			:Announced as the flagship release in [[TakaraTomy]]'s [[Transformers Collaborative\|''Collaborative'']]-adjacent licensed crossover line ''[[T-SPARK#Synergenex\|Synergenex]]'', "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#ShieldD\|Shield-D-Prime]]" combines [[T-SPARK]]'s three pillar brands of ''Transformers'', ''Zoids'', and ''[[Diaclone]]''. This exotic variant of Optimus Prime turns into a 1/60 scale iteration of ''Zoids'' mascot [[Shield Liger]], and includes a working cockpit for the included duo of [[Diaclone (faction)#Synergenex\|dianaut pilots]] with light-up features and a motorized jaw gimmick in classic ''Zoids'' style powered by a pair of AA batteries. Accessories include a [[Freezon (substance)\|Freezon]]-infused variant of Optimus's signature [[Ion blaster#Synergenex\|ion blaster]], a secondary "bullet core" modular cockpit cross-compatible with swathes of the ''Diaclone'' toyline, a "triple shock cannon" intended for the liger's chest and a "twin FZ blaster" that lives on the tip of the tail. All of which can be cobbled together with the figure's removable back armor and tail to create a "Beam Cannon Jet" or really any lump of guns that your heart desires via the figure's liberal use of a ''Transformers''-style [[5 mm post\|peg-and-port system]]. It bears remarking that the modern ''Diaclone'' toyline favors 3 and 4 mm connections so do not necessarily set your heart on compatibility with the 5 mm standard of your ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)\|Generations]]'' collection. Last but not least the set includes an adorable teeny tiny "Road Viper" motorcycle for the dianauts that can store in the chest cavity of beast mode via an opening ramp.
