Amazon Japan has posted the official images of Transformers Go! G26 EX Optimus Prime! The figure itself is pretty unique. It’s a triple changer, it’s both a dragon AND a bullet train!
Other than those modes, the figure is capable to combine with G01 Kenzan and G05 Gekisomaru figures, which you can check out both of them after the jump.
You can pre-order it now, but it is estimated to arrive on January 25th, 2014.

I liked his Alternity toy, too. He fits in better with the other Autobots as a car.

Actually his Alternity mode as a GTR Skyline is a fantastic alt mode but this train/dragon mode sure make Optimus Prime more impressive as a character in the TF GO.
LegendAntihero
Yeah, Optimus shouldn't always be a truck. It's boring if he was. I would prefer it if he was a flying fire truck instead of a train. His window boobs remind me of Cybertron Optimus
Stepper
Giving takaratomy a thumbs up simply because this time round is not a truck & the alternate mode look fascinating

Pretty much all of the above. despite my reservation of the combined form, i'm really looking forward to getting this toy.
REMINATOR
Pretty much all the above. The entire line is just horrible, easily pass.

I love the TF:Go! combiners and I am very much looking forward to this Optimus.
BUT the combination with Kenzan will not work, those spindly legs… he'll topple down as soon as you look at him. Optimus+Gekisomaru seem to carry even more bulk load than Jinbu+Ganoh and that combination already is very unstable.

I liked the idea of this toy but seeing the official images I think I'm glad that I'm not spending money on this.
LegendAntihero
I may buy this just because I like Optimus Prime toys. The Go! line hasn't done anything I find impressive so far.

Doesn't look bad. Love the head sculpt.

Wow! I'm seeing a lot of hate for this. I think it looks pretty good, aside from the Dragon mode, it looks like Takara said "Alright! We've got a bullet train Convoy!" then some other guy said "But it HAS to be a cripple changer!" then they panicked and were like "Uuuuuh…make it a dragon!" His combined mode? Eh, I wish Optimus made the legs. I think his legs are way too thin for how bulky his upper body is.
j.a.f.o.

The more I see the more I want this.

Can't stand this line. Waaaaaay too Power-Rangery for me.

I LOVE seeing transformers like this! Transformers that I have no intrest in what-so-ever that is, saving me some money!
The train mode looks ok, that is about it though in my opinion.

Transformers have succeeded for three decades now because of the unique fusion of American design philosophy and Japanese engineering principles. It's these two complementary disciplines that give Transformers their distinctive look, and it doesn't work without input from both Hasbro and TakaraTomy.
Without someone in Japan to say "no, that sucks," we end up with robot Wookies, Thor jets, and "Titanium" Transformers.
Without someone Stateside to say "no, that sucks," we end up with Kenzan, Gekisoumaru, and… this.

They have like huge bodies and tiny stick legs….huh…..funny just like some real body builders.

Nope.

I have liked his line so far, but this seems like a bunch of junk with Optimus Prime's face put on it.
The split window chest is completely forced and almost completely hidden.
LOL!

Someone has lost their mind at Takara.
