Transformers Earthrise Listing Found For Alternate Universe Optimus Prime

We may have seen all that we're going to see for Transformers out of Toy Fair already, but new information somehow just keeps on coming this weekend! Amazon UK has once again given up a product listing in advance of any official reveal, for something called Alternate Universe Optimus Prime. The Amazon UK price seems to be somewhat non-standard, but pulling some information from Amazon US shows that this item sits precisely at the Leader price point.

Alternate Universe Optimus Prime's product page is not active on the US Amazon site, and the UK site mistakenly has a photo of a package of Nerf darts attached to it. But we can determine from the available information that this mysterious Optimus Prime has a ship date of July 1. July 1 was previously the date Amazon had associated with Earthrise wave 2 items found before the official reveals during Toy Fair this weekend. Since the listings went live, all of those toys have been pushed back to September or later.

For now we can only loosely speculate on what this toy might be. A very straightforward answer might be a Shattered Glass-style redeco of Earthrise Optimus. That would conceptually fit with the Alternate Universe description, and it would be something unique for Hasbro to do with an Optimus toy at general retail, versus making a Nemesis version, for instance.

While it is possible that it might be a unique mold or heavy retool in order to represent some different incarnation of Optimus Prime, it seems unlikely for that to be the case with no mention of it having been made during Toy Fair, especially if it really will be released along the currently indicated schedule. We'll have to wait and watch with this one.

I'm going with some sort of repaint. Could maybe go with the Netflix repaints? Maybe tie in with Ultra Magnus somehow. He did have spoilers inside on the package.
