Care of Griffin-of-Oz from Ozformers, we have some new in-hand images of the upcoming SDCC 2017 exclusive Primitive Skateboarding Optimus Prime. This handsome black redeco of Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime has some nice golden accents on his deco and is adorned with the Primitive Skateboarding logo.
What we wanted to focus on with these new images, though, are the new skateboarding themed accessories that come with this release. The ramps and rails can be configured in a number of different ways, to make half pipes and quarter pipes, and can attached to the truck and base mode in different ways – in the case of the base mode, the rails add something to make it stand out from the original release. Most of all, though, is the way the ramps and rails can be combined into a single, giant weapon for the robot mode – the skating ramps and rails transform into a full-on railgun.
There are also some comparison images with past black Optimus Prime redecos, such as the Nucleon Quest Super Convoy. Also, check out the various Cybertron-themed skate tricks listed on the back of the instructions, including the Null-Ray-Ray, the Shinscream, the Ollie-Ollie Maximus, the Rockabye Prime, and the Hasta La Maximo.
Check out all of the images attached to this post.

Great review. Was wondering if you'd answer a quick question. Just bought one of these seemingly new and don't want to go rifling through it to find out: where did they hide the instruction manual for this?
Atomatron
thankfully my seller was/is a scammer and i got my money back. US seller "shipped" with arrival in September! wtf. i called BS and they caved

So the ramps have pegs and the rail is long enough for those pegs to go into his base mode, making his base mode a skate park. He officially has the best base mode of the TR line. View attachment 27772161

Its more than just the chest piece. Takara's arms have a peg hole, and the hands slide out, Hasbro's don't. And the feet are completely different.

The piece isn't removed on the Takara version, it's entirely remolded, so just taking it off wouldn't really work. Besides, the arms and legs still couldn't connect.
Atomatron
cant i just remove that chest piece thing?
Atomatron
ugh fml i had no idea thought it was just a nicer paint app etc from Takara

It seems like he Atomatron would care, since he seems to be buying God Bomber with the intention of combining the two figures. (Also, it seems odd to say that I'm "full of it," then say "who cares?" as if you acknowledge that my statement was true?)

There's the American version which is used for the toy offcially called "Powermaster Optimus Prime". That one was redecoced as the black SDCC one. Takara retooled it as "Super Ginrai" and it can combine with Godbomber. Hasbro released Super Ginrai in a box set using the name "Magnus Prime". Only rhe Japanese mold works with Godbomber.

God bomber combines with takaras super Ginrai version of the mold, it's different. The primitive skateboarding powermaster Optimus is a repaint of hasbros powermaster Optimus prime which is not compatible with godbomber due to having different feet, arms and chest
GAUGE
you know…that you full of it right? and also, who cares?
Atomatron
theres only one version of this mold?
SoundwaveSuperior
You know that this isn't the version of the mold that can combine with God Bomber, right?
Atomatron
