Entertainment Earth have added a listing for a new Transformers Rescue Bots Academy release. Keeping up with the line’s trend of annual Optimus Prime releases for the line, this time we are getting a large boxed Optimus Prime with a new “launching trailer” – a trailer which can be used to make the Rescue Bots “roll out”, and also looks to be the most impractical trailer Optimus has hauled since Transformers Energon. The main Optimus Prime figure appears to be a slight retool of the previous Rescan Optimus Prime who has also included with the Racing Trailer set.
Entertainment Earth reports that this figure will be released in January 2019. Check out the images attached to this post.

I don't care how dumb it is for practicality, this is so bought. My twins love Rescue bots.
I have the large Optimus from last year and they love it.

Yeah, after posting, I compared both and they're indeed identical. That news is all kinds of wrong. lol

Yep, looking at mine, it's just the tiny Flip Racer Optimus…. but it looks identical to all of the photos in the news posting, in terms of molding and colors.

Probably best for Optimus not to tow that thing when there are strong cross winds .
It actually looks like it should be full of pigs and sheep .

What exactly is this an academy, of?

I think the base figure is identical. They only added the trailer.

What did they retool on the Optimus Prime figure? I can't see the difference other than that horrible trailer behind him.

Looks like a Flip Racer retool, not Rescan.

One good gust of wind and that mess is going over. See ya bye bye!

I'm in agreement with Sol Fury on this thing.That's one of the most impractical-looking trailers I've ever seen,and I've long since come to accept Energon Prime's doorstop wedge of a trailer. It looks like he's hauling an entire dollhouse in vehicle mode.What's next,Optimus hauling an entire filing cabinet in truck form?

I feel like Prime may be compensating for something…

Next year's Rescue Bots line has a "launching" trailer coming with an Optimus Prime, which seems to be a repack / redeco of one of the recent carded release.
