Shattered Glass Optimus Prime

In this switched universe, Optimus Prime is evil. Rather than simply turning him into another version of Nemesis Prime, the Botcon designers chose to go with a rather Decepticon inspired purple paint job. Carrying a battered, weathered paint job filled with battle scars, war damage, and scratches, Optimus’s paint is beautifully detailed.

His windshield is cracked, and coated with grime, and his headlights glow an eerie green which casts a strange contrast against his purple paint. The battle slogan, “Till All Are Gone!” is written atop his weather vane, and the Mirrorverse purple Autobot symbol is stamped diagonally onto the sides of his cab mode. In robot mode, these symbols appear on his arm shields, and his optics are now red, while his helmet crest is gold.

The Classics Optimus mold has not suffered from any mold failings, and is as posable and steady as it has always been. The battle slogan was ingeniously placed on the weather vane, allowing it to wind up on his Ion Cannon.

Heavily armed, and wonderfully detailed, Evil Optimus Prime is an odd, and excellent addition to any collection, if one can wrap their head around the idea of an evil Optimus! (Yes, it is very difficult to do!)
