Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise
From MediaWiki
Optimus Prime is a bit of a shill.
Stamp Bot
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG
- 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 (1984?)
- 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.
Gold Convoy Trophy
- 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 item way back in the 1980s. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
Vehicle Play Tent
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 colours of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less show-accurate but more shiny. The plain-colours 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)
- 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 (2000)
- Also available in the first Super Collection Figure wave was a rare "chase" version of the Prime figure, decorated in metallic paint and replacing his gun-wielding right hand with his energon-axe.
- Convoy (Trailer Mode) (2000)
- 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.
- Convoy w/ Megatron Gun (2000)
- 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 Generation 1 cartoon episode "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3".
- Convoy Damage Version (2001)
- 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.
- Convoy (2001)
- 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. In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectable Metroplex build-a-figure.
- Convoy w/ Matrix (2001)
- This version of Prime was a chase figure in the fifth Super Collection Figure act, and depicted the Autobot leader, rendered in metallic silver, opening the Matrix.
- Convoy w/ Megatron Gun (2002)
- The sixth Super Collection Figure wave featured yet another mass-release version of Prime. Again wielding Megatron, much like the chase figure from the second wave, this figure came with an interchangeable empty fist. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio, and in eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's Grand Maximus build-a-figure.
- Star Convoy (2002)
- 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, and in eight out of every ten cases, the colored version came with the right arm for the wave's Scorponok build-a-figure.
- Exclusive Convoy Set (2002)
- Available exclusively at the Japanese Wonder Festival convention, this set included the "Convoy w/ Megatron Gun" figure from the sixth wave, and the vehicle-mode Prime from act 2, both decorated in colored metallic paint. The set was limited to only 1000 units.

Both featured new battle damage paint operations, and came with the interchangeable energon-axe and mace weapons from their first-wave chase figures. As with the Wonder Festival set, this set was also limited to 1000 units.
Heroes of Cybertron
When the Super Collection Figure series was imported to become Hasbro's Heroes of Cybertron line, the figures were all cast entirely in translucent colored plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of their heads, giving them all a light-piping gimmick. Unlike the Japanese figures, they were sold in individual blister packaging, with character profile cards.
- Optimus Prime (2002)
- A Heroes of Cybertron release of the first Super Collection Figure Optimus Prime figure.
- Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor (2002)

- Optimus Prime with Plasma Weapon (2002)
- This second-wave Heroes of Cybertron release of the chase figure from the first Super Collection Figure wave was a little different from its Japanese progenitor, lacking its metallic paint.
- Powermaster Optimus Prime Spark Attack (2002)
- Another unusual figure, this second-wave figurine is a redeco of the first God Ginrai/Powermaster Prime Apex Armor PVC figure, cast in translucent orange plastic. The figure emulates God Ginrai performing his "God Fire Guts" attack, although the Super Collection Figure Fire Guts God Ginrai figure was actually metallic golden.
- 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. It came with the head and weapons for the wave's collectable Metroplex build-a-figure.

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.

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)

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 Vs Ravage (2007)
- Packed with Ravage, Optimus Prime is one of the first figures in the Transformers segment of the Heroes franchise. As with all Heroes figures, Optimus Prime is a simple, yet well-detailed two-inch tall figurine with exaggerated, cartoony proportions. 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.
- This version of Optimus was later also released as part of a set with a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle.
- Decepticon Sneak Attack (2007)
- "Supermetal Finish" Optimus Prime is a special shiny redeco of the previous Robot Hero. He came in a Wal-Mart exclusive multipack also including "Hologram" Mirage, Cliffjumper, "Supermetal Finish" Megatron and Skywarp.

- Packed with Unicron, a second SD Optimus Prime for the Transformers segment of the Heroes franchise. This version of the Chibimus Prime has him opening the Matrix of Leadership to shine the Autobots' darkest hour. Better him than Rodimus.
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)
- Series number: 019
- 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(ine), 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.
Mighty Muggs
- Optimus Prime (2009)
- Accessories: Ion rifle
- This super-deformed, non-transformable Optimus Prime figure uses the standard Mighty Muggs body template, with swivel joints in his neck and limbs. He comes with a similarly super-deformed version of his ion rifle.

- An exclusive to the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, this Optimus Prime Mugg has a shiny metallic finish.
Transformers Wacky Wobblers
- Optimus Prime (2009)

- The speaker is redecoed to create Ultra Magnus Speaker.
Transformers Backpacks
- Optimus Prime (2009)
- Made by Fab Starpoint, these backpacks are allegedly "engineered for style, safety, comfort... and saving the Universe!" The Generation 1 Optimus Prime design features a stock silhouette of Optimus Prime surrounded by stars, like the Paramount Pictures logo, while on the lower compartment there is a gigantic Autobot sigil.
