Word reaches us from our sister site Cybertron.CA that the Year of the Snake Optimus Prime has been sighted at Canadian retail. Year of the Snake Optimus Prime, a part of the exclusive Platinum Series of premium redecos, is a redeco of Energon Optimus Prime – the first one to be released to retail after the original release of this toy in December 2003 nearly 10 years ago! He was sighted at Toys R Us in Red Deer, Alberta by Cybertron.CA member Sludge2007.

Am hoping that if Omega shows up, the price will not be more than $130.

Saw this was on super discount at BBTS for black Friday, a mere $49.99.
I really like this toy, and never got the Energon Optimus Prime mold before, but I didn't know where to put this in my collection. Then I decided. For my collection YOTS Optimus will be head of my Power Core Combiner Autobots!

I don't think anything was patronizing. I think it's clear from this thread the Bruticus upgrade kit isn't well known. Though whether it's well known or not or people knew what you'd be talking about is irrelevant at the point I entered into the conversation. And I think it's clear from your convoluted directions that that tip wasn't known to you, so I let you know so you might be able to save some hassle in the future.

Hope he shows up at US retail…

Sweet. If it goes on sale i would totally get one (since i never got the Energon figure).
Hoenstly I never understood why everyone hates him. His supermode looks really sharp.

well, from the looks of it, most people don't. I check these forums 5 to 6 times a day and I haven't noticed it. maybe it was posted the one day I took off the internet. anyway, hasbro made an awesome upgrade kit for this, (energon wing saber) but I have no interest either way, other than curious as to what this 3rd party add-on looks like, but I'm not going digging for it.

I would appreciate it if you would not patronize me. The bruticus upgrade kit is well known and I assumed most people would know what I was talking about

Look up at the top right of your post(or any post). See a little pound sign followed by a number? Click on that and you can copy the URL and directly link to a post.
Then you can post that and everyone can click right on it instead of everyone who's curious about the upgrade kit searching "near the end" of the "bruticus upgrade kit thread".
Star Saber
Really? Why?

I remember seeing the Energon version. My mum bought it for my brother when he was younger. I saw it and was like wtf is that…Back then my interest in TF's wasn't what it is now, but it still doesn't take away at what a POS it is.

Year of the snake Omega Supreme.

If only Wing Saber was also released. Especially since he's so damn hard to find nowadays.

That is one highly polished turd. Someone went to great lengths to get thei money out of the fatimus prime mold. Bless their hearts.

Sweet digibash dezaras6! And if a certain someone added the link to a certain custom add-on for this.. well, it would be handy.

I'm a bit annoyed this was never announced if Omega Supreme is also going to hit retail. I already bought it online for rape shipping.

seriously, whose upgrade kit? im actually a fan of the mold. I always thought the limbs would have 100 percent works if they all were colored in more "prime like" colors. i tried to repaint it, and drew it up in the color scheme i wanted. It has way too many parts that rub together to paint it though, at least at my skill level. But I would be very interested in any upgrade kits for it? any links?
