Dr Wu DW-E04 Prime Commander (G1 Optimus Prime) Color Prototype & Variants

WST Junkie

As another member and I previously stated, you can purchase Roller separately in a basic blue, grey, white, or gold color, but you CANNOT purchase the axe separately… Roller came in white/gold to match these figures:

The blue and grey Roller was for G1 Prime, although the grey Roller could be used for other versions (e.g. Sleep Mode Prime, Nemesis Prime)…

The custom colored axe ONLY came packaged with later iterations of Optimus Prime along with a custom colored Roller…

The new versions of Prime that come packaged with the Ultra Magnus armor also came with custom colored Axes:

EDIT: I forgot to address the "trailer drone" that you were referring to. Roller is actually the drone. What you're referencing is actually called the Combat Deck/Repair Bay, and Dr. Wu's version of Optimus Prime never came with the "combat" portion of the Combat Deck, but he did keep some remnants of the Repair Bay features. He in fact gave those two little arms so that you could simulate the actions of the original repair bay…

Ah, thank you for all the info. And thanks to others who also answered

No, I just recently got the Optimus secondhand, but it's the version that only comes with the gun, trailer, and two robot arms in the trailer. I was wondering about getting roller, the axe, and the drone thing that sits at the front of the trailer when opened

Blue and grey rollers are available separately, sold loose in a small bag.
Orange axe is packed in with either Ultra Magnus versions.
There is no battle turret/trailer drone/repair station for this mold.

How does one go about getting all the extra little stuff for this guy, like Roller and the trailer drone, axe, etc?

The only way is to buy the newer version that contains all of those extra accessories… The older versions only came with Prime and his trailer, while the newer versions contain Roller along with the axe. Although you can in fact purchase Roller separately in a basic blue or grey color, they aren't as nice as the custom Roller that comes with the newer versions of Prime.

EDIT: Or are you referring specifically to Toxitron???

unless you get extremely lucky, i think you might have a real hard time as they were supposed to be limited to 500 and it appears to have sold out every where.

Oh well, I guess that's how the Matrix crumbles.

Any idea where we can order an E-04 toy version from these days and actually receive one? My last attempt got me another toon version, albeit including the matching roller and axe.

And some comparison pics with the original tiny OP

I came here for these comparison shots; I wish it were a little easier to tell which version a given seller has listed on ebay.

I also wonder how long it will take to get an animation deco version of the trailer since I am sure this isn't the last red-and-blue Optimus variant they'll be releasing.

Got mine today… freaking love it.

The one thing I wish Dr. Wu could have done is rotating hands/wrist as that's just about the only articulation missing, which is crazy for something this small to outdo mainline figures.
