The Age of Extinction Evasion Mode Optimus Prime is quickly becoming one of the most reused molds of recent history, with this latest version of the toy being exclusive to Hong Kong’s Milk Magazine. According to the Facebook page that hosts the images though, it’s not for sale, and is just a custom paint job created for Milk Magazine. There’s still a possibility though that it might be made available as a prize in a contest down the line. For now, check out these images.

I would consider this an instant win if they included a broken "Got Milk?" sign…..

Awww.. should have guessed. Nice work tho, that's a damaged Prime I would like to own.
He does look like he crashed thru a Purity milk truck!

I love the weathered grit that the Milk Magazine Evasion OPtimus has.
I don't believe I have ever seen or heard of that Grimlock before?

I hope we can

Yeah – so can we actually buy this anywhere?

Is this for sale anywhere

If there was a version with milks robot mode and the Tru alt mode it'd be the best representation of Prime.

If you get seriously pissed off by toys, then you are in the wrong hobby.
Wait….you don't think they are going to stop using this mold….do you??? When did classics Voyager OP come out? 2006? And we just got a repaint of it in 2014 (Botcon Ginrai). Be prapared for repaints of this mold for the next 8 years or so. I can't say it bothers me either….it may be one of the best molds in recent years.

This piece is definitely much better looking than the TRU Japan exclusive white one.

this…. This…. THIS!
Deluxe Lockdown & Voyager Galvatron is outmatched by LC Prime on toy displays.

SDCC is still coming, we might see a Voyager Western Star with a more refined robot mode.
On the Leader Class Evasion OP, I'd be down, it's a good design, well executed, and really is the star of the line right now. Making it bigger and making adjustments to make it more screen accurate would be great.

This goes to show that this mold of movie prime beats the hell out of the Leader Class backpack version that Hasbro is shoving in our throats. Yeah this altmode of movie prime is temporary in the film's story but the toy design is great. Simple but effective.
I'm still having thoughts that AoE LC Prime's backpack can be remedied if the transformation process have added 3 more steps. Where did Hasbro R&D personnel got the data saying going beyond 20 steps will annoy kids from 8 to 12 y/o hence going for simplified transformation?
I'll not wonder if by next year Has-Tak will suddenly release Leader Class Evasion Mode Prime with additional steps from current 18 steps from it's Voyager Class version.
Right now, i'm wishing for Has-Tak to release a Voyager Class of Prime's 2nd Truck mode. So that it can go head-to-head with Voyager Galvatron. Maybe at that scale they can finally remove the back-pack syndrome and be able to produce a definitive AoE Prime toy for retail. If the evasion mode mold turned out to be this good, why not a voyager western star truck too?
What do you think guys?

I really like this. I think it might be my favorite of the Evasion Optimus Primes. A nice blend between both versions.

He looks like he's been stood out in the snow. Or is it powdered milk?

Speak for yourself brother. We didn't all want or expect a movie with all the G1 characters with their original G1 alt modes and colours.
This specific mould is printed money for hasbro and takara. The movie is BARELY out and this guy has like 5 repaints.
