Two Autobots, bonded like brothers, yet divided by destiny. Optimus Prime was chosen to be the bearer of the Matrix of Leadership and the next commander of the Autobots, leaving Ultra Magnus scornful and bitter. Ultra Magnus challenged Optimus Prime for possession of the Matrix of Leadership and Autobot command. In the middle of battle, the two combined into a new form: Ultimate Energy Combiner, Omega Prime.

LAUNCHING A LEGENDARY COMBINATION
To commemorate the past 40 years of – More Than Meets the Eye – the team recognized the need for a HasLab project that fans have been dreaming of adding to their collections. The original stylings of Transformers: Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus are back for the first time since 2001, updated with improved articulation and structural stability for more dynamic figure poses.
DESIGNED BY A TRANSFORMERS ICON: HISASHI YUKI
Yuki-san designed the original Transformers: Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus toys back in 2000, and he returned to partner with us to design this HasLab project. He packed in the classic features of the original toy that fans loved, while updating the design to reflect the modern standards of Transformers action figure articulation.
THE LEADER OF THE AUTOBOTS
Optimus Prime – a legend who needs no introduction. What better way to kick off our 40th celebration than with a Cybertronian who embodies all of Transformers? In 2001, Transformers: Robots in Disguise reintroduced our heroic leader with a firetruck alt mode. This rendition of Optimus Prime refreshes this unique alt mode with deco based off the animation and includes classic features from the original toy.
Optimus Prime
· 8.5 inches tall (22 cm) in robot mode
· Converts from robot to iconic firetruck cab mode
· Comes with a blaster accessory and 2 Matrix of Leadership accessories
· Storage for the Matrix of Leadership accessories
Command Center
· Back half of the firetruck doubles as a 15-inch (38 cm) command center
· Articulated ladder
· Features 4 rotating missiles inside the ladder
· Missiles include 5mm ports for blast effects. Blast effects also fit in the top of the ladder (blast effects sold separately, subject to availability)

THE GREAT AUTOBOT WARRIOR
Though Ultra Magnus has a jealous streak, we can’t deny he is one of the greatest Autobot solders in history. And when partnered with his Battle Master, Autobot Bluebolts, his firepower is unmatched. The team incorporated all of the classic play patterns of the original toy that fans love, with some updates to the overall structure for more posing stability.
Ultra Magnus
· 11.5 inches tall (29 cm) in robot mode

TWO LEGENDS UNITE
Power-hungry and greedy, Ultra Magnus forced Optimus Prime into a combined state with himself to steal the power of the Matrix of Leadership. The result: Omega Prime was created, a powerful combiner that both Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus had equal control over. This HasLab project is the culmination of 40 years of Transformers innovation, leaning in heavily on everything fans loved about the original figure. The classic combination is still the star feature, with improved structural support and a sleek design to be able to withstand the awesome action poses of a hefty combiner.
Omega Prime
· 13.75 inches tall (35 cm) in combined mode
· Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus figures combine into Omega Prime
· Combination begins with a handshake, just like the original toys
· Vac-metal eyes and antennas
· Enhanced waist articulation for dynamic poses
· Autobot Bluebolts can be attached as a shoulder-mounted weapons system

UNLOCKABLE TIER #1: 13,000 BACKERS
23.5-inch Matrix Blade Accessory
A physical embodiment of the power of the Matrix of Leadership, the Matrix Blade is the ultimate weapon of Omega Prime. This accessory measures 23.5 inches tall (57 cm) and recreates the iconic weapon from the anime in vivid detail.
UNLOCKABLE TIER #2: 16,000 BACKERS
2 Combinable Global Space Bridge Display Stands
The Cybertronian network of roads, known as the Global Space Bridge, is the fastest way for the Autobots to travel around Earth. These Global Space Bridge display stands faithfully recreate this aspect of the animation for the Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Omega Prime figures to be posed on. Pose the figures separately on the two included 7.75-inch (20 cm) stand bases, or combine the bases into one larger 15.25-inch (39 cm) base to display the Omega Prime combiner.
Why is his neck so long?
This looks like a cheap KO compared to the originals. The only part that is interesting is the Bluebolt figure
Yes!!!!! All of the yes! Already put my order in as did 1/3 of the people needed so far within only 4 hours, 5 now.
I just want the option to get more Bluebolts. I loves me some Weaponizers.
I'm even thinking about selling my original set to fund a second set lol. I haven't looked at it in a while but last time I did I still had all the tires. They were splitting but I glued them on. Hopefully they haven't disintegrated outright. I'll keep Shotimus Prime though...oh sorry, he's...er I mean she's Yellow Splendid Convoy now isn't she? Shame that this means we'll never get them now be it Shotimus Prime, Yellow Splendid Convoy or any of the other deco options the original had. I gladly would pick up Black God Fire Convoy or the proposed OTFCC Defensor and MIdnight Shield Defensor decos of just Fire Convoy. But those will never come to pass now due to the stupid limitations placed on Haslab sets and reissues/redecos.
That's the only real downside to this set being a Haslab. No redecos. So far though, this is the only one of the four to really be affected by that. Sure Victory Saber has had a black redeco for the Robotmasters figure but that's about it other than Red Geist from Deathsaurus but that's most likely a legal grey area as to who actually owns the rights to that be it Takara or Sunrise.
