He transforms into an off-road vehicle and comes with numerous weapons, all of which peg via 5 mm post onto his vehicle rear/legs, shoulders, upper & lower arms, and hands: a spring-loaded, missile-firing launcher, a pistol, a rifle, and two small cannons that respectively form the scope and stock of the rifle. All of his weapons can combine to form an unwieldy superweapon. The flaws from the original mold are likely to be retained from this release.		:Available in the ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)\|Timelines]]'' "Generation 2" 2-pack alongside [[Hound (G1)/toys#Timelines\|Sgt.

	: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.

	: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.		:A tall, top-heavy model, stability concerns mean he is not as articulated as a normal action figure, notably lacking bending knees.

	: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!		:Prime comes with a plethora of brick-built accessories.

			:Speaking of mistakes... His [https://images.brickset.com/sets/large/10302-1.jpg?202110181055 product stock photo] is actually slightly mistransformed: the panels that make up the sides of his chests aren't pushed into his torso, which in turn makes his hips look significantly chubbier than they should be (oddly, his other promotional images don't make the same mistake). Truly, they learned [[Stock photography#Problems with stock photos\|a lot with Hasbro]]!

	: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.		: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.
