Do you still have your original Optimus Prime figure from the 1980s? Do you wish it was more like the G1 cartoon version of the Autobot leader while still maintaining that classic Takara Tomy chunkiness? Then get ready for the Missing Link!
Transformers Masterpiece Missing Link C-02 Optimus Prime is a brand new figure that incorporates the old-school design of the legendary figure but with modern updates. The transformation is still super simple, but this new Prime has way better articulation!
Thankfully, Takara Tomy knows that not all of us want yet another trailer jacking up the price of an Optimus Prime figure. So, the Missing Link G1 classic comes in two models: with and without the iconic silver trailer/ battle station.
It makes all the difference if you’re trying to stay under $100. G1 Missing Link Optimus Prime by himself is $69.99. However, if you’ve gotta have that trailer, the combo comes to $119.99.
Missing Link Optimus Prime will not ship out until May 24th, 2024.

The Lunar Cruiser Optimus Prime shakes things up a bit by giving us a whole new vehicle mode and some welcome departures from the standard designs. In robot mode, Prime still maintains several of his distinguishing features, but the vehicle mode really sets this figure apart.
