Today's Prime shot takes a look at a very unique and possibly one of the strangest Optimus Prime toys made, the Sandbot 6-in-1 Sand Toy set. Made by HG Toy in 1985, they have thoughtfully combined many of the signature elements of the Autobots leader into a super fun sand pail that has made the helmet into a strainer, the truck front into a scoop, and the arms into a shovel and scoop.
