Toys R Us Canada also revealed a second Platinum Edition Chinese New Year Transformer. The second Year of the Horse Transformer is a Year of the Horse Optimus Prime. The page on Toys R Us Canada was here, but has since started redirecting to the site’s index. However, 2005 Boards member mapatel got a copy of the product description, which reads as follows:
The leader of the Autobots is back and more unstoppable than ever! Everyone will know that this mighty Year of the Horse Optimus Prime figure is the ultimate Autobot, because the Matrix of Leadership fits in his chest. He’ll shred his Decepticon enemies with his Energon axe in robot mode, and flatten them in truck mode! Convert his trailer to a battle station with a maintenance dock, where you can store his ion cannon and Energon axe. Your Transformers adventures will be off the hook with this Optimus Prime figure!What this suggests about this Optimus Prime is that:
- He has a Matrix that fits in his chest.
- He has the Energon Axe and an Ion Cannon
- He comes with a trailer which turns into a battle station and maintenance dock, and the trailer can also store the weapons.
With these facts in mind, there are very few existing Optimus Prime toys that fit this bill – leaving by process of elimination the most likely potential candidate for this release as a special Chinese New Year edition Masterpiece Optimus Prime 2.0.
As before no pictures are available, so this is speculation on our part, however once more news becomes available we shall share it with you here.

I don't have pictures but I have details. I just talked to a small toy dealer overseas. He said that yoth prime will come with all accessories as mp10 packaging is similar to original and that the clear trailer has yots symbol but with a horse and that he has them in hand but cannot ship yet or send pics due to contract with hasbro and that hasbro told him they weren't due to release til February

I'm going thru the same thing with warbotron. The figure is badass but they still haven't colored it. Watch I'm going to end up with a fu@king pink bruticus! I emailed tfsource again about yoth mp10. Hopefully I'll get a response later today

So soon. I'm starting to think we may not get an actual picture before shipping starts.

Wish Tfsource would go ahead and put this up already. Hoping shipping will be a little cheaper than RK.

Any updates on yoth prime preorder info?

Waiting for a Leader Class Cybertron Optimus Prime reissue….
LegendAntihero
That series was Cybertron
BenjaminXavier
It was just the one, but that was the first year. And we've already figured out that the other one for next year is the GIANT starscream re-issue from whatever series that was. People thought it was the MP at first, but turns out it wasn't.
LegendAntihero
I'm sorry to hear it's not going to be Armada Optimus. It's been a while since that toy was released.

Does anyone remember if there were other TFs released under the "Year of the Dragon" line other than Butterfly Prime? Since YOTS Prime was complemented by YOTS Omega Supreme, both from Energon, perhaps a YOTH MP-10 would be released with another YOTH MP as well?

Not sure about this talk of a clear trailer.
LegendAntihero
I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of the 30th anniversary line. The first MP was the 25th anniversary Optimus Prime

You can get Takara MP 10 everywhere, no rush in getting it. There will probably be lots of reissue down the road…. like what they did with the MP01. Wait for the Year of the Horse edition comes out first, then decide whether you still want the MP 10 or not. Lots of people display their Optimus in Robot mode, so the trailer isn't necessary for everyone. I wouldn't display the trailer like my MP04 personally. Let's hope they don't do anything silly with the robot….

I thought there was some new info. got my hopes up for nothing.
Dark Skull

Was there QC issues with the original Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime? Debating on waiting for this "Year of the Horse" edition or just drop $300 on the recently re-released version
