    Default G-Shock X Transformers Optimus Prime

    Introducing the second most expensive Transformer ever (going by MSRP) and the closest thing Takara are going to do to a Time Warrior update, the G-Shock X Transformers Optimus Prime.

    Yeah, I'm really scratching my head about this one cause of the ¥31,320 MSRP. Better be one fancy watch...

    That's like... almost AU$400... for a toy that comes with a real watch. (and is likely to be super limited, and end up costing a lot more on the secondary market when it sells out on release)

    And it comes out in less than a month - December 8th - which isn't long to save up for it.


    So Optimus transforms into a display stand, for a watch.... that would have to be one of his worst alt-modes ever. (or best disguise mode, as Decepticons wouldn't be looking for an inanimate object that isn't a weapon or vehicle.... that's mostly their thing)

    They actually have an official name for it... "Pedestal Prime mode". Alt mode is so craptacularly un-inspirational it should be renamed "Pedestool Prime mode".

    I want one. Where thou can I get a complete set?

    Heh heh heh. That's the thing Delta - according to RobotKingdom's listing, the watch is not included. Comes with the matrix crystal as a placeholder
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Sorry, you're right. We wouldn't want to transform this thread into some off-topic abomination.

    Wait... $400 and it doesn't come with the watch? I thought that that was why it was so expensive... since the "toy" isn't that big.
