Robot Kingdom announced on their Facebook page that Striker Optimus Prime will be reissued as an 'Asia Premium Series' version - APS-01. Difference with the previous DA-28 is this new version will have chrome parts, brighter colours and the battle blades are included.
Robot Kingdom has also opened this for pre-order on their website here. The price is a little high, and since I already have DA-28 I won't be pre-ordering. Let's see when (if?) this reach local shops, if the price is lower, then I might consider getting.
Among the Transformers Prime Autobots, the only character I haven't bought a toy for is... Optimus Prime! I guess I knew there will definitely be more versions and repaints released in the future, and was waiting for one that will really wow me.
When I had the opportunity to buy the Weaponizer version at "cheaper than retail even after 20% discount" price, I jumped at the chance to finally own a TF Prime... erm, Prime!
Continuing from my review of Fall of Cybertron Optimus Prime, I compare this latest Cybertronian Optimus with the previous two from War for Cybertron (Generations/United series) and The War Within (Titanium series).
After having reviewed Fall of Cybertron Jazz and Shockwave, here's the final figure of the first wave: Autobot leader Optimus Prime!
I'm generally not a fan of the Bayformer Primes; didn't get the Buster, Jetwing or Butterfly Ultimate versions. Somehow I'm attracted to the Vehicle Battle Mode of this Prime. And when
I saw it while on holiday in Tokyo (at cheaper-than-retail price!) I decided to get it.
