We have more sightings news for you, friends! It seems in addition to the Combiner Wars Legends Rodimus and Skywarp, we also have the Robots in Disguise Mega Optimus Prime arriving at retail. This one is a big guy – reflected in his retail price which approaches $30 depending on the store – and he is also compatible with the upcoming Mini-Con assortments, capable of equipping himself with 10 of them.
This sighting comes to you care of TFW2005 member Alkamist, who spotted the figure in a Target in Pleasant Hill, CA. Earlier reports indicate this figure has also been spotted in Rosemont, Illinois, too.

1. Fold cab in.
2. Swing cab completely under to the back until it pushes the arms out and tabs in place.
3. Swing the wheel panels out.

I have already reported sighting of this toy at the CT Transformers Sightings on Sunday. It's been found at a CT Target.

Found this last week in Schenectady, NY. The promo pics showed it as a 1-step, so there may be a packaging variant out there.

I love how the three steps work. Granted, they're not for me, but they are interesting like origami.

Already seen him in Canada. I'm pretty much indifferent.

Well…. Now I know what'll be clogging up shelves.

The fists rotate, so no gorilla arms. But honestly, it's poorly made, the upper body is all floppy-flexy, and in truck mode, the wheel panels are also flexy. The smaller 3-step Prime is much better.

Just watched a video. That would be sweet for when the Boy and girl play together. I can see buying that one. The arms have FULL articulation and a swivel wrist.
Give him an old DOTM long handle Prime gun and roll out.

That one actually looks cool. Its almost like it Cybertron/Galaxy prime and Armada Prime had a baby.
If the arms at least move, My son will want this. He loves the quick changers. And the prime itself looks VERY cool, If I just step back and look at the design.

Found this guy at a Target in Pleasant Hill, CA. While only a 3-step changer I have to say the colors on this guy look pretty nice.
DPCI = 087-06-0791 and comes up as $30.59 for this store.
And yes, seems like a lot for only a 3-step changer…
