The Primitive Skateboarding Optimus Prime Figure is painted in a black and gold color scheme and is a redeco from the Powermaster Optimus Prime Titans Return figure. Optimus Prime is a triple changer Transformers figure, with the ability to transformer from robot mode, truck with a trailer, and a battle station/skateboarding ramp mode. The robot mode has a Autobot symbols on the right shoulder, and the figure can hold two blasters, with a shoulder mounted cannon on top that is also the skateboarding ramp.The cannon can also be placed in one of his hands as long as the arm is kept straight.
In truck mode, the trailer can hold several blasters on top, two on the top of the back, and the sides of the trailer reads Primitive Skateboarding.The cab includes light blue wings on front, a peg for a Titan Master figure to stand on the roof, six rotating tires, the word Primitive on the roof, The extra accessories such as the ramps, and skate rail can be placed on top.
The third mode is a battle station that is also a skate park. The base is for Titan Master figures, and there are pegs for them to stand on, as well as some space in front for several of the Titan Masters and their vehicles. The skate park is added with including the skate ramps and railing. This is done by attaching the ramps to the sides, and then the railing on top of the ramps. In this mode, the ramps appear as if they are hovering in the air, and a Titan Master can use the included skateboard to skate across the railing.
Overall, this is nice re-deco and we love the additional accessories that you get. This is also an interesting idea for a co-brand crossover as well as an exclusive. Hasbro has once again offered fans another great Transformers figure with some extra pieces that are special just for this release.
