Looking forward to the shiny Optimus Prime Striker Asia Edition? Miss out on the darker, Dark Of The Moon Striker Optimus Prime? Whether you’ve been seething with anticipation for this figure, or just wanted to see how it turned out, HK-TF has posted the 1st in-hand images of this “new” Optimus figure and we’ve mirrored the images here!
How does Striker Optimus look with the Premium treatment? See for yourself after the jump!

@evergamer Yeah Asia Striker is a must, if I may be so bold.
Smashs
^I don't have either of them, and my other two movie primes are in their combined modes. So this one(when I have the money), will be my standalone, modified(hands/hips) movie prime.
JetwingPrime
Hands down, THE nicest Optimus
I'd be more than peeved if I already had Buster Optimus or Striker Optimus…….this one takes BOTH and combines the best of both worlds! Frankly, I believe this is why so many here can't really see themselves going after this incarnation-though it's nicer looking than Masterpiece Striker and comes with battle blades as a bonus…..gimme UFO hands and I'm good.

Is an Asia Exclusive,hence i am afraid it will not be release in the state.
Roanstalker
Wasnt the Japanese release also in english?
wildfly
That doesn't have any bearing on a US release. At. All.

I hope this prime is released in the state, the box show asia but everything is in English let hope
Stepper
Those bling on the striker prime sure is tempting me though
Transmetal
If anybody's got MP-10 the trailer is an almost perfect match with Leader Prime besides the color.
LegendAntihero
I guess he's using the HFTD Optimus' voice clip then.

@opt1musaber & Sentinel: ^^ this. I now own SIX versions of the mould. I have no regrets purchasing all of them.
1. Original ROTF
2. ROTF Family Mart Clear vers. 'Prize A'
3. Amazon Japan DVD Black repaint
4. Dotm Striker Prime
5. Nightwatch/ Nemesis Jetwing Optimus
6. Buster Prime w face-plate / Jertfire premium two pack.
Dude! that sucks.. hope you get a replacement!
harrismonkey
Makes sense. Thanks.
Japan's Striker says that too (I wondered because in many ways this reminds me more of Buster). I'm pretty sure it was confirmed way back when that it was Peter.
Stepper
Maybe passing this Striker Prime because it is too expensive.
Transmetal
He says we must stop the decepticons, sounds like Pete to me if not it's really close. Thought for some reason his eyes would be blue but he has the same green eye/red chest thing going.
LegendAntihero
I don't see Asia paying Peter Cullen to do more voice clips so I bet he just says I am Optimus Prime.
harrismonkey
Anybody know what he says?
I haven't bothered to put a battery in and I probably won't. Just mild curiosity.
LegendAntihero
I know what you mean because mine had part of that switch which makes Optimus talk chipped off.
harrismonkey
I've got more than I have any good reason to own. Probably should have passed on this one (I think I may like Japanese Striker a bit better), but I loved the idea of him matching Buster. In fact I may put them together on display.
I've got both versions of Striker, Buster and the Jetfire/Buster Combo pack. I've also got a wonderful custom mod of Jetwing that blows all of them out of the water.
Of course the first ROTF Prime is floating around in pieces (I've been using him for paint tests- he's a joke compared to what followed). I may get a second DMK Prime and replace the abs with the ROTF truck front off leader Prime. It really bugs me that my nicest Primes (Custom and DMK) are both based off DMK when I like the original design at least as much.
I am definitely pleased with this figure.
opt1musaber
Damn…
I own many too, I can understand why
Raiju
Damn that sucks. Hope the retailer can do something about it. Maybe Optimus lost a foot in the war against Megatron? XD
