Bot Shots

In the beginning I was... a cube.
  • Optimus Prime (Bot Shot, 2012)
    • Series: 1
    • Number: B003
      • Fist strength: 410
      • Blaster strength: 850
      • Sword strength: 370
Part of the first wave of Bot Shots, Optimus Prime is a teeny little longnosed semi truck with "trailer", with a spring-loaded automatic transformation to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels. His truck mode and robot body are influenced by the live-action Optimus Prime, while his head is taken from the original. His blue paint is light and sparkly, his red paint is dull, and his optics are yellow.
This toy was given away free to attendees of Hasbro's "Collector-Fan Media Day" 2012, slightly altered by a "Toy Fair 2012" sticker applied to the cardback.
This mold was also used to make Nemesis Prime.


  • Optimus Prime Launcher (Launcher, 2012)
    • Series: 1
    • Number: BL001
      • Fist strength: 920
      • Blaster strength: 450
      • Sword strength: 280
A redeco of the individually-carded Optimus, this version of Optimus comes with a large trailer that pops open to form a battle station with a spring-loaded launching platform. He appear to have the same plastic colors as the single release, and the same set of paint operations, but his paint is done in different shades; his blue is dark and metallic and his red is bright.



  • Battle for the Matrix (Multi-pack, 2012)
    • Series: 1
    • Number: UB001
      • Fist strength: 835
      • Blaster strength: 505
      • Sword strength: 275
This version of Optimus is a multi-pack release of the Optimus Prime Launcher. Compared to the standard release of the Optimus Prime Launcher, the figure itself has grey wheels, blue optics, and added red paint on its upper arms, while the launcher has grey plastic in place of black, a smaller Autobot symbol on its side, and gold paint on its interior. The stock photography on the package shows that the Optimus figure was planned to have a blue stripe on its built-in "trailer", but this was omitted on the released version.
The set also comes with Megatron with his launcher, Brawl, and Bumblebee, as well as a cardboard token representing the Matrix.


  • Optimus Prime (Bot Shot, 2012)
    • Series: 1
    • Number: Super Bot 004
      • Fist strength:
      • Blaster strength:
      • Sword strength: 995
"Super Bot" Optimus Prime is a redeco of the normal toy in translucent blue plastic. As a Super Bot, he was packed one per case and has higher overall stats than normal Bot Shots.
