Hong Kong model manufacturer YOLOPARK's "AMK PRO" series, known for its high-quality pre-painted alloy assembly models, is once again releasing a new product from the classic animated series "Transformers" – the "G1 Optimus Prime Transparent Version" pre-painted alloy assembly model. The suggested retail price is US$59.99, and it is currently available for limited-time pre-order on the official website, with an estimated release date of January 2025!
Many Transformers characters appearing in the G1 animation were conceived by Hasbro, who commissioned Marvel Comics to develop them based on the Diaclone series toys created by Japan's TAKARA company. The most familiar Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, was precisely a character developed from Battle Convoy, one of the first Diaclone series introduced!
This AMK PRO "G1 Optimus Prime Transparent Version" re-creates the G1 Optimus Prime model previously released as the second product in the AMK PRO series, now with partially transparent parts. It can be assembled with simple steps, stands approximately 20 cm tall when completed, and features sculpted details that capture the simple yet charming aesthetic of the G1 design. Although it does not transform, it features pull-out joints in the shoulders and hips, providing excellent articulation despite its relatively geometric shape. Furthermore, the partially alloy-crafted parts give the overall model a substantial weight, making it incredibly satisfying to handle!
The main highlight this time is the departure from the previous excellent weathering paint effect. Instead, the red and blue outer shell and silver parts are re-created with transparent materials, allowing the internal skeletal structure to be seen when displayed. The removable Matrix in the chest also becomes more prominent! The head also features a magnetic LED light-up function, making him appear even more lifelike. When displayed with accessories like the Energy Axe and blaster, he can exude a powerful aura distinct from the regular version!
