Following the Transformers Legacy United G1 Optimus Prime concept design notes, we have the official product information and stock images in their final colors.

Die-cast metal aside, I have to compare the United release to the upgraded / updated Missing Link Convoy. The scale is reduced, but the look and functionality appear to be handed down to the Hasbro standard deluxe scale figure. Where they diverge is in the design of the upper leg attachment that is done with hip joints instead of the cumbersome double-hinge on the Missing Link. It is great they included both guns and axe in 5mm versions that stow on the trailer.
Worth noting is the variation of painted and clear side window parts on the stock images. Hopefully, they are painted. That said, something tells me this is actually a smaller version of something bigger and better, with a trailer, that we may see in the Studio Series 86 subline, or an exclusive somewhere.

So small!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both are a pass for me. It's too bad most folks in our community have such low bar expectations from Hasbro that we seem to keep lowering the standards. Anyone else concerned about the size of this United Optimus? It seems these deluxe figures are slowly down sizing to a legacy scale. I saw the TF One Optimus the other day at the store and was shocked that Hasbro has the audacity to charge $25 for such a tiny figure. From what I have seen thus far I'm guessing this United figure is just as small. With that, this one is a pass for me. You are better off saving your bucks and investing in the studio 86 figure....assuming you can find it.

I agree! I would love to see a Nemesis Prime repaint eventually too!

Holdup... Is that a movable skirt piece? This thing might actually be a solid (affordable) alternative to Missing Link!
I would love to see similar takes on G1 figures like this. Essentially modernized G1 figures. It would have been figure of the year if they opted to add some chrome for the pipes, grill, and wheels. Imagine a G1 Sunstreaker remake? That would be amazing!!!!
Interesting although doesn't this defeat the purpose of Missing Link G1 Optimus? Also, given Hasbro's history of milking every mold, should we wait for a Studio 86 Leader Class release with the trailer?
Ah yes, the poor man's Missing Link.
