Via Weibo user 2017ct we have our first look at the color prototype of the Iron Warrior IW-07 Leader (Transformers Prime Optimus Prime).
Third party company Iron Warrior is bringing a new non-transforming action figure of Transformers Prime Optimus Prime. Leaving behind their IW-05 Pioneer, now they have changed to a bigger scale with a 29-cm tall action figure. It features the die-cast parts, LED lights for the eyes, and a plethora of accessories which includes a pair of arm blades, a pair of arm blaster, 2 Star Saber swords (silver and blue) and a swappable head. According to the information on the Weibo post, it should be released in May. It seems that this will be released as a fully-assembled action figure instead of a model kit as it was reported when we saw the first gray prototype images.
See all the new images attached to this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Iacon store has him for $125.11 USD. I know they're not based in/meant for US markets, so they're usually $20 or so dollars more than what showz or tfsafari would have em for, so that's something. I also saw someone say $112 earlier, but I didn't see any source for that

The question is, if you are going to have to display under a UV light for the eyes, is the rest of the paint/plastic UV resistant? If not, UV light will cause it to discolor.
Snaku
No. It reacts to UV. Like a black light.

So it's glow in the dark/reflextive?

brought to real life… it\'s impressive that they made it identical to the animation I wonder how articulate
Zoo
Well in comparison I think red will be significantly cheaper lol

Damn the R.E.D Prime Optimus was already bad but this makes that figure looks like a cheap knock-off

Except this one is the perfect size for him

Spending (probably) 200+ on a figure just so you can give one if it's 6 accessories to another figure is next level baller

I mean his sword in the show was a pretty generic sword, could probably just buy one separately rather than buy a whole figure for it.
prfctcellrulz
Hm?
Zoo
Bro???

I really don’t care about the figure, I just want the Star Saber with the blue blade for my Cybertron Optimus
Snaku
Back then we called him Robustimus

I don't know what you call the upgraded Prime after he was resurrected, but I would really like to see an accurate show version of him. He never really got a First Edition level quality toy in the main lines.
Zoo
Sorry. From a distance and scale wise I mean
