25th Anniversary Optimus Prime to be released
May 22nd, 2008For those of you who missed out on the Transformers Commemorative Series I Optimus Prime that came out back in 2002, you’ve got another chance to own the original toy this year. If you check out Transformers Toy News Reviews, you can see pictures of the upcoming 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime. It appears that he comes with a DVD–I’m guessing it’s probably the first "More Than Meets The Eye" mini-series. Let me know if any of you find out what it is for sure.
There are other pics of upcoming Transformers in the album that I’ve linked to, in case you’re interested.

What precisely is the big Autobot symbol for?

Looks like it has some sound capabilities. I’m guessing it plays the original TF theme, or maybe has a few choice expressions from Optimus, like “Transform and roll out” or something like that. The 25th Anniversary Joe 5-packs came with a thing like that.
All I know is it’s a chance to own an original Prime, and that’s enough for me.

I think I had one of those truck, growing up. We lost the trailer a long time ago, but we still have the truck itself, somewhere. MY brothers and I thought it was the coolest toy we had, despite the fact that we didn’t know what Transformers were.

I so want this! I have the 25th anniversary Optimus Prime and the original version has always been something of a toy Holy Grail for me. Thanks for the heads up, Jerzy!

I’m looking foreward to buying Transformers 25th Anniversairy Optimus Prime complete with the G1 reissue, Comic book and Auotbot Shield which stands on the desk and clips onto belt. OPTIMUS PRIME LIVES ON AND ON AND ON!
