TFC Toys has shared images of their S.T. Commander (Rolling Thunder Optimus) test shot via Weibo.
This incarnation of Optimus Prime is based on a G.I Joe Transformers concept art by Don Figueroa. This incarnation brings us Optimus Prime in a powerful and heavily armed G.I Joe Rolling Thunder alt mode. The robot mode is as tall as MP-10 Optimus Prime, and you can use most of the alt’s mode weapons with him. Not satisfied yet? You can also transform Optimus into a powerful battle station, compatible with Titan Masters.
This is sure a Prime ready to battle, and we are sure many fans would be happy to see Don Figueroa’s design finally into an awesome figure. No price or release date yet, but while you wait for this information, you can click on the bar to see the mirrored gallery and let us know your impressions at the 2005 Boards!

Thanks – you are right! I just checked it. This toy is fantastic. There is so much to do with it – I just got a diaclone mech suit too.

if it’s the part I’m thinking of, I believe that’s to mount the gun on the forearm in one of the robot modes? I’ll have to double check it when I get home, I’ll see if I can take a photo

I wish they'd sell the chambers separately; I've become kind of obsessed with them.

A quick question about STC-01T – what is the removable clip on top of the cab-forming gun for?
Most owner pics have it connected to the top of the gun and in others is completely gone. TFC youtube instructions don’t have it at all. Thanks

Surprised about that. Ive heard that showz does pretty good on getting replacement parts. Though TFC would have to give them the replacement parts first. So Im not sure how TFCs track record is with that.

Super funny considering ShowZ and TFC won't fix the problem.

today i learned what those thigh plates do!
(and not to leave them in the dia-boxes for months on end, they'll get their paint scuffed)

Just put a sticker that says L on it. It will work fine… trust me.

They are Left and Right parts. You need one with an R and one with an L.
I need a left if anyone has one?

Thanks for the info!

I used Mr color metallic blue green. It matches pretty well and you can make it match better than I did depending on how it’s applied. The way the factory does it is they lay down a silver base coat and a very light blue/green coat on top. I mixed a little bit of silver in to the blue/green to lighten up and applied it over a silver base coat. I went a little heavy on the blue/green but I was air brushing outside and it was a bit windy so I didn’t have as much control as I do when I’m airbrushing with my spray booth. But we’ve got a new baby in the house and I don’t want to air brush indoors. It would be a lot harder to get the same or better results with hand brushing though because you don’t actually have much control over how light your layers of paint can be.

Looks really great. What paint did you use for the teal / blue-green for the head? And how well does it match?
