Toyworld has announced a new figure, TW-02, which is said to be the same height as their upcoming Hegemon. Judging by the silhouette, it looks like this is going to be Toyworld’s take on Don Figueroa’s Optimus Prime design for the IDW comics.
Stay tuned for more.

Now that would be awesome, especially if they could pull off a Triple Changer aspect, where he changes into a Gun and a Tank!! – G1 & G2 UNITE!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I'll admit that I would buy that like no other.

I have been patiently waiting for this ( not as long as I have been waiting for Presser LOL). If they don't hurry up, Hasbro may beat them to the punch and if Hasbro's version is the same height as Hegemon, then I will probably get it. Will Cost less for sure.

Screw Optimus. They need to do the one Megatron that has NEVER been done. I've wanted this guy since I first saw the artwork back in the late 90's. It would sell like no Megatron has sold before.

Well their time wasting has cost my interest in this. I'm switching to MPs only, so they've lost a sale. Would've bought it last month no problem too.

I hope Toyworld does not back down on their Optimus because hasbro is doing one too. I am sure the hasbro version will be a hollowed out piece of shit

I wonder will he be in scale with Hegemon, which is arguably the most G1 accurate version of Megs.
Star Saber
If the rumors are true though, Hasbro might come out with their own version of IDW's Optimus Prime, which is probably why we haven't heard updates regarding this figure in a while.

I'm subscribing to this thread. I want an Optimus to go with Hegemon.
Come on Toyworld!

I'm guessing this guy is still pretty far away from preorders and whatnot. Toyworld still has three figures that they've showed more complete designs for. (Throttlebots Grind Rod and Aurora + Headmaster Hardhead)
Personally I'm much more excited about those three than I am about another Optimus.

I would like to look at it, that they are working on it…and unless other 3rd Parties…when they show the final product, it will be ready that next week….

I cannae believe we still haven't seen or heard an update on this beast.

Someone please get some pic's in color!! I need picture's robot and truck mode!

I'm chomping at the bit about info as well. Seeing how this figure turns out will be the deciding factor on my getting Hegemon.

So anything new with this? Cost? release date??

Here's some wishful thinking….For me, Classics Opti would have been enough if Classics Optimus were to have the bumper and grill parts intergrate into the transformation within the boday rather than a simple rotating it to the back to hide. It would probably solve it's height issue (body would be bigger and taller) and get rid of the side panels from the arms..though I still welcome any new figures and revisions from any 3rd party.

If this thing looks good, being based off the IDW design, and is taller than Classics Optimus but still somewhat shorter than Mega – er I mean Hegemon – I maaaaaaaaaaaay pull the trigger. But this thing is gone have to be immaculate to replace Henkei Optimus.

I sold my henkei prime, which I never liked too much for the reasons you pointed out, when Igear oppened orders for Simplified Faith Leader, however now I am glad about it and the cancellation of such release, Faith Leader has ugly truck mode on top of it all… well only truck mode I really like for Optimus is MP10, and still it is too big for my taste
