Hisashi Yuki has been sharing some new in-hand images of the soon to be released in Japan Optimus EX Prime. These new images show Optimus EX Prime merged with the leaders of the Samurai and Shinobi teams, Kenzan and Gekisomaru.
The three robots combine in two different ways – Optimus EX Prime forms the core of the combination in both cases, with Kenzan and Gekisomaru swapping whether they are the upper or lower bodies. When Kenzan forms the upper body, the resulting combination is known as Daikenzan, when Gekisomaru forms the upper body with its lion headed chest, the combo is called Daigekiso. The naming scheme echoes classic Japanese robot shows where the ultimate combination would be called “Great” or something similar; Dai in this context basically means king.
Check out the images of these ultimate super robot Transformer combinations attached to this story.

Holy…. The thing is so out of proportion….
I love Prime, I love a combining Prime even more, the more combinations the merrier really. But the combined form here is either has a massively chunked out top on ridiculously spindly and malnourished legs, or just a mess…
I won't be getting this one….

Although, there's a vague resemblance in the face as well, if only because GaoGaigar has a fairly unique, semi-animalistic faceplate.

Stylish but awkward.

looks like one of those weight lifters that only work out the upper body and never the legs lol

only because of the lion head chest, something not in short supply for the brave series.

The combiner doesn't look too bad but I may change my mind if I see of picture taken from the front.

Have this already on PO…so far EX Prime is interesting.
The combined form not so much & totally not proportion at all. Prime just got lost in the mix & ends up becoming the middle torso guy in both combos.

No. No. And just plain Fuck No!

Have already got this guy on order.. But these combos look like a game of Twister that went horribly, terrifyingly wrong.. Lmao

Waiting for reviews before deciding. But so far I like it. (Tbh I'm getting this no matter what but reviews will determine how excited I will be for this thing).

I can't be the only one who sees GaoGaiGar in this, especially in the closeup picture of the torso/head?

I like the head on this, but that's about it.

So the star and icon of the entire franchise gets wedged in the middle of a largely indistinguishable technicolor mess as pretty much just a pair of arms?
Like that game where you put your arms behind your back and someone puts their arms through and becomes "your" arms, but they're blindfolded so hilarity ensues.
Party Game Prime. Who said Primes don't have a sense of humor.

These are strong contenders for "least aesthetically-appealing figures in the franchise," for me. They make Armada Sideswipe look practically tasteful.
