'''Apex Armor''' is a battle suit which can provide the Autobot commander with weapon blast deflection in heated battles. When not used as armor, the suit can become a combat [[drone]] called the [[Apex Bomber]].


==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===

When war erupted between the newly-formed [[Decepticon]]s and the Autobot security force, [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]'s troops defended [[Kaon]]. The Autobots were not making any headway against the Decepticons, so Sentinel Prime decided he was "going Apex". His troops covered him while he drove to the Apex facilities to procure a set of Apex Armor. The council rejected his request to use the armor, so he blasted his way into the facility and took it anyway.

When Sentinel Prime returned to battle, he was challenged by [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]]. Megatron wasn't much of a match for the armored up Sentinel until Megatron exploited a weakness in the armor right under the chin of the helmet.

Something went "THOOOOOM!" and Sentinel Prime was left defeated in the bottom of a crater. Megatron used the armor to make a throne. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}}

: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.
