He's not that big in the show. Honestly puttimg Optimus in the first wave already spoiled that he'd return, and theynway he returned basically gave him yet another body change. Bee is still the bigger focus as a character but there 's still a sense of "let's sell more Optimus Prime toys" with the show.

 

Thanks for the follow-ups.
more changes than I thought.... which I like ^^/
Leaning towards TAV-33...
Big Prime collector even if I don't follow all the series that he is in.

 

Maybe, if not for the fact that FunPub can't use him anymore.

 

What do you mean?

 

hummmmmmmm................................................................................................................................................................................
looks cool ^^

 

Around about 2010 when Heatwave came out, Hasbro started on the Aligned Continuity project which resulted in an overarching mythos, used for the backstory of Transformers Prime.

In order to better control this mythos, Hasbro asked Fun Publications to not use Nexus Prime.

However, that was the previous creative team of Aaron Archer and Rik Alvarez. The current team may not see things the same way. And with Combiner Wars, they could in theory quite easily do a new Nexus Prime.


In any event, I think at some point we're going to see a Star Convoy version of this Optimus Prime. Full on reshell and release it under Legends.

 

Now that would be awesome.  

 

YES he IS that big. He's at least twice the height of any bot in the show. So he's basically anime accurate. I mean this is Takara were talking about doing their own figure so they will make it close as accurate ad possible

 

That Star Convoy would have proportionally accurate shins compared to the original!

 

He means the time spent on the character in the show. Not the physical size.

 

If this guy was leader class sized I'd definitely get it. Its been so long since we've gotten a leader class Optimus Prime that Isn't based off the movies.
