Coming to us via PrimeVsPrime on Youtube, we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Beast-Mode Optimus Prime.
Similar to the Beast-Mode Bumblebee that was revealed a few months ago, Beast-Mode Optimus Prime is a big 25-cm tall robot which can transform from to off-road truck mode in 22 steps, and features light and sounds. It’s quite a big toy with a simple transformation and fun gimmicks for kids. While big and poseable, he hasn’t got a very solid alt mode, but we have to remember that this toy focus on playability. We also have comparison images with other Rise Of The Beasts toys.
Check all the images after the jump, as well as PrimevsPrime review and an official BigW Australia commercial, and then you can sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards.

Chest burster got to Optimus.

I love how unapologetically cheesily "what it is" this Prime is. It reminds me of the original G2 Prime. With its massive "OPTIMUS" on the trailer, and voice box that said, "I AM OPTIMUS PRIME!" (in a voice other than Cullen's, sadly, sounded more like Zordon ) as if we didn't know.
This figure similarly is called Beast Mode Optimus Prime, and his chest opens revealing a freaking LION. And Peter Cullen talks as it flashes. I mean that's just all out gimmick embracement and I love it.

Soundwave and Blaster: Are we a joke to you?
JLvatron
Yup. The aesthetic makes it look too basic, like smaller than a deluxe. is it actually a leader class?
TeeHee-ous!
Oh, thank the Matrix!
ckhtiger
Woof, that Alt mode rear view.
Vector Oracle
You and me both. It looks like Animated Optimus Prime’s truck mode by way of Mad Max, and that mashup very much appeals to me.
kaotika
why do they always pick someone with that tone
also how is that a "beast" mode?

Everyone wants that to happen.
It would be the best Mind Blowing Live Movie Event ever
seen on Screen if Optimus gets an Lion Mode at the End of Movie.
But sadly, it is rumored to be a "Toy only" thing.

I keep wondering if ROTB will involve the Autobots getting actual beast modes? Like is this a mid-scan sort of form, like the Protoform toys from the 07 movie?
Very excited to see what happens in regards to this.
Pteraxadon
Geez he's huge

Eesh, what an eyesore.

I still need a voyager of this alt mode asap, Hasbro.
Will look into getting this though.
And people can't call it "stolen" since he has the box.

Oh so the gimmick is that you crush Optimus testicles and Lio Convoy does a chestburster
