Optimus Prime is back, and this time he’s rolling out with a movie-accurate flair and… a bit of a bulky backside. The Transformers Studio Series Leader Class Transformers: Age of Extinction Optimus Prime is here to deliver cinematic nostalgia at 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) tall, with all the heroic grandeur you’d expect—if you only look at him head-on.
This Prime boasts 44 steps of conversion magic, morphing from robot mode to a Western Star 4900EX truck. Armed with a sword, shield, and a swappable head, Optimus is ready for battle, photo ops, or just glaring at Decepticons menacingly. But while the front screams “leader of the Autobots,” the back quietly mumbles, “I couldn’t leave my cab at home.” Hey, even heroes carry some baggage, right?
For US$54.99, Optimus ships out May 1, 2025. Just remember: when you display him, keep the front facing forward. Let’s keep his secrets safe.
