Transformers Titanium Diecast War Within Optimus Prime

Updated With new pictures.




Damn that's a long name. Anyway, The War Within was actually a series of comic book mini-series written by featuring Generation One characters with brand new pre-Earth designs. I have not read the comics themselves because I am not that big of a comic fan but hey its Optimus Prime so I will chronicle it.





This is Prime's cybertronian vehicle mode on cybertron. It looked sort of like a cross between 4x4 motocross bike, batman's tumbler and a hint of Harley Davidson. The toy still maintains its G1 roots, big red chest and blue legs with spots of yellows on the right places. The wheels looks big and badass. Oh and did I mention that despite the toy's size, it feels rock solid and its really heavy.




I won this on ebay for US$7.50. Items was used but it was a steal. The downside was that it was suppose to come with a stand but the stand was missing. Still trying to get the seller to find me the stand and send it to me. The figure is not very poseable other than the standard 'I look badass with a gun in my hands' pose, you can't really pose complicated actions.




This toy is out of production, so its basically in the rare category. Try scouting Ebay. Amazon still sells this although prices can rich quite high. Ebay is your best bet if you want it cheap.
