Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise
From MediaWiki
Optimus Prime is a bit of a shill.
Stamp Bot
- Optimus Prime (1984)
- Made by HG Toys, Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.
Knitting Pattern
- Wendy DK 3015 (1986)
- Produced by U.K. company Wendy DK and designed by Joy Gammon, this pamphlet contained patterns for two Transformers-themed sweaters, one featuring Optimus Prime in robot mode, one featuring Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. The patterns were sized as Children's Large, so you're going to have to upscale it quite a bit if you want your
girlfriendmom to knit you one.
Oral Care Station
- Optimus Prime Oral Care Station (1984/85?)
- An electric toothbrush in the likeness of Optimus Prime. A battery-operated feature causes the toothbrush (attached at Prime's left wrist) to move back and forth. The set also included a cup for water, an extra brush head, and a stand to hold the various accoutrements.
The Transformers Cookie Jar
- The Transformers Cookie Jar (1984?)
- A ceramic cookie jar in the likeness of Optimus Prime's head. The top of Prime's head lifts off for the storage of delicious baked goods or Energon or what-have-you. The cookie jar was manufactured by Great American Housewares under license from Hasbro.
Transformers Milk Caramel
- Convoy (1985)
- ID number: 1
- A small soft-rubber figurine (known as a keshigomu in Japan) of Optimus Prime was released as part of Kabaya's line of Transformers Milk Caramel candy toys. Like all the figures from the 1985 range, Prime came blindpacked, and was available in a variety of colors including white, blue, yellow, green and orange. As the name of the series suggests, he came with a piece of caramel candy.
- Convoy (1985)
- ID number: 1
- A second Optimus Prime keshigomu was included in the second wave of Milk Caramel figures, sporting some broader proportions and more toy-based design cues like visible wheels, holding its gun in its left hand, rather than its right. This figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations; a baffling variant is known to exist with a Decepticon symbol on its left shoulder!
- Convoy (1985)
- ID number: 2
- The second Milk Caramel wave also contained a third Optimus Prime figure, largely identical to the second, except with its gun in its right hand, and holding its left arm aloft. Again, this figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations.
Transformers Choco
- Convoy (1985)
- A small solid-color snap-together model kit of Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their Transformers Choco line, coming packaged with small chocolate candies similar to M&M's called "Chocolate Dots". The kit can transform from robot to vehicle mode, though this version of Prime doesn't have any hands.
- Convoy (1985)
- Accessories: Two fists
- A second Choco version of Prime was upsized from the first a little, and was given a pair of removable fists, the right one clutching Prime's ion blaster.
Transformers Gum
- Convoy (1985)
- Accessories: Two fists, ion blaster
- In addition to the small Choco model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their Transformers Gum line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.
- Convoy (2010)
- Accessories: Ion blaster
- The first wave of 2010's revival of the Transformers Gum series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ungodly amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.
- In terms of transformation, Convoy partially partforms, as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.
- Convoy (2010)
- Accessories: Smokestacks/laser cannon
- The second Prime figure in the 2010 Gum line was this kit of his Classics/Henkei! Henkei! body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses lots of stickers. It comes with the Classics' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.
- Star Convoy (2014)
- Accessories: Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus
- Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.
Hero Set
- Convoy (1985)
- ID number: 01
- Accessories: Laser rifle
- A large keshigomu of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee Maruka Toys. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Prime figure came with a removable laser rifle, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.
Decoy
- Cybertron Hero Collection 22 (multi-pack, 1986)
- Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game (board game, 1986)
- Optimus Prime was among the many characters rendered by Takara as part of their series of 1.5" keshigomu figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Prime was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his Tech Specs, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.
- Optimus Prime (1987)
- Checklist number: 31
- The Prime figurine was later brought over to Hasbro markets as part of the "Decoy" promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (31, in Prime's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded Throttlebots, Aerialbots, Protectobots and Technobots.
Vinyl figurine
- Scramble Gun Set (1986)
- Japanese ID number: Part.1
- Optimus Prime was one of several characters released by Seven and Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of different novelty sets. Prime came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four randomly assigned peach-colored decoy figures. In "Part.2" of the set Prime is replaced by a vinyl Ultra Magnus.
Gold Convoy Trophy
- Optimus Prime (trophy, 1988)
- A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished Takara employees and as a Lucky Draw (alongside the Silver Chromedome Trophy) in TV Magazine in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
Vehicle Play Tent
- ERO (1984?)
- The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.
Generation 2
- Optimus Prime (Dairy Queen promotion, 1994)
- Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.
- These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.
- Optimus Prime Inflatable Bop Bag
- Released in 1993 by Kid Dimension, a subsidiary of Hasbro,[1] this 3 foot tall Inflatable Bop Bag featured the likeness of Optimus Prime above the Transformers Generation 2 logo. Supposedly to encourage kids to punch out Optimus Prime?
Metalforce
- Convoy (2000)
- Japanese ID number: MFC-01
- Accessories: Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand
- Metalforce Convoy is a large vinyl figurine sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.
- The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his Matrix of Leadership, as is a Movie-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allow him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands and helmet, for some reason...
- Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less show-accurate but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and has an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per the cartoon, while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.
Choro-Q
- Convoy (2000)
- Choro-Q Convoy is a redeco of the Domra Truck toy from Takara's Choro-Q toyline of non-transforming super-deformed vehicles. He was an exclusive at BotCon Japan 2000, and features a pull-back motor and a rear license plate that reads "BotCon Japan 2000".
- Along with Choro-Q Ligier and Megatron, Convoy was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.
Super Collection Figure
- Convoy (2000)
- Act: 1
- Accessories: Stand
- A three-inch tall PVC figurine of Optimus Prime was available as part of the first wave of Takara's Super Collection Figure line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.
- Convoy with Ax (2000)
- Act: 1
- Accessories: Stand
- Also available in the first Super Collection Figure wave was a rare "Secret Figure" version of Optimus (斧付きコンボイ, ono-tsuki konboi), decorated in metallic paint and replacing his gun-wielding right hand with his energon-axe.
- It was presumably released at a ratio of one per every ten cases; while this has not been officially confirmed, later waves gave these odds for Secret Figures.
- Convoy (Trailer Mode) (2000)
- Act: 2
- Part of the second Super Collection Figure act, this is the only SCF figure of a vehicle mode Transformer. As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.
- Unlike every other figure in the line (excluding build-a-figures), this one does not come with a figure stand, because... well, what would be the point?
- Megatron & Convoy (2000)
- Act: 2
- Accessories: Stand
- The second Super Collection Figure wave, like the first, also had its own Optimus Prime chase figure, this one wielding Megatron in gun mode and wearing Sideswipe's rocket pack, as seen in the original The Transformers cartoon episode "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3".
- This was presumably also released at a ratio of one per every ten cases.
- Damaged Convoy (2001)
- Act: 3
- Accessories: Stand
- There was no mass-release Optimus Prime figure for the third Super Collection Figure act, but there was another rare chase figure, this time a battle-damaged version of the original figure from the first act, referencing his injuries from The Transformers: The Movie.
- Again, it was probably released in one out of every ten cases. He replaced the clear version of Bumblebee in the case.
- Convoy (B) (2001)
- Act: 4
- Accessories: Stand
- For the fourth Super Collection Figure wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.
- Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)
- In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible Metroplex build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.
- Convoy (2001)
- Act: 5
- Accessories: Stand
- This version of Prime was a chase figure in the fifth Super Collection Figure act, and depicts the Autobot leader, rendered in metallic silver, opening the Matrix, referencing the end of "The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2". This figure was packed in at a confirmed ratio of one per every ten cases.
- Convoy (C) with Megatron Gun Mode (2002)
- Act: 6
- Accessories: Extra right fist, stand
- The sixth Super Collection Figure wave featured yet another mass-release version of Optimus. While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.
- In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's Grand Maximus build-a-figure, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.
- Star Convoy (2002)
- Act: 8
- Accessories: Stand
- After taking a break for the seventh wave, Prime returned for the eighth Super Collection Figure wave, which would prove to be the final Generation 1-themed set of figures. This figure of Prime in his Star Convoy body was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.
- In eight out of every ten cases, the colored version came with the right arm for the wave's Scorponok build-a-figure; this part could be in either full color or pewter, at a 4:4 ratio.
- Special "The Earth Obliteration Plan": Exclusive Convoy Set (Feb 3 2002)
- Accessories: Stand
- Available exclusively at the Wonder Festival convention, this set includes two metallic-paint versions of Convoy figures from Act 2: the "Convoy w/ Megatron Gun" chase figure (minus the jetpack), and the truck-mode "figure".
- The set was limited to only 1000 units.
- Exclusive to the Tokyo Game Show 2002, this special set includes a new version of the original first-Act Optimus Prime figure, along with a new version of the first-Act Megatron. Both are cast in transparent plastic and completely painted over in a grimy, battle-damaged look. Both also come with the interchangeable energon-axe and mace weapons from their first-wave chase figures. Completing the theme of the set is the backdrop of the packaging interior, which depicts Sherman Dam.
- Curiously, Optimus features the larger, rounded-off antennae of the Hasbro Heroes of Cybertron version of the mold, which was in production/circulation about the same time.
- As with the above Wonder Festival set, this set was also limited to 1000 units.
Heroes of Cybertron
- Optimus Prime (2002/2006)
- Part of the first wave of Hasbro's Heroes of Cybertron series, Optimus is a redeco of the standard Super Collection Figure Optimus mold, with a slight retooling to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae for safety reasons. Like all the standard Heroes figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a light-piping gimmick. There are a few other small deco differences to the Heroes version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.
- Optimus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived Heroes of Cybertron revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original The Transformers: The Movie. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him very similar to the original SCF toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the SCF version's chest-window light blue.
- Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor (2002)
- An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a redeco of God Ginrai, the double-armored-up form of Optimus's Super-God Masterforce lookalike Ginrai. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.
- This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Bomber the following year.
- Optimus Prime (2002)
- This second-wave Heroes of Cybertron release is a variation of the chase figure from the first Super Collection Figure wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the Heroes molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.
- Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Optimus. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding Megatron.)
- Powermaster Optimus Prime Spark Attack (2002)
- In a yet another unusual choice for the line, this second-wave figurine is a redeco of the first God Ginrai/Powermaster Prime Apex Armor PVC figure, cast in translucent orange plastic with red gradients and flame detailing, depicting a "spark attack" mode.
- This is a variant of the Super Collection Figure "God Fire Guts" God Ginrai chase figure, which had been rendered entirely in solid metallic gold paint.
- Optimus Prime with Communicator (2003)
- This fifth-wave Heroes of Cybertron figure is a release of the Prime figure from the fourth Super Collection Figure wave, depicting a weaponless Prime talking into the communicator in his left arm. He retains the helmet alterations of the previous versions of the figure.
- This toy also came with the head and weapons for the wave's collectible Metroplex build-a-figure.
Hard Hero
- Optimus Prime (Bust, 2002)
- Optimus Prime was the first Transformers bust released by Hard Hero. He is approximately six inches tall at the head (8.5 at the gun) and is made out of cold-cast porcelain. There were also a version of the bust signed by the sculptor, limited to 100 samples.
- Optimus Prime (Full figure statue, 2003)
- Hard Hero also created a 13-inch tall Optimus Prime statue. It is sculpted pointing with his left hand while holding his ion rifle in his right.
MyClone
- Optimus Prime
- Japanese ID number: MFT001 and MFT006
- Accessories: Display base
- Optimus Prime was released three times in the MyClone line, all in the first wave of toys. He was released in both robot and truck mode, while a clear Optimus in robot mode was one of two chase figures along with a clear Megatron.
Generation 1 Figure-Collection
- Convoy (gun) (2003)
- Japanese ID number: C-1
- Accessories: Display base
- At only one inch in height, this Optimus "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers Generation 1 Figure-Collection. The figure was rendered in both a standard "retro" black and white color scheme, and a rare full-color chase version, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.
- Convoy (pointing) (2003)
- Japanese ID number: C-2
- Accessories: Display base
- The second Prime figure in the Generation 1 collection was much like the first, only sculpted with an empty hand, pointing off into the distance like a lot of Optimus Prime figures are wont to do.
KT Figure Collection
- Convoy (KT Figure Collection, 2004)
- This figure was designed by Yuki Ohshima and produced by KT Figure Collection. The figure is actually a mini bust of Optimus Prime, which includes the head and the upper body without arms. The chest design comes with translucent blue windows and a grill on the midsection. There is also a button in the back. Pushing the button will open the chest and cause the Matrix to emerge, similar to the scene in The Transformers: The Movie.
- Convoy "Revival version" (Figure Ō exclusive, 2004)
- The 82nd issue of the hobby magazine Figure Ō came with a redeco version of Optimus Prime's mini bust. It is painted completely silver, making him appear to be coated with the special alloy from "The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2".
Palisades
- The War Within Optimus Prime (Palisades, 2005)
- 'The War Within Optimus Prime is a six-inch-tall polystone mini statue based on his appearance in the popular War Within comic book series. Prime stands on a silver Autobot-insignia stand, is decorated with dirt to simulate battle damage, and has articulation in his head and arms. The statue was limited to 1500 pieces worldwide.
Titanium Series
- War Within Optimus Prime (3" Robot Masters, 2006)
- Accessories: Ion Blaster, display stand
- War Within Optimus Prime is the second toy representation of Optimus Prime as he appears in War Within. Constructed partially of die-cast metal, this three inch version cannot transform and has some articulation, limited to his shoulders, head and waist.
- He is squat. Very squat.
- Optimus Prime (3" Robot Master, 2006)
- Accessories: Ion Blaster, display stand
- The first Titanium representation of G1 Optimus Prime has a well-proportioned sculpt based on his 20th Anniversary toy. Constructed partially of die-cast metal, this three inch version cannot transform and has some articulation, limited to his shoulders, head and waist.
- Optimus Prime (Battle Damaged) (3" Robot Master, 2006)
- Accessories: Ion Blaster, display stand
- This is a repaint of the 3" G1 Optimus Prime titanium figurine, with a 'battle-damaged' deco.
- Optimus Prime & Bumblebee (2-pack, 2007)
- Accessories: Ion Blaster, display stand
- A Toys 'R' Us exclusive two-pack, this set features "Supermetal Finish" (read: shiny) versions of the "Robot Master" Titaniums Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.
Diamond Select
- Optimus Prime (Diamond Select, 2007)
- A mini-bust of Optimus Prime based on his appearance in the comic was released by Diamond Select in 2007. The figure includes the upper body of Optimus Prime, carrying his laser rifle and posed as if preparing to charge. The Matrix of Leadership is sculpted into the base of the statue.
- Autobot Snow Globe (Diamond Select, 2007)
- Optimus Prime is also featured in Diamond Select's Autobot-themed snow globe, posing above a Mount St. Hilary base which also features the Ark and Omega Supreme. The globe was sculpted by Art Asylum.
- Final Battle Optimus Prime (Diamond Select, 2008)
- Final Battle Optimus Prime was exclusive to the online retailer Action Figure Xpress. He was sculpted by Mark Wong of Art Asylum and limited to 1000 pieces. Optimus Prime is shown after his climactic battle with Megatron during Transformers: The Movie; shortly before he passed the Matrix of Leadership (which is also removable here) to Ultra Magnus. His base features the life support readout that monitored both his declining health and eventual death.
- G1 Animated Optimus Prime (Diamond Select, 2008)
- G1 Animated Optimus Prime was exclusive to the 2008 San Diego Comic Con. He was sculpted by Mark Wong of Art Asylum and features a more matte color scheme to better match the cartoon's palette.
- Powermaster Optimus Prime (Diamond Select, 2010)
- This fourth Optimus Prime bust was to be based on his Powermaster incarnation, but appears to have been canceled.
 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
- Optimus Prime Bust Bank (Diamond Select, 2010)
- A 6-inch hollow Optimus Prime bust to keep your spare change safe! It would've featured articulation in its shoulders and neck, but like the Powermaster bust, it never saw release.
Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
First 4 Figures
- Snake-Eyes & Optimus Prime Statue (2007)
- First 4 Figures produced a statue based on the cover of issue 1 of G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers, featuring an Optimus Prime in the Cobra HISS tank body he used in that series. Prime is an 8-inch tall one-armed bust, and G.I. Joe's resident ninja Snake-Eyes stands battle-ready in his open palm.
- Storm Shadow & Optimus Prime Statue (2007)
- First 4 Figures's second G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers statue is 7.5 inches tall and is based on the cover of issue 5. This one depicts Cobra's own ninja, Storm Shadow, taking a stance above Optimus Prime's damaged head. The statue was limited to 1000 samples.
Transformers (2007)
- Optimash Prime (2007)
- Softimus Prime (2007)
- Softimus Prime is, as his name suggests, a plush G1 Optimus Prime toy. Obviously, he has no problems with articulation and passes the drop test with flying colors. His main draw is the ability to "transform" into his Freightliner FL86 vehicle mode by turning the plush toy inside out, his transformation roughly similar to the Powermaster cab Prime's. He features Movie-style faction symbols on his right arm and both sides of his cab mode. He is love.
Robot Heroes
- Optimus Prime & Ravage (Two-pack, 2007)
- Part of the first wave of Robot Heroes 2-packs (sold under the 2007 live-action-movie line branding), Optimus Prime is a simple, yet well-detailed two-inch tall figurine with exaggerated, cartoony proportions, with swivel articulation at the neck and shoulders. He is sculpted holding his Ion Blaster rifle in his right fist and his left arm in a pointing pose. He is also love, and demands that you pull his Finger of Doom.
- He was sold in a two-pack with Ravage, positioned in a way that gives an impression of him freaking out to Ravage's size.
- This version of Optimus was later also released as part of a set with a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle with no apparent changes.
- Optimus Prime (Single-pack, 2008)
- In some countries outside of North America, Optimus Prime was released individually in a blindpack with no notable changes.
- Decepticon Sneak Attack (Multi-pack, 2007)
- "Optimus Prime with Supermetal Finish" is a slightly-shinier redeco of the previous Robot Heroes figure; this is the most noticeable with his blue parts, which are now in a much brighter, richer gloss-blue paint rather than the unpainted darker-blue matte plastic of the two-pack version.
- He came in a Walmart exclusive multipack, alogn with Hologram Mirage, Cliffjumper, "Supermetal Finish" Megatron, and Skywarp.
- Optimus Prime with Supermetal Finish (Single-pack, 2008)
- "Supermetal Finish" Optimus Prime also saw release in a blindpack outside of North America.
- Optimus Prime & Unicron (Two-pack, 2007)
- Sold in the third wave of Robot Heroes, this version of Optimus is posed opening the Matrix of Leadership, complete with clear-plastic shine.
- He was packed with a very small Unicron.
- Optimus Prime (Single-pack, 2008)
- Just like the previous figures, the Matrix-bearing Prime also received a blindpacked release.
Attacktix
- Optimus Prime (Starter Set, 2007)
| ID number: | TF2-19 |
| Rarity: | |
| Faction: | Autobot |
| Class: | Leader |
| Special: | Last Stand - 13/26 (50%) success ratio |
| Point Cost: | 40 |
| Base Speed: | 6 |
| Attack Type: | Shooter (Force Blast) |
- Optimus Prime will shoot you down. He was released as part of the 2007 Starter Set along with Generation 1 Megatron, Energon Landquake and Cybertron Skywarp.
- Optimus' Last Stand special allows him to stand up if he's the only figure in your team left in play. If you're down to two men you might even be tempted to shoot your own man just to keep Optimus Prime in play. Don't though. Peter Cullen wouldn't approve.
- Sadly you can't bring him into play with the Cybertron Super Optimus Prime vehicle mode because he's not Super Optimus Prime.
Revoltech
- Convoy (2007/2014)
- Series number: 019
- Legacy of Revoltech ID number: LR-008
- Accessories: Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand
- A non-transforming but highly articulated Optimus Prime action figure, Revoltech Convoy uses the Revoltech "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of Pat "serfdom" Lee's interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.
- Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create Revoltech Ultra Magnus. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.
- The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).
- Unfortunately, Revoltech Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.
- In 2014, Revoltech Convoy was reissued as part of the Legacy of Revoltech line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.
Amazing Yamaguchi
- Convoy (2019)
- Series number: 014
- Accessories: Ion Blaster, Energon Axe, 1 pair of splayed hands, 1 pair of trigger hands, left clawed hand, right pointing hand, interlocked hand

Dinobots", and his giant basketball from "The Master Builders". He also includes a miniature Spike Witwicky figurine.

He also features articulation at the head, knees, shoulders, elbows, and even his chest.
- Unusually for a Nendoroid figure, this sculpt is produced by Toyhouse with Nendoron's supervision. This mold was later redecoed as Nemesis Prime.
