Via their Twitter account, third party company Iron Factory has shown off images of their painted prototype of their Legends-scaled take on Stormbringer Optimus Prime who comes with a trailer that doubles as Apex Armor to form Powermaster Optimus Prime/Godbomber! In addition to a set of optional armor, this little leader also has a suitable arsenal at his disposal, including a very G1-inspired Ion Blaster.
No pre-orders have been listed yet, but be sure to check out the pics after the jump and join the discussion to share your excitement!

In-stock at Robotoybase for $150 new (w Alleria).
I bit. Don't know if I should feel dumb for paying double MSRP, or lucky for getting him under eBay prices.
Had to be done though. Tyrant is closing in and my legends bots need a leader…
*edit. aaaannnnd gone. Isn't collecting legends supposed to be cheaper?

that is good to hear. but like i said i dont mine is still nice and minty.

Yep, mine is perfect too. Super solid in all forms and joints. Wonderful set!

Pocket Toys improved on the durability of IF Bruticus. My IF Blast-Off was covered in stress marks after one transformation. Not a single stress mark anywhere on my Pocket Toys one.
lilcarus
i doubt it will happen like that.
also, they really didn't improve the mold for bruticus. his joints arent as tight as the orginal so he is a little looser. but they made him a little future safe with the added elbows and knees.
but my IF bot is still in fantastic shape i never had any issues. neither has the one that has been on display since it came out. i think the issues were isolated to a few guys. it was an all across the board thing like tarn.

Sadly Starscream is unlikely as they already did a full set of the DX9 Seekers. Could be wrong though
Shinobi Rendar
With Pocket Toys doing the IF Bruticus and some say improving on the molds, I am hopeful we'll get a KO version of this guy, Starscream and the Datsuns!
Nemesis Otaku
Really looking forward to the upcoming Nemesis Prime. Not only will it be my first Nemesis (Ironic, eh?), but it also is set to release in May, my birth month!

One on eBay with 6 days left, already at 130$. Holy God this needs a reissue. AND I NEED ONE

Not a bad idea, but I think I'll probably just swap places with Jetfire and have him suspended above the others.
lilcarus
hang him from the top in flight mode all bad ass. or better yet wrap him up in wire or twine and display him all derpy dotm style.
Mr H
lilcarus
bad ass congrats…now you need to get the cyberverse trailer to finish out the set.

Picked up the cyberverse Optimus for $10 and single botbots for $1 each. Probably an error but I’ll take it.
The trailer is awesome for legend scale, thanks for the suggestions here. Now to find this IF Ultimate Commander at a price that won’t break the bank or pray for an MFT KO.

It's funny… the Optimus in this Cyberverse set (also available for purchase on its own…) is kinda garbage.
But this trailer is pretty cool and I can't stress how *perfectly* it fits over IF Ultimate Commander's feet…. I think someone at Hasbro is a fan of Iron Factory and made this guy for him.
The trailer is quite solid. The spring loaded guns work really well. The transformation into base mode is simple yet effective, giving a few places for other legends figures to stand without obstructing the main storage area for bots in alt mode. The inside of the trailer also has several 5mm holes which let you store IF UC's main gun quite well
I haven't tried yet, but I bet you could fit his various god-bomber armor pieces in the trailer for storage, instead of other legends bots. Though they'd have to be in pieces, not as one unified chunk (unless I'm wrong? again, haven't tried yet…)

im glad i could help with a little bit of info

OMG, so I just stopped in another Walmart and saw two on the shelves. They were behind a price tag that said $18… Well, better than Amazon's price, so I got on my phone, cancelled my order, and went to check out.
It rang up as $7!!! So that's pretty cool…
lilcarus
my local walmart has them on clearance now like 40 of them. but it was late and i couldn't find out the price on them. but i am guessing maybe 15 bucks since all the other cyberverse stuff is half off.
