Toys
Energon
- Optimus Prime (Super, 2003, 2004)
- Japanese ID number: SC-01
- Accessories: Trailer, rifle, missile
- The Prime Force was included with Energon Optimus's first toy.
- Optimus's trailer is designed to carry his four drone-vehicles (the "Grand Force" in Japan): Fire-1 (fire truck), Copter-2 (helicopter), Digger-3 (drill tank with gear-wheel-activated spinning drill), and Submarine-4 (submarine). Each of these drones can attach to one of Optimus's limbs to form a variety of super modes (a combination the Japanese line dubbed "Grand Cross"). The base robot can also combine with Energon Wing Saber to form "Optimus Prime Fight Mode" and "Optimus Prime Flight Mode", and Omega Supreme to form "Optimus Supreme" (or "Powerlinx Omega Supreme", according to the toy packaging). The Omega Supreme combination can also employ the drone-units.
- The Prime Force was later redecoed into "assault vehicles" for Platinum Edition "Year of the Snake" Optimus Prime.
