@@ Line 231: / Line 231: @@
 :''[[Studio Series]]'' Commander Class Optimus Prime comes with a cartoon accurate rendition of his Ion Blaster, cast in black plastic and coated in gunmetal paint. It has a 3 mm peg for [[Fire Blast effect]]s. The blaster can store on a tab on his back in robot mode, in a rectangular slot in his truck bed, inside of his trailer, or be carried around by Roller. However, the tight fit of the truck bed storage and Roller can cause paint chipping. Due to the truck bed storage, the blaster's handle is a bit short, just barely fitting into Prime's hand.
