Toys - A Toy So Nice, They're Releasing It Thrice -- At Once! Transformers Spotlight Optimus Prime

During one of the more recent-ish Hasbro Pulse streams, I believe that someone from the Transformers team teased us with the possibility of doing releases of Transformers figures that resembled the prototypes shown off at toy shows. Or at least, I think they did. I can't find it, so we're not...

Heaven help me if they do this for, say, SS86 Hot Rod.

Otherwise it's More Than Meets The Why.

I think you may be safe. SS '86 Hot Rod was a Voyager, despite being Deluxe sized due to the budget they poured into him.
And this line seems priced to move three Deluxes in a set. Three Voyagers would make this whole thing more expensive then it already is, and it's already nearly $100.

As Devastation OP is quite possibly my favorite mold of 2025, this set was made for me (plus we get a gun finally).

If I were in charge of designing an expensive exclusive set using Devastation Op, I'd do a two pack of that and the Legacy Deluxe with all the sticker details painted. And if I needed to throw in something else to pump up the price, I'd throw in a trailer. Just one, like the Chronicle set.

"You kids and your arr-tickle-ay-shun! In my day, we could aim our guns forward most of the time, and that was enough!"
"Sure, grandpa, let's get you in the trailer and back to the home."

Why does this make me picture Roller as Optimus’s grandfather?

The "arr" part made me read Grandpa's line in a pirate voice.

In addition to a dockworker, data clerk, and cop, some Optimus Primes across the multiverse are believed to have been among the lineage of the Dread Pirate Cannonball.
