Prepare yourself for the ultimate showdown on your shelf, because threezero is back with the latest addition to their Transformers: Bumblebee DLX collection—Optimus Prime, in all his Cybertronian glory. Yes. threezero is still at it even though most fans are already riding the Transformers One hype. This is also a testament to the popularity of this version of Optimus Prime in the history of live-action Transformers movies.
Anyhoo… back to this delightful, event-exclusive figure… remember that thrilling opening scene in the Bumblebee movie where Optimus Prime was in peak form, fending off Decepticons on his home turf? Now, you can relive that action, only this time in your living room (minus the collateral damage. Phew!).
This isn’t just any Optimus Prime. No, this is the Cybertron Mode version, a figure so detailed that you might forget he’s not actually planning a revolution from the mantle. Standing at a perfect DLX scale, this Optimus Prime comes in two flavors: the Standard Edition for the purists and the Event Exclusive Edition for those who want a little extra “wow” in their collection.
Now, what makes the Event Exclusive Edition, well, exclusive? Glad you asked. Along with all the usual Cybertronian bells and whistles, this edition includes a transparent Hologram Earth effect part that attaches to the left wrist armor. Yes, that’s right—just like in the movie. This little detail is sure to make every other Optimus Prime in your collection feel slightly inferior.
As the name implies. This Optimus Prime figure is DLX scale. It stands 11.2 inches (28.4 cm) and boasts a cool 53 points of articulation. In addition to the super cool “hologram” of planet Earth, Prime is supplied with a base with a stand, his iconic ion blaster, and 7 interchangeable hands.
If you’re lucky enough to attend certain exhibitions—say, in Shenzhen from September 15 to 17 or at Wonder Festival in Shanghai from October 2 to 3—you can be among the first to pre-order this collector’s gem. More exhibitions will be announced later, so stay vigilant.
But don’t fret if you can’t make it to one of these exclusive events. The Standard Edition will be up for pre-order soon, giving everyone a chance to bask in Optimus Prime’s Cybertronian magnificence—though without the holographic flair, of course.
In the meantime, prepare your shelves, because once Optimus lands, he’s going to need some space to lead the Autobots into battle—or just to stand there looking incredibly cool.
The Transformers: Bumblebee DLX Optimus Prime (Cybertron Mode) Event Exclusive is now available for pre-order at ACGGBA 2024 onsite for 219.99 USD.
