It’s been a long time since we’ve seen the Generation 2 Laser Optimus Prime mold reused. Hasbro is bringing it back for the Year Of The Goat. The end result is a unique take on Optimus Prime, using a generous mix of translucent plastic.
Piqued your interest? Read on to check out the upcoming Year Of The Goat Optimus Prime. The image comes our way via the Cybergeeks Alliance Facebook page.

…Ehhh… I don't like it, the translucency is just silly looking.

Still looks to me like they couldn't have chosen worse colours if they tried, but might be good for customs, I suppose. And to each their own, of course, etc. etc.

We all know Optimus Prime is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time, that is). But to celebrate the Year of the Goat, this Platinum Edition Optimus Prime features a unique deco with translucent parts, light-up features and a trailer! Check out the gallery — the figure is coming this spring to specialty retailers.

I misread that as "in the plastic fish"

If the electronics work on this I will buy it otherwise pass.

This guy might be my favorite Transformers mold ever, so if it isn't super expensive I'll probably snag this. I feel like the colors work way better on this than on MP Soundwave for reasons I can't really articulate, but hell – I may just get them both.

YOTG is definitely some great custom fodder.

These bizarre CNY decos are becoming some of my favorite releases. I might have to go back and track down a YotS Optimus.

might consider buying this one.

I'm pretty sure you'll have plenty of them to see in the flesh. I think these are going to sit on our TRU shelves in the Nashville area for a while

Of the two (so far), this is the better of them. I like Optimus better than Soundwave.

I think my Year of the Snake would eat this Year of the Goat. Baaaaaaaa!
Ehhhh….maybe when I see it in da plastic flesh.
