Courtesy of Hasbro designer Mark “Markclonus” Maher, via his Instagram account, we have good quality and clear in-hand images of the new Target Optimus Prime & Autobot Bullseye .
This is a redeco of the Laser Prime cab and Earthrise Prime trailer in Target-themed colors, along with a reuse of the Siege Ravage cassette mold as Bullseye. Mark sure had fun with this pictures, showing Optimus having fun with Bullseye as his lovely pet. Pre-orders for this figure are still up via Target website.
See the mirrored images after the break as well as Mark’s comments on these new capsule collection figures. Share your thoughts on the 2005 Boards!
🎯 Target Optimus and Cadet Bullseye are ready to deliver some delightful decor for your special Transformers collection room. Pack it, seal it, ship it! 🚢 💨 Transform and roll on out to deliver goodies to all of you loyal and passionate fans!

Shoutout to my man Ted over at Target who was a pleasure to work with on this item. I’m a loyal target shopper and this pack really spoke to me when the opportunity arose to work on it.
.
I was pushing for Bullseye to be in the pack, as I mentioned on the stream, I’ve always felt Optimus was the kind of guy who would love a small dog. I know from my own experiences, having my poodle Bandit changed my life in a positive way. This dude Optimus has been fighting for peace in a never ending war for 40 years, I meannnn, can the guy just relax and throw the ol matrix around wit the 🐶 pup!
.
The vector graphics for the trailer tampography were quite a challenge. I did my best to line up clean spots on the trailer and follow branding guidelines. Extremely satisfied with the result as to how clean it came out in production. The laser prime mold in these colors just really hits, the truck mode dictated alot of how he was decorated. The Bullseye postage mailer was somthing Target had just redesigned and wanted to place on there as a graphic, it was a bit tough on placement but it def reads well in hand!
.
How much is that doggy in the trailer (transforming noise) the one with the target for an eye! 😂🙃

I’m just happy we have a Prime with red eyes again.
Probably won’t happen, but it gives me a small hope for Powerlinx Prime.

Those trailer wheels are backwards, interesting. Wonder if that was done on purpose.

"Target Universe" just awakened knowledge that among the infinite possibilities of infinite universes that Target and other stores own a Frieza-styled monopoly. Interesting.
I kinda like the trailer deco better for this mockup and still wished he had the sword but everything is for the better imo

To be fair, you never know when you might need to cut your former employees loose.

Wouldn't "evil Nemesis Prime" be redundant?
IGEBM
Is the axe for severance packages?

Looks like it went back up for pre-order, so I just snagged mine! Go and grab one now if you can (and you want it). Hopefully Target actually ships it to me
T-Hybrid
That's just for slashing prices.
Murasame
Too late, I already got him a sword from Venksta.
T-Hybrid
They're soda cans. More like a travel cooler. The whole idea is he's not a fighter.
IGEBM
They launch soda cans now, I think
(not joking, I’m pretty sure they said that on a stream or slthn
Terror of space
Let\'s be honest, bullseye is never getting transformed…
Mister D
I like it but still think they should have done the Volvo mold. I get they don't want a Target delivery truck with an ion blaster or matrix sword, but he still has freaking missile launchers for shoulders!
Megatronwp38
Looks good. Maybe I'll see one on the shelf some day. Definitely not a priority release with all that is coming out.

hes from the japanese legends comics where he was an evil nemesis prime, collected all the peeling stickers from the transformers toyline and removed them from the franchise, and then died because the official stickers were so bad, then got resurrected as a prime
