Takara-Tomy Transformers design team member Hisashi Yuki has updated his twitter feed with new images of the upcoming Transformers Go Optimus EX Prime. Optimus EX Prime is a new form of Hunter Optimus Prime appearing in the Transformers Go storyline to face the mighty Guren Dragotron. He can transform into either a bullet train or a dragon, and wields a pair of blades that can unite into a single, massive weapon. These new images show Optimus EX Prime’s box, and also his weapons attached to Hunter Optimus Prime, the Japanese Beast Hunters Voyager Optimus Prime.
Optimus EX Prime is due to be released in Japan at the end of this month. It won’t be long now before we can say “all aboard the dragon train!”

I just paid for my Ex Prime at HLJ. I won't get mine in-hand though until late February/early March since I'm waiting on MP G2 Sideswipe and Rhinox to hit before shipping.

Dammit, now I need to get both.

Kenzan as the upper torso looks really ******ed, mostly because of the arms. Gekisoumaru as the upper torso looks pretty good, especially with the lion chest.

Wow, Kenzan and Gekishoumaru combination with EX Prime's Kabuto looks sweet!

I just want one single C L E A R picture of this "dragon" mode.
That would reallly help me decide on this purchase.
If I missed one somewhere please link in my visitors wall or something, thanks!

I love trains and this armor!

That mold is all kinds of crazy. It's interesting though; I'll give him that.
And for some reason I'd love to see be painted white and purple in homage to Astrotrain, as purple and black are overused my mind on too many toys.

Im glad you two like my idea.

Hmmmm. This thing looks pretty damn odd. But i could maybe get behind it if I take the extra armor bits and leave them in the corner of the shelf. He'd look pretty decent next to other figures without all that stuff.

Agreed. If it were anything but a Prime, ….. but Primes will sell regardless of the fugly.
Micronautsdeep
Great idea. Maybe a 3rd party can pick that up?
Stepper
It sure is a wild mold but i love it

I'm not really sure that this was a ball that needed to be picked up, if this is the end result. Bleh!
Stepper
Wow,nice box without window,cool

this is BY FAR, THE ugliest OP of all time. the robot mode sucks, the train mode sucks compared to the RiD trains, and the dragon mode is a joke. I honestly don't understand all the love it's getting. Hasbro would be CRUCIFIED for putting out something so awful.

As much as I wanted a second MP 08 Grimlock I am passing on him to get the Go Optimus EX Prime,that thing looks Sweet As He**,plus I will save about $140. I wish Hasbro got stuff like this but sadly they never do.
[Wing_Saber-X]
Do want. Prime collector so duh- must buy. Cheeze and all.
j.a.f.o.
Needs more kibble.
