We’ve got another two Transformers Prime toy galleries to share with you tonight, by way of 2005 Photo Staff member SydneyY and 2005 Head Honcho Tony_Bacala. Here for your enjoyment tonight are galleries of the Takara-Tomy First Edition Optimus Prime and Bulkhead toys – a pair of toys with nice sharp decos, distinct from their Hasbro counterparts and no less appealing as toys! Click on the links below to check out the galleries – and stop by again soon, we’ve got lots more good stuff in store for you!

Japan version of FE Optimus Prime & Bulkhead sure has upper hand compare to the Hasbro version

Wish I had the takara Prime… got the Hasbro one a little while ago, still nice though. As an owner of Takara Bulk, I can say, pictures do him little justice, he's so shiny and dark green in real life.
Prime's altmode's only flaw is the 'cramped' windows, I'd say. Sure the vehiclde modes aren't made to scale with one another, but it's hard to believe a human of any size could 'drive' in that small space, while all the other FEs have a wider, bulkier windshield space.
D= Now I just need a FE Vehicon for completion!

Agreed. Relatively speaking, the Powerizer Prime isn't too bad compared to the FE, but I feel that the FE has better proportions in alt mode.

Yeah the feet on my Takara FE bulkhead (u jelly?) are starting to chip a little too… But he's way to fun to transform and play with so I say fuck the police! If he wears a little, he wears… not a huge deal in my book.

great pics! too bad I didn't buy the Takaratomy versions of those two.
Welp, at least I managed to snag the Hasbro ones..

Sounds like that's just bad luck of the draw.
I've transformed my Takara Prime numerous times, and there's no paint chipping.
And it probably wouldn't be any different for the Hasbro version, either, since they're painted the same way. But my Hasbro Prime hasn't experienced that issue, either.
Unless it was just a bad paint mix, or something.

I like Optimus' gun.

Powerizer Prime's truck mode has cartoony proportions. And his legs in robot mode are weird and full of gaps.
mx-01 archon
The only way it's better is that it has side-view mirrors. Otherwise, it's proportions are all wrong.
Optimus' truck mode is supposed to be exaggerated, with a huge engine block and proportionately tiny cab, making it look more powerful. Powerizer Prime's truck mode is more "realistic", with winder windows and a shorter nose, but as a result, winds up looking inaccurate and deformed, if you're going by the source material.

As much as I hate the Powerizer stuff, I've actually come to think that the Powerizer mold is the better Optimus mold -if it were in the correct colors.
The truck mode of the Powerizer Optimus is certainly better.
Now that Bulkhead just looks amazing.

Salt in the f**king wounds…
