmet), and the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?

:[https://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=400&size=1&image=29 First shown at New York Toy Fair 2015], the Mini-Con Combiners were apparently cancelled without fanfare... a decision that must have come late in the day, as they went on to star in their own promotional animation, "[[Stuck in a Tree]]", released about eight months after the trade show.

:Part of the first wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Optimus is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall.

:Part of the first (and only) wave of larger electronic ''Hero Mashers Transformers'' toys, the base Optimus Prime figure in this set is ''almost'' identical to the above "Battle Upgrade" toy; this version has a closed right fist that can hold accessories rather than the Battle Upgrade version's finger-pointy one.

:However, this set comes with a completely different (and much larger) pile of accessories to turn Optimus (or any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure) into a hulking armored warrior. He comes with an extra left forearm with an electronic light, used to light up clear-plastic accessories when they're plugged into his wrist socket. Several of these accessories take inspiration from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]]'s gear, notably a very ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''-esque shield.

:Oddly, the big stompy boots accessories are designed in a way that Optimus is really far back in them, leaving a huge gap between his shins and the boots' "knee" guards. Presumably this is to accommodate other ''Hero Mashers'' toys with much larger footprints.

The tooling is identical to the 2012 release's running change variant, with the retooled hands and a hole on the back of his head/top compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3 mm]] pegs.

:Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Optimus Prime/Autobot Roller two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Reveal the Shield'' Optimus Prime's packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the sword that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the sword.

:Legion Class Optimus Prime has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] repleaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Russia. In Singapore it was released together with [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]] as part of the promotion for ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' in selected cinemas.
:This figure was made available again, without any changes, in 2015, this time in new packaging resembling the then-concurrent packaging design for the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia., and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

**''ID number:'' '''UW-05'''
**''Accessories'': Weapons, 4 Gun/Fist/Foots
:Takara's iteration of ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus Maximus is sold in a gift set including all five Autobots (minus the Rodimus mold). This version of Convoy has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Like ''Unite Warriors'' [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|Menasor]], the set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Convoy for increased stability. He also had the slightly modified pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack, Runabout, and Runamuck) can securely attach to, which was previously used for Battle Core Optimus Prime. The tampographed Autobot insignia on the roof/flip-out head joint is now re-positioned to his side truck panels.

:Compared to the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' release]] of the mold, Convoy features additional paint operations on the thighs, truck bumpers, the details on the inner legs, the gestalt chest halves (which are now painted over due to being molded in grey plastic), and the gestalt torso's lower section. The stomach's deco is also minimized, and the silver paint operations on the lower legs are now replaced with gunmetal while the mute metallic blue is now shiny metallic. When it comes to unpaintable plastic; his knee joints and feet are blue while the majority of the shoulder joints are now red. In addition, his gestalt skirt flap is now molded in the same grey color, and the leg panels and thighs are now molded in black, with the latter being painted in silver with some yellow details. As the thighs are painted, care must be taken while transforming him in both modes, as they're somewhat prone to paint scraping. To minimize the damage, the two rear halves must be opened first to transform the legs.

:Despite the ratchet fix, however, Convoy is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to several design failures attributed to his torso mode. The square holes and tabs used to secure the arms together when in torso mode are too weak to remain locked in place (though a very small number of copies can secure the arm well), and are prone to falling out of position should an attached arm be moved. The torso mode's skirt plate is also attached to the stomach rather than the pelvis, rendering the waist swivel nearly worthless due to the skirt obstructing articulation.

He transforms from robot to tanker truck to plane and back. Both vehicle modes have "cockpit" areas to seat any [[Titan Master]] (or compatible) figure. Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager class figures, he has built-in mechanisms to "bulk up" his noggin. In his case, these are spring-loaded pylons. The smaller Headmaster's robot mode is also painted to resemble Ryu.

:Convoy was only available in a two-pack with [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Street Fighter II × Transformers|Megatron]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[M. Bison#Toys|Vega]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>. This set was available for pre-order on [[TakaraTomy Mall]] from [[November 22]] to [[November 27|27]], 2017, with orders fulfilled in late May 2018. A pre-order goal was also set: if at least 3000 units were pre-ordered, the set would also come with clear display stands for both toys.

:This two-pack was later brought to the West in 2022 as part of the ''[[Transformers Collaborative]]'' line, released as a [[Target]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] exclusive in the United States. These releases are functionally identical to the Takara versions; the Hasbro versions have new manufacturing tampographs, but are otherwise the same. They even have all of the Takara packaging ''inside'' the new Hasbro outer packaging!

[[File:Robosen_Optimus_Prime_stock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|This isn't your slightly older brother's [[Automorph Technology|automorph.]]]]
*'''Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Robot''' (2021)
**''Accessories'': carrying case, laser rifle, energy axe, non-removable exhaust pipes, wall charger, micro USB to USB 2.0 cable

:[[Robosen]]'s Optimus Prime is a highly interactive, programmable transforming robot. With over 5,000 pieces, 60 microchips, 27 servo motors, 6 high-intensity [[light-emitting diode|LED]]s, 80 different sound effects including voice clips from Peter Cullen, a dedicated iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, and a pricetag of $750 USD, it blurs the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics." Users can choose between multiple ways to control its robotic movements: including pre-programmed voice commands, pre-programmed app controls, or user-created movement scripts. In truck mode, it can drive as directed or honk its horn. In its [[#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]-influenced 19"-tall robot mode, it can execute a long list of included scripted actions featuring voice and sound effects, plus an infinite variety of user-programmed poses and user-scripted movement sequences. It has distinct attack movements and sounds to be used with its weapons, and has flip-out wrist communicators featuring sticker images of Megatron and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]].

:The main power source is an internal rechargeable lithium ion [[battery-powered motor|battery]]. The truck's front bumper flips down to expose the charging port and the separate micro USB interface port. A replaceable CR 1220 3V battery powers the "laser rifle's" LED; it's not really a laser, but it's bright. The instructions say don't look straight at it.

:In voice command mode, the spoken user command for conversion between truck and robot modes is officially supposed to be "[[Trademark#Genericized trademarks|convert]]," but secretly the toy will respond the same if you say "transform." It also responds to more than 30 other simple words and phrases which trigger other animations and basic functions: such as: "turn left" to turn left, "move right" to step to the right, or "hero" to strike a superheroic ground-punching pose. 6 months after launch, the Robosen software developers were still releasing new movement animations and firmware updates via channels that can be found in the official app, with no announced end date for their continuing improvements.

:27 servo motors might sound like a lot, but compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing hundreds and hundreds (''and hundreds!'') of dollars less, this item does lack some some pretty standard joints: such as neck rotation, wrist rotation, and thigh swivels.

:Although this Optimus Prime does mostly transform on its own, there are some additional manual adjustments required to make each mode look the way it's advertised. In robot mode, one red panel can be removed from the back of the head, and the gas tanks can be moved into a lower position on the legs. If the gas tanks are not lowered, they can protrude enough to obstruct animation. For vehicle mode, the removable red panel should be reattached, gas tanks moved back so they don't cover the wheels, and the side-view mirrors can be flipped out.

:In truck mode, especially via app control, Optimus is a fully functional remote control vehicle that can move forward, backward, and turn. Its steering does not happen the way real trucks do when they tilt the axles of the front wheels within their wheel wells; Instead, Optimus turns by throwing both legs simultaneously to one side or the other, which gives the appearance that the entire cab is pivoting around a central axis.

:In robot mode, Optimus' default idle behavior is not to stand perfectly still. Instead, he will slowly "breathe" with a subtle inhaling/exhaling motion like a human would have after aerobic exercise. From there, he will occasionally shift into other statuesque poses.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Optimus is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:None of the toy's motorized joints are capable of supporting substantial weight without electricity. This means that when powered off, the robot cannot stand upright without external support. If the toy is in robot mode and senses its batteries are getting low, then to prevent a damaging fall, it will automatically shift into a droopy squatting pose that it can safely sustain while powered off. The average operating time from a full battery charge is approximately 40 minutes. The charging port is not accessible while the robot is standing up. Plugging in the charger while the toy is powered on might endanger fragile components.

:Yes, the above means that this toy in effect cannot be displayed in robot mode when not in active use. It can't really be displayed in the proper truck mode either, as the robot legs need battery power to stay rigidly locked into truck configuration and will droop when turned off. It is rather clearly intended to remain in its protective carrying case most of the time.

:Aside from the laser rifle, none of the LED lights in the eyes, headlights, or tail lights can be deactivated while the toy is powered on. In robot mode, the brake lights shine brightly from the backs of the feet, and the headlights shine from within the forearms. Some of the pre-programmed actions exploit this deliberately, by having Optimus brandish his bright headlights as flip-out weapons. The laser rifle's LED turns on and off with its own physical switch.

:Many of the pre-loaded animations assume Optimus is holding his gun in his right hand and/or that he is holding his axe in his left hand. The toy has no sensors to detect whether those accessories are in place, and the app does not consistently label which animations use accessories. It also does not label the many animations that might damage the toy if attempted while accessories are attached, but <s>transforming</s> converting him or punching the ground would be a bad idea. So don't activate any animations while the accessories are attached unless you're sure you know what will happen.

:In addition to action/fighting/greetings animations, there are also many silly animations available from the official download page, including: Air Guitar with the G1 cartoon theme song, air drumming, a gyrating silent "Christmas" dance, doing push-ups then getting exhausted and passing out, and the {{w|Dab_(dance)|Dab}}.

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences: such as a head nod, a full mode conversion, or vehicle driving commands.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Prime's knuckles and feet will instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users report toppling issues due to a ''lack'' of traction.

:The sound effect for Prime's gun is of a distinctly "realistic" machine gun, and Hasbro has stated this effect may be changed.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/22623017/optimus-prime-transformer-auto-converting-programmable-robot-hasbro-robosen Review of Robosen Optimus Prime] mentioning the sound effect choice</ref>

:Accurate 3-D images of this Robosen toy appear throughout its app interface, but the app also decorates prominent buttons with drawings of ''[[Evergreen]]'' Optimus. The app and manual also contain many mistakes in spelling, grammar, typography, labeling transposition, etc.

:This item was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in April 2021, and began shipping to purchasers in October 2021. The TakaraTomy release of the figure is unchanged, though the dialogue is swapped from English to Japanese with [[Tesshō Genda]] reprising his role.

:A ''massive'' (and similarly pricy) [[Combat Deck (G1)#Robosen Collector's Edition|auto-converting trailer]] with [[Roller (G1)#Robosen Collector's Edition|Roller]] was later released to pair with this Optimus, as well the powered [[Flight stand#Robosen|Robosen AI Base]] which allows for prolonged display in robot mode.

:The first ever collaboration between [[Hasbro]] and one of its main competitors, [[LEGO]], 10302 Optimus Prime is a fully brick-built model of the Autobot leader standing 13.5 inches tall, released under LEGO's ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Icons|Icons]]'' theme. Unlike (most of) Hasbro's ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets that preceded it, this ''LEGO'' Optimus Prime set is fully transformable from robot to truck mode without having to disassemble any parts.

:A tall, top-heavy model, stability concerns mean he is not as articulated as a normal action figure, notably lacking bending knees. He includes an optional waist piece for fans to either display him with the Generation 1 toy-accurate truck bumper or the cartoon-accurate yellow block-shaped detail. He also includes a (then) brand-new piece for his [[mouthplate]] (named the ''Slope, Curved 33 2 x 2 Double / Inverted'' on BrickLink, with the item number being #1762), which has since gone on to be used in plenty of other LEGO sets.

:Prime comes with a plethora of brick-built accessories. He includes his ion blaster, his "Energon axe" (which can plug into either wrist once you remove the fist), a pink "Energon cube", the "Autobot Matrix of Leadership" (which can be stored inside his chest), and a jetpack based on the one he borrowed from [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]" (which can be attached to his back). Aside from the Matrix, only the ion blaster has dedicated storage when Prime is in truck mode, fitting between his legs to form the truck's trailer hitch; according to a small trivia blurb in the instructions, this is because the ion blaster was the only accessory in the set that was also included with the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy. Of course, this is LEGO we're talkin' about, so if you want, you can store the rest of the stuff on him anywhere you see some exposed studs!

:To round things out, an ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Ultimate Collector's Series|Ultimate Collector's Series]]''-styled display plaque featuring Optimus Prime's name (in both English and Ancient Autobot), function, motto, and [[Tech Spec]]s is included.

:Optimus Prime's [[Instructions|instruction booklet]] contains a short segment written by none other than LEGO Senior Designer [[Joe Kyde]], which showcases the history of the ''Transformers'' brand and the character of Optimus Prime. Unfortunately, said instructions also contain an assembly error: the stickered details on Prime's thighs are applied upside down compared to the Generation 1 [[character model]]. This error is also present on the [[stock photography]] on the packaging. Fortunately, the panels can be removed easily and reinstalled in the correct orientation for a more accurate robot mode. The aforementioned blurb also contains an amusing compromise—giving up on any attempt to reconcile Optimus's famous catchphrase and the need to protect Hasbro's ''Transformers'' [[trademark]], it renders the iconic command as [[:File:Convert and roll out.jpg|"Autobots, ''convert'' and roll out!"]]

:Released as part of LEGO's ''BrickHeadz'' theme of [[super deformed]] characters (a line launched by the Danish brand in 2016 as a competitor of sorts to [[Funko Pop!|Funko Pops]]), this set includes two builds of Optimus Prime, one in his robot mode and another in his vehicle mode, both of which can be built and displayed separately. Unlike LEGO's previous Prime, this model features a color scheme closer to the cartoon design rather than the toy. Like the rest of the ''BrickHeadz'' toyline, he features no stickers, with all of his details being printed onto the pieces instead, which comes in rather handy for LEGO MOC designers who might want to reuse the many little windows and insignia included in this set. The sides of his head feature a pair of 2x2 round tiles with Autobot insignia, something that did not appear on said cartoon design but, again, certainly helps with MOCs.

:Optimus has no accessories and, as customary with ''BrickHeadz'' toys, no articulation to speak of, but is very proficient at just standing cutely! The truck on the other hand, can be popped off the base and rolled around!

:A common gag across BrickHeadz toys is the inclusion of pink bricks within the structure of their heads, suggesting the characters' brains. Prime and his wave-mate [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#BrickHeadz|Bumblebee]], however; actually have transparent pink bricks inside their heads, representing Energon cubes instead!

Optimus Prime retains ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''/''Kingdom'' Ultra Magnus's blaster accessory, colored in a darker metallic gray in a possible attempt to emulate Prime's usual [[ion blaster]].

:Unusually for TakaraTomy, the vehicle mode stock photos are slightly mistransformed - the upper body isn't slid all the way forward, which makes the truck grille appear misaligned. Also, the Hasbro Pulse listing of the figure labels it as a "[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'']]" figure, likely because the figure's box comes sheathed in a ''Masterpiece'' branded sleeve.

:Sold separately are two alternately colored bases; one in heroic Autobot red and the other in '''EVIL''' Decepticon purple. Initially due for release in March 2022, Prime and the bases were eventually released on June 30.

: Produced in collaboration with Japanese space agency {{w|JAXA}} and {{w|Toyota}}, Lunar Cruiser Prime is a roughly Voyager-sized figure that transforms into the as-of-2023 current version of Toyota's "Lunar Cruiser" concept for an enclosed lunar rover, in part to promote TakaraTomy's own unmanned "SORA-Q" rover, which successfully deployed on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in January 2024 (after some delays). The large solar panel can tab onto the tube on the left side of the vehicle, or be folded in half and tucked away inside the vehicle's back end. The round roof-mounted antenna is on an adjustable armature. Despite not including any hand-mounted accessories or weapons, the figure features 5 mm compatible fists as well as hinged knuckles, allowing the hands to open.

: In robot mode, Prime can hold the solar panel like a shield. Both the shield and radar dish can attach to the adjustable "smokestack"-like assemblies on each of his shoulders, leaving his hands free. A [[Matrix of Leadership]] can also be spotted molded into the drivers' compartment.

:The figure was made available one month ahead of its general release on Japanese crowdfunding site Campfire in four tiers:
::* A version identical to the general release.
::* A package including a modular ''Masterpiece'' style stand.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy),<ref name=Gens24>[https://www.soundwavesoblivion.com/techspecs/interviewhironorikobayashi.html Interview] with [[Hironori Kobayashi]] on the ''[[Missing Link]]'' toyline for ''[[Transformers Generations 2024]]'', translated at Soundwaves Oblivion</ref> [[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist), [[Shin Ueda]] (packaging artist)}}<ref name = "Missing Link">Article on Missing Link Convoy in [[Figure King]] issue 308 (September 2023), p109</ref>

:Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers'' brand, ''[[Missing Link]]'' Convoy's appearance is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' toy—but with the benefit of forty years of advances in toy engineering. It retains almost all of the original toy's [[gimmick]]s, and adds a bunch more.

:Although superficially identical to the vintage figure, its engineering has received a total overhaul to add a load of new points of [[articulation]]. Compared to the original, the toy boasts [[ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet]]ed elbows and knees, hinged knuckles, wrist curls, ankle tilts, a deeper forward bend for the feet, double-jointed outward shoulder motion, universal joints at the hips (with the wheels now folding out on skirts to accommodate outward leg motion), along with a neck [[Swivel joint|swivel]], a limited waist swivel and even an ab crunch! Unusually, the toy's [[instructions]] specifically demonstrate how to make use of all these new points of articulation. Where the original toy famously had [[Partformer|detachable]], easy-to-lose fists, this isn't the case with this modern update; the new, slightly smaller fists tuck neatly behind the grille (as with many other modern takes on this basic transformation scheme), revealing a pair of headlights — instead of holes — in the process. To facilitate the vast improvements to the lower body articulation and to help support the legs in truck mode, the toy foregoes one of the most iconic steps in the original transformation — where swinging the truck bed down causes it to separate into the legs — instead mounting the hips on individual [[slide joint]]s that must be carefully wiggled apart past a bracket in the middle first. These intricate plastic components are surrounded by heavy die-cast parts, and the thigh swivels in particular can be extraordinarily tight on some copies, which makes posing the legs feel ''precarious'' to say the least! We would advise maintaining a firm grip on the red sliding brackets and die-cast hips, as close to the joint being moved as possible, to prevent any excessive leverage being applied.

:All of the original accessories are included with this revamped release, plus some extras. The [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s launching mechanism has been nixed, in favor of allowing the repair drone to detach from the trailer and roll around on its own wheels. [[Roller (G1)|Roller]] (colored silver, not blue) has a new hinge to allow the port for the [[ion blaster]] to rotate out of sight, being replaced with a painted red light detail (harkening back to its appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]") . Roller's wheels and the toy's missiles are packed still attached to their [[sprue]] just like in the old days, complete with an extravagant spare set of missiles. The fuel pump, hose and nozzle are included basically unchanged as three separate parts but are in fact new tooling. In addition to these classic parts, the toy also comes with brand new accessories [[show-accuracy|inspired by the character's animation appearances]]: a chrome-gold [[Matrix of Leadership]] (which fits in his chest, like the similar accessory included with the older "[[#NewYearConvoy|Special Specification]]" release), and a transparent [[energon-axe]] which clasps shut over either hand. The ion blaster now features two [[5 mm post]]s to allow him to grip it normally, or even hold it with both hands thanks to his new articulation, and features a revamped sculpt based on the vintage accessory's earlier "thick" barrel variant (which informed the gun's animated depiction). A special chrome-silver mounting piece for the Matrix sits behind the truck windows, but can be removed to reveal the classic seats for smaller ''[[Diaclone]]'' figures.

:The toy has the classic Autobot [[rubsign]], [[rubber tires]] (with the classic real-world "[http://www.ewillys.com/2021/03/16/desert-dog-history-and-ads/ Desert Dog Formula]" brand), [[die-cast]] parts, and features all the same [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] surfaces as the vintage toy. The details of the original [[sticker]]s (on the arms, knees, and toes) have been fully molded into the plastic and picked out with paint—but the toy ''also'' comes with a direct recreation of the original sticker sheet anyway. The toy also comes with a marketing insert, a collector's [[card]] (with, oddly enough, a small hole punched through the top), and a [[Tech Spec]] decoder for reading the graph printed on the back of the [[packaging]] alongside the classic back-of-the-box mural. Everything is neatly presented using a polystyrene tray. For this release, the illustrator of the toy's original Japanese [[package art]], [[Shin Ueda]] (credited in English right on the new box!), was commissioned to produce a brand-new piece based on the iconic transformation-into-midair-leap pose from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Ironically, though the toy is finally capable of reproducing the ''original'' boxart pose, the engineering of its waist rotation means the ''new'' pose is impossible!

:Since the trailers are nearly identical in shape, the sound effect module from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy]] is compatible with the trailer of this release, though the module can't connect to Convoy's robot mode back.

:Although entirely a [[TakaraTomy]] initiative, the ''Missing Link'' toys were made available directly to Western fans via [[Hasbro Pulse]], sold under the name Optimus Prime. The toy kept its longer smokestacks and fully-functional firing missiles, which Hasbro had shortened [[for safety reasons]] in prior releases.

:In addition to the anime edition Convoy below, this toy was also redecoed to make ''Missing Link'' [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Missing Link|Sentinel Prime]] and [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Missing Link|Nemesis Prime]].

:A more affordable release of the ''Missing Link'' Convoy toy was sold without the trailer. This version of the toy goes for [[show-accuracy]], omitting the various paint applications intended to replicate [[sticker]] detailing, painting the toy's eyes blue instead of yellow, swapping the blue plastic for a slightly brighter shade, and picking out an [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] in fine white outlines solely on the left shoulder. Unlike Hasbro's contemporaneous ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' reissues, which similarly aim to use clever deco work to bring the original G1 toys closer to their animation depictions, this release keeps the chrome, instead of using a dull silver plastic.

:The toy still comes with its ion blaster (with a gunmetal paint application on its vent), energon-axe, and Matrix (now painted in animation-accurate metallic orange and silver); the Matrix housing is left as bare black plastic. A smaller sticker sheet is also included for [[customizing]] options—much like the one for the full release, but omitting all the trailer stickers. Three small yellow stickers are provided to replicate the waist/bumper details from the cartoon character model. The paperwork included is similar to the full release.

: ''Reactivate'' Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a post-apocalyptic armoured truck, based on his appearance in the cancelled ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' video game. Optimus was only available with [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Reactivate|Soundwave]]. He comes with the usual Optimus accessories; an ion blaster, an energon axe that can fit over either fist, and a removable Matrix of Leadership (a repaint of the Matrix included with ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Optimus Prime).

: Optimus suffers from a [[design flaw]]- the handle on his ion blaster is far too short, resulting in an extremely loose grip. His torso can sometimes be tough to tab in properly because of tolerance issues, resulting in a conspicuous gap between his chest and abdomen; leaving the folded truck roof parts on his back untabbed will allow the rest of the torso to fit correctly while not affecting the toy's general articulation and functionality.

:A very surprising addition to this page, ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]'' Optimus Prime represents [[Hasbro]] licensing one of its direct rival toy companies, [[Mattel]], to sell a "proper" transforming Transformers action figure. Available exclusively through the Mattel Creations direct-to-consumer website (essentially their version of [[Hasbro Pulse]]), this is a diminutive recreation of the cab/robot portion of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime at the traditional ''Hot Wheels'' scale of 1:64 in truck mode, and standing 3.5" tall in robot mode. Prime is constructed from [[die-cast|die-cast metal]] covered with special glossy paint known as "spectraflame",<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/C7FadZ4S9_5/?img_index=1 John Lambert on Instagram "Spectraflame, heavy, and rad."

Even the [[unpaintable plastic]] areas in his calves, inner hips, and biceps now match the surrounding body colors to further line up with the animation model. For unknown reasons, this figure uses the wheels originally made for Earthrise Optimus' Trailer on the back of the cab.

:Revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2024, ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' Optimus Prime is yet another reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy, though it's now done in cartoon accurate colors, with a white pelvis and thighs. Notably, the need to reconcile the gray stripes on either side of Prime's robot mode abdomen and an animation-accurate stripe-less truck mode has resulted in truck mode stripes that abruptly end halfway down the cab. The truck cab has the long smokestacks, though the [[stock photography|toy photographs]] on the box depict short smokestacks.

:For the first time [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|since the 2008 ''Universe'' toy mentioned above]], this reissue also includes the trailer. This trailer has been noticeably modified from all prior releases in that the artillery drone no longer has triggers for the missile launchers, and no longer fits vintage Diaclone pilots.

:''[[MixMashers]]'' Optimus Prime is a 5-inch non-transforming action figure modeled after his evergreen design. Like the previously released figure from the ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' line, he features 10 detachable base body parts (which includes the shoulders, something that is not featured in the ''Hero Mashers'' line), all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint with soft ratchets. Optimus also comes with his signature Energon Axe that can only be mounted onto his left arm due to the forearm panel, and a set of orange/blue armor add-ons for his arms and legs, with removable missile pods for the leg pieces. He is further packaged with a pair of purple pistols and a gray "mega cannon" intended to match with his wavemate [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MixMashers|Megatron]], while that figure in turn comes with an orange/blue jetpack and black pistols meant for Optimus.

==Notes==
===Before he became Optimus Prime===
[[File:PrototypeTHB.jpg|thumb|Not so Optimus Prime.]]
*The first prototype for Battle Convoy, the ''[[Diaclone]]'' originator of Optimus Prime, was vastly different from the final version, complete with an entirely different transformation and a car carrying trailer. The head lacked the faceplate.
*A later prototype/mock-up was much closer to the final product but still has some noticeable differences, such as a head with much larger antennae, longer smokestacks and a front grille section that includes the rectangular section that would sport the "Freightliner" logo on the real-life truck (on the final toy, the rectangular section is part of the hinged upper section that includes the windows). It would have also been possible to attach the [[ion blaster]] to either of his shoulders.<ref name="diaclonecatalogs">[https://web.archive.org/web/20151017201739/http://1501bc.com/pretf/pictures/tfdiac6b.jpg Diaclone catalog scans] at 1501bc.com.</ref>
*The toy that would ultimately end up as the original Optimus Prime toy was originally released in August [[1983]] as No.17 Battle Convoy from Takara's Diaclone Car Robo toyline in Japan. In [[1984]], [[Joustra]] released their own version (still with ''Diaclone'' sticker on the trailer) as part of their Diaclone line in Europe, either simply called ''Truck'' (according to the pack-in catalog) or ''Diaclone'' (in the pack-in comic). It's possible that [[GiG]] also released a version called ''Camion Convoy'' as part of their ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy, but to this day no packaged sample has surfaced.

===The many releases of Optimus Prime===
[[File:SeveralG1Convoy.jpg|thumb|Too much Prime on my hands.]]
Over the years, the [[#The_Transformers|original Optimus Prime]] has been repackaged and reissued multiple times:
*In the US and Canada, limited edition promotional versions were available sporting Pepsi stickers; the Canadian version has large Pepsi stickers that cover the entire trailer, while the US version only has small Pepsi stickers that partially obscure the lines running across the trailer;
*In addition to the standard Japanese 01 Convoy release, Takara also released the toy as part of the [[#VSX|VSX Convoy vs. Megatron]] two-pack in [[1985]];
*Takara released a variant sporting clear blue windows and as part of the "[[#goodbye|Good Bye Convoy]]" set (packaged with [[Red Alert (G1)#Toys|Alert/Red Alert]] and [[Mirage (G1)#Toys|Ligier/Mirage]]) in [[1986]];
*Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) released the toy in Europe in late 1985, following a slight delay due to licensing issues;<ref name="mbtfs">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-5/ "The Jetfire vs Optimus Prime mixup"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref> there are no less than ''three'' variants of MB-packaged Optimus Prime, one of them manufactured by Takara and sporting blue feet, the other two manufactured by [[Joustra]] as part of a deal with Hasbro/MB, one of them with blue and the other one with red feet;<ref name="3mb">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/the-three-mb-optimus-primes/ "The Three MB Optimus Primes"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>
*After Hasbro's European division had changed the packaging from "MB" to "Hasbro", the toy continued to be available in 1986, including more of the Joustra-manufactured red and blue feeted versions, which were apparently also available in the UK in English-only packaging;<ref name="3mb"/>
*[[GiG]] released the toy as ''Commander'' as part of their ''Transformers'' line in Italy in 1985, including an all-plastic variant in 1986;
*[[IGA]] released their version in Mexico in 1985; unsold stock was later imported to a plethora of European countries, including the UK, with Optimus Prime having the yellow paint scraped off his eyes and then having them painted over in red;
*Hasbro reissued the "Original Autobot Leader" toy as part of their European ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line of reissues in [[1991]];
*Hasbro released a [[#Generation_2|redecoed version with additional accessories]] as part of their [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' line]] in [[1993]];
*Takara reissued the original toy in its original 1985 Japanese packaging in [[2000]], with an all-black recolor being available from assorted Japanese conventions and another variant with gold instead of silver parts, stickers, and paint as a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] prize;
*Takara reissued the toy again as ''New Year Special'' version in January 2002, sporting clear blue windows (similar to Good Bye Convoy) and featuring additional accessories such as a Matrix necklace and a [[Show-accuracy|show accurate]] recolor of the Action Master Optimus Prime figure;
*Hasbro reissued the toy in the US and the UK as part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Generation One Commemorative Series]]'' line of reissues in [[2002]], sporting shortened down smokestacks [[for safety reasons]], with longer missiles and modified missile launchers for the Combat Deck;
*Takara reissued the toy once again in [[2003]], as part of their ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues, numbered 00 and featuring additional accessories such as an energon axe;
*Takara released a recolored version featuring a new trailer in December [[2005]], called ''[[Pepsi Convoy]]''.
*Hasbro released their own version of Pepsi Convoy, named "[[#PepsiPrime|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]", as a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive in [[2007]], featuring the familiar [[For safety reasons|safety]]-shortened smokestacks of the Commemorative Series reissue.
*In August 2007 TakaraTomy yet again did a rerelease similar to the 2000 Convoy rerelease, this time as part of the "[[Transformers Encore]]" line. This version has a new rifle with a longer handle so Optimus can finally hold it straight.
*TakaraTomy released [https://web.archive.org/web/20080329084648/http://seibertron.com/advertisement.php?id=8 "Convoy iPod Docking Bay with Speakers"] in September 2007. It is an iPod speaker/dock in the shape of a truck, featuring an all-white version of Convoy with a new head sculpt reminiscent of Masterpiece Convoy as the cab, and a trailer housing a pair of speakers and a docking point for an iPod.
*In March [[2008]], TakaraTomy released a G1-colored version of the iPod Convoy set.
*Hasbro released the ''25th Anniversary'' gift set edition detailed above in 2008, as part of the 2008 ''Universe'' line, once again with [[For safety reasons|shortened smokestacks]].
*TakaraTomy released another reissue based on the ''Encore'' version as part of their ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' line in 2011, lacking the original Generation 1 trailer. Instead, the ''Chronicle'' version was available in a two-pack with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime]] and a new trailer that could be used by both Optimuses, thanks to a retooled trailer hitch on the Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure.
*In 2012, Hasbro reissued Optimus Prime again for their Asian markets, this time mixing the 25th Anniversary version of the toy itself with the older ''Commemorative Series'' packaging.<ref name="25thcomm">[http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=44388 "Bad news RE: new Commemorative Prime"] at Cybertron.ca.</ref>
*In 2019, Optimus was rereleased once again, this time without his trailer and with his original long smokestacks (something he hasn't had in America since Generation 2), in Hasbro's Vintage G1 line of reissues exclusive to Walmart stores in US and Canada.

===Powermaster Optimus Prime design history===
[[File:EarlyPMPrime1.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|Overcompensating.]]
{{multiple image|image1=EarlyPMPrime2.jpg|image2=EarlyPMPrime3.jpg|width1=115|width2=150}}

[[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime, being the grand toy rebirth of Optimus Prime post-movie, apparently received a lot of thought during the design process. Prime went through an inordinate number of design changes from concept to final with at least three very major revisions:

*The earliest version, as shown in the first patent application for the toy, was to have the Prime cab be a triplechanger, turning from truck cab to jet or robot.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19880604&CC=JP&NR=S63132686A&KC=A Patent #JP63-132686]</ref> The nosecone of the jet and robot legs were released by the Powermaster lock in the same fashion as the legs in the final version. Optimus would have had winged arms in non-super [[robot mode]]. The super robot mode's head was also integrated into the trailer's hitch... and lacked a faceplate.

*The second known version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p22, p106</ref> ditched the triplechanging gimmick on the cab and simplified things a good bit. This Powermaster Prime has several distinct characteristics only seen in the second design, such as the wider "block head" and two faux smokestacks on top of either shoulder as opposed to one. Also, in a rather odd twist, this design features a black head and fists for both super and regular modes rather than the traditional blue. It also had yellow eyes in either mode a la the original Optimus Prime.

*The third version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p106</ref> would quite possibly have been the most gimmick loaded Transformer in the history of the line, simultaneously being a Powermaster, [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], and [[Triple Changer]]. The Headmaster also would have been a Triple Changer, turning into a sort of armored four-wheeled rover (Roller II?) and robot as well as a rather silly looking Optimus Prime head with four vertically aligned wheels jutting off the sides. It seems that when the extra Headmaster gimmick was scrapped, the super mode head remained separate rather than being reintegrated into the trailer hitch such as on the earliest design. Notably, the body of this design is extremely close to the final design.
*A fourth version is shown in the 1987-88 Transformers product catalog that has several minor differences from both Powermaster Prime and [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]], such as having God Ginrai's sliding fists but in red, a completely different trailer hitch assembly partially based on the third design, an offset Autobot symbol in base mode, extended feet also based on third design, far more detailed super mode outer leg panels, completely different front bumper, and the first instance of single faux shoulder smokestacks rather than two. It is still unknown as to why Powermaster Prime has completely different arms from God Ginrai or all earlier concept versions.

Powermaster Prime's animation model as used in the commercials and as a character guide for the Marvel comics is a composite of the second and third designs. The body of the model is actually a straight tracing of the concept lineart for the third version (including its different rifles and twin faux shoulder stacks), with a slightly simplified drawing of the second version's head drawn on top.

===Miscellaneous Primes===
[[File:EarlyActionMasterOptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=.5]]
[[File:Early Star Convoy Planning Stage.jpg‎|thumb|left|I am the prototype of the toy of the future!]]
[[File:PMHeroTrace.jpg|thumb|Stealing purses across the ages.]]
*The preproduction version of Action Master Optimus Prime (featured in catalogs and on his [[Power Plans]]) used a darker blue closer to the 1984 toy and had upper legs painted grey. Amusingly, the mold also originally had longer smokestacks that were presumably trimmed down for safety or breakage issues, which would become something of a running theme with Optimus Prime toys.
*The ''Return of Convoy'' pack-in catalogs show Star Convoy as originally having silver paint on his vehicle mode and robot thighs, mirroring the similarly-colored parts of the original Optimus Prime design. However, the Star Convoy released at retail instead used bare white plastic, possibly as a cost-saving measure (as ''Transformers'' was rapidly losing popularity in Japan at the time). When Takara reissued the toy years later, it restored the originally-intended silver of the prototype.
*''Return of Convoy'' catalogs reveal the planning process behind Star Convoy's evolution from gimmick-rich illustration to prototype before reaching final production.
*The pose used for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#HeroOptimusPrime|Hero Optimus Prime]]'s [[package art]] is rather blatantly swiped from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Powermaster]] [[#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]'s package art.
*On a similar note, ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]'s package art is merely edited from ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s card art, keeping it mostly intact save for the removal of shoulder kibble and the addition of a non-windowed chestplate.
*The Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy was featured in a [[:File:Optimus prime nokia 6820.JPG|print ad]] for [[Nokia]] {{w|Nokia 68xx series#Nokia 6820|6820}} phones in December 2004.<ref name="nokia">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/20th-anniversary-optimus-prime-featured-in-nokia-a/4374/ "20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Featured in Nokia Ad"]</ref> He is posed bent over to look at the phone and scratching his head. Pleasantly, ''most'' of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un-[[Customizing|kitbash]]ed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy. (The real toy can't bend forward at the waist like that, alas.)
*''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime]] was initially intended to be Deluxe-sized. An alleged list of the tentative ''Classics'' line-up<ref name="classicslineup">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/possible-transformers-classic-line-up-4336/ Rumor] about the ''Classics'' lineup that turned out to be spot on aside from Voyager [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and Deluxe Optimus Prime.</ref> included a Deluxe-sized Optimus Prime without a trailer and a version ''with'' a trailer at the Voyager [[size class|price point]]; however, it appears the decision was eventually made to upscale Optimus to Voyager size instead.<ref name="sage">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/cybertron-crosswise-redeco-and-transformers-classics-info-4683/ "Cybertron Crosswise Redeco and Transformers Classics Info"] (via [[Joe Kyde]]'s proxy "SAGE2764")</ref> Don Figueroa's [[control drawing]]s for the Deluxe version were leaked before the ''Classics'' line was even released at retail.<ref name="primecontrol">Leaked ''Classics'' Deluxe Optimus Prime control drawings: [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-design-sketch-4691/ Vehicle mode], [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-robot-mode-design-sketches-4692/ robot mode]</ref> A gray model [[prototype]] was later shown as part of an interview with [[TakaraTomy]]'s staff in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1|Transformers Generations 2009 vol. 1]]''.<ref name="ttinterview">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/general-articles-25/translated-version-of-the-takara-tomy-transformers-henkei--classics-staff-interview-167073/ Translated TakaraTomy Henkei/Classics staff interview]</ref> It's unclear whether the trailer ever made it past the early planning stage before the size of the figure was changed.

'''Sunstreaker''' is pretty in plastic!

{{anchor|Generation 1}}
[[File:G1-toy Sunstreaker.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Yellow, I love me, let me jump in your game.]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Sunstreaker''' (Autobot Car, 1984-1986)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Left & right fists, 2 "rocket boosters", 3 rockets
{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Jeffrey Mangiat]] (packaging artist)}}

: Sunstreaker was released as part of the first year of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' line in the US, transforming into a "Super Tuning" customized Lamborghini Countach LP500S with an exposed rear-mounted engine. Each robot mode arm has a spring-launching mechanism to fire his fists, his chrome missiles, or his "rocket boosters" (once the boosters' main body was pushed forward to lengthen the connection peg), but the springs were severely neutered or removed outright in the US [[for safety reasons]]. The boosters fit very ''very'' loosely in the holes in his rear bumper/robot shoulders, making them pretty dubious additions to either mode.

: As with all his 1984 brethren, a heat-activated [[rubsign]] was added to Sunstreaker in 1985, appearing on his left door. Removed from toystore shelves in 1986, he was then made available as a mail-away item in several different promotions, among them a "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" flier packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point|robot points]].

: When Hasbro released the original ''Transformers'' toys in continental Europe through then-recently-acquired [[Milton Bradley]] in 1985, several toys were actually pre-existing stock originally intended for [[Joustra]]'s version of ''[[Diaclone]]'' acquired by Hasbro and put into MB-branded ''Transformers'' packaging. For some reason, the Sunstreaker toy (sporting its yellow Hasbro ''Transformers'' colors due to being produced during the ''Diaclone''/''Transformers'' transitional period) was released in packaging intended for [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Toys|Sideswipe]], an entirely different sculpt. The packaging even included Sideswipe's instructions and sticker sheet, neither of which were of much use for the toy.<ref name="mbsunswipe">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ "MB Transformers: Part 6"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref>

: Sunstreaker inherited some red [[sticker]] details from the original red-colored ''Diaclone'' version of the toy (see [[#Notes|notes]]): most obviously the shoulder stickers, but more subtly the vents on his chest stickers (numbered "1" in the instructions). The instructions show these being placed on the wrong sides; the red vents are supposed to show through from beneath the exposed engine in vehicle mode.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://tfsquareone.blogspot.com/2020/04/sunstreaker-sticker.html|name=Maz|site=Transformers Square One|title=Hasbro G1 Sunstreaker - Figure & Sticker History|year=2020|month=04|day=10}}</ref> Also, the engine sticker (numbered #3 in the instructions) was reversed. The Diaclone instruction shows that the proper placement is to apply it with the rainbow graphics facing the back. However, Sunstreaker omits the headlight stickers from the ''Diaclone'' release, leading many owners to misinterpret the small black rectangles that continue the stripe past his front wheels in vehicle mode as being headlights—our photo on the right is one such example!

: Sunstreaker is generally considered to be one of the harder early-generation toys to find complete and unbroken. Following its later [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]] in the European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] sub-line (see below), the toy's mold has been stated by [[Hasbro]] and [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] representatives to be one of several whose original molding is either lost or in a state of disrepair too extensive to justify the cost of re-casting, meaning that chances of any future reissues are slim.

: The stock photography on the box shows a prototype; you can tell because the tabs on the arms/launchers are red, as opposed to yellow on the actual toy.

: Sunstreaker's only [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] release was in this [[giftset]], which was also the only way to get [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Buzzsaw]] and [[Skids (G1)#Toys|Skids]] in Japan. This sounds unfair, but then one must remember Buzzsaw is an unstoppable killing machine.

: Sunstreaker was made available again in European markets in 1990, coming in nice new golden packaging as part of the "[[Classics (Europe)|Classic Heroes]]" range of [[reissue]]s. He featured no notable changes from his original release, complete with a lack of rubsign.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Sunstreaker''' (1985)}}</ul>

: Only available in Japan, this small, monochrome representation of Sunstreaker transformed by disassembling and reassembling his vinyl component parts. Hence, the name "Transform Block". The toy was first released as part of the Diaclone line alongside another toy representing the Diaclone version of Skids. The toy was simply put in new packaging for its Transformers release, which resembles that of [[Transform Jr]] toys.

: A [[retool]] of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Prowl (RID)#Toys|Prowl]] sculpt, ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Sunstreaker transforms into a Lamborghini Diablo; the roof-mounted police lights from the original mold were removed, leaving this area bare. Unusually for non-vintage Transformers at the time, he has rubber tires. In either mode, he is armed with two pressure-launch missile launchers with two flame-shaped projectiles. These launchers are mounted upon his right arm in robot mode. In vehicle mode, they can be mounted on two pegs located on his spoiler as "rocket boosters".

: It is notable that the part that connects the toy's windshield to the main body uses a yellow decal rather than paint, as that part is made out of [[unpaintable plastic]].

: Sunstreaker was the "hotel [[exclusive]]" toy at [[OTFCC 2003]], available only to those who booked their room at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare at the convention rate, the official hotel for the convention, with one toy per night booked, capped at two toys. Unfortunately, he and mold-mate fellow convention exclusive [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Sideswipe]] often had the wrong missiles packed in their boxes: Sunstreaker is supposed to have blue and white flames, Sideswipe yellow and white. Lot of part trading going on over that weekend.

: This mold was also used to make the ''Universe'' incarnation of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Inferno (BW)#Universe (2003)|Inferno]].

:*''Release date'': [[September 29]], 2005
:*''Accessories'': "Junko" driver/figurine, engine-block rifle

:In 2005, Takara and Hasbro released near-simultaneous and significantly different takes on Sunstreaker as a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] ''Binaltech/Alternators'' toy (itself a [[retool]] of [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Alternators|''Binaltech'' Lambor/''Alternators'' Side Swipe]]). The first to the market was the ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech Asterisk|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' version of the toy, including a PVC driver figurine, a girl named [[Kelly (RID)|Junko]]. Sunstreaker transforms into a 1:24-scale licensed "street performance" Dodge Viper with opening doors and hood, and an open passengers' compartment. His engine block becomes a rifle for his robot mode. Like the rest of the ''Binaltech Asterisk'' line, he was packaged in robot mode instead of vehicle.

:As a matter of fact, Sunstreaker was originally intended as the ''first'' retool/redeco of Lambor/Side Swipe: Early [[prototype]]s that were leaked to the public sported a sculpted Autobot logo, and development concept art and color maps detailed in ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' show a black-decoed figure. A store listing from March 2004 stated the figure's name as "'''Blackstreaker'''",<ref name="alternatorstfa">[http://www.tfarchive.com/community/showthread.php?t=22083 TFArchive news thread about Alternators store listing from March 2004.]</ref> suggesting that he was still intended to be Sunstreaker despite sporting different colors, possibly at the request of the car manufacturer. For reasons unknown, however, the toy was ultimately released as the [[Decepticon]] [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] instead, possibly to satisfy fan demands for Decepticons in the line, but this is mere supposition. It took more than a year until Sunstreaker would see shelves as originally intended.

: A few months after the release of ''Binaltech Asterisk'' Sunstreaker, the Hasbro ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' version was released as part of the standard retail line, in the redesigned "bubble" packaging (the third version of ''Alternators'' packaging). Though both are yellow redecos of the mold, the detailing between the two is ''very'' different, with the Hasbro version sharing many paint masks used for Dead End, adding red to the robot mode parts, as well as a pair of black racing stripes in car mode. Drastically put, the only two details virtually identical on both versions at first sight are the [[paint operation|paint mask]] for the head and the [[tampograph]]ed license plate. (This is particularly remarkable since a stolen [[prototype|pre-production sample]] of Hasbro Sunstreaker actually sported a license plate tampograph more in style with previous ''Alternators'' license plates, whereas the final version is dead on identical to the ''Binaltech Asterisk'' toy's tampo.)

:*''Series'': Classics Series
:*''Accessories'': "Electron Pulse Blaster", engine supercharger intakes
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] Deluxe Class toys, Sunstreaker transforms into a modified {{w|Lamborghini Gallardo}} (featuring a rear end that is basically a cross between a {{w|Lamborghini Murciélago|Murciélago}} and a {{w|Lamborghini Diablo|Diablo}}, split side windows and door vents from the {{w|McLaren F1}}). Like the original Sunstreaker's Lamborghini Countach form, the 2008 ''Universe'' vehicle mode features customized engine supercharger intakes mounted just behind the roof of the car. Sunstreaker's license plate is [[tampograph]]ed "WE R 84", referring to the year the ''Transformers'' franchise was launched. (Early Hasbro [[prototype]]s of ''Universe'' Sunstreaker had the [[license plate]] say "WE R 8'''2'''" instead.<ref name="unisunstreaker1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/universe-classics-20-autobots-262/sunstreaker-1596/ Various Hasbro stock photos for ''Universe'' Sunstreaker], all featuring a "WE R 82" license plate.</ref><ref name="uniprowl2">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/185434-classics-henkei-sunstreaker-prowl-comparison-pictures.html Scans from ''Dengeki Hobby Magazine''], also depicting ''Universe'' Sunstreaker with a "WE R 82" license plate.</ref>)

:[[File:SunstreakerSideswipeSDCC2007.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|One of the cases where the result turned out even ''better'' than the original idea. Well, except maybe for the weapon.]]
:Like many other new-sculpt ''Universe'' toys, Sunstreaker has a "dramatic head reveal" when transforming him to robot mode: when his chest is rotated into place, his head rises into position and his ears spring out. In robot mode, his supercharger engine accessory can be attached to his back, but it can also be attached to the "Electron Pulse Blaster" to create a larger weapon by wrapping the intakes around it, and the gun can be mounted in either of the holes on his shoulders, though Sunstreaker's "ears" get in the way. Most of this is not shown in the [[instructions]], which only instruct the owner of the toy to put the gun in his hand and attach the supercharger to his back.

:Though not specifically a [[quality control]] issue, the yellow paint used for Sunstreaker's roof does not precisely match the bright yellow plastic used for his car body panel parts. The dark tinted windows cause the yellow paint to take on a greenish tinge.

:Sunstreaker uses the same base mold as ''Universe'' [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sideswipe]], but with his robot mode turned 180 degrees at the waist, and factory-swapped fists. Hasbro's early plans for Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had the two as straight [[redeco]]/retools of each other using the hood-chest configuration. [[TakaraTomy]] designer [[Hisashi Yuki]] suggested turning the upper body 180 degrees, making Sunstreaker's robot mode resemble his [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] design more.<ref name="generations2009">Interview with Hisashi Yuki in [[Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1|''Transformers Generations 2009'' vol. 1]], [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/223379-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-2009-vol-1-translation.html English translation] at TFW2005.</ref> Based on the release order, Sunstreaker is considered the original iteration of the sculpt and Sideswipe the [[retool]], even though the two were designed concurrently. In addition, Hasbro originally intended the [[alternate mode]]'s supercharger to split into two halves which would then become the handgun and a spring-loaded shoulder launcher for the robot mode.

: Part of the sixth regular assortment of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, Sunstreaker is a [[Kreon]] minifigure that can be rebuilt into a race car with back-mounted "engine". While clearly based on the Generation 1 character, the details of his deco are much more based on the stylings of the [[live-action film series|live-action movie series]] and ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]''. He sports [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]]'s helmet.

: Unlike prior Micro-Changer assortments, this series does not have any sort identification code for the bags' actual contents, meaning you'd best be good at the feel-though-the-bag method.

:This assortment was originally slated to be a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]], but US stores dropped the line before its release. It was still available in Canada, Australia and Chinese/Asian markets. In 2015, the Collection appeared in US Dollar Tree stores, with a price tag of a whopping $1 a pop. They didn't last long.

: Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Sunstreaker is a [[retool]] of [[Breakdown (G1)#Combiner Wars|Breakdown]] sporting a brand new headsculpt. The hand/foot/gun can peg on top of the car mode to form an engine block, and can be either held in his hand or mounted on his back in robot mode via [[5 mm post]]s. His other weapon can be held as either a sword or a gun in robot mode, and can peg into a slot in the side of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]].

: Being a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, Sunstreaker can form a limb for any ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager figure, but would usually be associated with [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Optimus Maximus]]. He is also officially associated with [[Betatron (CW)|Betatron]].

: Sunstreaker comes with the comic book "[[The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati]]". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later appeared in the USA at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.

:As a part of the third and fourth wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s and [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Sunstreaker was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2015/08/28/transformers-combiner-wars-sticker-sheet-for-wave-3-and-4-figures-300471 Protectobot and Optimus Maximus sticker promotion on TFW2005]</ref>

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Sunstreaker transforms from robot to a licensed Lamborghini Countach LP500S mode, just like his brother [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Sideswipe]], but is of course a completely different mold.

:In vehicle mode, the rear electronic propulsion engine cover can be folded into the rear of the car for a more realistic Countach, and the rear combination tail-lights can be switched between realistic and toon modes. The doors and hood open, and the front headlights can be popped up. His spoiler can split in half to deploy a small barrel, the likes he used in [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]. Early magazine adverts showed him with a yellow spoiler, but subsequent photos depicted the spoiler in a silver chrome, as found on the released figure.

:To preserve cartoon accuracy, the windows on the chest are "[[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]]", however the main panel of the chest is formed by turning the roof of the car mode inside out, with the extra windows folding out from inside.<ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/05/23/takara-mp-39-masterpiece-clear-pictures-designer-team-interview-translation-339374 TFW2005.com: Takara MP-39 Masterpiece Clear Pictures, Designer Team Interview Translation]</ref>

:For accessories, he includes his small Electron Pulse Pun that can be stored inside an opening compartment on his leg (underneath the engine bay in car mode), and a Flare Gun, an exact replica of Sideswipe's rifle he used on the episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]" that can be stored on his backpack. In addition to the standard face, he comes with an additional smiling face and shouting face, and an alien mask from the episode "[[Hoist Goes Hollywood (episode)|Hoist Goes Hollywood]]"—for an additional homage to the episode he can stand on one leg too.

:Also included is a Chip Chase minifigure that can be removed from his wheelchair and placed on Sunstreaker's shoulders to recreate the episode "[[Roll for It]]". If purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Sunstreaker includes a [[collector coin]], mounted on a folding card that resembles his robot mode chest panel.<ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/12/20/takara-masterpiece-mp-39-sunstreaker-packaging-collectible-coin-hand-images-355639 Takara Masterpiece MP-39 Sunstreaker Packaging, Collectible Coin And In-Hand Images]</ref>

:Part of the third wave of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] Deluxes, Sunstreaker transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a Lamborghini Countach LP500S and shares some engineering with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Wheeljack]].<ref>{{citesocial|quote=一番気になってたサンストリーカーをホイルジャックと比較。変形機構はほぼ同じなのでリデコなのかと思いましたが、変形時のパーツ移動用のアームとか関節部のパーツとか、形状はほぼ同じなのにモールドが違ってってどうも新規っぽい。使いまわせそうな胴体フレームも別物だし・・・なんか不思議 https://t.co/ZQLF7vRyJa|link=https://twitter.com/Ishikawa_sunday/status/1312596933219770372|name=Ishikawa_sunday|site=Twitter|year=2020|month=10|day=04|(defunct=)}}</ref> His engine block can be used as a pair of rocket boosters or as a gun, though his forearms prevent the weapon's peg from fully settling inside his hands. Alternatively, the definitely-not-intended-for-potential-future-spoiler-use 5 mm holes that end up on his forearms in robot mode can accommodate the weapon comfortably.

:Similar to his ''Universe'' figure, Sunstreaker's chest is actually darker translucent plastic painted yellow. Although the yellow paint does not entirely match the yellow plastic, it is much less conspicuous than the earlier figure. Due to the pegs on the chest underside being painted, it can be very difficult to slot in place for car mode. This can be resolved by lightly sanding the front portions of the pegs until the gap can be cleanly closed.

:This mold was also used to make ''Selects'' [[Spin-Out (G1)#Generations Selects|Spin-Out]] and slightly retooled, with a new chest, into Spin-Out’s two-pack mate, [[Cordon (G1)#Generations Selects|Cordon]]. Due to COVID-19 supply disruptions, Sunstreaker and his fellow wave 3 Deluxes reached store shelves in Singapore before wave 2 was released.

:He comes with a map piece and decoder. Unlike the wave 2 Deluxes, his piece is not misprinted. It is part of Cybertron showing one of the moons. The moon is unlabeled, so which moon it is remains unkown.

:Sunstreaker was reissued through [[Target]] and Hasbro Pulse at the end of 2025, as his status as a [[tail-ender]] made him difficult for many fans to obtain.

: Released as part of the ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' "Autobots Stand United" multi-pack, Sunstreaker is a redeco of the ''Earthrise'' Sunstreaker above, in a more cartoon-accurate deco, with brighter yellow plastic and dark-charcoal plastic and paint instead of black. His roof, windshield and side-window parts are now the same opaque yellow plastic as the rest of his body, with light-blue paint for his "glass" portions. He also comes with an extra accessory, a light-gray version of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Elita One (G1)#Legacy|Elita-1]]'s rifle.

: Unlike the mold's original release, Sunstreaker's vehicle mode features two Autobot sigils, one on the car roof in the same manner as the original, and a new one on the car's hood, in an effort to reconcile the sigil's shifting location in the G1 cartoon. Due to the transformation engineering, the second sigil is only visible in the vehicle mode.

: This set also includes similarly-more-cartoon-based versions of [[Hound (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Hound]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Jazz]], [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Trailbreaker]], and [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Wheeljack]].

:''[[Missing Link]]'' Sunstreaker is a direct recreation of the [[#The Transformers|above Generation 1 toy]], only this time with mechanical tweaks that give him a much wider range of articulation, including rotation at the neck and elbow, outward leg movement, double-jointed knees, and an ankle tilt. In addition to all the accessories included with the original G1 toy, Sunstreaker comes packed in with a new rifle matching his brother [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Sideswipe]]'s, and a ''teeny-tiny'' [[Diaclone|Dianaut]] figure based on [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], which can sit in Sunstreaker's driver seat. Most of Sunstreaker's original [[sticker]] detailing is now sculpted in and picked out using metallic [[paint operation]]s, including for the very first time the headlights from the original ''Diaclone'' release, but he also includes a sticker sheet with various options: the original release's "COUNTACH" spoiler sticker has been removed (as this toy lacks a [[Licensed vehicle alternate modes|license]] from Lamborghini) and swapped for a second set of shoulder stickers, to replace his erroneous red shoulder coloration with the originally-intended yellow, while the waist sticker has been updated to include the "CAR ROBO" text from the ''Diaclone'' release.

:A prototype of ''Missing Link'' Sunstreaker was unveiled at [[TakaraTomy]]'s [[Our Origin: 40th Anniversary Transformers Exhibition|40th Anniversary expo]], and he later went up for pre-order in December 2024 for a June 2025 release.

:This figure was also retooled into Sunstreaker's wavemate, ''Missing Link'' [[Cordon (G1)#Missing Link|Cordon]]. In a crazy bit of attention to detail, the sticker detail under Sunstreaker's engine block has been sculpted to match the incorrect, flipped orientation of his original ''Transformers'' release, while Cordon flips the detailing back to match the original ''Diaclone'' toy.

:Released in the sixth wave of ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Sunstreaker is a roughly 4-inch tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Autobot Sports car Warrior. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Sunstreaker has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases. Sunstreaker comes with a pair of closed weapon-holding and open splayed hands, and a blaster. The barrel of the weapon is compatible with the blast effects included with other kits.

:Like the other ''Galaxy Version'' kits since Wave 2, Sunstreaker features a slightly upgraded suite of standard body parts, notably the multi-colored head piece with color-coded eyes, and he also features two pairs of sturdier pre-assembled hinge joints introduced in the fifth wave.

:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs. While an incorrect knee joint assembly may cause it to very slightly lean when standing straight or in an A-stance, an incorrect elbow assembly won't be noticeably affected unless you're looking very closely.

:Like most of the larger Galaxy Version kits, Sunstreaker features a simple neck joint that is colored to match his optics, allowing it to be see-through from his head's eye holes.

*According to Hasbro, the pre-''Transformers'' ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Sunstreaker was the first transforming car-to-robot toy ever designed, namely by [[Kōjin Ōno]].<ref name="hof2010">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/movie-news/TRANSFORMERS-HALL-OF-FAME-INAUGURAL-MEMBERS.cfm Hasbro press release for the 2010 Transformers Hall of Fame inductees]</ref> His alternate mode, a modified Lamborghini Countach with a rear-mounted supercharger engine, is actually based on an older [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] toy from their ''[[Microman]]'' line, the "Cosmo Countach" from 1978, which could also transform, albeit only into a weird half-robot, half-car hybrid.<ref name="cosmo">[http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~mikuro/sub1-6.htm The Cosmo Countach, Sunstreaker's ancestor]</ref><ref name="spencer">[http://www.spencer1984.com/serendipity/index.php?/archives/49-Sunstreaker-The-Missing-Link.html Spencer 1984 discovers the connection between the Cosmo Countach and Diaclone Sunstreaker]</ref> The ''Diaclone'' version of Sunstreaker, officially called Lamborghini Countach LP500S "Super Tuning", was originally only available in red and black/white police decos. This is one of several items that have led to the fan speculation that Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's colorations and [[bio]] texts were swapped around before their final release. Another factor being that, according to his ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' profile, Sunstreaker feels that Sideswipe's design is "spoiled by the rear-mounted engine in his automobile mode", when in fact Sunstreaker is the one with said engine. The fact that the engine ends up on his back in robot mode could be the inspiration for the "rocket backpack" from Sideswipe's bio. Finally, Sunstreaker's spring-loaded missile-launching forearms are more reminiscent of "powerful pile drivers" as mentioned in Sideswipe's bio. The yellow "rocket boosters" that were most often shown on his shoulders also had an adjustable connector peg that allowed them to attach to his arms, this was most likely the inspiration for the pile drivers. The [[Tech Spec|statistics]], however, are correct. This change would also explain Sunstreaker's otherwise inexplicable red shoulders/car panel decals, which were originally used to cover up the black plastic on the red Diaclone version.
**Unlike the red and police versions of Diaclone Sunstreaker, there is little evidence of yellow Sunstreakers packaged as Transformers wearing the factory decals representing his park lights (assumed to be headlights by most).
*The red ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Sunstreaker was sold by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in North America as the ''[[Diakron]]'' "DK-1" Car/Robot in 1983, seemingly just a few months before he would be rebranded as a Transformer.
*In 2003, an entry for a ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' "Sunstreaker" [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]] was found in Canadian and Australian [[Toys"R"Us]] computers. The public Canadian Toys"R"Us website later even illustrated their listing with a non-[[stock photography|official photo]] of the Generation 1 Sunstreaker toy lifted straight off a [http://www.ggaub.com/tf/toy.html fan's website], complete with watermark. Ultimately, however, the listings for "Sunstreaker" transformed into listings for ''Commemorative Series'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]], leading to some confusion among fans.
* A mock-up of a "Sunstreaker Police Type" redeco of the 2008 ''Universe'' Sunstreaker mold, an homage to the ''Diaclone'' toy pictured above, was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 1]]'' as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. The mock-up promised that the final product would feature less of a placeholder name, as well as a lightbar, presumably the one from the [[Red Alert (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|''Henkei!'' Alert]] version of the mold. In the end, it didn't win the [[Fan polls#Generations Magazine Exclusive Character Popularity Vote|poll]] to determine which of the ten would be produced, receiving only 3.8% of the fan votes.<ref>[http://millionhero.sblo.jp/article/101898683.html Poll results at Hero-X]</ref>
* The red and police decos eventually inspired the characters of [[Spin-Out (G1)|Spin-Out]] and [[Cordon (G1)|Cordon]], respectively.

Since 1984, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 '''Optimus Prime''']] has received the largest number of toys for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character, a testament to the character's enduring popularity and status as a hero to many fans.

Due to the popularity of the character and the evergrowing [[Generation 1 continuity family]], this article had become far too large, causing internet browsers to struggle loading all of its contents, and—in the most extreme cases—crashing entirely. For the sake of a nice clean split, we have opted to move all of Optimus Prime's ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys into a separate article which can be found '''[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys|here]]'''.

:*''Takara ID number'': '''01'''
:*''Accessories'': "Laser Blaster", left & right fists, trailer/"Combat Deck", "Roller", 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump
{{toydesigner|[[Hiroyuki Obara]] (TakaraTomy), [[Shōji Kawamori]] ([[Studio Nue]])|[[Jeffrey Mangiat]] (packaging art, Hasbro), [[Shin Ueda]] (packaging art, TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the first year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toyline]], Optimus Prime transforms into a White Freightliner WFT-8664T cabover semi-trailer truck with an additional trailer unit. In robot mode, his fists are separate accessories that must plug into his wrists; the fists do not store securely anywhere in vehicle mode, but can fit easily in Prime's chest/drivers' compartment. He is armed with a black laser rifle that, by design, he cannot hold straight. His articulation is relatively high for the era due to his transformation, and even has functioning knees, though their use is restricted by his lack of forward hip movement. His smokestacks can rotate, but are seemingly a form of [[for safety reasons|anti-breakage move]].

: Prime's [[trailer]] opens up into his [[Combat Deck (G1)#Toys|Combat Deck]], containing the scout drone, [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Roller]]. The interior of the Combat Deck features three raised holes that can accommodate Prime's laser rifle, fuel pump and nozzle accessories. The Combat Deck's central feature is a missile-armed repair drone pod mounted upon a boom lift arm, which can be extended through square holes in the trailer's roof and front end when it is closed. While the drone has spring-loaded missile launchers, the springs have been severely weakened in the Hasbro release. Situated in the base of the boom arm is a spring-loaded launcher that can launch Roller out of the Combat Deck and into action. Roller features a port that can accommodate either Prime's rifle or the fuel pump. The interior space of the trailer allows storage room for one standard [[Autobot Cars|Autobot Car]], which can also be shot forward by the launcher.

: The toy started life as the Takara ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Battle Convoy" toy, a piloted mecha, thus the numerous spots across the toy's components with little seats for Diaclone pilots that Optimus did not come with.

: [[File:G1toy optimus prime variants and running changes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Most people would be happy with just ''one'' Optimus Prime, but noooooo...]]

: Optimus was subject to several molding and color variations in his early days. The earliest release of the figure featured large rounded fists, a hefty rifle with a large rounded barrel, a thick fuel pump with a detailed nozzle, silver rockets, silver Roller, silver Combat Deck launcher, and metal plates in the floor of the Combat Deck (a holdover from the ''Diaclone'' version of the toy, to which the magnetic feet of the pilots could cling). In short order, new-yet-almost-identical [[mold]]s were created, presumably to refresh the tooling as the original had already been heavily used for ''Diaclone'' and so a wider range of factories (going from only Japan to Japan, China, Macau, and more) could produce more units to meet demand quickly, a common practice at the time. Prime's fists were resculpted to be smaller and more angular, the gun's silhouette was heavily revised, the fuel pump and nozzle were simplified, the rockets and launcher recast in black plastic, the Combat Deck's metal plates (and their clips) were removed, and the outer trailer detailing and door hinges were altered. Roller and the Combat Deck's drone pod color was swapped to a light blue, though a third running change soon followed that saw them restored to their original darker blue. The revised mold would be used by subsequent reissues of the Optimus toy, though Roller still fluctuates back and forth between grey and dark blue, depending on how [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] each reissue wants to be.

: The yellow square stickers marked #7 were meant to be applied in the idents on the front bumper, not on front of the Roller. The "Go" sticker marked #4 was meant to be applied on the bottom left corner of the ramp and not on the floor of the trailer near the ramp.

: The Japanese 1985 release of the figure also underwent the accessory changes, but never featured a silver Roller. Instead, Takara's original release of Prime featured a ''Diaclone''-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version. It also had fully-functional missile launchers on the drone.

: Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue. For the mainland Europe [[Milton Bradley]] release, there were two [[variant]]s of Optimus Prime available: the first version, manufactured by Takara, sported blue feet like most other versions; the second version, manufactured by [[Joustra]]'s parent company [[Ceji]], sported red feet instead.<ref name="3mb" /> On top of that, the Italian release of "Commander" by [[GiG]] eventually featured a [http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vprime6.html later variant] that replaced the rubber tires and [[die-cast]] feet with plastic parts, similar to the US [[KB Toys]] variant of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Toys|Ultra Magnus]].

: Having been removed from toy store shelves after 1985, Optimus Prime was made available as a mail-away toy in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" offer in the US in 1986 to coincide with the [[The Transformers: The Movie|''Transformers'' movie]] premiering that year. He cost $21.50 and 5 [[Robot Point]]s. He was also offered in "[[The Autobots Have a Special Mission for:]]" mail-away pamphlet, and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle; this edition of the toy is considered ''particularly'' rare.

: Over forty-plus years, there have been a ''bajillion'' releases of this mold, some identical to the original toy, and some featuring significant variants with notably different paint jobs, color schemes, accessories and other pack-ins. We have striven to list all these variants on this page under their respective series; for a quick-reference list of all variants and releases [[#Notes|check here]]. The cab robot has also been used sparingly to represent different characters; outfitted with different trailers, it has become Generation 1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Pepsi Convoy]].

: A limited edition version of the Optimus Prime toy was sold as a mail-away exclusive by [[Pepsi|PepsiCo]] in North America in 1985. This version of the figure came with a small fold-out leaflet glued to the top-right of the packaging, which contained two Pepsi logo stickers for the buyer to attach to Prime, mid-way through the traditional silver-and-blue stripe on his trailer. [[Canada]] also got a version of this promotional figure, but with much larger stickers that were the full length and height of the trailer.

: This promotion would go on to serve as the inspiration for the Japanese character of [[Pepsi Convoy]], who would in turn be released by Hasbro as a new "[[#PepsiPrime2007|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]" in 2007.

: Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original Optimus Prime figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue, though his chestplate, which was rendered white in his package art followed a more the blue color scheme of his shoulders. He transforms into a Freightliner COE, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his [[robot mode]]s to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

: The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Additionally, three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus—released as part of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Toys 2|Scramble City]]'' sub-line—''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was soon replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head. In addition, the clear yellow plastic that formed his windows was removed from the cab, leaving just holes instead; and his thighs and fuel tanks were left white, as opposed to the vacuum metalized chrome ones of the original release.

:The small robot component, as well as being part of Optimus Prime, was also released with a different trailer as [[Pepsi Convoy]].

:*''Accessories:'' Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 [[laser rifle]]s, 2 twin [[particle beam cannon]]s, super robot head
{{toydesigner|[[Richard Marcej]] (packaging)}}

: Sold in the fifth year of the Hasbro US ''Transformers'' line (fourth in European markets), Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first new toy of the Autobot leader since the original toy's release in 1984. He is an all-new design, featuring the [[Powermaster]] gimmick: His partner figure, [[Hi-Q#Toys|Hi-Q]], must be transformed into an engine and attached to Prime's vehicle mode in order to enable the transformation into robot mode.

: Like the original figure, Powermaster Prime is composed of two major components: his truck cab, which transforms into Prime himself, and his trailer, which is essentially a heavily-armed version of the original. The trailer has a fold-down ramp to allow the storage of a smaller Transformer, or perhaps spare accessories. The trailer transforms into a battle station armed with two long black rifles and two grey double-barreled cannons (featuring seating for Powermaster engine figures), all of which Optimus Prime can also wield in his fists.

: Aside from the Powermaster feature itself, the main [[gimmick]] of the toy is the ability of the truck cab to combine with the trailer to form the larger "Super Optimus Prime" figure. This is essentially accomplished by standing the trailer up, folding the cab in half and inserting it into the empty cavity in the trailer's torso, forming an imposing—if almost entirely unposeable—robot form armed with all four weapons. The head of this super robot form is a separate piece which can be stored in the rear of Prime's trailer when not in use. While Hi-Q was always shown plugged into Prime's chest in artwork of this mode (as seen in the picture here), this was actually entirely unnecessary as transforming into Super Optimus Prime didn't require the standard Prime toy's legs to be unlocked.

:The Japanese release of Powermaster Optimus Prime actually represented a new character named [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], and featured several retools: the cab featured die-cast metal, shortened smokestacks, vacuum-metalized plastic and clear blue windows, while the trailer was given retractable super robot fists. This Japanese version was eventually issued by Hasbro in 2003 as part of the [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] collection ([[#Commemorative Series|see below]]).

:This toy was later redecoed into the Japanese-exclusive Super Convoy.

:There were several different prototypes made for this toy. [[#Powermaster Optimus Prime design history|See a list here]].

: Sold in the seventh and final year of the original line (sixth and not-final in Europe), [[Action Master#Toys|Action Master]] Optimus Prime is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure closely based on his [[character model]], albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based largely on the cab robot of his Powermaster body. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus limited ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s. Curiously, Optimus also has a 3mm hole directly above the 5mm one, an extra feature only found on [[Shockwave (G1)|one other]] Action Master. In Optimus' case, it's likely [[:File:AM Helmet Weapons.jpg|a leftover from an aborted gimmick]] for which the figure was a test case.

: The toy shown in the Action Masters commercial shows gray paint operations on Prime's upper legs that the final toy lacks.

: He was only available with the "[[Armored Convoy#Toys|Armored Convoy]]", a large, heavily armed tractor trailer, and the largest Action Master vehicle set offered.

: The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more [[Show-accuracy|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 in white and transparent green as the ''[[Microman]]: [[Microman#Micro Millennium (1998-2000)|LED Powers]]'' toy [[Microman#MicroTrailer|Micro Trailer]] – sans Optimus Prime, natch – which also received two separate [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] toys as the transparent black [[Microman#DarkTrailer|Dark Trailer]] and transparent red [[Microman#FlameTrailer|Flame Trailer]].

:This straight reissue of the original Optimus Prime figure was released in Hasbro's European markets in the early 1990s, at the same time as many other Generation 1 figures were being re-released as "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Oddly, although he shares their golden packaging, Prime is not actually ''identified'' as a "Classics" figure anywhere on his box, but is generally considered to be part of the sub-line for simplicity's sake.

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the Japanese ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1991 (Return of Convoy)|Return of Convoy]]'' part of the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|original Takara ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' toyline]], and the final new-design Optimus Prime toy from the original Generation 1 era, Star Convoy was a significant departure from previous versions. This incarnation of Prime transforms into an extended-hood cab truck of made-up model pulling an implausibly large trailer, incorporating the motorized "Microcarrier". [[Motorized movement|Powered by four AA batteries]], the Microcarrier drives Star Convoy either forward or backward, spinning a radar dish mounted on the rear of his trailer as he rolls along. Prime's teammate in the [[Battlestars]], [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]], can link up to the rear of Star Convoy's vehicle mode and be pulled along behind him; [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] can then land atop Grandus, forming a giant vehicle.

: Unlike previous Optimus Prime toys, the cab section does not separate from the trailer for transformation, instead forming the arms of his imposing 12-inch tall robot mode. He lacks any sort of leg articulation in this mode, but the Microcarrier comes into play again, allowing Prime to roll either forward or backward into action.

: Additionally, Star Convoy transforms into a large battle station that interacts with the [[Micromaster]]s that made up the vast majority of the ''Transformer'' toyline at the time. His chest contains a peg that allows Micromaster figures to stand inside it in either robot or base modes, and he comes with a unique Micromaster version of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Hot Rod]] not available on its own. He features storage space in his legs for two spring-loaded figure-launching [[Micro Trailer]]s, and comes with one of his own, decorated in a unique black and orange color scheme. In this mode, two ramps are connected to the Microcarrier; when the carrier's treads are set rolling, they do not move the base, but instead act as conveyor belts that carry Micromaster figures down the ramps. The Microcarrier also spins a gun turret mounted between the conveyors, on which Micromaster figures can stand. Finally, a special connector packaged with Star Convoy allows the Microcarrier to be connected up to Grandus's base mode, powering his moving elevator.

: On an odd note, despite being best known as a Japanese exclusive, Star Convoy was also released across several stores in [[Portugal]] during the early nineties: most notably amongst these being Jumbo (now rebranded into Auchan since the 2010s), one of the country's largest hypermarket chains.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/heIhoys Translated screenshot of a 2021 thread] from Facebook group ''Transformers Portugal'' (link to original thread [https://www.facebook.com/groups/256309611187146?multi_permalinks=1808935782591180 here]) where multiple users discuss having found Star Convoy on Portuguese retail during the 90s.</ref> Weirdly, he came in his original Takara packaging - thus retaining all the Japanese text that was eventually illegible to most Portuguese consumers - which suggests that he was most likely a direct import from the original batch of figures rather than a localized version like [[GiG]]'s [[Galaxy Shuttle]]. It is unknown exactly what circumstances led to this one Japanese figure reaching widespread retail in a single European country, but as a result, he tends to pop up surprisingly often on the Portuguese secondary market.

:Star Convoy was reissued by Takara in 2005, with some notable alterations to his deco: his white plastic was replaced with metallic silver, and the yellow star on his chest was chromed golden. Star Convoy himself retained some of his original decals, but most notably his "simulated head lights" and "wind shield panels" were tampographed on him; similarly, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#StarConvoyReissue|Hot Rod]]'s stickers were all replaced with tampograph deco. Additionally, where the original toy had been packaged in robot mode in a tall box decorated with the standard Japanese package art of the time, the reissue was packaged in vehicle mode, in a long, wide box more reminiscent of the original Generation 1 toys.

:*''Accessories'': "Laser blaster", left & right fists, light & sound module, 2 rocket launchers, 4 rockets, "Roller" scout car, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, trailer, 4 missiles

: Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, this Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the original figure release with some notable new additions to catch him up to the radical 1990s. While his cab robot retained his original red and dark blue color scheme, his trailer was recast in black, with the original blue and silver striped sticker replaced with a red and silver one displaying Optimus's name. On the first release of the trailer, the internal components and Roller matched the blue of the cab robot. Later, the internal components and Roller were changed to a lighter blue. Another ''second'' running change followed, making the dark blue of the cab robot match this lighter shade. A bright yellow "Autobot" [[tampograph]] was also added to the back of his right leg, present in all versions of the toy.

: ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime comes with all his original accessories and play features... yes, even the [[for safety reasons|severely-weakened]] missile launchers on the Combat Deck, the only recycled toy in ''Generation 2'' to retain the old launching mechanisms. But Optimus also has two major new play features. To increase his arsenal, Optimus is now armed with a pair of large, black handheld missile launchers that fire red missiles. These launchers were retooled from the 1992 ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' figure [http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/barricade.shtml Barricade].

: Second, he comes with an electronic "sound and lights module" that can either plug into the front of the trailer (where it resembles a trailer refrigeration unit), or hook onto Optimus's back in [[robot mode]] via a new slot retooled into the cab robot. Unfortunately, the soundbox is heavy enough that doing so can often overpower Prime's hip joints, causing him to topple backward. The soundbox features a large, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] Autobot symbol on its front, and three grey buttons which trigger two flashing red LEDs on either side of the module, and [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/c/c6/G2OptimusNoises.ogg a trio of sound effects]: a truck engine noise, a laser gun sound effect, and a very loud "I am Optimus Prime!". The module also features ports on either side into which the missile launchers can peg. How the sound module handles batteries is an oddity among Transformers before or since: as Optimus came out during a transitional period where button cell batteries were still fairly expensive, the module uses AA batteries by default, but was originally packed with a small bracket for included LR44 batteries that overrides the AA compartment completely to support the "Try Me!" feature in the box. The original intent is to discard the bracket once the LR44s run out and switch to several AA batteries, but if one were to keep it, the electronics can work equally well solely off far fewer button cell batteries.

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Released in the second year of ''Generation 2'', [[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Optimus Prime was the first new-mold Optimus Prime toy created for the ''Generation 2'' line. He transforms into a long-nose Volvo N12 truck and trailer. The trailer has a permanently-attached massive rocket launcher powered by an air bellows: slide one of his rockets over the barrel, then slam down on the bellows to launch the rocket. The launcher also features a [[5 mm post]] to attach a smaller rifle. The rockets and bellows all clip neatly onto the trailer as well.

: In robot mode, the launcher remains permanently affixed to Optimus's right arm, and retains its functionality. The air bellows and rockets mount on his back. This was also one of the first ''Transformers'' toys to feature expanded [[articulation]] in robot mode, though they hadn't really perfected the formula so soon and he ends up fairly back-heavy and heel-strut-needing.

: A similar air-launching system with identical missiles was used by the simultaneously-released [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Hero|Hero Megatron]], and by Laser Optimus Prime the following year (see below).

: This mold was also used to create [[Sureshot (G2)#Toys|Sureshot]] and the [[KB Toys]]-exclusive [[Destructicon (RID)|Destructicon]] [[Scourge (RID)#Destructicon|Scourge]].

: Released in the final year of ''Generation 2'', Laser Optimus Prime (released in Europe under the name "Laser Rod Optimus Prime") transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The sides of the trailer are decorated with a sticker depicting Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a banner with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" on it. The truck is armed with a disc launcher on the roof of its trailer, which launches five blue discs bearing the ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignia as a knob is turned. Like the other "[[Laser Rod|Laser]]" toys released this year, Prime features electronics powered by two button-cell batteries; in truck mode, pressing the button on the cab's roof causes his headlight to light up with yellow LEDs.

: In the grand Optimus tradition, the cab of Laser Optimus Prime disconnects to become the highly poseable robot mode of Prime himself. Like Powermaster Prime and Hero Prime, the toy features the iconic windshield pecs and grill abs, despite not actually being formed from the actual truck components they emulate. In robot mode, pressing the button on Prime's cab (now on his back) activates a red LED in his right fist which illuminates his clear-plastic sword (which stores beneath his legs in truck mode).

: Prime's trailer unfolds via a spring-loaded transformation mechanism in a battle station that is positively ''bristling'' with varied weaponry. In addition to the disc launcher, it is armed with a "ripple-fire" missile launcher that fires five missiles, an air-powered rocket launcher like the one previously seen on Hero Optimus Prime, and a small laser cannon that mounts on the base's main tower. Both the missile launcher and laser cannon can disconnect and be held by Prime; his LED-fist will illuminate the laser cannon like it does his sword. Additional missiles and a second rocket are stored in grooves inside the sides of the trailer.

: This mold was redecoed by Takara in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)#Toys|Black Convoy]], and later by Hasbro as Black Convoy's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] counterpart Scourge. It was also used to make the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]]. It was planned to be used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)#Toys|Toxitron]], but that was canceled.

: In addition to being possibly the most popular ''Generation 2'' figure, Laser Optimus Prime was, prior to 2003, a regular contender for most popular ''Transformers'' toy ''ever'', back in the days of the annual [[alt.toys.transformers]] fan awards; the toy won twice, and actually lost once to his redeco, Scourge.

: Part of the second wave of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s, this Optimus is a redeco of [[Firecracker#Toys|Firecracker]], transforming into a ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]''-sized 1:64-scale Lamborghini Diablo. Like most Go-Bots, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly, and is broadly compatible with ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox'' style tracks and playsets.

: The plastic colors are a "solid" version of Firecracker's color layout, substituting opaque red for transparent red plastic, but also adding blue paint to his helmet for that little extra touch of Optimus. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; [[Blowout (G2)#Toys|Blowout]] and Firecracker became new versions of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]] and Optimus Prime respectively, while [[Gearhead#Toys|Gearhead]] and [[Motormouth (G2)#Toys|Motormouth]] stayed themselves.)

His hood was tampographed with a stylized "T" with the ''Transformers'' logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Soundwave]], as well as the Japanese release of Go-Bots [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]]. On top of that, his yellow plastics are now the same bright fluorescent yellow as found on Soundwave, thanks to the [[gang-molding]] process used to make this batch. He keeps the blue helmet though. These three toys were sold on cards that were nigh-identical to the Hasbro cards on the front, rather than the usual ''G-2'' style packaging, with only a small bit of Japanese text on the front in the logo. The back side is stylistically close to the ''Generation 2'' packaging, but a "generic" cardback used for all three toys and entirely in Japanese. It's unclear why these toys were released this way; it's possible these were sold in convenience stores or some other similar outlet rather than in conventional toy stores/departments; these toys do not appear on the normal ''G-2'' catalogs either. Even more oddly, the Optimus shown on the cross-sell is actually a [[Sideswipe (G1)#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]] with the car panels hand-painted red, and lacks the "T" on the hood... and yes, he's labeled "Optimus Prime" in Japanese as well, making this the first instance of the character ''not'' being named "Convoy" in Japan.

: The sculpt was later redecoed again for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]], and later still into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spychanger]] [[R.E.V.]].

: This Optimus Prime was to be a redeco of Hero Optimus Prime (above) in dark blue and red. Packaged samples of this toy were produced, but it was ultimately never released. The packaged samples feature a "traditional" color scheme for the head, with a silver [[mouthplate]]; the prototype depicted in the official catalog image seen on the right sports an unusual ''red'' mouthplate, which inspired several later toys.

: Since much of the advertising for the ultimately-unreleased redeco used an older, outdated name for the "Heroes" assortment, "Combat Heroes", Optimus and an equally unreleased redeco of "Hero" Megatron are commonly referred to by fans as "Combat Heroes" compared to the original "Heroes" releases, although all evidence suggests that Hasbro had never actually intended such a distinction, instead treating them as mere color [[variant]]s. Though the packaging is mostly unchanged (including a reuse of the existing packaging art depicting the original release's color scheme), one of the few minor alterations sees the addition of the name "Hero" (rather than "Combat Hero") to Optimus Prime's name above the (otherwise unchanged) UPC barcode.

: A finished sample of the Hero Optimus Prime redeco was among the rare toys auctioned off for charity at [[BotCon 1996]], along with several other unreleased ''Generation 2'' items.

Although there isn't a clear consensus from collectors and no statement from Hasbro on this matter as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, we have nonetheless chosen to cover them here for the sake of archival and posterity.}}
[[File:ToonTown-DiaclonePrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hi, I'm originally a bootleg who might or might also not be a bootleg still! [[Completist|Buy me!]]]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a2|'''Battle Supplier''' (1997)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Rifle, left & right fists, Roller

: An oddball South Korean-exclusive provided by company ToonTown with the ''presumably'' legitimate copyright of Hasbro International, the nameless 'Battle Supplier' - per his packaging description - is actually nothing less than a repackaging of an old, likely Taiwanese-made [[knockoff]] of ''[[Diaclone]]'' Battle Convoy. Copies of these bootlegs have been reported since the mid-80s (a handful of [[Italy|Italian]] companies like Globo distributed them as back as far as 1987 <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/247808869499189/?multi_permalinks=374158430197565 A listing for the Globo-branded Generation 1 Optimus Prime knockoff, with the (Italy-based) seller explicitly referring to it as an import]</ref>), but if his copyright date is correct then it would only be in 1997 when this specific release would land on Korean stores.

: This figure features quite a few alterations from its original Diaclone tooling; like the truck windshield not being split in half, the left smokestack being replaced by a ladder, and the rifle being based on that of ''Dorvack'' Jeeps (AKA the later Generation 1 [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]]). He also lacks the Auto-Launcher in his Combat Deck, as well as his other accessories. His color scheme is also odd, with his red being less vibrant than the original and his legs and feet having two very obviously distinct shades of blue. A similar version to this release with nearly-identical packaging but translated into English also showed up in Canada during 1998, but this time bearing the name "Battle Supbot" without the Transformers logo and without any mention of Hasbro licensing.<ref>[https://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Knockoffs/G2/OptimusPrime1.html "Battle Supbot"] on toyarchive.com</ref> Some traits for his packaging design have also been seen on other bootlegs of Taiwanese origin.

: Considering the amount of times we've mentioned "bootleg" on this entry, it should go without saying that the authenticity of this mold as a genuine ''Transformers'' product is often disputed: more about this conundrum [[ToonTown|can be read on ToonTown's page]], but in short; despite his knockoff origins, this release is one of many toys distributed by the aforementioned company presumably under the licensing of Hasbro, and to this day there still isn't a consensus as to whether they ''actually'' legitimately did or did not have that license. Surprisingly, it isn't unseen in the ''Transformers'' brand [[Best Join|for a bootleg]] to be sold as an [[Radio AM Robot|official toy]], but this "Battle Supplier", more than any other ToonTown release, is on such a blatant level of sketchiness that it invites extra skepticism. Maybe not a red flag, but dark orange. Perhaps someday Hasbro will provide us with answers!

:*''Accessories'': Laser blaster, left & right fists, light & sound module, 2 rocket launchers, 4 rockets, "Roller" scout car, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, trailer, 4 missiles

: Another South Korean ToonTown release with presumably official Hasbro co-branding, albeit one that oozes a more legitimate aura compared to the previous entry, this version of Optimus Prime - now adequately named - was actually manufactured under ToonTown's licensing by a different company called LALA Industry Co., which also produced a handful of ''Generation 2'' merchandise during this time. He's a fairly high-quality and accurate copy of his first 1992 ''Generation 2'' toy, bearing an all-new deco in black and white with red accents (that's surprisingly similar to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#CollabGB|a later Optimus Prime release]]), with his trailer and Roller also receiving a new dose of yellow to boot. His soundbox works, but now makes laser gun sounds rather than the infamous "I am Optimus Prime" voiceline - perhaps a change for the better, all things considered. And... He's also massively upscaled, with estimates suggesting that he's about 50% bigger than the original toy.

: As with the previous release, it is still up in the air whether or not this is an official toy. Considering that LALA seemed to be a more reputable company in general (they even had enough of a budget to run toy commercials advertising their ''Transformers'' merchandise during the 90s!) and that he features markings on the packaging seemingly promoting a national TV run of the ''Generation 2'' cartoon, the legitimacy of this Optimus Prime seems significantly more believable, but for lack of official Hasbro comment we cannot know with absolute certainty.

==''Beast Wars''==
{{Note|Very early in the life of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline (before the debut of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon), Hasbro treated the series as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and so Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime.}}

{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] is a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. It was packaged along with an alligator version of Megatron and a ''Beast Wars'' mini-comic.

:This figure was released during the short-lived period when Hasbro was treating the Beast Wars as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was also used to make the less ambiguous [[#AmazonConvobat|Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat]], the separate individual [[Convobat#Toys|Convobat]], [[Onyx Primal#Toys|Onyx Primal]] as well as inspire the comic character [[Nyx]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 "spinal swords", 4 "mega-blast missiles", "mace whip"
{{toydesigner|[[Yuichiro Hira]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped "mace whip" he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled "mega-blast missile" launcher. On his back were two more spring-loaded "mega-blast missile cannons"/launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:Just like Optimus Primal's basic bat toy, this figure was released during the short-lived period when the Beast Wars was still considered to be an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''[[TV Magazine]]'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''TV Magazine'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), and blue-fur (a ''[[Comic BomBom]]'' design-contest prize, only five awarded).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, 2 missiles

: Available only at [[KB Toys]], ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of the European Generation 1 exclusive [[Turbomaster]] leader [[Thunder Clash#Toys|Thunder Clash]]. It's easy to see why Thunder Clash was chosen to become the new Optimus Prime, given his adherence to Prime tradition: the truck cab disconnects to become the robot, while the trailer unfolds to become an assault tower with twin missile racks. On the original Thunder Clash version of the mold, the racks operated on a gravity-feed system where a new missile drops into the launcher from above each time one was fired, allowing for twelve to be fired in rapid succession using a pinball launcher style mechanism.
:For ''Machine Wars'' Prime, this feature had to be retooled [[for safety reasons]], sealing the gravity feed slot and cutting the original launcher plungers down to just the handles, which do not move. The small missiles were replaced with much larger new molds to prevent choking hazards and triggers were added to the sides of the launchers, becoming regular spring loaded (and unusually powerful) single-firing weapons. There seems to have been some disconnect between the deco artist and whoever handled the redone Thunder Clash [[sticker]]s, as some stickers replicate details already handled by paint on the figure. Not noted in the instructions is that the handgun is meant to serve as the drive shaft for the cab, storing between the legs on the backside. On a minor note, the redeco eliminates all [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|gold plastic]] from the toy, making it much more durable than Thunder Clash's original release.

: The [[package art]] for this toy is a retouched version of the art for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime (see above), but now positioned so one robot arm is always "off the edge" of the box and unseen - conveniently hiding the sword this toy has never had, yet leaving the Laser Prime faceplate intact.

: This version of the mold was planned to be [[redeco]]ed into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but the release was canceled.

:The first reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a Toys"R"Us exclusive. It was ''mostly'' identical to the original figure, save for some necessary modifications made [[for safety reasons]]. In the first instance of what would become a recognizable alteration to the mold, the toy's smokestacks were shortened. The Combat Deck's firing missiles were elongated to prevent potential choking, as was the case with all other Commemorative Series figures' firing missiles, and now plug into the Combat Deck via a "keyed" locking tab mechanism that reissues of the original figure continue to use to this day. This release also had the trailer's launching feature removed.

:In 2012, a reissue of the Commemorative Series toy was released. Though the "Commemorative Series" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name. The toy itself is a mix of different versions. The cab has the safety modifications of the original ''Commemorative Series'' release, including the shortened smokestacks and longer missiles (and thicker rifle), but also has the modified hitch of the 2011 ''Chronicle'' two-pack (see below). Meanwhile, the trailer features the lighter gray plastic colors used for the 2008 ''Universe'' release, and the Autobot insignias on the robot's shoulders are tampographed (like on Takara's ''Encore'' version and Hasbro's ''Universe'' 25th Anniversary release). This version also seems to suffer from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]].

:Marketed as a reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, this Toys"R"Us-exclusive Commemorative Series figure is in truth based on the Ginrai tooling on the toy that had previously been exclusive to Japan.

As with all other Commemorative Series figures, Prime's new spring-loaded missile launcher featured an elongated missile.

:The figure was re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets in 2012, with no known changes to the figure itself but several modifications to the packaging that makes it easy to tell the two releases apart: The flap containing the [[package art]] is omitted entirely, the "Commemorative Series II" label is missing, the age recommendation and safety warning labels, the "Changes from double tractor trailer to battle station to super robot!" call-out and the name of the toy have all been shuffled around (with the words "battle" and "super" being omitted in the process), and most notably, the toy is no longer named "Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor", but simply "Optimus Prime", with Apex Bomber's existence no longer acknowledged anywhere on the packaging.

:At about 2/3 the size of the ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'', this diminutive version of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is the smallest figure of the Autobot leader made to date. It was sold as part of Takara's blindpacked ''[[Mini Toy Shop Collection]]'' line, a series of miniaturized figures from numerous classic Takara toylines, including ''Transformers'', ''[[Microman]]'', ''[[Licca Kayama|Licca-chan]]'', ''[[Choro-Q]]'' and others. Both of Prime's modes are represented by non-transforming individual figures, which come together in a two-pack. In-box, his truck form is even packed in a miniature recreation of his original Japanese packaging, which also includes a shrunken version of his sticker sheet. A tiny version of the original Takara Transformers catalog completes the set.

{{toydesigner|[[Aaron Archer]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

:''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime was produced for the stated milestone of the ''Transformers'' brand. So successful was the figure that ''ToyFare'' magazine ultimately ranked it #1 in their quest for "Best Toy Ever".<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/000054376.cfm ToyFare Magazine Best Toys Ever]</ref>

:Created with the specific purpose of producing an Optimus Prime as accurate to the original animated series as possible, the toy is exceptionally poseable compared to toys prior, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving [[mouthplate]] to emulate Prime's traditional method of speech, flip-up communications panels on the forearms depicting images of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], and an opening, light-up Matrix chamber in the chest, which contains a removable vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership that can also be pulled open. The Matrix is housed within a removable gray battery box which can light up the matrix core when activated.

:Optimus Prime comes with many accessories in addition to the aforementioned Matrix, including the character's traditional laser rifle, now termed (and henceforth known as) an [[ion blaster]]. The initial release of the figure cast the ion blaster in grey plastic, but later assortments recast it in its more familiar black coloration. Other accessories include a transparent orange energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when Prime's fist is retracted, and even a non-transforming gun mode Megatron weapon, with removable stock, silencer, and scope accessories, in homage to [[Countdown to Extinction (episode)|several]] [[The Insecticon Syndrome|instances]] in the Generation 1 cartoon when Prime was forced to wield his enemy. Pack-in bonuses that came with the figure included an inner cardboard tray illustrated to resemble the interior of Prime's Combat Deck, and in later releases, a small poster drawn by [[Pat Lee]].

:Optimus has a hidden sculpted mouth underneath his face mask, though attempts at removing the mask from the head may entirely damage the action feature.

:Takara's version of the figure was released in their markets slightly earlier, as the first of their long-running ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. In addition to coming with a cardboard trailer that the buyer could assemble to "complete" Prime's truck mode, Takara's release differed from Hasbro's by featuring longer smokestacks (kept short on the Hasbro version [[for safety reasons]]), and lacking the black scorch-marked "battle damage" paint applications Hasbro included on the figure's shoulders, wrists, and abdomen. In Western markets, the figure was intended to complement the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt Steve-o's OTFCC 2004 notes]</ref>

:This sculpt was redecoed by Takara into a golden Lucky Draw figure and later released in its original coloration with a trailer as a "Perfect Edition" (see below for both), while Hasbro would later redeco it into their ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-branded "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics 20th DVD Anniversary Collection|20th Anniversary DVD Edition]]". The mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and "[[Eldedroid|Convoy Black Version]]", representing one of many drones built in Prime's image, rather than Prime himself.

:In ''[[Transformers History Collection]]'', a [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] Transformers trading figure line, Takara released an add-on hand for ''Masterpiece'' Convoy as a [[Chase figure]]. The hand holds a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] figure and clips on to the end of Optimus Prime's arm, making the arm slightly longer than normal.

:Offered as part of a Lucky Draw campaign in August 2004, this extremely rare version of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is almost entirely vacuum-metalized gold, lacking any other painted detail or stickers. The parts which are not viable are molded in a flat golden plastic; the only exceptions are its rubber tires, the core of the Matrix and the energon-axe, which remain black, blue and orange, respectively. Whether or not the figure was intended to evoke Optimus Prime's [[:File:Goldenlagoon prime perceptor.jpg|entirely-golden appearance]] in the cartoon episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", when he was coated with [[electrum]], is unknown; given that entirely chroming a figure gold is a fairly standard deco for Lucky Draw figures, it may just be happy coincidence more than anything else.

:The figure comes packaged in the standard ''Masterpiece'' Convoy box, with the only telltale sign of its fabled contents being the replacement of the traditionally silver foil lettering on the box with gold. It's not clear how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than 10 or 20.

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:For this re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy, Takara submitted to the biggest desire fans had for the figure and produced a full-size, fully transforming plastic and die-cast metal trailer. The trailer opens up into Convoy's Combat Deck, with storage for its accessories and a functional repair drone, though Roller is conspicuous by its absence. Like the original Combat Deck, the drone can extend through holes in the roof and front of the closed trailer, and the interior has enough room to accommodate one ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' figure in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Some reports suggest that the paint on this figure's chest chips more easily than past editions. The red paint on the cab is also a slightly lighter color than on MP01.

:This version of Convoy, and Hasbro's 20th Anniversary DVD version of the toy depicts [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on its communicators rather than Bumblebee and Starscream.

:Continuating the trend begun by their previous release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus in 2005, Hasbro [[Australia]] released Convoy Perfect Edition as a Target Australia [[exclusive]] in 2008. Takara themselves then made the figure available for a second time in October 2009.

:Released by TakaraTomy as part of their ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#TakaraTomy Welcome to Transformers 2010 campaign|Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' anniversary line honoring the "future era" of the original cartoon (which was set in 2010 in Japanese continuity, you see!), this exceptionally morbid re-release of the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy figure recolors the Autobot leader in <s>blacks and greys</s> ''very'' low-saturated reds and blues, representing ''his dead body'' from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''—but don't worry, kids, it's actually a "sleep mode", according to the figure's name! Limited to 2010 pieces in Japan (see what they did there?), it comes with all its customary accessories, including the Perfect Edition trailer, redecoed where appropriate: the trailer itself has become translucent, its energon-axe is now transparent grey, and Megatron, in another movie homage, is rendered in translucent purple, evoking the scene depicting his transformation into [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]. The figure was also released in other parts of Asia as a limited edition of 2010 as well, combined with the Japanese edition for 4020 total. The Japanese version denotes "Serial Number in Japan: ####/2010" on its bio card with the number out of 2010, while the Asian version denotes "C1 - ####/2010" with the number out of 2010 on its bio card.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-1L'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, sound stage

:"Convoy Last Production" was the final re-use of the ''Masterpiece'' toy mold before it was at last retired after numerous re-releases and redecos. The figure is essentially identical to the original Japanese MP-1 release, aside from a slightly brighter red, and the addition of the words "LAST SHOT" in Transformers typeface molded into the small of Convoy's back, hidden beneath its headlight-flaps in [[robot mode]]. Lacking the trailer of MP-4, the figure instead comes with a redecoed version of the electronic base included with Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]" of the figure from five years prior, which now features a collection of sixteen soundbytes of Convoy delivering famous lines from the Japanese version of the Generation 1 cartoon, recited by the character's original Japanese voice actor [[Tesshō Genda]]. The base was promoted as containing a hint as to the identity of the next ''Masterpiece'' toy; as it would turn out, this was a new version of Convoy himself (see below), foreshadowed by a sound clip on the base which played only intermittently, and which had Convoy announce that he would "soon be reborn".

:For its release in Korea, Hasbro Asia provided a [[collector coin]] featuring truck-mode Optimus Prime on one side and "MP-01L" on the other. The coin came mounted on a card featuring lineart of the Autobot leader's head, the stark black design of which could be mistaken for promoting the earlier "Sleep Mode" release. The limited release (and general lack of enthusiasm for the collector coins in Korea) makes this one of the more difficult Masterpiece coins to find.

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Junichi Akutsu]] (concept artist)}}

:MP-10 Convoy, advertised as a "perfect new model" on its packaging, is an entirely new tooling of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Convoy is now smaller, making him more in-scale with other recent ''Masterpiece'' toys, such as [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus]], and comes with a trailer and various accessories. While the front of the vehicle mode's cab is an accurate depiction of a mid-to-late-1980s Freightliner FLT cabover, the back half, (which is, as usual, made out of Convoy's legs) is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion. (So much that they sculpt a ladder on each side.)

:Many of the small features and electronics of the original ''Masterpiece'' mold are left out. Instead, this Convoy features better overall cartoon accuracy (chest interior, head, etc.), an extensive red paint job that covers much of his red plastic, corrected robot mode proportions, improved articulation, and its gun can now collapse and store inside a compartment on its back in either mode. In addition to Convoy's trailer, which can transform into Combat Deck, it also comes with Roller, a small Spike Witwicky figurine, a die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership (with a clear blue plastic center), and an energy axe that slips over Convoy's right hand. Spike can fit inside the cab in vehicle mode, ride in Roller's seat, or fit into any of the seating compartments inside Convoy's trailer. Roller has options to plug in Convoy's gun or pull Convoy's trailer, and the trailer itself can store Convoy's weapons in any mode. Although not easily breakable, care must be taken for posing the index fingers; extending the finger even far would cause it to pop off.

:MP-10 immediately became the gold standard in terms of scale for the Masterpiece line, with all subsequent releases being sized to best match him for nearly a decade.

:The trailer from this mold can be towed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|MPM-04 Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 8|Legendary Optimus Prime]] though this feature is undocumented on these toys.

:This figure was re-released in 2016, with the packaging now advertising the "Long Life Design" award which the ''Masterpiece'' line won that same year.<ref name="lldaward">[https://www.g-mark.org/award/describe/44648 Good Design Long Life Award: Transformers Masterpiece]</ref> This mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-10B Black Convoy]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

:An entirely new mold released to commemorate the brand's 35th anniversary, ''Masterpiece'' "Convoy Ver.3.0" is a much more complex and cartoon-accurate figure than previous releases. At 50,000 yen (approximately $450 USD), this Convoy had the highest MSRP of any mass-market ''Transformers'' toy until ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron|Unicron]]'s $575 price tag was announced.

:Alongside the Trailer (which retains the same function and can hold 4 standard-sized Autobot cars at a time when open), Roller, the Ion Blaster, Matrix of Leadership, and Energon Axe, the Combat Deck's base can be removed and with the new flip-out wheels, Roller (now cast in stark grey with silver rims) can tow it around. The cannon and arm section can also be removed so it can function as a flight stand, while an adapter for [[Dinobot (BW)#Masterpiece|MP-41 Dinobot]]'s display stand is also included, and the Ion Blaster now has 2 effect parts, which can simulate blaster fire and when used with the Sideswipe rocket pack included, can be used as booster flames. He also comes with a fuel hose like that on the original figure, as well as a soundbox feature that can be switched between recorded lines by the character's original Japanese ([[Tesshō Genda]]) and English ([[Peter Cullen]]) voice actors, with transformation effects (though the ascending and descending transformation sounds are spliced together in his English voice) and Douglas Walsh music to boot! As to note, Cullen's clips are closer to the recent [[Aligned]] portrayals.

:Like [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP36|MP-36 Megatron]], Convoy includes a battle-damaged head and an abdomen cover to replicate the war wounds in the climatic battle in the movie, and alongside a newly designed figure of Spike, he comes with two of Sparkplug and Carly, any of them capable of riding inside via 2 small doors on the side of the cab. A second alternate head is based on his head's rounder design seen in the first season of the cartoon and the Marvel Comics. His accessories can be stored in the trailer's removable undercarriage.

:This figure, with the included intakes and alternate head in place, also doubles as [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP44|Starscream]] from "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]".

:Unfortunately, Convoy has been known to suffer from differing quality control issues. Because of a design flaw, certain plastic parts in his lower ratcheted knee joints tend to build stress during movement and eventually break. Furthermore, grey and yellow paint in parts that tend to get scratched and bumped during transformation have been prone to paint chipping. Some units have come with their [[For safety reasons|soft plastic]] ear antennas on different heads warped in-package. The human minifigures can have their ball-jointed limbs rather easily popping out of their sockets and misassembled (in this case, Carly with her groin part in reverse from the front).

:Unlike MP-01 and MP-10, this version of Convoy did not get a fully localized Hasbro release for English-speaking markets. However, it is being imported by Hasbro through numerous retail outlets with additional branding using the localized Optimus Prime name and presumably with the same Hasbro-branded slipcover and English safety sheet given to other contemporary ''Masterpiece'' releases. In Canada, the figure is being released as an EB Games exclusive, where he'll cost even more than the game consoles sold there! Hasbro's online product description neglects to mention the voice box gimmick, possibly due to English-speaking audiences' unfamiliarity with Japanese ''Transformers'' media and the fairly late reveal of his English-language voice clips.

:This mold was redecoed as [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Black Convoy]], with the sound gimmick removed, and without the trailer, battle damaged, and Starscream parts.

:The trailer from this mold can be towed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#MasterpieceMPM12|MPM-12 Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (One)#BraveCommander|Brave Commander Optimus Prime]], though this feature is undocumented on these toys.

:As reported by TakaraTomy's employees at [[Cybertron Con]] 2024, this Optimus has [[Shelfwarmer|sold poorly during its debut]], which stems from his complex transformation and possibly design flaws.

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}<ref>[https://www.soundwavesoblivion.com/techspecs/interviewkojinono6.html Interview on the 40th Anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand] with [[Kōjin Ōno]] in ''[[Transformers Generations 2024]]'', translated at Soundwaves Oblivion</ref>

:Released in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''Masterpiece'' MP-44S Optimus Prime is a redeco of "[[#MP44|Convoy Ver.3.0]]", featuring colors based on the [[#The Transformers|original ''The Transformers'' toy]]. Among the heaps of accessories included with the original release of Convoy, Optimus retains only his Ion Blaster (with its beam effect), Energon Axe, and the more rounded head styled after season 1 of the cartoon (here passing the squint test for the toy head). These accessories are the same as MP-49, but now includes the Transformers power base stand adapter. New for this release is a sheet of stickers to reproduce the, erm, sheet of stickers, included with ''The Transformers'' Optimus Prime. As with the previous trailer-less [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#MP49|MP-49 Black Convoy]], the soundbox has been neutered for this release.

:This redeco has noticeably different tolerance changes, with the joints being much tighter than both MP-44 and MP-49. Also unlike MP-49, the entire figure is painted albeit in a lighter, more resistive coat compared to MP-44. The "round head" was given blue eyes (a change from the promotional photos). With the adjusted tolerances in mind, the clips that hook the leg-stored cab panels into the gas tanks have been removed.

:Instead of the standard "Convoy" of Japanese releases based on older media, this toy uses the "Optimus Prime" name. It is explained as a name made popular by Hollywood movies—referring to the [[live-action film series]], which does not change character names in Japanese localization.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' toys, "G1 Convoy" (as he is amusingly referred to even in fiction) visibly takes some design cues from ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime, featuring a similar sculpt, but sharing few to none of the larger toy's other attributes.

: G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round 3 mm-compatible holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with ''Robotmasters'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Beast Convoy]]). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

: Due to being molded in translucent plastic, the waist section is prone to breakage, so exercise some caution.

**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, ion blaster, gas pump, energon-axe, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, [[jet pack|rocket pack]], 8 hands (4 left, 4 right), Autobot insignia stand
{{toydesigner|[[Shōji Kawamori]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: ''[[Hybrid Style]]'' Optimus Prime is an ''insanely'' detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a ''Transformers'' figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode.

:Prime is loaded with a ridiculous number of features and accessories. The robot itself is highly poseable, and both the smokestacks on Prime's shoulders and the fuel tanks on his legs can be rotated forward to act as guns, even featuring sculpted detail to this effect. As ever, he comes with a trailer that opens up into his crazy-detailed Combat Deck, featuring more action features than ever before. In trailer mode alone, it features a flip-down support stand so it can stand alone, a spring-loaded pop-out ramp instead of a fold-down one, and when the trailer is split for transformation, the traditional support legs underneath automatically swing out into place. The trailer houses most of Prime's accessories, including his ion blaster (with a moveable ammo clip to allow for multiple poses) and energon-axe, as well as his classic gas pump accessory, now with a poseable wire instead of a rubber hose. Two fold-out compartments provide storage space for six of Prime's interchangeable fists, while the other two remain attached the robot: two clenched, two open, a pointing right fist, a tilted left fist (for holding the ion blaster's ammo clip), and two fists with slots to grip the miniscule Matrix of Leadership that fits in a tiny chamber in Prime's chest. The Combat Deck's artillery robot features two flip-out handles that Prime can grip as if aiming the drone's guns, and Roller is also included, with three different 3 mm ports to hold Prime's gun and gas pump. Lastly, Prime comes with a rocket pack like those used by the Autobots in such Generation 1 cartoon episodes as "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1|Dinobot Island]]", and a stand shaped like the Autobot insignia that allows him to be displayed in mid-air, as if in flight. The rocket pack also has 3 mm ports for Prime's weapons, and stores on the front of the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Purchase of a ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime at a Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] store allowed the buyer the option of also purchasing the exclusive ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|Hot Rod]] toy.

:The toy also received a Hasbro release 11 years later under the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#YOTR2017|''Platinum Edition'']] line.

:Available exclusively through e-HOBBY, this black and teal repaint of ''Hybrid Style'' Convoy features the traditional "[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]" color scheme, but represents a version of Optimus Prime himself. In addition to all the original accessories, the toys also includes several more deliciously metatextual goodies, themed around the ''Generation 2'' toy and comics: two new large guns patterned after the new weapons wielded by the ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy, and two additional (blue) Prime heads that can be swapped with the figure's regular noggin, sculpted explicitly in the style of [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]] artist [[Derek Yaniger]]. One head is pristine, the other decorated to match the battle damage seen on the cover of the [[War Without End!|first ''Generation 2'' issue]].

:As the more franchise-savvy TransFans may realise, these extra parts, plus the black trailer of Convoy Black Version, can all be used to modify the original, red ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime into a comic-accurate ''Generation 2'' version, complete with a black trailer, trailer-mounted guns and your choice of Yaniger-style heads.

{{toydesigner|[[Steve Bono]] (Hasbro)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his [[robot mode]] body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

:This figure was originally conceived by Hasbro to be another character (exactly who is unknown), rather than Optimus Prime, but Takara insisted that the toy be made into Optimus to help it sell well in their markets, as the vehicle mode was no particular draw, given its scarcity in Japan. Reportedly, the figure cost twice as much as other Alternators to construct, so Hasbro had to bow to this demand so Takara would help fund it. Ironically, Takara eventually wound up soliciting the figure ''not'' as Prime, but as his ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)#Transformers: Super-God Masterforce|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] (perhaps connected to the Powermasteresque headsculpt), before its Japanese release was cancelled and moved over into the ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' toyline (see below).

: It took two further years, but this figure was eventually released as part of the Japanese counterpart to the ''Alternators'' line (''Binaltech'') in 2008. ''Binaltech'' Convoy features some additional paint details, like his silver pelvis, additional patterns on his shoulders, and red paint on his engine-gun, and like all ''Binaltech'' figures, he also includes die-cast metal pieces. Unlike previous Binaltech releases, a bio-card was not included.

:This sculpt was also used to create ''Alternators'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''Alternators'' Optimus Prime. While the figures may appear similar at first glance, given that ''Kiss Players'' Prime is still red, blue and black, there are many subtle differences, not least of all the replacement of the ''Alternators'' figure's bare, flat red plastic with a deep metallic red paint. Several of his body parts are cast in different colors of plastic (for example, his shins, formerly black, are now blue, while his formerly-blue hands are now black), and he features more intricate paint applications on his shoulders, and especially his pelvis, which is decorated to look like Prime's traditional bumper.

:In addition to the small engine-pistol of his ''Alternators'' figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the ''Kiss Players'' figures, Prime also comes with a [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|''Kiss Players'' radio drama]], as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, "[[Someday, Beneath the Sun]]."

:This set was originally intended to be released under the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line, as "Black Convoy meets Marissa", but this release was cancelled before it was officially even announced.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster]], display stand
{{toydesigner|[[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

:Released in the first wave of ''Titanium Series'' 6-inch Cybertron Heroes figures, this figure is based on Optimus Prime's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] form as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic book "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]". Prime transforms into a comic-accurate Cybertronian truck in a few steps, and his ion blaster can be slotted in the back of the truck mode cab for storage.

:The figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: the word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his silver ion blaster. The paint on the handle of his ion blaster scuffs rather easily when placed into his hands.

:As a ''Titanium'' figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. For that reason, the tiny insufficient clips that hold his shoulders in place are highly prone to breaking off, leaving his shoulders floppy and unable to be secured in robot mode. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

:Despite being mentioned in the joint [[instructions]] leaflet for the set, neither figure includes their display base.

**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist)}}

: ''Classics'' "Ultimate Battle" Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class figure and transforms into a flat-nosed truck cab. The figure is armed with a tommy gun-shaped laser rifle that transforms into a turret-like configuration and mounts on the rear of his truck mode, and features a spinning "power punch" action that sees the whole upper half of his torso spin when a button on his back is pressed. Pressing the button "unlocks" the spinning mechanism; pull ''hard'' on the button, and you can lock the torso back into place.

:In the United States, Prime was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Megatron toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]).

International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (the DVD was instead made available separately). In addition, Mexico, Singapore and some European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also received the two figures on individual cardbacks. For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and re-released in [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'']]-branded packaging later in 2007, available from Dollar General, Big Lots and [[KB Toys]], and ''again'' in [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']]-branded packaging in 2011, this time available from Dollar General and Big Bad Toy Store.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (20th Anniversary DVD Edition, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leader, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, display stand

: Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and its release on DVD by [[Sony]], this edition of Prime is a redeco of his ''[[#Masterpiece|20th Anniversary]]'' figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

:Prime comes with all the accessories of his previous release, although his ever-changing ion blaster is now somewhat confusingly cast in blue plastic. He features one major additional accessory: an electronic display base sculpted with the image of the Matrix and the Autobot insignia. Pressing the insignia's crest triggers a series of electronic soundbytes, mostly quotes from the movie recited not by original actor [[Peter Cullen]], but by Hasbro's in-house actor, [[Ron Hayden]]: "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City," "Megatron must be stopped!", "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck," and two samples of the classic [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]], one ascending, one descending.

:The display stand itself was later redecorated as a mail-in prize for Takara Tomy's "[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]" promotion, was intended to be used with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Convoy]] from "[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]", and was also redecorated in the "final production" run of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toys and as an Optimus Prime voiced stand for the Second Prize in the [[Arms Up Campaign ]].

**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, ion blaster, trailer

:Inspired by the [[#The Transformers|1985 promotional version]] of Optimus Prime that featured Pepsi stickers on his trailer, this outlandish incarnation of Prime is a slightly altered version of Takara's 2005 [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure (which represented a different character to Prime). The figure was only sold by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] at various conventions, and given away as a promotional prize by Pepsi, via their [[Mountain Dew]] brand.

:A redeco of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime cab robot sporting an egregious number of Pepsi-themed paint masks and details, Pepsi Prime's differences from Pepsi Convoy are minimal: he features the shortened smokestacks previously seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release of the mold, the blue pattern on his decals are different (matching the American Pepsi can/bottle look at the time rather than the one used in Japan), and also has a different layout for the Pepsi logo on his left shoulder. Like Pepsi Convoy, he comes with an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry either a single 500ml (16.9 oz) size [[soft drink]] bottle, three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). In a first for the Prime mold, the figure's fists store in holes on the underside of the trailer while he is in vehicle mode. His ion blaster (which also stores under the trailer) is the first Hasbro reissue to feature the original, thick-barrel sculpt, which was reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' release of Prime a few years prior.

:Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products, ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Convoy transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In [[robot mode]], he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This figure was, in fact, the ''only'' mold in the ''Sports Label'' line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create ''Sports Label'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]]''

:A redeco of the first ''Sports Label'' Convoy, this figure transforms into a white, navy, and grey sneaker.

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, but it did include the original, thick-barrelled version of Prime's rifle, as reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' version of the toy a few years prior. Both his blue and red plastics are lighter than normal, though not to the extent of Hasbro's subsequent 25th Anniversary release.

:Notably, this edition addresses the small but persistent issue of the Autobot insignias on Prime's shoulders: Ever since 1984, applying the stickers evenly had been a challenge due to small bumps the figure's shoulders are textured with. Like the [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure released two years prior, ''Encore'' Convoy replaces the stickers with [[tampograph]]s.

*'''Convoy —playing iPod speaker—''' (2007)
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/iPod dock, 2 fists (left and right), ion blaster

: Hot on the heels of their licensing deals with Pepsi and Nike, TakaraTomy got themselves a slice of Apple™ pie and released Convoy —playing [[iPod]] speaker— as part of their small, musically-themed ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' line. This version of Prime is an all-white redeco of the original Generation 1 cab robot, which (much like the "Marine Version" of Prime from the ''[[#Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' line) makes it seem like he ought to be Ultra Magnus. The figure is actually even derived from the retool of the mold created for the original Ultra Magnus figure, as distinguished by the elongated hubcap pegs on the front wheels. Like Pepsi Prime before it, the figure's fists now store in peg holes on the under side of its trailer. The toy lacks any of the original Prime's stickers (even the silver stripe on his chest is now a [[paint operation]]) and includes the original thick-barrelled version of Prime's blaster. The toy features a brand new headsculpt based on the [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] Prime figure, given additional poseability not previously seen on the figure by being mounted on a [[ball joint]].

:This, of course, is all secondary to the main draw of the figure: it pulls an all-white trailer, which transforms into a working iPod speaker dock by rotating a substantial wedge of its full length 90 degrees . The dock features three working buttons; power, volume up and volume down, as well as an Autobot sigil indicator light. Included is a wall-plugging (Japanese) A/C adaptor with a long lead that plugs into the reverse of the trailer. Although American importers shouldn't have too much trouble, those living in parts of the world using higher strength A/C current outlets should be warned NOT to simply plug the A/C adaptor in with only a socket adapter, as this will overload the device and fry it completely. Buying the appropriate kind of universal A/C adaptor with advice from an electronics specialty shop is recommended.

:Designated "Optimus Prime" rather than the traditional Japanese "Convoy", this figure is a redeco of the previous ''Music Label'' Convoy figure into the character's traditional red, blue and silver color scheme. Unlike previous re-issues of the mold, iPod Optimus Prime's sports a paint application similar to KissPlayers Convoy, having its ABS/PVC parts painted over with a thin layer of his iconic red, white (silver if you will) and blue motif paint applications (with the exception of his iPod docking trailer). This includes his trailer, though the effect is somewhat marred by the large, visible gap on one side. When reconfigured into dock mode, the interior surfaces surrounding the speakers are decorated with black-on-silver techno-patterns as well as three "Optimus Prime" logos. The recessed space also features a stylised, almost [[Frank Miller]]esque, high-contrast portrait of Prime's face, although this is largely covered when an iPod is inserted. The figure comes in identical packaging to the original ''Music Label'' Convoy, save for the addition of a sticker illustrating the different color of its contents.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Rounding out a bumper year of Japanese-[[exclusive]] Generation 1 Optimus Primes, the Takara-licensed Kawada brand ''Diablock'' Convoy is a fully transformable [[LEGO]]-style block building figure similar in premise to the earlier American ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets. The ''Diablock'' figure, however, easily outstrips the ''Built to Rule!'' sets by both being an accurate representation of the toy on which it is based, and being able to transform between modes ''without'' having to be partially disassembled and put back together first.

:Forming a roughly 11-inch figure when fully assembled, ''Diablock'' Convoy is highly articulated, save for his head, which is only able to move up and down. Said head is also by far the most stylised aspect of the figure, with no real attempt to approximate Prime's face or mouthplate, instead featuring only a reversed block that gives the odd impression of a cycloptic eye. It is possibly intended to actually represent his forehead grill, as a yellow block inside his head construction remains barely-visible through a slit in his face, possibly intended to represent the classic toy's yellow eyes.

:The figure's [[transformation scheme]] is based on the original G1 figure, the only differences being that the fists are not removed but become the headlights, and instead of flipping backwards inside the chest, ''Diablock'' Convoy's noggin flips forwards with the aid of opening chest windows. A "laser rifle" in the shape of his ion cannon can be built from black bricks, and stickers bearing the Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] can be placed on his shoulders, although this is not recommended as it is designed to permanently stick to multiple tiles which dislodge easily and may damage the sticker.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei! Transformers]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime. He features a significantly altered colour scheme, generally to make the toy more closely resemble his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon and the original toyline. His truck mode features less silver paint striping, but compensates with a [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] grill/fender area. In [[robot mode]] all of his previously grey plastic is replaced with red plastic, with a majority of it being painted silver, chromed, or painted gunmetal gray. He features a different shade of red, blue, and clear blue plastic than the Classics version.

:Sold at the rather exorbitant price of $75, this re-release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is actually one of the most visually different from the other "straight" reissues of the mold, despite Hasbro's assurance that this is the toy you had as a kid. Positively ''anemic'' in comparison with the original toy, this Prime's red parts are visibly paler than usual, while his blue parts are much lighter (although the version released at Canadian retail reportedly sports a deeper shade of red again). This shade of blue extends to both Roller (a lighter blue than his traditional dark shade, yet darker than the lightest the figure has been in its history) and the internal workings of his Combat Deck, which is itself a much flatter shade of light grey, compared to its normal dark, swirled metallic silver color. In addition, the toy features the now-customary shortened smokestacks, and the elongated missiles seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release, while the Autobot insignias on his shoulders are no longer stickers, but rather tampographs, like on Takara's ''Encore'' release. While all reissues of the Prime mold since 2003 have used the original thick-barreled mold for his ion blaster, this version includes the slender sculpt instead.

:As a 25th anniversary set, Prime includes several new pack-in bonuses: a reprint of the [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the original [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comic book]], a DVD containing all three parts of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] pilot [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|"More than Meets the Eye"]], and three desktop wallpapers, and a battery-powered Autobot symbol that plays transforming sound effects, part of the first version of the ''Transformers'' [[theme song]], and three voice clips performed by Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobot, transform and roll out!" and "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." There are some reports that the Autobot symbol could be worn out or damaged during the time of purchase.

:Outside the United States, this set was available in a thinner rectangular box. It contained all the original accessories from the American release, but not the DVD. An English-only version of this packaging format was available in Asia and Australia (initially only available at Myer stores, but later also at Toys"R"Us, Kmart and Target, eventually at drastically reduced prices), while a bilingual English/French packaging variant was available in Canada, still including—though not advertised on the packaging—the (English only) comic book.

:''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Convoy transforms into a 1:32 scale 2007 Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm. In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, this figure specifically represents the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Story of Binaltech|Optimus Prime]] of [[universal stream]] [[BT World|Primax 903.0 Beta]].

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:''Alternity'' Convoy was simultaneously available in both this silver coloration, and a deco based on his traditional appearance termed "Vibrant Red" (see below).

: Part of the sixth wave of ''Transformers'' Deluxes (the second and final wave of ''Reveal the Shield''), this Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#LaserOptimusPrime|see above]]). Transforming into an International 8200 truck, he has some influences from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus Prime]], including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic [[robot mode]] proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a [[light-piping]] effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he's part of ''Reveal the Shield'' and features a [[rubsign]], this time on the roof. He is also ''very'' articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ''and'' [[Swivel joint|hinged]].

: The original Hasbro [[Stock photography|stock photos]] depict him as having red [[paint operation]]s on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.

: Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a [[design flaw]], inferior plastic quality, or both: due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate [[5 mm post]]s, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually ''breaking'' on either location thus far.

: This toy was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#BotCon2012|Optimus Prime]] and ''Timelines'' [[Scourge (RID)#Timelines|Scourge]], and was retooled into ''Timelines/Shattered Glass'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]].

: The first toy in TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|Optimus Prime]], transforming into a Cybertronic "armored truck". He now sports a metallic red paint job, with brighter pink paint applications and cooler grey parts, and features several additional paint details to those present on the Hasbro figure in the form of black chest windows and pink lines on his face mask. His rifle transforms as well, folding and plugging into the roof of the vehicle mode. The rifle can also peg into his forearms, and, in its compact configuration, can attach to his shoulders via peg holes on the backs of his front tires or stored behind his back in [[robot mode]].

: This mold was also used to make ''United'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (United)#Toys|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

:The second Optimus Prime toy in TakaraTomy's ''United'' toyline is another redeco of the ''Classics'' multi-pack Deluxe-sized toy (the first release in Japan), this time featuring an extensive metallic red paint job on the majority of the red plastic, and he features metallic sheen on the unpaintable red plastic and his blue plastic is now brighter. While the paint masks are identical to the Special Edition release, ''United'' Optimus Prime features additional paint operations on the hip, the stomach grille, the fold-up waist panels, the lower chest piece (at least in the front), and the forehead.

:Although the stock photo (pictured from the right) shows both of his biceps painted silver with his Autobot insignia tampographed on the left shoulder, the final product omits the paint operation (due to being molded with unpaintable plastic) and the insignia is placed on his left forearm, just like his ''Classics'' figure.

:The third ''United'' Optimus Prime toy is a redeco and slight retool of the [[#Transformers (2010)|Deluxe Class figure]] from Hasbro's 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline, itself an homage to Prime's ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|"Laser" form]]. The toy features translucent blue plastic as opposed to Hasbro's orange, red paint is used on the biceps instead of blue paint, extra red paint applications on the knees like the original's sticker detail, and more broken-up red apps on the shoulders. Silver detailing was added to the cab mode on the grill, the bumper, and near the doors. The blue plastic in cab mode is now black plastic to make the figure more accurate to the ''Generation 2'' original. The gray plastic is changed from the Hasbro version to more closely match the [[#G2reissue|2006 reissue of Laser Optimus Prime]]. Black paint was applied to the cab mode to mimic the fade from red to black on the original Laser Optimus, but still includes a flame deco like the Hasbro version, only in a different design. It lacks the roof-mounted rubsign of the Hasbro version, instead including Autobot insignias on the cab doors. (Disappointingly, they are Generation 1 insignias, rather than ''Generation 2'' ones!) Additionally, a retool was made to the peg on the inside of his right shoulder, to make it shorter and wider than the Hasbro version, allowing it to move freely without hitting the torso, unlike the Hasbro release.

*'''Black Optimus Prime''' ([[June 16]], 2012)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/blaster, wind vane/cannon

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at the [[Tokyo Toy Show]] 2012 (along with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Shining|''Prime'' Shining Optimus Prime]]), Black Optimus Prime is a very minor redeco of the previously unreleased [[#GenteiBlack|''Gentei! Gentei!'']] black version of [[#Henkei! Henkei!|''Henkei! Henkei!'' Convoy]], itself a redeco of the [[#Classics (2006)|''Classics'' Voyager Class toy]]. As such, Black Optimus Prime is mostly cast in black plastic, with some gray parts, translucent red windows and teal paint operations.

:The only differences with the unreleased version, aside from the packaging, are that silver paint has been added to the previously unpainted grill/fender area, the blue paint operations have been changed to teal, and the red Autobot insignias have been replaced by purple Decepticon ones. Prime's [[bio]] apparently explains that he took on this new color scheme in order to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks, in response to recent attacks by some new Decepticon forces pretending to be Autobots.

*'''G1 & Movie Sōshireikan Set''' (multi-pack, 2011)
**''ID number:'' '''CH01'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster|Laser rifle]], trailer

:This reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure comes in a two-pack with the Deluxe-Class ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime figure]]. Prime himself is almost identical to the ''Encore'' release, save for his trailer hitch which was retooled to allow a peg to be inserted within it while still being able to be inserted into the trailer itself (making it compatible with his G1 trailer and the new trailer included). Like the Encore release, he features lighter colors and tampographed shoulder symbols (which vary slightly from the Encore release).

:His original trailer is not included with the set; instead, he comes with [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|a new deluxe-scaled trailer]], not available with any other figure, based on the one towed by Prime in ''Dark of the Moon''. The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5 mm post|5 mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

:Oddly, for their official [[stock photography|promotional photography]], Takara took an existing photo of Optimus Prime's robot mode that was at least a decade old, having previously been used as a very early (and inaccurate) illustration for Hasbro's then upcoming ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' reissue of the figure.

*'''Matrix Optimus Prime''' (2011)
**''Pieces'': '''10'''
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

: Intended to be [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2011]], this redeco of the regular Optimus Prime Kreon has an open chest showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] within. He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand.

: We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in ''loads'' of other places—it was handed out at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), as a free gift on the cover of the ''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]'', and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the [[United Kingdom|UK]] children's comic, ''[[Doctor Who]] Adventures'' (but not the UK's [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers comic]], you'll note!).

:A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see below). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.

**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on Generation 1 Optimus), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

The robot mode is heavily restricted in its articulation, with no knees, and only single-direction-swivel elbows and shoulders.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984". This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online after the convention, but as the set sold out at the show, that never happened.

: Released in the third wave of "Brick Box" sets, and found only at Dollar General stores, this version of Optimus Prime uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face and torso tampographs are new.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year Sideswipe set (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to make whatever with.

: Part of the first wave of "Battle Changers", this version of Optimus Prime is a ''severely'' built-up Kreon that transforms from truck into a robot and back without removing any parts! However, the sheer chunkiness of his limbs hanging off a Kreon torso make for awkward positioning and questionable balljoint grip strength.

:This version of Battle Changers Optimus was only available in a two pack set with [[Megatron (Kre-O)#Battle Changers|Battle Changer Megatron]]. He is ''largely'' the same construction as as the single release, but has numerous small differences. He uses a new "double harness" piece on his torso instead of using two harnesses, leaving more space for his head to grip the neck-post, and his chest/windshield parts are each a single clipped "flag" part rather than the multi-part assembly of the single-pack. And of course there's the additional trailer, which doesn't have any official robot mode rebuild, and only loosely "connects" to the truck-mode Optimus by being lightly hooked to a single short bar on the back of Optimus's right leg.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). Another is based on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]] (Soundwave helmet), and the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]!

**''Pieces'': '''18'''
**''Accessories'': Missile-launching rifle, missile, energy axe, cannon, left & right rocket pods, "Ultra Magnus" right forearm & fist
:Part of the first wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Optimus is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

:He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

:While he is the same size as a standard Hero Masher, his larger [[size class|price point]] is made up for with a lot more parts and gimmicks. Both of his hands are removable, which allows for accessories to be placed in his wrist sockets, notably his iconic "energy axe". His rifle is a spring-loaded missile launcher. He also comes with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Ultra Magnus]]'s right arm, which is a [[redeco]] of ''Hero Mashers'' [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Bulkhead]]'s, only molded to remove that toy's missile-launching gimmick.

:Part of the first (and only) wave of larger electronic ''Hero Mashers Transformers'' toys, the base Optimus Prime figure in this set is ''almost'' identical to the above "Battle Upgrade" toy; this version has a closed right fist that can hold accessories rather than the Battle Upgrade version's finger-pointy one.

:However, this set comes with a completely different (and much larger) pile of accessories to turn Optimus (or any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure) into a hulking armored warrior. He comes with an extra left forearm with an electronic light, used to light up clear-plastic accessories when they're plugged into his wrist socket. Several of these accessories take inspiration from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]]'s gear, notably a very ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''-esque shield.

:Oddly, the big stompy boots accessories are designed in a way that Optimus is really far back in them, leaving a huge gap between his shins and the boots' "knee" guards. Presumably this is to accommodate other ''Hero Mashers'' toys with much larger footprints.

:Legion Class Optimus Prime has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] repleaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version.

:This figure was made available again, without any changes, in 2015, this time in new packaging resembling the then-concurrent packaging design for the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia., and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

Like ''Unite Warriors'' [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|Menasor]], the set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Convoy for increased stability. He also had the slightly modified pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack, Runabout, and Runamuck) can securely attach to, which was previously used for Battle Core Optimus Prime. The tampographed Autobot insignia on the roof/flip-out head joint is now re-positioned to his side truck panels.

:Compared to the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' release]] of the mold, Convoy features additional paint operations on the thighs, truck bumpers, the details on the inner legs, the gestalt chest halves (which are now painted over due to being molded in grey plastic), and the gestalt torso's lower section. The stomach's deco is also minimized, and the silver paint operations on the lower legs are now replaced with gunmetal while the mute metallic blue is now shiny metallic. When it comes to unpaintable plastic; his knee joints and feet are blue while the majority of the shoulder joints are now red. In addition, his gestalt skirt flap is now molded in the same grey color, and the leg panels and thighs are now molded in black, with the latter being painted in silver with some yellow details. As the thighs are painted, care must be taken while transforming him in both modes, as they're somewhat prone to paint scraping. To minimize the damage, the two rear halves must be opened first to transform the legs.

:Despite the ratchet fix, however, Convoy is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to several design failures attributed to his torso mode. The square holes and tabs used to secure the arms together when in torso mode are too weak to remain locked in place (though a very small number of copies can secure the arm well), and are prone to falling out of position should an attached arm be moved. The torso mode's skirt plate is also attached to the stomach rather than the pelvis, rendering the waist swivel nearly worthless due to the skirt obstructing articulation.

*'''Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Robot''' (2021)
**''Accessories'': carrying case, laser rifle, energy axe, non-removable exhaust pipes, wall charger, micro USB to USB 2.0 cable

:[[Robosen]]'s Optimus Prime is a highly interactive, programmable transforming robot. With over 5,000 pieces, 60 microchips, 27 servo motors, 6 high-intensity [[light-emitting diode|LED]]s, 80 different sound effects including voice clips from Peter Cullen, a dedicated iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, and a pricetag of $750 USD, it blurs the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics." Users can choose between multiple ways to control its robotic movements: including pre-programmed voice commands, pre-programmed app controls, or user-created movement scripts. In truck mode, it can drive as directed or honk its horn. In its [[#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]-influenced 19"-tall robot mode, it can execute a long list of included scripted actions featuring voice and sound effects, plus an infinite variety of user-programmed poses and user-scripted movement sequences. It has distinct attack movements and sounds to be used with its weapons, and has flip-out wrist communicators featuring sticker images of Megatron and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]].

:The main power source is an internal rechargeable lithium ion [[battery-powered motor|battery]]. The truck's front bumper flips down to expose the charging port and the separate micro USB interface port. A replaceable CR 1220 3V battery powers the "laser rifle's" LED; it's not really a laser, but it's bright. The instructions say don't look straight at it.

:In voice command mode, the spoken user command for conversion between truck and robot modes is officially supposed to be "[[Trademark#Genericized trademarks|convert]]," but secretly the toy will respond the same if you say "transform." It also responds to more than 30 other simple words and phrases which trigger other animations and basic functions: such as: "turn left" to turn left, "move right" to step to the right, or "hero" to strike a superheroic ground-punching pose. 6 months after launch, the Robosen software developers were still releasing new movement animations and firmware updates via channels that can be found in the official app, with no announced end date for their continuing improvements.

:27 servo motors might sound like a lot, but compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing hundreds and hundreds (''and hundreds!'') of dollars less, this item does lack some some pretty standard joints: such as neck rotation, wrist rotation, and thigh swivels.

:Although this Optimus Prime does mostly transform on its own, there are some additional manual adjustments required to make each mode look the way it's advertised. In robot mode, one red panel can be removed from the back of the head, and the gas tanks can be moved into a lower position on the legs. If the gas tanks are not lowered, they can protrude enough to obstruct animation. For vehicle mode, the removable red panel should be reattached, gas tanks moved back so they don't cover the wheels, and the side-view mirrors can be flipped out.

:In truck mode, especially via app control, Optimus is a fully functional remote control vehicle that can move forward, backward, and turn. Its steering does not happen the way real trucks do when they tilt the axles of the front wheels within their wheel wells; Instead, Optimus turns by throwing both legs simultaneously to one side or the other, which gives the appearance that the entire cab is pivoting around a central axis.

:In robot mode, Optimus' default idle behavior is not to stand perfectly still. Instead, he will slowly "breathe" with a subtle inhaling/exhaling motion like a human would have after aerobic exercise. From there, he will occasionally shift into other statuesque poses.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Optimus is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:None of the toy's motorized joints are capable of supporting substantial weight without electricity. This means that when powered off, the robot cannot stand upright without external support. If the toy is in robot mode and senses its batteries are getting low, then to prevent a damaging fall, it will automatically shift into a droopy squatting pose that it can safely sustain while powered off. The average operating time from a full battery charge is approximately 40 minutes. The charging port is not accessible while the robot is standing up. Plugging in the charger while the toy is powered on might endanger fragile components.

:Yes, the above means that this toy in effect cannot be displayed in robot mode when not in active use. It can't really be displayed in the proper truck mode either, as the robot legs need battery power to stay rigidly locked into truck configuration and will droop when turned off. It is rather clearly intended to remain in its protective carrying case most of the time.

:Aside from the laser rifle, none of the LED lights in the eyes, headlights, or tail lights can be deactivated while the toy is powered on. In robot mode, the brake lights shine brightly from the backs of the feet, and the headlights shine from within the forearms. Some of the pre-programmed actions exploit this deliberately, by having Optimus brandish his bright headlights as flip-out weapons. The laser rifle's LED turns on and off with its own physical switch.

:Many of the pre-loaded animations assume Optimus is holding his gun in his right hand and/or that he is holding his axe in his left hand. The toy has no sensors to detect whether those accessories are in place, and the app does not consistently label which animations use accessories. It also does not label the many animations that might damage the toy if attempted while accessories are attached, but <s>transforming</s> converting him or punching the ground would be a bad idea. So don't activate any animations while the accessories are attached unless you're sure you know what will happen.

:In addition to action/fighting/greetings animations, there are also many silly animations available from the official download page, including: Air Guitar with the G1 cartoon theme song, air drumming, a gyrating silent "Christmas" dance, doing push-ups then getting exhausted and passing out, and the {{w|Dab_(dance)|Dab}}.

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences: such as a head nod, a full mode conversion, or vehicle driving commands.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Prime's knuckles and feet will instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users report toppling issues due to a ''lack'' of traction.

:The sound effect for Prime's gun is of a distinctly "realistic" machine gun, and Hasbro has stated this effect may be changed.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/22623017/optimus-prime-transformer-auto-converting-programmable-robot-hasbro-robosen Review of Robosen Optimus Prime] mentioning the sound effect choice</ref>

:Accurate 3-D images of this Robosen toy appear throughout its app interface, but the app also decorates prominent buttons with drawings of ''[[Evergreen]]'' Optimus. The app and manual also contain many mistakes in spelling, grammar, typography, labeling transposition, etc.

:This item was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in April 2021, and began shipping to purchasers in October 2021. The TakaraTomy release of the figure is unchanged, though the dialogue is swapped from English to Japanese with [[Tesshō Genda]] reprising his role.

:A ''massive'' (and similarly pricy) [[Combat Deck (G1)#Robosen Collector's Edition|auto-converting trailer]] with [[Roller (G1)#Robosen Collector's Edition|Roller]] was later released to pair with this Optimus, as well the powered [[Flight stand#Robosen|Robosen AI Base]] which allows for prolonged display in robot mode.

:"Elite Optimus Prime" is a downsized version of the original (and now "Flagship") Robosen Optimus Prime, standing a mere 16" instead of 19" and costing $699. The different proportions result in a few noticeable but minor visual changes, such as the fuel tanks on his legs being a different shape and elevation compared to the original toy. The folding side mirrors and flip-out wrist communicators have been omitted. It retains all the accessories and programmable functions as the original. It is also compatible with the [[Flight stand#Robosen|Robosen AI Base]].

The post on the back of the truck used to tow the Racing Trailer was tooled out for this release, meaning he cannot tow the Racing Trailer.

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] ([[LEGO]])}}

:The first ever collaboration between [[Hasbro]] and one of its main competitors, [[LEGO]], 10302 Optimus Prime is a fully brick-built model of the Autobot leader standing 13.5 inches tall, released under LEGO's ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Icons|Icons]]'' theme. Unlike (most of) Hasbro's ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets that preceded it, this ''LEGO'' Optimus Prime set is fully transformable from robot to truck mode without having to disassemble any parts.

:A tall, top-heavy model, stability concerns mean he is not as articulated as a normal action figure, notably lacking bending knees. He includes an optional waist piece for fans to either display him with the Generation 1 toy-accurate truck bumper or the cartoon-accurate yellow block-shaped detail. He also includes a (then) brand-new piece for his [[mouthplate]] (named the ''Slope, Curved 33 2 x 2 Double / Inverted'' on BrickLink, with the item number being #1762), which has since gone on to be used in plenty of other LEGO sets.

:Prime comes with a plethora of brick-built accessories. He includes his ion blaster, his "Energon axe" (which can plug into either wrist once you remove the fist), a pink "Energon cube", the "Autobot Matrix of Leadership" (which can be stored inside his chest), and a jetpack based on the one he borrowed from [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]" (which can be attached to his back). Aside from the Matrix, only the ion blaster has dedicated storage when Prime is in truck mode, fitting between his legs to form the truck's trailer hitch; according to a small trivia blurb in the instructions, this is because the ion blaster was the only accessory in the set that was also included with the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy. Of course, this is LEGO we're talkin' about, so if you want, you can store the rest of the stuff on him anywhere you see some exposed studs!

:To round things out, an ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Ultimate Collector's Series|Ultimate Collector's Series]]''-styled display plaque featuring Optimus Prime's name (in both English and Ancient Autobot), function, motto, and [[Tech Spec]]s is included.

:Optimus Prime's [[Instructions|instruction booklet]] contains a short segment written by none other than LEGO Senior Designer [[Joe Kyde]], which showcases the history of the ''Transformers'' brand and the character of Optimus Prime. Unfortunately, said instructions also contain an assembly error: the stickered details on Prime's thighs are applied upside down compared to the Generation 1 [[character model]]. This error is also present on the [[stock photography]] on the packaging. Fortunately, the panels can be removed easily and reinstalled in the correct orientation for a more accurate robot mode. The aforementioned blurb also contains an amusing compromise—giving up on any attempt to reconcile Optimus's famous catchphrase and the need to protect Hasbro's ''Transformers'' [[trademark]], it renders the iconic command as [[:File:Convert and roll out.jpg|"Autobots, ''convert'' and roll out!"]]

**''Pieces'': '''237'''

:Released as part of LEGO's ''BrickHeadz'' theme of [[super deformed]] characters (a line launched by the Danish brand in 2016 as a competitor of sorts to [[Funko Pop!|Funko Pops]]), this set includes two builds of Optimus Prime, one in his robot mode and another in his vehicle mode, both of which can be built and displayed separately. Unlike LEGO's previous Prime, this model features a color scheme closer to the cartoon design rather than the toy. Like the rest of the ''BrickHeadz'' toyline, he features no stickers, with all of his details being printed onto the pieces instead, which comes in rather handy for LEGO MOC designers who might want to reuse the many little windows and insignia included in this set. The sides of his head feature a pair of 2x2 round tiles with Autobot insignia, something that did not appear on said cartoon design but, again, certainly helps with MOCs.

:Optimus has no accessories and, as customary with ''BrickHeadz'' toys, no articulation to speak of, but is very proficient at just standing cutely! The truck on the other hand, can be popped off the base and rolled around!

:A common gag across BrickHeadz toys is the inclusion of pink bricks within the structure of their heads, suggesting the characters' brains. Prime and his wave-mate [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#BrickHeadz|Bumblebee]], however; actually have transparent pink bricks inside their heads, representing Energon cubes instead!

**''Release Date'': June 30, 2022
**''Accessories'': Blaster, "[[Flight stand#Official Transformers flight stands|Tenseg Base]]"
:This uniquely branded ''Anti-Gravity Pedestal Tenseg Base'' release of Optimus Prime is a redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Ultra Magnus]]'s inner robot. Optimus Prime comes with a silver "Tenseg Base" which he can attach to, simulating a "floating" pose. Optimus Prime retains ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''/''Kingdom'' Ultra Magnus's blaster accessory, colored in a darker metallic gray in a possible attempt to emulate Prime's usual [[ion blaster]].

:Unusually for TakaraTomy, the vehicle mode stock photos are slightly mistransformed - the upper body isn't slid all the way forward, which makes the truck grille appear misaligned. Also, the Hasbro Pulse listing of the figure labels it as a "[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'']]" figure, likely because the figure's box comes sheathed in a ''Masterpiece'' branded sleeve.

:Sold separately are two alternately colored bases; one in heroic Autobot red and the other in '''EVIL''' Decepticon purple. Initially due for release in March 2022, Prime and the bases were eventually released on June 30.

:In a happy accident of cross-compatibility, Tenseg Base Optimus Prime can be equipped with the armor and alternate head included with ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Ultra Magnus]] to replicate the [[:File:RedCabPoweredConvoy.jpeg|red cab variant]] of ''[[Diaclone]]'' Powered Convoy released in [[GiG]]'s short-lived ''[[Trasformer]]'' {{sic}} toyline, minus Super Buggy.

:''[[Canon/Transformers]]'' Optimus Prime is a roughly Leader Class-sized figure that transforms into a fully licensed Canon [[EOS R5]] digital camera. The toy is 80% the size of the genuine article and features a removable lens attachment, though it must be reattached to him before he can transform to robot mode since it forms his head and arms. The lens cap is removable and is used as a shield in robot mode. His included [[Matrix of Leadership]] can be pegged onto his lens, just behind the front element. He also comes with a small version of his own camera mode.

:Both his Matrix and small camera accessory can be pegged into his palms. His hands feature a range of movement, with the thumb and index finger being articulated and the remaining fingers joined together.

: Produced in collaboration with Japanese space agency {{w|JAXA}} and {{w|Toyota}}, Lunar Cruiser Prime is a roughly Voyager-sized figure that transforms into the as-of-2023 current version of Toyota's "Lunar Cruiser" concept for an enclosed lunar rover, in part to promote TakaraTomy's own unmanned "SORA-Q" rover, which successfully deployed on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in January 2024 (after some delays). The large solar panel can tab onto the tube on the left side of the vehicle, or be folded in half and tucked away inside the vehicle's back end. The round roof-mounted antenna is on an adjustable armature. Despite not including any hand-mounted accessories or weapons, the figure features 5 mm compatible fists as well as hinged knuckles, allowing the hands to open.

: In robot mode, Prime can hold the solar panel like a shield. Both the shield and radar dish can attach to the adjustable "smokestack"-like assemblies on each of his shoulders, leaving his hands free. A [[Matrix of Leadership]] can also be spotted molded into the drivers' compartment.

:The figure was made available one month ahead of its general release on Japanese crowdfunding site Campfire in four tiers:
::* A version identical to the general release.
::* A package including a modular ''Masterpiece'' style stand.
::* A package with a thank you message on the TakaraTomy website, available to 40 people.
::* A package with a personal thank you message from [[Tesshō Genda]], the iconic original Japanese voice of Optimus Prime available to 10 people.

: The campaign opened at 10 AM on [[June 8]], 2023 and ran through midnight on [[July 17]]. Within the first 24 hours it blew past 300% of its initial 1 million JPY (approx. $7200 USD) goal. This toy was also available through [[Hasbro Pulse]], due to ship on [[June 30]] 2024... but other US-based outlets began shipping them in early March of 2024.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy),<ref name=Gens24>[https://www.soundwavesoblivion.com/techspecs/interviewhironorikobayashi.html Interview] with [[Hironori Kobayashi]] on the ''[[Missing Link]]'' toyline for ''[[Transformers Generations 2024]]'', translated at Soundwaves Oblivion</ref> [[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist), [[Shin Ueda]] (packaging artist)}}<ref name = "Missing Link">Article on Missing Link Convoy in [[Figure King]] issue 308 (September 2023), p109</ref>

:Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers'' brand, ''[[Missing Link]]'' Convoy's appearance is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' toy—but with the benefit of forty years of advances in toy engineering. It retains almost all of the original toy's [[gimmick]]s, and adds a bunch more.

:Although superficially identical to the vintage figure, its engineering has received a total overhaul to add a load of new points of [[articulation]]. Compared to the original, the toy boasts [[ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet]]ed elbows and knees, hinged knuckles, wrist curls, ankle tilts, a deeper forward bend for the feet, double-jointed outward shoulder motion, universal joints at the hips (with the wheels now folding out on skirts to accommodate outward leg motion), along with a neck [[Swivel joint|swivel]], a limited waist swivel and even an ab crunch! Unusually, the toy's [[instructions]] specifically demonstrate how to make use of all these new points of articulation. Where the original toy famously had [[Partformer|detachable]], easy-to-lose fists, this isn't the case with this modern update; the new, slightly smaller fists tuck neatly behind the grille (as with many other modern takes on this basic transformation scheme), revealing a pair of headlights — instead of holes — in the process. To facilitate the vast improvements to the lower body articulation and to help support the legs in truck mode, the toy foregoes one of the most iconic steps in the original transformation — where swinging the truck bed down causes it to separate into the legs — instead mounting the hips on individual [[slide joint]]s that must be carefully wiggled apart past a bracket in the middle first. These intricate plastic components are surrounded by heavy die-cast parts, and the thigh swivels in particular can be extraordinarily tight on some copies, which makes posing the legs feel ''precarious'' to say the least! We would advise maintaining a firm grip on the red sliding brackets and die-cast hips, as close to the joint being moved as possible, to prevent any excessive leverage being applied.

:All of the original accessories are included with this revamped release, plus some extras. The [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s launching mechanism has been nixed, in favor of allowing the repair drone to detach from the trailer and roll around on its own wheels. [[Roller (G1)|Roller]] (colored silver, not blue) has a new hinge to allow the port for the [[ion blaster]] to rotate out of sight, being replaced with a painted red light detail (harkening back to its appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]") . Roller's wheels and the toy's missiles are packed still attached to their [[sprue]] just like in the old days, complete with an extravagant spare set of missiles. The fuel pump, hose and nozzle are included basically unchanged as three separate parts but are in fact new tooling. In addition to these classic parts, the toy also comes with brand new accessories [[show-accuracy|inspired by the character's animation appearances]]: a chrome-gold [[Matrix of Leadership]] (which fits in his chest, like the similar accessory included with the older "[[#NewYearConvoy|Special Specification]]" release), and a transparent [[energon-axe]] which clasps shut over either hand. The ion blaster now features two [[5 mm post]]s to allow him to grip it normally, or even hold it with both hands thanks to his new articulation, and features a revamped sculpt based on the vintage accessory's earlier "thick" barrel variant (which informed the gun's animated depiction). A special chrome-silver mounting piece for the Matrix sits behind the truck windows, but can be removed to reveal the classic seats for smaller ''[[Diaclone]]'' figures.

:The toy has the classic Autobot [[rubsign]], [[rubber tires]] (with the classic real-world "[http://www.ewillys.com/2021/03/16/desert-dog-history-and-ads/ Desert Dog Formula]" brand), [[die-cast]] parts, and features all the same [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] surfaces as the vintage toy. The details of the original [[sticker]]s (on the arms, knees, and toes) have been fully molded into the plastic and picked out with paint—but the toy ''also'' comes with a direct recreation of the original sticker sheet anyway. The toy also comes with a marketing insert, a collector's [[card]] (with, oddly enough, a small hole punched through the top), and a [[Tech Spec]] decoder for reading the graph printed on the back of the [[packaging]] alongside the classic back-of-the-box mural. Everything is neatly presented using a polystyrene tray. For this release, the illustrator of the toy's original Japanese [[package art]], [[Shin Ueda]] (credited in English right on the new box!), was commissioned to produce a brand-new piece based on the iconic transformation-into-midair-leap pose from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Ironically, though the toy is finally capable of reproducing the ''original'' boxart pose, the engineering of its waist rotation means the ''new'' pose is impossible!

:Since the trailers are nearly identical in shape, the sound effect module from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy]] is compatible with the trailer of this release, though the module can't connect to Convoy's robot mode back.

:Although entirely a [[TakaraTomy]] initiative, the ''Missing Link'' toys were made available directly to Western fans via [[Hasbro Pulse]], sold under the name Optimus Prime. The toy kept its longer smokestacks and fully-functional firing missiles, which Hasbro had shortened [[for safety reasons]] in prior releases.

:In addition to the anime edition Convoy below, this toy was also redecoed to make ''Missing Link'' [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Missing Link|Sentinel Prime]] and [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Missing Link|Nemesis Prime]].

:A more affordable release of the ''Missing Link'' Convoy toy was sold without the trailer. This version of the toy goes for [[show-accuracy]], omitting the various paint applications intended to replicate [[sticker]] detailing, painting the toy's eyes blue instead of yellow, swapping the blue plastic for a slightly brighter shade, and picking out an [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] in fine white outlines solely on the left shoulder. Unlike Hasbro's contemporaneous ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' reissues, which similarly aim to use clever deco work to bring the original G1 toys closer to their animation depictions, this release keeps the chrome, instead of using a dull silver plastic.

:The toy still comes with its ion blaster (with a gunmetal paint application on its vent), energon-axe, and Matrix (now painted in animation-accurate metallic orange and silver); the Matrix housing is left as bare black plastic. A smaller sticker sheet is also included for [[customizing]] options—much like the one for the full release, but omitting all the trailer stickers. Three small yellow stickers are provided to replicate the waist/bumper details from the cartoon character model. The paperwork included is similar to the full release.

: ''Reactivate'' Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a post-apocalyptic armoured truck, based on his appearance in the cancelled ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' video game.

He comes with the usual Optimus accessories; an ion blaster, an energon axe that can fit over either fist, and a removable Matrix of Leadership (a repaint of the Matrix included with ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Optimus Prime).

: Optimus suffers from a [[design flaw]]- the handle on his ion blaster is far too short, resulting in an extremely loose grip. His torso can sometimes be tough to tab in properly because of tolerance issues, resulting in a conspicuous gap between his chest and abdomen; leaving the folded truck roof parts on his back untabbed will allow the rest of the torso to fit correctly while not affecting the toy's general articulation and functionality.

Notably, the need to reconcile the gray stripes on either side of Prime's robot mode abdomen and an animation-accurate stripe-less truck mode has resulted in truck mode stripes that abruptly end halfway down the cab. The truck cab has the long smokestacks, though the [[stock photography|toy photographs]] on the box depict short smokestacks.

:Made in collaboration with [[Capcom]] to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the ''Monster Hunter'' series, ''[[Synergenex]]'' "Rathalos Prime" is a heavy retool of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Airazor (BW)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Airazor]], transforming into a [https://monsterhunterwiki.org/wiki/Rathalos Rathalos] (known as Liolaeus in Japan, hence the figure's Japanese name), the dragon-like poster monster of Capcom's ''Monster Hunter'' franchise. His robot mode is designed to resemble Optimus Prime as a monster hunter hunter geared up in a full set of Rathalos Armor. He includes two small pieces of removable brace armor which are also used to conceal his robot mode thighs in beast mode.

:Prime wields a "[https://monsterhunterwiki.org/wiki/Charge_Blade Flame Hatchet Energy Axe]" (specifically based on the [https://mhworld.kiranico.com/en/weapons/ONT6Sp/axelion-blade Axelion Blade]), a sword-and-shield combo that, after building up enough energy, can be combined together into a large axe. This is achieved in toy form by splitting the shield open and having the sword peg into it. He also comes with a "Firedrake Matrix" (or Collaboration Matrix according to Hasbro) bearing the insignia of a [https://mhworld.kiranico.com/en/items/rM2Al/rathalos-ruby Rathalos Ruby]. While the figure's chest does not open for Matrix storage, there is a peg within the dragon head/tail assembly for mounting it, where it can remain in either mode.

:Rathalos Prime was initially teased as part of the Synergenex line's reveal on 2024 August 25, and was eventually revealed proper on 2024 [[September 26]] in {{w|Capcom}}'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlnKUs3A7bQ&t=46m17s Online Program] during {{w|Tokyo Game Show}}.

:TakaraTomy's stock renders use a notably different color scheme, with a darker, desaturated shade of red for the body and a solid gold color on the sword unlike the finished figure's yellow-to-orange gradient.

:Commemorating the 30th anniversary of ''[[fandom:macross:Macross 7|Macross 7]]'', the second full-length TV anime in the ''[[Macross]]'' franchise, "Basara Prime" is a ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]''-style figure inspired by the series' lead mecha, the [[fandom:macross:VF-19 Excalibur Custom|Fire Valkyrie]], as well as its pilot, [[fandom:macross:Basara Nekki|Basara Nekki]].

:Unique among most modern ''Transformers'' figures, Basara Prime possesses ''four'' modes: a robot that blends elements of Optimus and the Valkyrie together, a fighter jet, "GERWALK Mode", a staple ''Macross'' mode that sees the robot mode's arms and legs deploy from the jet; and a crumpled-up "Vehicle Mode" inspired by Optimus' usual truck mode, complete with a ''very'' [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]]-y trailer for him to haul. In robot mode, the trailer unfurls to assume "Live Stage Mode", essentially a mini-rock concert stage, complete with speakers and a microphone.

:In addition to the trailer, Prime also comes with a blaster, a Transformer-sized version of Basara's guitar, complete with a strap that can be slung over Prime's shoulder, and two faceplate-less alternate faces (one stoic, the other belting out tunes).

:Basara Prime went up for pre-order on [[July 3]], 2025, with a release window currently set for Spring 2026.

*The first prototype for Battle Convoy, the ''[[Diaclone]]'' originator of Optimus Prime, was vastly different from the final version, complete with an entirely different transformation and a car carrying trailer. The head lacked the faceplate.
*A later prototype/mock-up was much closer to the final product but still has some noticeable differences, such as a head with much larger antennae, longer smokestacks and a front grille section that includes the rectangular section that would sport the "Freightliner" logo on the real-life truck (on the final toy, the rectangular section is part of the hinged upper section that includes the windows). It would have also been possible to attach the [[ion blaster]] to either of his shoulders.<ref name="diaclonecatalogs">[https://web.archive.org/web/20151017201739/http://1501bc.com/pretf/pictures/tfdiac6b.jpg Diaclone catalog scans] at 1501bc.com.</ref>
*The toy that would ultimately end up as the original Optimus Prime toy was originally released in August [[1983]] as No.17 Battle Convoy from Takara's Diaclone Car Robo toyline in Japan. In [[1984]], [[Joustra]] released their own version (still with ''Diaclone'' sticker on the trailer) as part of their Diaclone line in Europe, either simply called ''Truck'' (according to the pack-in catalog) or ''Diaclone'' (in the pack-in comic). It's possible that [[GiG]] also released a version called ''Camion Convoy'' as part of their ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy, but to this day no packaged sample has surfaced.

*In August 2007 TakaraTomy yet again did a rerelease similar to the 2000 Convoy rerelease, this time as part of the "[[Transformers Encore]]" line. This version has a new rifle with a longer handle so Optimus can finally hold it straight.

===Powermaster Optimus Prime design history===
[[File:EarlyPMPrime1.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|Overcompensating.]]
{{multiple image|image1=EarlyPMPrime2.jpg|image2=EarlyPMPrime3.jpg|width1=115|width2=150}}

[[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime, being the grand toy rebirth of Optimus Prime post-movie, apparently received a lot of thought during the design process. Prime went through an inordinate number of design changes from concept to final with at least three very major revisions:

*The earliest version, as shown in the first patent application for the toy, was to have the Prime cab be a triplechanger, turning from truck cab to jet or robot.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19880604&CC=JP&NR=S63132686A&KC=A Patent #JP63-132686]</ref> The nosecone of the jet and robot legs were released by the Powermaster lock in the same fashion as the legs in the final version. Optimus would have had winged arms in non-super [[robot mode]]. The super robot mode's head was also integrated into the trailer's hitch... and lacked a faceplate.

*The second known version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p22, p106</ref> ditched the triplechanging gimmick on the cab and simplified things a good bit. This Powermaster Prime has several distinct characteristics only seen in the second design, such as the wider "block head" and two faux smokestacks on top of either shoulder as opposed to one. Also, in a rather odd twist, this design features a black head and fists for both super and regular modes rather than the traditional blue. It also had yellow eyes in either mode a la the original Optimus Prime.

*The third version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p106</ref> would quite possibly have been the most gimmick loaded Transformer in the history of the line, simultaneously being a Powermaster, [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], and [[Triple Changer]]. The Headmaster also would have been a Triple Changer, turning into a sort of armored four-wheeled rover (Roller II?) and robot as well as a rather silly looking Optimus Prime head with four vertically aligned wheels jutting off the sides. It seems that when the extra Headmaster gimmick was scrapped, the super mode head remained separate rather than being reintegrated into the trailer hitch such as on the earliest design. Notably, the body of this design is extremely close to the final design.
*A fourth version is shown in the 1987-88 Transformers product catalog that has several minor differences from both Powermaster Prime and [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]], such as having God Ginrai's sliding fists but in red, a completely different trailer hitch assembly partially based on the third design, an offset Autobot symbol in base mode, extended feet also based on third design, far more detailed super mode outer leg panels, completely different front bumper, and the first instance of single faux shoulder smokestacks rather than two. It is still unknown as to why Powermaster Prime has completely different arms from God Ginrai or all earlier concept versions.

Powermaster Prime's animation model as used in the commercials and as a character guide for the Marvel comics is a composite of the second and third designs. The body of the model is actually a straight tracing of the concept lineart for the third version (including its different rifles and twin faux shoulder stacks), with a slightly simplified drawing of the second version's head drawn on top.

===Miscellaneous Primes===
[[File:EarlyActionMasterOptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=.5]]
[[File:Early Star Convoy Planning Stage.jpg‎|thumb|left|I am the prototype of the toy of the future!]]
[[File:PMHeroTrace.jpg|thumb|Stealing purses across the ages.]]
*The preproduction version of Action Master Optimus Prime (featured in catalogs and on his [[Power Plans]]) used a darker blue closer to the 1984 toy and had upper legs painted grey. Amusingly, the mold also originally had longer smokestacks that were presumably trimmed down for safety or breakage issues, which would become something of a running theme with Optimus Prime toys.
*The ''Return of Convoy'' pack-in catalogs show Star Convoy as originally having silver paint on his vehicle mode and robot thighs, mirroring the similarly-colored parts of the original Optimus Prime design. However, the Star Convoy released at retail instead used bare white plastic, possibly as a cost-saving measure (as ''Transformers'' was rapidly losing popularity in Japan at the time). When Takara reissued the toy years later, it restored the originally-intended silver of the prototype.
*''Return of Convoy'' catalogs reveal the planning process behind Star Convoy's evolution from gimmick-rich illustration to prototype before reaching final production.
*The pose used for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#HeroOptimusPrime|Hero Optimus Prime]]'s [[package art]] is rather blatantly swiped from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Powermaster]] [[#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]'s package art.
*On a similar note, ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]'s package art is merely edited from ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s card art, keeping it mostly intact save for the removal of shoulder kibble and the addition of a non-windowed chestplate.
*The Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy was featured in a [[:File:Optimus prime nokia 6820.JPG|print ad]] for [[Nokia]] {{w|Nokia 68xx series#Nokia 6820|6820}} phones in December 2004.<ref name="nokia">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/20th-anniversary-optimus-prime-featured-in-nokia-a/4374/ "20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Featured in Nokia Ad"]</ref> He is posed bent over to look at the phone and scratching his head. Pleasantly, ''most'' of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un-[[Customizing|kitbash]]ed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy.

Since 1984, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 '''Optimus Prime''']] has received the largest number of toys for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character, a testament to the character's enduring popularity and status as a hero to many fans.

Due to the popularity of the character and the evergrowing [[Generation 1 continuity family]], this article had become far too large, causing internet browsers to struggle loading all of its contents, and—in the most extreme cases—crashing entirely. For the sake of a nice clean split, we have opted to move all of Optimus Prime's ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys into a separate article which can be found '''[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys|here]]'''.

:*''Takara ID number'': '''01'''
:*''Accessories'': "Laser Blaster", left & right fists, trailer/"Combat Deck", "Roller", 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump
{{toydesigner|[[Hiroyuki Obara]] (TakaraTomy), [[Shōji Kawamori]] ([[Studio Nue]])|[[Jeffrey Mangiat]] (packaging art, Hasbro), [[Shin Ueda]] (packaging art, TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the first year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toyline]], Optimus Prime transforms into a White Freightliner WFT-8664T cabover semi-trailer truck with an additional trailer unit. In robot mode, his fists are separate accessories that must plug into his wrists; the fists do not store securely anywhere in vehicle mode, but can fit easily in Prime's chest/drivers' compartment. He is armed with a black laser rifle that, by design, he cannot hold straight. His articulation is relatively high for the era due to his transformation, and even has functioning knees, though their use is restricted by his lack of forward hip movement. His smokestacks can rotate, but are seemingly a form of [[for safety reasons|anti-breakage move]].

: Prime's [[trailer]] opens up into his [[Combat Deck (G1)#Toys|Combat Deck]], containing the scout drone, [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Roller]]. The interior of the Combat Deck features three raised holes that can accommodate Prime's laser rifle, fuel pump and nozzle accessories. The Combat Deck's central feature is a missile-armed repair drone pod mounted upon a boom lift arm, which can be extended through square holes in the trailer's roof and front end when it is closed. While the drone has spring-loaded missile launchers, the springs have been severely weakened in the Hasbro release. Situated in the base of the boom arm is a spring-loaded launcher that can launch Roller out of the Combat Deck and into action. Roller features a port that can accommodate either Prime's rifle or the fuel pump. The interior space of the trailer allows storage room for one standard [[Autobot Cars|Autobot Car]], which can also be shot forward by the launcher.

: The toy started life as the Takara ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Battle Convoy" toy, a piloted mecha, thus the numerous spots across the toy's components with little seats for Diaclone pilots that Optimus did not come with.

: [[File:G1toy optimus prime variants and running changes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Most people would be happy with just ''one'' Optimus Prime, but noooooo...]]

: Optimus was subject to several molding and color variations in his early days. The earliest release of the figure featured large rounded fists, a hefty rifle with a large rounded barrel, a thick fuel pump with a detailed nozzle, silver rockets, silver Roller, silver Combat Deck launcher, and metal plates in the floor of the Combat Deck (a holdover from the ''Diaclone'' version of the toy, to which the magnetic feet of the pilots could cling). In short order, new-yet-almost-identical [[mold]]s were created, presumably to refresh the tooling as the original had already been heavily used for ''Diaclone'' and so a wider range of factories (going from only Japan to Japan, China, Macau, and more) could produce more units to meet demand quickly, a common practice at the time. Prime's fists were resculpted to be smaller and more angular, the gun's silhouette was heavily revised, the fuel pump and nozzle were simplified, the rockets and launcher recast in black plastic, the Combat Deck's metal plates (and their clips) were removed, and the outer trailer detailing and door hinges were altered. Roller and the Combat Deck's drone pod color was swapped to a light blue, though a third running change soon followed that saw them restored to their original darker blue. The revised mold would be used by subsequent reissues of the Optimus toy, though Roller still fluctuates back and forth between grey and dark blue, depending on how [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] each reissue wants to be.

: The yellow square stickers marked #7 were meant to be applied in the idents on the front bumper, not on front of the Roller. The "Go" sticker marked #4 was meant to be applied on the

: The Japanese 1985 release of the figure also underwent the accessory changes, but never featured a silver Roller. Instead, Takara's original release of Prime featured a ''Diaclone''-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version. It also had fully-functional missile launchers on the drone.

: Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue. For the mainland Europe [[Milton Bradley]] release, there were two [[variant]]s of Optimus Prime available: the first version, manufactured by Takara, sported blue feet like most other versions; the second version, manufactured by [[Joustra]]'s parent company [[Ceji]], sported red feet instead.<ref name="3mb" /> On top of that, the Italian release of "Commander" by [[GiG]] eventually featured a [http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vprime6.html later variant] that replaced the rubber tires and [[die-cast]] feet with plastic parts, similar to the US [[KB Toys]] variant of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Toys|Ultra Magnus]].

: Having been removed from toy store shelves after 1985, Optimus Prime was made available as a mail-away toy in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" offer in the US in 1986 to coincide with the [[The Transformers: The Movie|''Transformers'' movie]] premiering that year. He cost $21.50 and 5 [[Robot Point]]s. He was also offered in "[[The Autobots Have a Special Mission for:]]" mail-away pamphlet, and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle; this edition of the toy is considered ''particularly'' rare.

: Over forty-plus years, there have been a ''bajillion'' releases of this mold, some identical to the original toy, and some featuring significant variants with notably different paint jobs, color schemes, accessories and other pack-ins. We have striven to list all these variants on this page under their respective series; for a quick-reference list of all variants and releases [[#Notes|check here]]. The cab robot has also been used sparingly to represent different characters; outfitted with different trailers, it has become Generation 1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Pepsi Convoy]].

: A limited edition version of the Optimus Prime toy was sold as a mail-away exclusive by [[Pepsi|PepsiCo]] in North America in 1985. This version of the figure came with a small fold-out leaflet glued to the top-right of the packaging, which contained two Pepsi logo stickers for the buyer to attach to Prime, mid-way through the traditional silver-and-blue stripe on his trailer. [[Canada]] also got a version of this promotional figure, but with much larger stickers that were the full length and height of the trailer.

: This promotion would go on to serve as the inspiration for the Japanese character of [[Pepsi Convoy]], who would in turn be released by Hasbro as a new "[[#PepsiPrime2007|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]" in 2007.

{{note|''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ultra Magnus]]' inner white Optimus Prime redeco was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Optimus Prime in the ''[[Transformers vs. G.I. Joe]]'' issue "[[The War Never Ends]]".}}

: Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original Optimus Prime figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue, though his chestplate, which was rendered white in his package art followed a more the blue color scheme of his shoulders. He transforms into a Freightliner COE, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his [[robot mode]]s to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

: The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Additionally, three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus—released as part of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Toys 2|Scramble City]]'' sub-line—''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was soon replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head. In addition, the clear yellow plastic that formed his windows was removed from the cab, leaving just holes instead; and his thighs and fuel tanks were left white, as opposed to the vacuum metalized chrome ones of the original release.

:The small robot component, as well as being part of Optimus Prime, was also released with a different trailer as [[Pepsi Convoy]].

[[File:PowermasterOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My Japanese release has a lot more bling. And shorter stacks.]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Optimus Prime''' (Powermaster, 1988)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories:'' Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 [[laser rifle]]s, 2 twin [[particle beam cannon]]s, super robot head
{{toydesigner|[[Richard Marcej]] (packaging)}}

: Sold in the fifth year of the Hasbro US ''Transformers'' line (fourth in European markets), Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first new toy of the Autobot leader since the original toy's release in 1984. He is an all-new design, featuring the [[Powermaster]] gimmick: His partner figure, [[Hi-Q#Toys|Hi-Q]], must be transformed into an engine and attached to Prime's vehicle mode in order to enable the transformation into robot mode.

: Like the original figure, Powermaster Prime is composed of two major components: his truck cab, which transforms into Prime himself, and his trailer, which is essentially a heavily-armed version of the original. The trailer has a fold-down ramp to allow the storage of a smaller Transformer, or perhaps spare accessories. The trailer transforms into a battle station armed with two long black rifles and two grey double-barreled cannons (featuring seating for Powermaster engine figures), all of which Optimus Prime can also wield in his fists.

: Aside from the Powermaster feature itself, the main [[gimmick]] of the toy is the ability of the truck cab to combine with the trailer to form the larger "Super Optimus Prime" figure. This is essentially accomplished by standing the trailer up, folding the cab in half and inserting it into the empty cavity in the trailer's torso, forming an imposing—if almost entirely unposeable—robot form armed with all four weapons. The head of this super robot form is a separate piece which can be stored in the rear of Prime's trailer when not in use. While Hi-Q was always shown plugged into Prime's chest in artwork of this mode (as seen in the picture here), this was actually entirely unnecessary as transforming into Super Optimus Prime didn't require the standard Prime toy's legs to be unlocked.

:The Japanese release of Powermaster Optimus Prime actually represented a new character named [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], and featured several retools: the cab featured die-cast metal, shortened smokestacks, vacuum-metalized plastic and clear blue windows, while the trailer was given retractable super robot fists. This Japanese version was eventually issued by Hasbro in 2003 as part of the [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] collection ([[#Commemorative Series|see below]]).

:This toy was later redecoed into the Japanese-exclusive Super Convoy.

:There were several different prototypes made for this toy. [[#Powermaster Optimus Prime design history|See a list here]].

:*''Accessories:'' trailer, 2 laser guns, 4 blaster cannons, 2 Energon exhaust stacks, [[photon bazooka]]
{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Sold in the seventh and final year of the original line (sixth and not-final in Europe), [[Action Master#Toys|Action Master]] Optimus Prime is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure closely based on his [[character model]], albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based largely on the cab robot of his Powermaster body. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus limited ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s. Curiously, Optimus also has a 3mm hole directly above the 5mm one, an extra feature only found on [[Shockwave (G1)|one other]] Action Master. In Optimus' case, it's likely [[:File:AM Helmet Weapons.jpg|a leftover from an aborted gimmick]] for which the figure was a test case.

: The toy shown in the Action Masters commercial shows gray paint operations on Prime's upper legs that the final toy lacks.

: He was only available with the "[[Armored Convoy#Toys|Armored Convoy]]", a large, heavily armed tractor trailer, and the largest Action Master vehicle set offered.

: The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more [[Show-accuracy|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 in white and transparent green as the ''[[Microman]]: [[Microman#Micro Millennium (1998-2000)|LED Powers]]'' toy [[Microman#MicroTrailer|Micro Trailer]] – sans Optimus Prime, natch – which also received two separate [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] toys as the transparent black [[Microman#DarkTrailer|Dark Trailer]] and transparent red [[Microman#FlameTrailer|Flame Trailer]].

:This straight reissue of the original Optimus Prime figure was released in Hasbro's European markets in the early 1990s, at the same time as many other Generation 1 figures were being re-released as "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Oddly, although he shares their golden packaging, Prime is not actually ''identified'' as a "Classics" figure anywhere on his box, but is generally considered to be part of the sub-line for simplicity's sake.

:*''Accessories'': "Galaxy bomber" rifle, [[Micro Trailer]], Microcarrier, small cannon, cannon turret stand, radar, connector, 2 ramps
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the Japanese ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1991 (Return of Convoy)|Return of Convoy]]'' part of the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|original Takara ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' toyline]], and the final new-design Optimus Prime toy from the original Generation 1 era, Star Convoy was a significant departure from previous versions. This incarnation of Prime transforms into an extended-hood cab truck of made-up model pulling an implausibly large trailer, incorporating the motorized "Microcarrier". [[Motorized movement|Powered by four AA batteries]], the Microcarrier drives Star Convoy either forward or backward, spinning a radar dish mounted on the rear of his trailer as he rolls along. Prime's teammate in the [[Battlestars]], [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]], can link up to the rear of Star Convoy's vehicle mode and be pulled along behind him; [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] can then land atop Grandus, forming a giant vehicle.

: Unlike previous Optimus Prime toys, the cab section does not separate from the trailer for transformation, instead forming the arms of his imposing 12-inch tall robot mode. He lacks any sort of leg articulation in this mode, but the Microcarrier comes into play again, allowing Prime to roll either forward or backward into action.

: Additionally, Star Convoy transforms into a large battle station that interacts with the [[Micromaster]]s that made up the vast majority of the ''Transformer'' toyline at the time. His chest contains a peg that allows Micromaster figures to stand inside it in either robot or base modes, and he comes with a unique Micromaster version of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Hot Rod]] not available on its own. He features storage space in his legs for two spring-loaded figure-launching [[Micro Trailer]]s, and comes with one of his own, decorated in a unique black and orange color scheme. In this mode, two ramps are connected to the Microcarrier; when the carrier's treads are set rolling, they do not move the base, but instead act as conveyor belts that carry Micromaster figures down the ramps. The Microcarrier also spins a gun turret mounted between the conveyors, on which Micromaster figures can stand. Finally, a special connector packaged with Star Convoy allows the Microcarrier to be connected up to Grandus's base mode, powering his moving elevator.

: On an odd note, despite being best known as a Japanese exclusive, Star Convoy was also released across several stores in [[Portugal]] during the early nineties: most notably amongst these being Jumbo (now rebranded into Auchan since the 2010s), one of the country's largest hypermarket chains.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/heIhoys Translated screenshot of a 2021 thread] from Facebook group ''Transformers Portugal'' (link to original thread [https://www.facebook.com/groups/256309611187146?multi_permalinks=1808935782591180 here]) where multiple users discuss having found Star Convoy on Portuguese retail during the 90s.</ref> Weirdly, he came in his original Takara packaging - thus retaining all the Japanese text that was eventually illegible to most Portuguese consumers - which suggests that he was most likely a direct import from the original batch of figures rather than a localized version like [[GiG]]'s [[Galaxy Shuttle]]. It is unknown exactly what circumstances led to this one Japanese figure reaching widespread retail in a single European country, but as a result, he tends to pop up surprisingly often on the Portuguese secondary market.

:Star Convoy was reissued by Takara in 2005, with some notable alterations to his deco: his white plastic was replaced with metallic silver, and the yellow star on his chest was chromed golden. Star Convoy himself retained some of his original decals, but most notably his "simulated head lights" and "wind shield panels" were tampographed on him; similarly, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#StarConvoyReissue|Hot Rod]]'s stickers were all replaced with tampograph deco. Additionally, where the original toy had been packaged in robot mode in a tall box decorated with the standard Japanese package art of the time, the reissue was packaged in vehicle mode, in a long, wide box more reminiscent of the original Generation 1 toys.

:*''Accessories'': "Laser blaster", left & right fists, light & sound module, 2 rocket launchers, 4 rockets, "Roller" scout car, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, trailer, 4 missiles

: Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, this Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the original figure release with some notable new additions to catch him up to the radical 1990s. While his cab robot retained his original red and dark blue color scheme, his trailer was recast in black, with the original blue and silver striped sticker replaced with a red and silver one displaying Optimus's name. On the first release of the trailer, the internal components and Roller matched the blue of the cab robot. Later, the internal components and Roller were changed to a lighter blue. Another ''second'' running change followed, making the dark blue of the cab robot match this lighter shade. A bright yellow "Autobot" [[tampograph]] was also added to the back of his right leg, present in all versions of the toy.

: ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime comes with all his original accessories and play features... yes, even the [[for safety reasons|severely-weakened]] missile launchers on the Combat Deck, the only recycled toy in ''Generation 2'' to retain the old launching mechanisms. But Optimus also has two major new play features. To increase his arsenal, Optimus is now armed with a pair of large, black handheld missile launchers that fire red missiles. These launchers were retooled from the 1992 ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' figure [http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/barricade.shtml Barricade].

: Second, he comes with an electronic "sound and lights module" that can either plug into the front of the trailer (where it resembles a trailer refrigeration unit), or hook onto Optimus's back in [[robot mode]] via a new slot retooled into the cab robot. Unfortunately, the soundbox is heavy enough that doing so can often overpower Prime's hip joints, causing him to topple backward. The soundbox features a large, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] Autobot symbol on its front, and three grey buttons which trigger two flashing red LEDs on either side of the module, and [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/c/c6/G2OptimusNoises.ogg a trio of sound effects]: a truck engine noise, a laser gun sound effect, and a very loud "I am Optimus Prime!". The module also features ports on either side into which the missile launchers can peg. How the sound module handles batteries is an oddity among Transformers before or since: as Optimus came out during a transitional period where button cell batteries were still fairly expensive, the module uses AA batteries by default, but was originally packed with a small bracket for included LR44 batteries that overrides the AA compartment completely to support the "Try Me!" feature in the box. The original intent is to discard the bracket once the LR44s run out and switch to several AA batteries, but if one were to keep it, the electronics can work equally well solely off far fewer button cell batteries.

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Released in the second year of ''Generation 2'', [[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Optimus Prime was the first new-mold Optimus Prime toy created for the ''Generation 2'' line. He transforms into a long-nose Volvo N12 truck and trailer. The trailer has a permanently-attached massive rocket launcher powered by an air bellows: slide one of his rockets over the barrel, then slam down on the bellows to launch the rocket. The launcher also features a [[5 mm post]] to attach a smaller rifle. The rockets and bellows all clip neatly onto the trailer as well.

: In robot mode, the launcher remains permanently affixed to Optimus's right arm, and retains its functionality. The air bellows and rockets mount on his back. This was also one of the first ''Transformers'' toys to feature expanded [[articulation]] in robot mode, though they hadn't really perfected the formula so soon and he ends up fairly back-heavy and heel-strut-needing.

: A similar air-launching system with identical missiles was used by the simultaneously-released [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Hero|Hero Megatron]], and by Laser Optimus Prime the following year (see below).

: This mold was also used to create [[Sureshot (G2)#Toys|Sureshot]] and the [[KB Toys]]-exclusive [[Destructicon (RID)|Destructicon]] [[Scourge (RID)#Destructicon|Scourge]].

: Released in the final year of ''Generation 2'', Laser Optimus Prime (released in Europe under the name "Laser Rod Optimus Prime") transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The sides of the trailer are decorated with a sticker depicting Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a banner with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" on it. The truck is armed with a disc launcher on the roof of its trailer, which launches five blue discs bearing the ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignia as a knob is turned. Like the other "[[Laser Rod|Laser]]" toys released this year, Prime features electronics powered by two button-cell batteries; in truck mode, pressing the button on the cab's roof causes his headlight to light up with yellow LEDs.

: In the grand Optimus tradition, the cab of Laser Optimus Prime disconnects to become the highly poseable robot mode of Prime himself. Like Powermaster Prime and Hero Prime, the toy features the iconic windshield pecs and grill abs, despite not actually being formed from the actual truck components they emulate. In robot mode, pressing the button on Prime's cab (now on his back) activates a red LED in his right fist which illuminates his clear-plastic sword (which stores beneath his legs in truck mode).

: Prime's trailer unfolds via a spring-loaded transformation mechanism in a battle station that is positively ''bristling'' with varied weaponry. In addition to the disc launcher, it is armed with a "ripple-fire" missile launcher that fires five missiles, an air-powered rocket launcher like the one previously seen on Hero Optimus Prime, and a small laser cannon that mounts on the base's main tower. Both the missile launcher and laser cannon can disconnect and be held by Prime; his LED-fist will illuminate the laser cannon like it does his sword. Additional missiles and a second rocket are stored in grooves inside the sides of the trailer.

: This mold was redecoed by Takara in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)#Toys|Black Convoy]], and later by Hasbro as Black Convoy's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] counterpart Scourge. It was also used to make the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]]. It was planned to be used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)#Toys|Toxitron]], but that was canceled.

: In addition to being possibly the most popular ''Generation 2'' figure, Laser Optimus Prime was, prior to 2003, a regular contender for most popular ''Transformers'' toy ''ever'', back in the days of the annual [[alt.toys.transformers]] fan awards; the toy won twice, and actually lost once to his redeco, Scourge.

: Part of the second wave of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s, this Optimus is a redeco of [[Firecracker#Toys|Firecracker]], transforming into a ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]''-sized 1:64-scale Lamborghini Diablo. Like most Go-Bots, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly, and is broadly compatible with ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox'' style tracks and playsets.

: The plastic colors are a "solid" version of Firecracker's color layout, substituting opaque red for transparent red plastic, but also adding blue paint to his helmet for that little extra touch of Optimus. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; [[Blowout (G2)#Toys|Blowout]] and Firecracker became new versions of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]] and Optimus Prime respectively, while [[Gearhead#Toys|Gearhead]] and [[Motormouth (G2)#Toys|Motormouth]] stayed themselves.)

: In Europe, this deco was sold as Firecracker himself rather than Optimus Prime (at least in the French/Dutch/German packaging variant).

:[[File:G2-toy OptimusPrime GoBotTakara.jpg|upright=1|left|thumb|(''Takara release'')]]

: Optimus was one of only three Go-Bots sold in the Takara ''G-2'' line, but it was a... weird release. His hood was tampographed with a stylized "T" with the ''Transformers'' logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Soundwave]], as well as the Japanese release of Go-Bots [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]]. On top of that, his yellow plastics are now the same bright fluorescent yellow as found on Soundwave, thanks to the [[gang-molding]] process used to make this batch. He keeps the blue helmet though. These three toys were sold on cards that were nigh-identical to the Hasbro cards on the front, rather than the usual ''G-2'' style packaging, with only a small bit of Japanese text on the front in the logo. The back side is stylistically close to the ''Generation 2'' packaging, but a "generic" cardback used for all three toys and entirely in Japanese. It's unclear why these toys were released this way; it's possible these were sold in convenience stores or some other similar outlet rather than in conventional toy stores/departments; these toys do not appear on the normal ''G-2'' catalogs either. Even more oddly, the Optimus shown on the cross-sell is actually a [[Sideswipe (G1)#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]] with the car panels hand-painted red, and lacks the "T" on the hood... and yes, he's labeled "Optimus Prime" in Japanese as well, making this the first instance of the character ''not'' being named "Convoy" in Japan.

: The sculpt was later redecoed again for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]], and later still into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spychanger]] [[R.E.V.]].

: This Optimus Prime was to be a redeco of Hero Optimus Prime (above) in dark blue and red. Packaged samples of this toy were produced, but it was ultimately never released. The packaged samples feature a "traditional" color scheme for the head, with a silver [[mouthplate]]; the prototype depicted in the official catalog image seen on the right sports an unusual ''red'' mouthplate, which inspired several later toys.

: Since much of the advertising for the ultimately-unreleased redeco used an older, outdated name for the "Heroes" assortment, "Combat Heroes", Optimus and an equally unreleased redeco of "Hero" Megatron are commonly referred to by fans as "Combat Heroes" compared to the original "Heroes" releases, although all evidence suggests that Hasbro had never actually intended such a distinction, instead treating them as mere color [[variant]]s. Though the packaging is mostly unchanged (including a reuse of the existing packaging art depicting the original release's color scheme), one of the few minor alterations sees the addition of the name "Hero" (rather than "Combat Hero") to Optimus Prime's name above the (otherwise unchanged) UPC barcode.

: A finished sample of the Hero Optimus Prime redeco was among the rare toys auctioned off for charity at [[BotCon 1996]], along with several other unreleased ''Generation 2'' items.

Although there isn't a clear consensus from collectors and no statement from Hasbro on this matter as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, we have nonetheless chosen to cover them here for the sake of archival and posterity.}}
[[File:ToonTown-DiaclonePrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hi, I'm originally a bootleg who might or might also not be a bootleg still! [[Completist|Buy me!]]]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a2|'''Battle Supplier''' (1997)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Rifle, left & right fists, Roller

: An oddball South Korean-exclusive provided by company ToonTown with the ''presumably'' legitimate copyright of Hasbro International, the nameless 'Battle Supplier' - per his packaging description - is actually nothing less than a repackaging of an old, likely Taiwanese-made [[knockoff]] of ''[[Diaclone]]'' Battle Convoy. Copies of these bootlegs have been reported since the mid-80s (a handful of [[Italy|Italian]] companies like Globo distributed them as back as far as 1987 <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/247808869499189/?multi_permalinks=374158430197565 A listing for the Globo-branded Generation 1 Optimus Prime knockoff, with the (Italy-based) seller explicitly referring to it as an import]</ref>), but if his copyright date is correct then it would only be in 1997 when this specific release would land on Korean stores.

: This figure features quite a few alterations from its original Diaclone tooling; like the truck windshield not being split in half, the left smokestack being replaced by a ladder, and the rifle being based on that of ''Dorvack'' Jeeps (AKA the later Generation 1 [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]]). He also lacks the Auto-Launcher in his Combat Deck, as well as his other accessories. His color scheme is also odd, with his red being less vibrant than the original and his legs and feet having two very obviously distinct shades of blue. A similar version to this release with nearly-identical packaging but translated into English also showed up in Canada during 1998, but this time bearing the name "Battle Supbot" without the Transformers logo and without any mention of Hasbro licensing.<ref>[https://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Knockoffs/G2/OptimusPrime1.html "Battle Supbot"] on toyarchive.com</ref> Some traits for his packaging design have also been seen on other bootlegs of Taiwanese origin.

: Considering the amount of times we've mentioned "bootleg" on this entry, it should go without saying that the authenticity of this mold as a genuine ''Transformers'' product is often disputed: more about this conundrum [[ToonTown|can be read on ToonTown's page]], but in short; despite his knockoff origins, this release is one of many toys distributed by the aforementioned company presumably under the licensing of Hasbro, and to this day there still isn't a consensus as to whether they ''actually'' legitimately did or did not have that license. Surprisingly, it isn't unseen in the ''Transformers'' brand [[Best Join|for a bootleg]] to be sold as an [[Radio AM Robot|official toy]], but this "Battle Supplier", more than any other ToonTown release, is on such a blatant level of sketchiness that it invites extra skepticism. Maybe not a red flag, but dark orange. Perhaps someday Hasbro will provide us with answers!

: Another South Korean ToonTown release with presumably official Hasbro co-branding, albeit one that oozes a more legitimate aura compared to the previous entry, this version of Optimus Prime - now adequately named - was actually manufactured under ToonTown's licensing by a different company called LALA Industry Co., which also produced a handful of ''Generation 2'' merchandise during this time. He's a fairly high-quality and accurate copy of his first 1992 ''Generation 2'' toy, bearing an all-new deco in black and white with red accents (that's surprisingly similar to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#CollabGB|a later Optimus Prime release]]), with his trailer and Roller also receiving a new dose of yellow to boot. His soundbox works, but now makes laser gun sounds rather than the infamous "I am Optimus Prime" voiceline - perhaps a change for the better, all things considered. And... He's also massively upscaled, with estimates suggesting that he's about 50% bigger than the original toy.

: As with the previous release, it is still up in the air whether or not this is an official toy. Considering that LALA seemed to be a more reputable company in general (they even had enough of a budget to run toy commercials advertising their ''Transformers'' merchandise during the 90s!) and that he features markings on the packaging seemingly promoting a national TV run of the ''Generation 2'' cartoon, the legitimacy of this Optimus Prime seems significantly more believable, but for lack of official Hasbro comment we cannot know with absolute certainty.

==''Beast Wars''==
{{Note|Very early in the life of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline (before the debut of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon), Hasbro treated the series as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and so Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime.}}

{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] is a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. It was packaged along with an alligator version of Megatron and a ''Beast Wars'' mini-comic.

:This figure was released during the short-lived period when Hasbro was treating the Beast Wars as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was also used to make the less ambiguous [[#AmazonConvobat|Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat]], the separate individual [[Convobat#Toys|Convobat]], [[Onyx Primal#Toys|Onyx Primal]] as well as inspire the comic character [[Nyx]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuichiro Hira]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped "mace whip" he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled "mega-blast missile" launcher. On his back were two more spring-loaded "mega-blast missile cannons"/launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:Just like Optimus Primal's basic bat toy, this figure was released during the short-lived period when the Beast Wars was still considered to be an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''[[TV Magazine]]'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''TV Magazine'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), and blue-fur (a ''[[Comic BomBom]]'' design-contest prize, only five awarded).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, 2 missiles

: Available only at [[KB Toys]], ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of the European Generation 1 exclusive [[Turbomaster]] leader [[Thunder Clash#Toys|Thunder Clash]]. It's easy to see why Thunder Clash was chosen to become the new Optimus Prime, given his adherence to Prime tradition: the truck cab disconnects to become the robot, while the trailer unfolds to become an assault tower with twin missile racks. On the original Thunder Clash version of the mold, the racks operated on a gravity-feed system where a new missile drops into the launcher from above each time one was fired, allowing for twelve to be fired in rapid succession using a pinball launcher style mechanism.
:For ''Machine Wars'' Prime, this feature had to be retooled [[for safety reasons]], sealing the gravity feed slot and cutting the original launcher plungers down to just the handles, which do not move. The small missiles were replaced with much larger new molds to prevent choking hazards and triggers were added to the sides of the launchers, becoming regular spring loaded (and unusually powerful) single-firing weapons. There seems to have been some disconnect between the deco artist and whoever handled the redone Thunder Clash [[sticker]]s, as some stickers replicate details already handled by paint on the figure. Not noted in the instructions is that the handgun is meant to serve as the drive shaft for the cab, storing between the legs on the backside. On a minor note, the redeco eliminates all [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|gold plastic]] from the toy, making it much more durable than Thunder Clash's original release.

: The [[package art]] for this toy is a retouched version of the art for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime (see above), but now positioned so one robot arm is always "off the edge" of the box and unseen - conveniently hiding the sword this toy has never had, yet leaving the Laser Prime faceplate intact.

: This version of the mold was planned to be [[redeco]]ed into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but the release was canceled.

:The first reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a Toys"R"Us exclusive. It was ''mostly'' identical to the original figure, save for some necessary modifications made [[for safety reasons]]. In the first instance of what would become a recognizable alteration to the mold, the toy's smokestacks were shortened. The Combat Deck's firing missiles were elongated to prevent potential choking, as was the case with all other Commemorative Series figures' firing missiles, and now plug into the Combat Deck via a "keyed" locking tab mechanism that reissues of the original figure continue to use to this day. This release also had the trailer's launching feature removed.

:In 2012, a reissue of the Commemorative Series toy was released. Though the "Commemorative Series" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name. The toy itself is a mix of different versions. The cab has the safety modifications of the original ''Commemorative Series'' release, including the shortened smokestacks and longer missiles (and thicker rifle), but also has the modified hitch of the 2011 ''Chronicle'' two-pack (see below). Meanwhile, the trailer features the lighter gray plastic colors used for the 2008 ''Universe'' release, and the Autobot insignias on the robot's shoulders are tampographed (like on Takara's ''Encore'' version and Hasbro's ''Universe'' 25th Anniversary release). This version also seems to suffer from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]].

:Marketed as a reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, this Toys"R"Us-exclusive Commemorative Series figure is in truth based on the Ginrai tooling on the toy that had previously been exclusive to Japan. It features a die-cast metal cab with translucent blue windows, and shortened, chrome smokestacks, and comes packaged with the drone [[Apex Bomber]] (formerly Ginrai's partner [[Godbomber]]), who splits into several components and combines with Prime to form "Apex Armor". As with all other Commemorative Series figures, Prime's new spring-loaded missile launcher featured an elongated missile.

:The figure was re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets in 2012, with no known changes to the figure itself but several modifications to the packaging that makes it easy to tell the two releases apart: The flap containing the [[package art]] is omitted entirely, the "Commemorative Series II" label is missing, the age recommendation and safety warning labels, the "Changes from double tractor trailer to battle station to super robot!" call-out and the name of the toy have all been shuffled around (with the words "battle" and "super" being omitted in the process), and most notably, the toy is no longer named "Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor", but simply "Optimus Prime", with Apex Bomber's existence no longer acknowledged anywhere on the packaging.

Additionally, Prime came packaged with a ring binder folder designed to hold the pull-out character file sheets that were included with all the other ''Transformers Collection'' reissues. Notably, this figure reinstated the original, thick version of Prime's rifle as the standard for all future Japanese reissues.

:''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime was produced for the stated milestone of the ''Transformers'' brand. So successful was the figure that ''ToyFare'' magazine ultimately ranked it #1 in their quest for "Best Toy Ever".<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/000054376.cfm ToyFare Magazine Best Toys Ever]</ref>

:Created with the specific purpose of producing an Optimus Prime as accurate to the original animated series as possible, the toy is exceptionally poseable compared to toys prior, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving [[mouthplate]] to emulate Prime's traditional method of speech, flip-up communications panels on the forearms depicting images of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], and an opening, light-up Matrix chamber in the chest, which contains a removable vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership that can also be pulled open. The Matrix is housed within a removable gray battery box which can light up the matrix core when activated.

:Optimus Prime comes with many accessories in addition to the aforementioned Matrix, including the character's traditional laser rifle, now termed (and henceforth known as) an [[ion blaster]]. The initial release of the figure cast the ion blaster in grey plastic, but later assortments recast it in its more familiar black coloration. Other accessories include a transparent orange energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when Prime's fist is retracted, and even a non-transforming gun mode Megatron weapon, with removable stock, silencer, and scope accessories, in homage to [[Countdown to Extinction (episode)|several]] [[The Insecticon Syndrome|instances]] in the Generation 1 cartoon when Prime was forced to wield his enemy. Pack-in bonuses that came with the figure included an inner cardboard tray illustrated to resemble the interior of Prime's Combat Deck, and in later releases, a small poster drawn by [[Pat Lee]].

:Optimus has a hidden sculpted mouth underneath his face mask, though attempts at removing the mask from the head may entirely damage the action feature.

:Takara's version of the figure was released in their markets slightly earlier, as the first of their long-running ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. In addition to coming with a cardboard trailer that the buyer could assemble to "complete" Prime's truck mode, Takara's release differed from Hasbro's by featuring longer smokestacks (kept short on the Hasbro version [[for safety reasons]]), and lacking the black scorch-marked "battle damage" paint applications Hasbro included on the figure's shoulders, wrists, and abdomen. In Western markets, the figure was intended to complement the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt Steve-o's OTFCC 2004 notes]</ref>

:This sculpt was redecoed by Takara into a golden Lucky Draw figure and later released in its original coloration with a trailer as a "Perfect Edition" (see below for both), while Hasbro would later redeco it into their ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-branded "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics 20th DVD Anniversary Collection|20th Anniversary DVD Edition]]". The mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and "[[Eldedroid|Convoy Black Version]]", representing one of many drones built in Prime's image, rather than Prime himself.

:In ''[[Transformers History Collection]]'', a [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] Transformers trading figure line, Takara released an add-on hand for ''Masterpiece'' Convoy as a [[Chase figure]]. The hand holds a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] figure and clips on to the end of Optimus Prime's arm, making the arm slightly longer than normal.

:Offered as part of a Lucky Draw campaign in August 2004, this extremely rare version of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is almost entirely vacuum-metalized gold, lacking any other painted detail or stickers. The parts which are not viable are molded in a flat golden plastic; the only exceptions are its rubber tires, the core of the Matrix and the energon-axe, which remain black, blue and orange, respectively. Whether or not the figure was intended to evoke Optimus Prime's [[:File:Goldenlagoon prime perceptor.jpg|entirely-golden appearance]] in the cartoon episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", when he was coated with [[electrum]], is unknown; given that entirely chroming a figure gold is a fairly standard deco for Lucky Draw figures, it may just be happy coincidence more than anything else.

:The figure comes packaged in the standard ''Masterpiece'' Convoy box, with the only telltale sign of its fabled contents being the replacement of the traditionally silver foil lettering on the box with gold. It's not clear how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than 10 or 20.

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:For this re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy, Takara submitted to the biggest desire fans had for the figure and produced a full-size, fully transforming plastic and die-cast metal trailer. The trailer opens up into Convoy's Combat Deck, with storage for its accessories and a functional repair drone, though Roller is conspicuous by its absence. Like the original Combat Deck, the drone can extend through holes in the roof and front of the closed trailer, and the interior has enough room to accommodate one ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' figure in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Some reports suggest that the paint on this figure's chest chips more easily than past editions. The red paint on the cab is also a slightly lighter color than on MP01.

:This version of Convoy, and Hasbro's 20th Anniversary DVD version of the toy depicts [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on its communicators rather than Bumblebee and Starscream.

:Continuating the trend begun by their previous release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus in 2005, Hasbro [[Australia]] released Convoy Perfect Edition as a Target Australia [[exclusive]] in 2008. Takara themselves then made the figure available for a second time in October 2009.

:Released by TakaraTomy as part of their ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#TakaraTomy Welcome to Transformers 2010 campaign|Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' anniversary line honoring the "future era" of the original cartoon (which was set in 2010 in Japanese continuity, you see!), this exceptionally morbid re-release of the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy figure recolors the Autobot leader in <s>blacks and greys</s> ''very'' low-saturated reds and blues, representing ''his dead body'' from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''—but don't worry, kids, it's actually a "sleep mode", according to the figure's name! Limited to 2010 pieces in Japan (see what they did there?), it comes with all its customary accessories, including the Perfect Edition trailer, redecoed where appropriate: the trailer itself has become translucent, its energon-axe is now transparent grey, and Megatron, in another movie homage, is rendered in translucent purple, evoking the scene depicting his transformation into [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]. The figure was also released in other parts of Asia as a limited edition of 2010 as well, combined with the Japanese edition for 4020 total. The Japanese version denotes "Serial Number in Japan: ####/2010" on its bio card with the number out of 2010, while the Asian version denotes "C1 - ####/2010" with the number out of 2010 on its bio card.

:This version of Convoy depicts [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] on its communicators.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-1L'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, sound stage

:"Convoy Last Production" was the final re-use of the ''Masterpiece'' toy mold before it was at last retired after numerous re-releases and redecos. The figure is essentially identical to the original Japanese MP-1 release, aside from a slightly brighter red, and the addition of the words "LAST SHOT" in Transformers typeface molded into the small of Convoy's back, hidden beneath its headlight-flaps in [[robot mode]]. Lacking the trailer of MP-4, the figure instead comes with a redecoed version of the electronic base included with Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]" of the figure from five years prior, which now features a collection of sixteen soundbytes of Convoy delivering famous lines from the Japanese version of the Generation 1 cartoon, recited by the character's original Japanese voice actor [[Tesshō Genda]]. The base was promoted as containing a hint as to the identity of the next ''Masterpiece'' toy; as it would turn out, this was a new version of Convoy himself (see below), foreshadowed by a sound clip on the base which played only intermittently, and which had Convoy announce that he would "soon be reborn".

:For its release in Korea, Hasbro Asia provided a [[collector coin]] featuring truck-mode Optimus Prime on one side and "MP-01L" on the other. The coin came mounted on a card featuring lineart of the Autobot leader's head, the stark black design of which could be mistaken for promoting the earlier "Sleep Mode" release. The limited release (and general lack of enthusiasm for the collector coins in Korea) makes this one of the more difficult Masterpiece coins to find.

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Junichi Akutsu]] (concept artist)}}

:MP-10 Convoy, advertised as a "perfect new model" on its packaging, is an entirely new tooling of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Convoy is now smaller, making him more in-scale with other recent ''Masterpiece'' toys, such as [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus]], and comes with a trailer and various accessories. While the front of the vehicle mode's cab is an accurate depiction of a mid-to-late-1980s Freightliner FLT cabover, the back half, (which is, as usual, made out of Convoy's legs) is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion. (So much that they sculpt a ladder on each side.)

:Many of the small features and electronics of the original ''Masterpiece'' mold are left out. Instead, this Convoy features better overall cartoon accuracy (chest interior, head, etc.), an extensive red paint job that covers much of his red plastic, corrected robot mode proportions, improved articulation, and its gun can now collapse and store inside a compartment on its back in either mode. In addition to Convoy's trailer, which can transform into Combat Deck, it also comes with Roller, a small Spike Witwicky figurine, a die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership (with a clear blue plastic center), and an energy axe that slips over Convoy's right hand. Spike can fit inside the cab in vehicle mode, ride in Roller's seat, or fit into any of the seating compartments inside Convoy's trailer. Roller has options to plug in Convoy's gun or pull Convoy's trailer, and the trailer itself can store Convoy's weapons in any mode. Although not easily breakable, care must be taken for posing the index fingers; extending the finger even far would cause it to pop off.

:MP-10 immediately became the gold standard in terms of scale for the Masterpiece line, with all subsequent releases being sized to best match him for nearly a decade.

:The trailer from this mold can be towed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|MPM-04 Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 8|Legendary Optimus Prime]] though this feature is undocumented on these toys.

:This figure was re-released in 2016, with the packaging now advertising the "Long Life Design" award which the ''Masterpiece'' line won that same year.<ref name="lldaward">[https://www.g-mark.org/award/describe/44648 Good Design Long Life Award: Transformers Masterpiece]</ref> This mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-10B Black Convoy]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

:An entirely new mold released to commemorate the brand's 35th anniversary, ''Masterpiece'' "Convoy Ver.3.0" is a much more complex and cartoon-accurate figure than previous releases. At 50,000 yen (approximately $450 USD), this Convoy had the highest MSRP of any mass-market ''Transformers'' toy until ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron|Unicron]]'s $575 price tag was announced.

:Alongside the Trailer (which retains the same function and can hold 4 standard-sized Autobot cars at a time when open), Roller, the Ion Blaster, Matrix of Leadership, and Energon Axe, the Combat Deck's base can be removed and with the new flip-out wheels, Roller (now cast in stark grey with silver rims) can tow it around. The cannon and arm section can also be removed so it can function as a flight stand, while an adapter for [[Dinobot (BW)#Masterpiece|MP-41 Dinobot]]'s display stand is also included, and the Ion Blaster now has 2 effect parts, which can simulate blaster fire and when used with the Sideswipe rocket pack included, can be used as booster flames. He also comes with a fuel hose like that on the original figure, as well as a soundbox feature that can be switched between recorded lines by the character's original Japanese ([[Tesshō Genda]]) and English ([[Peter Cullen]]) voice actors, with transformation effects (though the ascending and descending transformation sounds are spliced together in his English voice) and Douglas Walsh music to boot! As to note, Cullen's clips are closer to the recent [[Aligned]] portrayals.

:Like [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP36|MP-36 Megatron]], Convoy includes a battle-damaged head and an abdomen cover to replicate the war wounds in the climatic battle in the movie, and alongside a newly designed figure of Spike, he comes with two of Sparkplug and Carly, any of them capable of riding inside via 2 small doors on the side of the cab. A second alternate head is based on his head's rounder design seen in the first season of the cartoon and the Marvel Comics. His accessories can be stored in the trailer's removable undercarriage.

:This figure, with the included intakes and alternate head in place, also doubles as [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP44|Starscream]] from "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]".

:Unfortunately, Convoy has been known to suffer from differing quality control issues. Because of a design flaw, certain plastic parts in his lower ratcheted knee joints tend to build stress during movement and eventually break. Furthermore, grey and yellow paint in parts that tend to get scratched and bumped during transformation have been prone to paint chipping. Some units have come with their [[For safety reasons|soft plastic]] ear antennas on different heads warped in-package. The human minifigures can have their ball-jointed limbs rather easily popping out of their sockets and misassembled (in this case, Carly with her groin part in reverse from the front).

:Unlike MP-01 and MP-10, this version of Convoy did not get a fully localized Hasbro release for English-speaking markets. However, it is being imported by Hasbro through numerous retail outlets with additional branding using the localized Optimus Prime name and presumably with the same Hasbro-branded slipcover and English safety sheet given to other contemporary ''Masterpiece'' releases. In Canada, the figure is being released as an EB Games exclusive, where he'll cost even more than the game consoles sold there! Hasbro's online product description neglects to mention the voice box gimmick, possibly due to English-speaking audiences' unfamiliarity with Japanese ''Transformers'' media and the fairly late reveal of his English-language voice clips.

:This mold was redecoed as [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Black Convoy]], with the sound gimmick removed, and without the trailer, battle damaged, and Starscream parts.

:The trailer from this mold can be towed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#MasterpieceMPM12|MPM-12 Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (One)#BraveCommander|Brave Commander Optimus Prime]], though this feature is undocumented on these toys.

:As reported by TakaraTomy's employees at [[Cybertron Con]] 2024, this Optimus has [[Shelfwarmer|sold poorly during its debut]], which stems from his complex transformation and possibly design flaws.

:Released in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''Masterpiece'' MP-44S Optimus Prime is a redeco of "[[#MP44|Convoy Ver.3.0]]", featuring colors based on the [[#The Transformers|original ''The Transformers'' toy]]. Among the heaps of accessories included with the original release of Convoy, Optimus retains only his Ion Blaster (with its beam effect), Energon Axe, and the more rounded head styled after season 1 of the cartoon (here passing the squint test for the toy head). These accessories are the same as MP-49, but now includes the Transformers power base stand adapter. New for this release is a sheet of stickers to reproduce the, erm, sheet of stickers, included with ''The Transformers'' Optimus Prime. As with the previous trailer-less [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#MP49|MP-49 Black Convoy]], the soundbox has been neutered for this release.

:This redeco has noticeably different tolerance changes, with the joints being much tighter than both MP-44 and MP-49. Also unlike MP-49, the entire figure is painted albeit in a lighter, more resistive coat compared to MP-44. The "round head" was given blue eyes (a change from the promotional photos). With the adjusted tolerances in mind, the clips that hook the leg-stored cab panels into the gas tanks have been removed.

:Instead of the standard "Convoy" of Japanese releases based on older media, this toy uses the "Optimus Prime" name. It is explained as a name made popular by Hollywood movies—referring to the [[live-action film series]], which does not change character names in Japanese localization.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' toys, "G1 Convoy" (as he is amusingly referred to even in fiction) visibly takes some design cues from ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime, featuring a similar sculpt, but sharing few to none of the larger toy's other attributes.

: G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round 3 mm-compatible holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with ''Robotmasters'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Beast Convoy]]). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

: Due to being molded in translucent plastic, the waist section is prone to breakage, so exercise some caution.

{{toydesigner|[[Shōji Kawamori]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: ''[[Hybrid Style]]'' Optimus Prime is an ''insanely'' detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a ''Transformers'' figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode.

:Prime is loaded with a ridiculous number of features and accessories. The robot itself is highly poseable, and both the smokestacks on Prime's shoulders and the fuel tanks on his legs can be rotated forward to act as guns, even featuring sculpted detail to this effect. As ever, he comes with a trailer that opens up into his crazy-detailed Combat Deck, featuring more action features than ever before. In trailer mode alone, it features a flip-down support stand so it can stand alone, a spring-loaded pop-out ramp instead of a fold-down one, and when the trailer is split for transformation, the traditional support legs underneath automatically swing out into place. The trailer houses most of Prime's accessories, including his ion blaster (with a moveable ammo clip to allow for multiple poses) and energon-axe, as well as his classic gas pump accessory, now with a poseable wire instead of a rubber hose. Two fold-out compartments provide storage space for six of Prime's interchangeable fists, while the other two remain attached the robot: two clenched, two open, a pointing right fist, a tilted left fist (for holding the ion blaster's ammo clip), and two fists with slots to grip the miniscule Matrix of Leadership that fits in a tiny chamber in Prime's chest. The Combat Deck's artillery robot features two flip-out handles that Prime can grip as if aiming the drone's guns, and Roller is also included, with three different 3 mm ports to hold Prime's gun and gas pump. Lastly, Prime comes with a rocket pack like those used by the Autobots in such Generation 1 cartoon episodes as "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1|Dinobot Island]]", and a stand shaped like the Autobot insignia that allows him to be displayed in mid-air, as if in flight. The rocket pack also has 3 mm ports for Prime's weapons, and stores on the front of the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Purchase of a ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime at a Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] store allowed the buyer the option of also purchasing the exclusive ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|Hot Rod]] toy.

:The toy also received a Hasbro release 11 years later under the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#YOTR2017|''Platinum Edition'']] line.

:Available exclusively through e-HOBBY, this black and teal repaint of ''Hybrid Style'' Convoy features the traditional "[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]" color scheme, but represents a version of Optimus Prime himself. In addition to all the original accessories, the toys also includes several more deliciously metatextual goodies, themed around the ''Generation 2'' toy and comics: two new large guns patterned after the new weapons wielded by the ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy, and two additional (blue) Prime heads that can be swapped with the figure's regular noggin, sculpted explicitly in the style of [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]] artist [[Derek Yaniger]]. One head is pristine, the other decorated to match the battle damage seen on the cover of the [[War Without End!|first ''Generation 2'' issue]].

:As the more franchise-savvy TransFans may realise, these extra parts, plus the black trailer of Convoy Black Version, can all be used to modify the original, red ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime into a comic-accurate ''Generation 2'' version, complete with a black trailer, trailer-mounted guns and your choice of Yaniger-style heads.

:This figure came in a unique box, packaged with a [[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version|mini-comic]], both illustrated by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]].

{{toydesigner|[[Steve Bono]] (Hasbro)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his [[robot mode]] body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

:This figure was originally conceived by Hasbro to be another character (exactly who is unknown), rather than Optimus Prime, but Takara insisted that the toy be made into Optimus to help it sell well in their markets, as the vehicle mode was no particular draw, given its scarcity in Japan. Reportedly, the figure cost twice as much as other Alternators to construct, so Hasbro had to bow to this demand so Takara would help fund it. Ironically, Takara eventually wound up soliciting the figure ''not'' as Prime, but as his ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)#Transformers: Super-God Masterforce|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] (perhaps connected to the Powermasteresque headsculpt), before its Japanese release was cancelled and moved over into the ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' toyline (see below).

: It took two further years, but this figure was eventually released as part of the Japanese counterpart to the ''Alternators'' line (''Binaltech'') in 2008. ''Binaltech'' Convoy features some additional paint details, like his silver pelvis, additional patterns on his shoulders, and red paint on his engine-gun, and like all ''Binaltech'' figures, he also includes die-cast metal pieces. Unlike previous Binaltech releases, a bio-card was not included.

:This sculpt was also used to create ''Alternators'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''Alternators'' Optimus Prime. While the figures may appear similar at first glance, given that ''Kiss Players'' Prime is still red, blue and black, there are many subtle differences, not least of all the replacement of the ''Alternators'' figure's bare, flat red plastic with a deep metallic red paint. Several of his body parts are cast in different colors of plastic (for example, his shins, formerly black, are now blue, while his formerly-blue hands are now black), and he features more intricate paint applications on his shoulders, and especially his pelvis, which is decorated to look like Prime's traditional bumper.

:In addition to the small engine-pistol of his ''Alternators'' figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the ''Kiss Players'' figures, Prime also comes with a [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|''Kiss Players'' radio drama]], as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, "[[Someday, Beneath the Sun]]."

:This set was originally intended to be released under the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line, as "Black Convoy meets Marissa", but this release was cancelled before it was officially even announced.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster]], display stand
{{toydesigner|[[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

:Released in the first wave of ''Titanium Series'' 6-inch Cybertron Heroes figures, this figure is based on Optimus Prime's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] form as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic book "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]". Prime transforms into a comic-accurate Cybertronian truck in a few steps, and his ion blaster can be slotted in the back of the truck mode cab for storage.

:The figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: the word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his silver ion blaster. The paint on the handle of his ion blaster scuffs rather easily when placed into his hands.

:As a ''Titanium'' figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. For that reason, the tiny insufficient clips that hold his shoulders in place are highly prone to breaking off, leaving his shoulders floppy and unable to be secured in robot mode. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

:In [[robot mode]], his wind vane transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon. The toy has a trailer hitch but does not come with a trailer.

:Unfortunately, the yellow paint on his forearms tends to flake off.

**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist)}}

: ''Classics'' "Ultimate Battle" Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class figure and transforms into a flat-nosed truck cab. The figure is armed with a tommy gun-shaped laser rifle that transforms into a turret-like configuration and mounts on the rear of his truck mode, and features a spinning "power punch" action that sees the whole upper half of his torso spin when a button on his back is pressed. Pressing the button "unlocks" the spinning mechanism; pull ''hard'' on the button, and you can lock the torso back into place.

:In the United States, Prime was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Megatron toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (the DVD was instead made available separately). In addition, Mexico, Singapore and some European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also received the two figures on individual cardbacks. For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and re-released in [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'']]-branded packaging later in 2007, available from Dollar General, Big Lots and [[KB Toys]], and ''again'' in [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']]-branded packaging in 2011, this time available from Dollar General and Big Bad Toy Store.

:This figure was later ''also'' made available without redeco as part of the "Leader for the Ages" two-pack released under the [[#Transformers (2007)|live-action movie line]] (see below) and saw several redecos for [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'']] ("Special Edition", below), ''[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' ("Sons of Cybertron", below) and [[#United|United]] (below).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (20th Anniversary DVD Edition, 2006)

: Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and its release on DVD by [[Sony]], this edition of Prime is a redeco of his ''[[#Masterpiece|20th Anniversary]]'' figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

:Prime comes with all the accessories of his previous release, although his ever-changing ion blaster is now somewhat confusingly cast in blue plastic. He features one major additional accessory: an electronic display base sculpted with the image of the Matrix and the Autobot insignia. Pressing the insignia's crest triggers a series of electronic soundbytes, mostly quotes from the movie recited not by original actor [[Peter Cullen]], but by Hasbro's in-house actor, [[Ron Hayden]]: "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City," "Megatron must be stopped!", "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck," and two samples of the classic [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]], one ascending, one descending.

:The display stand itself was later redecorated as a mail-in prize for Takara Tomy's "[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]" promotion, was intended to be used with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Convoy]] from "[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]", and was also redecorated in the "final production" run of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toys and as an Optimus Prime voiced stand for the Second Prize in the [[Arms Up Campaign ]].

**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, ion blaster, trailer

:Inspired by the [[#The Transformers|1985 promotional version]] of Optimus Prime that featured Pepsi stickers on his trailer, this outlandish incarnation of Prime is a slightly altered version of Takara's 2005 [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure (which represented a different character to Prime). The figure was only sold by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] at various conventions, and given away as a promotional prize by Pepsi, via their [[Mountain Dew]] brand.

:A redeco of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime cab robot sporting an egregious number of Pepsi-themed paint masks and details, Pepsi Prime's differences from Pepsi Convoy are minimal: he features the shortened smokestacks previously seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release of the mold, the blue pattern on his decals are different (matching the American Pepsi can/bottle look at the time rather than the one used in Japan), and also has a different layout for the Pepsi logo on his left shoulder. Like Pepsi Convoy, he comes with an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry either a single 500ml (16.9 oz) size [[soft drink]] bottle, three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). In a first for the Prime mold, the figure's fists store in holes on the underside of the trailer while he is in vehicle mode. His ion blaster (which also stores under the trailer) is the first Hasbro reissue to feature the original, thick-barrel sculpt, which was reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' release of Prime a few years prior.

:Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products, ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Convoy transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In [[robot mode]], he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This figure was, in fact, the ''only'' mold in the ''Sports Label'' line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create ''Sports Label'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]]''

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, but it did include the original, thick-barrelled version of Prime's rifle, as reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' version of the toy a few years prior. Both his blue and red plastics are lighter than normal, though not to the extent of Hasbro's subsequent 25th Anniversary release.

:Notably, this edition addresses the small but persistent issue of the Autobot insignias on Prime's shoulders: Ever since 1984, applying the stickers evenly had been a challenge due to small bumps the figure's shoulders are textured with. Like the [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure released two years prior, ''Encore'' Convoy replaces the stickers with [[tampograph]]s.

**''Accessories:'' Trailer/iPod dock, 2 fists (left and right), ion blaster

: Hot on the heels of their licensing deals with Pepsi and Nike, TakaraTomy got themselves a slice of Apple™ pie and released Convoy —playing [[iPod]] speaker— as part of their small, musically-themed ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' line. This version of Prime is an all-white redeco of the original Generation 1 cab robot, which (much like the "Marine Version" of Prime from the ''[[#Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' line) makes it seem like he ought to be Ultra Magnus. The figure is actually even derived from the retool of the mold created for the original Ultra Magnus figure, as distinguished by the elongated hubcap pegs on the front wheels. Like Pepsi Prime before it, the figure's fists now store in peg holes on the under side of its trailer. The toy lacks any of the original Prime's stickers (even the silver stripe on his chest is now a [[paint operation]]) and includes the original thick-barrelled version of Prime's blaster. The toy features a brand new headsculpt based on the [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] Prime figure, given additional poseability not previously seen on the figure by being mounted on a [[ball joint]].

:This, of course, is all secondary to the main draw of the figure: it pulls an all-white trailer, which transforms into a working iPod speaker dock by rotating a substantial wedge of its full length 90 degrees . The dock features three working buttons; power, volume up and volume down, as well as an Autobot sigil indicator light. Included is a wall-plugging (Japanese) A/C adaptor with a long lead that plugs into the reverse of the trailer. Although American importers shouldn't have too much trouble, those living in parts of the world using higher strength A/C current outlets should be warned NOT to simply plug the A/C adaptor in with only a socket adapter, as this will overload the device and fry it completely. Buying the appropriate kind of universal A/C adaptor with advice from an electronics specialty shop is recommended.

:Designated "Optimus Prime" rather than the traditional Japanese "Convoy", this figure is a redeco of the previous ''Music Label'' Convoy figure into the character's traditional red, blue and silver color scheme. Unlike previous re-issues of the mold, iPod Optimus Prime's sports a paint application similar to KissPlayers Convoy, having its ABS/PVC parts painted over with a thin layer of his iconic red, white (silver if you will) and blue motif paint applications (with the exception of his iPod docking trailer). This includes his trailer, though the effect is somewhat marred by the large, visible gap on one side. When reconfigured into dock mode, the interior surfaces surrounding the speakers are decorated with black-on-silver techno-patterns as well as three "Optimus Prime" logos. The recessed space also features a stylised, almost [[Frank Miller]]esque, high-contrast portrait of Prime's face, although this is largely covered when an iPod is inserted. The figure comes in identical packaging to the original ''Music Label'' Convoy, save for the addition of a sticker illustrating the different color of its contents.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Rounding out a bumper year of Japanese-[[exclusive]] Generation 1 Optimus Primes, the Takara-licensed Kawada brand ''Diablock'' Convoy is a fully transformable [[LEGO]]-style block building figure similar in premise to the earlier American ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets. The ''Diablock'' figure, however, easily outstrips the ''Built to Rule!'' sets by both being an accurate representation of the toy on which it is based, and being able to transform between modes ''without'' having to be partially disassembled and put back together first.

:Forming a roughly 11-inch figure when fully assembled, ''Diablock'' Convoy is highly articulated, save for his head, which is only able to move up and down. Said head is also by far the most stylised aspect of the figure, with no real attempt to approximate Prime's face or mouthplate, instead featuring only a reversed block that gives the odd impression of a cycloptic eye. It is possibly intended to actually represent his forehead grill, as a yellow block inside his head construction remains barely-visible through a slit in his face, possibly intended to represent the classic toy's yellow eyes.

:The figure's [[transformation scheme]] is based on the original G1 figure, the only differences being that the fists are not removed but become the headlights, and instead of flipping backwards inside the chest, ''Diablock'' Convoy's noggin flips forwards with the aid of opening chest windows. A "laser rifle" in the shape of his ion cannon can be built from black bricks, and stickers bearing the Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] can be placed on his shoulders, although this is not recommended as it is designed to permanently stick to multiple tiles which dislodge easily and may damage the sticker.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei! Transformers]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime. He features a significantly altered colour scheme, generally to make the toy more closely resemble his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon and the original toyline. His truck mode features less silver paint striping, but compensates with a [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] grill/fender area. In [[robot mode]] all of his previously grey plastic is replaced with red plastic, with a majority of it being painted silver, chromed, or painted gunmetal gray. He features a different shade of red, blue, and clear blue plastic than the Classics version. Since ''Henkei!'' toys do not feature a heat-sensitive rubsign, ''Henkei'' Convoy has two Autobot sigils tampographed onto his shoulders.

:Sold at the rather exorbitant price of $75, this re-release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is actually one of the most visually different from the other "straight" reissues of the mold, despite Hasbro's assurance that this is the toy you had as a kid. Positively ''anemic'' in comparison with the original toy, this Prime's red parts are visibly paler than usual, while his blue parts are much lighter (although the version released at Canadian retail reportedly sports a deeper shade of red again). This shade of blue extends to both Roller (a lighter blue than his traditional dark shade, yet darker than the lightest the figure has been in its history) and the internal workings of his Combat Deck, which is itself a much flatter shade of light grey, compared to its normal dark, swirled metallic silver color. In addition, the toy features the now-customary shortened smokestacks, and the elongated missiles seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release, while the Autobot insignias on his shoulders are no longer stickers, but rather tampographs, like on Takara's ''Encore'' release. While all reissues of the Prime mold since 2003 have used the original thick-barreled mold for his ion blaster, this version includes the slender sculpt instead.

:As a 25th anniversary set, Prime includes several new pack-in bonuses: a reprint of the [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the original [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comic book]], a DVD containing all three parts of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] pilot [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|"More than Meets the Eye"]], and three desktop wallpapers, and a battery-powered Autobot symbol that plays transforming sound effects, part of the first version of the ''Transformers'' [[theme song]], and three voice clips performed by Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobot, transform and roll out!" and "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." There are some reports that the Autobot symbol could be worn out or damaged during the time of purchase.

:Outside the United States, this set was available in a thinner rectangular box. It contained all the original accessories from the American release, but not the DVD. An English-only version of this packaging format was available in Asia and Australia (initially only available at Myer stores, but later also at Toys"R"Us, Kmart and Target, eventually at drastically reduced prices), while a bilingual English/French packaging variant was available in Canada, still including—though not advertised on the packaging—the (English only) comic book.

**''ID number:'' '''A-01'''
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}

:''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Convoy transforms into a 1:32 scale 2007 Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm. In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, this figure specifically represents the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Story of Binaltech|Optimus Prime]] of [[universal stream]] [[BT World|Primax 903.0 Beta]].

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:''Alternity'' Convoy was simultaneously available in both this silver coloration, and a deco based on his traditional appearance termed "Vibrant Red" (see below). The figure was later redecoed to create "[[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Alternity 2|Convoy [Super Black]]]" (representing not Optimus Prime, but ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]]), ''Alternity'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Alternity|Ultra Magnus]], and ''Alternity'' [[Dai Atlas (G1)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]].

: Part of the sixth wave of ''Transformers'' Deluxes (the second and final wave of ''Reveal the Shield''), this Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#LaserOptimusPrime|see above]]). Transforming into an International 8200 truck, he has some influences from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus Prime]], including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic [[robot mode]] proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a [[light-piping]] effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he's part of ''Reveal the Shield'' and features a [[rubsign]], this time on the roof. He is also ''very'' articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ''and'' [[Swivel joint|hinged]].

: The original Hasbro [[Stock photography|stock photos]] depict him as having red [[paint operation]]s on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.

: Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a [[design flaw]], inferior plastic quality, or both: due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate [[5 mm post]]s, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually ''breaking'' on either location thus far.

: This toy was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#BotCon2012|Optimus Prime]] and ''Timelines'' [[Scourge (RID)#Timelines|Scourge]], and was retooled into ''Timelines/Shattered Glass'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]].

:The third ''United'' Optimus Prime toy is a redeco and slight retool of the [[#Transformers (2010)|Deluxe Class figure]] from Hasbro's 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline, itself an homage to Prime's ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|"Laser" form]]. The toy features translucent blue plastic as opposed to Hasbro's orange, red paint is used on the biceps instead of blue paint, extra red paint applications on the knees like the original's sticker detail, and more broken-up red apps on the shoulders. Silver detailing was added to the cab mode on the grill, the bumper, and near the doors. The blue plastic in cab mode is now black plastic to make the figure more accurate to the ''Generation 2'' original. The gray plastic is changed from the Hasbro version to more closely match the [[#G2reissue|2006 reissue of Laser Optimus Prime]]. Black paint was applied to the cab mode to mimic the fade from red to black on the original Laser Optimus, but still includes a flame deco like the Hasbro version, only in a different design. It lacks the roof-mounted rubsign of the Hasbro version, instead including Autobot insignias on the cab doors. (Disappointingly, they are Generation 1 insignias, rather than ''Generation 2'' ones!) Additionally, a retool was made to the peg on the inside of his right shoulder, to make it shorter and wider than the Hasbro version, allowing it to move freely without hitting the torso, unlike the Hasbro release.

Prime's [[bio]] apparently explains that he took on this new color scheme in order to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks, in response to recent attacks by some new Decepticon forces pretending to be Autobots.

*'''G1 & Movie Sōshireikan Set''' (multi-pack, 2011)
**''ID number:'' '''CH01'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster|Laser rifle]], trailer

:This reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure comes in a two-pack with the Deluxe-Class ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime figure]]. Prime himself is almost identical to the ''Encore'' release, save for his trailer hitch which was retooled to allow a peg to be inserted within it while still being able to be inserted into the trailer itself (making it compatible with his G1 trailer and the new trailer included). Like the Encore release, he features lighter colors and tampographed shoulder symbols (which vary slightly from the Encore release).

:His original trailer is not included with the set; instead, he comes with [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|a new deluxe-scaled trailer]], not available with any other figure, based on the one towed by Prime in ''Dark of the Moon''. The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5 mm post|5 mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

:Oddly, for their official [[stock photography|promotional photography]], Takara took an existing photo of Optimus Prime's robot mode that was at least a decade old, having previously been used as a very early (and inaccurate) illustration for Hasbro's then upcoming ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' reissue of the figure.

*'''Matrix Optimus Prime''' (2011)
**''Pieces'': '''10'''
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

: Intended to be [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2011]], this redeco of the regular Optimus Prime Kreon has an open chest showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] within. He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand.

: We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in ''loads'' of other places—it was handed out at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), as a free gift on the cover of the ''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]'', and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the [[United Kingdom|UK]] children's comic, ''[[Doctor Who]] Adventures'' (but not the UK's [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers comic]], you'll note!).

:A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see below). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''30689'''
**''Pieces'': '''542'''
**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on Generation 1 Optimus), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

: The smaller of the two Optimus Prime kits in year one, this version is based more on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|original Optimus Prime]]. The small cabover-style tractor-trailer truck build is solid, unable to seat any Kreons inside. The robot mode is heavily restricted in its articulation, with no knees, and only single-direction-swivel elbows and shoulders.

:This is one of the few ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets to not come with any Kreons whatsoever, the other being the similarly-sized [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)#74pc|Bumblebee]] kit.

His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreons, based on the [[#The Transformers|original Optimus Prime toy]]. His "normal" helmet (and small sword) are [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]], plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable large rifle, a buildable wing-pack, and a ray pistol (originally an [[Andorian]] blaster from ''Kre-O Star Trek'').

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984". This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online after the convention, but as the set sold out at the show, that never happened.

: Released in the third wave of "Brick Box" sets, and found only at Dollar General stores, this version of Optimus Prime uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face and torso tampographs are new.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year Sideswipe set (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to make whatever with.

: Part of the first wave of "Battle Changers", this version of Optimus Prime is a ''severely'' built-up Kreon that transforms from truck into a robot and back without removing any parts! However, the sheer chunkiness of his limbs hanging off a Kreon torso make for awkward positioning and questionable balljoint grip strength.

: Like the rest of the Battle Changers, he was available in selected Asian countries in December 2014. These sets only appeared in the US through closeout chains like Ross and TJ Maxx in 2015.

:This version of Battle Changers Optimus was only available in a two pack set with [[Megatron (Kre-O)#Battle Changers|Battle Changer Megatron]]. He is ''largely'' the same construction as as the single release, but has numerous small differences. He uses a new "double harness" piece on his torso instead of using two harnesses, leaving more space for his head to grip the neck-post, and his chest/windshield parts are each a single clipped "flag" part rather than the multi-part assembly of the single-pack. And of course there's the additional trailer, which doesn't have any official robot mode rebuild, and only loosely "connects" to the truck-mode Optimus by being lightly hooked to a single short bar on the back of Optimus's right leg.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). Another is based on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]] (Soundwave helmet), and the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?

:[https://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=400&size=1&image=29 First shown at New York Toy Fair 2015], the Mini-Con Combiners were apparently cancelled without fanfare... a decision that must have come late in the day, as they went on to star in their own promotional animation, "[[Stuck in a Tree]]", released about eight months after the trade show.

:''[[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (franchise)|Transformers GT]]'' "GT-R Prime" is a heavy retool of ''Alternity'' [[#Alternity|Convoy]], transforming into a 1:32 replica of the Motul Autech GT-R race car used by the {{w|Nismo}} team in the {{w|Super GT}} racing championship series. He retains the flip-out blasters of the ''Alternity'' toy and can also wield his new Impact Wrench Gun accessory (also called the "Optimus Rifle" on the ''Transformers GT'' website), a weapon based on the impact wrenches used in car repairs. Like all ''GT'' toys, Prime also comes with a [[GT Sister]], poseable human figures themed after {{w|race queens}}, his partner being a lady named Misaki.

:GT-R Prime's packaging points out that he can be fitted into ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime's trailer to replicate the way actual race cars are transported.

:This mold was also used, with different heads and accessories, to make the other ''Transformers GT'' toys: [[Star Saber (G1)#GT|GT-R Saber]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Megatron]], and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#GT|GT-R Maximus]].

:As with all [[Construct-Bots]], Optimus Prime's rubber ball joints on the shoulder and feet can harden over time, which makes it difficult to pose smoothly.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Battle Upgrade, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''18'''
**''Accessories'': Missile-launching rifle, missile, energy axe, cannon, left & right rocket pods, "Ultra Magnus" right forearm & fist
:Part of the first wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Optimus is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

:He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

:While he is the same size as a standard Hero Masher, his larger [[size class|price point]] is made up for with a lot more parts and gimmicks. Both of his hands are removable, which allows for accessories to be placed in his wrist sockets, notably his iconic "energy axe". His rifle is a spring-loaded missile launcher. He also comes with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Ultra Magnus]]'s right arm, which is a [[redeco]] of ''Hero Mashers'' [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Bulkhead]]'s, only molded to remove that toy's missile-launching gimmick.

**''Accessories'': Missile launching cannon, missile, sword, shield, bladed shield, electronic left forearm, bladed left fist, torso armor, left & right winged "launchers", left & right armor boots
:Part of the first (and only) wave of larger electronic ''Hero Mashers Transformers'' toys, the base Optimus Prime figure in this set is ''almost'' identical to the above "Battle Upgrade" toy; this version has a closed right fist that can hold accessories rather than the Battle Upgrade version's finger-pointy one.

:However, this set comes with a completely different (and much larger) pile of accessories to turn Optimus (or any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure) into a hulking armored warrior. He comes with an extra left forearm with an electronic light, used to light up clear-plastic accessories when they're plugged into his wrist socket. Several of these accessories take inspiration from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]]'s gear, notably a very ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''-esque shield.

:Oddly, the big stompy boots accessories are designed in a way that Optimus is really far back in them, leaving a huge gap between his shins and the boots' "knee" guards. Presumably this is to accommodate other ''Hero Mashers'' toys with much larger footprints.

Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the sword that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the sword.

:Legion Class Optimus Prime has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] repleaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Russia. In Singapore it was released together with [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]] as part of the promotion for ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' in selected cinemas.
:This figure was made available again, without any changes, in 2015, this time in new packaging resembling the then-concurrent packaging design for the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia., and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

**''Accessories'': Weapons, 4 Gun/Fist/Foots
:Takara's iteration of ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus Maximus is sold in a gift set including all five Autobots (minus the Rodimus mold). This version of Convoy has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Like ''Unite Warriors'' [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|Menasor]], the set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Convoy for increased stability. He also had the slightly modified pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack, Runabout, and Runamuck) can securely attach to, which was previously used for Battle Core Optimus Prime. The tampographed Autobot insignia on the roof/flip-out head joint is now re-positioned to his side truck panels.

:Compared to the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' release]] of the mold, Convoy features additional paint operations on the thighs, truck bumpers, the details on the inner legs, the gestalt chest halves (which are now painted over due to being molded in grey plastic), and the gestalt torso's lower section. The stomach's deco is also minimized, and the silver paint operations on the lower legs are now replaced with gunmetal while the mute metallic blue is now shiny metallic. When it comes to unpaintable plastic; his knee joints and feet are blue while the majority of the shoulder joints are now red. In addition, his gestalt skirt flap is now molded in the same grey color, and the leg panels and thighs are now molded in black, with the latter being painted in silver with some yellow details. As the thighs are painted, care must be taken while transforming him in both modes, as they're somewhat prone to paint scraping. To minimize the damage, the two rear halves must be opened first to transform the legs.

:Despite the ratchet fix, however, Convoy is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to several design failures attributed to his torso mode. The square holes and tabs used to secure the arms together when in torso mode are too weak to remain locked in place (though a very small number of copies can secure the arm well), and are prone to falling out of position should an attached arm be moved. The torso mode's skirt plate is also attached to the stomach rather than the pelvis, rendering the waist swivel nearly worthless due to the skirt obstructing articulation.

:Released in the first wave of the [[Transformers Authentics|''Authentics'']] toyline, "Autobot Optimus Prime" is roughly the size of a 2015 [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Mini-Con Battle Packs|''Robots in Disguise'' Battle Pack]] toy. He changes from an [[evergreen]]-inspired robot into a more G1-based truck in just four steps. His instructions are incorrect; for truck mode, his legs must be folded in before the arms, otherwise the locking tabs on the arms will get in the way. Due to his transformation, he ends up with no elbows and a fake chest. He also has problems standing up due to hollow legs.

Bizarrely, his calves are mostly unpainted ''except'' for his vents which are painted blue, in an apparent inversion of the usual color scheme.

His vehicle modes are both adorned with the "''fūrinkazan''" kanji from Ryu's belt: 風林火山 ("as fast as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as daring as fire, and immovable as the mountain"). He transforms from robot to tanker truck to plane and back. Both vehicle modes have "cockpit" areas to seat any [[Titan Master]] (or compatible) figure. Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager class figures, he has built-in mechanisms to "bulk up" his noggin. In his case, these are spring-loaded pylons. The smaller Headmaster's robot mode is also painted to resemble Ryu.

This set was available for pre-order on [[TakaraTomy Mall]] from [[November 22]] to [[November 27|27]], 2017, with orders fulfilled in late May 2018. A pre-order goal was also set: if at least 3000 units were pre-ordered, the set would also come with clear display stands for both toys.

:This two-pack was later brought to the West in 2022 as part of the ''[[Transformers Collaborative]]'' line, released as a [[Target]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] exclusive in the United States.

[[File:Robosen_Optimus_Prime_stock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|This isn't your slightly older brother's [[Automorph Technology|automorph.]]]]
*'''Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Robot''' (2021)
**''Accessories'': carrying case, laser rifle, energy axe, non-removable exhaust pipes, wall charger, micro USB to USB 2.0 cable

:[[Robosen]]'s Optimus Prime is a highly interactive, programmable transforming robot. With over 5,000 pieces, 60 microchips, 27 servo motors, 6 high-intensity [[light-emitting diode|LED]]s, 80 different sound effects including voice clips from Peter Cullen, a dedicated iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, and a pricetag of $750 USD, it blurs the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics." Users can choose between multiple ways to control its robotic movements: including pre-programmed voice commands, pre-programmed app controls, or user-created movement scripts. In truck mode, it can drive as directed or honk its horn. In its [[#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]-influenced 19"-tall robot mode, it can execute a long list of included scripted actions featuring voice and sound effects, plus an infinite variety of user-programmed poses and user-scripted movement sequences. It has distinct attack movements and sounds to be used with its weapons, and has flip-out wrist communicators featuring sticker images of Megatron and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]].

:The main power source is an internal rechargeable lithium ion [[battery-powered motor|battery]]. The truck's front bumper flips down to expose the charging port and the separate micro USB interface port. A replaceable CR 1220 3V battery powers the "laser rifle's" LED; it's not really a laser, but it's bright. The instructions say don't look straight at it.

:In voice command mode, the spoken user command for conversion between truck and robot modes is officially supposed to be "[[Trademark#Genericized trademarks|convert]]," but secretly the toy will respond the same if you say "transform." It also responds to more than 30 other simple words and phrases which trigger other animations and basic functions: such as: "turn left" to turn left, "move right" to step to the right, or "hero" to strike a superheroic ground-punching pose. 6 months after launch, the Robosen software developers were still releasing new movement animations and firmware updates via channels that can be found in the official app, with no announced end date for their continuing improvements.

:27 servo motors might sound like a lot, but compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing hundreds and hundreds (''and hundreds!'') of dollars less, this item does lack some some pretty standard joints: such as neck rotation, wrist rotation, and thigh swivels.

:Although this Optimus Prime does mostly transform on its own, there are some additional manual adjustments required to make each mode look the way it's advertised. In robot mode, one red panel can be removed from the back of the head, and the gas tanks can be moved into a lower position on the legs. If the gas tanks are not lowered, they can protrude enough to obstruct animation. For vehicle mode, the removable red panel should be reattached, gas tanks moved back so they don't cover the wheels, and the side-view mirrors can be flipped out.

:In truck mode, especially via app control, Optimus is a fully functional remote control vehicle that can move forward, backward, and turn. Its steering does not happen the way real trucks do when they tilt the axles of the front wheels within their wheel wells; Instead, Optimus turns by throwing both legs simultaneously to one side or the other, which gives the appearance that the entire cab is pivoting around a central axis.

:In robot mode, Optimus' default idle behavior is not to stand perfectly still. Instead, he will slowly "breathe" with a subtle inhaling/exhaling motion like a human would have after aerobic exercise. From there, he will occasionally shift into other statuesque poses.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Optimus is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:None of the toy's motorized joints are capable of supporting substantial weight without electricity. This means that when powered off, the robot cannot stand upright without external support. If the toy is in robot mode and senses its batteries are getting low, then to prevent a damaging fall, it will automatically shift into a droopy squatting pose that it can safely sustain while powered off. The average operating time from a full battery charge is approximately 40 minutes. The charging port is not accessible while the robot is standing up. Plugging in the charger while the toy is powered on might endanger fragile components.

:Yes, the above means that this toy in effect cannot be displayed in robot mode when not in active use. It can't really be displayed in the proper truck mode either, as the robot legs need battery power to stay rigidly locked into truck configuration and will droop when turned off. It is rather clearly intended to remain in its protective carrying case most of the time.

:Aside from the laser rifle, none of the LED lights in the eyes, headlights, or tail lights can be deactivated while the toy is powered on. In robot mode, the brake lights shine brightly from the backs of the feet, and the headlights shine from within the forearms. Some of the pre-programmed actions exploit this deliberately, by having Optimus brandish his bright headlights as flip-out weapons. The laser rifle's LED turns on and off with its own physical switch.

:Many of the pre-loaded animations assume Optimus is holding his gun in his right hand and/or that he is holding his axe in his left hand. The toy has no sensors to detect whether those accessories are in place, and the app does not consistently label which animations use accessories. It also does not label the many animations that might damage the toy if attempted while accessories are attached, but <s>transforming</s> converting him or punching the ground would be a bad idea. So don't activate any animations while the accessories are attached unless you're sure you know what will happen.

:In addition to action/fighting/greetings animations, there are also many silly animations available from the official download page, including: Air Guitar with the G1 cartoon theme song, air drumming, a gyrating silent "Christmas" dance, doing push-ups then getting exhausted and passing out, and the {{w|Dab_(dance)|Dab}}.

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences: such as a head nod, a full mode conversion, or vehicle driving commands.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Prime's knuckles and feet will instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users report toppling issues due to a ''lack'' of traction.

:The sound effect for Prime's gun is of a distinctly "realistic" machine gun, and Hasbro has stated this effect may be changed.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/22623017/optimus-prime-transformer-auto-converting-programmable-robot-hasbro-robosen Review of Robosen Optimus Prime] mentioning the sound effect choice</ref>

:Accurate 3-D images of this Robosen toy appear throughout its app interface, but the app also decorates prominent buttons with drawings of ''[[Evergreen]]'' Optimus. The app and manual also contain many mistakes in spelling, grammar, typography, labeling transposition, etc.

:This item was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in April 2021, and began shipping to purchasers in October 2021. The TakaraTomy release of the figure is unchanged, though the dialogue is swapped from English to Japanese with [[Tesshō Genda]] reprising his role.

:A ''massive'' (and similarly pricy) [[Combat Deck (G1)#Robosen Collector's Edition|auto-converting trailer]] with [[Roller (G1)#Robosen Collector's Edition|Roller]] was later released to pair with this Optimus, as well the powered [[Flight stand#Robosen|Robosen AI Base]] which allows for prolonged display in robot mode.

:The first ever collaboration between [[Hasbro]] and one of its main competitors, [[LEGO]], 10302 Optimus Prime is a fully brick-built model of the Autobot leader standing 13.5 inches tall, released under LEGO's ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Icons|Icons]]'' theme. Unlike (most of) Hasbro's ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets that preceded it, this ''LEGO'' Optimus Prime set is fully transformable from robot to truck mode without having to disassemble any parts.

:A tall, top-heavy model, stability concerns mean he is not as articulated as a normal action figure, notably lacking bending knees. He includes an optional waist piece for fans to either display him with the Generation 1 toy-accurate truck bumper or the cartoon-accurate yellow block-shaped detail. He also includes a (then) brand-new piece for his [[mouthplate]] (named the ''Slope, Curved 33 2 x 2 Double / Inverted'' on BrickLink, with the item number being #1762), which has since gone on to be used in plenty of other LEGO sets.

:Prime comes with a plethora of brick-built accessories. He includes his ion blaster, his "Energon axe" (which can plug into either wrist once you remove the fist), a pink "Energon cube", the "Autobot Matrix of Leadership" (which can be stored inside his chest), and a jetpack based on the one he borrowed from [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]" (which can be attached to his back). Aside from the Matrix, only the ion blaster has dedicated storage when Prime is in truck mode, fitting between his legs to form the truck's trailer hitch; according to a small trivia blurb in the instructions, this is because the ion blaster was the only accessory in the set that was also included with the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy. Of course, this is LEGO we're talkin' about, so if you want, you can store the rest of the stuff on him anywhere you see some exposed studs!

:To round things out, an ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Ultimate Collector's Series|Ultimate Collector's Series]]''-styled display plaque featuring Optimus Prime's name (in both English and Ancient Autobot), function, motto, and [[Tech Spec]]s is included.

:Optimus Prime's [[Instructions|instruction booklet]] contains a short segment written by none other than LEGO Senior Designer [[Joe Kyde]], which showcases the history of the ''Transformers'' brand and the character of Optimus Prime. Unfortunately, said instructions also contain an assembly error: the stickered details on Prime's thighs are applied upside down compared to the Generation 1 [[character model]]. This error is also present on the [[stock photography]] on the packaging. Fortunately, the panels can be removed easily and reinstalled in the correct orientation for a more accurate robot mode. The aforementioned blurb also contains an amusing compromise—giving up on any attempt to reconcile Optimus's famous catchphrase and the need to protect Hasbro's ''Transformers'' [[trademark]], it renders the iconic command as [[:File:Convert and roll out.jpg|"Autobots, ''convert'' and roll out!"]]

**''Pieces'': '''237'''

:Released as part of LEGO's ''BrickHeadz'' theme of [[super deformed]] characters (a line launched by the Danish brand in 2016 as a competitor of sorts to [[Funko Pop!|Funko Pops]]), this set includes two builds of Optimus Prime, one in his robot mode and another in his vehicle mode, both of which can be built and displayed separately. Unlike LEGO's previous Prime, this model features a color scheme closer to the cartoon design rather than the toy. Like the rest of the ''BrickHeadz'' toyline, he features no stickers, with all of his details being printed onto the pieces instead, which comes in rather handy for LEGO MOC designers who might want to reuse the many little windows and insignia included in this set. The sides of his head feature a pair of 2x2 round tiles with Autobot insignia, something that did not appear on said cartoon design but, again, certainly helps with MOCs.

:Optimus has no accessories and, as customary with ''BrickHeadz'' toys, no articulation to speak of, but is very proficient at just standing cutely! The truck on the other hand, can be popped off the base and rolled around!

:A common gag across BrickHeadz toys is the inclusion of pink bricks within the structure of their heads, suggesting the characters' brains.

*'''Optimus Prime Set'''
**''Release Date'': June 30, 2022
**''Accessories'': Blaster, "[[Flight stand#Official Transformers flight stands|Tenseg Base]]"
:This uniquely branded ''Anti-Gravity Pedestal Tenseg Base'' release of Optimus Prime is a redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Ultra Magnus]]'s inner robot. Optimus Prime comes with a silver "Tenseg Base" which he can attach to, simulating a "floating" pose. Optimus Prime retains ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''/''Kingdom'' Ultra Magnus's blaster accessory, colored in a darker metallic gray in a possible attempt to emulate Prime's usual [[ion blaster]].

:Unusually for TakaraTomy, the vehicle mode stock photos are slightly mistransformed - the upper body isn't slid all the way forward, which makes the truck grille appear misaligned. Also, the Hasbro Pulse listing of the figure labels it as a "[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'']]" figure, likely because the figure's box comes sheathed in a ''Masterpiece'' branded sleeve.

:Sold separately are two alternately colored bases; one in heroic Autobot red and the other in '''EVIL''' Decepticon purple. Initially due for release in March 2022, Prime and the bases were eventually released on June 30.

:In a happy accident of cross-compatibility, Tenseg Base Optimus Prime can be equipped with the armor and alternate head included with ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Ultra Magnus]] to replicate the [[:File:RedCabPoweredConvoy.jpeg|red cab variant]] of ''[[Diaclone]]'' Powered Convoy released in [[GiG]]'s short-lived ''[[Trasformer]]'' {{sic}} toyline, minus Super Buggy.

:''[[Canon/Transformers]]'' Optimus Prime is a roughly Leader Class-sized figure that transforms into a fully licensed Canon [[EOS R5]] digital camera. The toy is 80% the size of the genuine article and features a removable lens attachment, though it must be reattached to him before he can transform to robot mode since it forms his head and arms. The lens cap is removable and is used as a shield in robot mode. His included [[Matrix of Leadership]] can be pegged onto his lens, just behind the front element. He also comes with a small version of his own camera mode.

:Both his Matrix and small camera accessory can be pegged into his palms. His hands feature a range of movement, with the thumb and index finger being articulated and the remaining fingers joined together.

: Produced in collaboration with Japanese space agency {{w|JAXA}} and {{w|Toyota}}, Lunar Cruiser Prime is a roughly Voyager-sized figure that transforms into the as-of-2023 current version of Toyota's "Lunar Cruiser" concept for an enclosed lunar rover, in part to promote TakaraTomy's own unmanned "SORA-Q" rover, which successfully deployed on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in January 2024 (after some delays). The large solar panel can tab onto the tube on the left side of the vehicle, or be folded in half and tucked away inside the vehicle's back end. The round roof-mounted antenna is on an adjustable armature. Despite not including any hand-mounted accessories or weapons, the figure features 5 mm compatible fists as well as hinged knuckles, allowing the hands to open.

: In robot mode, Prime can hold the solar panel like a shield. Both the shield and radar dish can attach to the adjustable "smokestack"-like assemblies on each of his shoulders, leaving his hands free. A [[Matrix of Leadership]] can also be spotted molded into the drivers' compartment.

:The figure was made available one month ahead of its general release on Japanese crowdfunding site Campfire in four tiers:
::* A version identical to the general release.
::* A package including a modular ''Masterpiece'' style stand.
::* A package with a thank you message on the TakaraTomy website, available to 40 people.
::* A package with a personal thank you message from [[Tesshō Genda]], the iconic original Japanese voice of Optimus Prime available to 10 people.

: The campaign opened at 10 AM on [[June 8]], 2023 and ran through midnight on [[July 17]]. Within the first 24 hours it blew past 300% of its initial 1 million JPY (approx. $7200 USD) goal. This toy was also available through [[Hasbro Pulse]], due to ship on [[June 30]] 2024... but other US-based outlets began shipping them in early March of 2024.

**Accessories: Laser Rifle, Energy Axe, [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], [[Trailer|Container]]/[[Combat Deck (G1)#Toys|Combat Deck]], [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Roller]], 4 Missiles, Fuel Pump, Nozzle and Hose
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy),<ref name=Gens24>[https://www.soundwavesoblivion.com/techspecs/interviewhironorikobayashi.html Interview] with [[Hironori Kobayashi]] on the ''[[Missing Link]]'' toyline for ''[[Transformers Generations 2024]]'', translated at Soundwaves Oblivion</ref> [[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist), [[Shin Ueda]] (packaging artist)}}<ref name = "Missing Link">Article on Missing Link Convoy in [[Figure King]] issue 308 (September 2023), p109</ref>

:Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers'' brand, ''[[Missing Link]]'' Convoy's appearance is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' toy—but with the benefit of forty years of advances in toy engineering. It retains almost all of the original toy's [[gimmick]]s, and adds a bunch more.

:Although superficially identical to the vintage figure, its engineering has received a total overhaul to add a load of new points of [[articulation]]. Compared to the original, the toy boasts [[ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet]]ed elbows and knees, hinged knuckles, wrist curls, ankle tilts, a deeper forward bend for the feet, double-jointed outward shoulder motion, universal joints at the hips (with the wheels now folding out on skirts to accommodate outward leg motion), along with a neck [[Swivel joint|swivel]], a limited waist swivel and even an ab crunch! Unusually, the toy's [[instructions]] specifically demonstrate how to make use of all these new points of articulation. Where the original toy famously had [[Partformer|detachable]], easy-to-lose fists, this isn't the case with this modern update; the new, slightly smaller fists tuck neatly behind the grille (as with many other modern takes on this basic transformation scheme), revealing a pair of headlights — instead of holes — in the process. To facilitate the vast improvements to the lower body articulation and to help support the legs in truck mode, the toy foregoes one of the most iconic steps in the original transformation — where swinging the truck bed down causes it to separate into the legs — instead mounting the hips on individual [[slide joint]]s that must be carefully wiggled apart past a bracket in the middle first. These intricate plastic components are surrounded by heavy die-cast parts, and the thigh swivels in particular can be extraordinarily tight on some copies, which makes posing the legs feel ''precarious'' to say the least! We would advise maintaining a firm grip on the red sliding brackets and die-cast hips, as close to the joint being moved as possible, to prevent any excessive leverage being applied.

:All of the original accessories are included with this revamped release, plus some extras. The [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s launching mechanism has been nixed, in favor of allowing the repair drone to detach from the trailer and roll around on its own wheels. [[Roller (G1)|Roller]] (colored silver, not blue) has a new hinge to allow the port for the [[ion blaster]] to rotate out of sight, being replaced with a painted red light detail (harkening back to its appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]") . Roller's wheels and the toy's missiles are packed still attached to their [[sprue]] just like in the old days, complete with an extravagant spare set of missiles. The fuel pump, hose and nozzle are included basically unchanged as three separate parts but are in fact new tooling. In addition to these classic parts, the toy also comes with brand new accessories [[show-accuracy|inspired by the character's animation appearances]]: a chrome-gold [[Matrix of Leadership]] (which fits in his chest, like the similar accessory included with the older "[[#NewYearConvoy|Special Specification]]" release), and a transparent [[energon-axe]] which clasps shut over either hand. The ion blaster now features two [[5 mm post]]s to allow him to grip it normally, or even hold it with both hands thanks to his new articulation, and features a revamped sculpt based on the vintage accessory's earlier "thick" barrel variant (which informed the gun's animated depiction). A special chrome-silver mounting piece for the Matrix sits behind the truck windows, but can be removed to reveal the classic seats for smaller ''[[Diaclone]]'' figures.

:The toy has the classic Autobot [[rubsign]], [[rubber tires]] (with the classic real-world "[http://www.ewillys.com/2021/03/16/desert-dog-history-and-ads/ Desert Dog Formula]" brand), [[die-cast]] parts, and features all the same [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] surfaces as the vintage toy. The details of the original [[sticker]]s (on the arms, knees, and toes) have been fully molded into the plastic and picked out with paint—but the toy ''also'' comes with a direct recreation of the original sticker sheet anyway. The toy also comes with a marketing insert, a collector's [[card]] (with, oddly enough, a small hole punched through the top), and a [[Tech Spec]] decoder for reading the graph printed on the back of the [[packaging]] alongside the classic back-of-the-box mural. Everything is neatly presented using a polystyrene tray. For this release, the illustrator of the toy's original Japanese [[package art]], [[Shin Ueda]] (credited in English right on the new box!), was commissioned to produce a brand-new piece based on the iconic transformation-into-midair-leap pose from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Ironically, though the toy is finally capable of reproducing the ''original'' boxart pose, the engineering of its waist rotation means the ''new'' pose is impossible!

:Since the trailers are nearly identical in shape, the sound effect module from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy]] is compatible with the trailer of this release, though the module can't connect to Convoy's robot mode back.

:Although entirely a [[TakaraTomy]] initiative, the ''Missing Link'' toys were made available directly to Western fans via [[Hasbro Pulse]], sold under the name Optimus Prime. The toy kept its longer smokestacks and fully-functional firing missiles, which Hasbro had shortened [[for safety reasons]] in prior releases.

:In addition to the anime edition Convoy below, this toy was also redecoed to make ''Missing Link'' [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Missing Link|Sentinel Prime]] and [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Missing Link|Nemesis Prime]].

:A more affordable release of the ''Missing Link'' Convoy toy was sold without the trailer. This version of the toy goes for [[show-accuracy]], omitting the various paint applications intended to replicate [[sticker]] detailing, painting the toy's eyes blue instead of yellow, swapping the blue plastic for a slightly brighter shade, and picking out an [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] in fine white outlines solely on the left shoulder. Unlike Hasbro's contemporaneous ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' reissues, which similarly aim to use clever deco work to bring the original G1 toys closer to their animation depictions, this release keeps the chrome, instead of using a dull silver plastic.

:The toy still comes with its ion blaster (with a gunmetal paint application on its vent), energon-axe, and Matrix (now painted in animation-accurate metallic orange and silver); the Matrix housing is left as bare black plastic. A smaller sticker sheet is also included for [[customizing]] options—much like the one for the full release, but omitting all the trailer stickers. Three small yellow stickers are provided to replicate the waist/bumper details from the cartoon character model. The paperwork included is similar to the full release.

: ''Reactivate'' Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a post-apocalyptic armoured truck, based on his appearance in the cancelled ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' video game. Optimus was only available with [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Reactivate|Soundwave]]. He comes with the usual Optimus accessories; an ion blaster, an energon axe that can fit over either fist, and a removable Matrix of Leadership (a repaint of the Matrix included with ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Optimus Prime).

: Optimus suffers from a [[design flaw]]- the handle on his ion blaster is far too short, resulting in an extremely loose grip. His torso can sometimes be tough to tab in properly because of tolerance issues, resulting in a conspicuous gap between his chest and abdomen; leaving the folded truck roof parts on his back untabbed will allow the rest of the torso to fit correctly while not affecting the toy's general articulation and functionality.

:A very surprising addition to this page, ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]'' Optimus Prime represents [[Hasbro]] licensing one of its direct rival toy companies, [[Mattel]], to sell a "proper" transforming Transformers action figure.

:Revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2024, ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' Optimus Prime is yet another reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy, though it's now done in cartoon accurate colors, with a white pelvis and thighs. Notably, the need to reconcile the gray stripes on either side of Prime's robot mode abdomen and an animation-accurate stripe-less truck mode has resulted in truck mode stripes that abruptly end halfway down the cab. The truck cab has the long smokestacks, though the [[stock photography|toy photographs]] on the box depict short smokestacks.

:For the first time [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|since the 2008 ''Universe'' toy mentioned above]], this reissue also includes the trailer.

:Unique among most modern ''Transformers'' figures, Basara Prime possesses ''four'' modes: a robot that blends elements of Optimus and the Valkyrie together, a fighter jet, "GERWALK Mode", a staple ''Macross'' mode that sees the robot mode's arms and legs deploy from the jet; and a crumpled-up "Vehicle Mode" inspired by Optimus' usual truck mode, complete with a ''very'' [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]]-y trailer for him to haul. In robot mode, the trailer unfurls to assume "Live Stage Mode", essentially a mini-rock concert stage, complete with speakers and a microphone.

:Revealed as part of the inaugural T-SPARK LIVE streaming event, "Evangelion Unit-01 × Optimus Prime" is a retool of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' "[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#BBfilmLegendary|Legendary Optimus Prime]]" in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. The toy is roughly Leader Class-sized, and in this iteration has been retooled to have a new chest, pelvis, biceps, head, and—replacing the original's shoulderpads—shoulder pylons, all to evoke [[Evangelion Unit-01]]. The toy's face-swapping gimmick has been retained, now with one face resembling the standard Unit-01 and the other face designed to evoke it in its [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Berserk "berserk"] state, complete with a hinged jaw!

:In addition to the original toy's Ion Blaster accessory, Evangelion Unit-01 × Optimus Prime comes with a Matrix of Leadership with a smooth crystal representing an Evangelion's [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Core Core] (with a similar detail sculpted on the inside of the chest), two blades hybridising [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Dual Energon Swords]] and an Eva's [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Evangelion_Melee_Weapons#Progressive_Knife Progressive Knife], and a two-handed axe weapon with a handle evoking the [https://wiki.evageeks.org/Spear_of_Cassius Spear of Cassius].

===Before he became Optimus Prime===
[[File:PrototypeTHB.jpg|thumb|Not so Optimus Prime.]]
*The first prototype for Battle Convoy, the ''[[Diaclone]]'' originator of Optimus Prime, was vastly different from the final version, complete with an entirely different transformation and a car carrying trailer. The head lacked the faceplate.
*A later prototype/mock-up was much closer to the final product but still has some noticeable differences, such as a head with much larger antennae, longer smokestacks and a front grille section that includes the rectangular section that would sport the "Freightliner" logo on the real-life truck (on the final toy, the rectangular section is part of the hinged upper section that includes the windows). It would have also been possible to attach the [[ion blaster]] to either of his shoulders.<ref name="diaclonecatalogs">[https://web.archive.org/web/20151017201739/http://1501bc.com/pretf/pictures/tfdiac6b.jpg Diaclone catalog scans] at 1501bc.com.</ref>
*The toy that would ultimately end up as the original Optimus Prime toy was originally released in August [[1983]] as No.17 Battle Convoy from Takara's Diaclone Car Robo toyline in Japan. In [[1984]], [[Joustra]] released their own version (still with ''Diaclone'' sticker on the trailer) as part of their Diaclone line in Europe, either simply called ''Truck'' (according to the pack-in catalog) or ''Diaclone'' (in the pack-in comic). It's possible that [[GiG]] also released a version called ''Camion Convoy'' as part of their ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy, but to this day no packaged sample has surfaced.

===The many releases of Optimus Prime===
[[File:SeveralG1Convoy.jpg|thumb|Too much Prime on my hands.]]
Over the years, the [[#The_Transformers|original Optimus Prime]] has been repackaged and reissued multiple times:
*In the US and Canada, limited edition promotional versions were available sporting Pepsi stickers; the Canadian version has large Pepsi stickers that cover the entire trailer, while the US version only has small Pepsi stickers that partially obscure the lines running across the trailer;
*In addition to the standard Japanese 01 Convoy release, Takara also released the toy as part of the [[#VSX|VSX Convoy vs. Megatron]] two-pack in [[1985]];
*Takara released a variant sporting clear blue windows and as part of the "[[#goodbye|Good Bye Convoy]]" set (packaged with [[Red Alert (G1)#Toys|Alert/Red Alert]] and [[Mirage (G1)#Toys|Ligier/Mirage]]) in [[1986]];
*Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) released the toy in Europe in late 1985, following a slight delay due to licensing issues;<ref name="mbtfs">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-5/ "The Jetfire vs Optimus Prime mixup"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref> there are no less than ''three'' variants of MB-packaged Optimus Prime, one of them manufactured by Takara and sporting blue feet, the other two manufactured by [[Joustra]] as part of a deal with Hasbro/MB, one of them with blue and the other one with red feet;<ref name="3mb">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/the-three-mb-optimus-primes/ "The Three MB Optimus Primes"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>
*After Hasbro's European division had changed the packaging from "MB" to "Hasbro", the toy continued to be available in 1986, including more of the Joustra-manufactured red and blue feeted versions, which were apparently also available in the UK in English-only packaging;<ref name="3mb"/>
*[[GiG]] released the toy as ''Commander'' as part of their ''Transformers'' line in Italy in 1985, including an all-plastic variant in 1986;
*[[IGA]] released their version in Mexico in 1985; unsold stock was later imported to a plethora of European countries, including the UK, with Optimus Prime having the yellow paint scraped off his eyes and then having them painted over in red;
*Hasbro reissued the "Original Autobot Leader" toy as part of their European ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line of reissues in [[1991]];
*Hasbro released a [[#Generation_2|redecoed version with additional accessories]] as part of their [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' line]] in [[1993]];
*Takara reissued the original toy in its original 1985 Japanese packaging in [[2000]], with an all-black recolor being available from assorted Japanese conventions and another variant with gold instead of silver parts, stickers, and paint as a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] prize;
*Takara reissued the toy again as ''New Year Special'' version in January 2002, sporting clear blue windows (similar to Good Bye Convoy) and featuring additional accessories such as a Matrix necklace and a [[Show-accuracy|show accurate]] recolor of the Action Master Optimus Prime figure;
*Hasbro reissued the toy in the US and the UK as part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Generation One Commemorative Series]]'' line of reissues in [[2002]], sporting shortened down smokestacks [[for safety reasons]], with longer missiles and modified missile launchers for the Combat Deck;
*Takara reissued the toy once again in [[2003]], as part of their ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues, numbered 00 and featuring additional accessories such as an energon axe;
*Takara released a recolored version featuring a new trailer in December [[2005]], called ''[[Pepsi Convoy]]''.
*Hasbro released their own version of Pepsi Convoy, named "[[#PepsiPrime|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]", as a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive in [[2007]], featuring the familiar [[For safety reasons|safety]]-shortened smokestacks of the Commemorative Series reissue.
*In August 2007 TakaraTomy yet again did a rerelease similar to the 2000 Convoy rerelease, this time as part of the "[[Transformers Encore]]" line. This version has a new rifle with a longer handle so Optimus can finally hold it straight.
*TakaraTomy released [https://web.archive.org/web/20080329084648/http://seibertron.com/advertisement.php?id=8 "Convoy iPod Docking Bay with Speakers"] in September 2007.

*In March [[2008]], TakaraTomy released a G1-colored version of the iPod Convoy set.
*Hasbro released the ''25th Anniversary'' gift set edition detailed above in 2008, as part of the 2008 ''Universe'' line, once again with [[For safety reasons|shortened smokestacks]].
*TakaraTomy released another reissue based on the ''Encore'' version as part of their ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' line in 2011, lacking the original Generation 1 trailer. Instead, the ''Chronicle'' version was available in a two-pack with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime]] and a new trailer that could be used by both Optimuses, thanks to a retooled trailer hitch on the Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure.
*In 2012, Hasbro reissued Optimus Prime again for their Asian markets, this time mixing the 25th Anniversary version of the toy itself with the older ''Commemorative Series'' packaging.<ref name="25thcomm">[http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=44388 "Bad news RE: new Commemorative Prime"] at Cybertron.ca.</ref>

===Powermaster Optimus Prime design history===
[[File:EarlyPMPrime1.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|Overcompensating.]]
{{multiple image|image1=EarlyPMPrime2.jpg|image2=EarlyPMPrime3.jpg|width1=115|width2=150}}

[[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime, being the grand toy rebirth of Optimus Prime post-movie, apparently received a lot of thought during the design process. Prime went through an inordinate number of design changes from concept to final with at least three very major revisions:

*The earliest version, as shown in the first patent application for the toy, was to have the Prime cab be a triplechanger, turning from truck cab to jet or robot.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19880604&CC=JP&NR=S63132686A&KC=A Patent #JP63-132686]</ref> The nosecone of the jet and robot legs were released by the Powermaster lock in the same fashion as the legs in the final version. Optimus would have had winged arms in non-super [[robot mode]]. The super robot mode's head was also integrated into the trailer's hitch... and lacked a faceplate.

*The second known version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p22, p106</ref> ditched the triplechanging gimmick on the cab and simplified things a good bit. This Powermaster Prime has several distinct characteristics only seen in the second design, such as the wider "block head" and two faux smokestacks on top of either shoulder as opposed to one. Also, in a rather odd twist, this design features a black head and fists for both super and regular modes rather than the traditional blue. It also had yellow eyes in either mode a la the original Optimus Prime.

*The third version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p106</ref> would quite possibly have been the most gimmick loaded Transformer in the history of the line, simultaneously being a Powermaster, [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], and [[Triple Changer]]. The Headmaster also would have been a Triple Changer, turning into a sort of armored four-wheeled rover (Roller II?) and robot as well as a rather silly looking Optimus Prime head with four vertically aligned wheels jutting off the sides. It seems that when the extra Headmaster gimmick was scrapped, the super mode head remained separate rather than being reintegrated into the trailer hitch such as on the earliest design. Notably, the body of this design is extremely close to the final design.
*A fourth version is shown in the 1987-88 Transformers product catalog that has several minor differences from both Powermaster Prime and [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]], such as having God Ginrai's sliding fists but in red, a completely different trailer hitch assembly partially based on the third design, an offset Autobot symbol in base mode, extended feet also based on third design, far more detailed super mode outer leg panels, completely different front bumper, and the first instance of single faux shoulder smokestacks rather than two. It is still unknown as to why Powermaster Prime has completely different arms from God Ginrai or all earlier concept versions.

Powermaster Prime's animation model as used in the commercials and as a character guide for the Marvel comics is a composite of the second and third designs. The body of the model is actually a straight tracing of the concept lineart for the third version (including its different rifles and twin faux shoulder stacks), with a slightly simplified drawing of the second version's head drawn on top.

===Miscellaneous Primes===
[[File:EarlyActionMasterOptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=.5]]
[[File:Early Star Convoy Planning Stage.jpg‎|thumb|left|I am the prototype of the toy of the future!]]
[[File:PMHeroTrace.jpg|thumb|Stealing purses across the ages.]]
*The preproduction version of Action Master Optimus Prime (featured in catalogs and on his [[Power Plans]]) used a darker blue closer to the 1984 toy and had upper legs painted grey. Amusingly, the mold also originally had longer smokestacks that were presumably trimmed down for safety or breakage issues, which would become something of a running theme with Optimus Prime toys.
*The ''Return of Convoy'' pack-in catalogs show Star Convoy as originally having silver paint on his vehicle mode and robot thighs, mirroring the similarly-colored parts of the original Optimus Prime design. However, the Star Convoy released at retail instead used bare white plastic, possibly as a cost-saving measure (as ''Transformers'' was rapidly losing popularity in Japan at the time). When Takara reissued the toy years later, it restored the originally-intended silver of the prototype.
*''Return of Convoy'' catalogs reveal the planning process behind Star Convoy's evolution from gimmick-rich illustration to prototype before reaching final production.
*The pose used for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#HeroOptimusPrime|Hero Optimus Prime]]'s [[package art]] is rather blatantly swiped from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Powermaster]] [[#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]'s package art.
*On a similar note, ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]'s package art is merely edited from ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s card art, keeping it mostly intact save for the removal of shoulder kibble and the addition of a non-windowed chestplate.
*The Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy was featured in a [[:File:Optimus prime nokia 6820.JPG|print ad]] for [[Nokia]] {{w|Nokia 68xx series#Nokia 6820|6820}} phones in December 2004.<ref name="nokia">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/20th-anniversary-optimus-prime-featured-in-nokia-a/4374/ "20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Featured in Nokia Ad"]</ref> He is posed bent over to look at the phone and scratching his head. Pleasantly, ''most'' of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un-[[Customizing|kitbash]]ed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy. (The real toy can't bend forward at the waist like that, alas.)
*''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime]] was initially intended to be Deluxe-sized. An alleged list of the tentative ''Classics'' line-up<ref name="classicslineup">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/possible-transformers-classic-line-up-4336/ Rumor] about the ''Classics'' lineup that turned out to be spot on aside from Voyager [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and Deluxe Optimus Prime.</ref> included a Deluxe-sized Optimus Prime without a trailer and a version ''with'' a trailer at the Voyager [[size class|price point]]; however, it appears the decision was eventually made to upscale Optimus to Voyager size instead.<ref name="sage">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/cybertron-crosswise-redeco-and-transformers-classics-info-4683/ "Cybertron Crosswise Redeco and Transformers Classics Info"] (via [[Joe Kyde]]'s proxy "SAGE2764")</ref> Don Figueroa's [[control drawing]]s for the Deluxe version were leaked before the ''Classics'' line was even released at retail.<ref name="primecontrol">Leaked ''Classics'' Deluxe Optimus Prime control drawings: [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-design-sketch-4691/ Vehicle mode], [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-robot-mode-design-sketches-4692/ robot mode]</ref> A gray model [[prototype]] was later shown as part of an interview with [[TakaraTomy]]'s staff in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1|Transformers Generations 2009 vol. 1]]''.<ref name="ttinterview">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/general-articles-25/translated-version-of-the-takara-tomy-transformers-henkei--classics-staff-interview-167073/ Translated TakaraTomy Henkei/Classics staff interview]</ref> It's unclear whether the trailer ever made it past the early planning stage before the size of the figure was changed.

:''Cordon is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Japanese portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:TrainWars PoliceSunstreaker.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|No, no, no, I don't mess with computers, okay? Ever since I died of dysentery on the Oregon Trail, I was like, no thank you. I'm done with this.]]

'''Cordon''' (コルドン ''Korudon'') is a reserve trooper<ref>Given in Japanese on the ''Masterpiece'' and ''Missing Link'' packaging as ''zaikyō senshi'' (在郷戦士) and in English on the former as "reserve trooper"</ref> afflicted with a glitch that causes regular memory loss. Born in an ancient era of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Cordon's regular amnesia has frequently stripped him of any judgment of right or wrong, but has granted him one gift: the skills inscribed in his body systems from the multitude of different personae and experiences he has lived through. Among his expertises are the detoxification of [[iron habu]] venom, the improvement of dynamo repairs, and even cooking an exquisite feast for harvest festivals.

But such a renaissance 'bot also attracts the attention of the [[Decepticon]]s...<ref>''Masterpiece'' MP-42 Cordon profile</ref>

==Fiction==
===Train Wars===
When [[The Fallen]] attacked [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the hopes of merging with [[Vector Sigma]], [[Overdrive]] sought additional help using the power of his [[Quantum Dial]]. Further empowering the dial with the help of the Oracle, Overdrive reached across space and time to recruit a policebot of [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]'s body-design and other inter-dimensional warriors. {{storylink|Train Wars}} The Fallen assumed a combination form, however, and managed to impale the reinforcements using energy spikes. [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], the [[Trainbot]]s, the [[Sixtrain|Train Team]], and the [[Sixliner|Liner Team]] soon arrived to turn the tide, and the Fallen was ultimately defeated. In the aftermath, the dimensional travelers were returned home by the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibot]]s. {{storylink|Train Wars 2}}

===''Masterpiece'' toy bios===
The bot later known as Cordon hailed from the era when the inhabitants of Cybertron overthrew their [[Quintesson]] creators. In the aftermath of this revolution, Cordon was among those who tested the process of transferring into a new "second generation" body of the robots' own design. {{storylink|Crosscut (G1)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Crosscut profile}} As part of the upgrade process, Cordon's data was backed up in the information storage of the [[Diadem]] testing facility, {{Storylink|#Toys|''Masterpiece'' Cordon profile}} but a bombing attack on the fortress by the [[Liegemen]] faction saw many "G2" bodies stolen {{storylink|Crosscut (G1)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Crosscut profile}} and left Cordon wandering the stars with damaged memory banks. As a result, he would periodically lose all memories accumulated up to that point, although he still subconsciously retained any skills he had acquired.

Eventually, Cordon encountered the Autobots on a battlefield, and was recruited into their faction. During training, Cordon was accused of aiding the enemy and participating in violent acts, but subsequent investigation revealed his memory issues. Deeming him incapable of moral judgment, the Autobots gave Cordon the relatively light sentence of 300 years of community service as the lone reserve trooper on a planet newly settled by [[human]]s. He was given a Lamborghini Countach vehicle mode for this assignment, and gained the name "Cordon" for the glowing police blockades he would create with his arm-mounted "Isolation Light". While the human settlers were initially wary of such a seemingly green soldier, Cordon's wide-ranging skills managed to overturn their first impressions. His accomplishments caught the notice of the Decepticons, however, and [[Garboil (G1)|Garboil]] approached Cordon in an attempt to lure him into joining the [[Cobalt Sentry|Cobalt Sentries]], noting that the Autobot would look nice in blue.

Turning down the offer, Cordon continued his life in the human settlement until he was approached by [[Delta Magnus]], who revealed to Cordon the existence of his backup memories at Diadem, and that he was the only remaining Transformer whose biometrics could unlock the ancient facility. After taking some time to consider, {{Storylink|#Toys|''Masterpiece'' Cordon profile}} Cordon agreed to join a mission to Diadem, where the Autobots faced heavy resistance from an alliance of the [[Decepticon]]s and Quintessons. While the battle saw most of the installation's precious data destroyed, Cordon's saved memories were recovered, but the amnesiac Autobot declined to install them. {{storylink|Spin-Out (G1)#Toys|''Masterpiece'' Spinout profile}}

The Autobots later learned that despite the project being forgotten in aftermath of the Diadem bombing, the factory on planet [[Foreston]] where the "G2 bodies" were manufactured had remained active for the past millions of years, autonomously creating and improving new body frames which could now prove a boon in the present day. Cordon joined a mission dispatched by Delta Magnus to the underground facility, which successfully gained access by using [[Crosscut (G1)|Crosscut]]'s senatorial status to override the ancient AI security system. While the team found that a [[Swarm (G2)|swarm]] of strangely-evolved prototypes had previously burst its way out of the installation, many advanced G2 bodies were indeed ready for the taking. Cordon, however, declined the prospect of an upgrade, revealing to Crosscut that he did not see himself as worthy, as he suspected that he was once one of the Liegemen and was involved in the bombing of Diadem. {{storylink|Crosscut (G1)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Crosscut profile}}

A [[Primus Vanguard|Warrior of the Seven Lights]] resembling Cordon was a member of the [[White Order]] of the [[Primus Vanguard]]. He was a part of his commander [[White Gallant Convoy]]'s retinue as they drove to the Order's headquarters on the [[White Planet]]. {{storylink|God Neptune comic 2}}

His engine block can be used as a pair of rocket boosters or as a gun.

:''[[Missing Link]]'' Cordon is a minor retool of his wavemate [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Missing Link|Sunstreaker]], he is a direct recreation of his [[Diaclone]] toy, with mechanical tweaks that give him a much wider range of articulation like the rest of the ''Missing Link'' line, rotation at the neck and elbow, outward leg movement, knees, and an ankle tilt. As a Diaclone character never released in the original Transformers toyline, he isn't marketed as an Autobot, though a classic [[Rubsign]] is hidden underneath his left foot and he retains Autobot insignias on his sticker sheet. In addition to all the accessories included with the original G1 toy, Cordon comes packed in with a ''teeny-tiny'' [[Diaclone|Dianaut]] figure being a Police Officer which can sit in Cordon's driver seat. In a cute bit of slavish accuracy, Cordon flips the sticker detailing under his engine block from Sunstreaker, to reflect the correct orientation of those stickers on his original ''Diaclone'' release. Like his wavemate, the "POLIS COUNTACH" (sic) spoiler sticker has been removed (as this toy lacks a [[Licensed vehicle alternate modes|license]] from Lamborghini).

* Cordon began as the [[1982]] ''Diaclone'' mecha figure [[:File:Sunstreaker-diaclone.jpg|No. 3 "Countach LP500S Patrol Car Type"]]. When [[Hasbro]] decided to use ''Diaclone'' molds for their [[1984]] [[The Transformers (toyline)|''The Transformers'']] toyline, No. 3 was skipped over, with only [[Spin-Out (G1)|No. 1]] being released in a [[Sunstreaker (G1)|new deco]]. No. 3's likeness would later be considered for a potential [[2015]] exclusive toy ([[#Generations|see above]]) and finally resurrected as a [[2018]] ''Masterpiece'' retool of Sunstreaker—which ''Masterpiece'' fiction would imply could be the same physical entity as the original ''Diaclone'' mecha.
* Cordon's coloration was used in the [[2005 IDW continuity|2005 IDW comics]] for some of the [[Machination]]'s [[Sunstreaker clone]]s.
* The Cobalt Sentries' attempt to recruit Cordon makes a pun on the name of the Cordon Bleu ("Blue Ribbon") of the French {{w|Order of the Holy Spirit}} (which also inspired the name of {{w|Cordon bleu (dish)|the Swiss dish}}).

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Sunstreaker''' (Autobot Car, 1984-1986)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Left & right fists, 2 "rocket boosters", 3 rockets
{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Jeffrey Mangiat]] (packaging artist)}}

: Sunstreaker was released as part of the first year of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' line in the US, transforming into a "Super Tuning" customized Lamborghini Countach LP500S with an exposed rear-mounted engine. Each robot mode arm has a spring-launching mechanism to fire his fists, his chrome missiles, or his "rocket boosters" (once the boosters' main body was pushed forward to lengthen the connection peg), but the springs were severely neutered or removed outright in the US [[for safety reasons]]. The boosters fit very ''very'' loosely in the holes in his rear bumper/robot shoulders, making them pretty dubious additions to either mode.

: As with all his 1984 brethren, a heat-activated [[rubsign]] was added to Sunstreaker in 1985, appearing on his left door. Removed from toystore shelves in 1986, he was then made available as a mail-away item in several different promotions, among them a "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" flier packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point|robot points]].

: When Hasbro released the original ''Transformers'' toys in continental Europe through then-recently-acquired [[Milton Bradley]] in 1985, several toys were actually pre-existing stock originally intended for [[Joustra]]'s version of ''[[Diaclone]]'' acquired by Hasbro and put into MB-branded ''Transformers'' packaging. For some reason, the Sunstreaker toy (sporting its yellow Hasbro ''Transformers'' colors due to being produced during the ''Diaclone''/''Transformers'' transitional period) was released in packaging intended for [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Toys|Sideswipe]], an entirely different sculpt. The packaging even included Sideswipe's instructions and sticker sheet, neither of which were of much use for the toy.<ref name="mbsunswipe">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ "MB Transformers: Part 6"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref>

: Sunstreaker inherited some red [[sticker]] details from the original red-colored ''Diaclone'' version of the toy (see [[#Notes|notes]]): most obviously the shoulder stickers, but more subtly the vents on his chest stickers (numbered "1" in the instructions). The instructions show these being placed on the wrong sides; the red vents are supposed to show through from beneath the exposed engine in vehicle mode.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://tfsquareone.blogspot.com/2020/04/sunstreaker-sticker.html|name=Maz|site=Transformers Square One|title=Hasbro G1 Sunstreaker - Figure & Sticker History|year=2020|month=04|day=10}}</ref> However, Sunstreaker omits the headlight stickers from the ''Diaclone'' release, leading many owners to misinterpret the small black rectangles that continue the stripe past his front wheels in vehicle mode as being headlights—our photo on the right is one such example!

: Sunstreaker is generally considered to be one of the harder early-generation toys to find complete and unbroken. Following its later [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]] in the European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] sub-line (see below), the toy's mold has been stated by [[Hasbro]] and [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] representatives to be one of several whose original molding is either lost or in a state of disrepair too extensive to justify the cost of re-casting, meaning that chances of any future reissues are slim.

: The stock photography on the box shows a prototype; you can tell because the tabs on the arms/launchers are red, as opposed to yellow on the actual toy.

: Only available in Japan, this small, monochrome representation of Sunstreaker transformed by disassembling and reassembling his vinyl component parts. Hence, the name "Transform Block". The toy was first released as part of the Diaclone line alongside another toy representing the Diaclone version of Skids. The toy was simply put in new packaging for its Transformers release, which resembles that of [[Transform Jr]] toys.

: A [[retool]] of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Prowl (RID)#Toys|Prowl]] sculpt, ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Sunstreaker transforms into a Lamborghini Diablo; the roof-mounted police lights from the original mold were removed, leaving this area bare. Unusually for non-vintage Transformers at the time, he has rubber tires. In either mode, he is armed with two pressure-launch missile launchers with two flame-shaped projectiles. These launchers are mounted upon his right arm in robot mode. In vehicle mode, they can be mounted on two pegs located on his spoiler as "rocket boosters".

: It is notable that the part that connects the toy's windshield to the main body uses a yellow decal rather than paint, as that part is made out of [[unpaintable plastic]].

: Sunstreaker was the "hotel [[exclusive]]" toy at [[OTFCC 2003]], available only to those who booked their room at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare at the convention rate, the official hotel for the convention, with one toy per night booked, capped at two toys. Unfortunately, he and mold-mate fellow convention exclusive [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Sideswipe]] often had the wrong missiles packed in their boxes: Sunstreaker is supposed to have blue and white flames, Sideswipe yellow and white. Lot of part trading going on over that weekend.

: This mold was also used to make the ''Universe'' incarnation of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Inferno (BW)#Universe (2003)|Inferno]].

:*''Accessories'': "Junko" driver/figurine, engine-block rifle

:In 2005, Takara and Hasbro released near-simultaneous and significantly different takes on Sunstreaker as a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] ''Binaltech/Alternators'' toy (itself a [[retool]] of [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Alternators|''Binaltech'' Lambor/''Alternators'' Side Swipe]]). The first to the market was the ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech Asterisk|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' version of the toy, including a PVC driver figurine, a girl named [[Kelly (RID)|Junko]]. Sunstreaker transforms into a 1:24-scale licensed "street performance" Dodge Viper with opening doors and hood, and an open passengers' compartment. His engine block becomes a rifle for his robot mode. Like the rest of the ''Binaltech Asterisk'' line, he was packaged in robot mode instead of vehicle.

:As a matter of fact, Sunstreaker was originally intended as the ''first'' retool/redeco of Lambor/Side Swipe: Early [[prototype]]s that were leaked to the public sported a sculpted Autobot logo, and development concept art and color maps detailed in ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' show a black-decoed figure. A store listing from March 2004 stated the figure's name as "'''Blackstreaker'''",<ref name="alternatorstfa">[http://www.tfarchive.com/community/showthread.php?t=22083 TFArchive news thread about Alternators store listing from March 2004.]</ref> suggesting that he was still intended to be Sunstreaker despite sporting different colors, possibly at the request of the car manufacturer. For reasons unknown, however, the toy was ultimately released as the [[Decepticon]] [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] instead, possibly to satisfy fan demands for Decepticons in the line, but this is mere supposition. It took more than a year until Sunstreaker would see shelves as originally intended.

: A few months after the release of ''Binaltech Asterisk'' Sunstreaker, the Hasbro ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' version was released as part of the standard retail line, in the redesigned "bubble" packaging (the third version of ''Alternators'' packaging). Though both are yellow redecos of the mold, the detailing between the two is ''very'' different, with the Hasbro version sharing many paint masks used for Dead End, adding red to the robot mode parts, as well as a pair of black racing stripes in car mode. Drastically put, the only two details virtually identical on both versions at first sight are the [[paint operation|paint mask]] for the head and the [[tampograph]]ed license plate. (This is particularly remarkable since a stolen [[prototype|pre-production sample]] of Hasbro Sunstreaker actually sported a license plate tampograph more in style with previous ''Alternators'' license plates, whereas the final version is dead on identical to the ''Binaltech Asterisk'' toy's tampo.)

{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] Deluxe Class toys, Sunstreaker transforms into a modified {{w|Lamborghini Gallardo}} (featuring a rear end that is basically a cross between a {{w|Lamborghini Murciélago|Murciélago}} and a {{w|Lamborghini Diablo|Diablo}}, split side windows and door vents from the {{w|McLaren F1}}). Like the original Sunstreaker's Lamborghini Countach form, the 2008 ''Universe'' vehicle mode features customized engine supercharger intakes mounted just behind the roof of the car. Sunstreaker's license plate is [[tampograph]]ed "WE R 84", referring to the year the ''Transformers'' franchise was launched. (Early Hasbro [[prototype]]s of ''Universe'' Sunstreaker had the [[license plate]] say "WE R 8'''2'''" instead.<ref name="unisunstreaker1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/universe-classics-20-autobots-262/sunstreaker-1596/ Various Hasbro stock photos for ''Universe'' Sunstreaker], all featuring a "WE R 82" license plate.</ref><ref name="uniprowl2">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/185434-classics-henkei-sunstreaker-prowl-comparison-pictures.html Scans from ''Dengeki Hobby Magazine''], also depicting ''Universe'' Sunstreaker with a "WE R 82" license plate.</ref>)

:[[File:SunstreakerSideswipeSDCC2007.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|One of the cases where the result turned out even ''better'' than the original idea. Well, except maybe for the weapon.]]
:Like many other new-sculpt ''Universe'' toys, Sunstreaker has a "dramatic head reveal" when transforming him to robot mode: when his chest is rotated into place, his head rises into position and his ears spring out. In robot mode, his supercharger engine accessory can be attached to his back, but it can also be attached to the "Electron Pulse Blaster" to create a larger weapon by wrapping the intakes around it, and the gun can be mounted in either of the holes on his shoulders, though Sunstreaker's "ears" get in the way. Most of this is not shown in the [[instructions]], which only instruct the owner of the toy to put the gun in his hand and attach the supercharger to his back.

:Though not specifically a [[quality control]] issue, the yellow paint used for Sunstreaker's roof does not precisely match the bright yellow plastic used for his car body panel parts. The dark tinted windows cause the yellow paint to take on a greenish tinge.

:Sunstreaker uses the same base mold as ''Universe'' [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sideswipe]], but with his robot mode turned 180 degrees at the waist, and factory-swapped fists. Hasbro's early plans for Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had the two as straight [[redeco]]/retools of each other using the hood-chest configuration. [[TakaraTomy]] designer [[Hisashi Yuki]] suggested turning the upper body 180 degrees, making Sunstreaker's robot mode resemble his [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] design more.<ref name="generations2009">Interview with Hisashi Yuki in [[Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1|''Transformers Generations 2009'' vol. 1]], [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/223379-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-2009-vol-1-translation.html English translation] at TFW2005.</ref> Based on the release order, Sunstreaker is considered the original iteration of the sculpt and Sideswipe the [[retool]], even though the two were designed concurrently. In addition, Hasbro originally intended the [[alternate mode]]'s supercharger to split into two halves which would then become the handgun and a spring-loaded shoulder launcher for the robot mode.

{{toydesigner|[[Naoto Tsushima]] (packaging artist)}}

: Released in the fifth wave of TakaraTomy's ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' toys, this version of ''Universe'' Sunstreaker is a redeco of Hasbro's release, featuring a deeper shade of yellow with a much greater consistency between the painted yellow roof and the yellow plastic. He also replaces some of the ''Universe'' figure's gray paint with black. The orange paint is replaced with red, and the maroon Autobot symbol is now the more standard red.

: Like all ''Henkei! Henkei!'' toys, he features [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] plastic, including his Electron Pulse Blaster, his supercharger and his spoiler.

: Part of the sixth regular assortment of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, Sunstreaker is a [[Kreon]] minifigure that can be rebuilt into a race car with back-mounted "engine". While clearly based on the Generation 1 character, the details of his deco are much more based on the stylings of the [[live-action film series|live-action movie series]] and ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]''. He sports [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]]'s helmet.

: Unlike prior Micro-Changer assortments, this series does not have any sort identification code for the bags' actual contents, meaning you'd best be good at the feel-though-the-bag method.

:This assortment was originally slated to be a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]], but US stores dropped the line before its release. It was still available in Canada, Australia and Chinese/Asian markets. In 2015, the Collection appeared in US Dollar Tree stores, with a price tag of a whopping $1 a pop. They didn't last long.

: Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Sunstreaker is a [[retool]] of [[Breakdown (G1)#Combiner Wars|Breakdown]] sporting a brand new headsculpt. The hand/foot/gun can peg on top of the car mode to form an engine block, and can be either held in his hand or mounted on his back in robot mode via [[5 mm post]]s. His other weapon can be held as either a sword or a gun in robot mode, and can peg into a slot in the side of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]].

: Being a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, Sunstreaker can form a limb for any ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager figure, but would usually be associated with [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Optimus Maximus]]. He is also officially associated with [[Betatron (CW)|Betatron]].

: Sunstreaker comes with the comic book "[[The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati]]". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later appeared in the USA at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.

:As a part of the third and fourth wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s and [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Sunstreaker was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2015/08/28/transformers-combiner-wars-sticker-sheet-for-wave-3-and-4-figures-300471 Protectobot and Optimus Maximus sticker promotion on TFW2005]</ref>

: This mold was differently retooled as [[Jumpstream#Toys|Jumpstream]], [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Wheeljack]], and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ravage]]. It also served as the model for the non-toy ''[[Spatiotemporal Challengers]]'' incarnation of [[Turbo (GoBots)#Timelines|Turbo]], and was ''[[Inferno Combiner#Of Masters and Mayhem|strongly implied]]'' to be used for the ''[[Of Masters and Mayhem]]'' incarnation of [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Notes|Sideswipe]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Sunstreaker transforms from robot to a licensed Lamborghini Countach LP500S mode, just like his brother [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Sideswipe]], but is of course a completely different mold.

:In vehicle mode, the rear electronic propulsion engine cover can be folded into the rear of the car for a more realistic Countach, and the rear combination tail-lights can be switched between realistic and toon modes. The doors and hood open, and the front headlights can be popped up. His spoiler can split in half to deploy a small barrel, the likes he used in [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]. Early magazine adverts showed him with a yellow spoiler, but subsequent photos depicted the spoiler in a silver chrome, as found on the released figure.

:To preserve cartoon accuracy, the windows on the chest are "[[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]]", however the main panel of the chest is formed by turning the roof of the car mode inside out, with the extra windows folding out from inside.<ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/05/23/takara-mp-39-masterpiece-clear-pictures-designer-team-interview-translation-339374 TFW2005.com: Takara MP-39 Masterpiece Clear Pictures, Designer Team Interview Translation]</ref>

:For accessories, he includes his small Electron Pulse Pun that can be stored inside an opening compartment on his leg (underneath the engine bay in car mode), and a Flare Gun, an exact replica of Sideswipe's rifle he used on the episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]" that can be stored on his backpack. In addition to the standard face, he comes with an additional smiling face and shouting face, and an alien mask from the episode "[[Hoist Goes Hollywood (episode)|Hoist Goes Hollywood]]"—for an additional homage to the episode he can stand on one leg too.

:Also included is a Chip Chase minifigure that can be removed from his wheelchair and placed on Sunstreaker's shoulders to recreate the episode "[[Roll for It]]". If purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Sunstreaker includes a [[collector coin]], mounted on a folding card that resembles his robot mode chest panel.<ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/12/20/takara-masterpiece-mp-39-sunstreaker-packaging-collectible-coin-hand-images-355639 Takara Masterpiece MP-39 Sunstreaker Packaging, Collectible Coin And In-Hand Images]</ref>

:Part of the third wave of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] Deluxes, Sunstreaker transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a Lamborghini Countach LP500S and shares some engineering with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Wheeljack]].<ref>{{citesocial|quote=一番気になってたサンストリーカーをホイルジャックと比較。変形機構はほぼ同じなのでリデコなのかと思いましたが、変形時のパーツ移動用のアームとか関節部のパーツとか、形状はほぼ同じなのにモールドが違ってってどうも新規っぽい。使いまわせそうな胴体フレームも別物だし・・・なんか不思議 https://t.co/ZQLF7vRyJa|link=https://twitter.com/Ishikawa_sunday/status/1312596933219770372|name=Ishikawa_sunday|site=Twitter|year=2020|month=10|day=04|(defunct=)}}</ref> His engine block can be used as a pair of rocket boosters or as a gun, though his forearms prevent the weapon's peg from fully settling inside his hands. Alternatively, the definitely-not-intended-for-potential-future-spoiler-use 5 mm holes that end up on his forearms in robot mode can accommodate the weapon comfortably.

:Similar to his ''Universe'' figure, Sunstreaker's chest is actually darker translucent plastic painted yellow. Although the yellow paint does not entirely match the yellow plastic, it is much less conspicuous than the earlier figure. Due to the pegs on the chest underside being painted, it can be very difficult to slot in place for car mode. This can be resolved by lightly sanding the front portions of the pegs until the gap can be cleanly closed.

:This mold was also used to make ''Selects'' [[Spin-Out (G1)#Generations Selects|Spin-Out]] and slightly retooled, with a new chest, into Spin-Out’s two-pack mate, [[Cordon (G1)#Generations Selects|Cordon]]. Due to COVID-19 supply disruptions, Sunstreaker and his fellow wave 3 Deluxes reached store shelves in Singapore before wave 2 was released.

:He comes with a map piece and decoder. Unlike the wave 2 Deluxes, his piece is not misprinted. It is part of Cybertron showing one of the moons. The moon is unlabeled, so which moon it is remains unkown.

:Sunstreaker was reissued through [[Target]] and Hasbro Pulse at the end of 2025, as his status as a [[tail-ender]] made him difficult for many fans to obtain.

: Released as part of the ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' "Autobots Stand United" multi-pack, Sunstreaker is a redeco of the ''Earthrise'' Sunstreaker above, in a more cartoon-accurate deco, with brighter yellow plastic and dark-charcoal plastic and paint instead of black. His roof, windshield and side-window parts are now the same opaque yellow plastic as the rest of his body, with light-blue paint for his "glass" portions. He also comes with an extra accessory, a light-gray version of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Elita One (G1)#Legacy|Elita-1]]'s rifle.

: Unlike the mold's original release, Sunstreaker's vehicle mode features two Autobot sigils, one on the car roof in the same manner as the original, and a new one on the car's hood, in an effort to reconcile the sigil's shifting location in the G1 cartoon. Due to the transformation engineering, the second sigil is only visible in the vehicle mode.

: This set also includes similarly-more-cartoon-based versions of [[Hound (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Hound]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Jazz]], [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Trailbreaker]], and [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Wheeljack]].

:''[[Missing Link]]'' Sunstreaker is a direct recreation of the [[#The Transformers|above Generation 1 toy]], only this time with mechanical tweaks that give him a much wider range of articulation, including rotation at the neck and elbow, outward leg movement, double-jointed knees, and an ankle tilt. In addition to all the accessories included with the original G1 toy, Sunstreaker comes packed in with a new rifle matching his brother [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Sideswipe]]'s, and a ''teeny-tiny'' [[Diaclone|Dianaut]] figure based on [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], which can sit in Sunstreaker's driver seat. Most of Sunstreaker's original [[sticker]] detailing is now sculpted in and picked out using metallic [[paint operation]]s, including for the very first time the headlights from the original ''Diaclone'' release, but he also includes a sticker sheet with various options: the original release's "COUNTACH" spoiler sticker has been removed (as this toy lacks a [[Licensed vehicle alternate modes|license]] from Lamborghini) and swapped for a second set of shoulder stickers, to replace his erroneous red shoulder coloration with the originally-intended yellow, while the waist sticker has been updated to include the "CAR ROBO" text from the ''Diaclone'' release.

:A prototype of ''Missing Link'' Sunstreaker was unveiled at [[TakaraTomy]]'s [[Our Origin: 40th Anniversary Transformers Exhibition|40th Anniversary expo]], and he later went up for pre-order in December 2024 for a June 2025 release.

:This figure was also retooled into Sunstreaker's wavemate, ''Missing Link'' [[Cordon (G1)#Missing Link|Cordon]]. In a crazy bit of attention to detail, the sticker detail under Sunstreaker's engine block has been sculpted to match the incorrect, flipped orientation of his original ''Transformers'' release, while Cordon flips the detailing back to match the original ''Diaclone'' toy.

:Released in the sixth wave of ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Sunstreaker is a roughly 4-inch tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Autobot Sports car Warrior. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Sunstreaker has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases. Sunstreaker comes with a pair of closed weapon-holding and open splayed hands, and a blaster. The barrel of the weapon is compatible with the blast effects included with other kits.

:Like the other ''Galaxy Version'' kits since Wave 2, Sunstreaker features a slightly upgraded suite of standard body parts, notably the multi-colored head piece with color-coded eyes, and he also features two pairs of sturdier pre-assembled hinge joints introduced in the fifth wave.

:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs. While an incorrect knee joint assembly may cause it to very slightly lean when standing straight or in an A-stance, an incorrect elbow assembly won't be noticeably affected unless you're looking very closely.

:Like most of the larger Galaxy Version kits, Sunstreaker features a simple neck joint that is colored to match his optics, allowing it to be see-through from his head's eye holes.

*According to Hasbro, the pre-''Transformers'' ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Sunstreaker was the first transforming car-to-robot toy ever designed, namely by [[Kōjin Ōno]].<ref name="hof2010">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/movie-news/TRANSFORMERS-HALL-OF-FAME-INAUGURAL-MEMBERS.cfm Hasbro press release for the 2010 Transformers Hall of Fame inductees]</ref> His alternate mode, a modified Lamborghini Countach with a rear-mounted supercharger engine, is actually based on an older [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] toy from their ''[[Microman]]'' line, the "Cosmo Countach" from 1978, which could also transform, albeit only into a weird half-robot, half-car hybrid.<ref name="cosmo">[http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~mikuro/sub1-6.htm The Cosmo Countach, Sunstreaker's ancestor]</ref><ref name="spencer">[http://www.spencer1984.com/serendipity/index.php?/archives/49-Sunstreaker-The-Missing-Link.html Spencer 1984 discovers the connection between the Cosmo Countach and Diaclone Sunstreaker]</ref> The ''Diaclone'' version of Sunstreaker, officially called Lamborghini Countach LP500S "Super Tuning", was originally only available in red and black/white police decos. This is one of several items that have led to the fan speculation that Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's colorations and [[bio]] texts were swapped around before their final release. Another factor being that, according to his ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' profile, Sunstreaker feels that Sideswipe's design is "spoiled by the rear-mounted engine in his automobile mode", when in fact Sunstreaker is the one with said engine. The fact that the engine ends up on his back in robot mode could be the inspiration for the "rocket backpack" from Sideswipe's bio. Finally, Sunstreaker's spring-loaded missile-launching forearms are more reminiscent of "powerful pile drivers" as mentioned in Sideswipe's bio. The yellow "rocket boosters" that were most often shown on his shoulders also had an adjustable connector peg that allowed them to attach to his arms, this was most likely the inspiration for the pile drivers. The [[Tech Spec|statistics]], however, are correct. This change would also explain Sunstreaker's otherwise inexplicable red shoulders/car panel decals, which were originally used to cover up the black plastic on the red Diaclone version.
**Unlike the red and police versions of Diaclone Sunstreaker, there is little evidence of yellow Sunstreakers packaged as Transformers wearing the factory decals representing his park lights (assumed to be headlights by most).
*The red ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Sunstreaker was sold by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in North America as the ''[[Diakron]]'' "DK-1" Car/Robot in 1983, seemingly just a few months before he would be rebranded as a Transformer.
*In 2003, an entry for a ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' "Sunstreaker" [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]] was found in Canadian and Australian [[Toys"R"Us]] computers. The public Canadian Toys"R"Us website later even illustrated their listing with a non-[[stock photography|official photo]] of the Generation 1 Sunstreaker toy lifted straight off a [http://www.ggaub.com/tf/toy.html fan's website], complete with watermark. Ultimately, however, the listings for "Sunstreaker" transformed into listings for ''Commemorative Series'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]], leading to some confusion among fans.
* A mock-up of a "Sunstreaker Police Type" redeco of the 2008 ''Universe'' Sunstreaker mold, an homage to the ''Diaclone'' toy pictured above, was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 1]]'' as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. The mock-up promised that the final product would feature less of a placeholder name, as well as a lightbar, presumably the one from the [[Red Alert (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|''Henkei!'' Alert]] version of the mold. In the end, it didn't win the [[Fan polls#Generations Magazine Exclusive Character Popularity Vote|poll]] to determine which of the ten would be produced, receiving only 3.8% of the fan votes.<ref>[http://millionhero.sblo.jp/article/101898683.html Poll results at Hero-X]</ref>
* The red and police decos eventually inspired the characters of [[Spin-Out (G1)|Spin-Out]] and [[Cordon (G1)|Cordon]], respectively.

:*''Takara name'': '''Bumble'''
:*''Takara ID number'': '''11''', '''C-56'''
{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Mark Watts]] (packaging artist)}}

: Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Micro Change]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Type 1. He was available through the first three years of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini-Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so.

: 'Bee has a ''lot'' of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the "Dunlop" brand name stamped on his tires.

: Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] in 1985, and reflective [[iron-on patch]]es in 1986. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.

: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.

: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers ''finally'' released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.

: The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. He was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below), with each of these serving as the base for [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]] respectively. He was also released in a wide variety of colors in markets across Latin America, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more keep popping up!).

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, [[1985]])}}</ul>

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in five decoes: both the original red and yellow (now cast in a slightly lighter shade of plastic), as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces (similar to that of probably-[[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]). The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee's head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-multi|'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)}}</ul>

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and a slick-looking silver and black variant similar to one of the aforementioned IGA versions but with a gold face instead.

: Rather than having faction insignia, both versions were decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals, and the design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed, a change also present on the Estrela versions of the similarly-engineered [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Estrela|Carrera / Cliffjumper]] and [[Sedan (Robocar)|Sedan]] molds.

:As mentioned, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks in 1986 sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-multi|'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)}}</ul>

: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was ''probably'' also changed, but right now we don't know for sure.)

:The card's toy photography depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

:These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)}}</ul>

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the red and yellow versions, albeit the latter was made in a much brighter, lemon-like shade of plastic, and retains the original Hasbro insingia and back plate stickers.

: The main difference compared to other international versions of Bumblebee is his head's deco work (or lack thereof), which is missing both the silver paint on his face and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1987)}}</ul>
[[File:Lynsa-PeachBumblebee.jpg|thumb|Never has a toy looked this deliciously edible before. ''(Peach version pictured)''|upright=1.67]]

: Manufactured by [[Peru|Peruvian]] company [[Lynsa]] and sold in Peru and Chile, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far. Notably, at least one copy has been found which seems to have been factory-assembled with Cliffjumper's head instead. <ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/help-unique-lynsa-peru-bumblebee-found-t79477.php "Help! Unique Lynsa Bumblebee Found"] on Seibertron.com</ref>

: As with the other Lynsa Minicars, this Bumblebee is incredibly fragile, with his arms in particular being very prone to breakage. As such, given the rarity of this toy, whatever few copies of it still exist should be handled with ''exceptional'' care.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

:*''Takara name'': '''Goldback'''
:*''Takara ID number:'' '''C-97'''
{{toydesigner|[[Takayuki Ishizawa]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Takashi Matsuda]] (initial concept)}}

: The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Type 1 was much more realistically-proportioned. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).

: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy (G1)|Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figurine. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.

: In Japan, they were also the focus of the "Throttlebot Promotional Sales Campaign", where buying a Throttlebot at select Japanese retailers (sadly, we do not know which retailers these were) got the buyer one of six random all-white [[Autobot Master Warrior#Toys|Autobot Master Warrior]]s free. These [[campaign item|promotional toys]] are now among the most expensive ''Transformers'' toys ever "mass"-released, if not ''the'' most expensive (especially when size is taken into account).

: This toy also doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)|[[Richard Marcej]] (packaging)}}

: As part of the sixth year of ''Transformers'', Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Type 1, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell.

: Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper]]'s toy head.

: In Japan, Legends Bumblebee was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of [[Jazz (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Jazz]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Heroset|Starscream]]. Bumblebee was identical to the Hasbro release.

: In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Bumblebee was given the name "Saetta", which was originally the Italian name of [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys|Wheeljack]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Part of the second wave of single-carded [[Action Master]] figures in the line's final year (in the US, at least), Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that mixed his cartoon model with toy-based detailing. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles.

: He comes with the [[Heli-pack]], which transforms into a large "high-powered [[air rifle]]" with spring-loaded deploying barrel. Bumblebee and his Heli-pack are cross-compatible with any other Action Master figure, vehicle or accessory; plus the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.

: This release makes Bumblebee the only character to have a toy of ''some'' kind available throughout the entire original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' production run, from 1984 up to 1990.

: Goldbug, and the rest of the Throttlebots, were reissued in Europe in 1991 as part of the [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] reissues.

: It was [[retool]]ed to remove the [[rubsign]] indent, and the heat-sensitive decal was replaced with a glossy-paper faction symbol.

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Keychain, 2001/2003/2007)}}</ul>

: A keychain version of Bumblebee was released by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots ([[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Keychain|Cliffjumper]], Bumblebee, [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#keychain|Brawn]]) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

:This mold was also used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]].

: Released as part of the collaboration between the ''Transformers'' franchise, the [[Bump of Chicken]] rock group, and [[Studio Trigger]]'s [[Sushio]], this Bumblebee is a redeco of the ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' release of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Bumblebee mold]] (see below), complete with translucent windows. He transforms into a sports coupe of made-up model, which features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any [[Titan Master]]/[[Prime Master]] figure to ride inside him; in this case, the included Headmaster of Bump of Chicken's bassist [[Chama#Toys|Chama]].

: Also included is a [[pack-in material|pack-in]] mini-comic, "[[Transformers × Bump of Chicken EX Episode]]", written by Chama himself and illustrated by [[Akira Amemiya]].

: The figure was exclusively released as one of the band's [https://bumpofchicken.com/goods/list/detail?id=14&item_id=46 online shop items], though customers had to register as an EMTG (Entertainment Music Ticket Guard) member to purchase it. Collectors first had an opportunity to purchase the figure in-person at an event at Tokyo Dome from [[November 3]]–4, 2019, starting at 8:30 AM JST. In-person purchasers needed to have a ticket to the band's concert in order to purchase the figure. Online orders were also available at noon on [[November 8]], 2019, and quickly sold out. Due to demand, a second run of the toy was made available on [[November 11]], 2019, with the second run shipping in March 2020.

: Bumblebee's first ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toy was a [[redeco]] of his original toy, transforming into a "Penny Racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Type 1. However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seem to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the ''Generation 2'' Mini Vehicles.

: The only symbol on the figure is the Generation 2 Autobot insignia stamped on the bottom of his foot, followed by the word "Autobot".

:Part of the third wave of ''Generation 2'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s, this version of Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of wave 1's [[High Beam#Toys|High Beam]], transforming into a concept race car with exposed rear engine... that looks ''exactly'' like the "[[Wikia:hotwheels:Speed Blaster|Speed Blaster]]" car from [[Mattel]]'s ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]'' line that was first released in 1991 under the names "Back Burner" and "Sonic Special".

:"Bumble" was again reissued in Japan as part of ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' "bookbox" series in a six-toy multi-pack, with [[Huffer (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Drag]], [[Cosmos (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Adams]], [[Gears (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Gears]], [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Powerglide]], and [[Warpath (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Warpath]]. This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol ''and'' a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.

:The entire set was redecoed to make the [[G1 GoBots|"G1 GoBots"]] set; this version of Bumblebee became [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

: One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the "[[Descent into Evil]]" comic.

:The Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow hatchback sports car (labeled as a "cruiser" on the package) that's basically Hasbro's typical cross between several existing car models: The car closely resembles a Peugeot 206 WRC, however some people see strong cues from other vehicles, such as the general shape of the car being based on a heavily customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 {{w|Honda Civic (fifth generation)|fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback}} with lots of aftermarket add-ons (such as a large front bumper, large fenders and a large rear wing).<ref name="ricercivic">[http://www.tuningfever.fr/fr/pics/gal-1596-stephan/pic-33883-honda-civic.php Photos of 1992-1995 Honda Civic], photos taken from an eBay auction posted before September 2005.</ref> The front section takes some design cues from various models of the {{w|Subaru Impreza WRX}}, namely the hood vent present on all models, the front grille of the 2004-05 WRX and the headlights and the midsection of the front bumper from the 2006-07 WRX STi.<ref name="wrxsti06">[http://www.insideline.com/subaru/impreza-wrx/2006/first-drive-2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-and-wrx-sti.html 2006-2007 Subaru WRX STi], officially unveiled in September 2005.</ref> The shape of the rear fenders is also vaguely inspired by the [[Volkswagen]] {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle|New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar to his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers.<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref> He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees.

Henkei!'' Bumble, see immediately below), and the clear parts from a very faint blue-ish tint to deeply saturated clear blue plastic. In addition, the shoulder straps are no longer painted yellow, instead showing the clear blue plastic they are cast in; the head is no longer painted over in yellow, due to the change of the plastic color from gray to yellow; and the [[Wave Crusher]] replaces the white paint with black paint for the upper half and an unpainted yellow lower half, and the orange stripe with a yellow one.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of [[#Classics|''Classics'' Bumblebee.]] Bumblebee swaps some of his black plastic for dark gray, and his light gray plastic for yellow. His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the ''Classics'' Bumblebee and ''Animated'' Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

**''Voted'': Best Spark
**''Accessories'': Scoped pistol

: This version of Bumblebee, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], has much more toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior versions, including visored-and-masked face. He uses the [[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]] style door-wings, which is really odd considering the toy he's based on does not have said feature.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984", [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but the set actually sold out at the show.

: Sold only at discount chains like Family Dollar, this version of Bumblebee uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

: Part of the first wave of the "Battle Changers" line, this version of Bumblebee has a core Kreon torso and head, but his limbs and backpack are massively bulked up, which allows him to transform into a vehicle that vaguely resembles a sports car with a proportions of a Volkswagen Beetle, without removing any parts!

: All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set. The CG render noticeably features a windshield sticker on Bumblebee's chest, which was removed from the final toy for unknown reasons.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively.

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a "Classic" Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5 mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with almost all other ''MechTech'' Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.

[[File:HM-toy BumblebeeG1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Basic, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper]]'s arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.

* '''Bumblebee & Strafe Team Pack''' (Team Pack, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''23'''
**''Accessories'': Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 "Dino Claw Missiles", buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters

: Part of a "Team Pack" with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Strafe]], this release of Bumblebee is basically identical to his individual release, but lacking his silver blaster. Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack's various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded "Dino Claw Missile" launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard ''Hero Mashers'' peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.

: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee's feet.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)

:Another release of the 2014 ''Universe'' sculpt, this version's deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the ''Transformers'' release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the ''Dark of the Moon'' version), but the "running boards" on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current ''Generations'' packaging design, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017 (or 2016?), it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the black insignia variant of the toy (in the later packaging variant lacking the "Reveal the Shield" call-out) ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020. For unknown reasons, most of them were mistransformed in packaging.

*'''Bumble''' ([[November 29]], [[2014]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-21'''
**''Accessories'': "Laser Gun" pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, "Battle Face" ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] and [[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other ''Masterpiece'' cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1, he only has one mirror, on the driver's side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called ''Lazer Gun'' {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only ''exists'' in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee's [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car's underside.

:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in ''The Movie''. The figure itself is referred to only as "Excelsuit" (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in ''The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide'', it's supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable "Battle Face" based on the original G1 toy's one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as "Bumblebee Autobot".

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny ''Generation 2'' gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The toy-inspired "battle face" from the normal version's Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.

: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and ''Generation 2'' style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow ''Generation 2'' style "AUTOBOT" logos (as was stamped on the original toys), ''180 Deceps'' and ''I♥Cybertron'' (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of ''Transformers: The Movie'']]), and the "'''I♥NY'''" license plate decal as seen in the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]".

:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector's coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee's head (with the "battle face" faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.

:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|''Masterpiece'' MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike.

:Oddly, the instruction manual and package have a couple of quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee's robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but they show the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick have two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

:The second version of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble transforms from a show-accurate robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Type 1. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]", and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen/car hood assembly. Like the other ''Masterpiece'' Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy's (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "[[Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play]]", the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]", and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in "[[Quest for Survival]]".

:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumblebee ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.

:After the official images' reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].

:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee's head, the ''Masterpiece'' logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble's name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage" while the box itself retains Bumble's (Japanese) name.

His car mode is built on a generic ''Choro-Q'' chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Bumblebee kit, and the smartphone app's controls adopt a yellow and black theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.

:Like every Cyber Series figures, Bumblebee was available in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com, initially not hitting mass retail anywhere besides Asia and Latin America.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, [[2016]])
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to car, with a vehicle mode based on his alt mode in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]''. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5 mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon's slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads "100 STRA" which is a variation of his movie counterpart's "900 STRA" plate.

:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle's pegs and the shoulder's rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

[[File:VG1-toy Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Sweet boy will outlive us, mere mortals, with periodical re-releases on a per decade basis. As it should be.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' ("Legion Class" reissue, 2018)

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Vintage|Vintage G1]]'' line, Bumblebee is a largely-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the "newly"-tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and also sharing many of the deco alterations.

:There are a number of small differences between the ''Encore'' and ''Vintage G1'' versions, though:
:#The screw in the center of Bumblebee's back; now replaced with a pin, much like the original toy. This is also likely down to [[Hasbro]]'s current stance on using pins in place of screws as much as possible.
:#He has extra production information tampographed on the sole of his right foot—something that has become fairly common on ''Transformers'' products that wasn't around during his last reissue.
:#The original sticker detail on the back of his head has also returned, whereas the ''Encore'' version had a [[rubsign]] placed there instead. This also happens to be the only ''Vintage G1'' Minibot to not have a rubsign.

: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that's identified on its packaging as being an "official licensed product" approved by Volkswagen.

:Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|''Bumblebee'' live-action movie]].

[[File:TF-Generations-WFC-Trilogy-Deluxe-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Wait I'm a retool of Cliffjumper now? This must be Shattered Glass or something...]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[January 20]], [[2021]]
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk/shield

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Deluxe Class toys, concurrent with the ''Earthrise'' toyline and season of [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|the Netflix cartoon]], Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure's vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Type 1 without the "penny racer" proportions, along with a new head sculpt. Almost ''all'' of Bumblebee's yellow coloring is painted, with only his head and forearms being bare yellow plastic, which avoids color disparity, particularly in vehicle mode. On both of his ends, the bumpers/fenders are made of soft rubbery plastic. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs. Much like Cliffjumper's other mold-mates, Bumblebee's depiction as being rather small in most ''Transformers'' media means this figure is much shorter than a typical Deluxe-priced figure and is closer to being a particularly large Legends-priced figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows, and a complex transformation scheme. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a ball-joint, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation. The housing has also been updated for seemingly no reason, with a taller "collar" section compared to Cliffjumper and Hubcap.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slightly darker gunmetal color and lacking the paint on the rear piece. The entire cannon can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis that can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon folds out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Unlike his mold-mates, 5 mm port holes are absent in Bumblebee's vehicle parts, meaning displaying the bazooka in vehicle mode requires the rear of the car mode to be transformed differently so the car trunk post has space to flip out and connect to the back-end of the cannon. Despite what the instructions tell you, the bazooka ''will'' pop off from the upper shoulder gap if you move the arm horizontally or vertically.

: Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put onto the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other. Also unlike his mold-mates, the pegs that connect the car trunk with the robot fists in vehicle mode are now complete circles instead of half circles. These larger pegs are a very tight fit in the fists; detaching the trunk requires using excessive force on a small, thin, painted plastic piece. Filing or sanding the pegs down can make transformation more feasible.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp head-horns, but the final product has them rounded off.

: Like the rest of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-branded]] subset of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, Bumblebee is exclusive to [[Walmart]] in Canada and the US but was released at standard retail in Asia.

: His G1 cartoon-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]]. However, there is no way to store this blaster while Bumblebee is in vehicle mode.

: This contained a portion of a cardstock background of [[Teletraan I]]. Bumblebee's part has tab N and slot A.

: Bumblebee is one of two puzzling Netflix-branded figures that have become extra rare and valuable for a mutual set of confusing reasons; the other is [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Soundwave]]. Most Netflix figures try to depict characters as they appeared on the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon, favoring Cybertronian alt modes and extra battle damage, but that was not the goal for Bumblebee and Soundwave. Instead, with clean paint jobs and never-seen-on-Netflix Earth alt modes, they might be the most G1-faithful available versions of their characters in the [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations toyline]] era.

:If you actually want a toy that resembles Bumblebee from Netflix TV, then you might be looking for one of the [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Buzzworthy Bumblebees]].

: The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given two new head toolings to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]] respectively, and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

:*''Series'': ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''
:*''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the cross-franchise ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' subline, and among its very first releases, this iteration of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Bumblebee is a Core Class mold that converts from a robot into a car based upon [[Bumper (G1)#The Transformers|Bumper]]'s [[Choro-Q]] {{w|Mazda Familia}} alt-mode (complete with rear plate detailing!). He comes with a cartoon-inspired blaster that he holds via a 3 mm post which stores in his vehicle mode's rear underside, doubling as an exhaust pipe of sorts. Unlike most of the figures on this page, this Bumblebee features a matte finish on his vehicle tires ''and'' his gun.

: As seen in the rear packaging's stock render, Bumblebee's "wing" kibble/back fenders can be folded back for a cleaner robot appearance. As a result of sharing similarities to the original toy's transformation scheme, Bumblebee's arms sit slightly lower in robot mode.

: Bumblebee also comes with a (minimally-)transforming [[Exosuit#War for Cybertron Trilogy|exosuit]] [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Buzzworthy|Spike Witwicky]] figure, although the exosuit features a silver-painted head dome with no indications of whoever may be inside, making it more a generic exosuit figure than any specific human character. This raised the MSRP from Core Class's normal ten to fifteen US dollars, though some Target stores seemingly at random charged ''seventeen'' for the set. Despite the store exclusivity, the set became a [[shelfwarmer|pegwarmer]], often leaving entire pegs full of unsold stock.

: Much like the rest of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, the box is in the style of the 2018 ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' toyline, with additional renders of the [[evergreen]] Bumblebee design. Additionally, the toy features ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''-style [[package art]] with the ''War for Cybertron'' logo present.

: ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''{{'}}s second all-new mold, "Origin Bumblebee" is a diminutive Deluxe Class figure, once again branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''. For the first time in toy form, Bumblebee transforms into the "flying saucer" vehicle seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" in 23 steps. His robot mode is based on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLo1eYQASuE/ concept art] by [[Ken Christiansen]], which had earlier influenced Bumblebee's look in the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|2019 IDW comic series]] and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' animated series.

: As part of the ''War for Cybertron'' play pattern, Bumblebee features multiple 5 mm ports and 3 mm posts compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]] and [[Fire Blast effect|"fire blast" effects]]. Being a modern, smaller-scale Deluxe Class figure, Bumblebee includes multiple accessories to fill out the price point, consisting of a 5 mm handheld blaster, five [[conductor#Toys|conductor rods]] as seen in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1" that Bumblebee cannot actually hold (and in reality, Bumblebee only holds four of these rods in the episode), and a [[jet pack#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|jet pack]] as seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The jet pack is 5 mm compatible but is also specifically shaped to fit the back kibble of the ''Earthrise'' Cliffjumper mold. Kunihiro originally wanted to have slots on the jetpack for the rods to slide into, but Maher cut it out due to it affecting the visual look of the jetpack. Despite appearing to be silver on the box, both Bumblebee's gun and jetpack are molded in unpainted black plastic.

: Origin Bumblebee is a victim of [[photodegradation]]; His unpaintable parts can discolor into either a very pale yellow or outright light brown.

: [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Legacy|A 2024 Wheeljack toy]] was eventually made as a companion to this figure, featuring a storage bay for Bumblebee to fit inside, and clips to hold Bumblebee’s conductor rods.

: Part of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "Creatures Collide" 4-pack, "Autobot Goldbug" is a chimera of molds, matching the vehicle mode parts from ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]] with the headsculpt from ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Goldbug]]; it also makes use of the interior chest parts from the original ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], as the "popped collar" of the Bumblebee version of the toy would cause clearance issues with the shape of the Goldbug head. All this results in a robot loosely accurate to Goldbug's original character model that transforms into a licensed, goldy-caramel-coloured [[Volkswagen]] Type 1. He retains the same accessories and functionality as his prior ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' release.

: Alongside Goldbug, the set also includes [[Scorponok (BW)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Predacon Scorponok]], [[Ransack (G1)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Ransack]], and [[Skywasp#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Skywasp]]. The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line was exclusive to Target in the U.S.

[[File:Robosen_bumblebee_performance.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee G1 Performance''' (2023)
**''Accessories:'' blaster, wall charger, USB-C to USB 2.0 cable
:[[Robosen]]'s follow-up to their [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robosen Collector's Edition|auto-converting G1 Optimus Primes]], "Bumblebee G1 Performance" is a highly-interactive, programmable robot based on Bumblebee's appearance in the G1 cartoon. Unlike the two Optimus Primes, Bumblebee does ''not'' transform, leaving him stuck in robot mode... though this does contribute to his ''significantly lower'' $399 price point. He's nevertheless still a vague in-between of "toy" and "high-end showroom tech", with 45 custom microchips, 17 servo motors, [[Light-emitting diode|LEDs]] in his eyes, foot headlights, and his blaster accessory, 69 classic soundbytes on top of newly-recorded voice lines by [[Dan Gilvezan]] (or a ''very good'' impersonator), and his own dedicated iOS/Android bluetooth app interface (separate from either of the two Optimus Primes' apps). Bumblebee stands at 13.5 inches in height, meaning he scales a bit better with the taller "Flagship" Optimus Prime.

:Bumblebee is primarily powered by an internal rechargable lithium ion battery, with his USB-C port located in an added notch on his lower back. His speaker/vent is located just above that, on a raised circular outdent on the center of his back.

:There are a variety of ways to interact with Bumblebee, including pre-programmed voice commands, pre-programmed app controls, and user-created movement scripts. The former two have a long list of scripted actions to pull from, including action poses, fighting scenes, greetings, and a variety of silly actions; if Robosen's continual rollout of new actions for Prime months after his release is anything to go by, Bumblebee will likely have more actions added in the months to come. New to Bumblebee is a "Mini-Theater" mode, essentially longer pre-programmed action sequences with appropriate backing music, sound effects, and voice lines, with scenes featuring Bumblebee by himself and alongside Optimus Prime available to pick from. And if all that weren't enough, you can program any number of poses and movement sequences using the app.

:The lack of transformation allowed Robosen to slightly beef up Bumblebee's flexibility and movement compared to Prime, with them advertising a state-of-the-art gait algorithm that allow's Bumblebee's two walking speeds to appropriately match your movements, as well as a built-in 6-axis IMU (internal measuring unit) to detect your posture, enabling Bumblebee to perform more difficult poses and automatically stand back up if he falls. Although he still lacks wrist and foot rotation like Prime, Bumblebee ''does'' have partial neck rotation, allowing him to look to his left or right without rotating his body. He can also stand up without being powered on; although he will hunch forward a bit on his knees when powering off, his legs can be straightened out a bit more with no worry of him falling over afterwards, likely thanks to his large feet.

:Bumblebee was first shown off at the Middle East Film and Comic Con in March 2023, with Robosen later uploading a promotional video to Weibo in May. He was made available to buy from Robosen's online store on June 20, 2023 without any advance warning, with orders shipping out from that date on.

*'''Bumblebee G1 Flagship''' (2025)
**''Accessories'': Blaster, [[collector coin]], power adapter, data cable

:"G1 Flagship" Bumblebee is another programmable Robosen robot, but this time it fully transforms into a licensed VW Beetle. The figure responds to user input with 37 servo motors, 67 microchips, and over 200 voice clips from G1 actor [[Dan Gilvezan]] - the first Transformers toy to include his voice! In robot mode it stands 15" tall and, like the other Robosen figures, can be controlled both by spoken commands and the app.

:The figure was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on [[March 27]], [[2025]], with a preorder pricing of $949 valid through [[April 26]], after which the price went up to $1,299.

:There are a few transformation steps that are not clear in the instructions: The tops of his doors need to be pushed underneath his windows to lock into place. There are tabs on his forearms that go into the black armatures between the wheels to help secure them. The front bumper should be slid down for robot mode. Also, be careful not to push the windshield/neck area too far back in robot mode as it can get stuck and cause paint chipping in the corners.

:Bumblebee was packaged with [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Reactivate|Starscream]]. This boxset was abruptly revealed by [[Toys"R"Us]] Canada on October 18, 2023, after nearly ten months of silence regarding the then-upcoming ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' online game, and a little over a year before the game would be officially cancelled. Notably, stock photography of the box and the official product copy use "Rise", an earlier name for the game. The game's final name was shown on the box during the Hasbro Pulse Fanstream on November 14th, 2023. The figure itself is molded with the year 2020, suggesting it was meant for an ''even earlier'' release date, delayed by the game's troubled production.

:Released as part of the ''[[Studio Series]]'' A-Level distribution, Bumblebee transforms into an unlicensed squared-off Volkswagen Beetle (with the roof and rear of [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]]'s Mazda Familia 1500XG alt-mode), with the Penny Racer-like proportions of his original toy and cartoon appearances. He includes a blaster (based on the [[generic Autobot laser pistol]] design) which can be pegged onto the back of both modes.

: In vehicle mode, Bumblebee ends up with two Autobot [[insignia]]—one in the middle of his roof (cartoon-accurate for robot mode) and one off-centre on the hood (accurate for vehicle mode). The mixture of normal yellow plastic, slightly paler [[unpaintable plastic]], and yellow paint-applications for the roof, gives him a somewhat disjointed appearance in this mode. Due to portions of his windows being made of dark gray unpaintable plastic parts, the rest of the windows were also colored dark gray for consistency, instead of a screen-accurate blue. But hey, now it's an [[#The Transformers|original toy]] reference!

: As with other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the movie's ending scene, where Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobots escape from the depths of Unicron.

: This mold was also used to make [[Bumper (G1)#Age of the Primes|Bumper]].

:Commemorating the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers'' brand, ''[[Missing Link]]'' Bumble is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' figure. Though near-identical to the original on the surface (complete with "battle-mask" face!), this figure uses modern toy engineering advances to give the toy a mechanical overhaul, granting it a ''significantly'' wider range of [[articulation]], including shoulders, elbows, knees, "neck" rotation, outward leg motion, and an ankle tilt. In terms of weaponry, Bumble wields a metallic chrome laser pistol, styled after his weapon from the cartoon, which can be stowed away in his (officially-licensed) "penny-racer" style Volkswagen Type 1 alt-mode. Bumble also comes with a collector's card and a sticker sheet, with both the standard Autobot insignia and a pair of stickers designed to make Bumble resemble his original ''The Transformers'' package art available to use. As with ''Missing Link'' Convoy, Bumble and all his pack-ins are neatly inserted into a polystyrene tray.

:''Missing Link'' Bumble was officially revealed in early May 2024, and shortly afterwards went up for pre-order on Japanese retail sites for a November 2024 release.

:As you might expect, the tooling for this figure was also used to make a simultaneously-released ''Missing Link'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Missing Link|Cliffjumper]].

:''Missing Link'' "Bumble (Anime Type)" is a [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] redeco and retool of the above figure, with a new face, white headlights, charcoal bumper and limbs, yellow forearms, and transparent blue windshields. He has a new backplate sticker, based on the detail on back of Bumble's cartoon car mode, and features a [[rubsign]] on the bottom of his right foot. Bumble comes with his laser pistol, now light gray instead of chromed, and a collector card.

{{toydesigner|[[Samuel Liltorp Johnson]] ([[LEGO]])|[[Nathan Davis]] and [[Ashwin Visser]] (prints/stickers), [[Yoel Mazur]] (new elements), [[Joe Kyde]] (initial concept)}}<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spider_Sam_/status/1801317746422202837 Credit reel for LEGO Bumblebee] from [[LEGO]] designer [[Samuel Liltorp Johnson]] on Twitter</ref>

: Bumblebee is the second collaboration between [[Hasbro]] and [[LEGO]] released under LEGO's ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Icons|Icons]]'' theme, following [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#LEGO|10302 Optimus Prime]], and is designed to be in scale with the aforementioned model of the Autobot leader. Like Optimus, he can transform from a fully brick-built G1-style robot to a vaguely-Type 1-esque car with opening doors (but no interior) without needing to be disassembled and reassembled... ''mostly,'' as his front windshield [[Partformer|must be removed for transformation]]. The removed windshield can be folded in half and stored by pegging onto the studs on the spare tire on Bee's back, like a little winged jetpack that can ''arguably'' serve as a homage to the door-wing design seen on the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|live-action]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Aligned versions]] of the character. In addition to optional stickers depicting "I ♡ Cybertron" and "[[Roll out|ROLL OUT]]" bumper stickers, Bumblebee includes two choices of stickered license plates, each reading "BMBL84" and "[[Goldbug (G1)|GLDBUG]]". Both license plates include a tiny, simplified illustration of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and a small reference to the premiere date of the G1 cartoon: [[September 17]], [[1984]]. The optional "Roll Out" sticker also homages the booster rocket sticker of Bumblebee's original toy.

: He is armed with a likewise brick-built blaster (which cannot be stored or attached in vehicle mode, sadly), and just like Optimus, also includes an ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Ultimate Collector's Series|Ultimate Collector's Series]]''-styled display plaque featuring Bumblebee's name (in both English and Ancient Autobot), function, motto, and [[Tech Spec]]s. The display plaque is designed to have exposed studs on its backside, allowing the unused license plate to be stored there.

: Unfortunately, also like Optimus, stability concerns over Bumblebee's top-heavy robot mode mean that he too lacks any knee articulation... but ''un''like Optimus, Bee doesn't have any thigh swivels or ankle tilt either. Also, his crotch plate cannot hinge up if assembled as designed, which heavily restricts any forward motion of his legs unless the torso is creatively mistransformed or modified. Bummer.

**''Pieces'': '''237'''

: Released as part of LEGO's ''BrickHeadz'' theme of [[super deformed]] characters (a line launched by the Danish brand in 2016 as a competitor of sorts to [[Funko Pop!|Funko Pops]]), this set includes two builds of Bumblebee, one in his robot mode and another in his vehicle mode - the latter bearing some very ''Penny Racers'' / [[Choro-Q]]-reminiscent proportions, taking after his original toy - both of which can be built and displayed separately. Like the rest of the ''BrickHeadz'' toyline, he features no stickers, with all of his details being printed onto the pieces instead, which comes in rather handy for Lego MOC designers who might want to reuse the insignia and all the other printed details included in this set.

:He has no accessories and, as customary with ''BrickHeadz'' toys, no articulation to speak of, but is be very proficient at just standing cutely! The car on the other hand, can be popped off the base and rolled around!

:A common gag across BrickHeadz toys is the inclusion of pink bricks within the structure of their heads, suggesting the characters' brains. Bumblebee and his wave-mate [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#BrickHeadz|Optimus Prime]], however; actually have transparent pink bricks inside their heads, representing Energon cubes instead!

:Unusually for the ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' line, Bumblebee is not a reissue of his original toy, but a redeco of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|''War For Cybertron Trilogy'' Bumblebee]], aiming for G1 toy accuracy. While the nostalgic card-back packaging depicts the original G1 Bumblebee toy with masked head in place, the toy features the cartoon-derived head from prior uses of the mold.

:Bee's neck assembly has been reverted back to the taller "collar" molding seen on the initial Netflix release, but not on the previous Goldbug retool.

Aside from the wing doors, Bumblebee only comes with an additional sawblade arm, intended to be used by the same line's Starscream.

The black plastic and paint are now grey, the yellow plastic is more orange, the robot face is now matte painted instead of silver, the clear blue plastics are a paler shade, and the flying saucer segments on his legs are painted to achieve a better color match. This version comes in a set that includes similar touch-ups of the "Origin" pre-Earth bodies of teammates [[Jazz (G1)/toys#DCScybertron|Jazz]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Dramatic Capture Series|Wheeljack]].

{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Mark Watts]] (packaging artist)}}

: Part of the original 1984 range of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' Autobot [[Mini-Vehicle]]s, Cliffjumper began life as the [[super deformed]] "[[Choro-Q|Penny Racer]]"-style ''[[Micro Change]]'' "MC-04 #01 [[Porsche]] {{w|Porsche 924|924 Turbo}}" - although, in reality; most of his design traits are based on the later Porsche 924 Carrera GT model, with only his hood scoop being closer to the Turbo. Though broadly similar in construction to [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Bumblebee]] and commonly called a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of him by fans, Cliffjumper is actually an entirely different mold that just uses the same [[transformation]] scheme. This confusion was not helped by the fact that both Cliffjumper and Bumblebee were released in both red and yellow during the first two years of the Generation 1 toyline; a move designed to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref>

:[[File:G1-toy Bumper.jpg|upright=1|left|thumb|''Technically'' also Cliffjumper. We ''dare'' official fiction to use this body as such.]]
: A yellow version of the ''Micro Change'' "MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG" mold was also available packaged on Cliffjumper cards through 1984, albeit in ''way'' smaller numbers than either of the normal color variants. As an entirely different mold, the fandom treated this toy not as a variant of Cliffjumper, but rather as a separate character they christened "[[Bumper (G1)#Toys|Bumper]]", which would get officially recognized as a new character decades later. The mold did not continue forward into 1985 as the normal Cliffjumpers did.

: In 1984, Cliffjumper and the other Mini Vehicles came packaged in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]; in 1985, they were switched to come in [[robot mode]], a change preceded by the addition of a picture of their vehicle modes to the front of their cards. The same year, the Autobot [[insignia]] on Cliffjumper's roof/chest was replaced with a heat-activated [[rubsign]]. Later in 1985, Cliffjumper and the Mini-Vehicles came packaged with [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]].

: When he was released in Japan in 1985, "Cliff" came in a small box rather than a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol.

: Cliffjumper was also sold in several countries south of the US in a wide variety of colors, which are covered in individual entries below (simply to keep this entry from getting too cluttered).

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (''Listen 'n Fun'', 1985)}}</ul>

: Cliffjumper was packaged with an audio cassette featuring the story "[[Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)|Sun Raid]]" as part of Hasbro's multi-brand ''[[Listen 'n Fun]]'' subline. Most of the toys packaged with this cassette were the yellow variant mentioned above, but exceptions do exist (see photo at right).

: As the other known ''Listen 'n Fun'' releases—including [[Tripwire (G.I. Joe)|Tripwire]] for ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' and "Ember" for ''[[My Little Pony]]''—had ''intentional'' deco changes from their original releases, it is possible that Cliffjumper becoming yellow was intentional as well.

{{-}}{{anchor|IGA}}
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)}}</ul>

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Cliffjumper came in five decoes: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, white, and flat silver. The white and silver variations are especially notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

: It is ''possible'' that the two red-faced Cliffjumpers are actually IGA's version of [[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]. In 1986, IGA released first-year Mini Vehicle molds in colors resembling their '86 Hasbro/Takara [[retool]]s on cards for those characters, and [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage01a-TailgateHubCap.jpg|early Hasbro production photos of Hubcap]] show him in white with a red face. Unfortunately, still-carded samples of these two variants have yet to surface and confirm this theory.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-multi|'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)}}</ul>

: Cliffjumper was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Carrera" (pronounced "ka-HEY-ra") - this time featuring a more accurate vehicle mode name! - and was initially available in two color schemes: his original red and black (albeit using a more vibrant shade of plastic), and metallic gold and black.

: Rather than having Autobot symbols, both are decorated with the thin tech-detail sticker from the original Takara ''Micro Change'' versions of the toy, and the kneecap sticker from [[Salt-Man Z]] on the back of the head-plate (replacing the ''Micro Change'' Japanese-text sticker). The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed, a change also present on the Estrela versions of the similarly-engineered [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Estrela|Volks / Bumblebee]] and [[Sedan (Robocar)|Sedan]] molds.

: Later, Estrela released blue and white versions of Carrera sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Carrera is considered to be a [[Carrera (G1)|separate character]] from Cliffjumper.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-multi|'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)}}</ul>

: The aforementioned white version of Carrera was released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, along with a new green redeco, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the green version have been found with a different chest sticker: a large yellow paper decal that also appears on some Antex releases of [[Windcharger (G1)#Antex|"Camaro" (aka Windcharger)]].

: The card photography shows both the red and golden versions of the toy, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)}}</ul>

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Cliffjumper by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro red and yellow versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

[[File:Lynsa-CliffjumperOrange.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|''(Peach version pictured)'']]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1987)}}</ul>

: Manufactured by [[Peru]]vian company [[Lynsa]] and sold in Peru and [[Chile]], this version of Cliffjumper is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, two different colorations have been confirmed: the original red-and-black color scheme (albeit in a more saturated tone), and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Cliffjumper all told, with the four others being unique to that market, but no one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

: As with the other Lynsa Minicars, this Cliffjumper is incredibly fragile, with his arms in particular being very prone to breakage. As such, given the rarity of this toy, whatever few copies of it still exist should be handled with ''exceptional'' care.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Keychain Mini-Vehicle, 2001 / 2003 / 2007)}}</ul>

: A keychain version of Cliffjumper was released by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The tech-detailing sticker behind his head was replaced by a second Autobot insignia sticker like [[Hubcap (G1)#Toys|Hubcap]] has.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots (Cliffjumper, [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Keychain|Bumblebee]], [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Keychain|Brawn]]) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Cliff|an evil clone]] of Cliffjumper.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

: This version of the mold was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Tap-Out (Universe)#Toys|Tap-Out]].

:One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with Cliffjumper as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese book, ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]''.

: This figure was the first instance of redecoing a Bumblebee toy into Cliffjumper without producing a new head, instead simply recoloring the original Bumblebee head, which would become common procedure for Cliffjumper toys to follow.

: He was only available in a three-piece set with [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Gong]] and the inappropriately-included [[Beachcomber (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Beachcomber]]. During the set's initial reveal, the Legends Class Bumblebee toy was in his place (as a placeholder), causing some confusion that Takara will release another Bumblebee toy.

He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either mode.

:This release features an extensive metallic red paint job (which almost looks magenta under certain lighting conditions) on the car mode panels, and on some of the robot mode's parts (such as the head and forearms), replaces the dark gray plastic of the Hasbro release with a lighter tone, and switches the transparent red paint on the wheels with a more opaque, metallic red. The rear portion of his roof features a more separated paint layout than the black paint of the ''Generations'' release, and the base panel his head is on features additional black paint, with both of these giving him a paint layout almost similar to Bumblebee's. In contrast to the final product, early photos of Cliffjumper showed him with pink flip out blades and details rather than yellow, while his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts the wheel coverings beside his feet as red instead of light gray.

He transforms into a muscle car that crossbreeds the rear of a Plymouth Barracuda with the front of a Dodge Challenger, and features flip-out triple-barreled blasters in each of his arms that can be swung out to replace his hands. He ''does'' have wrist articulation, but the plastic panels on the outer sides of his arms tend to get in the way, meaning his wrists can only easily rotate up to 90 degrees.

: Cliffjumper was originally only to be released as part of a big block of toys developed [[exclusive]]ly for release in China and other Hasbro Asia markets (which was myteriously referred to as "[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Exclusives|GDO]]"). However, [[Toys"R"Us]] picked up the whole lot of figures as part of a ''massive'' group of Transformers exclusives for U.S. and Canadian market release, just in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.

:Cliffjumper comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers".

: After years of mostly being a Bumblebee redeco, ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Cliffjumper is a cartoon-accurate mold (complete with accurate, non-Bumblebee head; although he does have Bumblebee's biceps), while omitting the Penny Racer aesthetic for his vehicle mode, transforming into a 1980s sports coupe that is strongly reminiscent of his original Porsche 924 alt-mode, though with a front end which resembles that of the {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}}. Cliffjumper also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Cliffjumper includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Undocumented in the instructions, Cliffjumper's ball-jointed neck is actually mounted on a hinge, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

: In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends class-sized figure. The rest of his price-point is made up for with his arsenal, that being [[Cliffjumper's bazooka|a large cannon]] similar to one he briefly used in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his wheels to form the [[hydrofoil]]s seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]". The backend of the cannon can fold out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder, meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car trunk can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.

:The promotional renders and early product samples showcased at conventions showed his weapons and skis being silver, while the final product had them cast in black plastic (with the guns being painted silver except for their handles). The majority of Cliffjumper is molded in black plastic with a generous coating of red paint. His forearms and most of his head appear to be the only pieces molded in red plastic.

:Similar to the first release of Starscream from the [[War for Cybertron: Siege|previous line]], Cliffjumper uses the movie variant of the Autobot insignia, rather than the traditional design. Due to the transformation engineering, the insignia is hidden away in robot mode, with no secondary insignia to display.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Cliffjumper's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Cliffjumper's piece of the map contains a labeled entry point to the "[[Dead Universe|DEAD UNIVERSE]]".

:His [[glass gas]] blaster was sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]].

:In Japan, Cliffjumper was a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

:Cliffjumper was retooled with a new head into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations Selects|Hubcap]] and [[Bug Bite (G1)#Generations Selects|Bug Bite]], ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Goldbug]], ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#WorldsCollide|Bumblebee]], and more extensively retooled into ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]], a reverse to the traditional norm.

: Pictures of stolen [[prototype|test shots]] of a ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Cliffjumper were circulated on the standard outlets for such things in July 2021. The design was a [[retool]] of MP-45 [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumble (Ver. 2.0)]]. In subsequent years there was no comment on such a toy from [[Hasbro]] or [[TakaraTomy]], nor did it appear on any retailer computer listings. It may be the case that, like the [[Unreleased toy|unreleased]] ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Notes|Jazz]], this Cliffjumper remains in limbo because [[Porsche]] denied the license at the time the prototype was produced.

:Released in the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line as part of the ''[[Studio Series]]'' line up, Cliffjumper is a redeco of the ''Earthrise'' toy above, replacing the translucent windshield with light blue opaque plastic and giving him the [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] gray and black arms and legs. Unlike the original ''Earthrise'' figure Cliffjumper is (mostly) cast in his intended colors as opposed to being made of black plastic painted red, greatly reducing the risk of paint chipping and scratching the original suffered from (mind the forearms, though). He now also sports two Autobot [[insignia]]; one on his hood, the other on his roof. Both insignia use the Generation 1 design, rather than the live-action film design that the ''Earthrise'' toy had. Additionally, Cliffjumper's bazooka has been repainted into a metallic blue to [[:File:Cliffgun.JPG|emulate]] the original animation.

:Both [[:File:Early-Buzzworthy-Cliffjumper-deco.jpg|the early stock images]] used on retail websites and stock renders on the back of the box, show Cliffjumper's windows cast in transparent blue plastic. The figure used for stock photos also uses a much darker shade of transparent blue compared to the ''Earthrise'' toy too. As the ID numbering for the main ''Studio Series'' line is ''still'' currently missing a placeholder for the number '''86-13''', it is ''very'' likely that this translucent plastic version of Cliffjumper was intended for the mainline release outside of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lines' test run with opaque plastic windows. For whatever reason, this release has not yet come to fruition. That being said, unlike the original figure, this releases' windows are a uniform light blue, instead of a mix of translucent blue and opaque black.

:Commemorating the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers'' brand, ''[[Missing Link]]'' Cliff is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' figure. Like said original figure, Cliff re-uses the same basic transformation scheme as his wave-mate, ''Missing Link'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Missing Link|Bumble]], this time by way of being a direct retool of Bumble; per TakaraTomy's product description, Cliff uses roughly 80% new tooling to give Cliff his distinct "penny-racer" style Porsche 924 alt-mode. Like the rest of the ''Missing Link'' line, Cliff takes advantage of modern toy engineering advances to give his mechanics a notable overhaul, enabling ''much'' more [[articulation]] compared to the original, including shoulders, elbows, knees, "neck" rotation, outward leg motion, and an ankle tilt.

: Cliff also comes with two shiny metallic weapons: in addition to a laser pistol (based on Cliff's own distinct pistol, rather than simply reusing Bumble's pistol) he also has [[Cliffjumper's bazooka|a bazooka]], directly modeled after the one seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]". Also packed in with Cliff are a collector's card and a sticker sheet, which lets you choose to display Cliff with either the standard Autobot insignia or the noticeably stretched version seen on his original package art. Like all other ''Missing Link'' releases, Cliff and all his pack-ins are neatly inserted in a polystyrene tray.

:''Missing Link'' Cliff was officially revealed in early May 2024, and shortly afterward went up for pre-order on Japanese retail sites for a November 2024 release.

: Unlike Bumble who is licensed, Cliff does not feature a Porsche logo on the back of the packaging.

===Happy Meal Toy===
[[File:Mcdonalds cliffjumper.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (1985)

:Non-poseable, non-transforming figurines of Cliffjumper and three of his Mini-Vehicle chums (Bumblebee, [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] and Brawn) made up the very first line of Transformers [[List of Transformers restaurant promotions|Happy Meal toys]]. Alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: in addition to his traditional red and black, Cliffjumper is known to have been available in green and black, blue and black, blue and red, black and red, and cyan and black.

:A tiny generic red car representing "Carrera" (Cliffjumper per his original toy name in Brazil) was included as a pawn in [[Estrela]]'s ''[[Jogo dos Transformers]]'' board game. He is not directly named, simply being called the "carrinho vermelho" (little red car) in the game's instructions, but his identity is revealed as a pair of cards featuring art of his original toy in vehicle mode are also included. He comes with a small sticker that's placed on the bottom of the car representing his robot mode, thus allowing him to roughly "transform" by being placed vertically - a little bit like what [[Robot Powered Machines]] would do about a pair of decades later.

:This same car was recolored to represent [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Estrela|Volks (AKA Bumblebee)]], [[Windcharger_(G1)#Estrela|Camaro (AKA Windcharger)]], and [[Sedan (Robocar)|Sedan]] in the same board game.

:Cliffjumper was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Cliffjumper was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Cliffjumper was available as part of a 9-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Dinosauruer Strategy Game and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''28'''

:The Cliffjumper figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (28, in Cliffjumper's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

:A new-head retool of [[Threezero]]'s [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Threezero|MDLX Bumblebee]], Cliffjumper is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Cliffjumper is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like ''Figma'' and ''S.H. Figuarts''. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and heads, with the alternate visored face specifically resembling Bumblebee's G1 toy. The three pairs of hands he comes with are relaxed splayed-open hands, closed fists, and posed hands meant to hold his included Laser Blaster (which in turn is based on Bumblebee's pistol used in the cartoon). His back tire is also removable.

:While stock photos (at right) show him with the standard Autobot insignia, the final product uses the movie variant instead.

:In the Unites States, he is a ''PX Previews'' exclusive.

Cliff's eyes and window detailing are made from a special, sparkly fabric which shimmers a little under light.

:Cliffjumper was released as part of the first wave of Mochibots plush toys, alongside Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Shattered Glass Optimus Prime in 2023. This line was exclusive to China and Japan, with almost all of them being locked to Asia via [[amiami|amiami's]] storefront.

*The ''[[Microman]]'' ''[[Micro Change]]'' toy that would become Cliffjumper was also available in light blue. To date, this deco has never been used in ''Transformers'' outside of Mexico.
*Though often a straight redeco of Bumblebee in non-Japanese countries, there has yet to be a Cliffjumper produced by TakaraTomy that is a straight redeco of the same line's Bumblebee.
