Daily Prime – First Look at 86 Optimus Prime Studio Series Commander Class?

The MP44 has a similar backpack, but they covered it up. If this is based on the MP44, they went the less expensive route with a bulkier design. Which might be a good thing, because I’m not a fan of all the flimsy parts you have to fold up to convert it. Even if it only has minimal stuff.

That makes sense. I understand that you don’t want a lot of breakable parts on a Transformer, but I kind of liked the sleek design of the Earthrise Optimus Prime.

The backpack is pretty big for the Commander class. The Leader class didn’t even have a backpack… But! I won’t give any official thoughts until the full images are released.

Yep, looks like they chopped off the MP-44’s legs and head with the Earthrise OP’s torso.

Right. I would like to see something more official than that.

The box art is simply an illustration of one of the Transformers TCG cards.

Studio Series 86 Commander Class Optimus Prime?

Of course!

If we were still going with Kingdom Ultra Magnus, Earthrise Optimus Prime would be fine. For Rodimus, you could still go back to PotP Rodimus and just use Hot Rod as a Rodimus that “fits” Earthrise Optimus and Kingdom Magnus. Or just use SS86 Hot Rod.

Now we have SS86 Magnus, however, and that changes things. Earthrise Optimus looks like garbage next to SS86 Magnus and Kingdom Rodimus. I’m pretty sure there’s more going on in Rodimus’ two arms than in Optimus’ entire body. The comparison isn’t even close to accurate.
