3P Mech Planet has shared several new images of their Hot Soldiers Legends Size HS-02 Optimus Prime Prototype.
The images surfaced via Mech Toys Facebook and Weibo. This little figure proves to be really nice sculpted in a classic G1 style. It includes a Matrix (that you can put inside the chest), Optimus iconic blaster and energy axe, Roller (tiny), and a proper trailer compatible with previous Mech Toys figures like HS-09 Big Yellow Bee (Bumblebee) and HS-07 Iron Tin (Ironhide). Comparison pics with other figures of this line in robot mode are included but no images of the alt mode yet. There is no information on price or release date yet, but be sure to come back to our forums when it’s available.
You can check out the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off at the 2005 Boards!
Rewind
Glad to see it’s still getting new fans! I have all of the legends sized Primes and this one and DX9 Dutch (& the oversized version) are still my favorites. I feel like they strike the perfect balance between looks and simplicity of design. More intricate designs like MS and NA look great but I find no joy in their transformations. This guy and Dutch are just straight up fun to grab and quickly convert.

I actually went ahead and swiped up the Nemesis Prime version on BBTS after seeing this post! $34 for Nemesis is a very hard price to argue with in general, but especially when it's a US-based shop.
Also, I do find it funny that one of the first attempts at a Legends Optimus Prime is the only one that's actually included the command consoles in the trailer. They're basically useless at this scale, but it helps the trailer feel a bit less barren in "base" mode.

I know I'm really late to the party. But I just recently got this figure from BBTS since they had him on sale recently for $42 plus $4 shipping. Amd I have to say, I really enjoy him so far. His articulation is a little limited compared to some versions, but he looks great and is fun to transform and mess with.
I actually enjoy him more than the New Age and Magic Square versions. And he looks great with other Hot Soldiers figures and with Jinbao Megatron. Still trying to decide if I prefer him or Jinbao Optimus.

By the way, did someone get his Optimus Prime HS, 12.5 cm? Because I know it measures 12 cm, right?
ManelFigures
Well, probably they will OSKO the next Optimus from NewAge, I think this will happen at the end of the next year.

Already I'll have my Hot Soldiers Optimus Prime, so I can't wait because that will come to me, but by the way When will Optimus Prime jinbao 2.0 come out?
ManelFigures
I recommend you to wait for an Optimus 2.0 Jinbao. The mold of HS02 is too old.
Not anymore, sorry!. Sold it year ago. HS02 had some weird sculpt that I never liked. Actually I prefer Optimus Jinbao.

¡Ay, no tengo a Jinbao Megatron, lo siento!
Hola, [USER = 128116] @ManelFigures [/ USER], ¿tienes Hot Soldiers Optimus para ir con tu Jinbao Megatron para una foto? [/ QUOTE]
I'll buy to jinbao megatron, but only i have Mech Fans Blaster, already I'll have my Hot Soldiers Optimus Prime, so I can show you the photos, but I have one doubt, Hot Soldiers Optimus prime and Jinbao Megatron have almost the same tall? I don't know.

Alas I do not have Jinbao Megatron, sorry!
Hey @ManelFigures do you have Hot Soldiers Optimus to go with your Jinbao Megatron for a photo?

Aquí tienes amigo. Tomado de mi colección personal. HS Optimus es solo un poquito más alto que MFT Blaster. Creo que encajan muy bien juntos.

Thanks for answer me, but one thing more please man, do you have photos of Jinbao Megatron and Hot Soldiers Optimus prime? Please
OCProwl
Here you go friend. Taken from my personal collection. HS Optimus is just a smidge taller than MFT Blaster. I think they fit very well together.

Because I need know the scale, will be good for me, thanks

Someone can show me more photos of Hot Soldiers Optimus prime and Blaster mech Fans? Please

If anyone happens to have a loose HS-02B Nemesis that they'd be willing to part with, please let me know.
I'm really just after the figure and maybe his gun. Not really interested in the trailer or the other little addins.

I actually like his size against the Newage Carbots and MST OP. Also, nylon plastic makes my fingers purr. It's my favorite plastic, considering all pros and cons.
lilcarus
MS blaster is smaller than he should be. unfortunately he suffers from first bots syndrome. i think a newer updated version might drop after their soundwave hits.
for now the MFT bot fills the void.

Yeah likely going to grab one of the other primes to go with the smaller figures I have so far
itMFtis
Thats because you're comparing a smaller legends size class with a figure from the larger legends scale. Stick to one scale or the other and the results will be less disappointing.
DDS22
This is hard.
