Hasbro license holder Unique Industries has put up an Amazon listing for their Optimus Prime Piñata.
The character design featured with this product is the same as what we recently saw on Hauck Go-Karts, Hasbro Fidget Spinners and Phidal’s My Busy Book. We are now seeing more and more products carrying the same aesthetics.
“Hang up our Optimus Prime Transformers pinata and get ready for action! this pull-string pinata measures 25.5″ x 10.25″ and is shaped just like the leader of the Autobots, making it a sure hit with kids at your Transformers birthday party. To get the fun started, fill this Optimus Prime pinata with up to 2 pounds of candy and party favors (pinata filler not included). then, hang this pull-string pinata from the ceiling and have kids take turns pulling the hanging strings to try and find the one that releases the treats inside. Best of all, this Transformers pinata is a safe alternative to classic pinatas and won’t get broken open, so you can use it as a cool table decoration too. Get ready for your birthday mission by shopping all of our Transformers party supplies!”
The company previously produced Licensed Transformers Piñatas for Transformers: Prime, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and Transformers: Age Of Extinction.

Megatron: (gloats) Finally, a fleshbag with a functioning brain!
Starscream: Unlike yours!

I hear Megatron already locked in his pre-order.
Finally, an Optimus Prime Megatron can crush with his bare hands.

…I should make less charged comments next time. I was going for a joke initially, I swear.

Don't you remember the TLK advertising? We're supposed to

Should've been Megatron so the kids could vanquish the evil Decepticons.
Instead, we're teaching them to beat up the good guys.
Wait, never mind, society does that already, so it doesn't matter~~~

Anyone else feel the need for a bunch of TM face plates to fill one of these pinatas?

Strings? Yes I understand for safety reasons and not everyone having the space. It robs kids the fun of whacking the crap out of a cardboard character. If you were broke like my family it was a knock off of said character. The baseball bats were the same and bonus points for decent candy. A pox on their house if there were toothbrushes. Yes that did happen one time. I still feel cheated.

It is becoming ever the more clearer that these designs exist for licensed products that Hasbro doesn't want to group in any currently running line or franchise and have little to nothing to deal with Cyberverse.

Thanks Mr Worf a lot of good points I had not considered and I guess I can now get a pinata for my next birthday without having to worry about the TV. Still, once I have my house I'll be doing it old school!
Worf
Technically yes, you're supposed to hang it up and let kids swing bats at it until it bursts open.
The problem is it requires a sufficiently large space to hang it, and to have kids swing at it. If you have a backyard, great. If you're in the city in an apartment, this may not work out so well. If you're lucky, you can do it at a local park. If not, then having baseball bats flying through a small-ish apartment is not necessarily the best of ideas, so something like this lets you have fun but without the risk of destroying one's abode. Because nothing would suck worse than a bat through the TV playing TF cartoons now.
Of course, it also implies it might be somewhat reusable if you carefully put it back together.

Fuck, I saw the title and came in but all the jokes I wanted to make have been done.

I've never had a pinata but I'm reading "pull the strings to find out which one releases the candy" and I'm thinking this is wrong. Wasn't the whole point of these things to whack the crap out of it and devour the sweet candy entrails of your vanquished foe Or is that too violent for modern parents?
I may not be helping counter that argument.
Ok now I want to see some people dressed as Decepticons smashing this at a party, lol. FALL, FALL… I would have waited an eternity for this… It's candy, Prime.
Venixion
That's pretty nice looking for something that'll get busted in a manner of minutes.
: At all your guys responses!

Getting hold one of one those is the only way that the Decepticons can beat Optimus Prime

I just gotta buy one more thing before I could do this..
