Takara Tomy PlayStation Optimus Prime

[DELTAprime]

With the Mega Drive Megatron it was inevitable we would get a Optimus Prime that turns into a console. Polygon is reporting Takara has announced that Optimus will turn into the original PlayStation (AKA the PSX). Check him out over at Polygon.

Hmm, that does not feel right. The competitor to the Megadrive was the SNES. The Playstation never ran against it.

The PS is cool but the 'magic' is gone as Megadrive vs PS makes no sense at all. Sega Saturn vs PS would have made infinitely more sense.

Now I am really hoping for some clever 3P to do an SNES Prime.

rodimus will be a ps2 as the successor and galvatron will be a gamecube.

[twincobra]

Well that suxs, very bizarre choice.

[Penetrator]

wonder who will be the PS4

Star Sabre?

PS3 is God Ginrai?

:D

Movieverse Brains! The sexy stud that he is.:D

Fort Max could be the massive original Xbox.:p

[griffin]

Nah... Fort Max would transform into the WOPR - the ultimate gaming console. ;)
Or should that be a Unicron toy?

(I'm such a geek. :p )

With the controller plugged in like that, maybe they should have done him as Shockwave!

I'm wondering and would like to know before I buy them if this and Megatron have any input from Takara's Transformers team. Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. is making these figures, I really hope the regular Takara Tomy Transformers team helped the A.R.T.S. team because whenever someone at Hasbro doesn't consult Takara on a toy we end up with crap like Energon Grimlock and Titanium Series.

That's really nice, shame it's not on my priorities right now, too much Generations stuff.

Hefty price tag though.

At 19cm tall that would have to be a really small Playstation. :confused:

Just dropped into my HLJ Warehouse this morning. :)

[Bladestorm]

Ooohh... if you've got it a HLJ then it can't be far off landing here. Can't wait for the phone call to go pick him up!

Let us know if he's better than Megs. I plan on getting him only if people say he's good. Megs was so disappointing.
