Hasbro has waited a long time to light our darkest hour, as the listing for the 1986 Optimus Prime 2024 Studio Series TF Movie Commander Class surfaces from the retail inventory zone. It looks like Ultra Magnus will have a classmate with this Commander Class release for the Autobots Leader. Have the tables been turned with Optimus Prime being spun off from an Ultra Magnus mold? We will have to wait and see, so check out the full listing below, thanks to JTPrime17. - Read the Full News Story

Studio Series 86 commander class Optimus Prime?

Hell yeah!

If we were still working with Kingdom Ultra Magnus then Earthrise Optimus prime would be fine. For Rodimus you could still go back to PotP Rodimus and use just Hot Rod as a Rodimus that "matches" Earthrise Optimus and Kingdom Magnus. Or just use SS86 Hot Rod.

However we now have SS86 Magnus and that changes things. Earthrise Optimus looks like straight trash next to SS86 Magnus and Kingdom Rodimus. I'm pretty sure that Rodimus has more going on in his two arms than Optimus has going on in his whole body parts wise. Comparing them is not even close. 

No, this is probably a fake image for the 2024 Studio Series TF Move Commander Class 86 Optimus Prime. The robot doesn't look like others, however the trailer looks to be a copy of the MP-44. What was recently leaked as a retail listing appears on the SNS with the box, robot, trailer and accessories including his ION Blaster, Energon Axe, Matrix of Leadership, and blast effects. - Read the Full News Story

The box art is just art from one of the Transformers TCG cards. 

Yeah, looks like they chopped the MP-44 legs and head with Earthrise OP's torso.

Right; I'd like to see something a bit more official than this.

Making the rounds on the Asia SNS are so-called imaged of the Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime Commander Class. What has been rumored to be a simplied MP-44 figure, appears in this image of the Autobot Leader playing a tune. This could be a fake, but it not, I have to guess this was leaked from a pending stop-motion video that we often see from Hasbro China. - Read the Full News Story

The backpack is kind of big for a Commander Class. The Leader Class didn't even have a backpack... But! I'll leave any official thoughts until the full images are released.

The MP44 has a backpack similar to that, but they covered it up. IF this is MP44 based, they went the less expensive route with a more bulky design. Which, might be a good thing because I am not a fan of the many thin pieces you have to fold up to transform it. Even if it has minimal kibble.

Makes sense, I get not wanting a lot of fragile pieces on a Transformer, but I kind of liked the sleek Earthrise Optimus Prime design.
