This afternoon Hasbro revealed several upcoming products for 2022 including a new Optimus Prime figure! "Smash Changer" Optimus Prime transforms in eleven steps, with a "smashing motion" activating each step.
After its previous tease of a new Premium Finish reveal, Takara Tomy Mall has posted its official listing for the fifth figure in the Premium Finish line. This time out it is a redeco of Studio Series "Revenge of the Fallen" Optimus Prime! This figure will feature a more screen accurate deco and will include Optimus Prime's blasters and sword blades. The figure is priced at 6,380 Yen (about $55 USD). It currently has a release date of July 30, 2022.
The Official Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter feed has been updated with preview images of upcoming releases. Most are figures that fans have seen or already have on hand such as Blaster and Eject. The one brand new reveal is Premium Finish Optimus Prime based on the Studio Series figure. This will likely be the Voyager Class sculpt featuring the character as he appeared in the 2007 film.
