TRANSFORMERS Authentics Optimus Prime

Product Information

TRANSFORMERS AUTHENTICS: Transformers Authentics figures are inspired by popular characters from the Transformers universe. At a 4.5-inch scale, these figures are the perfect way to start your Transformers collection at a great value Then we have stuff like this and other evergreen figures, where the whole idea of the toy is to get it to be a cool size, and to be playable at an attractive price for the target market, which has its own design concessions that have to be made. Optimus Prime is the legendary leader of the Autobots known for his wisdom, courage, and strength on the battlefield. He fights to protect the freedom of all beings in the universe, ensuring his friends and allies are safe from evil Decepticons.

This version of Arcee, part of the Kreon Class of 1984, uses a darker magenta base color, and has much more extensively-detailed tampographs than her Micro-Changer version, including a nose! She still uses the Ironhide style helmet. Transformers Authentics figures bring the exciting conversion play you expect from a Transformers figure. Like Windblade, the artwork of Arcee also generated minor controversy, mainly due to how the two shades of pink parts on her torso-to-waist are decoed to look like a very tiny bikini. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. To be honest it might be a better use of their time doing something with the Legion/EZ class moulds that is a bit more interesting.Also, concerning other things, I’m not saying there aren’t some bad hollow spaces on modern figure. Siege Ironhide is a bad offender on that. But with modern price point restraints, you’d get a smaller figure if those hollow spaces were reduced. If you want all solid pieces, you have to go with more expensive price points than some adult fans are comfortable with. Look at how many people complain about how Rodimus and Override are “overpriced”. The pair were available in both full color and metallic "pewter" versions, with one of each in every case. In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of the set came with the body of the line's collectible Metroplex "build-a-figure", with that assembly coming in either full-color or clear-plastic at an equal 4-to-4 ratio. Transformers Authentics figures bring the exciting conversion play you can come to expect from a Transformers figure. Transformers Authentics figures are a great way to start any Transformers collection. you want the solidity that G1 through Unicron trilogy toys had? Okay. Then we also get decreased articulation and painfully simplistic transformations. They go hand in hand when you have to price for traditional retail.

As part of the second wave of Kre-O Micro-Changers, Kreon Arcee can be rebuilt into a sports car. She uses the Ironhide style helmet. Produced by Flame Toys, this Arcee is a new addition to the Furai Model line of plastic model kits. Using parts made of hard ABS plastic and some polycaps, She features a unique stylized design that consists of a human-like female body designed by Ban (ばん!). Accessories: Springer's weapons (dual missile launcher, two missiles, rotor blades/sword), Arcee's weapons (2 swords, large gun, small gun), Kup's "laser musket" rifle/exhaust pipe, Ultra Magnus' 2 guns, Blurr's weapons (Sniper rifle, left & right pistols), Minimus Ambus figure Would Hasbro designers love to make big, solid figures with great articulation and cool transformations? Absolutely, every transformer designer wants to do that. Hasbro and Takara both want to do that. But it’s not financially possible in this day and age. People also pretend that it’s a problem unique to Hasbro, even though we can look at things like the Transformers Go combiners and see that those things, despite being Japan-only, are actually more full of hollow spaces and awkward engineering and designs than anything Hasbro had on the market for main line at the time.

The only other lines you'd see were those cheap no-name figures at Family Dollar and the like. So, Hasbro decided to go after that market, too.

In 2016, the Collection 2 Micro-Changers were re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released Kre-O sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Arcee's paint operations have also been slightly altered (much less so than most others in the collection), mostly just replacing her white paint with a very light pink. The plastic is not cheaper. Hollow spaces are not new. It’s more obvious than it was now because the hollow spaces are actually part of the transformations now, allowing figures to compress and fold in on themselves in ways they couldn’t in the past. It’s a result of evolving engineering techniques.Transformers Authentics figures are inspired by popular characters from the Transformers universe.

Thrilling 30 Arcee is the holy grail that, after 28 years, many thought would never happen. Unlike most Generations toys at the time, Arcee does not have an updated design or one based on the IDW comics, but instead hews to her original animated character model, transforming into a made-up "futuristic" pink and white sports car—this was done at the behest of designer Hironori Kobayashi, who based the toy on an older custom of his which won first price at BotCon Japan 1998 and which later helped land him a job at Takara. The final design was sketched out by Kiss Players artist Yuki Ohshima, who added the unsettlingly human-like hips and navel.
