Optimus Prime is the largest, strongest and wisest of all Autobots. Feels his role is the protection of all life, including Earth-life. Fights unceasingly to defeat the Decepticons. Splits into three autonomous modules: 1) Optimus Prime... the brain center known as the Commander; 2) Roller, the Autobot scout car... a spy who operates up to 1200 miles away; and 3) Autobot Headquarters... the combat deck equipped with a versatile mechanic/artillery robot. Injury to one module is felt by the other two.

Got this from Sungei Wang Plaza, as it was sold out everywhere when released. Paid original retail price, this is one awesome model, which basically make my fanboy dream come true...super articulation, well balance, posebility is numero uno, with die cast parts and realistic rendering of the cheesy G1 animation Optimus Prime into a tangible product. This is version Japan, which has taller smoke stacks and not battle damage, as oppose to Hasbro US market release. Called Convoy instead of Optimus Prime. Comes with grey ion blaster, removable light-up Matrix of Leadership, a miniature gun-mode Megatron with stock, scope and silencer for Opie to hold, as well as the energy axe seen in one of the TV episodes. This first model does not come with the trailer. Instead, have an option to use the box which can be folded into a trailer. Takara has since reissue Opie with a full proper trailer but however, a Roller figure was not included. The ion blaster is also now color corrected in black.
