Coming to us via @lamleygroup on Instagram and YouTube we can share for you our first in-hand images of the recently revealed Mattel Creations Hot Wheels Transformers Optimus Prime.
This is an official sample sent by Mattel for review and we have a clear look a this unique transformable die-cast Hot Wheels Optimus Prime as well as his impressive packaging which is designed as a reversible box for you to display him in robot or alt mode.
It will be up for pre-order on May 21, 2024 9am PT for $80.00 exclusively via Mattel Creations website. See the new images after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

It’s times like this I wish the Bumblebee in the first Buzzworthy 4-pack was the gold G2 version instead of Slightly Different Hubcap. I’m happy that we got Goldbug in Creatures Collide, but how great would it be if we had G2 Bumblebee as well? At least this way we’ll kind of have one (still waiting for a Generations G2 Bumblebee, Hasbro – don’t mind me).

Sold out again, but at least he was available initially for around 24 hours (if not a bit longer), giving people ample time to try to order one. It's not often something this sought after stays up for that long.

He sold out but now he's back up again.

Very happy to see the gold Bumblebee pop up again, that's the one I really want!
Because Goldbug is way cooler than Bumblebee, always.

Prime is still available to order on Target.com. Got my order in yesterday, so as soon as it arrives I can cancel my pre-order on EE.

I remember when they were $.99 not including tax

Late, but nope. Hot Wheels RLC stuff are a one and done thing. There have been SOME reruns of some popular RLC cars but those are extremely rare and generally don't include fantasy castings like the Optimus.

Basic Hot Wheels range from about $1.18 to about $1.29 plus tax depending on where you buy them at.

Only $1!?
Gah, ok. I definitely paid a lazy tax for buying online
Corpsie
I think it is normal hot wheels price. Around $1

Out of curiosity, how much is the Goldbug or Bumblebee retail?
I know Optimus is like $5.50

Is the transforming prime going to get a restock

You CAN find Bumblebee. Found him twice now. L Case has 2 of them in the case so the chance is higher, even if by a little bit.

Plastic

Are those tires plastic or rubber?

Want Speedbreaker / RID Side Burn! But meh if people can\'t even find Bumblebee then I\'m not going to bother getting too excited.
Soundwinder
Yeah, this. This borderline doesn't count as news since it's functionally not real.

All I need is Hot Rod.
C\'mon Mattel do it!
