If you haven’t found your preferred Optimus Prime at this point, you haven’t been looking hard enough. Big, small, 3rd party, transforming, non-transforming, G1, Beast Wars, Bay movie. But that didn’t stop Kaiyodo from trying out an Amazing Yamaguchi version. And that’s not a bad thing.
It’s not exactly G1 but it certainly evokes that aesthetic while putting the Yamaguchi spin on it. This is Optimus, through and through. But it’s an Optimus that can do some things that your other Primes can’t do. Move like crazy!
Okay, it’s can’t transform, so there is that. If your a stickler for that, and it’s right there in the name so I can’t blame ya, you may want to skip this one. But if you need an Optimus that can double fist his rifle or swing for the fences, this was made for you.
Oh, and it has his energy ax too.
Plus some extra hands…
Height isn’t going to make him stand out in your display, clocking at 155mm, or a little over 6 inches. That’s just barely shorter than your Hasbro Siege Prime. Hmm.
Amazing Yamaguchi Optimus Prime is up for pre-order now for $60 and releases in September. Now, where’s that Megatron…
