2007 movie robot replica optimus prime

Post by LD2062 »

I've come across an odd paint variation of the 2007 movie robot replica optimus prime.

This is what the TFL database shows:

This is the variant:

You can see there is much less gray on the feet and thigh. Anyone know why they are different?

The only "official" variant was a battle-damage deco released in a two-pack. Yours is not it. My guess would be a production variant either later in the run, or at another plant. To my knowledge, this toy was never reissued in another series. ROTF Robot replicas prime was a new mold. Very interesting, good eye!

Not my eye sadly. I never noticed. I sold one and had the buyer asking why it wasn't the same as the official promos (something they didn't notice either in my photos).

A different production run was my guess too.

TFU.info has the variant as their official pic. They list just 1 version too.
