Thanks to of 2005 Boards member Rookbartley for giving us the heads up of the new Transformers: Mega Mighties Rescue Bots Optimus Prime listed On Amazon.
This new Optimus Prime figure is a cute super-deformed, non-transforming action figures with limited articulation, similar to the Titan Heroes/Guardians toyline. Optimus Prime is the third figure on the Transformers Mega Mighties line, together with Bumblebee and Hot Shot which were released previously.
We first learned about the Mega Mighties line via a new trademark and we saw our first images via a Toys”R”Us Malaysia catalog in 2018.
You can order the new Mega Mighties Optimus Prime via Amazon for $11.99. See all the mirrored images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
j.a.f.o.
Of course: at least this was interactive with electronic sounds and buttons.
Apples to oranges, my friend.

Edit:
Heatwave was there too(posted in his thread), so they probably come together as wave 2…

Is it wrong that I think he looks hilarious?
Evan Wellens
They ruined Heatwave\'s design.

This could be Wave 2 together with Mega Mighties Optimus Prime.

When "posable figure" is a feature on the box.

I really miss the old Rescue Bot\'s design for the guy. He looked really cool, and cute at the same time. Rescue Bot\'s academy toys for the new design look okay, but the way he looks in the show is awful. It\'s easily the worst design for Optimus imo, next to Energons.

I dunno, I would've loved this as a kid. Big, chunky, easy to play with, still looks like Optimus. I was a pretty forgiving kid when it came to Action Masters or whatever, but this would've been right up my alley once I got sick of trying to transform and move around an actual Optimus.
Venixion
I didn't.
But still, at you and your zombie biter cousin.

When I was little, I had a cousin who was a zombie-like biter. She didn't stop until I clobbered her with a rather large military transport plane one day. Kids throw hefty toys around; it's just a question of whether you're on offense or defense.
Venixion
Well, we know what you and your sibs were like. XD

I Hope for a complete series dvd set of Rescue Bots.
