Optimus Prime

I've got a really grand collection of Optimus Prime & Primal figures. I'm going to comment on some of them.

A Prime Collection update - July 9, 2008 6:49 PM

It's been a while since I updated my Prime collection on Flickr; it's been since before Botcon, in fact. I've added eight to the collection since then, starting with: Music Label Convoy, G1 Colored Version I picked this one up...

Armada/Micron Legend Supercon Optimus Prime - March 25, 2008 9:43 AM

Transformers: Armada, for the most part, sucked. It was an interesting experiment; the Mini-cons were a neat idea, and I'm glad they've been carried over into subsequent lines. But all of the fiction, cartoons and comics, made me wince...

Star Convoy was one of the rarer Japanese pieces, until Takara released a reissue of it in 2005. It's one of the few larger-scale toys released in Takara's Battlestars: The Return of Convoy line, as the majority of the figures...

THS 02 - Hybrid Style Convoy - May 14, 2006 9:32 PM

Tiny is the best word to describe this Optimus. The figure stands just over four inches tall, meaning it barely comes up to the original Optimus' waist, and is just a hair taller than the PVC figures. Of course,...
