Sentinel pen Optimus Prime pen released & pics

The first of the Sentinel Pens, actually called Optimus Prime instead of Convoy, was released in Japan two days ago, and a gallery can be seen here of it in-hand.

It is still available on Amazon Japan (about AU$45!), but it is classed as a toy, so you'd need to get someone there to help, or a shipping forwarder. Or buy from a secondary source.

Note though, it is not produced or released by TakaraTomy - it is a licensed product... it is rare for licensed products to be transformable, so maybe there was some involvement by TakaraTomy in the design?

The black version has a release date of October 31st, and possibly the white version as well.

He's sitting in my Private Warehouse at HLJ, can't wait to check him out. Just waiting on some other JP exclusives before shipping.

Bigbad has him bfor $54, which is steep but considering JP only is fair enough

He definitely looks very nice, but that's a VERY expensive pen. Not that he'd be in "alt" mode very often.... :D
