What happens when you take Optimus Prime, crank up the cel-shading, and inject some video game swagger? You get the Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Class Transformers: Devastation Optimus Prime—a 4.5-inch (11.5 cm) dynamo that leaps right off your screen and into your hands. Whether you’re a gamer or just here for the nostalgia, this figure is a pixel-perfect embodiment of Optimus’s Devastation days.
In just 21 steps, Optimus transforms from truck mode to the heroic leader of the Autobots, complete with his iconic Energon Axe and Matrix of Leadership. These attach in both modes, meaning even in truck form, he’s ready for leadership… or at least rush hour traffic. His video game-inspired deco captures the cel-shaded aesthetic perfectly, making him as fun to display as he is to play with. TBH, it could have used a little more cel-shading than just the windows. Just saying…
At US$24.99, this pint-sized powerhouse rolls onto shelves starting June 1, 2025.
