Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime is the noble and courageous leader of the Autobots. A wise commander and peerless warrior, he is defined by his profound compassion and unwavering commitment to protecting all life in the universe. He believes that freedom is the right of all sentient beings and will stop at nothing to thwart the tyrannical ambitions of the Decepticons.

Released in April 2014, this Elite Class Optimus Prime was part of the 'Beast Hunters' refresh for the Construct-Bots line. The figure was not widely distributed, seeing only a very limited release in select Asian and European markets, including France and Hungary. This scarcity makes it exceptionally difficult to find in North America.

• Buildable figure with a robot frame and snap-on armor pieces.
• Includes multiple accessories.
• Features two push-button missile launchers.
• All parts are cross-compatible with other figures in the Transformers Construct-Bots line.

• Semi Truck Cab
• Robot

While the Construct-Bots line itself has a niche following, this particular Optimus Prime is exceptionally rare due to its severely limited distribution. Its absence from major retail markets like the US and UK makes it a significant grail for completists of the line or for collectors focused on Optimus Prime variants. Its scarcity is the primary driver of its value on the secondary market.

Consistent with many figures in the Construct-Bots line, the ball joints used for articulation can become loose over time with repeated assembly and disassembly, which may impact the stability of poses.
