Also via Transformers Colombia, we have a look at the Toys R Us exclusive Age of Extinction Evolutions Optimus Prime set. The Evolutions sets pair the modern Age of Extinction toys with toys representing the classic forms of the characters they are paired with, and this Evolutions Optimus Prime set is the crown jewel of the series, pairing the Age of Extinction Evasion Optimus Prime with a redeco of Classics Voyager Optimus Prime.
Both toys have new decos for this set – Evasion Optimus Prime now sports more silver in his molded plastic parts and has flames painted on the sides of the cab in place of the regular retail version’s silver stripes. Classics Optimus Prime is done to resemble the Generation 1 deco of the toy, with G1 styled tampos on the knees, chromed upper legs and a chromed bumper, with the chrome matching where the original 1984 Optimus Prime had chrome. This set is coming soon as a Toys R Us exclusive, be sure to check it out.

Probably when all those Grimlock 2 packs sell out and make room on the shelf.
Maybe in 2016.

Does anyone have any idea on when this is going start showing up in Stores?

I think he's referring to the alt mode. I have the takara version and the only flames are on his shoulders.

I want to attend the Hasbro Transformers panel but I hate how they have it right after the 24 panel
EMP Starscream

NemiMonkey
They might release more info at SDCC so a little bit more waiting.
LegendAntihero

I was actually wondering if jru or someone has got a SKN or "R"web# yet.
gabumon
Anyone seen this in the wild yet?

I wish this had been released already to pick up on the BOGO50% sale. Classics Optimus Prime is a large part of the reason I returned to collecting Transformers. Despite the age and any flaws of the toy, it really was a stand out of the time and fares favorably today. I strongly considered obtaining the Cloud version as I think the black accents look neat. The chrome on this really hits a nostalgia factor and I've recently came to appreciate chrome as fun.

Okay, thanks for answering the question.
That Classics Prime looks so good, I have wanted to get my hands on that mold but never been able to afford the original release.
