Prime

• Optimus Prime (Voyager, 3-31-2012)
  • Set ID number: AM-01
  • Micron ID number: M-01
  • Energon crystal: AP Pure

Available only with AM-01 Optimus Prime, O.P. transforms from a humanoid robot into a weapon combining Optimus's cannon and blade weapons (which were omitted from the Japanese release). He has numerous 5mm posts and holes that allow him to combine with other Arms Microns to form any number of "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons", though he is specifically called out as forming the lower-blade/guard portion of the Star Saber with B.2 and R.A. He also has a clear-plastic gem that is part of an as-of-yet-explained game system.

O.P. comes out of the package as a bunch of unpainted parts on runners, like a model kit.

• Shining O.P. (Promotional Micron, 6-30 2012)
  • Energon crystal: AP Pure

A clear-blue version of O.P. was given away to contestants in the "Arms Up Challenge" at the Next Generation World Hobby Fair Summer '12. The first challenge, limited to junior high students and younger, was simply a speed-trial assembly of Shining B.2. The second "Expert Department" challenge was a customization contest, where applicants of all ages could bring in their customized Transformers Prime toys.

• Battle Shield Optimus (Multi-pack, 8-12 2012)
  • Energon crystal: AP Pure

A gray version of O.P., dubbed O.P. A, was made available in the Japanese ToysЯUs exclusive Battle Shield Optimus multi-pack. The set included O.P. A, a redeco of AM-01 Optimus Prime, gold versions of the three Cosmotector Microns (Pral, Sais and Jayz), and a cardboard trailer unit that could serve as a Micron mounting base and carry a single Deluxe-class car.

Currently we have no idea what the "A" is supposed to stand for.
