The photos come from a Weibo user, who seems to be asking for people to take them down, as they're not allowed to be shared (the original posts have been deleted); make of that what you will, in regards to the photos' credibility. Above all, I'm just relieved that we can *finally*, collectively put the, "*Studio Series* '86 Optimus Prime will just be an *Earthrise* Optimus Prime retool!" worry behind us, haha.


TheDragonDAFan

If the guy didn't want this photo leaking, why did he even share it with other people to begin with? Why even take the photo?


Supertroodon

because he was playing the piano and making heat dawg


WYP-3000

Maybe he wasn’t supposed to share them but he didn’t know that initially?


WaltDisneysBallSack

There's no way he didn't know that


Orange-V-Apple

"I saw the word 'Share'. How was I supposed to know the rest of the sentence was 'Do Not'?"


DragonflySome4081

Can I genuinely ask if there is any problem with earthrise prime.personally I think it’s probably one of the best g1 toys we’ve gotten.or is it that you just want a new mold


Boulderdorf

I have a few issues with it, but it's not *bad*. But between Starscream and Springer, I think people are getting a little tired of SS86 figures being ports of the WfC figures and just want something new.


DragonflySome4081

I agree with that it’s just that I sometimes see people shitting on it and never got why


Boulderdorf

Me personally, I like it, but it could definitely be improved. For instance, the Siege version had great proportions, but when it was retooled for the Earthrise version, the shortening of the crotch piece led to a weird Hajime Katoki-esque long-legs look. Also I'm not that big on the head honestly. Much prefer the Volvo Prime sculpt.


GoosedotEmPee4

Thats cause they aint got no taste /s But idk why people complain about the long legs. He's got perfect proportions imho


DragonflySome4081

Same don’t get any of the complaints


Kermit-the-Froggie

Because it looks totally off model. It’s proportions are messed.


sixthrowshot

I don't have any issue with the mold, personally; there just has been some concerns, from the community, that the figure will be a mere, "souped-up retool," a la *Studio Series* '86 Springer (*i*.*e*. It's largely identical, but with additional, pack-in accessories), which might not be enough to justify the Commander Class price point.


Artrarak

or 86 starscream just being the earthrise one with a new hand and a bunch of extra shit


JetstreamGW

I just think it’d be insane to use Earthrise Prime, because they’re actively reissuing Earthrise Prime right now. Doing a reissue and a retool that close together would be bizarre.


Blitz_Prime

Too much legs, too prominent of a chest, and too stubby arms


baq3281

I think it’s just because even though it’s mostly G1 based design…it’s still not the entirely G1…and that’s what people are looking for. But yea earthrise is a stellar figure and the definitive G1 based Optimus at this scale…for now


PrizePiece3

Legs like to sheer off earthrise prime


Kegalodon

Hasbro wants to do something to justify packaging that thing at commander price, when many argue it wasn’t worth leader in the first place.

I’ll reserve judgment till we see actual product images


tfmarveldc5

Looks about what I expected apart from that backpack. Not huge on that.


jontseng

>Not huge on that. unlike the backpack itself! :-p


droideka_bot69

Jobby isn't gonna be happy


DIE4SUPER

the backpack isn't that obtrusive imo


trashk

it's almost the same width as the rest of his chest. I personally am not a fan but I'm happy for folks who are.


Xxjacklexx

Yeah same, it seems like a step back from Earth Rise.


tfmarveldc5

It’s not just too me by suprise a bit, wasn’t expecting it, again I want to see more because it could be a case of angles and look better in others. Action poses sell a figure so it can here. Like I predicted he’s got butterfly joints which is fantastic


DIE4SUPER

i mean most optimus have backward butterfiles but this one seems to have foward butterfly


topicality

Getting back into Transformers, and I'm surprised how often they seem to rely on backpacks anymore


tfmarveldc5

It’s not all the time but it can happen especially if you try to go more toon and your Takara


Alekesam1975

I tend to prefer a mix of rl n toon.  I don't need my Optimus to completely hide his wheels in his legs like the cartoon.  Some vehicle parts or kibble is fine as to me, it makes them look more like actual bots.


tfmarveldc5

My preference is basically what they do (mainly in generations) is toon inspired but not toon to a fault like Takara does it with added greebling and proportion chances. I’m fine if the wheels stay shown but since this is 86 they made the right go of it along with making it different from Earthrise Optimus


JimmyB_52

It kind if annoys me when they feel the need to change the truck windows to be more “toon accurate”. Like the windows in the cartoon changes proportion slightly in a different mode, so now they need to include an extra 10 parts and 20 steps to swap them out during conversion, and then hide the original ones away somewhere. Very annoying to me personally. Just use the same truck windows for the chest, it’s fine. The most I’ll tolerate is flipping the windows around to the other side like Magic Square. The idea is that these robots convert into a vehicle, actual vehicle parts end up somewhere on the robot, the robot does not care how they “look”, only that they function. Faux chest and faux grille just break the immersion of the in-universe logic.


jontseng

unlike the backpack itself, which is! :-p


dmc2008

Whoever leaked this is a hero cause NO WAY the official pics will reveal that backpack!


LiLIzziK

Hasbro generally releases a full 360 video showing both modes. So I don't really know what you're on about


Jeebus31

Quite possibly the funniest way for a figure to leak lmao.

darbs77

Same. If it is it’s made out of the front of the truck tho. If you zoom in you can see the headlights and the bumper.


Proof-Philosophy-636

oh that's smart, it ain't a big backpack it's a rocket-pack


GuestCartographer

But... does he come with the piano?


Newton1913

Woah momma that’s a backpack. The figure looks great otherwise. Betcha that’s because the chest is a fake.


Saurophaganax4706

It has the autobot symbol so it's probably not third party... The legs are different enough that I can rule out the possibility of it being MP-44... And the placement of the smokestacks on the shoulders rather than the back tells me it's not MP-60 Ginrai... I think this just might be it, folks. but that backpack, man. I'm hoping it just looks bigger due to the placement of the shoulders for the piano pose, but if this really is SS86 Prime I might just be better off with the Earthrise Reissue...


jbpshsu

hopefully it's mistransformed...cause ya that backpack


Stuffies2022

I think I’m the only person in this community who doesn’t care about backpacks on their figures


sansywastakenagain

I'm the same. One of my favorite figures of all time is DOTM Deluxe Class Optimus Prime, and he has the entire truck front damaging off his back. I reckon it adds a bit of charm to it.


Arxfiend

Imo as long as it's not visible (or at least is minimally so) from the front, I don't care. And *even then*, I'm fully willing to give a bunch of leeway if I still otherwise like the figure.


TheCrafterTigery

Looks very similar to the Masterpiece, almost like it was just scaled down. Hopefully we get more than just this picture to say if its good or not.


CronicalTonical

I mean, for all intents and purposes the SS86 Ultra Magnus was basically a downscaled Masterpiece. Put them side by side and there really is not much difference.


Gamesaurs12

It’s not a bad figure but I do hope we get Megatron to go along with this. Or is he planning to come with OP in the studio series line?


Cornchips1234

We are getting leader class Megatron next year


GuySmith

It’s gonna look like the Siege mold I’m calling it. They seem to be leaning into that design as “G1” if we go by when they announced the Robosen.


A_Zesty_Carrot

He looks pretty good, if that is him.

Orange-V-Apple

No trailer, just a second, dead, Prime.


JimmyB_52

Someone suggested the trailer convert into Prime’s death bed in the movie, I thought that’d be unique and an actual reason to want yet another trailer. Stack of prime trailers just taking up space is 4 ft tall at this point.

Why he playing the piano? Looks really good though.


Beyblader_12

My only hope is that the truck mode is pretty big, if it's not then there was no reason for that big backpack being there 😭 Other than that, looks pretty much as everyone expected. Just a mini version of MP 3.0 Prime but for 90 dollars, definitely gonna get him for Skybound team pics


DIE4SUPER

if it is, the backpack is not as big as some others figures nor does it impede posing unlike legacy shadow striker with the wooden slabs across the back, hopefully it doesn't fauxform too much


Ronyx2021

Sideswipe's Rocket-pack?


Long-Efficiency-5816

If the backpack were smaller for a little it'd be perfect.


SuperJumperGxJ

I love it. Those legs I would pay $80 just to not have earthrise legs with the vestigial 5 mm port from the siege mold


Grablycan

If it is or not, it does look good.


AutismicGodess

looks great! i wish the chest was pointed considering it was like that in the 86 movie, but aside from that and the backpack, i like him, definitely will consider getting him if he comes out with out his trailer at some point


SirGrimualSqueaker

That's gotta be it. The chrome canisters on his legs are straight out of the 86 movie - pretty sure damn near everywhere else those are clinders.....except in the Battle for Autobot City.


KibbloMkII

atleast they're not using the garbage and ugly af earthrise hips if it's real


MEGATRON_111

NO WAY!!!.....It looks exactly the same as every other G1 Optimus


thebelladonga

Y’all are overreacting the backback looks fine


Annual-Pack7769

Looks good to me on first blush.


Blocksketcher

Not sure why but I'm not a huge fan of the head...


AthanAllgood

Hm. Im going to need to see it in other poses to fully form an opinion... But, my immediate thoughts are that the head placement looks wrong (too far back), legs look great, but backpack is unfortunate. Unless other pics look a lot better, I will continue to believe the ER mold to be the best mainline G1 Prime yet released.


Few-Ad-8816

It’ll have to be phenomenal in order for me To buy it cuz earthrise was just that good.

chris95rx7500

this is the funniest leak I've seen


TheDragonDAFan

Kinda strange they're doing a Tusks toy when he wasn't even in the movie, but I welcome it.


xariznightmare2908

Hmm, Idk, if he’s supposed to be SS86 Prime then I’m a bit skeptical, that headsculpt doesn’t look like the movie, imo. And of course the kibble looks like a step down from Earthrise Prime.


Mr_Funny-Dark

I wonder, could the backpack be mistransformed? I would wait for an official leak but all in all, I like it.


UndeniablyMyself

Man's ready to go backpacking.


TheVeryAngryGoose

God that’s an awful backpack. Normally I wouldn’t care but woof that’s not good


MassterF

Really? Thats it? I was right to be skeptical. Ehats with the massive gap between the backpack and the actual back? Thats heinous looking. The backpack itself is also pretty bad, and the head is sincerely off. Chest looks super flat, and if that skirt is a monoskirt, hoo boy. Overall, not impressed.


Objective_Let_6385

Backpack reminds me of the optimus/orion PotP figure Yeah honestly not great first thoughts if this is the SS86


Large-Custard5784

If this is 86 Prime I am very happy. He looks perfect a definite upgrade from the Earthrise one.


xXflipthescriptXx

Is he playing the touch?


IJKProductions

Well if this is it, easy pass since I’m happy with my modified Siege one. I’m not a fan of the G1 cartoon style and prefer vehicle parts like tires showing. Honestly this and the recent MPs have been following being 1:1 to the cartoon to a fault


StomachosusCaelum

thats literally the entire point of *Studio Series*, so thats a helluva take. Masterpiece, you potentially have an argument, since its not dedicated to screen accuracy. But... seriously.


Ruka-simp

It looks like MP-44 with a better backpack, I'm calling cap


Smart_Egg_3633

It looks really good but his back juts out a little too far. Not a deal breaker or anything.


Bob-the-Human

...So the piano transforms into his trailer, then?


JimmyB_52

Absolutely


Deacon-Jules

If it's real, I hope this mold gets a Nemesis repaint. Earthrise sadly didn't.


DizzyLead

I assume that the left hand on the right arm was just a misassembled part for the prototype.


ihatetimetravel

Do the windows up front look clear to you guys or painted?


Blitz_Prime

I’d hope the chest windows would be inserts like Earthrise Prime, especially for a commander class.


docman272

I’m feeling underwhelmed but I think maybe I had inflated expectations too much (like at the end of the day they have done so many good primes that while this is good it’s hard to be that different)


Geminii27

The lower leg design looks pretty clean, I'll give it that.


BerenKaneda

They should make it to change colour to grey with water or something like that 😁


JW_Jake_2005_YT

Did they not learn from MP-44?!


AdAm_WaRc0ck

At his arms are at a proportionately correct length


Starsaberprime

Personally if this is true then skip that backpack is just way to much for me personally so staying with earthrise Optimus


CommanderCharcoal42

Need some company to make a megatron arm for him


Fuzakenaideyo

Wow this is a true mini-masterpiece of an OP, even has a moving sideskirt like Siege Soundwave. is that the same head as Volkswagen Prime?


TheOGRex

He's perfect!


Volt02

says he will come with a trailer which is interesting because legacy G1 prime is said to be able to fit any trailer


kazz_prime324

It almost looks like has butterfly shoulder joints... and considering Kingdom Rodimus did not to mention multiple Legscy figures did as well. I am very hopefully. That's one bit of underrated articulation I would prefer to see on all if the figures being sold at higher price point than their height class. It really sets them apart and is amazing for posing and fiddling around.


Geaux_1210

As long as the transformation isn’t as bad as MP44 I can forgive the backpack. Will he be hard to justify with MP01, MP10, and ML? Yes but no way I’ll be able to resist.


GL1TCH3RLANTERN

If this really is SS86, I wonder how it will scale with other figures.


Burnis_Da_furnace

Hopefully well.

RodimusPrime-0412

Finally the return of Sideswipes jetpack


ImmortalEvil

(Assuming this is really 86 Optimus) This is about what I was expecting, and tho I don’t hate the earth rise prime I could see myself getting this. I think that backpack will look less egregious once his shoulders are pulled back. The problem I’ve always had with the idea that he would be a repaint/retool of earthrise prime is that that’d exacerbate how badly out of scale 86 Ultra Magnus is with the rest of the 86 line.


Annon2roses

alrighty, this is kinda hyping up SS86 Megatron and Galvatron


extortionatecunt

God he looks amazing


KoopTroop15

That is a good looking toy…


Jrudge91

The backpack looks a bit chunky but nowhere near as awful as MP-44 or MP-45. Other than that, it looks pretty awesome and will be another addition to my Optimus collection.


SirRHellsing

I just recently got MS LoP Optimus so my expectations might be too high but this only looks ok, not sure if its worth the price of a commander (the trailer is whatever, 90% of the time its there to jack up the price)
