TFW Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive United Black Optimus Prime Gallery

It's time for another TFW site gallery update! This past weekend in Japan was the Tokyo Toy Show 2012, which had two exclusive Transformers toys - one of which was a black version of Classics Optimus Prime. Based on an unreleased Wonderfest design that was originally conceived for the Henkei line, United Black Optimus Prime depicts the heroic Optimus Prime taking up a Decepticon persona to infiltrate the enemy, but he might have gone too far an unleashed his repressed dark side in the process:

A new Decepticon ground troop had falsely claimed themselves to be Autobots and were causing havoc in many parts of Earth. To stop the disturbances, Optimus Prime used the enemy's tactic himself and planned to infiltrate the Decepticons camp. He repainted his body in jet-black and applied Decepticon insignia on his shoulders to make himself "Black Optimus Prime". He destroyed everything in his path as if his suppressed inner desires were unleashed. What actually happened to him...?

Check out the full gallery of this new version of Optimus Prime to see plenty of pictures of both robot and alternate mode, along with comparisons with the 2008 San Diego Comic Con exclusive Nemesis Prime, another convention exclusive "evil Optimus Prime" from this same mold. Give a big thanks to SydneyY for the gallery!

I already got SDCC 2008 Nemesis Prime, but I would mind getting this to. Absolutely gorgeous! Looks more like Scourge.
Kaijumaster
Man that is PRETTY! and I'm a guy who's not a Fan of Black Primes OR The Classics mold!
Omegax80
Looks awesome, but it's too expensive for me right now.
deliciouspeter
Beautiful! Great photos.
gothsaurus
Ahhh yes. I'm going to put that next to TFCC Sideburn and Botcon Skybyte. Now what to do for the other two car brothers. Hmmm.

RiD Prowl you could potentially custom a Universe Red Alert - go for his "super" colours so he looks distinct though. Reason being, RiD Prowl was originally named Mach Alert in Japan, which makes him a Red Alert variant in the same way that God Magnus was Ultra Magnus. The body could be made about 80% accurate, you might want a new head though, or even a transplant of the RiD head onto the Red Alert body.

X-Brawn, again you might want to look at a head swap, but Universe Ironhide's body is closest. Might want to try using a Ratchet and going for the super colours again so the base toy is more or less the right deco.

Silly, unbelievable backstory.

I can't tell for sure, but is the grill chromed?

The red windows make all the difference

The TF concept and storyline was all pretty realistic up till that point, though...

I agree the red windows look great, as do the Con symbols on the shoulders. Just not sure it's a $100 upgrade.

I would love to put this next to my Wintercon Black WFC Optimus.

OMG excellent picture! dat light-piping!

in.cog.nito
I'm the quintessential classics prime mold-whore. i have been waiting for this bastard for so long it's not funny and the more I see it the more I want it. Come forth!
Seeker
Even though I already have the mold this looks great! Storywise I would have preferred it if he was some type of clone instead of OP painting himself and then telling the cons that he is Optimus.
BlueAngel_Bolt
That settles it. This will be my Classics Nemesis Prime.
My SDCC one will just be Shadow Commander.

he's incognito Prime, conflicted by his dual role as an Autobot interceptor, and he killed / destroyed everything and anyone in his path. that's badass...
Automorpher
I like him...

But not enough as compared to WonderFest Black Convoy.

And this bugger's gonna stay "imprisoned" in his box, serve him right for being a Destron!
Rated X
Looks like the KOLD Black Konvoy but with con symbols.

Of course it does, KOLD Black Convoy is a bootleg the original unreleased version of this from a few years ago

I think that guy is a troll, so I wouldn't waste my breath explaining facts and figures to him.
Red Snarl
Just got notification from TFSource that he arived.
Quicky
Can anybody that has this comment on mold degradation...if any. I already have this Prime on the way but I really haven't seen anybody comment on how the mold is holding up.
Stepper
Simply love this United Black Optimus Prime,awesome.
Transmetal
I still don't understand why we can't get a Motormaster out of this mold. It could be done.
Stepper
It is because Motormaster is not Optimus Prime,maybe they are afraid Motormaster won't sell.
PrimusVsUnicron
If I get this guy I'm calling Black Convoy

If Makers decide to name him "Motormaster", they'd better do up a new head sculpt & not just slap another coat of paint onto that Prime figure.

How'd you get his number?
jacranky
This is the version I've been waiting for! Held out on the SDCC Nemesis Prime because the red windows and 'con symbols make all the difference!
Optimist_Prime
I don't if I can wait until TFcon to get this guy. The more I see photos of him the more my gut is yelling "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU DUMB PIECE OF S***!".

Yes that is a quote from my gut.
Jarodimus
WOW. Beautiful pics, SydneyY!

Can't wait 'til mine gets here.

Ah. Clearly, Movie Optimus has infiltrated the Classicsverse.

Your gut's a right bastard. My internal organs only rarely call me names. (Well, except my liver. That guy's always complaining.)

Classics Prime always looked pretty pissed off to me.

I know, depending on the angle, he looks very angry.

Well that's what I was thinking a retool head for sure maybe a couple other touches.

re: Motormaster and the like...I think I'm done buying combiner dudes that don't combine. I think I'll just wait for somebody to do them right...

If that is the case,TakTomy might as well issue the rest of the Stunticons bots since there is Wildrider which already exist,that will be cool.

Hmmmm,

I am one of the fortunate souls to own the winterfest original prototype this figure was based upon. There are some differences that are of interest to note.

- Teal - On the prototype, the teal is much more subdued and not as bright. This allows for the black and reds to really stand out
- Grill and bumper - The prototype's are black, but since it was a testshot, it may have been planned to be chromed in the final product
- Insignia's - The prototype has Autobot logo's instead on decepticon on the shoulders.

I will try to get pictures to compare the two later on

Lucky you!

Just curious though, are there multiple versions? I thought I heard the test version had chrome grills.
Automorpher
^ Think mine has Black grills too...

*Scrambling to check/verify*

Yes, it's Black alright.

Wha? How come there're so many people who have that prototype Henkei Black Convoy?

*so jealous*
